As a master’s-prepared nurse, you are responsible for knowing basic health screenings for various populations. Read the required readings and refer to the course resources. Choose the young, middle, or older adult population. Address the preventive health screenings for one of these subsections of the adult population based on age and sex. Include adult immunization recommendations for that adult age group. Finally, focus on one screening recommendation you included, addressing specific statistics and risks within the chosen age group that support the preventive screening recommendation.
