Usability
When health websites were evaluated by both usability experts and older adults, they agreed on many problem areas such as difficulty finding drop-down menus, too much information on the screen, too small a font size, lack of instructions for playing video, and navigation problems (Nahm et al., 2004). To avoid usability issues, a sampling of the intended audience should review the website; their feedback will allow you to identify and correct any problems. Although healthcare providers can evaluate the web content, the intended audience should conduct the usability testing. The National Institute on Aging and the National Institutes of Health have published guidelines on how to make a website senior friendly (National Institute on Aging & National Library of Medicine, 2002). Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a website dedicated to assist web designers to address usability issues (HHS.gov, 2018, January 4).
CASE STUDY
The nursing student is conducting a community assessment, which is an assignment for a Community Nursing course. Assessment of health literacy is one of the components for the community assessment.
What populations are at risk for low health literacy?
What are three indicators for low health literacy?
Who is responsible for improving the health literacy in the community?
How can healthcare providers assist clients with low health literacy?
2.You are the nurse in a surgical center. A patient arrives with a printout of the complications of the surgery for which he or she is scheduled. Additionally, the information advocates alternative treatments. Discuss how you can work with this patient.
3.Find a high-quality web-based support group for a client with a condition of your choice and outline how you would teach the client about this site.
4.You are a nurse practitioner. The clinic where you are working wants to institute providing an online support group. What things would you want to consider?
5.Evaluate two health websites using a you created or found with a search engine. Score the website using the rubric. What were the strengths and limitations? Discuss your findings.
Identify your problem in PICO format or as a hypothesis format this should identify an intervention being assessed to address the problem
Collect five (5) research studies (no older than 5 years) on a nursing intervention.
Only use these five (5) articles in your review of literature. These studies must be research in nature, no systematic reviews, how to, or other articles may be used.
Use the Research Summary Table Template to develop your table. Consulting the research articles and fill in the table in your own words.
In syllabus, page 7 and 8, you can find the instructions for the paper. Must use references from healthy people 2030 and textbook Theoretical basis for nursing (5th edition).
Syllabus pasted below:
Patterns of Knowing Paper (20%): Three (3) pages excluding title page and references. No abstract required. Upload the paper including the title page and reference page(s) into Blackboard. Review the directions regarding Safe Assign on Blackboard. Minimum of three (3) references including the text and Healthy People 2030 website.
Reflect on your practice and select an experience that you had with a patient or family and explore the five fundamental patterns of knowing (ethical, personal, aesthetic, empirical, emancipatory) exemplified with the experience. Develop a paper that includes the following:
Introduction (15 points) – Briefly introduce the paper ending the introduction with a purpose statement (The purpose of this paper is to…)
Description of the experience (20 points) – In one paragraph, describe the experience including who was present, what was happening, who you were engaged with, and what you were thinking, doing, and saying. Include background information as appropriate.
Patterns of Knowing (50 points) – Briefly define each pattern of knowing (sentence or two). Explain how each pattern was evident in the experience. If any of the patterns were not evident (for example, if the Emancipatory Pattern of Knowing was not evident) state that it was not evident and propose what could have happened in the experience for it to be evident.
Social Determinants of Health Problem (5 points) – Identify a Social Determinants of Health problem that was evident in the experience or could have been part of the experience and propose a solution to it. It is important for nurses to examine and address social justice issues for populations that are underserved or poorly served by the healthcare community.
Conclusions (10 points) – Completely summarize your thoughts without introducing new content.
APA – This paper must be presented in an organized and scholarly fashion following APA 7th edition guidelines. Up to seven (7) points can be deducted for the following:

A learner asks for an extension for a written assignment. The learner states that he has just started chemotherapy for cancer and has not felt well, and that three more days would really make a huge difference.
You grant the extension. It is now two days past the extension deadline and no assignment has been submitted.
You contact the learner who says that he has missed the extended deadline because of illness, and he asks if he could have just one more day.
You grant this, but identify there will be no more extensions. Another learner tells you that the first learner is lying—there is no cancer. What is your action?

Students will identify a problem in nursing practice of personal or professional interest, through the completion of the Nursing Problem (Topic) WebQuest. Students will then gather background information, and statistics to support the relevance of the chosen problem to professional nursing practice. Students will conduct a database search to locate appropriate research studies which will help the nurse address the problem in Writing Assignment 1.
This assignment requires a minimum of 2 typed, double spaced pages in APA format. Written feedback will be provided by the faculty and returned to the student. Students will be required to complete one revision of this paper based on the feedback, and will resubmit the assignment in order to receive a grade.
