In treating a worker injured at a construction site, the nurse interviews the worker, the
foreman, and several of the co-workers. Does this exemplify community-oriented
nursing practice? Why or why not? - answer NO; This is community-based nursing
practice as it focuses on one incident, if the CHN was doing education to a factory about
worker safety that would be community-oriented.
What is the first step in the assessment process - answer Define your boundaries
What are the four steps of the nursing process? - answer 1.) Assessment
2.) Planning
3.) Intervention
4.) Evaluation
Define and give an example of assessment - answer to gather data about a
community in order to further understand it and identify potential deficits or problems.
EX: Windshield surveys
Define planning - answer choosing a priority problem, developing goals and
choosing/developing interventions to reach these goals. Community oriented nurses do
this when they assess available data to determine priority health problems in a
community, and seeks ways to navigate potential resistance from the community from
within (cultural reasons, financial issues, lack of public resources, etc.)
Define intervention - answer the developed plans are enacted. This is either as a
change leader, or working through and with change agents in a community in ways that
respect and navigate the particular needs and cultures of these communities.
Define evaluation - answer data is collected over the outcomes achieved by
interventions the nurse and collaborators within the community enacted. These are then
compared to the goals. If outcomes fall short, then the nurse must determine why this
was. For example, identifying any factors resisting change within a community the nurse
hadn't considered before, determining a timeline was not realistic, or a budget was too
small. For these reasons goals should be easily measurable
, In a routine day, a nurse (a) conducts a scoliosis screening clinic at a junior high school,
(b) makes a home visit to the parents of a child with a high absenteeism rate, (c)
bandages a child injured on the playground, and (d) plans a first-aid course for
teachers. Which of these activities exemplify community-oriented nursing practice?
Why? - answer D
Rationale: This answer exemplifies community-oriented nursing as it is a primary
intervention (educating teachers on first-aid so they may properly assist students when
needed) that improves health outcomes with the community overall in mind. The other
examples are all community-based patient care, and focus on caring for one patient's
needs at a time.
