NURS4465: Windshield Survey Assessment
1. COMPLETE WEEK 1 ONLY!
2. MUST USE THE TEMPLATE ONLY
3. Must use my location: Fort Worth, TX 76104
4.FOLLOW RUBRIC PRECISELY
Please Note:
1. As I said above you are supposed to use my location: Fort Worth, TX 76104 (MANDATORY)
2. Each box for week on must be completed with detailed information.
3. The rubric states: “Locate a community focal/starting point (for example, neighborhood, church, clinic, school, other) in the city or county where you live. Once you select a focal or starting point, you will conduct a survey of the community surrounding the site. Specifically, you will survey a 10-block radius of the facility – 10 blocks north, 10 blocks south, 10 blocks east, and 10 blocks west. If something is not within the area of the community you are surveying (for example, a Hospital), note such and state how far away it is and how people will access it. If you do not see something within the community (for example, homeless people) note that no homeless persons were observed. Additionally, you will survey two community members about their perceptions of the 2 health and 1 safety needs/issues and 2 strengths of their community (Make up the people you interview). “
4. This assignment must be very very detailed, not broad and generic (you cannot just put yes, no, railroads, and basic one work statements). You will have to use maps, google earth, and research. If you can’t do it, that is fine just cancel the question. Here is a sample I found online of how this needs to be done and how much detail is needed.
5. This is a decent example of what you sould do and the amount of detail. Please view this same:

WINDSHIELD SURVEY CONSIDERATIONS
If you do not use this template, there will be a 10- point grade penalty, and you will be required to resubmit within 48 hours, or a zero will be given. In order to do this assignment, you must put aside prior knowledge about your community and gather information as if you were observing places and things for the first time. You will be reporting on only those things you observe through the windshield. Use the information found in the Instruction document to complete this assignment to guide this observation experience.
Use a map of your county to decide what areas you will include in the windshield survey.
Use the attached assignment document to create a list of things to observe.
It is recommended that you request someone else to drive you. This will allow you to focus your attention on what you are observing.
Do not put yourself in danger. If at any point, you feel at risk or threatened, leave the area immediately. Your safety is of utmost importance.
While driving through the various regions, keep detailed notes about what you observe including the different kinds of buildings, businesses, service agencies, and recreational spaces.
Compare and contrast areas by looking at the road conditions, types of housing, people on the streets, rural or urban in nature, etc.
You will complete the tables included in the assignment document with the information that you locate. Your final report should summarize what you find in area you survey.

age distribution; ethnicity or racial group(s) mostly-affected; morbidity and mortality
rates; any data related to life-expectancy in light of the health issues; is there a

3. Community Health Nursing Diagnoses:
Based on your subjective and objective assessment findings above for both Weeks 1 and 2,
write TWO priority community health nursing diagnoses.
You must use this format for correctly writing a CH nursing diagnosis (do NOT use NANDA):
*RISK OF AMONG RELATED TO
Health *Risk/problem of (specific injury, illness, or potential of, complication of, etc) Among
(specific population) Related to (supporting evidence from your assessment findings).
➢ Your CHN Diagnoses MUST be something that a community/public health nurse can do
something about. See example below.
➢ Note: Poverty is NOT a CHN diagnosis.
➢ Remember do NOT use NANDA Nursing Diagnoses.
For example: Risk of asthma complications among children in SE Dallas County related to
observations of overcrowded living conditions, lack of public transportation (may result in
22

inability to access health care), high number of animals observed living in homes, poverty
indications (may result in lack of access to medications).

Introduction: State the PURPOSE of your paper. Provide a brief synopsis of your community
and present two CHN diagnoses with supporting evidence from your observations, reports
from Key Informants and the statistical data from the previous two assignments. Include key
supporting evidence for the two CHN diagnoses.
Remember to cite sources as appropriate.
Based on the 2 CHN Diagnoses you developed in Assignment 2 or modified, select ONE
problem and develop a CH Nursing intervention. Remember to cite sources as appropriate.
1. CHN Diagnosis/Problem you selected:
2. Why did you select this problem? Provide your rational for selecting this problem in 1-2
comprehensive paragraphs (Consider the problem priority criterion below. Provide
supporting community and scientific/authoritative evidence, for example, HEALTHY
PEOPLE 2020, CDC, AHA, other. Remember to cite sources as appropriate. Discuss the
rationale for selecting this problem/Diagnosis.
25
N4465_Assignments Template_Rev._23 ML
Problem Priority Criteria: Consider the following Problem Priority Criteria when
discussing your rationale. Criteria that have been helpful in ranking identified problems
include the following:
1. Community awareness on the problem
2. Community motivation to resolve or better manage the problem
3. Nurses ability to influence problem solution
4. Availability of expertise to solve the problem
5. Severity of the outcomes if the problem is unresolved
6. Speed with which the problem can be solved
(Stanhope and Lancaster. 2014. Public Health Nursing. Elsevier)
3. Develop a plan of nursing intervention. Explain the intervention time line. Remember
to be realistic when setting the goals and the time line for the various intervention
activities to take place.
a) Goals and Objectives
•
Identify two (2) Goals. For example, goals indicate where you want to go.
•
Then, identify two to three (2-3) objectives per goal. For example,
objectives should indicate how you plan to get there, or how you plan to
accomplish the goal(s).
Goal 1:
1. Objective:
2. Objective:
26

3. Objective:
Goal 2:
1. Objective:
2. Objective:
3. Objective:
b) Intervention Objectives Timeline
Explain the intervention objective time line. This time line needs to be realistic.
Under Interventions you should have an intervention for EACH objective you list (if you
have 4 objectives then you should list 4 interventions; if you have 6 objectives (3 for
each goal), then 6 interventions). You can insert rows into that table to accommodate if
needed. If one intervention addressed more than one objective, you must make it clear
in your paper. See the example in the table.
