Criteria Task
TASK A
A1. Assessment overview (type, purpose, Type: Online discussion board. A formative assessment will be utilized to evaluate
and expected outcomes of the the learner’s comprehension of current course content. The type of assessment that
assessment) will be performed is an online discussion board where learners will answer three
questions regarding their knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the
community and public health nurse, and the relationships among them.
Purpose. The purpose of this assessment is to evaluate each learner’s working body
of knowledge related to the roles and responsibilities of the community and public
health nurse, in addition to their respective relationship to population-focused care.
Expected Outcome. It is expected that learners will be able to distinguish the roles
and responsibilities of the community and public health nurses and differentiate
between the community and public health nurse within the complex health care
system. It is expected that learners will also be able to interpret and clearly articulate
their findings in a scholarly manner via the discussion board.
A2. Module title (C920 material) Introduction to Community and Public Health Nursing
Course objectives (C920 material) Throughout this module, learners will have the opportunity to:
1. Examine the evolving roles and responsibilities of the community and public
health nurse.
2. Analyze the difference between community health nursing and public health
nursing.
3. Analyze population-based, or population-focused care in community and
public health nursing according to the standards of care and scope of practice
for each.
Student learning outcomes (C920 Upon successful completion of this module, learners will be able to:
material) 1. Distinguish the roles and responsibilities of the community and public health
nurse within the complex health care system and policies.
,C921 Assessment and Evaluation Strategies for Measuring Student Learning Assessment Blueprints
2. Differentiate between community health nursing and public health nursing.
A2a. Assessment Activity Alignment (i.e. Course Objectives 1-3. The formative assessment aligns well with each objective
align your selected assessment activity because formative assessments require learners to recall information to demonstrate
with course objective and student comprehension of the material presented. The formative assessment will encourage a
learning outcomes) higher order thinking by the end of the course through the utilization of a discussion
board by first examining the roles and responsibilities of the community and public
health nurse in population-focused care, then analyzing the similarities and
differences between the two. The discussion board encourages critical thinking and
will help learners organize and interpret the information presented, and also
encourage dialogue with their peers to obtain different points of view related to the
topic.
Student Learning Outcomes 1-2. The formative assessment aligns well with each
student learning outcome because formative assessments via an online discussion
board allows learners to demonstrate competency and an understanding of course
material. Learners will recall the information and demonstrate an understanding of it
on the discussion board. Each individual response will depict the roles and
responsibilities of the community and public health nurse and the differentiating
factors between the two.
A3. Cognitive level to be measured by the Analysis. The cognitive level that will be measured by the formative assessment is
formative assessment analysis. Learners will demonstrate a competency in the cognitive level of analysis by
interpreting the information provided and organizing the ideas into a useful and
meaningful working body of knowledge by differentiating between the community
and public health nurse roles and responsibilities, then articulating their responses on
the discussion board.
A4. Item Types (i.e. multiple-choice Constructed Response/Discussion Board. The item type chosen for this formative
items, fill in the blanks, etc.) assessment is a constructed response via an online discussion board. As previously
discussed, an online discussion board will be used to assist learners in interpreting,
translating, and organizing the information.

assessment) topic and answer three questions

Section B: Formative Assessment Instructions (Student Facing)
B1. Assessment Instructions
Online discussion board requirement: Upon successful review of learning resources,
learners will divide into groups of 4 and will reflect on and answer the following questions in
paragraph format (Minimum 5 sentences per question). Learners will then log-in to their
classroom portals and participate in the online discussion board forum related to this activity.
Responses are due by midnight the night after the lecture so feedback can be provided prior to
next meeting time.
Online response requirement: Reply to at least 2 of your fellow learners’ responses.
Make sure to discuss how they may have broadened your knowledge or perception of the roles
and responsibilities of the community health nurse and public health nurse.
All learners are required to participate: All learners are expected to fully participate
and respond to each other in a mindful and tactful manner. Failure to participate in this activity
will result in a reduction of no more than 5 points off of your final grade.
B2. Formative Assessment Activity
Online discussion board requirement: Upon successful review of learning resources,
learners will divide into groups of 4 and will reflect on and answer the following questions in
paragraph format (Minimum 5 sentences per question).
1. Compare and contrast the roles and responsibilities of the community health nurse with
the public health nurse roles and responsibilities in population-focused care.
2. Discuss common themes, findings, or questions that your group had in collaboration.
3. Do you see yourself practicing as a community health nurse, public health nurse, or
neither? Why or why not?
