Public Health: Health Promotion And Disease Prevention

 

The CDC WONDER program can help public health workers manage trends by organizing data to make it consumable for program planning.

Part 1: Patient Population Data

Consider the problem and the patient population you identified in your Wk 2 – Summative Assessment: Advocacy, Patients, and the Community (SEE ATTACHED)

Review the statistics that relate to the prevention of a particular communicable disease in your selected patient population.

Thinking about the SWOT analysis you conducted in Part 2a of your Wk 2 – Summative Assessment: Advocacy, Patients, and the Community (SEE ATTACHED), identify the same communicable disease or a new preventable health issue (e.g., hypertension) that applies to your patient population.

Follow these steps to help plan for health promotion and disease prevention for either the previously identified or a different communicable disease or a chronic health issue:

1. Access and explore the website to understand what data is available in relation to your topic (e.g., trends in spreading, who is being infected, available treatments).

2. On the homepage, select the Topics tab.

3. From the information that populates on the Topics tab, click on a topic you would like to prevent with your Weeks 4 and 5 teaching project and presentation.

4. Click into your statistic of interest (e.g., TB Annual Surveillance Reports) statistics.

5. As you research your topic, review available state-specific information within your topic’s statistics (e.g., United States Statistics: Data Visualizations).

6. On the map, click on your state.

7. Below the map, review and compare the rate and number of deaths for your chosen condition in your local community, state, and nation, if applicable.

Using the nursing process and the assessment you conducted with your patient population in your Week 2 summative assessment (Part 2a) (SEE ATTACHED), diagnose actual or potential health problems. To do this, create a list of problems you have identified and prioritize them (e.g., deficient of knowledge: TB transmission related to…).

Write a 350-word summary of how you will use CDC WONDER data and the assessments you have made to develop and plan for your teaching project in the Week 4 summative assessment. This teaching project relates to the problem you identified in your patient population. Include the following in your summary:

8. Incidence rate in your state (if available)

9. Prevalence rate in your state

10. Age-adjusted rates

11. Qualitative data from your population assessments (e.g., Three of the five people I talked to at the food bank told me that access to fresh fruits and vegetables was an ongoing problem.)

12. Nursing diagnosis or priority problem

13. Discussion how you might use this information to develop your teaching project
