    Public health nursing focuses on healthcare for entire communities and populations rather than individual patients. The goals are preventing disease, promoting health, and maintaining health. Public health nurses provide both direct care to certain populations and indirect care through program management. Their work involves primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. The key characteristics of public health nursing are focusing on the health of the entire population, prioritizing the greatest good for the most people, treating clients as equal partners, emphasizing primary prevention, creating healthy environments and conditions, actively identifying those who could benefit, making optimal use of resources, and collaborating with others.
