Using the Treatment and Prevention Table template, linked in the Assessment Resources, complete the following:
- Identify the primary medical management or treatment (medical, surgical, or prevention) for each of the top 10 potential causes of death. List specific activities or medications.
- List the setting in which the medical management or treatment you identified would occur:
- Inpatient (with an overnight stay in the hospital).
- Outpatient (in an appointment with a health care provider).
- Long-term care (such as in a rehabilitation center).
- Other (such as with a behavior choice). If you choose “other,” provide an explanation of your answer in the box.
- Identify the primary surgical management or treatment for each potential cause of death. Not all of them have a surgical treatment, so some of the boxes in this column may be left blank.
- List the setting in which the surgical management or treatment you identified would occur.
- Identify the primary prevention activities or preventive care for each potential cause of death.
- List the setting in which prevention care you identified would occur.
- In the Description of Findings section following the table, respond to the following:
- For each of the top 10 potential causes of death, evaluate which of the three measures (medical treatment, surgical treatment, or prevention) is both most cost-effective and offers the best overall quality care. For each potential cause of death, write a 2–3 paragraph justification of your assessment.
List all the resources you used in the References section of the template in APA format.
