Discussion: Unit 6, Due Wednesday by 11:59 pm CT

Breast Exams

Instructions

It is anticipated that the initial discussion response should be in the range of 250-300 words. Response posts must demonstrate topic knowledge and scholarly engagement with peers. This is not the only criteria utilized for evaluation; substantive content is imperative. All questions in the topic must be addressed. Please proofread your response carefully for grammar and spelling. Do not upload any attachments. All responses need to be supported by a minimum of one scholarly resource. Journals and websites must be cited appropriately. Citation and reference must adhere to APA format (6th Ed.).

Classroom Participation

Students are expected to initially address the discussion question by Wednesday of each week. Participation in the discussion forums is expected with a minimum total of three (3) substantive postings (this includes your initial posting and posting to two peers) on three (3) different days per week. Substantive means that you add something new to the discussion, you aren’t just agreeing. This is also a time to ask questions or offer information surrounding the topic addressed by your peers. Personal experience is appropriate for a substantive discussion and should be correlated to the literature.

All discussion boards will be evaluated utilizing rubric criterion inclusive of content, analysis, collaboration, writing and APA. If you fail to post an initial discussion you will not receive these points, you may however post to your peers for partial credit following the guidelines above. Due to the nature of this type of assignment and the need for timely responses for initial posts and posting to peers, the Make-Up Coursework Policy (effective July 2017) does not apply to Discussion Board Participation.

Discussion Prompt [Due Wednesday]

Select ONE of the questions listed below and create a substantive initial post. Please post the question number you chose in the title of your post. (i.e. Question 2 Breast Exam)  

  1. Detail the routine health periodicity for the gynecologic and clinical breast exam.  What health factors are utilized to determine the need for a Pap test? When is the Pap test no longer necessary?
  2. When is the ideal time to complete a clinical breast exam?  What steps would you follow for concerning findings on the clinical breast exam? What age or risk factors indicate the need for a mammogram?

Wearable Devices- FIT BIT 

Overview: For this milestone, due in Module Five, you will submit a draft of the Plan section of your presentation. In this section, you will create the visual facet of your final project presentation. Keep in mind that in Module Six you will be submitting Milestone Four, which is the oral narration component, and your voice will be the primary carrier of your message and the visuals will play a supporting role. You want your voice and visuals to work together and not compete for attention, so you should minimize the number of words on each slide and maximize the use of visual elements, including photographs, illustrations, and graphs. You will submit this milestone as two documents: a presentation draft in PowerPoint that will include visuals and a Word document with your speaker notes. Milestone Three provides you with an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your final project submission. 

Prompt: In this milestone, you will start assembling your multimedia presentation. Create a multimedia presentation draft using visuals* to articulate your plan to address the issue you described in Milestone Two. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

III. Plan: For this part of the assessment, you will offer recommendations and a plan to improve your chosen issue as well as strategies for implementing your plan.

A. Explain the goals of your plan. What are the specific goals you are trying to accomplish with your plan?

B. Make recommendations for how the current issue could be addressed in order to minimize its impact on the target population. Think of specificstrategies or tactics that you could implement to address the issue.

C. Consider the implications of social attitudes and individual choices to lifelong health and wellness. If you were in charge of addressing yourchosen issue, what challenges would you face when implementing your plan? How would you address those challenges? Support your answerwith relevant research or diverse perspectives.

D. Explain the strengths of your plan and why it is likely it would be successful.

PowerPoint: You are required to include a combination of text, visuals, and speaker notes in order to support your PowerPoint presentation. Use the Check File Compatibility With Earlier Versions and Are You Having Video or Audio Playback Issues? resources to help you check compatibility between versions of Office. Also, follow the instructions on the Microsoft Support page to compress your presentation as a zipped file. Upload the zipped file when submitting Milestone Three. Reducing the size of the presentation file by compressing it will make it easier for your instructor to download and grade your presentation.

*Note: The final presentation requires the use of both visuals and audio. In Module Four, you practiced adding audio to a PowerPoint slide to prepare for Milestone Four’s oral narration of your presentation.

RubricGuidelines for Submission: Milestone Three should be approximately 4 to 5 presentation slides in length with 2 to 3 pages of speaker notes. The speaker notes should be submitted in a separate Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins. You are required to include a     combination of text and visuals in order to support your work. Cite your supporting sources in APA or MLA format. 

4. Describe at least one technology that may be used as a solution to the patient situation or condition described in your case.
