See page 16 and 17 of attached document. Assignment labeled Genomics part 1
Patient Genetic and Genomics Interview and Education Part 1
To assess a patient’s genetic risk, you must understand the relationship of genetics and genomics to health, prevention, screening, treatment, and monitoring. E This is a two-part assignment whose purpose is to help you develop your abilities to apply genetics and genomic information while providing patient care. Purpose: Use a constructed genetic pedigree from collected family history information to identify a risk profile and develop a plan of care, including patient education and referral. Before you start this project go and register for the G3C (Global Genetics and Genomics Community) learning portal https://www.genomicscases.net/en/. The site is free and has interactive cases that demonstrate how genetic and genomics link to health and illness. Throughout each patient scenario, there are links to resources and supplemental educational activities to expand upon genetic/genomic learning concepts. At the end of each patient encounter, learners are prompted to make a recommendation to their “patient” and are assessed across multiple domains such as risk assessment, family history, and patient medical history. There are 17 cases, and you can get CEs for the activities. Part 1: a. Choose one case in the https://www.genomicscases.net/en/ and complete the activity, please submit the report given at the end of the activity. b. Select a patient that you can interview virtually. Set up a time and quiet time, go over with the patient about confidentiality, and explain that no identifiable information will be used in this assignment. c. Go to the Center for Disease Control “My Family Health Portrait: A tool from the Surgeon General at https://phgkb.cdc.gov/FHH/html/index.html d. Collect a client’s personal and three-generation family health history to assess for genomic factors that impact the client’s health ( Save the created Family Health History, please, use fictitious names, but keep the rest of the information accurate). e. Identify genetic and genomic factors within collected history and that contribute to illness and/or health risk. f. Identify issues in this patient-related to each of the following: Financial/Socioeconomics, Cultural, Religious, and Lifestyle. g. Identify ethical/legal concepts related to this patient. Include concepts Genetics/Genomics Nursing Practice. 17 h. Identify the major challenge with this patient and identified possible strategies to overcome this challenge i. Report your findings in a three-page report including the three-generation Map using APA guidelines
Grading Rubric Rating Criteria Needs Improvement 10 points Proficient 15 points Exceptional 20 points Pedigree Construction Student included most data from family members but is missing data from some individuals.

4. Videos.
5. Flyers.
Students may collaborate on a teaching & learning project. Approval of any joint project will be at the
discretion of your clinical instructor. However, each student must submit their own evidence of active
participation in the preparation, delivery, and evaluation of the project. To get credit, students must be
present on the day of the presentation.
The presentation will evaluate on creativity, achievement of learning objectives, organization, evaluation,
and adherence to the time frame allowed by your professor
Guidelines for Clinical Assignments
Assignments-All written assignments for the course will be submitted and graded by your clinical
instructor. All written documents must be typed double-spaced, in a 12-point, New Times Roman font
using the APA format. Four to six (4-6) evidenced-based references must be included in teaching projects
or as per your professor’s RUBRIC.
Personal Goals & Objectives-Each student is required to submit at least one goal and at least 3
typewritten personal behavioral objectives to his/her clinical faculty. Prior to the due date, a draft copy
may be given to your clinical professor for corrections and/or clarification. All objectives must be
finalized by the end of the third week of clinical. Behavioral objectives may be in the cognitive, affective,
and psychomotor domains. One or more of each is preferable. Document in final journals whether your
goals and objectives for the semester were achieved.
Directions
The Big Goal
To develop the Goals and Objectives for the Community Teaching project follows the following steps:
1. Analyze the problem or the issue
2. Find out what is causing concern, and break the issue down into its components “Patients with
Diabetes.”
3. Identified the Stakeholders (‘key players’ or main stakeholders and invite them to be part of the
project) “Talk to the Diabetes educator,”
4. Know your target group ( a group, for example, adolescents with type I DM)
5. Understand the characteristics of your target group “recently diagnosed diabetes patient” “Pre-
menopausal women at risk for diabetes.”
6. Determine the goals and objectives
7. Determine the result you want from your community education project. Define this in terms of a
goal, educational objectives, and desired outcomes
8. The goal or aim of your project is a broad statement of what you want to achieve
12
Example: My goal this semester is to develop an educational project to assist newly diagnosed diabetic
patients in managing their nutrition and glucose monitoring.”
Objectives
Define your educational objectives in terms of the knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and practices you
want the target group to adopt to achieve the goal.
Educational objectives:
At the end of the project, participants will:
1. verbalized increased knowledge and understanding of the diabetes disease process.
2. be able to identify the signs and symptoms of hyper and hypoglycemia.
3. be able to identify solutions to the environmental impacts
4. develop an appreciation for glycemic diet and the importance of monitoring blood glucose.
5. use of the American Diabetes Association guidelines for blood glucose control.
Design your educational project (based on evidence)
1. Make an action plan and implement it
2. Evaluate the objectives by testing or surveying the knowledge and attitudes of the participants
concerning the purposes.
Consider This:
SMART:
1. Specific: Clearly state the issue, the target group, the time and place of the activity.
2. Measurable: Be clear in the objective of what will be changed and by how much. Setting this
clearly at the start makes it easier to evaluate: Example of a measurable goal “within the next six
weeks, I will develop a health literacy program for at-risk of amputation diabetic patients in the
community. I will survey at the end of the program, 80% of participants will answer at least five
questions correctly in the survey.”
3. Achievable: Be realistic about what the project achieves in terms of the scale/scope of what is
being done, time, and resources available.
4. Relevant: Objectives need to relate to and be relevant to the goals. Remember objectives are the
building blocks/steps toward meeting the goals
5. Time Specific: Be clear in the objectives about the timeframe in which the program/activities, as
well as expected changes, will take place
Remember that the rest of the course will be used to accomplish your goal by having a clear goal.
1. Goal statements “identify” the specific target group and provide the “what” information as distinct
from the “how” the goal will be achieved or when it will come about.
2. Objectives are the building blocks or steps towards achieving a program’s goals. Objectives are
specific and concise statements that state who will make what change, by how much, where, and
by when.
Identifies the target group
States the result (change)
Specifies the degree of change in measurable terms (degree)
Identifies when the will happen (time)
Reflection Journals-Students are required to maintain a written journal of their activities within the
virtual clinical area. The journal should include meeting both the course and your personal goal (s) and
objectives.
Daily Journal format: Please follow the format and grading rubric for each reflection journal. Each
journal is unique, and the purpose is to critically think about issues that are pivotal in the role of the
13
community health nurse. Reflections must demonstrate a high degree of critical thinking in applying,
analyzing, and evaluating key course concepts and theories from readings, lectures, media, discussions
activities, and/or assignments. Insightful and relevant connections are made through contextual
explanations, inferences, and examples. Thoughtfulness is demonstrated by conveying strong evidence of
reflection on own work with a personal response to the self-assessment questions posed. Demonstrates
significant personal growth and awareness of deeper meaning through inferences made examples, well
developed insights, and substantial depth in perceptions and challenges. Synthesizes current experience
into future implications.

Community Health Teaching Project
This assignment will be submitted in 2 parts. The student will outline a Community Health Plan and
Health Education Lesson Plan for his/her community and implement this in his/her community.
Students will use the following steps to formulate a community health nursing project.
First, the student will submit a two-page proposal that follows APA reference format.
The steps are outlined below:
1. Assessment: Assess a targeted population in your community to see what needs to exist. This is done by
researching health data for your population. Make sure you select and define your community by noting
the history of your community.
2. Capture a picture of your selected community. What are the vital statistics of your community? Think
about socioeconomic statistics. What are the leading causes of death? What illnesses or diseases are
present in your community? Do citizens in your community have easy access to primary care? What are
the most prevalent health problems in your community?
3. Formulate a community health nursing diagnosis related to this health need, based on this data, what are
the strengths and needs of your community?
4. Plan community intervention. Ask yourself if this will have a positive health impact in the designated
population? How do you know?
5. Implementation. Create an educational presentation that will address the most important needs of your
population. The presentation must be arranged with your instructor. The instructor will attend your
presentation virtually or in person.
6. Evaluation: How would you evaluate your intervention
Examples for the project: Health screening, health education, getting a sidewalk or gym or rec. center
built, provide car seats for children in poverty areas, design and after-school-program for at risk students,
provide training to inmates or correctional facility staff on infection control, organize a home visitation
for at-risk teen moms, teaching nutritional cooking to moms receiving WIC, intervene in a communicable
disease outbreak situation, develop a disaster plan, STD/HIV reduction rate program in a specific
population, increase immunization rates in school-age children, Safety (texting while driving)(car
seats)(firearm)(summer), depression screening of college students, assessing client satisfaction with
public health services, obesity prevention, nutrition programs, physical fitness programs, marketing
prenatal care, CHIP (community health improvement plan), teaching parents alternative discipline
methods, tobacco cessation, etc.

Patient Genetic and Genomics Interview and Education Part 1
To assess a patient’s genetic risk, you must understand the relationship of genetics and genomics to
health, prevention, screening, treatment, and monitoring. E This is a two-part assignment whose purpose
is to help you develop your abilities to apply genetics and genomic information while providing patient
care.
Purpose: Use a constructed genetic pedigree from collected family history information to identify a risk
profile and develop a plan of care, including patient education and referral.
Before you start this project go and register for the G3C (Global Genetics and Genomics Community)
learning portal https://www.genomicscases.net/en/. The site is free and has interactive cases that
demonstrate how genetic and genomics link to health and illness. Throughout each patient scenario, there
are links to resources and supplemental educational activities to expand upon genetic/genomic learning
concepts. At the end of each patient encounter, learners are prompted to make a recommendation to their
“patient” and are assessed across multiple domains such as risk assessment, family history, and patient
medical history. There are 17 cases, and you can get CEs for the activities.
Part 1:
a. Choose one case in the https://www.genomicscases.net/en/ and complete the activity, please submit the
report given at the end of the activity.
b. Select a patient that you can interview virtually. Set up a time and quiet time, go over with the patient
about confidentiality, and explain that no identifiable information will be used in this
assignment.
c. Go to the Center for Disease Control “My Family Health Portrait: A tool from the Surgeon General
at https://phgkb.cdc.gov/FHH/html/index.html
d. Collect a client’s personal and three-generation family health history to assess for genomic factors that
impact the client’s health ( Save the created Family Health History, please, use fictitious names, but keep
the rest of the information accurate).
e. Identify genetic and genomic factors within collected history and that contribute to illness and/or health
risk.
f. Identify issues in this patient-related to each of the following: Financial/Socioeconomics, Cultural,
Religious, and Lifestyle.
g. Identify ethical/legal concepts related to this patient. Include concepts Genetics/Genomics Nursing
Practice.

Reflection Paper
The final paper will be a reflection of the student’s course participation and what was learned in the
presentations, discussions, simulations, genomics and genetics project, and the teaching project.
Reflection papers are meant to summarize your impressions of a course in a few short pages (two- pages
) . They answer three basic questions: What, Why, and How. Most of the paper is aimed at explaining
Why what you’ve learned was important and valuable. Finally, the conclusion demonstrates How the
course influenced you, as well as How you’re going to use the material in the future.
In this final reflection paper, students are responsible for:
1. How were your personal learning objectives accomplished?
2. How did the course activities connect with the assignments done throughout the semester? Does
it affirm, challenge, illustrate the concepts and strategies of community health nursing?
3. What is your personal definition of service learning and your role in the community?
4. What is your personal definition of behavioral change? Do you feel the service you provided as a
community nurse brings some form of behavioral change and why?
5. Please post a photograph/picture along with a summary describing how the photo/picture relates
to your clinical experience and learning. Focus on metaphors, feelings, and how the experience
reminded you of a prior experience.
