Heart disease

Part 1: Identify an at risk population and then identify a current health issue affecting the population you chose-CDC, WHO, Healthy People 2020

Part 2: Using at least two data resources (see list of potential data resources below) explain how this information could be utilized to establish the need for health programs and improve care for this issue (Discuss the gathered information addressing the problem-the availability of heath services, or lack of, and the nurse’s role in providing or supervising care). Provide evidence and rationales from the gathered data in order to provide the at risk population with appropriate interventions. Identify at least 2 interventions.

Format/Writing: Include at least two professional references to show that this is a relevant and current issue (nursing scholarly articles only-within 5 years). Paper is typed using APA guidelines. Correct grammar, sentence structure, and referencing is used. Paper is within 2 pages-not including the title page, and reference page.
