Prompt
You will choose a well-known individual from history or current popular literature, with instructor approval, who has a known physiological—as opposed to psychiatric or psychological—disease or illness, and, using a systematic approach, you will analyze that disease or illness. You will also develop a plan of care for that disease or illness.
 

In your analysis, you will describe the pathophysiology for your selected disease or illness, propose historical explanations for variations in findings (when applicable), and demonstrate use of nursing conceptual models to frame your discussion of adaptation and stressors collectively for system analysis.
 

Your plan of care should utilize the PIE (planning, intervention, and evaluation) format. The planning (P) section should include at least two short-term and two long-term goals that are most appropriate for your chosen case, and each goal should have measurable criteria and have a hypothetical target date or time. The intervention (I) section should include interventions or nursing actions that directly relate to the selected case’s goals and that are specific in action and frequency. The number of interventions should be appropriate for helping to meet individual goals. Finally, the evaluation (E) section of the plan of care should include proposed measures for determining success of the plan and an evaluation of the potential success of the plan, based on those measures. 

    

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: 

1. Introduce your selected case
    
   1. a)  Identify the individual you selected and his or her disease or illness, and provide a brief explanation of why you selected this case.
       
   2. b)  Describe how normal physiology is changed by the disease state for your selected case.
       
   3. c)  Define the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations associated with your selected case and how they may be explained by altered physiology.
      Be sure to support your claims with scholarly evidence.
       
   4. d)  Assess the extent to which clinical manifestations of your selected case affect multiple body systems, using scholarly evidence to support your
      claims.
       
2. History of selected case
    
   1. a)  Describe historical variations (that is, examples of individuals with the selected disease or illness) of your selected case, using evidence from
      literature.
       
   2. b)  Identify physiological stressors that may affect the course of the disease or illness, and explain their impact.
       
   3. c)  Identify adaptive physiological mechanisms that may affect the course of the disease for your selected case.
       
   4. d)  Assess the historical impact of patient care technologies on patient outcomes for your selected case. Be sure to justify your claims with scholarly
      evidence.
       
3. Planning for care for your selected case
    
   1. a)  Write a goal statement that is patient-centered and contains at least one measurable criterion or target date/time. In order to address this
      element comprehensively, you should be sure to provide at least two short-term and two long-term goals for your selected case.
       
   2. b)  Analyze the critical nursing concerns associated with this disease state, and prioritize them from a treatment standpoint.
       
   3. c)  Identify patient care technologies that are appropriate for managing clinical manifestations of your selected case.
       
4. Intervention
    
   1. a)  Outline appropriate nursing interventions for your selected case. Be sure to substantiate your claims with scholarly evidence.
       
   2. b)  Outline common classes of medications used to manage the disease. Be sure to provide examples from scholarly evidence to support your
      claims.
       
   3. c)  Assess the extent to which current patient care technologies improve health promotion for your selected case, using scholarly evidence to
      support your claims.
       
   4. d)  Assess the extent to which current patient care technologies assist in decreasing medication errors and improving patient safety with regard to
      your selected case.
          

V. Evaluation 

1. a)  Identify the most appropriate measures for determining the success of your plan of care. In other words, what data will you need to collect to
   determine if your plan worked? Be sure to substantiate your claims with scholarly evidence.
    
2. b)  In terms of the outcome measures you identified, evaluate the potential success of your plan of care and proposed nursing interventions for
   your selected case. In other words, do you feel your proposed plan of care and interventions for your selected case will result in successful outcomes? Be sure to justify your rationale with evidence-based research.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the community setting and analyze the role of a nurse in the assigned setting. Health promotion nursing interventions and a professional nursing organization related to this role will also be examined. 

This APA paper is expected to be no more than four pages in length (not including the title page and reference list). Please use the recommended APA Template linked below, which incorporates the following categories as the first-level headings on your paper. APA formatting helps you to organize your paper in a professional manner and provides consistent methods for citing your sources and completing your reference page. See the documents in the APA category in Resources tile for assistance with APA formatting. The Student Success Strategies resource has great sections on writing scholarly papers and APA formatting.

This paper has a topic already chosen, be sure to write only on the topic assigned. It may not be the same topic you are seeing in this tutorial. You will want to read and take notes on the setting and role(s) in your textbook and also find at least one scholarly peer-reviewed journal article that is not assigned in the course related to a nurse’s role in health promotion in this setting. The link to the library is also provided in the guidelines. Search peer-reviewed journals to find a scholarly article on this topic. The article must be less than 10 years old (less than 5 years is best).

The first component of this assignment is a title page including the Running head and page number. Next, you will start this paper with an introduction that will give a brief overview of the assigned community setting. Then, briefly identify CHN role(s) in this setting and identify vulnerable population(s) served in this setting. Be sure to include a purpose statement.

The next section will focus on the community setting, 2-3 paragraphs is sufficient. Start by describing the assigned community setting, including vulnerable population(s) served. Discuss three health services provided a CHN in the assigned setting. Use your textbook or an outside scholarly source to address these sub-points.

The next part of the paper focuses on health promotion nursing intervention. Again, this should be two to three paragraphs. You will want to describe in detail health promotion intervention(s) that a CHN could implement in the assigned community setting. Next, identify people/organizations/community members this CHN role may collaborate with in health promotion interventions. You must utilize at least one peer-reviewed scholarly article related to a health promotion intervention.

The subsequent area of focus will be on a professional nursing organization. Provide a detailed description of a professional nursing organization related to the assigned community setting.

Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients’ health risks.

For this Discussion, you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for a particular new patient assigned by your Instructor.

To prepare:

With the information presented in Chapter 1 of Ball et al. in mind, consider the following:

· By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion. Note: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your new patient profile assignment.

Case C 38-year-old Native American pregnant female living on a reservation

· How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?

· How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s social determinants of health?

· What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks.

· Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.

· Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient.

· Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history.

By Day of Week 1

1-Post a Summary of the Interview and a Description of the Communicationtechniques you would use with your assigned patient.

“Case C 38-year-old Native American pregnant female living on a reservation”

2-Explain Why you would use these techniques.

3-Identify the risk Assessment Instrumentyou selected and Justify Why it would be applicable to the selected patient.

4-Provide at Least Five targeted questionsyou would ask the patient.
