  • Discuss whether you found the results of the study to be helpful.
  • Based on the findings in this study, would you consider this as a treatment modality?  Why? or Why not?

Include examples from the article to support your responses and make sure your responses reflect depth and synthesis of the material.  Please upload the article and the completed template with your review as separate documents to the assignment area clearly labeled so they can easily be located for grading.

Health Promotion Proposal, Part 1

Description

Over the duration of this course, you will submit a scholarly PowerPoint “Health Promotion Program Proposal,”

addressing existing nursing knowledge related to health promotion and a written proposal.

In the written proposal, you will also develop a health promotion program to meet the health needs of a vulnerable

population in your potential concentration area or community. The PowerPoint portion is your presentation of that proposal.

The proposal must demonstrate graduate school-level writing and critical analysis. The final version of

your proposal is due in week 8.

For this assignment you will submit Part One of your proposal, detailing a health problem that is

prevalent within your selected group and demonstrating your research of health promotion strategies for

addressing this specific health problem. At this point, you already developed in your discussions the core ideas of the topic contained in this assignment. You will use the same information, but it won’t be a copy-and-paste exercise. The purpose is that you enhance your ideas with the comments and outcomes of the weekly discussions and previous evaluations.

Mason is a 55-year-old homeless man who you are seeing today for the first time. He is a smoker and states that he has frequent colds and a routine morning cough. He used to be short of breath just walking up hills, but he now has difficulty breathing with everyday activities and is having trouble finding food because he cannot walk very far. He just wants medicine to help him survive on the streets. On examination, you find him using his accessory muscles to breathe. His vital signs are 99°, 100 beats per minute, 28 respirations/min., and blood pressure 140/90. Breath sounds are distant with end-expiratory wheezes. He has a slight barrel chest and neck vein distention.
