The Windshield Survey includes an assessment of eight community subsystems: physical environment, health and social services, economics, safety and transportation, politics and government, communication, education, and recreation with the purpose of identifying the community health nursing role regarding the needs of the population assessed. Groups will be assigned a community, or municipality.
Each group will conduct a virtual walk-through (drive-thru) assessment of the community, noting evidence of the strengths/weaknesses/resources (city websites, community health departments, census data), develop a nursing diagnosis, and propose community interventions. Your results will be presented in a 20-minute PowerPoint presentation
