Assignment task: For this assignment, you will choose a natural or human-made disaster that could impact a community at the national level. Then you will create a digital infographic of how a community health nurse (CHN) can help the community to prepare or respond to this disaster at the local level.
Step 1: Conduct research to choose a natural or human-made disaster that could impact a community at the national level. Also conduct research to choose a potential communicable disease outbreak. Visit the U.S. government's website Ready and its Pandemics page. Review the steps for being prepared for a disaster or pandemic. Consider how well the local community is prepared for a potential outbreak or disaster.
Step 2: Outline how a community health nurse can help to prevent or respond to the disaster and communicable disease outbreak you selected. Conduct additional research as necessary. Digital Learning Connections icon
Step 3: Select a tool to create your infographic. See potential tools on the Presentation Tools page or select one on your own.
