Directions
Locate a community focal/starting point (for example, neighborhood, church, clinic,

point, you will conduct a survey of the community surrounding the site. Specifically, you
will survey a 10-block radius of the facility – 10 blocks north, 10 blocks south, 10 blocks
east, and 10 blocks west. If something is not within the area of the community you are
surveying (for example, a Hospital), note such and state how far away it is and how
people will access it. If you do not see something within the community (for example,
homeless people) note that no homeless persons were observed.

Community Health Problem
Also refer to the directions in Canvas
Please complete the following information on this template. If you do not use this template
there will be a 10-point grade penalty per assignment, and you will be required to resubmit
within 48 hrs. You may increase the size of the block by continuing to type. Use as much space
as necessary to provide your answers.
Instructions: Enter your response in each category marked below. Provide objective, statistical
support for your subjective findings.
● Include all the data listed in the Objective Data Criteria listed below.
● Add supplemental data as needed for your community.
● Compare objective data for your community with local (city), state, and national data.
You may increase the size of the block by continuing to type. Use as much space as necessary
to provide your answers.
In this assignment, you will review and assess statistical data for the community you selected for
your community Windshield Survey. By reviewing demographic, health, crime, income, and
educational data, and by comparing local data with city, county, state, and national data, you will
be able to determine how well the selected community functions.
Your statistical analysis will address the community in general using the categories noted above.
In addition, based on your observations from Module 1 subjective assignment, (windshield
survey and key informants) provide Morbidity, Mortality (M&M) and risk data for the health
problems you identified in your community, and gather comparative data from the local, city,
county, state and national levels specific to those health issues. For Example 1: if you observed
obesity in your community then present obesity rates and health conditions associated with
obesity [i.e. CVD, HD, Depression, etc.). These variables may include the following: gender (who
does this problem affect the most, men or women); age distribution; ethnicity or racial group(s)
mostly-affected; morbidity and mortality rates; any data related to life-expectancy in light of the
health issues; is there a geographic area where the health problems mainly exist; is there a
relationship between the health issue(s) and environmental health hazards; are these lifethreatening health issues?
General Objective Data Criteria for the Community-at-Large
1. Demographics: Complete the table below for your community and city, state, and
national data. Then write a paragraph comparing the objective data for your community

3. Community Health Nursing Diagnoses:
Based on your subjective and objective assessment findings above for both Weeks 1 and 2,
write TWO priority community health nursing diagnoses.
You must use this format for correctly writing a CH nursing diagnosis (do NOT use NANDA):
*RISK OF AMONG RELATED TO
Health *Risk/problem of (specific injury, illness, or potential of, complication of, etc) Among
(specific population) Related to (supporting evidence from your assessment findings).
➢ Your CHN Diagnoses MUST be something that a community/public health nurse can do
something about. See example below.
➢ Note: Poverty is NOT a CHN diagnosis.
➢ Remember do NOT use NANDA Nursing Diagnoses.
For example: Risk of asthma complications among children in SE Dallas County related to
observations of overcrowded living conditions, lack of public transportation (may result in
inability to access health care), high number of animals observed living in homes, poverty
indications (may result in lack of access to medications).
