Review the attached PowerPoint presentations.  Once done answer the following questions:

1.  In your own words define what is vulnerability and rural populations and give and discuss at least two examples of each one.                                                                           2.  Do you feel it is realistic for nurses to be able to address all the different issues that face patients today? Why or why not? How do you think you could integrate this type of assessment into the care setting without taking up too much time? 

3.  If you worked in a rural area and wanted to form a task force around certain health topics, who would be important key informants to invite to the table? How would you work together to address the problems of the community? What would be some unique challenges in a rural community?                                                       4. What are some of the stereotypes about people who are homeless? Are these always true? Are they even usually true? What leads people to homelessness?      

-Assignment must be presented in an APA format word document, Arial 12 font attached to the forum on the discussion board.                                                                            -A minimum of 3 evidenced-based references.  References must be no older than 5 years.  

-A minimum of 700 words is required. 

– NO PLAGIARISM! 

Refer to the assigned reading, “Guidelines for Writing Learning Objectives.” How do health providers design educational programs to clearly articulate objectives to engage both patients as well as families?

Instructions from my professor:

Soap Note 1.  Heart Failure.

Must use the sample template for your soap note. 

Follow the MRU Soap Note Rubric as a guide

Use APA format and must include minimum of 2 Scholarly Citations.

TURN-It-In (anti-Plagiarism program) will be used.

The use of tempates is ok with regards of Turn it in, but the Patient History, CC, HPI, The Assessment and Plan should be of your own work and individualized to your made up patient. 

You must use template for Soap note 1. Use the information provided in the PDF as an “EXAMPLE”. You must use the word temple file and tailor it to your patient and their diagnosis. Using this template will make it very easy to learn the things needed in the note and help you not forget to put something or lose points due to incorrect format or missing information. 

The Chief Complaint, Patient info, HPI, Plan section, and references must all be of your own work and no copy-paste.

The Main Areas of Focus that will be checked for plagiarism is Chief Complain, History of Present Illness (HPI), Assessment with Rationale and Explanation, and the Plan. All of this should be in your own words and not copy-pasted from a past note or website or book. There should be minimum likeness noted by turn it in software in these areas. 

The Objective and Subjective information can be from a template (Standard Documentation) and will only be looked at for content and not for plagiarism. So if you are past 50% and the above main areas of focus sections are clear and minimum then you are ok. You can resubmit as many times but after 3 it takes up to 24 hours to get turn it in a score.

This is a made-up patient, so review your diagnosis and have the patient have the standard presentation, objective and subjective symptoms that would typically present and adjust them on.

Note: Soap Note Template, (mandatory use) is attached.

         Soap Note sample (PDF) is attached.

         Soap Note rubric (for grading) is also attached.

• What conclusions can you draw from the commonalities?
• How could some of these situations be mediated or resolved (e.g., by the person experiencing the discrimination, by institutions employing those who are discriminating others or dealing with clients/customers who are discriminating against employees).
