ORDER NOW FOR AN ORIGINAL PAPER ASSIGNMENT: Assignment: Family Health Assessment Part II

Health has had many definitions over the duration of time. Health was once seen as sanitation and cleanliness to be free from all diseases, if you came down with a disease it was unknown the outcome due to sanitation issues. Diseases over the years have become more manageable and are not an overall picture of health. Health has many components making health a much broader concept. Health is seen as an overall picture of an individual not based on condition. In order to have this depiction health is a rounded terminology to depict all categories of an individual such as wellness, disease management and overall welfare. In order to get an accurate portrayal, it needs to include multiple factors versus disease free. Over time the idea of health has changed to help promote health, health promotion has been broadly adopted to help influence positive behaviors to help promote a healthier lifestyle.

Health promotion and the prevention of disease have taken precedence in the United States in an effort to decrease chronic health conditions and promote healthy living (Falkner, 2022). Health promotion is beneficial to help communities understand that a picture of health consists of multiple facets. There is no right or wrong way to go about health promotion but helping patients to understand how to be healthier is critical. The way individuals define and maintain health, when to seek treatment, what treatments to use, and who to seek treatment from are all heavily influenced by different cultural elements (Falkner, 2022). This is important to understand because all patients will have a different way to manage their illnesses or chronic conditions and there are many influential factors in their decisions.

Helping a patient to correctly identify changes that need to be implemented and base a plan off the patients’ needs and concerns is how health promotion will work the best. Nurses need to stay up to date with the goals of health promotion and strategical plan on how to implement these ideas to their patients. Integrating evidence-based practice (EBP) into the daily practice of healthcare professionals has the potential to improve the practice environment as well as patient outcomes. It is essential for nurses to build their body of knowledge, standardize practice, and improve patient outcomes (Abu-Baker et al., 2021). By continuing our education through EBP it allows the implementation of the most effective and current ideas for the betterment of our patients and communities.

Assignment: Family Health Assessment Part II

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.
Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.
One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.
I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.
Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.
In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.
Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).
Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.
APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).
Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.
I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.
Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.
As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.
It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.
LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.
Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.
Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.
If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.
I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.
As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.
Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.
Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.

The concept of health as a balance between a person and the environment, the unity of soul and body, and the natural origin of disease was the backbone of the perception of health in ancient Greece. In the 5th century BC, Pindar defined health as the “harmonious functioning of the organs,” emphasizing the physical dimension of health, the physical body, and the overall functionality, accompanied by the feeling of comfort and absence of pain. Even today, his definition is a prerequisite for overall health and wellness. Plato (429-347 BC), in his “Dialogues,” pointed out that a perfect human society could be achieved by harmonizing the interests of the individual and the community, and that the ideal of ancient Greek philosophy “a healthy mind in a healthy body” could be achieved if people established internal harmony and harmony with the physical and the social environment. All modern concepts of health recognize health as more than the absence of disease, implying a maximum capacity of the individual for self-realization and self-fulfillment. Health is a positive multi-dimensional concept involving a variety of features, ranging from the ability to integrity, from fitness to well-being. According to the first principle of the constitution of the World Health Organization, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”.

As with the WHO’s definition of health, the term wellness refers to more than just the absence of bad health, and wellbeing takes the notion several steps further. Wellness is not the management of a current condition, but that wellness is a set of comprehensive, and individual-level choices made well before the occurrence of any such health condition (Kirkland, 2014). It is helpful to think of health, wellness, and well-being as similar to the basic needs ranked in Maslow’s pyramid (1943). Maslow devised a hierarchy of needs; basic needs, such as food and shelter, form the foundation.

Health promotion or wellness has evolved relatively rapidly over the past 3 decades in response to the advances in our knowledge about health and changes in society. The Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion provided a template that has fundamentally reshaped public health practice in the past 35 years (WHO, 1986). The compelling logic of its key strategies—build healthy public policy, create supportive environments for health, strengthen community actions, develop personal skills and reorient health services—now routinely provide a comprehensive and inclusive framework for addressing any major public health challenge. From the 1980s through 2015, wellness is accepted and will continue to meet the challenges of the precursors to chronic diseases.

Evidence-based practice is important for both nurses and patients alike. It allows healthcare professionals to develop best practices in treating common illnesses and diseases, reduce variation in treatment, and increase positive outcomes and recovery.
