Identify the selected practice problem.

Dr. Bartelt and classmates, my selected practice problem is adults who are living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).  The number of people in the United States who are currently living with COPD is around 15.5 million and there are many more who are undiagnosed due to lack of healthcare resources and testing (Pleasants et al., 2016).  The number of people with COPD in the United States will continue to grow for the foreseeable future and has the potential to overwhelm the healthcare system if not curtailed (Bemker & Ralyea, 2018).  The DNP leader in the healthcare setting is well suited to manage care for these individuals with chronic lung disease and to influence their care that leads to overall improvements in health as well as an increased quality of life and reduced long-term complications (Bemker & Ralyea, 2018). 

Describe an evidence-based intervention to address the practice problem.

The most effective management strategy for any type of chronic illness is early diagnosis and targeted efforts to improve long-term health (Ambrosino & Bertella, 2018).  Early diagnosis of COPD before the onset of symptoms allows the individual to receive care and make lifestyle changes that can prevent rapid progression of the disease that leads to poor prognosis and an early death (Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease, 2020).  Conducting spirometry testing in high-risk individuals can identify COPD before the onset of symptoms allowing for an early diagnosis and preventing many significant health complications (Ambrosino & Bertella, 2018). 

Create an informational population health “tweet” as part of a social marketing intervention.  This “tweet” should be no more than 280 characters to promote awareness of the health problem and intervention.  Your “tweet” should be current, captivating, and applicable for the population at risk.

“Did you know that you can have COPD even if you do not have symptoms?  Free screenings that are quick and easy can identify COPD early.  Visit your local health center for a discussion with a healthcare provider and learn if you are at risk. It could literally save your life.”

Identify one measurable outcome to the “tweet”.

One measurable outcome to this tweet is to quantify the number of people who attend the free screening events and to reference the total number of people who attend in conjunction with the results from the spirometry testing.  This measure can give you satisfaction that more people are being screened, which will lead to more people being diagnosed early and an improvement in long-term health and wellness (Pleasants et al., 2016).  Most people who are undiagnosed with COPD have significant socioeconomic disparities and an overall lack of healthcare resources.  Providing targeted free screening efforts such as this one in areas considered as having high-risk populations is a way of reducing healthcare disparities and can produce excellent results.

I. Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to demonstrate your ability to use the various features and

functions in Adobe Animate to create a commercial for your fictional company/organization.

This assignment is an opportunity to utilize the animation authoring skills that you have learned

to develop a creative and original 10-second non-looping animation to deliver a message about

your company/organization.

II. Steps

 

1. You must use Adobe Animate to create your commercial. Your animation must meet the

following requirements:

 Document Setting:

 Dimension: CAN NOT exceed 800 pixel width and 600 pixel height

 Frames per second MUST be set to 12

 Platform/Playback Type:

 HTML5 Canvas (preferred) or ActionScript 3.0

 Accessibility Setting (ActionScript 3.0):

 The Accessibility Panel (Window > Properties > Accessibility) must be

activated

 For the movie:

o Select the “Make Movie Accessible” option

o Provide an alternative equivalent in the “Name” and “Description” fields

 For each object (e.g., button)

o Select the “Make Object Accessible” option

o Provide an alternative equivalent in the “Name” and “Description” fields

 Ensure that no component of the content flashes more than three times in

any 1-second period

 Requirements (The animation should play in the following order):

 Preloader:

 Select a background color; Create a text box, aligned at the horizontal

center of the stage and type in 'Loading' in the text box; Create 5 small

white squares and align them as shown.

 Create a preloader animation so that the squares sequentially turn to

black squares for 0.5 second each, moving from left to right.

 Motion Tween (all of the following):

 Resulting in a color change of any object

 Resulting in a position change of any object (movement)

 Resulting in a transformation change of any object (scale, rotation)

2

 Shape Tween:

 Resulting in a shape change (morphing)

 Button:

 Insert a square and convert it into a button symbol

 Set the following states for the button:

o Up State: Create a text box on top of the square, with the text

‘End’ and align the square and text to look good.

o Over State: Change the color of the text ‘End’.

o Down State: Change the color of the text ‘End’.

 Ending (JavaScript or ActionScript 3.0):

 Create a new key frame after the frame on which the button is created.

Delete the button from this frame. Import the Image.gif file to your

library and drag an instance of it to this layer.

 Set the Actions to the button/frame so that the animation stops when the

button appears, and the animation continues to play the imported

Image.gif animation when the user clicks on the button.

 The imported Image.gif animation must run at least once completely

without looping.

 File Type:

 FLA (.fla)

 Time Length:

 At least 10 seconds (non-looping)

2. Submit your FLA file via Blackboard using the Assignments Tool (“Course Tools” 

“Assignments” follow the “Project 2: Animation Commercial” link).
