COMMUNITY HEALTH ASSESSMENT/ PROJECT PAPER (75 points)
This project is designed to help the student understand how major health concepts are applied within the discipline of nursing to meet health care needs of a population at risk (PAR) in the community. The project provides students the opportunity to demonstrate their ability to synthesize information about the interrelationships between public health science, nursing, health policy, and health care services.
The specific purpose of the project is to provide the student with opportunity to research a health need in a population at risk. It also allows the student, in the role as a community health nurse, to be an advocate. The project must be developed and implemented as part of the clinical experience and left with the community agency/population.
The written paper should be presented in the following organizational format:
Introduction, which clearly describes the PAR you have chosen (Increased risk of infection among adolescents in Hennepin County of Minnesota related to lack of knowledge regarding the disease, preventing from transmission disease, and high risk behaviors as demonstrated in increased incidence of sexually transmitted disease), why it is of interest to you and how you propose to conduct the community assessment.
