Mental health

Nurses must be able to knowledgeably plan services for individuals, families and the community.  In order to effectively plan, it is essential that you are aware of the resources specific to the community a client resides in to allow for identification of health-related resources and to understand gaps in services. A windshield survey is conducted from a car and provides a visual overview of a community. Conditions and trends in the community that could affect the health of the population should be noted. This data provides background and context for working with individuals and families in their community.  Information gathered from this survey should be added to this template.  Please complete and copy & paste to the homework section no later than 2/22/20.  Make sure to include data (i.e. statistical, informational, geographic), along with a reference page.
