u04a1 - Patient, Family, or Population Health Problem Solution

Learner: Eduardo , Torres

OVERALL COMMENTS

Hi Eduardo.

Thank you for your work on your professional product of a substance abuse awareness brochure.   I think you did a

very nice job of describing the creation and evaluation of your professional product.  I like that you included ideas

about how drug and alcohol misuse can be reduced with the help of effective policies and programs in your

explanation. This is so important and is often overlooked. I made a few recommendations on how some criteria might

achieve a higher performance score. I hope you have an opportunity to share the outcomes of your practicum

experience at a nursing conference. This would be a great way to share nursing knowledge. You ARE approved to

share your problem solution/product with your identified stakeholders.

I look forward to hearing about the feedback you receive, but please note this should be at least 24 hours

from the time you receive feedback from me from this Assessment so I know you have honestly implemented

your project to your population before providing that feedback in your video reflection for Assessment

5. Thanks for your understanding, Dr. Heidi

**As a reminder, this Assessment is Satisfactory, if you decide to resubmit for a higher grade, please

highlight your changes in yellow so I do not miss any of your hard work and great additions and

corrections. Thanks so much!
