| b) | Structure of the tracts, effectiveness of the community, and current status |
| c) | Number of clients with health problems compared with the number of healthcare providers |
| d) | Community organizations and beliefs about their role in the community |
ANS:Â B
To understand a community and its needs, the nurse must assess the community’s structure, status (the biological, social, and emotional outcome components of the community), and process (overall effectiveness of the community). Income level and demographic data, such as community organizations and healthcare providers, are included in the assessment of the community structure. The number of clients with health problems is only a part of the assessment of the community status.

PTS:Â Â 1
| a) | Ninety percent of members report adequate access to primary care services. |
| b) | Immunization services are available at hospitals and clinics. |
| c) | Affordable housing in the community is under construction. |
| d) | Mortality rates have been stable over the past 5 years. |
ANS:Â A
Evidence of health in a community can be judged by examining progress in the focus areas delineated in Healthy People 2020. Access to primary care services is a measurable outcome that provides evidence of effectiveness of health programs. The availability of immunization services at the hospital or at many offices does not provide evidence that these services are being used. Similarly, the fact that affordable housing is under construction does not mean that it is being accepted and used nor that enough is being built. Mortality rates may be stable but could be quite high and within unacceptable parameters.

Community-oriented care combines elements of community health nursing and public health. School nursing focuses is optimizing health for a community of students in a school setting.
