NSG4055 Illness & Disease Management across Life Span

Week 1 Project

Introduction

While
treating the chronically ill, a major challenge is developing a plan of care
that addresses the specific needs of a patient and a caregiver. You need to be
in close touch with patients and their support group, family and peers, to come
up with an ideal plan.

In this
course project, you are going to develop a plan of care for a chronic illness
group of your choice using the Healthy People 2020 Topics. While executing the
tasks of this project, remember that while you need to give a general overview
of the biomedical considerations of the case, the focus should always be on the
psychosocial elements. Your perspective in this care plan should be the
patient’s goals rather than those of the medical team.

Each week,
you will complete a part of this project. You will submit a final completed
project in Week 5. Be sure to take the time to carefully complete each of the
weekly assignments and then put it all together in Week 5.

Ensure that
you save a copy of this course project after you have submitted it at the end
of this course. You are expected to resubmit this project along with the other
course projects at the end of the Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science
in Nursing (BSN) program. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) details will be provided
in the Capstone course.

Identifying
a Group

Identify an
area of chronic illness of specific interest to you and that is represented as
a Healthy People 2020 topic (healthypeople.gov). Explain your choice and your
interest in it. Prepare a questionnaire utilizing your knowledge of health and
illness, with the aim of acquiring all information you need from patients to
prepare a plan of care for the specific illness group. Submit your information
in a 4- to 5-page Microsoft Word document. In addition to your questionnaire,
be sure to include the following details in your paper.

Chronic
Illness of interest

Morbidity

the chronic illness and patient morbidity and the affect to overall health of
nation
