Final Project Component 1
Health educators may be involved in the analysis of a case study to demonstrate how they will implement strategies to address a health issue for a given population. Within a case study, you will find extensive health information that may support the strategies which a health educator may recommend for this health issue. Or, you may find that a different or alternative strategy not mentioned in the case study is supported by the health information provided. Thus, as a future health educator, your health literacy skills whereby you filter, analyze, and interpret health-related information, will be important when reviewing a case study. Furthermore, you may also find that health literacy skills are important when engaged in research and identification of potential sources to assist in your recommendations for health education practice.
Note: In grading this Assignment, your Instructor uses the Final Project Components Rubric, located in the Course Information area. Review the Rubric prior to completing your Assignment.
Describe the health issue that you selected from the case study, including an explanation of why this health issue is important for the health education profession.
Describe how this health issue should be addressed through a specific health education program.

Select a patient factor: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
Review the “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis.
Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:
Compare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis.

Construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper. ((This maps on separate pages in continuation of the essay))

This section consists of narrative descriptions of each study that forms the body of evidence. The length of this section will vary based on the number of studies that you include. The paper should be written in a scholarly fashion using APA format. For each article include in the narrative:
Authors’ names, date of publication (included in the citation).
Quality and level of evidence
How significant (or not) the evidence is and why you think so. How are these articles relevant to change practice or policy for your specific practice site and population? If a study is not significant and you have included it, mention how your clinical expertise was involved in this decision.
Your summary the synthesis section should clearly indicate the intervention you plan to use in your project proposal. You will discuss this in greater detail in the next section, but do leave the reader with the understanding of the intervention you chose.
You will also turn in your completed Synthesis Table(s) that will become part of your Appendix in your final paper.
