Healthy People 2020 (graded)
The federal government developed Healthy People as a set of national health objectives that are periodically evaluated to measure progress in the nation’s health goals
and healthcare services. HP 2020 has a renewed focus on identifying, measuring, tracking, and reducing health disparities through a determinants-of-health approach.
This week, please briefly discuss a Healthy People 2020 objective under the topic area of your choice. Go to www.healthypeople.gov and select any one of the objectives
under the topic area of your interest. Using the local, national, or international news, describe actions you, as a community health nurse, could take in formulating policy
changes to help promote the objective you have selected. Cite references to support your views.
Please note:
There is a helpful “Introduction to Healthy People 2020 website” document in Doc Sharing to aid you in navigating the HP 2020 website.
Our textbook,Community/Public health nursing: Promoting the health of populations (5th ed.) was published prior to the final version of Healthy People 2020, resulting in
some of the book content differing from the Healthy People 2020 website.
Determinants of Health (graded)
Healthy People 2020 identified four Foundation Health Measures (FHM) that reflect the major health concerns in the United States. The third FHM determinants of
Health. The description of Determinants of Health is:
“A range of personal, social, economic, and environmental factors that influence health status are known as determinants of health. Determinants of health include such
things as biology, genetics, individual behavior, access to health services, and the environment in which people are born, live, learn, play, work, and age” (U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, n.d., About Determinants of Health section, para. 1).
Go to the “Learn More About Determinants of Health” (http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/DOHAbout.aspx
(http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/about/DOHAbout.aspx) ) and choose one of the five Determinants of Health that you feel is most important for community health. In
your posting, share the determinant of health and the rationale for your choice. Remember to cite any references used for developing your rationale.
Please note:
There is a helpful “Orientation to Healthy People 2020” document in Doc Sharing.

WEEK 2
Census Data and Epidemiological Data (graded)
Go online to the U.S. Census Bureau atwww.census.gov (http://www.census.gov/). Obtain information about the demographic characteristics of the population for your
county of residence. Once you are on the website, choose the link to “QuickFacts”, and from there you can choose state, county, and city data. You may have to look at
county data if your city is not listed. There is also a tab where you can see U.S. comparable data, too.
Include information about age, income, housing, and education. Post a brief summary of the key demographic characteristics of the population in your county (do not
copy and paste directly from the website) and apply these data to your community by answering the following questions:
How do the data from your county compare to the sets of data from the other counties posted by other students in your discussion group?
Based on the demographic data, what health needs might you anticipate for the population in your county?
Please note:
There is a helpful tip sheet located in Doc Sharing that will assist you in using this website. Remember that this data will help you get started on your assignment, Caring
for Populations: Assessment and Diagnosis.
Communicable Diseases (graded)
Review the levels of prevention of communicable diseases discussed in Chapter 25 (Nies & McEwen, 2011). Choose a communicable disease objective listed within
theHealthy People 2020 topic area (p. 492). Discuss a role (function) that you, as a CHN, could play in implementing the objective. What community health nursing
intervention would you implement? Describe at least two levels of prevention you could address and how you can address them.
WEEK 3
Collaborating With the Community (graded)
Identify a community or aggregate you are currently involved with at home (personal life) or at work. Cite some major value, major strengths, and health needs of your
community or aggregate. How could a nurse work collaboratively with a community to build on these strengths and facilitate community empowerment? Keep in mind the
different methods of community outreach the nurse could utilize.
Please note: According to Nies and McEwan (2011), the definition of an aggregate is a “community composed of people who share common characteristics” (p.92).
Remember, aggregates do not necessarily know or interact with one another, but share a common bond such as religious belief, age, life experience, illness, etc.
Reference:
Nies, M. A., & McEwen, M. (2011).Community/Public health nursing: Promoting the health of populations (5th ed.). St. Louis, MO: Saunders/Elsevier.
Resources (graded)
Assurance is one of the three core functions of public health. Knowing what resources are available is part of this function. Find a resource in your community that could
be used as a referral source and share information about the services provided. Who is eligible for the services? What could be done in order to improve the accessibility,
acceptability, affordability, or availability of this resource in your community? Make sure to address all four of the A’s in your posting.

Concerns for the School Nurse (graded)
As the school nurse role continues to evolve, there are increasingly more health concerns for the school nurse. Does the locale make a difference in the problems, or are
health problems in children and adolescents universal? In some inner-city areas, poor nutrition is a prevalent issue. What do you think are the biggest problems in your
areas?
Nurse’s Role in Community Health Settings (graded)
When caring for populations in community settings, the nurse has many different roles, such as advocate, case manager, educator, researcher, administrator, and so on.
Choose one of the community healthcare settings from your textbook or lessons and discuss how one of these roles might be carried out by the community health nurse
in the setting you chose.
WEEK 5
Vulnerable Populations (graded)
As nurses, we all know what we should do to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but often knowledge does not translate into actual behavior. Vulnerable populations may face
additional individual and/or societal barriers to being healthy. What are those barriers? What can nurses do to overcome some of the barriers that you identified?
Priority Setting When Working With Vulnerable Populations (graded)
This week, we have discussed many different vulnerable populations. Choose a vulnerable population and discuss what you think the top three priorities are for a CHN
working with them. Cite at least one scholarly reference that supports your decision.
WEEK 6
Environmental Pollutants (graded)
Visit the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Envirofacts website athttp://www.epa.gov/enviro/ (http://www.epa.gov/enviro/) . Enter your city, zip code, or location.
Explore the site to learn more about your environment and things that might be impacting the health of its citizens. Identify something new you learned about your
environment and how it could be affecting health by completing this statement, “I didn’t know ____.” How could you, in the role of a community health nurse, address
these concerns?
Please note: Look in Doc Sharing under Threaded Discussion Information for the Envirofacts Guide to learn how to navigate this website.
Disaster Preparedness (graded)
Visit the websitehttp://www.ready.gov (http://www.ready.gov/) . Review the steps for being prepared for a disaster. As a community health nurse, what elements do you
think are important to stress to the community? How is your community preparing for a potential disaster, or how has it prepared?
WEEK 7
How Do You Define Health? (graded)
Think about how you define health. Do you think your definition is universal, or is it specific to your culture and/or beliefs? How might another culture’s definition differ?

Course Outcomes
Scenario
You are a Community/Public Health Nurse (C/PHN) working in your setting of choice. You have identified a community health problem and have analyzed the data
collected from your windshield survey and assessment & diagnosis assignments (the first two milestones). You have decided on one nursing intervention and need your
organization’s approval for funding of this intervention. Your leadership team has agreed to listen to your proposal.
Directions
· Choose a community health nurse setting. Some examples of settings are school nurse, parish nurse, home health nurse, nurse working in the health department (be
specific to what area in the health department, e.g., WIC, STD clinic, health promotion, maternal-child health, etc.)
· Introduction: Introduce the identified problem, the purpose of the presentation, and reiterate at least one or two important findings that demonstrate this problem in your

· Proposed Intervention: Propose one community health nursingintervention that would address one or more of the major direct or indirect factors that contribute to the
problem. Keep in mind the Public Health Intervention Wheel (Nies & McEwen, p. 14, figure 1-3) as your framework (average of 3-4 slides). Your intervention needs to be
specific:
o Who is your target population?
o Where is this intervention taking place?
o Will it take place one time or multiple times?
o How will you reach out to your target population?
§ How will you get your target population involved?
o What is the CH Nurses role in this intervention?
o Will you collaborate with anyone (e.g., physician’s office, church, local resources, etc.?)
o Is anyone else involved besides yourself (C/PHN)?
§ If yes, are they paid or volunteers?
o What level(s) of prevention is your intervention addressing (primary, secondary and/or tertiary prevention)?
· Intervention Justification: Justify why the problem and your nursing interventions should be a priority.
o Based on what you have found in the literature, discuss why these interventions are expected to be effective. Include summarized information from at least two
professional scholarly sources related to your interventions (average of 2-3 slides).
· Proposed Evaluation: Your presentation must include at least one proposed quantitative or qualitative evaluation method that you would use to determine whether your
intervention is effective. It should include the method you would use along with desired outcomes. Outcome measurement is a crucial piece when implementing
interventions. There is a helpful tool in Doc Sharing to assist you with understanding qualitative and quantitative methods of evaluation. (average of 2-3 slides)
o Include discussion about the long-term and short-term impact on your community if the intervention is successful. Keep in mind your desired outcomes when analyzing
the evaluation.
· Summary: The summary should reiterate the main points of the presentation and conclude with what you are asking to be accomplished, e.g., “Based on ABC, it is
imperative our community has XYZ. Thank you for your consideration.”
· In addition to the slides described above, your presentation should include a title slide, and reference slide. Remember, you are presenting to your leadership team, so
the slides should include the most important elements for them to know in short bullet pointed phrases. You may add additional comments in the notes section to clarify
information for your instructor.
Guidelines
· Application: Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2010.
· Length: The PowerPoint slide show is expected to be no more than 20 slides in length (not including the title slide and reference list slide).
· Submission: Submit your files via the basket in the Dropbox: “Caring for Populations: Intervention and Evaluation” by 11:59 p.m. Sunday of Week 6.
· Save the assignment with your last name in the file title. Example: “Smith Intervention and Evaluation”
· Late Submission: See the course policy on late submissions.
· Tutorial: If needed, Microsoft Office has many templates and tutorials to help you get started.
