Windshield Survey/Health Hazard
Project description
I will give the writer access to my school textbook; I have a e-textbook.
Final Course Project Part 1 Tool
Windshield Survey Assessment
(Replaces Table 11.1 in textbook)
This is a tool to help you process what you see or don?t see.
?If? some of the questions are not identifiable within your 25 block area,
how far is it from your 25 block area?
One of the roles of the professional nurse in community health includes identification of potentially negative findings within the community. These findings may detrimentally affect people?s health within the community. You can consider this a type of assessment you currently perform on the patients you now care for. (Review Table 2.1 on page 19 of your textbook, ?Selected Nursing Activity.?)
