Assignment Task:
Understanding disease conditions specific to advanced primary care is vital to ensure proper and timely diagnosis and treatment to improve health care out comes for the patient. The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate one disease condition in the adult population and explore current evidence-based guidelines and treatments to determine a proper plan of care.
This assignment will focus on the following course student learning outcomes (CSLO):
1. Evaluate the role of the advanced practice nurse (APN) and the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) in particular, as it relates to obtaining a health history, performing a health assessment on adolescents, adults, and elderly from diverse cultural groups presenting with chronic and some acute physical and emotional concerns to an ambulatory, acute and/or managed health care delivery system (EOPSLO # 1, 2, 3, 4, 9).
2. Examine the principles and theories applicable to risk assessment and primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention for the promotion of optimum health of clients experiencing chronic or multisystem health problems (EOPSLO# 3 and 8).
3. Compare and contrast the possible interrelationships and impact of demographic characteristics, health beliefs, values, family situations, environment and community resources on the incidence and management outcome of chronic and some acute conditions of adult clients (EOPSLO # 2, 6, 7, and 9)
4. Incorporate epidemiological, social, and environmental research data in the assessment, holistic planning and outcome evaluation of interventions aimed at the diagnosis and management of the adult client's health/illness status, with emphasis on common chronic illnesses of adult individuals of diverse ethnic and cultural groups (EOPSLO # 6, 7, and 9).
5. Examine the interrelationships and influences of genetics, age, gender, race/ethnicity, socio economic status, mental health, lifestyle, family situation, culture or subculture, health beliefs and values on the differential diagnosis and selection of screening and therapeutic agents for the management of selected chronic and multisystem illnesses of adult clients, families, and groups (EOPSLO# 3, 8 and 9).
6. Synthesize the following concepts in the advanced nursing care of the client experiencing chronic multisystem illness: the advanced nurse-client relationship, client teaching-coaching function, professional role enactment, client empowerment, mutual participation in healthcare decision-making, ethics, client education and counseling, change theory and process, and collaboration in health care delivery (i.e., interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, multi cultural teams and global nursing) (EOPSLO # 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9).
7. Compare and contrast pharmacological and non-pharmacological/alternative therapeutic measures for the client experiencing chronic and/or multisystem diseases taking into consideration pharmaco therapeutics prescriptive legal requirements for APNs and issues of polypharmacy (EOPSLO# 6, 7, and 9).
10. Utilize computer technology in synthesizing scientific and research-based knowledge regarding health care issues and problems of multicultural, multi ethnic adults and populations at risk for health disparities (EOPSLO# 5, 8, and 9).
