Lets start with a broad overview of public health nursing. The three core functions of
public health are assessment, assurance, and policy development (Nies & McEwen,
2015, p. 6).
Discuss how this core function relates to one intervention from the Public
Health Intervention Wheel (Nies & McEwen, 2015, pp. 1415).
What makes some healthy and others ill? Healthy People 2020 identifies
fivedeterminants of healththat influence the health of individuals and
populations.Healthy People 2020 describes them as A range of personal, social,
economic, and environmental factors that influence health status are known as
determinants of health (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2014,About
Determinants of Health, para. 1). Determinants fall into five categories including: (a)
policy making, (b) social factors, (c) health services, (d) individual behavior, and (e)
biology and genetics.
Next, choose one of the six assessment categories from Box 6-2, and discuss
what you observed about Iron Ridge related to the questions in that category.

Demographic and Epidemiological Assessment (graded)For this post, you will
collect assessment data about your city or county. This post will include
information about demographics (general characteristics) and
epidemiological data (disease or health behavior rates) of your community.
This data collection will help with two sections of your Week 4 Milestone 2
assignment.

Caring for Vulnerable Populations (graded)
This week, you are learning about many different vulnerable populations. Choose one
vulnerable population.
Discuss several risk factors that may impact health outcomes for this group.
Describe two priorities for community health nurses working with this
population.
Choose one agency and assess this agency in terms of the 4 As. Is it
accessible, acceptable, affordable, or available for Mary or other pregnant
women that you case-manage?
week 4
As the school nurse role evolves, there are increasingly more health concerns for the
school nurse. Does the locale make a difference in the problems, or are health
problems in children and adolescents universal? In some inner-city areas, violence is a
prevalent issue. What do you think are the biggest problems in your areas?
Healthy People Objectives for Community Settings (graded)
The federal government developed Healthy People as a set of national health objectives
that are revised every 10 years. These objectives are very specific in order to guide and
measure our nations progress related to public health.
Please visit http://www.healthypeople.gov/2020/topicsobjectives2020/. Click on
a topic area that relates to a community health (CH) setting you are learning about.
Click on the green Objectivesarea in that topic area to choose one Healthy People
2020 numbered objective.
Discuss one specific numbered Healthy People 2020 objective (not a goal)
related to this community health setting.
How could a community health nurse help this setting meet this objective?

WEEK 2
DIRECTIONS
1.Download the NR443 Community Windshield Survey form from Doc
Sharing. You will type your name and answers directly onto this Word
document. Your form does not need to follow APA formatting; however, you
are expected to use a professional writing style with complete sentences,
accurate grammar, and correct spelling. If references are used, they must be
cited in the text and the complete reference should be included in the
reference box in APA format. References are optional.
2.Watch Caring for Populations project overview and Milestone 1 tutorial by
clicking thislink. This tutorial is also available on Course Project page under
Course Home as well as Week 2 Assignments page.
3.Save the file by clicking Save as and adding your last name to the file
name; for example, NR443 Windshield Survey Form_Smith.
4.Submit the completed form to the Caring for Populations: Community
Windshield Survey Dropbox by Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 2.
5.Length: The completed form should be three to four pages in length (not
including any optional references).
GUIDELINES
Below are the requirements needed for successful completion of the
Windshield Survey Form.
1.Introduction to the Community:Identify the community you will be
using for this assignment with the city and state and provide a brief one
paragraph description of the community. Your community should be the area
where you live or the area surrounding your work setting. The community
must include a residential area and be broad enough to answer the survey
questions. You do not need demographic data.
2.Windshield Survey: Assess your community by doing a windshield
survey.Information about the components of a windshield survey is located in
your textbook, Nies & McEwen (2015) on page 98 (Box 6-2). Drive through
the area and report your observations by describing each of the following six
areas using a majority of the questions from each category of Box 6-2 as
your guide (one to two in depth paragraphs for each category). Be sure to
include what you observed related to each of these categories, and also
include any significant items that are missing in your community because
this may be equally important in identifying a community health problem.
a. Community vitality
b. Indicators of social and economic conditions
c. Health resources
d. Environmental conditions related to health
e. Social functioning
f. Attitude toward healthcare
Note: It is helpful to conduct this assessment at least two different times:
during the day or evening, on a weekday and/or on the weekend. If possible,
plan on asking someone to drive during your survey so that you can take
notes.
3.Conclusion: Provide a summary of your findings. Describe significant
community health problems based on your observations. The information
gathered during the windshield survey should assist you to identify
community health problems that will be further assessed in the next
assignment.
4.References: The purpose of this assignment is to document your
observations of your community. Outside sources are not required. However,
if sources are used, these sources must be cited within the form (Author,
year) and listed in the reference section in APA format (see APA category in
Course Resources for help with formatting).

Scenario
You are a community public health nurse (C/PHN) working in your setting of
choice. You have analyzed the data collected from your windshield survey
and assessment and diagnosis assignments (the first two milestones) and
identified one community health nursing problem. You have decided
on one nursing intervention and need your organizations approval for
funding of this intervention. Your leadership team has agreed to listen to
your proposal.
DIRECTIONS

presentation, and reiterate at least one or two important findings that
demonstrate this problem in your community (average of 12 slides)
Proposed Intervention:Propose one community
health nursing intervention that would address one or more of the major
factors that contribute to the problem (average of 34 slides).
o Describe your specific nursing intervention relating it to the public health
intervention wheel (Nies & McEwen, 2015, p. 14, Figure 1-3)
