Discuss the individual and/or community needs as it relates to the reason for your capstone research inquiry. Why do you believe your research inquiry/findings will address the identified needs that prompted your inquiry?
Expectations
Initial Post:
Identify at least 3 key concepts from the selected part of the textbook and provide clear and correct explanations. Writing shows a clear logical link between those concepts. Synthesize information from multiple sources (lectures, readings, activities) and derive a conclusion in your own words. The terminology used is clearly defined. Notes: – The reflection should be 500-600 words. – A part of points will be taken off for each criterion that was not met. – A late submission will be subjected to a point reduction each day after the deadline until it runs down to zero.

At least one full page with proper APA formatting
State 3–4 objectives for the presentation that are targeted, clear, use appropriate verbs from Bloom’s taxonomy, and address what the audience will know or be able to do after viewing.
During week three, you will study risk reduction in population health and community assessment. You will complete course activities related to the process of completing a community assessment. A community assessment helps the nurse to:
· Identify the needs of a community,
· Clarify and prioritize problems, and
· Know what community strengths and resources are available to help solve those problems • Promote entry-level competencies in practicing public health nursing at the systems and community levels of nursing practice
· Health Promotion
· Risk Reduction
· Community Assessment
By the end of this week, students will:
· Analyze the importance of risk reduction in population health.
· Examine the process and purpose of a community assessment.
· Identify the key components in a community assessment.
· During this course, complete and document a community assessment.
1. Read Nies and McEwen, Chapters 4 & 6 (including Table 6.2 – Community Assessment Parameters
2. Refer to Nies & McEwen PowerPoints in module
3. Read article: Caring in the Margins
4. Read 1939 Public Health article
5. Depending on your chosen community, you may do a walking or windshield survey that you will use as part of your data in your community assessment. There is a video example of a Windshield Survey. This is valuable data to include in your Community Assessment! Please note: Do not drive while completing the survey–have another driver when doing the windshield survey or you may also do it on foot, if able.
6. Review: Mustang Library NURS 400 Data Guide:

1. Synthesis and Application #2 initial posting due on 9/11/23 at 11:59 pm and
two replies to peers due on 9/17/23 by 11:59 pm (discussion is not self-graded) – Caring in the Margins
Discussion Topic
Task: Reply to this topic
Please read the article – Caring in the Margins by Enestvedt et al. (2018). The article discusses essential skills in transcultural nursing around issues of equity and social justice. Consider 'aha' takeaways while/after you read the article. The synthesis and application post focuses on getting you to think a bit deeper on this topic, specific to your own profession and public health nursing. There are three questions for you to answer:
1. Consider your own profession. What do you see as opportunities for adopting pieces of what you read in this article within your current professions and/in public health nursing?
2. Consider your own profession. Are there pieces of what you read in this article that you are struggling with and/or feel are not a fit regarding your profession and/or in public health nursing?
3. What is something you want to know more about, as it relates to this article?
If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?
Please take a look at the attachments.
Respond to two of your colleagues’ posts by offering additional ideas regarding academic achievements to include or offering alternative ways of presenting the current achievements.

To Prepare:
Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences, social determinants of health, and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples and at least 3 references. Then, explain how including patient preferences, social determinants of health, and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life.
