Performing health assessments as an APRN will help you to develop a collaborative partnership with your
patients. After reading Chapter 4 and 12 in your Pender text, think about the vulnerable population that you
choose during Week 1 - consider what you perceive / know about this group in relation to the following
topics:
Health assets
Health problems
Health-related lifestyle strengths
Key health-related beliefs
Health behaviors that put the person at risk
Changes that could improve their quality of life
Now consider the pros and cons of implementing a Community-Based Participatory Research health
promotion project with the vulnerable group. You should consider not only the benefit of the actions but the
active role the vulnerable will play in the development and implementation of the health promotion plan.
How does your population’s health disparities and health inequities benefit and/or hinder this type of
project’s success? Remember that you should include citations/references from at least three scholarly
sources
