Preparation:
For this assessment, you will propose a hypothetical health promotion plan addressing a particular health concern or health need affecting a fictitious individual or group living in the community. The hypothetical individual or group of your choice must be living in the community; not in a hospital, assistant living, nursing home, or other facility.
To prepare for this assessment, first select a health concern or health need from the
Assessment 01 Supplement: Health Promotion Plan resource.
· Consider the populations potentially affected by that concern or health need, and hypothetical individuals or groups living in the community.
· Then investigate your chosen concern or need and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence.
Instructions:
To complete your hypothetical health promotion plan, please use the following outline to guide your work:
Health Promotion Plan
· To begin, first select a health issue or need that will be the focus of your assessment from the
Assessment 01 Supplement: Health Promotion Plan resource.
· After you select a specific health concern or health need from the resource above, next investigate the concern or need and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence.
· Create a scenario as if this project were being completed face-to-face.
· Identify the chosen population and include demographic data (location, lifestyle, age, race, ethnicity, gender, marital status, income, education, employment).
· Describe in detail the characteristics of your chosen hypothetical individual or group for this activity and how they are relevant to this targeted population.
· Discuss why your chosen population is predisposed to this health concern or health need and why they can benefit from a health promotion educational plan.
· Based on the health concern for your hypothetical individual or group, discuss what you would include in the development of a sociogram. Take into consideration possible social, economic, cultural, genetic, and/or lifestyle behaviors that may have an impact on health as you develop your educational plan in your first assessment. You will take this information into consideration when you develop your educational plan in your fourth assessment.
· Identify their potential learning needs. Collaborate with the individual or group on SMART goals that will be used to evaluate the educational session (Assessment 4).
· Identify the individual or group’s current behaviors and outline clear expectations for this educational session and offer suggestions for how the individual or group needs can be met.
· Health promotion goals need to be clear, measurable, and appropriate for this activity. Consider goals that will foster behavior changes and lead to the desired outcomes.
