This assignment is aligned with the module objective “Demonstrate community assessments and apply the principles of
epidemiology.”

5. Develop one-long term goal, minimum of three short-term goals and interventions for your
chosen diagnosis (you will be developing a teaching plan in week 3).
Goals: A goal is a final outcome of what is achieved after you provide the
interventions. Goals are broad in nature. Consider the long-term goal to be after one year and short-term goal after six months. These are community goals and will take longer to obtain. Consider a reduction of statistics as a long-term goal as guided by
