• At least 55 years or older
• USE INITIALS ONLY to preserve anonymity of patient/family (no identifying information)
• Someone who agrees to be interviewed and work with you (in person) on this project

2. Analyze the health assessment data and develop a plan of action. Talk to your “patient” about ideas for the health plan.Apply theoretical concepts to the plan. The plan of action needs to be focused on health promotion, modification of risk factors and/or disease prevention using evidence from at least 3 sources of professional health care literature (professional, refereed articles).

6.Present your results in a concise manner by developing an online power point presentation. Post your power point (5-11 slides). The presentation should be a clear description of the steps of the project and the community resources you investigated. Project needs to be organized in a way that communicates your findings in a logical manner.

8.Include a slide that lists the references used in preparing your presentation and cite information appropriately using APA format for citing references. This is in addition to the required 5-11 slides.
