Nutrition plays a vital role in a person's overall health and well-being. Not getting enough of the recommended
nutrients over the long-term can lead to malnutrition which often results in disease and illness.
In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper spelling/grammar, address the following:
1. Define malnutrition and identify a specific disease that can result from it.
2. Perform library research about the selected disease, and explain its physiological effects on a
person's body.
3. Describe the relationship between specific foods/nutrients and the disease. Use the questions
below to guide your response.
4. Does research indicate that a lack of specific foods/nutrients increase a person's chance of
contracting the disease?
5. Are there specific foods/nutrients that should be avoided by an individual afflicted with the
disease?
6. How do specific foods/nutrients work physiologically within the body to help combat the
disease?
7. Evaluate nutritional recommendations to help combat the disease.
8. Cite at least 3 credible references and present the resources in APA format on the References
page.

The Health Belief Model (HBM) was developed by Hochbaum, Rosenstock, and Kegels, psychologists working in the US Public Health Services. HBM is based on perceived susceptibility, severity, benefits, and barriers. This Model can be used to predict health behaviors, for example, the intention to vaccinate or comply with medical interventions. I chose this model because it is important to know if your patients will engage with healthy behavior or not. If it is the latter, you can implement education and resources to help them make healthy choices.
During the COVID pandemic, misinformation had an enormous impact on people following precaution guidelines. Many people ignored recommendations due to their lack of accurate information. The HBM can raise awareness of the relationship between health, information, and the digital landscapes the public interacts with (Houlden et al., 2021).
I believe this model can address my topics because there are a lot of people who have been misinformed about healthy behaviors regarding mental health and childbirth. This model can help screen for those individuals and once identified, education and resources can be offered to encourage better heath decisions.

· I chose the Transtheoretical/Stages of Change Model. This model helps describe a patient's motivation and readiness to change a health-related behavior they may want to improve. It is described in a five-step process and evaluates the patient's behavioral change, the process of the changes, decision-making, and self-efficacy. Here are the five stages of this model:
1. Precontemplation: the patient is unaware of their need to change and most likely is unwilling to change.
2. Contemplation: this is when the patient begins to develop a desire to change and get better.
3. Preparation: personal plans begin of how to change.
4. Action: when the patient incorporates the new behavior into their life and/or routine.
5. Maintenance: the patient is consistent in changing and demonstrating that change, usually for six months or more.
· I chose this model because I feel it gives the patient ways to improve and get better in a clear and precise way. It gives the patient their own choice to get better, which I feel is an excellent way to get a patient to change unhealthy behaviors. The patient needs to have that desire to change and get better first. It demonstrates more of an understanding of the actual cognitive and behavioral changes the patient will experience and go through. “Movement through these stages does not always occur in a linear manner, but may also be cyclical as many individuals must make several attempts at behavior change before their goals are realized” (Marcus & Simkin, 1994). It gives the patient time to work through each stage, even if it may not happen the first time, but it helps them feel more fulfilled.
· This model can be used to address the Healthy People topic and objective I have chosen because, a lot of the time, the patient is unaware they need to change or unwilling to change. They don't know what steps they need to take to get better. Once given the education on how to get better, they need to desire to get better. This model can show the patient that they are getting better and gives them something to look at. It can also show healthcare professionals how the patient is improving and where they are at.

Experiential Nursing Learning Planning Proposal
Assignment
20 points
Overview and Instructions:
Demonstrating the student’s ability to effectively collaborate with nursing leaders and community health nurses for the upcoming public/community health clinical experience, while using leadership skills as a means to prepare for the upcoming NURS 450 experiential nursing learning experiences, the student will submit an experiential learning planning proposal paper by 6-25-23.
During this course (410), you will plan your experiences that will take place during the NURS 450 course. Prior to due date, you will be responsible for contacting a BSN (or higher) preceptor for 24 hours in a public/community health clinical site for your upcoming NURS 450 course. The clinical site must offer community/population-based services, with the primary preceptor being a BSN (or higher) prepared nurse working in a clinical setting providing community or population-based care, while using nurse leadership skills. You will also arrange for 11 additional volunteer hours in a different public/community health setting. Within this module, you will find a list of potential experiential learning (clinical) sites that have been used by previous nursing students. This is not an all-inclusive list but does give the student an idea of previously used sites. Your precepted and/or volunteer experiential nursing learning (clinical) site does not need to be included in this list, as other public/community health sites can be arranged as well.
