In our readings on page 208 promoting the health of the family as a unit and “encouraging families to value and incorporate health promotion into their lifestyle are seen as essential components of family nursing practice. Family health promotion refers to the activities that families engage in to strengthen the family as a unit. Family health promotion is defined as achieving maximum family well-being throughout the family life course and includes the biological, emotional, physical, and spiritual realms for family members and the family unit task of families is to teach health maintenance and health promotion, regardless of age.”

How do you see your role in Family Health Promotion? Give an example of how you have promoted health in a family, as a professionally or as a non-healthcare professional.

Question

How do acute cases differ from chronic cases in primary care management?

* some acute cases may require the patient to be admitted to the hospital, others may be managed in the primary care setting. 

Explain the types of cases that can be managed in primary care clinic as a nurse practitioner provider. 

Assignment Description

Students have the opportunity to choose between one of two topics (listed below) and become an expert in that topic, writing an eight-page literature

review (11-12 pages including the title page, abstract page, and reference sheet(s) at the end) addressing the most important things that the student learned

from reviewing the research and other information on the subject. Students may choose topics related to either (1) sexuality within marriage, or (2) family

finance. Students are encouraged to narrow their research topic to a specific topic related to one of these two categories (i.e., communication regarding

sexuality in marriage, how pornography affects marriage, communication regarding money in marriage, husband and wife differences in money behavior,

etc.).

What should your paper look like? You will pick a topic such as “How Pornography Affects Marriage,” for example. Then you will organize your paper by

subtopics, such as (1) How pornography affects husbands in marriage, (2) wives in marriage, and (3) children in the family. For the husband section, you will

find all of the articles that you can in which the researchers have studied how pornography affects husbands, and you will review and write a review of that

literature (i.e., “This is what these researchers have to say about this topic, and this is what these other researchers have to say about this topic”), and then

you will move on to the next subtopic, such as “how pornography affects wives in marriage”, and review all of the literature on that topic and write a review

based on what many articles say about that specific topic. All of the subheadings in your paper should be related to the main topic, which is, in this example,

“How pornography affects marriage.”

The paper should be double-spaced, times new roman, 12 point font, 1-inch margins. The title page, abstract, and reference pages do NOT count toward the

number of pages. KEEP IT to 8 WRITTEN PAGES. NO MORE, NO LESS.

Students are expected to find at least twelve, but preferably 15 or more different scholarly peer-reviewed research articles published in professional journals

that they will use to review in their paper and document on their reference sheet in APA format. Website references, magazine articles, news articles, or

books are NOT allowed as references, only scholarly peer-reviewed articles that have been published in professional journals will count toward

the total number of references. This is not a persuasive argument type of paper, but a project in which students learn from scholarly, peer-reviewed

research articles, and then report the information (in their own words) that they have found. At the end of the paper, students should take the final page

(eighth written page) to explain their opinion as to why this topic is important, why there should be more studies on this topic, and/or final major points to

consider, in a final section with the heading “Discussion.”

It is highly recommended that students begin this project early in the semester and approach the instructor with any questions as they are working on the

project to ensure that it is completed correctly and completely. For this final project, no papers will be accepted late, and no corrections may be made after

submitting the project.

References should be cited within the paper as the information is presented (according to APA guidelines). Your in-text citations should look like this after

you are done paraphrasing information from an article (Smith, 2014). The in-text citation is simply the author’s late name and year the article was published.

At the end of the paper (not included in the eight pages), students should use the reference page where they list all of the sources that they used to obtain

information for the research paper. This reference page should be written in APA format (see template).

IMPORTANT: Students will save their project as a .pdf file and submit the completed project via Canvas. Students use a variety of different programs to type

their papers. Saving the project as a .pdf file makes them all uniform so that we can open all files that are submitted. If your file is saved as a Word (.doc) or

text (.txt) file, or anything other than .pdf, your file will not be accepted by canvas. An easy way to save your file is to use google docs to type your paper, and

then save the file as a .pdf file. You are responsible to figure out how to save your file in the correct format before the due date so that you do not run into

any last minute drama because you can’t figure out how to save the file correctly. Plan ahead and get it done correctly or your paper will not be accepted.

Assignment 2: Practicum – Assessing Client Family Progress

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Create progress notes

· Create privileged notes

· Justify the inclusion or exclusion of information in progress and privileged notes

· Evaluate preceptor notes

To prepare:

· Reflect on the client family you selected for the Week 3 Practicum Assignment.

The Assignment

Part 1: Progress Note

Using the client family from your Week 3 Practicum Assignment, address in a progress note (without violating HIPAA regulations) the following:

· Treatment modality used and efficacy of approach

· Progress and/or lack of progress toward the mutually agreed-upon client goals (reference the treatment plan for progress toward goals)

· Modification(s) of the treatment plan that were made based on progress/lack of progress

· Clinical impressions regarding diagnosis and or symptoms

· Relevant psychosocial information or changes from original assessment (e.g., marriage, separation/divorce, new relationships, move to a new house/apartment, change of job)

· Safety issues

· Clinical emergencies/actions taken

· Medications used by the patient, even if the nurse psychotherapist was not the one prescribing them

· Treatment compliance/lack of compliance

· Clinical consultations

· Collaboration with other professionals (e.g., phone consultations with physicians, psychiatrists, marriage/family therapists)

· The therapist’s recommendations, including whether the client agreed to the recommendations

· Referrals made/reasons for making referrals

· Termination/issues that are relevant to the termination process (e.g., client informed of loss of insurance or refusal of insurance company to pay for continued sessions)

· Issues related to consent and/or informed consent for treatment

· Information concerning child abuse and/or elder or dependent adult abuse, including documentation as to where the abuse was reported

· Information reflecting the therapist’s exercise of clinical judgment

Note: Be sure to exclude any information that should not be found in a discoverable progress note.

Part 2: Privileged Note

Based on this week’s readings, prepare a privileged psychotherapy note that you would use to document your impressions of therapeutic progress/therapy sessions for your client family from the Week 3 Practicum Assignment.

In your progress note, address the following:

· Include items that you would not typically include in a note as part of the clinical record.

· Explain why the items you included in the privileged note would not be included in the client family’s progress note.

· Explain whether your preceptor uses privileged notes. If so, describe the type of information he or she might include. If not, explain why.
