Selecting the Aggregate

This week, you learned how Nurse Smith collected relevant demographic and statistical information about the aggregate she was assigned to care for.

You can use her experience to help you with your Capstone project. While working on your project, document your findings along with details of those professionals who assisted you.

Here are the key points covered this week:

An aggregate is a collection of individuals who have one or more personal or environmental characteristics in common.

Community-based nursing care involves setting up a specific practice. Care is provided for clients and families where they live, work, and attend school.

Population-focused practice refers to an environment where problems are defined by assessments or diagnoses and solutions or interventions are implemented for a defined population or subpopulation.

Epidemiologists study the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specific populations and then apply this study to control health problems.

Applied epidemiology assists healthcare professionals to focus their problem-solving efforts on the emergent issues.
