Consider the community surrounding your school of nursing. Pick two environmental conditions and assess these conditions. Where do you think you could locate data to support your observations?
After the summited the assignment the professor wrote thisit is just to help us to make the assignment easy: As you consider your selection of your environmental conditions keep in mind the importance of healthy environments to optimal health. It is key for nurses to be skilled in the assessment of environmental health risks and hazards in order to adequately develop the health promotion and prevention education tools and strategies.
A component of the health risk assessment is assessing risks in vulnerable populations such as children and homeless. It is a way of determining the probability of a threat related to an exposure.
I look forward to seeing what two conditions you select!
