    Community health nursing combines nursing skills with public health and social assistance as part of a comprehensive public health program. It focuses on health promotion, education, and care of individuals, families, and communities. Specifically, community health nurses plan and implement health programs, provide counseling and education, organize communities and coordinate services, deliver direct nursing care, monitor health in the community, conduct research, and act as agents of change. While similar to clinical nursing, community health nursing extends care beyond individuals to families and communities with the goal of promoting wellness and preventing illness.

    educations/ concerning premarital, breastfeeding, and immunization
    counselling.

    The recipient of care/ of community health nursing practice/ is
    extended not only to the individual/ but also to benefit the whole
    family and community. As a community organizer, the CHN promotes

    participation in planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating of
    health services; and initiates and implements/ community
    development activities.

    health status of all recipients of care; and records and reports health
    status/ and presence of health problems in the community.

    This field of nursing practice utilizes a dynamic process – assessment,
    planning, implementation, and evaluation – in the provision of
    continuous care/ until termination is implicit.

    Community health nursing/ is not entirely different in nursing practice/


    with that of clinical nursing/ confined in the four corners of the hospital.
    It also promotes wellness/ and prevents illness/ through education and
    health teachings, provides comfort and care/ through its delicate
    nursing care interventions, and emphasizes curative/ and rehabilitative
    interventions/ through individualized efficient approaches. But its
    peculiarity involves not only caring a single client/ but by extending
    thru the whole family and the community. It is further defined as a
    unique blend of nursing and public health practice/ woven into a
    human service/ that is properly developed and applied/ by which has a
    tremendous impact on human well-being. Thus, taking this into
    consideration/ makes its roles and responsibilities/ a tremendous mix/
    of art and science, too.
