Week 1 Assignment
VARK Analysis Paper
Learning styles represent the different approaches to learning
based on preferences, weaknesses, and strengths. For learners to best achieve
the desired educational outcome, learning styles must be considered when
creating a plan. Complete "The VARK Questionnaire," located on the
VARK website, and then complete the following:
Click "OK" to receive your questionnaire scores.
Once you have determined your preferred learning style,
review the corresponding link to view your learning preference.
Review the other learning styles: visual, aural, read/write,
kinesthetic, and multimodal (listed on the VARK Questionnaire Results page).
Compare your current preferred learning strategies to the
identified strategies for your preferred learning style.
Examine how awareness of learning styles has influenced your
perceptions of teaching and learning.
In a paper (750-1,000 words), summarize your analysis of
this exercise and discuss the overall value of learning styles. Include the
following:
Provide a summary of your learning style according the VARK
questionnaire.
Describe your preferred learning strategies. Compare your
current preferred learning strategies to the identified strategies for your
preferred learning style.
Describe how individual learning styles affect the degree to
which a learner can understand or perform educational activities. Discuss the
importance of an educator identifying individual learning styles and
preferences when working with learners.
Discuss why understanding the learning styles of individuals
participating in health promotion is important to achieving the desired
outcome. How do learning styles ultimately affect the possibility for a
behavioral change? How would different learning styles be accommodated in
health promotion?

Week 2 Assignment
Family Health Assessment Part I
Understanding family structure and style is essential to
patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment
gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to
health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies
for support and guidance.
This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The
information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the
second assignment in Topic 3.
Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a
family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three
open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for
each of the following:
Values/Health Perception
Nutrition
Sleep/Rest
Elimination
Activity/Exercise
Cognitive
Sensory-Perception
Self-Perception
Role Relationship
Sexuality
Coping
Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission
from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions
complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional
assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.
Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word
paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an
appendix with your assignment.
Include the following in your paper:
Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any
relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social
class, spirituality, and environment.
Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family.
Describe the current health of the family.
Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional
health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which
health problems or barriers to health were identified.
Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit
changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the
overall family functions over time.
Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to

Family Assessment Part II
Refer back to the interview and evaluation you conducted in
the Topic 2 Family Health Assessment assignment. Identify the social
determinates of health (SDOH) contributing to the family's health status. In a
750-1,000-word paper, create a plan of action to incorporate health promotion
strategies for this family. Include the following:
Describe the SDOH that affect the family health status. What
is the impact of these SDOH on the family? Discuss why these factors are
prevalent for this family.
Based on the information gathered through the family health
assessment, recommend age-appropriate screenings for each family member.
Provide support and rationale for your suggestions.
Choose a health model to assist in creating a plan of
action. Describe the model selected. Discuss the reasons why this health model
is the best choice for this family. Provide rationale for your reasoning.
Using the model, outline the steps for a family-centered
health promotion. Include strategies for communication.

Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native
Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy
People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health
status for this group.
In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the
health status of your selected minority group to the national average. Include

culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
What health promotion activities are often practiced by this
group?
Describe at least one approach using the three levels of
health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely
to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority
group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most
effective choice.
What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when
creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support
culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?
