Description
Please be sure to complete the readings in the text before submitting your initial post. In our textbook, Rector and Stanley (2022), several models of population health are included. Please see models: Fig.1-3, Fig. 1-5, Fig. 9-1 and Fig 9-2 in chapters one and nine (pages 8, 11, 245 and 246). This discussion asks you to consider your preceptor’s role and the setting of your practicum experience in the context of one of these models. The engagement of these models is a preliminary step in module one and relevant concepts will be further explored in subsequent modules. Directions:Describe the site for your community health practicum. (My site is with People with developmental disability)Explain the origin of this setting and its historical context (why did it develop, how long has it existed, what is its mission). Briefly note how this relates to a historical aspect of nursing as a profession. Identify the primary client(s) of your practicum – who is being served? Can you identify a primary population served?Explain the role of your preceptor in promoting the health of the community or population(s). Relate this work and the practicum setting to one of the public/population health models presented in the reading. Please identify one model and briefly discuss where and how does the work of the preceptor and the clinical site fit might fit with the model?
