REQUIRED COMPONENTS for Assignment #2: Introduction to Target Community & Program Intervention Sample and Program    

The assignment should be typed out on a word document in APA format. Each paragraph should consist of 5-6 complete sentences. The assignment should consist of 1,500- to 2,500-words (excluding references and title pages). This assignment must be completed and submitted on a Microsoft word document.

 APA format is required. 12 font size should be used, font names that should be used are Times New Roman or Cambria (not both), normal margins (no more than 1 inch), double spaced, indentation, etc. Please include the title page that consists of your name (First and Last), Panther ID number and title of the article (APA format).In addition, include a reference page that consists of three (3) references from creditable resources.

1. Description of Target Community. Describe, succinctly, the “community” that you perceive can be targeted to meet the selected HP 2020 Objective.  Community means the target population that is within your reach and that is at risk for not meeting this HP 2020 objective.

Describe the following:

• Stated target objective from HP 2020 (Same as assignment #1 targeted objective).Review Healthy People 2020 documents and the objectives from 2020 Topics and Objectives (Objectives A–Z) Link:  https://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topics-objectives (Links to an external site.).
• Description of your “community” at the city or county or municipality level; in other words, “who are these people?” in terms of demographics; you can typically find this demographic data from census databases or other national or local databases or information that is within the public domain.  
• You must include important epidemiological “person, place and time” information about your target community.  This includes the target population size and target population demographics.  Include local incidence and prevalence rates of health outcomes that are directly related to your chosen Healthy People 2020 health behavior.

*With regards to the “community”, I strongly recommend you target a relatively narrow segment or community.  For example, it would be advisable to choose to target the issue of underage drinking and subsequent car crashes in a target community within your county, city, town or local school district versus addressing this issue by choosing a chosen target community of your entire state. 

2.  Description of Your Health Promotion Program and Sample Size

(a) Provide detailed and specific information about your chosen “Building Your Own Health Promotion Program” intervention sample group in whom you plan on being your program participants in your eventually implemented “Building a Health Promotion Program Project”. This program intervention sample should be taken from within your chosen target community. You MUST provide a SPECIFIC INTERVENTION SAMPLE SIZE AND A SPECIFIC SAMPLE INTERVENTION LOCATION AND A SPECIFIC SAMPLE INTERVENTION START DATE AND COMPLETION DATE.  This will specify when the program’s intervention sample subjects will begin the program and begin to have activities administered to them.  This will also describe the completion date of the program.   You will eventually have specific health promotion program educational activities and components that you will develop and administer during the implementation period of your program.  If you decide to implement your program in a school or worksite or hospital or community center or place of worship or clinic within your target community then you must obtain try to obtain important descriptive statistical information and demographic information about your sample from the site manager or overseer.  For example, if you decide to implement an obesity prevention program that targets first and second graders in your city because the city or county or state statistics reveal high child obesity prevalence rates in this area, then you may choose to implement your program at a local elementary school.  Your intervention sample would be first and second grade classes in this particular elementary school.  You will seek to gather basic information about the number of first and second graders in your chosen school and also seek to gather basic demographic data about the school population if at all possible.  Try to choose an intervention sample in which you will be able to research and find and report on all of this important demographic data.  This data will be important for your “stakeholders” as well as for your program planning.

3. Proposed Program. Conclude this proposal with a brief discussion of your idea for a health promotion program plan to meet your HP 2020/2010 objective, health behavior and associated health indicator (assuming the results of your needs assessment indicate a need).  Please use three (3) sources of research supporting this type of program

1. Read and follow the directions on pages 119 and 120.
2. Conduct an interview with an older family member.
3. Summarize your findings regarding familial and social changes, and your ethnocultural and religious heritage. (Include one example)
4. Your paper should be:
   • One (1) page
   • Typed according to APA style for margins, formating and spacing standards 

This is a Collaborative Learning Community (CLC) assignment. 

The purpose of this assignment is to assess leadership styles, traits, and practices as a nursing professional, establish the importance of effective interprofessional communication as a leader in nursing, and to explore the role of servant leadership in nursing practice.

Read the study materials on leadership and complete the topic quiz activities to better understand your leadership qualities.

Upon completion, summarize and share with your group what you learned about your specific leadership qualities, so you can become familiar with how you are similar and different from your peers when it comes to being a leader.

As a group, review the study materials related to servant leadership. Using what you have learned about the tenets of servant leadership and traits and practices of successful leaders, create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. Add an additional slide for references at the end of your presentation.  

Include the following in your presentation:

1. Each group member: Create a slide that summarizes your leadership style, traits, and practices.
2. Compare the personal leadership styles of your group members, including commonalities between group members’ strengths and weaknesses.
3. Explain why it is important for nursing professionals to be aware of their personal leadership style, traits, and practices.
4. Discuss what leadership traits and styles are necessary to be an effective communicator. Explain the importance of leaders adapting communication approaches when working interprofessionally (across ancillary departments, vendors, community members).
5. Discuss how nursing professionals can benefit from integrating the tenets of servant leadership to empower and influence others as they lead.
6. Discuss how leaders who practice servant leadership and have a strong understanding of their personal leadership traits can successfully lead others and navigate the unique challenges that are part of nursing and health care. Provide two examples that illustrate your main ideas.

You are required to cite to a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and relevant to nursing practice. 

Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style. 

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. 

Blueprints are used by others besides architects. New home buyers may use the blueprint of their future home to better understand the architect’s vision and to consult with the architect on changes. Municipalities will use the blueprint to issue building permits. Builders will use it to plan construction and estimate costs.

Likewise, you don’t have to be a database designer to apply visual tools such as database diagrams. For example, creating or studying a database diagram can help you, as a leader in a healthcare organization, understand the data needs of the organization or of your team.

This is in turn can create efficiencies and drive improvements at varied levels of patient care. As a nurse, database diagrams can help you analyze the data structure and how to make best use of the available data and functionality in the provision of care. At every level of an organization, an understanding of database diagrams can help in providing feedback to database managers that in turn can help drive improvements.

In your Module 2 Assignment, you create a database diagram for the database that you proposed in the Week 3 Discussion and built upon in the Week 4 Discussion. You also create a PICOT question to be used to search your proposed database. Finally, you develop an analysis of your database design, explaining the proposed structure and design elements while justifying your approach.

To prepare:

• Review the Learning Resources.
• Review your posts from the Weeks 3 and 4 Discussions and the scenario on which they are based.
• Consider a clinical research question you might ask that could be informed by the data in your database.
• Restate your clinical question as a PICOT question.

Assignment (2- to 3-page paper and a diagram of a database as an appendix):

Using the scenario from Week 3, create a diagram of your proposed database using Microsoft Word.

• Include the additions made in Week 4.
• Complete the diagram first, but place it as the final page or pages of your submission. The diagram is separate from the required page count.

In the narrative portion of the assignment:

• Explain how your diagram articulates your planned design.
• Explain the principles behind selecting key fields and defining relationships. Be specific and support your response with evidence.
• Write a sample PICOT question (i.e., a query) you might ask based on the information in the database created during Weeks 3 and 4 to demonstrate your understanding of the connection between data and research.
• List the tables in the database that you would need to include when answering your question.

 This assignment will incorporate a common practical tool in helping clinicians begin to ethically analyze a case. Organizing the data in this way will help you apply the four principles and four boxes approach.

Based on the “Case Study: Healing and Autonomy” and other required topic study materials, you will complete the “Applying the Four Principles: Case Study” document that includes the following:

Part 1: Chart

This chart will formalize the four principles and four boxes approach and the four-boxes approach by organizing the data from the case study according to the relevant principles of biomedical ethics: autonomy, beneficence, non maleficence, and justice.

Part 2: Evaluation

This part includes questions, to be answered in a total of 500 words, that describe how principalism would be applied according to the Christian worldview.

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
