For this assignment Perform a complete health history on a self-selected patient. For this assignment, you will need to identify a family member or friend as your selected patient for the entire assignment. No demographic or identifying information is to be shared for this assignment. Use chapter four of your Jarvis (2020) textbook as a guide to complete this paper. Synthesize your findings in a narrative, scholarly paper format based on the directions below. Structure and Content: No more than six pages in length, double-spaced, not including the title and reference pages. 12 point font Times New Roman or 11 point font Calibri. Title page in APA style. Complete sentences in narrative format. Sections of your Paper: Introduction (no heading): Briefly introduce your patient to the reader. Include biographic data, source of history, and present history or history of present illness. Past Health: Childhood illnesses, accidents or injuries, serious or chronic illnesses, hospitalizations, operations, obstetric history, immunizations, last examination date, allergies, and current medications. Culture and Genetics: Briefly highlight in the findings of the family history identified in the genogram discussion. Discuss any pertinent cultural issues. Review of Systems: Present a brief overview highlighting only abnormal findings. Functional Assessment: Use your Jarvis (2020) textbook as a guide. You may want to discuss self-esteem, self-concept, activity/exercise, nutrition/elimination, sleep/rest, spiritual resources, coping and stress management, personal habits, alcohol, illicit or street drugs, environmental/hazards, intimate partner violence, and occupational health. Perception of Health: Conclude with a summary of your patient’s perception of health. Identify their health concerns, goals, and expectations from their health care providers. General Tips Refer to Chapter 4 (Jarvis, 2020) for information on each required health history area. *Be sure to follow the Written Assignment Rubric. Each section should be used as a Level 1 heading in your paper “Centered, Bold, Title Case Heading” (American Psychological Association, 2020, p. 48). Please remember to protect your patient’s privacy. Use initials instead of first and last names when mentioning your patient. Do not disclose your patient’s address. This is not a medical record, it is an academic paper so please follow APA guidelines. For more information on citations, please visit the APA tutorial. For ease of access, it is recommended that you use a family member, friend, or classmate within close proximity as your “patient”. This activity will be graded using the written assignment rubric.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and identify one change that you believe is called for in your organization/workplace.
• This may be a change necessary to effectively address one or more of the issues you addressed in the Workplace Environment Assessment you submitted in Module 4. It may also be a change in response to something not addressed in your previous efforts. It may be beneficial to discuss your ideas with your organizational leadership and/or colleagues to help identify and vet these ideas.
• Reflect on how you might implement this change and how you might communicate this change to organizational leadership.

The Assignment (5-6-minute narrated PowerPoint presentation):

Change Implementation and Management Plan

Create a 5- or 6-slide narrated PowerPoint that presents a comprehensive plan to implement changes you propose.

Your narrated presentation should be 56 minutes in length.

Your Change Implementation and Management Plan should include the following:

• An executive summary of the issues that are currently affecting your organization/workplace (This can include the work you completed in your Workplace Environment Assessment previously submitted, if relevant.)
• A description of the change being proposed
• Justifications for the change, including why addressing it will have a positive impact on your organization/workplace
• Details about the type and scope of the proposed change
• Identification of the stakeholders impacted by the change
• Identification of a change management team (by title/role)
• A plan for communicating the change you propose
• A description of risk mitigation plans you would recommend to address the risks anticipated by the change you propose

Alternate Submission Method

You may also use Kaltura Personal Capture to record your narrated PowerPoint. This option will require you to create your PowerPoint slides first. Then, follow the Personal Capture instructions outlined on the

page. This page will walk you through downloading the tool and help you become familiar with the features of Personal Capture. When you are ready to begin recording, you may turn off the webcam option so that only “Screen” and “Audio” are enabled. Start your recording and then open your PowerPoint to slide show view. Once the recording is complete, follow the instructions found on the “Posting Your Video in the Classroom Guide” found on the Kaltura Media page for instructions on how to submit your video. For this option, in addition to submitting your video, you must also upload your PowerPoint file which must include your speaker notes.

Create a Powerpoint presentation showing the instructional material you would use for your plan. Describe what materials you would use in the class. Explain how the handouts, PowerPoints, etc. were created. Will you use a video? Explain why that would be appropriate. How did you determine the materials to be at the appropriate level for the audience? If you state you will be using a PowerPoint to teach or handouts to be given to the students/learners, you will need to create those specific items and submit them here. (Instructional materials are to be developed originally from you. If you are deriving some of your handouts or presentations from another author or creator, make sure to cite their work properly in APA format)

Instructions:

Respond to the instructor prompt with a 250-word minimum essay response. Put ESSAY (all caps) on the first line of your message. Also, in addition to your essay response you must respond to three of your classmates with a substantive reply. While there is no word count requirement for your replies, they should add to the discussion and not merely be expressing agreement.

Required posts for full credit:

One essay response to a prompt, minimum 250 word count.

Three replies to classmates’ essays, which must add to the discussion and not merely be expressing agreement.

Prompt:

Describe the structure and function of the skin, how the sun affects the skin and how sunscreen mitigates the harmful effects.

Do you have any recommendations on how to better educate the public about the utility of sunscreen?

Week 5: Identifying Practice Issues at the National and Global Level

Submission Type:

Infographic

Details:

For this assignment, you will continue your analysis of common nursing practice issues but focus what influence the practice issue has at the national and global levels.

STEP 1. EXTEND

Continue your exploration of the practice issue you identified in Week 3. (NURSING SHORTAGE)

STEP 2. EXPLORATION

Begin researching your topic.

• Explore the impact of the issue nationally and globally.
• Make an appointment with the WCU Librarian to discover supporting literature related to the practice issue, national and global impact, and policy addressing the practice issue.
• Address the impact or influence of professional associations in relation to the practice issue. Identify professional associations interest in the practice issue. Explore how and why professional associations influence the issue. What is the impact of this influence? How are national and global professional associations different than local and state associations?
• Find interviews from nursing leaders, policy makers, or politicians addressing the practice issue on a national or global level.
• Review the practice issue at the national and global level through contact with or review of national and global health organizations.

STEP 3. CREATE

Record your findings into an infographic to display your findings. Include the following:

• Identify and define the topic area and practice issue
• Description of the practice issue
• Impact to overall quality of patient care
• Impact to the nursing profession in general
• Identify relevant legislation and policies related to these issues and their effects on nursing practice
• Define the audience that the infographic will apply to. Keep in mind the audience is different than your previous assignment.

*PRO TIP* TurnItIn must be able to read your document for you to get credit. If your online tool generates an infographic in a format other than PDF or Word doc., TurnItIn cannot read it. Download your work as a PDF to upload it properly.
