The purpose of this assignment is to provide the learner an opportunity to design a health promotion proposal specific to your role specialization (primary care FNP).
Each group will write a scholarly paper that demonstrates graduate school level writing and critical analysis of existing nursing knowledge. The paper will be a minimum of 12 pages and maximum of 15 pages, using APA style.
Choosing Your Topic
Go to Healthy People 2030 (https://health.gov/healthypeople). Next click on the “Objectives and Data” tab and select a topic for your health promotion proposal.

Based on this objective you would develop a more specific evidence-based intervention such as teaching older adults how to manage their diabetes.
