A community health nurse is assigned to work in a different area of the city.Which of the following assessment techniques would she likely use to develop an overview of the community? Select all that apply.

A) Windshield survey
B) Review of demographic data
C) Physical assessment of a sample of the inhabitants
D) Review of the records of area providers

A windshield survey and review of demographic data provide data about the community.She may interview area residents about their experiences or ideas about this community; however,physical examination of a sample of the inhabitants would not give her community-level data.Similarly,she may wish to meet with area providers,but reviewing their records violates HIPAA laws and assumes that the records accurately reflect the health concerns of the population.
