Description

Individual Screening

Directions

Review the clinician provider guidelines and recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force A and B Recommendations. https://www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org/Page/Name/uspstf-a-and-b-recommendations/

For the MSN prepared nurse, knowledge of epidemiology and its application to preventive screening guidelines is important in many clinical areas: administrative, education, and nurse practitioner fields. Consider you are working in a clinic and need to order a preventive screening on a patient for Lung cancer. (While this is a preventative measure, it also can be a diagnostic tool in other circumstances. For this Assignment the screening is a secondary prevention measure.)

Your screening methodology must come from the United States Preventive Services Task Force guidelines.

Find the Final Recommendation Summary for the screening you are evaluating. Explain the guideline, the correct application of the screening, and the epidemiology behind the guidance. Content should include epidemiologic data such as statistical information as available ex. morbidity, mortality, incidence and prevalence of condition. Identify the methodology and measures for screening. Include the risk factors, risk assessment, testing interval, description of the patient population,screening test recommendations and other factors relative to the guideline. Discuss the guideline’s support in a critical analysis, based on the outcomes of studies used in the screening guidance publication. What key factors are supported by evidence, such as age, methods, measures and intervals? Consider using the rubric sections as level one headings within the paper.

Master’s-prepared nurse educators, leaders, nurse practitioners and all specialty nursing fields are contributors to health promotion in populations across the life span. You will demonstrate understanding and correct interpretations of preventive screening guidelines. You should be able to apply this knowledge to your specialty focus as it relates to health promotion and epidemiology.

This paper should be 3–4 pages, excluding your title page, and references. This paper should adhere to appropriate APA formatting and citation style.

Lung Cancer Screening
Introduction

Numerous researches indicate that lung cancer is the leading cause of death from cancerrelated mortality worldwide. In particular, more people die each year from the condition compared
to other types of cancers combined. Despite the change in diagnostic methodologies, the overall
five-year survival rate has remained the same over the last few decades. The United States
Preventive Service Task Force A and B provide a guideline for lung cancer screening to reduce
the mortality rates and improve the survival for lung cancer patients. The paper provides an
overview of the USPSTF recommendation of lung cancer screening, epidemiology, incidence, and
specific methodologies for screening.
Condition and Type of Screening Methodology
Lung cancer has been recognized as one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in 8the United States over the past few decades. Lung cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the
lungs and spreads to other parts of the body. Although smokers have more risk of developing lung
cancer, the condition can also occur in people who have never smoked. The disease does not
indicate signs and symptoms in its early stages but mostly occur at an advanced phase of the
condition. Specific symptoms comprise a new cough that does not stop, coughing up blood
regardless of the amount, and chest pains that worsen when one breathes deeply coughs, or laughs
(Mustafa et al., 2016). The screening process detects the presence of lung cancer in otherwise
healthy individuals. Screening is recommended for individuals who have a history of smoking and
do not indicate any signs or symptoms of the condition. The specific methodology used to screen
