Community Assessment on the city Tampa, FL. in Hillsborough County.
Follow the instructions on the template. 
Use the website data.census.gov for information. Use APA citation.

Task 2:
Make a slideshow where you analyse the existing evidence of social variations in health and illness in society, focussing upon the experiences of the two families in the case study. In your analysis, you should make use of UK statistics and research. You should aim to show if there is statistical evidence for the health inequalities experienced by the two families. You may also consider if there are any possible problems with the validity of the statistics.
The slideshow should consist of no more than 10 slides. Ensure that you do not overcrowd your slides with text – 50 words per slide maximum is recommended. 500 words
Use the case studies:
Oliver’s family
Oliver is 34 and unemployed. He lives in private housing – a one bedroom basement flat in an urban area, with his two children: Jordan, aged 5, and Alex, aged 7. The flat has some problems with damp and has no garden. Oliver was brought up in care and fears social workers will try to take his children away so he tries to avoid contact with social services. He has a long history of alcohol and drug abuse and has also suffered from depression. Oliver has persistent stomach complaints and his children have had impetigo and dental problems. Oliver has low levels of literacy and finds handling money problematic – his GP has given him foodbank tokens but he often finds himself and his children are hungry. Both his children suffer from asthma and the teacher at Alex’s school is concerned about his poor progress with regard to reading as his schooling has been disrupted by frequent absences related to hospital admissions. Amir’s family
Amir lives at the other end of Oliver’s street. Amir is also 34. He is married to Jamila who has a media business. They have two children: Maryam, aged 4, and Abdullah, aged 9. They live in a renovated four floor town house, which includes a studio as Amir works at home as an artist and illustrator. They also have a cottage in the Cotswolds, which they often visit at weekends. Jamila finds this particularly enjoyable as she has suffered from severe post-natal depression and is still having private counselling for some on-going personal problems. In the past, Amir had some issues with drug abuse – he had a cocaine addiction which got out of control – but he has had successful treatment at a private clinic. Amir feels his children have been generally healthy and enjoy music and dance lessons, take part in various sports and frequent social events. Abdullah is receiving extra private home tuition in preparation for grammar school entrance exams.

Prompt for the case study:
A 58-year-old white male presents with complaints of increased fatigue and reports that his wife complains that he is constantly snoring.  He has had an increase in fatigue and headaches in the last few months after he experienced a lay off at work.  He reports that he is not as active and has gained about 20 pounds in that time.  He has a history of hypertension but denies any other significant history.  He was supposed to be evaluated a few years ago for obstructive sleep apnea with a sleep study but couldn’t have the test due to COVID restrictions. The patient is 6’2” and weighs 274 pounds.  His BP is 164/84, pulse is 90, resp 20, and temp 98.2F.  Physical exam unremarkable except for increased waist and neck circumference, hypertension, and BMI.
An understanding of the respiratory system is a critically important component of disease diagnosis and treatment. This importance is magnified by the fact that oftentimes, the respiratory system works closely with the cardiovascular system.  A variety of factors and circumstances that impact the emergence and severity of issues in one system can have a role in the performance of the other.
Effective disease analysis often requires an understanding that goes beyond these systems and their capacity to work together. The impact of patient characteristics, as well as racial and ethnic variables, can also have an important impact.
An understanding of the symptoms of alterations in the respiratory system is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For APRNs, this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
In this Assignment, you examine a case study and analyze the symptoms presented. You identify the elements that may be factors in the diagnosis, and you explain the implications to patient health.
To prepare:
By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study scenario for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.

Reflect on the theories that we have
covered so far this semester. Answer the following questions:
·       How will understanding family theory assist the APN in
practice? 
·       Do you feel that one theory stands out for you at this time

A 38-year-old female presents to the emergency room with complaints of dyspnea and left leg pain.  Patient reports that her left leg started feeling heavy a few days ago and has also been red since she returned from a recent trip.  She denies any injury to her leg.  She reports that she started having some dyspnea in the last 24 hours.  Patient history is remarkable for systemic lupus erythematosus and a history of recent airplane travel.  She is also taking oral birth control.  Her bp is 130/84, heart rate 100, R 24, and temp is 100.4F.  Physical exam reveals unilateral +2 pitting leg edema to left leg with erythema.
In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following:
The cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.
Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.

The purpose of this health disparity assignment is to gather data, analyze the information, and develop a plan to decrease health disparities in a local county. You will construct a graphic representation and then develop a solution for a specific health problem of a vulnerable population. 
Construct a 5- to 8-page APA-style paper, plus the graphic representation as an appendix, using at least 3 peer-reviewed journals in addition to the statistic websites.
Address the following as you prepare your paper:
Using the most recent U.S. census data, create a demographic profile of the entire United States, the state of Georgia, and a county of your choosing using the following information:
Population
Racial/ethnic composition
Percentage of the population represented by various age groups, gender, and marital status
Percentage of the population at or below the poverty level
Leading causes of death
Construct a graphic representation comparing the demographics of the assigned county to the entire state of Georgia and the entire United States. (A graphic representation is a graph, pie chart, or colored map.) The content of the paper must include the following:
Introduction
Explanation of the statistics
Answer to the following questions:
Is there a difference in the demographics between the county and the state?
Is there a difference in the demographics between the county and the United States as a whole?
Are the differences related to the Social Determinants of Health? Why or why not?
Propose a solution to an identified health disparity.
Identify a specific racial/ethnic minority population present in the county.
Select a prominent health problem within the identified minority population.
Discuss the present status of the problem and the nature and future outlook of the problem.
Propose a solution to reduce or eliminate the health problem. (Integrate current health services and referral agencies in the county as part of the solution.)
Consider all aspects of client management decision making (financial, accessibility to resources, compliance, ethical, and desired outcome).
Support the chosen solution with evidenced-based practice.
