The benchmark assesses the following competencies:

Participate in health care policy development to influence nursing practice and health care.

Research public health issues on the “Climate Change” or “Topics and Issues” pages of the American Public Health Association (APHA) website. Investigate a public health issue related to an environmental issue within the U.S. health care delivery system and examine its effect on a specific population.

Write a policy brief that summarizes the issue, explains the effect on the population, and proposes a solution to the issue.

Follow this outline when writing the policy brief:

1. Describe the policy health issue. Include the following information:
   1. what population is affected,
   2. at what level does it occur (local, state, or national),
   3. evidence about the issues supported by resources.
2. Create a problem statement.
3. Provide suggestions for addressing the health issue caused by the current policy.
   1. Describe what steps are required to initiate policy change.
   2. Include necessary stakeholders (government officials, administrator) and budget or funding considerations, if applicable.
4. Discuss the impact on the health care delivery system

In-Depth Study of Pathophysiological Disease Process

Introduction and Alignment

Each student will choose pathology of specific interest and prepare a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation, APA style on the subject.  This information will be presented online during the appropriate class time.  The presentation will cover background and prevalence of the disorder, related anatomy and physiology, etiology, related laboratory and diagnostic tests (differential diagnosis), treatment, possible outcome, and complications of the disease process. You should use the notes section to add more depth to the presentation. These should not be more than 25-30 slides not including references and rubric.

You must also develop two questions that your classmates will respond to. The PPT should be posted by day three of Workshop Eight. You must also respond to four of your classmates questions by the end of the workshop.

See the grading criteria located below for guidelines for assessment of this project.

Upon successful completion of this assignment you should be able to:

• Discuss the basic pathophysiology of a specific disease process
• Explain the presentation and diagnostics related to this diagnosis
• Develop a treatment plan to address the disease process

Instructions
