  • Describe a critical health care issue within a specific community.
  • Write content clearly and logically with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and mechanics.

Requirements

Format this assessment as a professional report. It may help to look at reports or other documents used within your organization and to follow that formatting. You must still follow APA guidelines for in-text citations and references, and include a title page and reference page.

Within the report:

• Describe one critical health issue in your community or state that has grown larger or has the potential to become larger. Be sure to include any statistics available on the health issue. Tip: check your county and/or state health department Web site.
• Explain the factors that contribute to this health issue. Consider things such as access to health care services, economics, culture, attitude, education, health care policies, and so on.
• Describe any interventions your community or state has put in place to address the health care issue. Include information on how long the interventions have been in place, how the community was made aware of the interventions, and so on.
• Describe the scope and role of nursing and public health nursing in the interventions to reduce the health issue.
• Recommend evidence-based ways the scope of the interventions could be expanded to increase positive health outcomes. Think in terms of cost, efficiency and access, effectiveness, and the use of both conventional and unconventional interventions.

Additional Requirements

Complete your assessment using the following specifications:

• Title page and reference page.
• Number of pages: 3–4 (not  including the title and reference pages).
• At least 3 current scholarly or professional resources.
• APA format for citations and references.
• Times New Roman font, 12-point, double-spaced.

Review the Topic Materials and the work completed in NRS-433V to formulate a PICOT statement for your capstone project.

A PICOT starts with a designated patient population in a particular clinical area and identifies clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care. The intervention should be an independent, specified nursing change intervention. The intervention cannot require a provider prescription. Include a comparison to a patient population not currently receiving the intervention, and specify the timeframe needed to implement the change process.

Formulate a PICOT statement using the PICOT format provided in the assigned readings. The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project.

In a paper of 500-750 words, clearly identify the clinical problem and how it can result in a positive patient outcome.

Make sure to address the following on the PICOT statement:

1. Evidence-Based Solution
2. Nursing Intervention
3. Patient Care
4. Health Care Agency
5. Nursing Practice

Part 1: Scripting Dialogues Table

Using the “Birthday Soup” excerpt, create teacher-student dialogues specific to using single-letter and consonant digraphs, short vowel and long vowel sounds,  and appropriate use of word building and world building-spelling. Review the examples in your text as a guide. 

Part 2: Rationale

In a 250-500 rationale, summarize how each dialogue is effective and developmentally appropriate for teaching phonics, word recognition, and spelling. Be sure to explain how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

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