COURSE

NURS-4210M Role of the Nurse Leader-Spring

To prepare for this Discussion, you will be required to read the assigned chapters in your Stanhope and Lancaster text. Then, call the Department of Health or your local Public Health Department and speak to a nurse. Find out the top health concern(s) for your community. Please focus your attention on the unique tools that nurses who work in the community utilize to care for populations, including the Intervention Wheel.

Listen to Dr. Attia’s Ted Talk in the resources for this week.

By Day 3

Post your response to the following:

• Pick a top health issue in your community and describe some ways in which a nurse might improve this issue at the population level.
• Are the problems that your colleagues are sharing the same as you are seeing in your communities, or are they different?
• Consider different aspects of intervention(s) at the system and community levels of care to address health problems in their own communities. Consider Dr. Attia’s profound message as you respond to your peers and think outside the box.
