Discussion: Community Health Issues
Read the assigned chapters in your Stanhope and Lancaster text. Then, call the Department of Health or your local Public Health Department and speak to a nurse. Find out the top health concern(s) for your community. Focus your attention on the unique tools that nurses who work in the community utilize to care for populations, including the Intervention Wheel.
Listen to Dr. Attia’s Ted Talk in the resources for this week.
