Solution Preview

Community health nursing is the practice promoting the health and well-being of populations using the social and nursing knowledge (Kulbok, Thatcher, Park & Meszaros, 2012). It focuses on disease prevention and attending to multiple determinants of health. The key principle of public health nursing is ensuring the health needs of the entire population including those of sub-populations. With this principle, public health practitioners work to improve the health outcomes of all populations. Public health nursing is also guided by the principle of primary prevention which ensures health promotion and protection strategies in all assessment and policy development processes.
