What NURS 440 Week 2 Cultural Assessment Group Project Part 1 asks for
In Module/Week 2 you self-enroll in a group based on a culture to research and present.

Worth 15 points.
Where it fits in NURS 440
In the published schedule, Cultural Assessment Group Project Part 1 is one of 14 graded written assignments in NURS 440. It follows Week 1 Discussion Board Forum 1 and comes before Week 2 Health Education Program Part 1. The same week also has Health Education Program Part 1 and Community Assessment Part 1, so plan the week's writing together.
How NURS 440 Week 2 Cultural Assessment Group Project Part 1 is graded
Liberty grades Cultural Assessment Group Project Part 1 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 15 points in the published guide. That is about 1% of the course's 1,010 points. Open the rubric before you draft and read across each row: the top column describes what full credit looks like, and the gap between columns tells you what costs points.
Course grades in NURS 440 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 900 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week (except Module/Week 1) begins on Tuesday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Monday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 440 Week 2 method, step by step
See where this piece sits in the project
Cultural Assessment Group Project Part 1 is one stage of a larger project. Read the full project description first so this stage feeds the final submission instead of standing alone.
Choose a subject you can research
Pick a real organization, product or setting with enough public information to support every stage. A subject that runs out of data halfway through is hard to recover.
Answer the questions this stage asks
Turn each question in the stage instructions into a heading and answer it with specifics about your subject, not general theory.
Apply the course model
Bring in the course framework the stage expects and apply it explicitly to your subject's facts.
Support with sources
Cite the facts you use (At least 2 citations in current APA). Industry reports, filings and journal articles carry more weight than websites with no author.
Format, length and teamwork
Check length (Team contract and outline, no length set in the guide) and APA. For group stages, split the sections early and leave a day for one person to unify the voice.
A structure for NURS 440 Week 2 Cultural Assessment Group Project Part 1
Word targets are planning numbers for about 400 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.

| Stage questions | Each question in the instructions, answered with specifics. | ~190 words |

A topic angle that works
Use the team contract to prevent the usual problems: deadlines two days before the real ones, a rule for missed contributions and one person responsible for citations. In the outline, name specific nursing actions for the culture, not general respect.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
Role of the community health nurse with Hmong families: build trust through community leaders and clan elders before offering services, since decisions are often made collectively.1 Provide interpreters rather than relying on children, and learn traditional beliefs about illness so care plans can work alongside them.2 Christian worldview: honoring each person as made in God's image means respecting cultural practices that do not cause harm while offering the best evidence-based care.3
- Names a specific nursing action for the culture.
