The geopolitical area contains community boundaries, environmental elements, plant life, weather, public transport, wildlife, facilities and homes. The community may be enveloped by mountains or wilderness. Natural disasters and injuries may arise and fluctuate with geographic areas. A geographic information system can be useful for healthcare specialists when identifying geographic or population boundaries. According to Green (2018), Geographic Information System (GIS) “helps to determine where there are disparities, health behaviors, or health deficits in an environment related to the geography of the area.” A phenomenological place is a mental place rather than a geographical place. This place concentrates on history, culture, economics, education, spiritual beliefs, values and common characteristics (GCU, 2018). These ideas establish a perspective in which the participants of the community feel as though they fit in. The community elements are the bases when identifying the community assessment.

According to Green (2018), “Public health nursing focuses on groups, populations, or the health of an entire geographical sector.” Therefore, whole public health utilizes the knowledge to push interventions to enhance stated health disparities. Public health demands are constantly changing and are what make the advancement of programs to enhance public health.

The community assessment involves studying the protection and wellbeing of a community to comprehend the connections among the people, environment, and resources. The nurse uses various methods of assessment of the environment and population before starting programs. The nurse prepares nursing diagnoses for the community created on the results and challenges decided from the community assessment. Public health nursing is motivated by the demands of the population for the prevention of disease and the development of the communities’ health.

The community health nurse must perform a series of actions to identify subjective and objective data and evaluate the information. After understanding the information, the nurse must recognize the demands and create a plan, an intervention and evaluate the data collected.

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

• Textbook: Chapter 7,8
• Lesson
• Minimum of 2 scholarly sources in addition to textbook and lesson.

Instructions
While our focus in the lesson this week was on the concepts of conformity and obedience, we also studied group processes and dynamics in our readings for the week. For this assignment, select two specific groups to which you personally belong. This could be a church group, sports team, club, department at work, etc. In a slide presentation, address the following for each of the groups you selected:

• Describe the group (membership, purpose, etc.).
• Define the group roles, emphasizing your own role in that group.
• Describe the group norms.
• Analyze the group dynamics – How does the group communicate? How are decisions made? Who evaluates group members’ performance?
• Evaluate how dissension or conflict are managed within the group.
• Select two social psychology group concepts (for example: cohesion, groupthink, social loafing) and apply them to these two groups, comparing and contrasting how the group norms and dynamics impact how the group behaves.

Writing Requirements (APA format)
As you complete your presentation, be sure to:

• Use speaker’s notes to expand upon the bullet point main ideas on your slides, making references to research and theory with citation.
• Proof your work
• Use visuals (pictures, video, narration, graphs, etc.) to complement the text in your presentation and to reinforce your content.
• Do not just write a paper and copy chunks of it into each slide. Treat this as if you were going to give this presentation live to a group of middle school kids – be relevant, engaging, and focused.

Presentation Requirements (APA format) 

• Length: 8-10 slides (not including title, introduction, and references slides)  
• Font should not be smaller than size 16-point  
• Parenthetical in-text citations included and formatted in APA style  
• References slide (a minimum of 2 outside scholarly sources plus the textbook and/or the weekly lesson for each course outcome) 
• Title and introduction slide required 

• CO2 Use lessons from nursing history to integrate clinical judgment into professional nursing practice (PO 4)
• CO3 Demonstrate responsibility for continued professional growth by exploring the nursing and lay literature related to historical nursing practice (PO 5)

There was much progress in nursing during the early to middle part of the 20th century (1900 through the late 1930s). After reading the textbook and the lesson for this week, describe one area of change in nursing during that time period that intrigues you. Discuss how that area could be applied today.
