            1. Develop an action plan to improve medication access/ compliance/ adherence/ monitoring for the at-risk population, while addressing the barriers present.  (For example: the at-risk population is composed of a very low socioeconomic group, and the main health concern is hypertension and cardiac-related issues.  What could you propose that would improve the access and adherence to hypertensive medications?)  The action plan must include:
               1. The issue your plan will address
               2. Resources needed
               3. Stakeholders involved
               4. The details of the plan
               5. How this plan will reduce barriers to effective medication access/ compliance/ adherence/ monitoring in this patient population
               6. How you will evaluate the plan
            2. Literature searches for the topic on the web and in databases are limited to peer-reviewed professional nursing and medical journals, texts, and writings (no older than 5 years).
            3. Uses literature to support claims, facts, and statistics.
