Hello MariaL,
I agree that community health nurses identify the patient’s need and refer the patient and their families to appropriate services that would help meet their needs. For example, I used to work at a peds home health agency and my patient was a 4 year old girl with cerebral palsy. I would assess her coordination, speech, and swallowing and notify her therapists and doctors of any change in condition and recommend treatments. Thanks for sharing!

MariaL,
“Jack of all trades,” is the way I describe a public health/community health nurse, because as you state their role is important, and is really multifaceted. Perhaps this is another reason why it seemed so difficult to describe their role working with elderly populations as well as all populations within the community. Each case is different; the community health nurse must be able to recognize the needs of the patient. This extends beyond the goals and perspective of the patient.
