NRS 429V Nutrition Programs
Using the family structural theory (see the textbook as a model) how can families created following second marriages learn to function as one?
Traditionally, nutrition programs were targeted to the indigent and poor populations in developing countries. Many of today’s Americans are malnourished also, but they are inundated with unhealthy foods and require a multidisciplinary approach to nutrition education. What would be the three most important points to include in a public nutrition program? Provide current literature to support your answer and include two nutritional education community resources.
The needs of the pediatric patient differ depending on age, as do the stages of development and the expected assessment findings for each stage. In a 500-750-word paper, examine the needs of a school-aged child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old and discuss the following:
- Compare the physical assessments among school-aged children. Describe how you would modify assessment techniques to match the age and developmental stage of the child.
- Choose a child between the ages of 5 and 12 years old. Identify the age of the child and describe the typical developmental stages of children that age.
- Applying developmental theory based on Erickson, Piaget, or Kohlberg, explain how you would developmentally assess the child. Include how you would offer explanations during the assessment, strategies you would use to gain cooperation, and potential findings from the assessment.
What is the importance of cultural competency in nursing practice? Support your response.
Diversity among individuals, as well as cultures, provides a challenge for nurses when it comes to delivering meaningful health promotion and illness prevention-based education. How do teaching principles, varied learning styles (for both nurses and patients), and teaching methodologies impact the approach to education? How do health care providers overcome differing points of view regarding health promotion and disease prevention? Provide an example.
According to the assigned article, “Health Disparity and Structural Violence: How Fear Undermines Health Among Immigrants at
Risk for Diabetes,” narratives tell the story of the interconnectedness between fear and health. Thematically, the issue of fear is a
dominant feature that affects how an individual approaches day-to-day living and health. Explain the relationship between fear and health identified by the researchers in the article. Do you agree that structural violence perpetuates health disparity?
In the assigned reading, “How to Write Learning Objectives That Meet Demanding Behavioral Criteria,” Kizlik explained that “objectives that are used in education, whether they are called learning objectives, behavioral objectives, instructional objectives, or performance objectives are terms that refer to descriptions of observable behavior or performance that are used to make judgments about learning.” How do health providers design educational programs to clearly articulate objectives to engage both patients as well as families?

Details:
Select a family to complete a family health assessment. (The family cannot be your own.)
Before interviewing the family, develop three open-ended, family-focused questions for each of the following health patterns:
1. Values, Health Perception
2. Nutrition
3. Sleep/Rest
4. Elimination
5. Activity/Exercise
6. Cognitive
7. Sensory-Perception
8. Self-Perception
9. Role Relationship
10. Sexuality
11. Coping
NOTE: Your list of questions must be submitted with your assignment as an attachment.
After interviewing the family, compile the data and analyze the responses.
In 1,000-1,250 words, summarize the findings for each functional health pattern for the family you have selected.
Identify two or more wellness nursing diagnoses based on your family assessment. Wellness and family nursing diagnoses are

Health promotion occurs in three different levels of prevention. Primary prevention is aimed at the prevention of illness before it begins. This type of prevention includes preventive measures such as vaccinations, wellness visits and it includes education to promote health and wellness. An example could be educating patients about diet, weight, and exercise to prevent obesity in a community. This type of prevention requires active involvement of the individual to take some control in their health outcome. Patients can do this by getting vaccinated for influenza, exercising or changing their diets.
Secondary prevention is promoting health by screening and treating disease at early stages of the disease process. At this level of prevention early diagnosing can prevent the disease process before it becomes damaging with irreversible consequences. Nurses can promote health education during this level by implementing interventions to prevent further complications and obtain the goal of preventing the progression of disease.
At the level of tertiary prevention, the disease process has already caused irreversible damage. The goal is to promote the improvement of quality of life, by helping restore some type of normalcy of functioning in daily life. During this time treatments and rehabilitation are implemented to slow or stop the disease progression. Educating patients at this level is to prevent further problems from developing.
To begin educating our patients we need to assess and determine their educational needs at the prevention level their health is in. In all levels of prevention, we can educate to prevent, or improve the quality of life. Nurses being knowledgeable with evidenced based practice helps to deliver care that is backed by scientific research and clinical proven results. Collection of information from patients and their families guide us in the development of the plan of care. Information can help determine the level of prevention education needed and allows nurses to understand their learning capabilities and readiness to learn.

NRS 429V Week 4 Discussion 2
Which theoretical perspective, that guides the nursing process with assessment of the family, do you find to be the most helpful and effective? Why is this theory more appealing to you than the others?
NRS 429V Week 5 Discussion 1
Mrs. Jones, a widow, is no longer able to live independently and is requiring more and more help with her self-care. Her daughter, Susie, who is married with three school-aged children, agrees to let her mother move in with her. Susie is concerned with balancing the demands of her career and the needs of her family, especially now that her elderly and chronically ill mother will need assistance. She is also unsure about how she feels with the reversal of roles, having to now be the primary caregiver of her mother. How can the nurse, caring for this family, assist with the changes they are about to undergo? How can both the family structural theory and the family developmental theory be applied to this scenario? How can health education enhance health promotion for this family?
