Vulnerable Populations

Purpose: The health of a community depends upon the citizens, the availability of essential services, community-based resource programs, and numerous other factors. Community/public health nurses use this information to access needed resources for clients, form collaborative partnerships, and advocate for health policy. Consider your community’s health, mental health, and family support services. This assignment aims to explore mental health and family support resources in an identified community, collect, analyze, and report data related to the identified issue, and identify population-based public health nursing resources and strategies that promote health in your community. Instructions: Review the learning activities for this module and the results of the windshield survey you previously completed of your local community. Then, create a 13-slide PowerPoint presentation that includes the following sections with headings as required by APA 7th edition: Slide 1: Title Slide 2: Introduction with a purpose statement Slide 3: Provide a summary of the community assessment you submitted in Module 4, including a description of the key findings. Slide 4: Identify an issue from the assessment that affects health and provide evidence or data that supports its significance. Slide 5: Describe the population most affected by or vulnerable to the issue. Slide 6: Discuss the Healthy People 2030 Goal(s) that address this issue. Slide 7: Propose three community-based interventions from published peer-reviewed articles that may impact the issue. Slide 8: Identify where each selected intervention is located on the Minnesota Public Health Wheel. Slide 9: Provide an objective rationale for each evidence-based intervention to address the practice problem. Slide 10: Describe how you would evaluate if your intervention was efficient, effective, and equitable. Slide 11: Identify resources or other community stakeholders with which the community/public health nurse could collaborate to impact the population and issue. Slide 12: Conclusions. Slide 13: Reference Page. Complete and submit the assignment by 23:59 EST Sunday. Each citation and reference should use APA 7th edition.
