Points: 250 points

Scenario

You are a community public health nurse (C/PHN) working in your setting of choice. You have analyzed the data collected from your windshield survey and assessment and diagnosis assignments (the first two milestones) and identified one community health nursing problem. You have decided on one nursing intervention and need your organization’s approval for funding of this intervention. Your leadership team has agreed to listen to your proposal.

Directions

• Watch the Milestone 3 tutorial by clicking this link. This tutorial is also available on Course Project page under Course Home as well as Week 6 Assignments page.
• Choose a community health nurse setting. Some examples of settings are school nurse, parish nurse, home health nurse, nurse working in the health department (be specific to what area in the health department, e.g., WIC, STD clinic, health promotion, maternal-child health, etc.)
• Introduction: Introduce the identified problem, the purpose of the presentation, and reiterate at least one or two important findings that demonstrate this problem in your community (average of 1–2 slides)
• Proposed Intervention: Propose one community health nursing intervention that would address one or more of the major factors that contribute to the problem (average of 3–4 slides).
  • Describe your specific nursing intervention relating it to the public health intervention wheel (Nies & McEwen, 2015, p. 14, Figure 1-3)
  • Who is your target population?
  • Where is this intervention taking place?
  • Will it take place one time or multiple times?
  • How will you reach out to your target population?
    • How will you get your target population involved?
  • What is the CH nurse’s role in this intervention?
  • Will you collaborate with anyone (e.g., physician’s office, church, local resources, etc.)
  • Is anyone else involved besides yourself (C/PHN)?
    • If yes, are they paid or volunteers?
  • What level(s) of prevention is your intervention addressing (primary, secondary, or tertiary prevention)?
• Intervention Justification: Justify why the problem and your nursing intervention should be a priority.
  • Based on what you have found in the literature, discuss why these interventions are expected to be effective.
  • Include summarized information from at least two professional scholarly sources related to your intervention (average of 2–3 slides). click here for more information on this paper
• Proposed Evaluation Methods: Your presentation must include at least one proposed quantitative or qualitative evaluation method that you would use to determine whether your intervention is effective. Outcome measurement is a crucial piece when implementing interventions (average of 2–3 slides)
  • Describe at least one quantitative or qualitative method you would use to evaluate whether your intervention was effective. (There is a helpful tool found in Doc Sharing to assist you with understanding qualitative and quantitative
