Lung Cancer
Chapter 1
Introduction
Nature of Problem
The health of any given individual is of great essence. A person
who is not healthy is faced with many challenges that might
even limit his or her capabilities. Lung cancer is one of the
most dangerous types of cancers in the world. The type of
disease involves the growing of unwanted cells in the lungs thus
preventing the lungs from being effective and carrying their
daily duties. The body is designed in a way that all body parts
relate to each other in one way or another. When one body part
fails to function, other body parts might be affected as well, and
that might end up failing the whole body system.
Purpose of the Practicum
It is the goal of the practicum to explore various health
promotion approaches and strategies in the pursuit of high
quality medical care delivery for lung cancer. The purpose of
this practicum is to elaborate more about the disease, to know
what causes it, to know how one can know if they have it or not,

and the most suitable ways of dealing with it. The practicum
will achieve all the purposes mentioned above by presenting a
PowerPoint presentation on different research materials. The
presentation will be presented the first Saturday of every month,
to men and women of all ethnicity backgrounds between the
ages of 30 and 65. At the same time, the practicum will be
trying to present evidence on all points made about the disease.
The practicum will not only be of benefit to the reader. The
group will benefit from it because in the process of finding
more about the disease they will be absorbing information
concerning the topic.
Research Question
There is one research question to be answered by this
practicum. What are the necessary topics to be included in
creating the curriculum to be delivered as a PowerPoint,
focusing on lung cancer for Smokers at Austin Regional Clinic
in Austin, TX? Anything pertaining to lung cancer will be
addressed. The reason for choosing the wide research question
is to ensure that every aspect of the problem is addressed. By
using lung cancer as the research question, it will be easy to
carry out research that is broad, and that looks into all aspects
of the disease. A research question is aimed at guiding one
towards carrying out research. Therefore, by choosing a narrow
area of research, one might be limited to finding and gathering
information from different areas. Lung cancer is a broad topic.
Under the topic, there is the definition of the disease, the
causes, the signs and the ways of tackling the disease.
Therefore, there will be a lot of research done on the topic of
research and at the end of the research, the reader, as well as
the researcher, will be well enlightened on issues pertaining
lung cancer more than ever before (Markou et al. 2013).
Significance to Smokers
The significance of this practicum to the entire group is that
every member of the group who will be involved in the entire

process has a chance to know more about the disease. The
reason why most of us are in school is not only to be good in
the courses that we take but also to be of help to the
community. After carrying out the research, no member of the
group will be the same again. The research will feed all of us
with information that can be utilized to change the lives of
others and to make others better. The community has many
people who do not know much about lung cancer. Most of them
are at the risk of contracting the disease. The practicum will
enlighten them and will make them wiser. As a result, it will be
easy for all members of the group to be beneficial to the
community.
Chapter 2
Review of Literature
The review of literature in the final paper will be 4 pages
minimum, 5 pages maximum.
Overview
Lung cancer has been proved beyond reasonable doubt to be one
of the diseases that need more attention in the twenty-first
century. People have turned their backs on the disease thinking
that it only affects the middle age men. The case is not,
however, true. There is much about the disease that people do
not know. The research that was conducted last year shows that
lung cancer will be killing more people each and every year.
One of the shocking revelations is that the disease is not only
caused by ignorance among some individuals but it is also
caused by moral negligence. Smoking is one of the leading
causes of lung cancer (Schapira et al. 2015). Learning Theory of
Instructional Design
Put in the name of the theory. This heading will be the second
to last heading in the review of literature. In one or two
paragraphs, describe the learning theory that is appropriate to

develop your educational resource (constructivism,
behaviorism, etc.). Do not have your own thoughts. Just report
what the literature has to say about the theory. See the
resources for you in the content section of the class Web site
Youth Smokers
According to the researchers, some parents have taken the back
seat, and they are watching their children dig their graves. Most
of the youths who are smoking for pleasure do not know the
danger that awaits them. The habit of smoking is known to be
one of the most addictive. Therefore, when a youth starts
smoking at an early age, he is likely to become a smoker for the
rest of his life due to addiction. The fact that smoking is a
leading cause of lung cancer other reasons cannot be ruled out.
Therefore, when a person starts smoking at an early age, he or
she is likely to contract lung cancer later in life. The
responsibility of guiding the youths to the best path has been
left to teachers alone despite it being the responsibility of the
parents as well. Therefore, the negligence of the parents is to
some extent going to be a catalyst of lung cancer in coming
years.
Delivery Method of Instructional Design
Best practices for (the type of educational product, such as
PowerPoint presentation, video, webinar). lung cancer. I will
be presenting information on lung cancer to my audience by
using a PowerPoint presentation. PowerPoint can be a highly
effective tool to deliver information to a group. It is a quick and
easy tool to organize ideas and information to present to a
group. Using this type of tool to deliver information to the
group will be exciting by showing them pictures of the disease
and presenting them with great information. Groups can lose
focus quickly if it is a lot of reading but by showing them
pictures within my presentation they get to see exactly what
lung cancer does to the them.

Best practices for In this section, describe the best practices of
the method you will use to deliver the information to your
group, such as PowerPoint presentation, syllabus, and so forth.
Have this section be the last section in the review of literature.
Do not include your own thoughts. Just report what the
literature has to say about the best practices.
If you are creating a PowerPoint presentation, you must
describe the best practices in terms of font size, font type,
colors for type and background of slide, how many lines per
slide, addition of graphics or other media, and so forth. Do not
just say large font. Which size font? Do not say warm colors
or contrasting colors. Which colors? Be specific. Be sure you
adhere to the guidelines when creating your own PowerPoint
presentation.
In another paragraph, describe the advantages and disadvantages
of PowerPoint presentations to justify why this delivery method
will be appropriate for your audience. Remember do not
include your own thoughts or tie the literature to your specific
product. Use peer-reviewed sources.
UPDATE THE TABLE OF CONTENTS AS NEEDED AND THE
REFERENCE LIST. You must use peer-reviewed articles from
a database in the library or governmental Web sites from the
last 5 years. You cannot use newspapers, newsletters,
PowerPoint presentations, university Web sites, dissertations,
random chapters from unidentified books, or other gray
literature. If you cannot decide if the source is acceptable,
please ask.
Remember, every paragraph should have two or more sentences,
ideally three sentences minimum. Use the past tense for the
review of literature because the sources have been published in
the past.
Chapter 3Methodology and Procedures
Methodology

There is only one method to be employed for this practicum.
The method will be developmental. Notice the past tense. This
is all you need to write in this paragraph.
Procedures
Search procedures. A review of the significant literature related
to (the topic) was conducted. The review highlights the
following topics: historical data, second item (such as
epidemiological information), third item (such as curriculum
development), and learning theory.
Libraries used. There was only one library used to search for
sources for this project. The Health Professions Divisions
Library at Nova Southeastern University was used for this
project (or change this paragraph to indicate all the libraries
you used if you used more than one library). A PARAGRAPH
IS MORE THAN ONE SENTENCE, WHICH IS THE REASON
FOR THE TWO SENTENCES IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
Search engines and databases used. The following databases
were used to search for the sources for this project. The
databases were Examples of databases are Citations and
Abstracts for Literature of Nursing and Allied Health
(CINHAL), Web of Science, Ebsco Host, PubMed, Medline, and
so forth. Do not depend on Google or Google Scholar. Change
the databases to reflect the ones you used in your search. A
PARAGRAPH IS MORE THAN ONE SENTENCE
Search terms. Several search terms were used to identify
sources for this project. The search terms included first term,
second term, and third term (or however many you have). A
PARAGRAPH IS MORE THAN ONE SENTENCE
Boolean strings. Boolean strings were considered for the
literature search. No Boolean strings were used in the literature
search. OR One Boolean string was used: diabetes AND foot
ulcer. OR Two Boolean strings were used: diabetes AND foot
ulcer and infection AND surgery. OR Several Boolean strings
were used: diabetes AND foot ulcer, diabetic foot ulcer AND

amputation, and infection AND surgery. Pick the sentence that
fits your situation, AND BE SURE THERE IS THE SENTENCE
IN BLACK AND ONE OF THE BLUE SENTENCES.
Age of the sources. The significant literature was reviewed.
Sources from the last 5 years were included in the review of
literature. Pertinent historical or seminal articles were also
considered. Use an age range of 5 years or less, except for
historical sources. If your age range is less than 5 years, then
adjust it, such as 3 years or 1 year. A PARAGRAPH IS MORE
THAN ONE SENTENCE.
Inclusion criteria.There were four inclusion criteria. Inclusion
criteria included (a) literature published since 2010, except
historical sources; (b) English-language text; (c) peer-reviewed
articles; and (d) Web sites relating to lung cancer.
Exclusion criteria. There were four exclusion criteria. The
exclusion criteria included (a) literature published before 2010,
except historical sources; (b) text not published in English; (c)
articles not peer reviewed; and (d) Web sites not relating to
lung cancer.
Population. No text here
Study subjects.The audience will be composed ofparents, health
science students, nurse practitioners, men, women between the
ages of 30 to 65 of all ethnicities. The audience will also be
English speakers because as of now I do not have anyone that
can interpret other languages to the audience. In this section,
describe the group who received the information from your
educational curriculum. Please describe the characteristics of
your subjects in demographic terms, such as ages, men, women,
occupations, ethnicities, languages, education, number of
participants in the group, and so forth. If you have any

Delete this information in the parentheses).
The following question drove the research of the literature.
Repeat your research question here.
Topics Based on the Literature
You did a review of literature to find out which topics should be
included for the educational product based on the literature.
Briefly, in one or two paragraphs, recount which topics you
included and have citations. Do not repeat the entire review of
literature. Just hit the highlights. Describe the themes of the

elements you used.
Delivery of (Type of Educational Product, such as PowerPoint
Presentation)
Describe how you would deliver the information. Use the third
person.
Expectations

Anticipated Benefits
The anticipated benefits expected from this educational
endeavor will be to educate
smokers about lung cancer. A research team is only interested in
gathering as much helpful information as possible; therefore, if
the targeted population will open up, the team will be more than
happy. The targeted population is also expected to benefit from
the entire research process. The reason why the questions were
asked is to ensure that the team knows how to tackle the
problem. For the case of the residents and victims who do not
have enough information about the problem, they will be
informed further.
The victims will benefit by being advised on the best ways to
avoid the problem or to deal with it. They will be provided with
information about specific programs and facilities that deal with
people who are victims of lung cancer. The move is no ensuring
that not only the team benefits but also the people who will help
in providing data. The expectations of the whole process are
that lives will be transformed and all people who will be
involved will be enlightened at the end of the entire process.
Importance of Anticipated Benefits to Smokers
The benefits will be of significance to the entire group. The
benefits will be an indication that I did not carry out the
research in vain. The group will have lots of knowledge on lung
cancer at the end of my entire presentation. The benefits will
prove that the resources were not used in vain.
Improvement of Health Care Delivery Systems
Exploration of lung cancer presents an opportunity for men and
women of all ethnicity between the ages of 30 to 65 from the

entire community. They do not have to be a patient of Austin
Regional Clinic to attend the presentation.
Chapter 5
