Read section 32. 4 in Ch. 32 “The Course of Empire: Expansion and Conflict in America” of our textbook. In that section, read the section titled “Louis Sullivan and the Chicago School of Architecture”. This short section will provide you with important historical context as to the reasons this style of architecture was important and popular at the time. Why do I want to include this particular style in my course? Here is a quote from the text that explains its importance: “No architect [Louis Sullivan] would have a greater influence on modern architecture in the twentieth century. He is at once the father of the skyscraper, and, perhaps most important, the teacher of the twentieth century’s most influential architect Frank Lloyd Wright.” We need to understand Sullivan’s importance in order to discuss architecture in the Modernist period. Sullivan’s influence: Many architects, like Frank Lloyd Wright who pioneered the Prairie School of architecture, were influenced by Louis Sullivan before developing their own style. “Of all the architects associated with the Chicago School of Architecture, it was Louis Sullivan who first rose to the challenge of creating a new ‘modern’ aesthetic for high-rise towers. Sullivan’s ‘modern’ structures with their simplified vertical aesthetics paved the way for the next wave of modernist architecture – a late 1920s style heavily influenced by the Bauhaus School in Weimar led by Walter Gropius, which became known as the International Style of modern architecture.” However, some sources say other architects deserve credit: “The development of the Chicago School has long been associated with an inferred master-pupil role of the great triumvirate of American architecture: H. H. Richardson, Louis H. Sullivan, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Although these men had a profound effect on American architecture, they were not individually responsible for the movement called the Chicago School. The impetus of this movement evolves from a variety of sources that were assimilated, reintegrated, and redefined as personal expressions by a great number of individual designers and architectural firms. William Le Baron Jenney comes closest to being the father of the Chicago School. Although he is best known for his technical accomplishments in giving form to the skeleton frame of the skyscraper, he was perhaps most responsible for bringing radical architectural ideas, primarily from France, to Chicago” (Miller). Source: This amazing document from the National Park Service titled “The Chicago School of Architecture” by Hugh C. Miller. Download Miller. Interesting fact: Did you know that Virginia Beach has its very own Frank Lloyd Wright house? It is called the Cooke House, c. 1960, and is located on 51st overlooking Crystal Lake at the North End. It is NOT of the Chicago School but of the Prairie School; however, as you have read, Wright was heavily influenced by Sullivan. Our textbook discusses Wright in depth later on in Ch. 36 and Ch. 38. See the following article: “One of Only Three Frank Lloyd Wright Homes in Virginia…” Links to an external site. Before starting this assignment, read and watch the following items: Read this brief definition: “The Chicago School is also known as the Commercial Style and the American Renaissance Style. In the last quarter of the 19th century, architects and engineers in Chicago developed the steel-frame skyscraper that would become the emblematic building of the 20th century. A commercial Chicago School of Architecture building was taller than its masonry neighbors, usually more than six stories and as tall as twenty stories. Chicago School of Architecture buildings were rectangular with a flat, corniced roof. Because the exterior walls were not load bearing, they had large areas of glass, terra cotta or other ornamental finish. Louis Sullivan was the most influential architect of the Chicago School. His buildings, like a classical column, had a base or several stories, a shaft arranged in vertical bands, and an elaborate cornice of several stories.” Remember, Chicago was not the only city to have buildings in the Chicago School style. You can find them all over the world. Next, view the following YouTube video (Length 1:23): “Understanding the Chicago School of Architecture” Links to an external site. Also watch this video (Length 6:47): “The Amazing History of Chicago School Architecture Links to an external site.” The following link may also be helpful because it discusses more characteristics of the style and provides specific examples: American Architecture Series: Chicago School. Links to an external site. For your task below, note there are specific characteristics that help identify the Chicago School Style of Architecture largely from the late 1800s to early 1900s. They may include: The use of fireproof materials and steel The addition of hydraulic elevators The economic need for a high-rise design The grid design A defined base and structural foundation Repetition of the middle floors A dramatic cornice at the top Wide and horizontal design Windows that do not open in center and/or large arched windows Terra Cotta exterior Designed for maximum light and air flow.

Health Promotions
Part 2: The second part of your paper will include your original ideas (no references needed) for a DREAM environment for your patients. Promoting a DREAM environment for a nurse isnt too much of a stretch, right? Im sure you can think of lots of ways to improve the work environment for yourself and colleagues. However, lets think about the care setting for our patients. We give potatoes to diabetics. We wake up patients all night long to check on them. We have patients stay in bed because we dont want them to fall, eliminating their access to fresh air. What would your dream patient environment look like? Your ideas need to be on-site and not something that is currently in use (e.g., silent night to promote rest cannot be used). Add this section to Part A of your paper that you completed in the previous week.
Here are examples of some ideal health promotion environment papers: ,
Part 3: The third part of this assignment will include a visual representation of your DREAM environment. You dont have to be an artist, but this is your chance to get creative within your comfort level and skill set. Here are some ideas:
-
-
- WordCloud (fun and free within Microsoft Word)
- A small poster using DREAMS idea prompts (take a picture and post)
- A dream or vision board
- Pictures (drawn or cut out) on a poster to prompt your discussion
- A mood board or collage
- A PowerPoint or Google Slides picture
-
- Here are some examples of student’s visual representations from past terms: , , ,
Your visual representation must include all six components of the DREAMS acronym to receive credit. You need to address DREAMS for the nurse and the patient. You will not receive any credit for presenting any type of text-based paper, which is only for Part 1.
This part of the assignment is also due in Module 3. When you submit your visual representation, we will also have an all-class discussion so we can DREAM together!
Format
- Each part of your paper (nurse and patient) will be formatted the same way: In a two-to-three page Word document (not including the title page), write out in paragraph form how you would promote health DREAMS for the nurse (Part 1) and then for the patient (Part 2) using the following acronym:
Diet
Rest
Exercise
Attitude
Mindfulness
Stress reduction - Again, you will address health promotion in the workplace in two parts: Part 1 will be about the nurse, and Part 2 will be about the patient.
- Part 1 is due in Module 2. Parts 2 and 3 (the visual representation) are due in Module 3.
DUE
Parts 2 and 3 of this assignment will be due by Sunday

****NO INTRODUCTION OR CONCLUSION NEEDED****
Joanna McMillan is a 59-year-old, female patient with complaint of joint pain. For several years she has had stiffness in the morning and after she sits for a while, has a slight pain when getting up from sitting, but things have changed. Now she has begun having pain that is affecting her life. Her right hip and left knee are swollen and painful after even short periods of ambulation. She states, This is going to sound weird, but I feel like my right hip joint is loose. Like it just needs tightening up to work right. My left knee sounds like an old set of creaking stairs when I walk, and sometimes it feels like it is stuck. Can you help me?
Myrtle Stine is a 44-year-old, female patient with complaints of joint pain. She started noticing morning stiffness, increased fatigue, bilaterally swollen hand joints, and pain several months ago. It has started to get worse, and she now has hard bumps on 3 of her finger joints. She enjoys a number of crafts, such as crochet, and the issue has caused her to be unable to finish the blanket that she started for her daughter, due to the pain. She rates her pain during the day from 2 to 6/10.
Henry Schmidt is a 37-year-old, male, dock foreman who presents with a complaint of pain in his lower back. This is his third visit this year for the same complaint. He has had imaging that shows no bony issues, misalignments, or other diagnosable problems to which the pain can be attributed. He states that the scheduled ibuprofen, muscle relaxers, topical ointments, ice, and heat are not working. Your check of the Controlled Substances Monitoring Database (CSMD) shows that he has regularly received prescriptions totaling 60 MMEs per day from two different providers outside of your practice. Mr. Schmidt states that his pain ranges from 4 to 8/10 throughout the day.
Helene Michie is a 58-year-old female patient who is healing from a foot fracture sustained 6 weeks ago after tripping over her dog, Pepper. This is her second fracture in the last year, and she remarks that she never had a broken bone in her life until she was nearly finished with menopause symptoms.
Ryan Armstrong is a 40-year-old male patient who arrives with a complaint of bilateral hand pain. Ryan works as a welder in a wood burning stove factory. He completes 100s of welds per day in a very repetitive pattern. He has experienced pain with movement for about 6 months, but it is getting worse. It has begun to impact his precision and production in his job.
The disease processes for week six are as follows:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Chronic Back Pain
- Osteoporosis
- Osteoarthritis
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

Assessment 1 4055
This first assessment is the research and background information for the presentation you will give in your last assessment. Consider this the nursing process for your chosen community (assessment, diagnostics, planning, interventions, and evaluation). The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to plan a learning experience focused on health promotion associated with the specific community health concern you selected from the provided document. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why that establish the foundation for an effective clinical learning experience for the participants. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group participation. The two windshield survey worksheets will be critical steps in completing this assessment. This assessment is the foundation for the implementation of Assessment 4, Health Promotion Plan Presentation.
Complete the following:
- Assess your chosen community to include socioeconomic and demographic data such as location, lifestyle, age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, employment. (Complete the windshield surveys first.)
- Choose a specific health concern or health need from the as the focus of your health promotion plan for your chosen community. Then, analyze a population within your community with the health concern or need you’ve chosen to focus on and the best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence. Consider underlying assumptions and points of uncertainty in your analysis.
- Describe in detail the characteristics of your chosen community who will be the audience for the activity you are planning and how those characteristics are relevant to what you’ve learned about the targeted population. Describe in detail the relevant information of who within this community is affected by your chosen health issue.
- Explain why the population you are focusing on in your community is predisposed to this health concern or health need and why they can benefit from a health promotion educational plan. Consider the factors that contribute to health, health disparities, and access to services. Support your conclusions with relevant population health and demographic data.
- Based on the health concern for your individual or group, discuss what you would include in the development of a sociogram. Take into consideration possible social, economic, cultural, genetic, and/or lifestyle behaviors that may have an impact on health as you develop your educational plan in this assessment. You will take this information into consideration when you present your educational plan in Assessment 4.
- Identify your chosen individual’s or group’s potential learning needs. Imagine the input of your audience if you were collaborating with the individual or group to establish the SMART goals that would be used to evaluate the education session (Assessment 4).
- Identify the individual or group’s current behaviors, outline clear expectations for this educational session, and offer suggestions for how the individual or group needs can be met. Health promotion goals need to be clear, measurable, and appropriate for this activity and audience. Consider goals that will foster behavior changes and lead to the desired outcomes.
Be sure to apply APA formatting to in-text citations and references exhibiting nearly flawless adherence to APA format.
- Write with a specific purpose and audience in mind.
- Adhere to scholarly and disciplinary writing standards and APA formatting requirements.
Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion in the scoring guide to see how your work will be assessed.
Your assessment should also meet the following requirements:
- Document format and length: Your health promotion plan should be 46 pages in length.
- Supporting evidence: Support your health promotion plan with peer-reviewed articles, course study resources, and Healthy People 2030 resources. Cite at least three credible sources published within the past 5 years using APA format.
