The nurse assesses a community undergoing change. Five years ago, a series of setbacks caused the local foundry to close. Through interviews, the nurse discovers that generations of families worked at the foundry
Research indicates that no other businesses have been able to provide work for those who no longer work at the foundry. Developmental data gathered through this research into the community's history will help the nurse: (Select all that apply.)
A) Determine what resources were available before the foundry closed
B) Determine what variables may have enhanced or detracted from community development
C) Develop an understanding of the community's strengths and resources today
D) Understand cultural changes within the community over time
E) Identify where in the community health clinics are most needed
Ans: A, B, D
Feedback:
Both historical informants and mined data (i.e., data that are examined through extensive and rigorous searches) can help describe the cultural changes within a community or aggregate over time to inform the future. In this way, developmental data are obtained and then compared to determine what variables may have enhanced or detracted from development and what resources were available at the time. Historical research would not help you develop an understanding of the community's strengths and resources today; an assets-based approach would help you do that. Historical research would also not help you identify where in the community health clinics are most needed; a windshield survey or use of geographic information systems would help you do that.
