Unit 4 Assignment

Community Needs and Health Screening Initiative

Directions

For this Assignment you will pick one recommended screening
from United States Preventive Task Force A and B Recommendations.

An initiative is a project, an event, so something in the
community is ideal. Workplace location for employees is fine too. Please
include the following suggested level one headings so content is clear and
easily identified.

Theory or Conceptual Model

Choose a theory or conceptual model that you think might
work for your initiative and explain the theory or model here. You may choose to independently research your
model to help you explain its application to your initiative. If you have found
another model you will like to use, not listed, contact your instructor.

Screening Purpose

Discuss why it is important to screen for this condition.
This is where you address your community assessment and the reason for this
need in your community/ population choice. Support your stance with statistics
and information, ideally related to the location and population.

Population

Clearly address the demographics that are being screened;
where they live, state, county, ages, races included etc.

Screening Activity

This section is what you are doing at the screening and
should completely align with the screening guideline for the condition. Also
all health promotion screenings include some brief prevention education
component.

Outcome Goals

Bullet a few specific goals here. What do you hope to
accomplish with your screening?

Location

Briefly explain where you are doing this. It should be very
specific (e.g., Senior Citizen Center in Monroe Co on Saturday). Think about
what kind of facility or area you will need. Include comments explaining how
this location meets the needs of your target population and screening choice.

Cost

This is the cost for you to develop and conduct the
initiative. It is best displayed as a brief Word table showing what it costs
you to conduct the screening; paper, equipment, rental s etc. Volunteers are
fine, but everything is not free. Students must demonstrate they can develop a
cost estimate for a community screening intervention that is realistic and
takes into account financials. If there is a cost for the attendees that should
go here as well.

Summary

Provide a summary of your screening, general benefit to the
community and why it is important. Master’s-prepared nurse educators, leaders,
nurse practitioners and all specialty nursing fields are contributors to health
promotion in populations across the life span. This Assignment is focused on
preventive screening applications in the community, workplace or school
settings. You should be able to apply this knowledge to their specialty focus
as it relates to health promotion and epidemiology.

This should be a 3-4 page paper, excluding title page, and
references. A person should be able to read your paper and understand fully
what you are screening, where, when, the costs and how it is supported in the
guideline. Ideally a person would be able to duplicate your screening
initiative, based on the clarity you present. This paper should adhere to
appropriate 6th edition APA format. A minimum of 3-4 sources should be used.
