Signature Assignment
Understanding disease conditions specific to advanced primary care is vital to ensure proper and timely diagnosis and treatment to improve healthcare outcomes for the patient. The purpose of this assignment is to evaluate one disease condition in the adult population and explore current evidence-based guidelines and treatments to determine a proper plan of care.
This assignment will focus on the following course student learning outcomes (CSLO):
1.

2. Examine the principles and theories applicable to risk assessment and primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention for the promotion of optimum health of clients experiencing chronic or multisystem health problems (EOPSLO# 3 and 8).
3. Compare and contrast the possible interrelationships and impact of demographic characteristics, health beliefs, values, family situations, environment and community resources on the incidence and management outcome of chronic and some acute conditions of adult clients (EOPSLO # 2, 6, 7, and 9)
4. Incorporate epidemiological, social, and environmental research data in the assessment, holistic planning and outcome evaluation of interventions aimed at the diagnosis and management of the adult client’s health/illness status, with emphasis on common chronic illnesses of adult individuals of diverse ethnic and cultural groups (EOPSLO # 6, 7, and 9).
5.
