DQ1    250 WORDS CITATION AND REFERENCES

Submit a summary of six of your articles on the discussion board. Discuss one strength and one weakness for each of these six articles on why the article may or may not provide sufficient evidence for your practice change.

DQ2.   250 WORDS CITATION AND REFERENCES

Name two different methods for evaluating evidence. Compare and contrast these two methods.

 

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:

1. Values/Health Perception
2. Nutrition
3. Sleep/Rest
4. Elimination
5. Activity/Exercise
6. Cognitive
7. Sensory-Perception
8. Self-Perception
9. Role Relationship
10. Sexuality
11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
2. Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
3. Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
4. Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite. Refer to the LopesWrite Technical Support articles for assistance. 

I need these answered in about 150 words each  

1. It is pretty much expected that a lot of information related to quality improvement or patient safety is embedded in the EHR. It is also important to remember that in the completion of your DPI project, HIPAA rules are adhered to. Can you share a little more specifically if you will access the patient’s chart in the EHR, what information you will collect in the EHR if you will access and what ethical considerations are in place to ensure you stay within regulations?

2. You make a good point that an intervention over an 8-week period might be more effective than one over a 4 week period as well as the discussion of Internet based technology interventions. For your project looking at the nurse led education intervention, how are you specifically going to use technology? Will you do these education interventions via an Internet based technology like zoom? what if a patient does not have Internet access? will you exclude those patients? One would argue that the folks who may not have Internet access are ones experiencing socio-economic difficulties which place them at an increased risk of health complications and so would be the ones needing your intervention the most. There have been many systematic reviews looking social determinants of health and their impact on health outcomes including glycemic control in type 2 diabetics and there is a clear correlation there ( Walker et al, 2014)

3. What technology will you use to gather your data and analyze it? What statistical tests will you run if any? What specific data analysis will complete once you have your data? For example, will only look at descriptive data? what specific descriptive data? will you do a t test?…using what software? If you are unsure, this might be a good time to revisit your statistics material or reach out to a statistician to review
