Consider a topic area with a focus that you believe is critical to your future role as an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse. Consult with your faculty member and seek approval prior to starting your paper.
Following approval of your selected topic, you will select a Specific Objective from Healthy People 2020. For instance, if your topic area was “Older Adults” you may choose the following objective in the “Older Adults” section and then choose a specific objective (click on the objectives tab):

• OA–6: Increase the proportion of older adults with reduced physical or cognitive function who engage in light, moderate, or vigorous leisure-time physical activities.

Based on this objective you would develop a more specific evidence based intervention such as providing a workshop on exercise for your target population. Or if your topic area was “Adolescent Health”, you may want to focus and develop and intervention on the following objective in the “Adolescent Health” section”

• AH–1 Increase the proportion of adolescents who have had a wellness checkup in the past 12 months.

Gathering the Evidence:

Besides the resources available in the topic areas of Healthy People 2020, visit South’s Online Library and conduct a review of literature looking for nursing research related to health promotion and disease prevention in your selected topic area.

Question Description

This is TWO projects and need to be separated into such.

Instructions

Course Project Part 1

Reflection Paper

For this assignment, identify a behavior modification you would like to establish through the utilization of a self-management program.

Clearly identify the target behavior or behaviors, and outline what aspects of the behavior or behaviors you would like to support or discourage. You could mention the struggles you have had with this target behavior in the past, challenges you might face while attempting to change the behavior, or other aspects.

Be sure to investigate ethical issues in settings used for research and treatment of this specific behavior modification.

You are encouraged to use media like pictures, graphs, and tables in your reflection paper.

Your reflection paper should be formatted in a more relaxed and narrative manner; however, remain professional and maintain your academic tone. The reflection paper must be at least two pages long and at least 500-600 words.

Your instructor will be grading your assignment according to the assignment rubric.

Instructions

Course Project Part 2

Find a case study in the CSU Online Library that focuses on the target behavior you identified in Unit III for your course project. Next, analyze the methods that were applied to modify the target behavior and evaluate whether or not these methods would be useful in your own self-management project.

Be sure to address the following:

  • Training goals: summarize ways to increase and decrease target behaviors using operant conditioning.
  • Consequences: examine applications of reinforcers and punishments.
  • Schedules of reinforcement: identify as continuous or intermittent (if intermittent, is the reinforcement based on a ratio or interval schedule?)
  • What aspects of culture may impact the behavior that was identified in the case study?
  • Were there any ethical boundaries that were crossed or mentioned in the case study? What might one consider (ethically) when conducting a case study such as the one you selected?

Your case study should be a minimum of two pages, not including the title and reference pages. You must use a minimum of three sources, which should be properly cited. All references should be formatted in APA style.

1. By using concrete examples, discuss how advertising reflects our culture as well as creates our culture. How do multinational corporations impact the culture of countries around the world? Give some examples of the how the link between advertising and culture has had negative consequences.
2. Discuss how the use of celebrity endorsing in advertising has evolved in the last 30 years. Are they more or less successful as an advertising tool than in the past? Give some positive and negative examples of advertising campaigns that have used celebrities.
3. Choose 3 vintage ads and 3 contemporary ads representing ‘the other’, for example, people from minority groups, disabled people, the overweight, the elderly, etc. How have the representations changed? How does this reflect our attitudes to these groups?
4. Choose 3 social advertising campaigns that encourage us to change our behaviour in some way, for example, practise safe sex, get active, stop smoking, etc. and discuss the ethical considerations of businesses promoting causes and selling products. For example, can Labatt’s have an ad campaign warning people to not drink and drive while selling alcohol.
5. Discuss the research on the positive and negative effects of advertising on children and adolescents. Are the regulations on advertising to children necessary? To certain ages? For certain products? For certain media?

Timeline Project Description

The Basics:

  • What – Using web-based timeline software, you will individually create a project that showcases the chronological development of a medical term of your choosing.
  • When – You can choose when you turn in your project from 3 possible due dates. Due dates cannot be changed (don’t ask!). Go to this page and sign up for whichever due date works best for you if it is still available. You may turn your assignment in at any time before the due date, but NOT after! You will be sent a reminder one week and one day before it is due, so look out for those. A maximum of 35 students may sign up for each group/due date. Erase someone’s else’s name and replacing it with your own is an act of academic dishonesty. The sign-up list is time stamped, so it will record each sign-up, so if you act dishonestly, you will receive a zero for the project. You may not sign up for a list if it has already reached its maximum number of 35.

Possible Due Dates:
a. Friday, September 18th (Submission Group 1)
b. Friday, October 9th (Submission Group 2)
c. Friday, November 6th (Submission Group 3)

  • Why – Understanding the historical reach and the impact these words have had on our society is an important part of the humanity behind science of medicine!

The Specifics:

  • Choose a word – You may choose any word you find in your textbook! That said, the word, such as a term for a common condition like glaucoma, might yield more detailed information or provide you with an interesting (and more difficult) avenue of research. So choose carefully!
  • Research –
    • You must cite every book, article, or website that you use for the content of your timeline.
    • At least two different sources are required. Citation information below.
    • You must cite every book, article, or website that you use for the content of your timeline.
    • At least two different sources are required. Citation information below.
    • Find and report on 5 different points in time where your term appears in Western European/American history. Pinpoint that time on Tiki-Toki, write about what took place, and explain why you think it is important and/or interesting. A good slide usually contains about paragraph of writing (4-6 sentences) in your own words. Plagiarism, however, is not acceptable (see further directions below). As much of your information may focus on more recent developments, your earliest point in time MUST be before the 20th century (pre-1900)!
    • Find and report on 3 different points in time where your term appears in either Middle Eastern, Asian, or African history. You may focus exclusively on one area (e.g. 3 points concerning glaucoma in Asian medical/cultural history) or any combination you choose.
    • Include multimedia (images, audio, or video) with your timeline that helps to enrich your events.
    • With  5 different points in time where your term appears in Western European/American history and 3 different points in time where your term appears in either Middle Eastern, Asian, or African history, your project should have 8 slides in total.
  • Submit – Submit your assignment under “Timeline Assignment” as a link to your timeline from Tiki Toki. Simply copy and paste the link to your timeline once you are finished. See the tutorial for how to do this if you are unsure. Be sure to check that the link works!
  • Rubric:
    • 5 Historical points         25
    • 3 Global perspectives   15
  • Grading Breakdown: 
    • Every story:
      • You have the potential to earn 5 points for each story.
        • .5 point for the correct dating (remember, the year is fine if no other information exists – just input January 1st as the month and date).
        • .5 point for citation (see below). This is essentially a free point for something you should be doing anyway!
        • 1 point for multimedia.
        • 3 points for content. Did you actually research your term and demonstrate that you have understood it in your own words? Do you offer an explanation as to why this particular event is significant? Is the content thoughtful and does it show a clear understanding of the articles/texts you cite?
      • Note: you cannot earn additional points (or hedge your bets) by creating more than 8 slides. If you go beyond 8 slides, only the first 8 will be graded, so be sure to make them good.
  • Citation – Because you are submitting written work as part of this course, you are bound by the rules of academic integrity set forth by USF and by all universities. Plagiarized material on your timeline will result in an automatic 0 for the assignment and we will not allow you a chance to resubmit. We take academic honesty very seriously and hope that you do, too.
    • Proper citation:
      • Are you taking content word for word from a source?
        • YES: then you need to put quotation marks around the exact words and cite the source either in the link box provided on Tiki-Toki or at the end of your event.
          • Example: According to the National Eye Institute, “Glaucoma is a group of diseases that damage the eye’s optic nerve and can result in vision loss and blindness.” https://nei.nih.gov/health/glaucoma/glaucoma_facts
        • NO: then this means you are paraphrasing (taking information and putting it into your own words). For this, you need to simply include a link in the box provided or at the end of the event.
        • Citation style:
          • If you are using an online source, a link is sufficient.
          • If you are using a print source, then a full citation is necessary at the end of your event. MLA is standard, but if you have a preference, then that’s fine – so long as you are consistent!
          • Example: Iwase, Aiko, et al. “The prevalence of primary open-angle glaucoma in Japanese: the Tajimi Study.” Ophthalmology 111.9 (2004): 1641-1648.

Resources:

  • A great way to get started is by checking out the many references available via the USF Library: http://www.lib.usf.edu/library-research/.
    • The Oxford English Dictionary, for example, will tell you that glaucoma entered the English language in 1643.
  • Bartleby.com will give you free access to Gray’s Anatomy.
  • Don’t shy away from using Google (either Google Scholar or Google Books) to help you find some valuable sources!
    • A quick search on Google Scholar yielded that article I cited above on glaucoma in Japanese – a potential great source that would fulfill your global event requirement. Do give this a try!
