Re: Topic 1 DQ 1
Public health involves working with communities and populations with an aim to prevent disease and promote health (Evans‐Agnew, Reyes, Primomo, Meyer & Matlock‐Hightower, 2017). Nurses together with other community stakeholders give advices as well as guide thus encouraging healthy living. Planning health programs define mapping approach used to identify community needs. Public health nurses use acquired knowledge, competencies and skills to help protect and improve health applying and understand community based public resources. The skills obtained help in solving health problems such as making accessible health care resulting from poor living standards and emerging communicable disease.

Effective partnerships is very important for community based solutions required for advancing heath parity by making it a shared value and vision as well as fostering multi-sector collaboration and increasing community’s capacity to shape outcomes (Swider & Cygana, 2020). These different stakeholders include both religious and not for profit organizations help in resource assessments and allotments. NRS 428 Concepts in Community and Public Health. Examples of such organization include health mission, and federal qualified health centers. The partners employ different skills to access resources that serve several roles in ensures there is equity in health. Through resource evaluation, the community is able to understand community culture, needs and resources. In addition, assessing specific organizations like public organizations help to promote involvement in preventing disease as well as promoting health.

Topic 1 DQ 2
Discuss how geopolitical and phenomenological place influence the context of a population or community assessment and intervention.

Topic 1 DQ 2
A geopolitical community refers to a community within a geographical and legal boundary for instance towns, cities and municipality communities. The boundary of a geopolitical community surrounds a territory that can be identified easily on a map. The community either can occur due to manmade territories or manufactured boundaries. Natural boundaries include rivers and mountains that is physical features (Farbotko, Stratford & Lazrus, 2016). Manufactured or manmade boundaries include streets, bridges and railway tracks. Phenomenological community represents a group of people sharing values, interest, beliefs, and goals. Relation destination include religious and social groups. Community is defined as a group of people with common identity, perspective – occupying space in a specified period. The above two factors influence resource allocation. Public health nursing practice ensures justice is observed in terms of access as well as availability of health practice. NRS 428 Concepts in Community and Public Health.The roles of a community health nurse include assessing and identifying population percentage that has high chances of getting infections (Rn, Mmhn & Russo, 2017). Nursing practice is funneled by standards and definitions established by ANA in collaboration with public health services bureau of health profession. Nursing process involves the following steps including assessment, diagnosis, planning, interventions and evaluations and are key in nursing. Nursing process refers to a logic, deliberate, and rational problem solving approach that require organized practice performance. The process may include continuous involvements from patients, families and communities in all stages from assessment to evaluation. However, some processes like diagnosis, planning and intervention are prone to changes based on the new information from patients. Moreover, patients are very important in nursing process since they are not only restricted by physical and emotional limitation as well as ability to participate.References
