Purpose of Assessment 2
In this assessment, you take the health issue you identified in Assessment 1 and design a specific, evidence-based intervention to address it. This is your blueprint for the actual health promotion activity you’ll implement later in Assessment 3.
Core Requirements
Your plan should:
- Identify the Health Issue & Target Population
- Briefly restate the problem NURS FPX from Assessment 1 (e.g., type 2 diabetes prevention in middle-aged adults).
- Provide a short summary of the target audience’s demographics, needs, and barriers to health.
- Define Your Health Goals & Objectives
- Goal = Broad, overarching aim of your intervention.
Example: “Reduce the incidence of obesity-related complications in adults aged 40–60.” - Objectives = Specific, measurable steps toward the goal.
Example: “By the end of the 6-week program, participants will demonstrate a 20% increase in healthy meal planning skills.”
- Goal = Broad, overarching aim of your intervention.
- Describe the Intervention
- Type of Intervention: Education session, screening event, skills workshop, community outreach, etc.
- Format & Delivery: In-person, online, group class, one-on-one coaching.
- Content: Summarize key educational messages, skills, or resources you’ll provide.
- Resources Needed: Materials, space, equipment, staff.
- Length & Frequency: How long each session lasts and how often you’ll meet.
- Incorporate Evidence-Based Practices
- Support your plan with 3–5 scholarly sources showing that the chosen intervention is effective for similar populations.
- Use current research (within 5 years).
- Address Cultural & Ethical Considerations
- Adapt materials for language, literacy, and cultural relevance.
- Ensure inclusivity and accessibility.
- Discuss ethical obligations (confidentiality, informed consent, respectful care).
- Set an Evaluation Plan
- Describe how you will measure success.
- Use both process measures (e.g., number of attendees, completion rates) and outcome measures (e.g., changes in knowledge, behaviors, biometric data).
- Include a short timeline for data collection and analysis.

✅ Pro Tip: If you write this with Assessments 3–5 in mind, you can reuse large sections later (especially the target population, objectives, and intervention description) to save time.
If you want, I can draft you a ready-to-fill APA template for NURS FPX 4015 Assessment 2 so you can plug in your health topic and data directly. That way, you’ll have a polished submission framework. Would you like me to create that for you?
