Individual Screening

Directions

Review the clinician provider guidelines and recommendations found at:

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality [AHRQ]. (2014). Guide to clinical preventive services. Retrieved from: https://www.ahrq.gov/professionals/clinicians-prov...

and also at:

The guide to clinical preventive services. (2014, May). Recommendations of the U.S. preventive services task force. Retrieved from https://www.ahrq.gov/sites/default/files/wysiwyg/p...

For the MSN prepared nurse, knowledge of epidemiology and its application to preventive screening guidelines is important in many clinical areas; administrative, informatics, education and nurse practitioner fields. Consider you are working in a clinic and need to order a preventive screening on a patient for one of the conditions listed below. (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.)

Please select one screening. Your screening methodology must come from the National Clearinghouse guidelines.

  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
  • Breast Cancer
  • Cervical Cancer
  • Colon Cancer
  • Diabetes Mellitus II
  • Lung Cancer

Explain the guideline, the correct application of the screening, and the epidemiology behind the guidance. Content required should include epidemiologic data such as statistical information as available ex. morbidity, mortality, incidence and prevalence of condition. Identify risk factors, risk assessment, testing interval, description of the patient population, screening test recommendations and other factors relative to the guideline.

This paper should be 2–3 pages, excluding your title page, and references. This paper should adhere to appropriate 6th edition APA format.

DUE: to Dropbox on end of Day 7 of Unit 2.

Cervical Cancer Guidelines and Recommendations
Cervical cancer is among the most common types of cancer in the United States of
America and the world in general. However, according to the Center for Disease Control, the
organization in the US that is tasked with keeping track and studying the various human
conditions in the country, the incidence of the disease has drastically reduced. The organization
credits the advent of Pap testing for the early detection that leads to the discovery of the early
stages of the disease before it becomes malignant and therefore the control of the disease.
Therefore, it is important for all healthcare professionals to understand the epidemiology of the
disease, the risk factors, and the affected population to understand the application of screening
for cervical cancer before ordering such screens.
The CDC offers the epidemiological data of cervical cancer in the United States of
America for the ...
