Community nursing requires the nurse to be well-informed of the community, knowledge on needs of people in the community, and the capability to diagnosis, plan and implement the necessities for the community. To provide quality outcomes for a community, the use of a conceptual model help in guiding the professional nurse on assessing the needs, prioritizing needs and the listing the severity of needs. The process of using a conceptual model can be compared to the nursing processes which consist to assessing the needs of a patient, diagnosing needs, planning needs of the patient, implementation of the plan, and evaluating the success of the plan. A conceptual model and the nursing process are used to recognize problems and find solutions or outcomes for the listed problems

Survival of a community works best when a partnership is developed with the nurse and the community. The collaboration of the partnership can work to address the needs of the community while working on planning and implementing change. “The nurse works in partnership with community groups to enhance the capacity, resourcefulness, vitality, and support to create change within the community” (Ervin, 2002, p. 61). Community partnerships show the nurse and the community possibilities for improvement. This paper will discuss the Developmental Model of Health and how it may be used in a community setting, how the model compares to the nursing process and whether the model can be used in the parameters of a community partnership.

  • The Nursing Process

    1513 Words  | 4 Pages

    The nursing process is one of the most fundamental yet crucial aspects of the nursing profession. It guides patient care in a manner that creates an effective, safe, and health promoting process. The purpose and focus of this assessment paper is to detail the core aspects of the nursing process and creating nursing diagnoses for patients in a formal paper. The nursing process allows nurses to identify a patient’s health status, their current health problems, and also identify any potential health risks the patient may have. The nursing process is a broad assessment tool that can be applied to every patient but results in an individualized care plan tailored to the most important needs of the patient. The nurse can then implement this outcome oriented care plan and then evaluate and modify it to fit the patient’s progress (Taylor, C. R., Lillis, C., LeMone, P., & Lynn, P., 2011). The nursing process prioritizes care, creates safety checks so that essential assessments are not missing, and creates an organized routine, allowing nurses to be both efficient and responsible.
