What information does the geographic expansion of family-focused assessment to the community level provide the nurse?

2. Existing health disparities
3. Family health history

5. Historic migration patterns
1, 2, 4
Rationale:
A broad snapshot of a community's health strengths (factors supporting health) and weaknesses (health disparities) can be obtained from a "windshield survey" or a geographic information system (GIS). Risks to health can also be obtained from the geographic expansion of a family-focused assessment to the community level. A family history is obtained from assessment of the family, not the community. Historic migration patterns are obtained through genetic assessment, not community assessment.
