Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.

This APA paper is expected to be no more than four pages in length (not including the title page and reference list).

This paper has a topic already chosen, be sure to write only on the topic assigned. It may not be the same topic you are seeing in this tutorial. You will want to read and take notes on the setting and role(s) in your textbook and also find at least one scholarly peer-reviewed journal article that is not assigned in the course related to a nurse’s role in health promotion in this setting.

The article must be less than 10 years old (less than 5 years is best).

The first component of this assignment is a title page including the Running head and page number. Next, you will start this paper with an introduction that will give a brief overview of the assigned community setting. Then, briefly identify CHN role(s) in this setting and identify vulnerable population(s) served in this setting. Be sure to include a purpose statement.

The next section will focus on the community setting, 2-3 paragraphs is sufficient. Start by describing the assigned community setting, including vulnerable population(s) served.

The next part of the paper focuses on health promotion nursing intervention. Again, this should be two to three paragraphs. You will want to describe in detail health promotion intervention(s) that a CHN could implement in the assigned community setting.
