Individual Screening

Directions

Review the clinician provider guidelines and recommendations
of the United States Preventive Task Force A and B Recommendations.

For the MSN prepared nurse, knowledge of epidemiology and
its application to preventive screening guidelines is important in many
clinical areas: administrative,
education, and nurse practitioner fields. Consider you are working in a clinic
and need to order a preventive screening on a patient for one of the conditions
listed below. (While this is a preventative measure, it also can be a
diagnostic tool in other circumstances. For this Assignment the screening is a
secondary prevention measure.)

Please select one screening. Your screening methodology must
come from the National Clearinghouse guidelines.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

Breast Cancer

Cervical Cancer

Colon Cancer

Diabetes Mellitus II

Lung Cancer

Explain the guideline, the correct application of the
screening, and the epidemiology behind the guidance. Content required should
include epidemiologic data such as statistical information as available ex.
morbidity, mortality, incidence and prevalence of condition. Identify risk
factors, risk assessment, testing interval, description of the patient
population, screening test recommendations and other factors relative to the
guideline.

Master’s-prepared nurse educators, leaders, nurse
practitioners and all specialty nursing fields are contributors to health
promotion in populations across the life span. You will demonstrate
understanding and correct interpretations of preventive screening guidelines.
You should be able to apply this knowledge to your specialty focus as it
relates to health promotion and epidemiology.
