Scenario 2: A community health nurse is assigned to a new urban area. The nurse conducts a walking tour of the area and makes observations of local shops, some of which have been boarded up; houses of worship; medical facilities; supermarkets; and school buildings. It is 10:00 AM. The nurse notes that there are many young children playing in the streets, and a group of teenagers is standing outside the high school. A teenager approaches the group, and she appears to be pregnant. She does not have a backpack as the others do. As the nurse walks farther, a group of young men steps out of the local store carrying bags of chips and drinking soda. The majority of the people observed appear to be overweight. As a part of the community assessment, the nurse plans to determine the types of health care facilities available in the community. Religion influences what and how health issues are addressed (i.e., abortion/birth control, blood transfusions). How can the nurse assess values and religious beliefs in this community? Poverty is associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates. What data are essential to determine the poverty level of this community?
