- A. The task directions and rubric identify this section as the “action report”. The action report is the Photo Journal collection of 12 photos assigned in Task 1 requirements. Once the photos are taken, save the Photo Journal as a PDF. You will upload this PDF for submission at the same time as the written portion of the task. The Dashboard report and Sentinel City Student Report are not action reports and are not to be submitted.
Your APA Community Assessment paper includes sections B through D.
- Needs Assessment: Holistic, Comprehensive Assessment of the Sentinel City. Complete the section, as directed below.
Demographics
(Refer to the Assessment tool: Demographics for the items/questions needed to be addressed in this sub-section)
Neighborhood Safety Assessment
(Refer to the Assessment tool: Neighborhood Safety Inventory for the items/questions needed to be addressed in this sub-section)
Scavenger Hunt
(Refer to the Assessment tool; Scavenger Hunt for the items/questions needed to be addressed in this sub-section)
Windshield Survey
(Refer to the Windshield Survey directions). This is a generic tool. Answer the questions you can through data and your own observations. Summarize your findings about the physical and social environment of Sentinel City.
B1. Data Analysis: Interpretation of Data
Link the health risks and needs evident in the data/information you collected from section B (4 assessment tools).
In this area your goal is to link the health risks and needs evident in the data you collected. For example, from charts under the tools, spinning/floating “I’s” and/or your observations.
Identify 4-5 health concerns that are significant to you as the nurse assessing the city. Interpret and analyze your observations coming from your OWN perspectives; utilizing the epidemiological variables that you collected in section B.
Example:
(As I completed my assessment, I went to the Better Health Clinic where I learned that teen pregnancy is a concern in Sentinel City.
Through exploring and researching within the Better Health Clinic, I learned that just between the ages of 15 and 17, there were about 400 teen pregnancies………………………)
Add additional epidemiological variables (contributing factors) to each identified health concern. Maybe you have discovered SC as having a possible health concern with cardiovascular disease that you have identified from community characteristics and data you found along with the four assessments (e.g. prevalence of smokers, poverty, low cigarette tax, cultural acceptance, hospital admits/discharges, pharmacy medications dispensed). Analyze the collected data and charts in SC identifying 4-5 health concerns from the collected information.
- Sentinel City Health Concerns
Complete the section, as directed below.
C1. Three Problem Areas Relate and discuss 3 health concerns identified in B1 with a related topic HP 2020 Goal/Objective. This should be written in narrative APA format.
Health Concern 1 HP 2020 Goal/Objective
Health Concern 2 HP 2020 Goal/Objective
