The purpose of this assignment is to create a visual map that connects the work of the course (assignments,
readings, discussion board, internet reviews , etc.) to all of the objectives specified below.
Take some time now to mindfully reflect over the assignments, readings, discussion board, and web site
exploration activities of the course, Population Health, Epidemiology, and Statistical Principles. Next, take a
look at the written directions for the assignment and the rubric for the assignment. You will be constructing a
Concept M ap that relates (connects) the activities of the course to all of the outcome objectives provided for
you in the Requirements section below.
Activity Learning Outcomes
Synthesize knowledge of population health to the role of political advocacy as an Advanced Practice Nurse.
Requirements
The Concept Map must visually connect all of the specified objectives (Program Outcomes, MSN Essentials,
and NONPF Competencies) to course work (such as specific discussion board topics, written assignments,
exams, lessons, and reading content).
All items should be labeled, for instance, label the objectives and label the course work you select with name of
the assignment/reading/discussion board topic and which week it was introduced.
Use Microsoft Word or a PowerPoint to create a Concept Map. You can use the features found on the “Insert”
tab of a Word doc (in the horizontal ribbon on the top of a Word doc page). For instance, if you click on “insert”
you will see shapes and SmartArt. You can use a PowerPoint slide with shapes and lines to create a
concept/mind map. This is not a PowerPoint presentation , but a PowerPoint slide can be used to “draw” the
Map.
Outcomes/Competencies to be connected with course learning:
MSN Program Outcome #2:
Create a caring environment for achieving quality health outcomes (Care-Focused).
MSN Essential VIII:
Clinical Prevention and Population Health for Improving Health
National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Competencies #4: Practice Inquiry Competencies
Recognizes that the master’s-prepared nurse applies and integrates broad, organizational, client-centered, and
culturally appropriate concepts in the planning, delivery, management, and evaluation of evidence-based
clinical prevention and population care and services to individuals, families, and aggregates/identified
populations.
Your Concept Map will visually depict how you see the assignments of the course meeting the outcomes
above.
