Concepts basic to meeting the health needs of HUMANITY, particularly individuals, families, groups, and communities of diverse cultural and social backgrounds in community and rural settings are presented. The impact of the ENVIRONMENT upon the community as the client, and the interrelationship of the HEALTH status of the individual and of the community is explored. Health promotion and disease/illness prevention, along with the principles of epidemiology are addressed. A variety of teaching strategies are used to synthesize the baccalaureate nursing roles and evidence-based practice to provide quality care for individuals, families, groups, and communities. Students will complete a service learning project in which they reflect on their service to the community in light of servant leadership.
