Conduct a windshield survey within your community zip code region (radius of 10 miles north, south, east, and west). The community/public health nurse utilizes the nursing process to determine the needs for the community as the client. The student will conduct a windshield survey, identify components for the social determinants of health (SOD), and describe the three components of the community. This assessment will allow the student to gain insight for systematically gathering community health resources and information.

Instructions: This is a research paper.

The research paper should contain a minimum of two (2) pages and a maximum of four (4) pages excluding cover and reference pages, and in APA 7th edition format.

Teaching

Over these past 8 weeks, we have explored a variety of leadership topics and issues in healthcare. As we evaluated these issues, you have also completed several self-assessments; leadership style, emotional intelligence, and self-care. The goal was to help you be more self-aware of your personal strengths and identify opportunities for improvement. As part of this learning experience, you are to write a 1-page reflection. This reflection should address the following:

• How has your understanding of transformational leadership evolved over the course of this class?
• What new insights have you gained regarding your own leadership strengths and weaknesses?
• Describe two (2) new strategies you have gained during this course and how you plan to build on them.
• What specific actions will you take in the next 6 months to continue growing as a transformational leader?

Assignment Prompt:

A 6-month-old male patient presents to your clinic with his mother. The mothers chief complaint is that the baby has had a fever and diarrhea for several days and is not nursing as much as usual. The infant is quiet and warm, lung sounds are clear, and heart sounds normal. No medical history, born healthy at 39 weeks 5 days via uncomplicated vaginal delivery, he is exclusively breastfed and is up-to-date on his vaccinations.

• What are 5 questions you would ask the mother next? (Include the rationales for these questions)
• What additional signs/symptoms would alert you that this infant may need to be transferred to the ER?
• What are your top 3 differential diagnoses? (Include ICD codes and rationales)

Submission should be in APA format. Include an introduction/conclusion, etc. Review the rubric carefully before submitting.

Attached is a rubric for this assignments expectations.

I have a paper I wrote out for my class I would like editing and in the correct formate with the one work cited mention.
