Task #2:

View this week’s learning materials regarding performing a community assessment. After viewing these materials, identify a “community” you would like to assess for clinical. When determining which “community” to assess, keep in mind that you need an area that has both business and residential areas. Selecting a small, rural community may make this evolving assignment difficult. Your clinical faculty will approve your community request. Please do not move forward with clinical assignments until you have been authorized to do so.
