Discuss the top two chronic diseases seen in adults in your area.
Discussion Question 1 (Aggregate Assessment) due 1/12/16
In community and public health nursing the target of care is the community, thus the community is the client receiving the care. The role of the nurse is to evaluate health concerns, and develop an aggregate plan of care to address those concerns. Aggregates or target populations in the community may include child care centers, cities, counties, senior centers, homeless shelters, minority communities, faith based organizations, work sites, schools, or other populations. Identify and discuss a few targeted populations in your community that are of interest to you, and explain your reasons for the selections identified.
Discussion Question 2 (The Intervention Wheel) due 1/15/16
Using the Intervention Wheel, choose two of the interventions that you feel are most important and discuss how they can be used with an aggregate.
Discussion Question 3 (Health Problems) due 1/17/16
Which area, rural or urban, has the most health problems? Why?
Discussion Question 4 (Epidemiological Issues) due 1/19/16
What epidemiological issues did you find in your community? What differentiates these as epidemiological issues vs. individual issues? For example, hypertension in the African American population is an epidemiological issue, but in the Caucasian population, it is an individual issue.
