Touro University Nevada
NUR 769 DNP VI: Leadership Approaches to Population Health
Week 4 Assignment
Guidelines with Grading Rubric
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to conduct a systematic assessment of health and illness parameters associated with a chronic, global health
issue. In completing this assignment, you will create a product for dissemination geared toward a population health setting. The ABCD
framework will be utilized to complete this activity.
Topic: Choose one of the following global health issues from the list below. Then, identify a vulnerable population that is impacted by this
illness. (For example, is a certain population more prone to this disease? Are certain environmental, geographic, cultural or other factors noted
to make a certain population more susceptible to developing and/or having complications from this particular illness?)
1. Hypertension
2. Diabetes
3. Asthma
4. Cancer
5. Obesity
Appraise: Conduct an assessment of the health and illness parameters of the chosen disease within your identified population. (Consider
Community Status Indicators, CDC chronic disease data, National Public Health Service strategic plans, World Health Organization data,
Healthy People [social determinants of health] for this part of the project.)
Bounce off: Next, consider how a nurse leader might approach this issue? Search the literature for evidence to support an appropriate
and
feasible intervention to address this problem in the community. Consider issues such as budget, cost effectiveness, practice initiatives, and
program impact. Formulate the following and share with your classmates in the week 4 discussion forum a) One specific intervention
addressing the population health issue, b) goal of the intervention, and c) budget and cost effectiveness measures d) methods for evaluation of
intervention. This initial post is due by Saturday at 11:59 pm PST of week 4. Gather insight from your peers through engaging in critical
appraisal of one another’s posts. (This component will be graded separately) (Initial post due by Saturday at midnight of week 4 and final peer
responses due by Tuesday at midnight along with part “D”.)
Compile: With consideration to the feedback received in the discussion forum and evidence found through your independent efforts, compile
themes to synthesize the evidence. In voice-over PPT format, discuss the problem and the plan for improvement. Address all components
explored in the previous steps of this assignment. Specifically address how this model would reflect best practices in population health as well
Touro University Nevada NUR 769 DNP VI: Leadership Approaches to Population Health
as the specific needs of the vulnerable population being explored. The product for dissemination should be appropriate for presentation to an
interdisciplinary team within a population health setting.
Disseminate: Share your overall findings with the other students in the course by posting your product of dissemination (as an attachment or a
link) in the discussion area of week 4 by Tuesday at 11:59 pm PST. You should review your peer’s submissions and provide feedback to at
least two peers. Because your final product is also due on Tuesday, you are not required to specifically respond to final posts. You are required
to respond to at least two peer’s discussion posts during the week. You should also submit your final assignment submission to the drop-box in
week 4 for grading by Tuesday at 11:59 pm PST.
Due Date: Tuesday at 11:59pm PST of Week 4
Total Points Possible: 200
Requirements:
1. To complete this assignment, you will need to access to the following databases: PubMed, CINAHL, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library,

2. The Week 4 Assignment is worth 200 points and will be graded using the designated rubric. Grading criteria include quality of content,
appropriate citations, use of Standard English grammar, and overall organization and readability.
3. Create your assignment using a Microsoft Word application or other approved media site that may provide a reliable link to the
assignment.
4. There is no required length, but the submission should be substantive to address all requirements.
5. APA format is required.
6. The following sections should be included and denoted through APA section headings in the work product:
a. Introduction to chosen Global Health
Disease
b. Introduction to Vulnerable
Population
c. Health and Illness Parameters of the disease within the identified population.
d. Nursing Leadership Approaches to the issues
i. Current scholarly
evidence overview
ii. Proposed
Intervention
iii. Causes and
Practice
Initiatives
iv. Budget and Cost Effectiveness of Initiatives
v. Program Impact
vi. Methods for Evaluation of the Intervention
