Health Promotion Plan

For this assessment, plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience focused on health promotion associated with a specific community health concern or health need. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group participation, and this assessment will also provide the foundation for the implementation of your health promotion educational plan in Assessment 4.

Before you complete the detailed instructions in the courseroom, first review the specific community health concerns or health needs below and select one to be the focus of your assessment. Each of these health concerns has broad implications not only for the individuals directly affected but also for the community at large in terms of healthcare costs, societal well- being, and overall quality of life.

• Sudden Infant Death (SID): The unexplained death, usually during sleep, of a seemingly healthy baby less than a year old.
o Potential Health Impacts: Beyond the immediate loss, parents and families experience profound grief and may suffer from guilt or depression.

• Immunization: The process by which an individual’s immune system becomes fortified against an agent through vaccines.
o Potential Health Impacts: Immunization prevents many illnesses, disabilities, and deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases. Communities with low immunization rates are at risk for outbreaks.

• Tobacco Cessation: The process of discontinuing tobacco smoking and includes vaping, e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, and traditional smoking.
o Potential Health Impacts: Tobacco use can lead to various cancers, heart disease, stroke, and lung diseases. Cessation reduces these risks and can improve quality of life.
