NRS 428 Functional Health Patterns Community Assessment PPT

This consists of a PP of about 20 slides including speakers notes and about 125 words of content on each slide. This project also includes a set of interview questions that need to be written. They will include questions and answers to questions totaling about 500 words including questions and responses.

There will be a facility that this project will be done on and I will provide that facility so you could tailor the project with that in mind. I have included examples for the interview questions and all sources and documents required. You can also use your own sources. All items have a rubric and should be APA format. I have set this to 3000 words that should be what the total word count of everything should end up at. I will upload the other items and provide the details once the tutor is chosen. Thanks.

I have included the facility and the person the mock interview is being conducted on please follow the rubric and information I have provided and please let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

Resources

The RN to BSN program at Grand Canyon University meets the requirements for clinical competencies as defined by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), using nontraditional experiences for practicing nurses.

These experiences come in the form of direct and indirect care experiences in which licensed nursing students engage in learning within the context of their hospital organization, specific care discipline, and local communities.

This assignment consists of both an interview and a PowerPoint (PPT) presentation.

Assessment/Interview

Select a community of interest in your region. Perform a physical assessment of the community.

  • Perform a direct assessment of a community of interest using the “Functional

Health Patterns Community Assessment Guide.”

  • Interview a community health and public health provider regarding that person’s role and experiences within the community.

Interview Guidelines

Interviews can take place in-person, by phone, or by Skype.

Develop interview questions to gather information about the role of the provider in the community and the health issues faced by the chosen community.

Complete the “Provider Interview Acknowledgement Form” prior to conducting the interview. Submit this document separately in its respective drop box.

Compile key findings from the interview, including the interview questions used, and submit these with the presentation.

PowerPoint Presentation

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 15-20 slides (slide count does not include title and references slide) describing the chosen community interest.

Include the following in your presentation:

  • Description of community and community boundaries: the people and the geographic, geopolitical, financial, educational level; ethnic and phenomenological features of the community, as well as types of social interactions; common goals and interests; and barriers, and challenges, including any identified social determinants of health.
