Module Two Journal Guidelines and Rubric

It is important to be able to identify evidence-based methods and practices and to recognize how these practices are used for specific clients in appropriate
settings. This journal activity will allow you to think through these important actions and to continue reflecting on the case study that you will address in your
final project.
First, review the case study in the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document and select one of the following issues or conditions from the case study:
 Mobility issues
 Assistance with activities of daily living
 Difficulty paying bills
 Stroke
 Trauma
Then identify evidence-based practices that might be used with a patient like Jean across at least two different settings:
 Hospital
 Rehabilitation center
 Home healthcare
 Hospice
In 250 to 300 words, explain how evidenced-based practices can be used to assist Jean and improve her quality of life, regarding one issue or condition across at
least two different settings. Ideally, the practices you discuss will be relevant in multiple settings, but you may need to explain how these practices can be
adjusted to fit certain settings.
Remember to always approach the issue from the perspective of a human services professional as opposed to that of a healthcare professional such as a nurse
or a doctor.
Note that the journals in this course are private between you and the instructor. Each journal assignment will be assessed individually according to its own
rubric.
Guidelines for Submission: Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
