Using a variety of instruments (Windshield Survey, Community Assessment Tool, Screening interviews, etc.) while in your community ( Homestead, FL) , you will assess the community location. This will lead to a list of identified, prioritized health needs and your recommendations for intervention.
You will complete a windshield survey of your community. The objective of a windshield survey is to assess a community in a short, simple way, compiling data to help form an analysis of that community. Simply put, a windshield survey is the equivalent of a community head-to-toe assessment. There are 6 elements that should be included in your windshield survey (See Community Assessment Template ). You will drive through your community and document your findings on a PowerPoint presentation. Take pictures of your community to enhance your PowerPoint presentation.
A. Plan how you will obtain the information for the assessments.
•
o Conduct a Windshield Survey assessment.
o Drive around your community and take pictures.
o Create a PowerPoint presentation No more than 10 slides addressing each area of the windshield study.

Community Assessment
In this written assignment, you will conduct a community assessment that incorporates a windshield survey and apply the nursing process to your findings. Develop a three-page (must be three full pages of content) APA formatted paper using current (five years and less to date) peer-reviewed references. Three references are required. Your paper should include citations and references.
Your paper should include the following headings:
Assessment (Collect at least two elements of demographic data that support the community health nursing diagnosis. Resources are provided within the Success Platform within Week 2 Assignment Instructions.)
Diagnosis (Identify two priority nursing diagnoses and one community health promotion diagnosis. Be sure to identify the target population and level of prevention.
Plan (Include the community or public health nurse’s role in the development and implementation of the interventions for each nursing diagnosis.)
Intervention (Provide details about the intervention (s) and any community stakeholders necessary for carrying out the intervention.)
Evaluation (Provide a summary of an evaluation plan that includes goals and criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention(s).)
Community assessment
Identify a specific vulnerable population found while completing your community assessment and windshield survey. Find a minimum of two articles which address nursing care of that vulnerable population. Write a short 2 to 3 pg. review of your community assessment, windshield survey, and the nursing care presented in these articles. Describe the extent to which you will integrate these interventions in your own practice.

Community assessment
Analyze how your community has changed over the past 20 years. Use policy and community concepts and
theories from the learning resources to support your analysis.
Describe your community, using research and statistics to describe socio-demographic make-up. (For
example: How many persons live in the city and/or in the town? What were/are their cultural/racial
characteristics? What were/are their incomes, ages, political affiliations, etc.?)
Part II: Community Assessment
Describe a problem that the community is currently experiencing.
Assess the duration, intensity, and frequency of the problem.
Analyze the probable etiology of the problem, supporting your analysis with resources.
Analyze the key elements and characteristics of the community that make it vulnerable to this problem.
Analyze the key strengths of the community that give the community resilience and the potential for
overcoming the problem.
Identify major institutions (e.g., schools, factories, churches, attraction sites, etc.) and explain how these
institutions contribute to or inhibit the community’s ability to address the problem?
Explain which groups are most affected by the problem.
Part III: Community & Policy Action Plan
