Reflection Journal

The emphasis on public health nursing has changed over time. After careful review of the reading, answer the following questions:

What priorities would you set for the work of the public health nurse in today’s global society?

How should a nurse balance the relationship between advocacy and case management?

Describe how the case management process might occur for one of the following practices: school nurse in an elementary school, occupational health nurse in a factory, or ambulatory care nurse in a well-child clinic at a health department. Provide a specific example or scenario to illustrate your response.
Remember to support your response with evidence. This week you will be reflecting on the role of the public health nurse. Please follow the rubric to ensure including all items. I highly recommend using shortened headers for each section to ensure that you meet the requirements for the rubric including:
