When seeking to identify a patient’s health condition, advanced practice nurses can use a diverse selection of diagnostic tests and assessment tools; however, different factors affect the validity and reliability of the results produced by these tests or tools. Nurses must be aware of these factors in order to select the most appropriate test or tool and to accurately interpret the results.

Not only do these diagnostic tests affect adults, body measurements can provide a general picture of whether a child is receiving adequate nutrition or is at risk for health issues. These data, however, are just one aspect to be considered. Lifestyle, family history, and culture—among other factors—are also relevant. That said, gathering and communicating this information can be a delicate process.

For this Assignment, you will consider the validity and reliability of different assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You will explore issues such as sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values. You will also consider examples of children with various weight issues. You will explore how you could effectively gather information and encourage parents and caregivers to be proactive about their children’s health and weight.

To Prepare

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider factors that impact the validity and reliability of various assessment tools and diagnostic tests. You also will review examples of pediatric patients and their families as it relates to BMI.
• By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to one of the following Assignment options by your Instructor: Adult Assessment Tools or Diagnostic Tests (option 1), or Child Health Case (Option 2). Note: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignments from your Instructor.
• Search the Walden Library and credible sources for resources explaining the tool or test you were assigned. What is its purpose, how is it conducted, and what information does it gather?
• Also, as you search the Walden library and credible sources, consider what the literature discusses regarding the validity, reliability, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, ethical dilemmas, and controversies related to the test or tool.
• If you are assigned Assignment Option 2 (Child), consider what health issues and risks may be relevant to the child in the health example.
  • Based on the risks you identified, consider what further information you would need to gain a full understanding of the child’s health. Think about how you could gather this information in a sensitive fashion.
  • Consider how you could encourage parents or caregivers to be proactive toward the child’s health.

Social Media in Population Health

Social media is increasingly being used as a population health intervention, providing an inexpensive way to provide health information. Most social media sites require succinct information. Select a top practice problem to address the following.

• Identify the selected practice problem. (Substance abuse.)
• Describe an evidence-based intervention to address the practice problem.
• Create an informational population health “Tweet” as part of a social marketing intervention. This “Tweet” should be no more than 280 characters to promote awareness of the health problem and intervention. Your “Tweet” should be current, captivating, and applicable for the population at risk.
• Identify one measurable outcome to the “Tweet”.

 Topic 1 DQ 2

A geopolitical place consists of community boundaries, transportation infrastructure, geographic features, climate, vegetation, wildlife, homes, and facilities. These are all environmental factors of a particular geographic location that influence the quantity and quality of life for a given population. Constructed geopolitical boundaries are legal or political boundaries that include ZIP codes, census tracts, voting districts, suburbs, and school districts. Man-made structural boundaries include streets, bridges, airports, and transportation routes (Grand Canyon University, 2018).

Phenomenological place is a location that centers on history, culture, economics, education, spiritual belief, values, and common characteristics. These are relational or psychological locations where members of the community experience a belonging. Examples include a veterans group, church organizations, and volunteer groups (Grand Canyon University, 2018).

A community assessment involves researching the safety and quality aspects of a community to understand how the population, environment, and resources interact with one another. Subjective and objective information is gathered, using primary and secondary sources of data, to conduct a community assessment. The data and observations gathered focus on the physical, psychological, sociological, economic, spiritual, and lifestyles of the select population and reveals the general health status, problems, or barriers to allow the public health nurse to prioritize needs. The assessment process includes surveillance, screening, and investigation. Based on the findings, interventions can be put into place, such as referrals to help individuals and families gain access to necessary resources (Grand Canyon University, 2018).

Just 200-300 words APA format with reference supporting the discussion.

 Discuss how geopolitical and phenomenological place influence the context of a population or community assessment and intervention. Describe how the nursing process is utilized to assist in identifying health issues (local or global in nature) and in creating an appropriate intervention, including screenings and referrals, for the community or population. 

 Select a research article, other than the articles from your assignments, from the GCU library. Provide an overview of the study and describe the strategy that was used to select the sample from the population. Evaluate the effectiveness of the sampling method selected. Provide support for your answer. Include the article title and permalink in your post.
