1. Pick a topic that applies to an adult through out the lifespan. You should choose a topic that affects your area of specialty focus as it relates to health promotion and epidemiology.

2. In a 3-4 page paper explain/state the following:

– The influence of socioeconomic status (SES), culture, gender, ethnicity, and spirituality on mental and physical health, as it relates specifically to age in adulthood.

– What inter professional resources and exist for the topic?

– The adult lifespan, young, middle and older adult, related risks to the issue should be addressed. (This topic is for the adult population, not adolescents).

– Are there interventions that benefit the outcome? Consider physiological, psychological and/ or iatrogenic risks.

– Epidemiological support should be included in the paper.

– Consider life transitions and role change. Be sure to include behaviors affecting the risks for the issue or topic, addressing this across the adult lifespan.

In this unit, you will examine global trends and directions for health promotion and disease prevention, including malnutrition, emerging infections, violence, terrorism, and natural disasters.

Current emerging health care reform efforts pose significant challenges and opportunities for health care providers, educators, and researchers. With the increased ability for individuals or families to travel globally, comes the potential spread of diseases and/or infections. Human rights, cultural diversity, and cultural sensitivity considerations will figure prominently in emerging global health issues. Many diseases are no longer isolated to a singular community or, country. Diseases such as Zika, Ebola virus, and Human Immunodeficiency Virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV), are found globally. Bioterrorism, and terrorism are growing concerns of every country. The resulting impact on health can be tremendous for both individuals and entire communities.

Master’s-prepared nurse educators, leaders, nurse practitioners and all specialty nursing fields are contributors to health promotion in populations across the life span. This Assignment is focused on the adult. You should choose a topic that affects your area of specialty focus as it relates to health promotion and epidemiology.
