How NURS 440 Week 6 Community Assessment Part 3 is graded
Liberty grades Community Assessment Part 3 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% of the course's 1,010 points. Read the rubric first. Each row is a criterion, and the wording of the highest column is the closest thing you have to a model answer.
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 6 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
List the facts of the case first. Analysis that rests on a misread detail is the most common way case answers lose points.
Name the central problem
Decide what the core problem is and say it plainly. The rest of the analysis should be organized around it.
Apply the course framework
Use the model or concepts from Post-licensure Strategies for Community Health Care to analyze the case. Name the framework, then work through it with the case facts, step by step.
Weigh the options
Lay out two or three realistic options, with the benefit and the cost of each. Graders look for judgment, which means showing what you rejected and why.
Recommend and justify
Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (Cite your data and evidence in current APA). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.
Answer every question asked
Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within ADPIE section of 300 to 450 words; full assessment 11 to 15 pages.
A structure for NURS 440 Week 6 Community Assessment Part 3
Word targets are planning numbers for about 900 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Community diagnosis 1 | Risk or problem, population, related factors and evidence. | ~180 words |
| Community diagnosis 2 | The second diagnosis in the same format. | ~180 words |
| ADPIE for one diagnosis | Assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation in 300 to 450 words. | ~540 words |
A topic angle that works
Write community diagnoses in the standard form: risk of (problem) among (population) related to (factors) as demonstrated in (data). Then choose the diagnosis with the clearest data and a realistic intervention for the ADPIE plan.
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.
Diagnosis: risk of falls with injury among adults over 65 in the community related to limited transportation, unsafe walking routes and lack of home safety resources, as demonstrated in rising fall-related emergency visits and resident interviews.1 Planning: within six months, reduce reported falls among senior center participants by 20 percent through home safety checks and a strength and balance class.2 Evaluation: compare self-reported falls from a center survey at baseline and six months.3
