Hello, this tutorial will go over your 2nd assignment, Community Settings and Community Health Nursing Roles APA paper. Your 2nd assignment is due at the end of Week 4 by 11:59pm MT. This paper will automatically be submitted to Turnitin. If you have questions about Turnitin, please visit the resources tile that has all of our program resources. I highly encourage you to submit early so that you can review your Turnitin score and modify as needed. It is imperative you use your own words and have no more than one quote in this paper.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the community setting and analyze the role of a nurse in the assigned setting. Health promotion nursing interventions and a professional nursing organization related to this role will also be examined. 

This APA paper is expected to be no more than four pages in length (not including the title page and reference list). Please use the recommended APA Template linked below, which incorporates the following categories as the first-level headings on your paper. APA formatting helps you to organize your paper in a professional manner and provides consistent methods for citing your sources and completing your reference page. See the documents in the APA category in Resources tile for assistance with APA formatting. The Student Success Strategies resource has great sections on writing scholarly papers and APA formatting.

This paper has a topic already chosen, be sure to write only on the topic assigned. It may not be the same topic you are seeing in this tutorial. You will want to read and take notes on the setting and role(s) in your textbook and also find at least one scholarly peer-reviewed journal article that is not assigned in the course related to a nurse’s role in health promotion in this setting. The link to the library is also provided in the guidelines. Search peer-reviewed journals to find a scholarly article on this topic. The article must be less than 10 years old (less than 5 years is best).

The first component of this assignment is a title page including the Running head and page number. Next, you will start this paper with an introduction that will give a brief overview of the assigned community setting. Then, briefly identify CHN role(s) in this setting and identify vulnerable population(s) served in this setting. Be sure to include a purpose statement.

The next section will focus on the community setting, 2-3 paragraphs is sufficient. Start by describing the assigned community setting, including vulnerable population(s) served. Discuss three health services provided a CHN in the assigned setting. Use your textbook or an outside scholarly source to address these sub-points.

The next part of the paper focuses on health promotion nursing intervention. Again, this should be two to three paragraphs. You will want to describe in detail health promotion intervention(s) that a CHN could implement in the assigned community setting. Next, identify people/organizations/community members this CHN role may collaborate with in health promotion interventions. You must utilize at least one peer-reviewed scholarly article related to a health promotion intervention.

The subsequent area of focus will be on a professional nursing organization. Provide a detailed description of a professional nursing organization related to the assigned community setting. Search the text, your article, or the Internet for one professional organization that supports nurses in this role. If you can’t find an organization specific to this group, search the American Nurses Association (ANA) website for information on this role. Cite the organization in the body of the text with (organization name, year), and include a complete reference on the reference page. At the end of this section, discuss one professional issue that this organization is addressing related to the assigned community setting.

Finally, you will conclude with a summary. This summary should be one paragraph. Summarize the important points from the body of your paper including the community setting and CHN role(s), professional organization and the health promotion intervention(s) you discussed. You will want to end the paper with concluding statement that will have an impact on the reader.

After the summary, you will want a formal reference Page: The reference page should start on a new page (insert a page break). All references should be cited within the body of the paper as (author or organization, year), and the full reference should be included in APA format on the reference page. A URL link alone is not an adequate reference. See the Chamberlain Guidelines for Professional Writing in the APA Folder in Resources for examples of properly formatted references.

Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients’ health risks.

For this Discussion, you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for a particular new patient assigned by your Instructor.

To prepare:

With the information presented in Chapter 1 of Ball et al. in mind, consider the following:

· By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion. Note: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your new patient profile assignment.

Case C 38-year-old Native American pregnant female living on a reservation

· How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?

· How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s social determinants of health?

· What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks.

· Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.

· Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient.

· Develop at least five targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history.

By Day of Week 1

1-Post a Summary of the Interview and a Description of the Communicationtechniques you would use with your assigned patient.

“Case C 38-year-old Native American pregnant female living on a reservation”

2-Explain Why you would use these techniques.

3-Identify the risk Assessment Instrumentyou selected and Justify Why it would be applicable to the selected patient.

4-Provide at Least Five targeted questionsyou would ask the patient.

Course Project, Transcultural Assessment Milestone 1: Individual’s Profile (graded, 100 points)

Updated 9/2018

Purpose

The purpose of the Course Project is to give the student the opportunity to apply concepts in transcultural nursing by performing a transcultural nursing assessment.

The purpose of Milestone 1 is to identify an adult who is not a relative who is willing to participate in the transcultural assessment and to secure the instructor’s approval for the assessment. Note: The actual assessment does not occur until Milestone 3. It is not a purpose for this assignment.

Course Outcomes

CO1: Identify theories, concepts, and beliefs related to transcultural nursing. (PO1)

CO2: Communicate effectively with culturally diverse individuals, families, and organizations. (PO3)

CO4: Perform a culturally competent nursing assessment. (PO7)

Points

The entire project is worth 600 points. Milestone 1 is worth 100 points of this total.

Due Dates

You are to submit your completed NR394 Milestone 1 by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT, at the end of Week 3.

Requirements and Guidelines

1. Review the Course Outcomes for this assignment, which are listed above.

2. Review the guidelines for Milestones 1, 2, and 3, paying particular attention to Milestone 1 for this assignment. The guidelines for all of the Milestones are located in Modules on the left-hand navigation menu. Also, read the Course Project Overview page in Introduction & Resources for more details and helpful tips.

3. Identify a potential individual who has been living in a culture other than the one of origin for at least 2 years. This individual must be born outside the United States. The individual can be a patient, friend, or colleague, such as a physician, or acquaintance, but cannot be a relative. The individual must be living in your community and must be currently receiving or have previously received healthcare services in your community. The individual’s race, ethnicity, language, religion, and culturally based beliefs about healthcare and illness should be quite different from yours. The individual must speak your language. An interpreter is not permitted for the actual assessment, which occurs in Milestone 3 (Week 6). 
Note: This is the same individual for whom you will develop verbal assessment questions in Milestone 2 and whom you will ask those questions in Milestone 3 and then reflect on your learning about the Course Project and the assessment.

4. Individuals can come from a variety of settings. Recent immigrants, migrant workers, exchange students, international students, long-term care residents, refugees, coworkers, physicians, patients, employees at local ethnic businesses, religious venues, community centers, and individuals who have recently moved to your community are some suggestions. The individual does not need to be a healthcare worker but must have received healthcare services in the country of origin as well as since arriving in the United States. Work with your instructor prior to submitting Milestone 1. Approval must be provided by your instructor before submitting Milestone 1 (this assignment).

5. Speak with the individual, and obtain permission to conduct an assessment later in the course. Clearly explain that statements made in the assessment will be recorded (written) and submitted to the instructor only. It is not intended for public distribution. Anonymity will be maintained by using first and last initials only. Do not use names in any of your documents.

6. Download the NR394_Individual_Profile_Template (Links to an external site.). Although you are not performing the official assessment until Milestone 3, it will be necessary to obtain some general information about your individual to complete Milestone 1. This information may come from the individual or Internet sources.

7. Fill in information about the potential individual using the template. You are expected to write clearly and use proper grammar and spelling and eliminate typos.

8. Submit the completed template by the end of Week 3 at 11:59 p.m. MT.

Example: KC was born in Hwidiem, Ghana, a small village in Africa, where he did not graduate from high school. He is 72 years old. He immigrated to the United States at age 28 and has lived in Grove City near Columbus, Ohio since then. Hwidiem is considered the provincial capital (fill in information about the community or city as you can find). He was married but divorced after a traumatic brain injury. Since then, he has had many part-time jobs and studies his Bible faithfully. Grove City is a town in Ohio (fill in information about the city or community).
