• What priorities would you set for the work of the public health nurse in today’s society?
• How should a nurse balance the relationship between advocacy and case management?
• Describe how the case management process might occur for one of the following practices: school nurse in an elementary school, occupational health nurse in a factory, or ambulatory care nurse in a well-child clinic at a health department. Provide a specific example or scenario to illustrate your response.

Remember to support your response with evidence. Please use attached resource as well.
