in nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the student’s ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components of the course change proposal capstone project.

For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project. Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” resource to complete this assignment.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.

In this assignment, you will be completing a health assessment on an older adult. To complete this assignment, do the following:

1. Perform a health history on an older adult. Students who do not work in an acute setting may “practice” these skills with a patient, community member, neighbor, friend, colleague, or loved one. (If an older individual is not available, you may choose a younger individual).
2. Complete a physical examination of the client using the “Health History and Examination” assignment resource. Use the “Functional Health Pattern Assessment” resource as a guideline to assist you in completing the template.
3. Document findings of complete physical examination in Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation (SBAR) format. Refer to the sample SBAR Template located on the National Nurse Leadership Council website at https://www.ihs.gov/nnlc/includes/themes/newihstheme/display_objects/documents/resources/SBARTEMPLATE.pdf as a guide.
4. Document the findings of the physical examination in the assessment worksheet.
5. Using the “Health History and Examination” assignment resource, provide the physical examination findings summary with planned interventions for the client. Include any community services in the interventions.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

• Subject Nursing
• Number of pages 7
• Format of citation APA
• Number of cited resources  3
• Type of service  Writing

Write a paper  (2,000-2,500 words) in which you apply the concepts of epidemiology and  nursing research to a communicable disease. Refer to ″Communicable  Disease Chain,″ ″Chain of Infection,″ and the CDC website for assistance  completing this assignment.  Communicable Disease Selection  Choose one communicable disease from the following list:  Chickenpox Tuberculosis Influenza Mononucleosis Hepatitis B HIV Ebola Measles Polio Influenza Epidemiology Paper Requirements  Address the following:  Describe the communicable disease (causes, symptoms, mode of  transmission, complications, treatment) and the demographic of interest  (mortality, morbidity, incidence, and prevalence). Is this a reportable  disease? If so, provide details about reporting time, whom to report to,  etc. Describe the determinants of health and explain how those factors  contribute to the development of this disease. Discuss the epidemiologic triangle as it relates to the communicable  disease you have selected. Include the host factors, agent factors  (presence or absence), and environmental factors. (The textbook  describes each element of the epidemiologic triangle). Are there any  special considerations or notifications for the community, schools, or  general population? Explain the role of the community health nurse (case finding, reporting,  data collecting, data analysis, and follow-up). Identify at least one national agency or organization that addresses the  communicable disease chosen and describe how the organization(s)  contributes to resolving or reducing the impact of disease. Discuss a global implication of the disease. How is this addressed in  other countries or cultures? Is this disease endemic to a particular  area? Provide an example. A minimum of three peer-reviewed or professional references is required.
