NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2
Slide 1
In NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2, I, XYZ, am presenting a proposal titled Evidence-based population health improvement plan to use an evidence-based approach to fight diabetes in our society.
Slide 2
In California, an estimated thirteen million people suffer from untreated diabetes or prediabetes. It has been determined that an additional 2.5 million people suffer from diabetes. Age is a risk factor for diabetic patients, and research has shown that a large percentage of Californians between the ages of 18 and 29 have diabetes (Babey and others, 2019). Cardiovascular issues, kidney failure, end-stage hypertension, thyroid disorders, chronic bronchial asthma, heart attacks, obesity, neurological disorders, blindness, amputations, and mortality are already risks associated with diabetes (Nowakowska et al., 2019).
As stressed in NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2, diabetes is impacted by a variety of environmental factors, including dietary practices, physical activity, air pollution, and walkability. Although the weather in California is generally pleasant, wildfires and poor air quality are frequent during the hot summer months. People who spend more time indoors and less time outdoors are more likely to lead inactive lives. Diabetes rates are lower in locations with more green space and walkability than in areas with less, according to earlier studies. Applying evidence-based practice in public health can help address these issues and improve community well-being, despite the fact that most of California is not green and that some parts of the state are dangerous to stroll in because of high crime rates or low socioeconomic standing, which leads to unkempt cities. The socioeconomic
status of Californians significantly influences their consumption patterns. According to Dendup et al. (2018), comorbidities are more prevalent in lower socioeconomic locations because residents lack the means to enhance their quality of life.
Slide 3
Californians’ quality of life can be enhanced by expanding access to wholesome, nutrient-dense food in our low-income communities, but it must also be reasonably priced. Our poor societies and societies are often forced to pay the rent or to meet the nutritional demands of their family. The older population is one of the main groups in our local communities that find it difficult to receive our services because they lack mobility, support, and information about lifestyle changes that can assist control diabetes. This will be addressed through a nursing evidence-based practice project. Mobile food banks would be suggested as a way to improve our population’s health. In order to assist the elderly with their grocery shopping, these vans will travel to our senior-populated areas. Mobile food banks could be a redeeming element of illness preventive programs that enable lifestyle benefits through consumption, according to NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2. Food banks offer aid to low-income communities that are more vulnerable to health issues. There is a chance to combine the two in order to assist socioeconomic groups in need, as those in need who visit their local food banks may engage with food bank staff more often than medical professionals (Villa et al., 2022).
Slide 4
NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2 points out that the gap between lower socioeconomic groups can be prevented when mobile food banks are connected to healthcare. The mobile food bank, which provides nutrient-dense foods to those in our communities who are most at risk of acquiring diabetes, is growing because to population
health improvement strategies. A nurse or other medical professional who goes with the food bank examines those who cannot afford medical treatment. (Villa and others, 2022).
Slide 5
The representatives of city hall would be the first group of community stakeholders to endorse and concur on this plan. They will aid in facilitating the finance and assistance to ensure the achievement of this initiative. Local health organizations, supermarkets, distribution hubs, and farmers are a few examples of this type of resource. We will need to visit some prospective stakeholders, vendors, community members, nationalists, doctors, the city health department, and representatives of the city council to see if they can assist with action in order to keep this approach headed in the right way. After receiving approval, we will create educational flyers and mail them to our senior communities informing them of the distribution’s location, time, and services.
Slide 6
The phrase “evidence-based practice” refers to a purposeful, methodical approach that addresses problems that enhance nursing practice and produce positive patient outcomes by utilizing the most recent, efficient, and up-to-date information. Effective use of healthcare money guarantees that patients receive the highest quality care and attain outcomes that will improve their quality of life. We can deal with that issue and the issues that result from it after the primary health concerns have been determined. As stated in NURS FPX 6011 Assessment 2, we will concentrate on meals that exacerbate the condition and alter various food types in order to tackle the numerous diseases that are frequent with diabetes difficulties (McIntosh, 2022). As part of the effort to raise the standard of living in underprivileged areas, we will ask the community for feedback to determine whether the nutrition supply is adequate to enhance the health of the communities or if we should even create a cookbook that would assist them in cooking
healthful meals. As part of our evidence-based population health plan, we are continuously adapting our methods and helping our groups overcome challenges that we may not have foreseen because of patient-centered care and helping them improve their lifestyles.
