Windshield Survey Tool

This is the research from the community of Ridley Park Pennsylvania I did. You need this research to do the nursing planning and implimentation papers. I will attached the rubric for the nursing planning and the nursing implimentation paper.

Nurses must be able to knowledgeably plan services for individuals, families, and the community. To effectively develop a care plan, it is essential that the nurses are aware of the resources specific to the community a client resides in to allow for identification of health-related resources and to understand gaps in services. A windshield survey is conducted from a car and provides a visual overview of a community. Other online resources such as Google Earth and EPA.gov can be used to collect data as well. Conditions and trends in the community that could affect the health of the population with a focus on well older adult should be noted. This data provides the information to then make appropriate nursing diagnoses and plans of care. Information gathered from this survey should be added to this template. Please upload the completed document in Canvas assignments when due.
