Artifact #1: Healthy people 2020 impact paper. The purpose of this assignment was to provide the framework for the study of infectious and chronic health issues/diseases, which provides a rich source of data for the analysis of trends in disease and health (NR 503 Syllabus, n.d). This assignment correlates with program outcome #2 which allows the student to obtain population health information from surveillance, observation, community, and control trial-based research.
Artifact #2: Infectious disease paper. The purpose of this assignment was to provide the student an opportunity to explore a communicable disease, to apply the epidemiological triad, and to discern the demographic and at-risk background data for a specific infectious disease agent (NR 503 Syllabus, n.d). This correlate with program outcome #5 by advocating for positive health outcomes through compassionate, evidence based, collaborative advanced nursing practice.
Artifact #3: Chronic health problem paper. The purpose of this paper was to identify a common chronic health issue and provide a detailed background and significance of the disease. The topic I chose was alcohol addiction and I provided current surveillance and reporting, epidemiological analysis, screening and guidelines, and a thorough treatment plan. This assignment correlated with program outcome #5 by displaying compassionate care through evidence-based research for positive health outcomes.
