19. This Week’s Assignment: WebQuest You will do a lot of research and then create a short Microsoft PowerPoint™ presentation designed to show which part of the healthcare system should receive more funding.

Then select “Task” and read the instructions to gain an understanding of the purpose of the WebQuest.

20. This Week’s Assignment: Next, select “Process” and, using the Internet resources provided, think about and work through the 12 questions on your own. You do not need to submit your responses to these 12 questions as part of your assignment as this is just a critical thinking exercise, which is providing you with foundational knowledge for the next step. Then, on the left side of your screen under “Process” choose one “Focus Area” that you are interested in from the six choices listed. The six choices are: Veteran’s Administration Mental Health/Substance Abuse Treatment & Prevention Women’s Health/Family Planning Health Promotion/Disease Prevention Long-term Care Public Health

21. This Week’s Assignment: For the “Focus Area” you’ve chosen, work through the questions and take notes using the Internet resources provided. Prepare a short Microsoft PowerPoint™ presentation (minimum 10 slides not including cover slide and reference slide) that is designed to show why your selected “Focus Area” of the healthcare system should receive funding. Imagine a realistic scenario that there are limited monies available, and “sell” why your “Focus Area” should receive it, based upon the several questions you answered about it.
