NURS FPX 4060 Assessment 4: Health Promotion Plan Presentation

Hi, I am Maria Nicole, Welcome to today’s presentation on the topic of the Health Promotion Plan that we discussed in the first assessment. In this presentation, we’ll talk about the patient Sarah who is a 32-year-old graphic designer, and has had the addiction for the past eight years.

Scenario and Context

In this presentation, I will discuss patient Sarah, a 32-year-old graphic designer residing in an urban community. Despite her vibrant career and active social life, Sarah has been grappling with a persistent smoking addiction for nearly a decade. Her daily routine involves using cigarettes as a coping mechanism for work-related stress and personal challenges. Sarah is keenly aware of the adverse health effects of smoking, experiencing chronic coughing and shortness of breath. Compounded by the fact that many in her social circle are smokers, Sarah faces the normalization of tobacco use in her immediate environment, adding an extra layer of complexity to her struggle with addiction. Looking ahead, Sarah’s continued smoking poses potential future harmful effects on her health. Prolonged exposure to tobacco smoke may elevate her risk of developing serious health conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cardiovascular diseases, and an increased susceptibility to various cancers.

Additionally, the financial strain associated with sustained smoking and the evolving societal norms regarding tobacco use may contribute to social isolation and impact Sarah’s overall well-being. To address the pervasive issue of smoking addiction, the Healthy People 2030 agenda in the US plays a crucial role. This framework advocates for evidence-based smoking cessation programs, heightened accessibility to support services, and targeted educational campaigns. By endorsing policies like increased tobacco taxes and comprehensive smoke-free legislation, the agenda strives to create an environment conducive to smoking cessation (Linnan et al., 2019). Through collaborative initiatives involving healthcare providers, communities, and policymakers, Healthy People 2030 aims to implement a multifaceted, comprehensive strategy to decrease smoking addiction, thereby contributing to the overall improvement of public health in the United States.

The Plan Based on Specific, Identified Health Needs and Goals

To address Sarah’s specific health needs and goals related to smoking addiction, a comprehensive health promotion plan is essential. The plan focuses on evidence-based interventions tailored to her individual circumstances, aiming to reduce her daily cigarette intake and enhance access to smoking cessation resources. Nurses play a crucial role in supporting individuals like Sarah on their journey to smoking cessation. As frontline healthcare providers, nurses can engage in health education, delivering personalized information to enhance Sarah’s understanding of the health risks associated with smoking (Bazargan et al. 2020).. Additionally, nurses can provide counseling services, assisting Sarah in developing coping mechanisms for stress without resorting to smoking. Their role extends to collaborating with other healthcare professionals to ensure a holistic approach to Sarah’s well-being, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.

SMART Goals in the Health Promotion Plan

The health promotion plan incorporates SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals to guide the intervention process. Firstly, Sarah’s goal is to reduce her daily cigarette intake by 30% within the next three months. This goal is specific to her current smoking habits, measurable through regular assessments, achievable through evidence-based interventions, relevant to her overall health, and time-bound to ensure ongoing progress monitoring. Secondly, the plan aims for a 25% increase in Sarah’s accessibility to smoking cessation resources within the next six months. This goal is specific to addressing her support needs, measurable through improved resource utilization, achievable through enhanced service accessibility, relevant to her quitting journey, and time-bound to facilitate timely improvements in her smoking cessation efforts (Nguyen et al. 2020). By adhering to SMART criteria, the health promotion plan for Sarah ensures a targeted, effective, and time-sensitive approach to addressing her specific health goals related to smoking addiction.
