SCENARIO

You are a Community/Public Health Nurse (C/PHN) working in your setting of choice. You have identified a

community health problem from the Caring for Populations: Assessment and Diagnosis assignment, and you

need input from aggregates in your community regarding what type of nursing intervention would be most

beneficial. You know that speaking to members in your community will enhance your understanding of the

problem and give you ideas of specific solutions for your community. You need to create a flyer that will bring

these community members into your focus group. You want to reach out to your target audience by

distributing your flyer to local organizations such as schools, churches, physician offices, hospitals, health

departments, grocery stores, etc.

DIRECTIONS
