Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an educator. You are to prepare a patient scenario based on the 
required assigned topic (Diabetes). You will choose 
an already-developed and reliable mHealth app to educate your patient.

Preparing the Assignment

Select ONE of the 
Health Conditions or 
Health Behaviors for the focus of your assignment through the Healthy People 2030 link below:

https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectivesLinks to an external site.

Note:  It is crucial to choose your Health Condition or Health Behavior first, then develop a short but detailed patient scenario (See the video tutorial, assignment directions, and rubric for details about the scenario.) Then, explore a mobile health app (mHealth app) that fits the patient and the topic.

Requirements and Guidelines

·
Write your own patient scenario using the 
Required Assignment Topic.

· Make sure to include a 
Healthy People 2030 Health Condition or 
Health Behavior in the scenario for a patient who desires to maintain or achieve good health and prevent illness and who could benefit from 
an already developed and reliable mHealth app from the internet.

· Choose a 
scholarly peer-reviewed journal article published within the last 5 years and related to your scenario's health condition or health behavior. This required article citation MUST appear in the 
Patient Scenario section of the paper and support your chosen health topic. You may use other citations/references in your paper; however, these would be optional. The Chamberlain Library is your best place to obtain this article. Cite this in APA 7th edition format in this section of the assignment.

·
Describe in detail the plan for teaching this patient in the scenario.

· Include the nurse's assessment of learning needs and readiness to learn.

·
Identify a mHealth app that could benefit the patient, considering the teaching/learning needs you identified.

· Tips for your internet search for an appropriate mHealth app:

· The iPhone App Store and Google Marketplace let you search for apps based on keywords such as “health” or more specific topics such as “weight loss,” “stress,” and “diabetes.” Look through the descriptions of apps that come up in your results. Does the app address the health concern you have identified? Does it do what you’re looking for with this specific patient? For example, if you’re interested in having your patient track their sleep habits, does the app do this? Please reach out to your instructor if you have questions about a particular mHealth app for this assignment.

· Describe the app, including the mHealth app name, purpose, intended audience, mobile device(s) upon which it will operate, and where to download or obtain it. Add any other information you believe would be pertinent to this situation.

· Include a working link if it is to be downloaded from a website in the area indicated on the template.   

· Make sure to add a citation for this mHealth app in APA format.  The directions and examples of how to cite a mobile app are located on page 340 of the APA Manual, 7th edition.

List your 2 references.  One will be the mHealth app reference, and the other will be your scholarly article reference.

Develop a 4-6 page holistic intervention plan design to improve the quality of outcomes for your target population and setting.TOPIC: combating and preventing veterans homelessness

ntroduction

Note: Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

Your application of the PICOT approach to developing your problem statement and the research that you conducted and synthesized in your literature review are the foundation and framework that you will need to successfully build your intervention plan. This plan will lay out specific components of the intervention you are planning to address the need you have identified for the target population and setting. You will justify your approach to the intervention plan by integrating appropriate theoretical foundations. You will also analyze and address the needs of stakeholders, requirements of regulatory bodies, and ethical and legal considerations. It is important to have a sound intervention plan design in place before trying to work on the details of implementation and evaluation.

Preparations

• Read Guiding Questions: Intervention Plan Design [DOC]. This document is designed to give you questions to consider and additional guidance to help you successfully complete this assessment.
• As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
  • What theoretical nursing models, strategies from other disciplines, and health care technologies could help support or justify your approach to the intervention plan?
  • What evidence from the literature or best practice supports the intervention plan components you identified?
  • What, if any, potential is there for technology to help in the development or implementation of the intervention plan components?
  • What is the impact of stakeholders, health care policy, or regulations?
  • Are there any ethical or legal considerations related to the development or implementation of the intervention plan components that need to be kept in mind? If so, what are they?

Instructions

Note: The assessments in this course are sequenced in such a way as to help you build specific skills that you will use throughout your program. Complete the assessments in the order in which they are presented.

You intervention plan design will be the second section of your final project submission. The goal for this is to design a holistic plan that should be able to improve the quality of outcomes for your target population and setting. Provide enough detail so that the faculty member assessing your intervention plan design will be able to provide substantive feedback that you will be able to incorporate into the other project components in this course, as well as into the final draft of your project.

At minimum, be sure to address the bullet points below, as they correspond to the grading criteria. You may also want to read the scoring guide and Guiding Questions: Intervention Plan Design document (linked above) to better understand how each criterion will be assessed. In addition to the bullet points below, provide a brief introduction that refreshes the reader’s memory about your problem statement and the setting and context for this intervention plan.

Reminder: these instructions are an outline. Your heading for this this section should be Intervention Plan Components and not Part 1: Intervention Plan Components.

Part 1: Intervention Plan Components

• Define the major components of an intervention plan for a health promotion, quality improvement, prevention, education, or management need.
• Explain the impact of cultural needs and characteristics of a target population and setting on the development of intervention plan components.

Part 2: Theoretical Foundations

• Evaluate theoretical nursing models, strategies from other disciplines, and health care technologies relevant to an intervention plan.
• Justify the major components of an intervention by referencing relevant and contemporary evidence from the literature and best practices.

Part 3: Stakeholders, Policy, and Regulations

• Analyze the impact of stakeholder needs, health care policy, regulations, and governing bodies relevant to health care practice and specific components of an intervention plan.

Part 4: Ethical and Legal Implications

• Analyze relevant ethical and legal issues related to health care practice, organizational change, and specific components of an intervention plan.

Address Generally Throughout

• Communicate intervention plan in a professional way that helps the audience to understand the proposed intervention.

Discussion

Required Resources

Read/review the following resources for this activity:

· Textbook: Chapter 5, 6

· Lesson: Read this Week's Lesson which is located in the Modules tab

· Initial Post: minimum of 2 scholarly sources (must include your textbook for one of the sources). Follow-Up Post: minimum of 1 scholarly source for your Follow-Up Post.

· Your Initial Post and your Follow-Up Post must be based on the same Option that you chose in order to receive credit for both posts. 

Initial Post Instructions

For the initial post, respond to one of the following options, and label the beginning of your post indicating either Option 1 or Option 2:

Option 1: The framers of the Constitution were concerned that everyday citizens would not be able to understand or comprehend the makings of our government. They felt that everyday citizens were uninformed and did not care what was going on in our government. Even today we see where citizens are interested in government affairs seemingly only if our country is in turmoil such as unemployment, recessions, civil unrest, etc. Do you agree with this assessment? Are we uninformed? Do we wait till a crisis happens to voice our opinions?

Option 2: Many experts see the media as biased and more like infotainment. In fact, many people have turned to social networks as an outlet for news instead of CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN and other news stations. Do you see this as an issue? Do you see the news as biased or unbiased? Should there be more restrictions on the news stations?

Be sure to make connections between your ideas and conclusions and the research, concepts, terms, and theory we are discussing this week.

Writing Requirements

· Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source) for your Initial Post, and 1 scholarly source for your Follow-Up Post.

· APA format for in-text citations and list of references

Course Outcome

 

This week we are focusing on three course objectives: 1) applying basic political theory and ideologies to government systems, 2) explaining the primary forces that influence individuals' political ideas, values and beliefs, and  3) analyzing the role public policy plays in our daily lives.

Our U.S. Constitution was created in the summer of 1787 and went into affect after its ratification in 1789. How successful has the U.S. been at creating a stable democracy?  Garry Kasparov, Russian chess master and political activist, suggests that “It is the existence of democratic institutions that enable different people to express their points of view within a legal framework that sets the boundaries of the political process” (Gessen, 2018, para. 5). Do you agree?  Have we been able to create and maintain such a situation in the U.S.?
