Course  

NR 503 Population Health, Epidemiology And Statistical Principles

Purpose

The ideas and beliefs underpinning the discussions guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The use of discussions provides students with opportunities to contribute level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a safe, caring, and fluid environment that models professional and social interaction. The ebb and flow of a discussion is based upon the composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant scholarship. Participation in the discussion generates opportunities for students to actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty. Discussions foster the development of members into a community of learners as they share ideas and inquiries, consider perspectives that may be different from their own, and integrate knowledge from other disciplines.

SOLUTION  

When collecting epidemiological data, there are various factors of consideration. Primarily, the main factor of interest is the social determinants of health like education, environment, social support networks, and employment, among others (Artiga & Hinton, 2018). The cultural assessment tool is vital in collecting this form of information because it links patients, clinicians, and other care providers who are interested in a certain phenomenon (Cultural Competency ProviderSelf-Assessment Tool (CCPSA), n.d.). Hence, the main cultural determinants that influence nursing practice include governance, communication, language, and accountability. Overall, the social determinant of health is a key aspect in nursing that increases awareness on how different cultures impact awareness and practice.…..please click the purchase button below to access entire solution at $5
