Requirements:
This paper should clearly and comprehensively discuss a chronic
health disease. Select a topic from the list provided by your course
faculty (can choose any below).
Week 6 Chronic Health Topics:
Breast Cancer:
Include screening needs for the transgender population in the
content of the paper.
Bladder Cancer
Lung Cancer
The paper should be organized into the following sections:
1.
Introduction (Identification of the
problem) with a clear presentation of the problem as well as the
significance and a scholarly overview of the paper’s content. No heading
is used for the Introduction per APA current edition. 2.
Background
and Significance of the disease,
to include: Definition, description, signs and symptoms. Incidence and
prevalence of statistics by state (I live in Phoenix, Arizona) with a
comparison to national statistics pertaining to the disease. If after a
search of the library and scholarly databases, you are unable to find statistics
for your home state, or other states, consider this a gap in the data and state
as much in the body of the paper. For instance, you may state something like,
“After an exhausting search of the scholarly data bases, this writer is unable
to locate incidence and/or prevalence data for the state of …. This
indicates a gap in surveillance that will be included in the “Plan” section of
this paper. Evidence supports background. If the student discovers a gap
in data (no state level data), this is stated within the section. A student
created table is included using APA format. In the case of a gap in data,
the student will select two other sets of data to use in the student-created
table. 3.
Surveillance
and Reporting: Current
surveillance methods and mandated reporting processes as related to the chronic
health condition chosen should be specific.
4.
Epidemiological
Analysis: Conduct a descriptive
epidemiology analysis of the health condition. Be sure to include all of the 5
W’s: What, Who, Where, When, Why. Use details associated with
all of the W’s, such as the “Who” which should include an analysis of the
determinants of health. Include costs (both financial and social)
associated with the disease or problem.
5.
Screening
and Guidelines: Review
how the disease is diagnosed and current national
standards (guidelines). Pick one screening test (review Week 2
Discussion Board) and review its sensitivity, specificity, predictive
value, and cost. 6.
Plan: Integrating
evidence, provide a plan of
how a nurse practitioner will address this chronic health condition
after graduation. Provide three specific interventions that
are based on the evidence and include how you will measure
outcomes (how will you know that the interventions have utility, are
useful?) Note:  Consider primary, secondary, and tertiary
interventions as well as the integration of health policy advocacy
efforts. All interventions should be based on evidence – connected to a
resource such as a scholarly piece of research. 7.
Summary/Conclusion: Conclude in a clear manner with a brief
overview of the keys points from each section of the paper
utilizing integration of resources. 8.
The paper should be
formatted and organized into the following sections which focus on the chosen
chronic health condition.
