Community health nursing is guided by the American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics with Interpretive Statements (2005) and the ANA Social Policy Statement (2003). Both of these documents include sections on nurses' responsibility to the public and threats to the health and safety of the community. Florence Nightingale, Lillian Wald, and Margaret Sanger addressed community issues for community health.
