Instructions

Use the template below as a worksheet/workspace. The question prompts provided are intended to help you to gain a better understanding of the public health issue or need associated with your advocacy action plan. As you complete this template, you are allowed to make informal notes, use bullet points and copy and past links to websites, articles and other resources that will help you to better identify factors related to your advocacy action plan.

As you complete this template, please keep in mind the following:

· Although it is important to consider macro-level factors (i.e., what is happening at the societal level), for the purposes of this assignment you are asked to place more emphasis on micro-level factors (i.e., what is happening at the community level).

· Although all questions may not apply to your advocacy action plan, be sure to answer each question under all four categories (Political, Economic, Socio-Cultural, & Technology).

Political, Economic, Socio-Cultural and Technological Aspects of the Proposed Change in Your Advocacy Action Plan

	Factor	Opportunity	Threat
POLITICAL
Political factors to consider: · When is the country's next local, state, or national election? How could this change government or regional policy? · Who are the most likely contenders for power in your community? What are their views on public health policy, and on other policies that affect your organization? · Depending on the country, how well developed are property rights and the rule of law, and how widespread are corruption and organized crime? · How are these situations likely to change, and how is this likely to affect you? · Could any pending legislation or taxation changes affect your business, either positively or negatively? · How does government approach public health policy, areas of social justice or social responsibility, and environmental protection legislation? What impact does this have, and is it likely to change? · Are there any other political factors that are likely to change?
	Factor	Opportunity	Threat
ECONOMIC
Economic factors to consider: · How stable is the current economy? Is it growing, stagnating, or declining? · What is the financial condition of the organization you plan to work with? Is the organization financially stable? Is there revenue to fund your idea? If not, how will you address this? · Are there any other economic factors that you should consider?

Socio-Cultural factors to consider: · What is your target population's growth rate and age profile? How is this likely to change? · Are generational shifts in attitude likely to affect what you're doing? · What are your target population’s levels of health, education, and social mobility? How are these changing, and what impact does this have? · What social attitudes and social taboos could affect your advocacy action plan?

Technological factors to consider: · Are there any new technologies that you could be using? · In which areas do governments and educational institutions focus their research? Is there anything you can do to take advantage of this to address your proposed advocacy action plan? · Are there existing technological hubs that you could work with or learn from? THINK COLLABORATION! · Are there any other technological factors that you should consider?
Step 2: BRAINSTORM OPPORTUNITIES Now that you have identified some of the changes that are taking place in the proposed setting for your advocacy action plan, look at each of those changes and brainstorm the potential OPPORTUNITIES that might be available for you or for the organization which you are proposing the advocacy effort for.

Judaism Discussion

After studying 

Module 3: Lecture Materials & Resources
, as well as reviewing the 

Judaism Resources
 page, discuss the following:

In your reading of 
Chapter 10 – Encountering Judaism: The Way of God’s People as well as the other readings for the week, you have gained a better understanding of central themes of Judaism. As you learned more about the religion, you may have noticed the many similarities that Judaism shares with Christianity as the relationship between the two religions rather unique. Christianity is rooted in Judaism historically, scripturally, liturgically, and even theologically. No two major world religions have so much in common. Below are a handful of the common elements shared by these two religions, however it is important to note that even though these religions share several common elements, they articulate them differently. Last week, we expounded upon how some of these themes are understood in the context of Catholicism and now you will describe how they are understood in Judaism.

Select the two themes  below and present the Jewish teaching on the chosen theme.

· Jewish Understanding of God

· Freedom and Free Will

Each selected theme must:

· Each theme must Be explained in at least two paragraphs

· Incorporate at least 2 direct quotations with accompanying in-text citations from either the required weekly readings or a resource found on the “Judaism Resources” page linked below

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate the skills of the professional nurse as an educator. You are to prepare a patient scenario based on the 
required assigned topic (Diabetes). You will choose 
an already-developed and reliable mHealth app to educate your patient.

Preparing the Assignment

Select ONE of the 
Health Conditions or 
Health Behaviors for the focus of your assignment through the Healthy People 2030 link below:

https://health.gov/healthypeople/objectives-and-data/browse-objectivesLinks to an external site.

Note:  It is crucial to choose your Health Condition or Health Behavior first, then develop a short but detailed patient scenario (See the video tutorial, assignment directions, and rubric for details about the scenario.) Then, explore a mobile health app (mHealth app) that fits the patient and the topic.

Requirements and Guidelines

·
Write your own patient scenario using the 
Required Assignment Topic.

· Make sure to include a 
Healthy People 2030 Health Condition or 
Health Behavior in the scenario for a patient who desires to maintain or achieve good health and prevent illness and who could benefit from 
an already developed and reliable mHealth app from the internet.

· Choose a 
scholarly peer-reviewed journal article published within the last 5 years and related to your scenario's health condition or health behavior. This required article citation MUST appear in the 
Patient Scenario section of the paper and support your chosen health topic. You may use other citations/references in your paper; however, these would be optional. The Chamberlain Library is your best place to obtain this article. Cite this in APA 7th edition format in this section of the assignment.

·
Describe in detail the plan for teaching this patient in the scenario.

· Include the nurse's assessment of learning needs and readiness to learn.

·
Identify a mHealth app that could benefit the patient, considering the teaching/learning needs you identified.

· Tips for your internet search for an appropriate mHealth app:

· The iPhone App Store and Google Marketplace let you search for apps based on keywords such as “health” or more specific topics such as “weight loss,” “stress,” and “diabetes.” Look through the descriptions of apps that come up in your results. Does the app address the health concern you have identified? Does it do what you’re looking for with this specific patient? For example, if you’re interested in having your patient track their sleep habits, does the app do this? Please reach out to your instructor if you have questions about a particular mHealth app for this assignment.

· Describe the app, including the mHealth app name, purpose, intended audience, mobile device(s) upon which it will operate, and where to download or obtain it. Add any other information you believe would be pertinent to this situation.

· Include a working link if it is to be downloaded from a website in the area indicated on the template.   

· Make sure to add a citation for this mHealth app in APA format.  The directions and examples of how to cite a mobile app are located on page 340 of the APA Manual, 7th edition.

List your 2 references.  One will be the mHealth app reference, and the other will be your scholarly article reference.
