TASK

Post your initial response to the topic below.

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.
• Provide your rationale  for the selections identified.

Nurse-scholars have a significant obligation to their community as well. Their work must have academic and professional integrity. Their efforts are designed to add to the body of knowledge, advance the profession, and ultimately help in the care of patients. Work that lacks integrity is subject to erode quickly or worse.

Fortunately, there are strategies and tools that can help ensure integrity in academic and professional work. This assignment asks you to consider these tools and how you might apply them to your own work.

In this Assignment, you will continue developing your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan by appending the original document you began in the previous assignment.
