   1. Education Status

   2. Educational Sources: Public and private schools and day care facilities, libraries, home-schooled

   3. Educational Services for Specific Populations

   4. Programs for Special Populations

Section 2: Population-Based Nursing Diagnosis

Review the literature and Web sites related to the population chosen. Include the following:

1. Discuss the identified strengths of the community

2. Prioritized population nursing diagnosis list

   1. Develop 3 nursing diagnoses. You may identify both actual and potential problems for the vulnerable population.

   2. Diagnosis should be stated as 3-part nursing diagnosis and prioritized based on Healthy People 2020 or most immediate needs of the vulnerable population.

   3. There should be some correlation to the assessment of the community in this case. Remember that although you will list more, you are only implementing 1 of the 3 nursing diagnoses and coming up with 2 or 3 interventions (including clearly identifying levels of prevention) you have prioritized.

   4. You should propose what needs to be done in 1 month, 6 months, and then 1 year. That means an intervention with ongoing plans. If you teach seatbelt use today, what will you do in 6 months to follow up? (e.g., you might have police there to check that seat belts are being used).

Please include rationale (with cited sources) for the prioritized nursing diagnoses identified for the community or population.
