Option 1: Everyone has been impacted by COVID-19.  Describe the following for your peers: a) How has your professional life been impacted by the pandemic? b) How has your personal life been impacted by the pandemic? c) Putting your community health nurse hat on, what can you do as a nurse to help the community with prevention and care during the pandemic (not bedside nursing)?

Option 2: HIV and AIDS are a major public health concern in the state of Florida, yet many nurses are unaware of prevention and treatment options.  Using your text book and external resources, explain the role of PrEP and PEP thoroughly including the indications for each, patient education, resources for HIV and Aids in your geographic region, and how the community nurse can increase awareness of options, particularly for PrEP.
