Students are to choose a specific aggregate of people that interest them from their Windshield Survey or from their clinical experience. Assess the community in which the aggregate is located by identifying and prioritizing the health needs and problems and the strengths of the community. Students should utilize credible, reliable, and valid sources of health and community data such as vital statistics and web resources (not Wikipedia). After collecting data on the aggregate, students will explore Healthy People 2020 Topics and Objectives and identify an actual or potential health problem that has nursing implications. This will be the focus of the final paper. The paper should include demographics, scope of the problem, current political, legal, and ethical issues regarding the issue, the resources of the health care system currently devoted to this problem, and a discussion of professional nursing roles and interventions relevant to the community health nurse.
The paper must be at least eight to 10 typed pages (excluding the title and reference page) with 12 point Times New Roman font double spaced. The paper must use APA formatting without an abstract and include a minimum of seven references. The following is a rubric to use as a guideline to complete the formal paper assignment.
