This paper is expected to be no
more than four pages in length (not including the title page and reference
list). Below are the requirements for successful completion of this
paper. Please use the following categories as the first level headings on
your paper. See the documents in the APA category in Course Resources
for assistance with APA formatting.
· [Introduction:] This beginning of
your paper should catch the reader’s attention with interesting facts about
your community and shouldinclude the purpose statement
of the paper. This should be one paragraph. APA states that
you should not title this as
introduction; however, you are still expected to write a separate introduction.
The title of the paper should be repeated at the top of page two and centered.
· Community Overview: Identify the community
that you are assessing by name and state and provide a general description of
the community. What is the general character of the community? Statistics
should not be included here. Your community should be the area you live or work
in and should include a residential area. It should be a large enough area to
answer the questions in the text. This should be one
paragraph.
· Demographic Data: Compile a range of
demographic (population description) data for your community by examining U.S.
Census Bureau reports. Using this data, describe your community. Compare your
community data to state or national data. A summary of this data should
be no more than two paragraphs.
· Epidemiological Data: Compile and summarize
a range of epidemiological (illness, morbidity, and mortality) data for your
community by examining data from sources such as city or county health
department reports, County Health Rankings (countyhealthrankings.org), or the
Centers for Disease Control to describe priority health problems in your area.
See the Webliography for applicable sites to search. Compare your community to
state or national data. This comparison will help to identify a priority
community health problem specific to your community. A summary of this data
should be no more than two paragraphs.
· Windshield Survey: Provide a summary of your
observations from your first milestone. Make sure to discuss observations
related to your identified problem. This should be one
to two paragraphs.
· Problem Diagnosis:
o Using the assessment data, identify one
community health nursing problem that you consider to be a priority concern.
o Relate your choice to one of the Healthy
People 2020 specific numbered objectives (not just a goal). Healthy
People objectives
are located within a topic area under the Objectives tab.
o Your rationale should
also include why this is a problem in your community and factors that
contribute to the problem. Avoid discussion of interventions in this milestone.
o Include a discussion of your
problem with information from at least two scholarly sources (such as
professional journal articles).(Review the documents in the APA category in Doc Sharing for
help in determining sources that are considered scholarly—hint, .com websites
are not considered scholarly sources). This should beno
more than three paragraphs.
· Summary: Summarize your
community assessment and diagnosis findings and include a brief statement about
the problem and the major factors that contribute to this problem. This
information should be no more than two paragraphs.
· Reference Page: All references should
be cited within the paper and should be included on the reference page.
