Program outcome 1: demonstrate foundational knowledge of health promotion and disease prevention.
I have noticed that I had a theme running thru my papers over the years. I selected topics that are pertinent to my everyday working life. I primarily work with frail and elderly. The second paper that i have chosen for this particular outcome is on Obesity and the elderly. I am able to lay the foundation for this health topic and the basic steps that can be taken in a community prevention program specifically targeted at the elderly. This was one of the projects that I completed that assisted in leading me on a path towards addressing this problem, not only in my patients, but also in my own life. This project clearly demonstrates the first outcome of the program. I give Three theories and the functional rational for why and how they are appropriate for a community health intervention. I am able to clearly define and support a community program with workable solutions and good documentation to back up the conclusions I have drawn in the paper. This is demonstrated by the use of a control group to plainly highlight the success of the prevention program. To see this paper please click here.Activity 1.2
