AB  - Dan  was  recently  employed  as  a  public  health  nurse  (PHN)  by  a  county  health  department.  After  two  months  on  the  job,  he  is  asked  to  assist  other  PHNs  in  responding  to  a  recent  outbreak  of  measles.  All  confirmed  cases  to  date  are  in  the  Somali  population.  Unfortunately,  the  Somali  communities  have  been  targeted  with  misinformation  about  vaccine  risks  and  have  subsequently  struggled  with  low  rates  of  MMR  immunization.Dan  has  never  worked  for  the  government.  Through  the  orientation  process,  he  begins  to  wonder  whether  he  will  ever  understand  how  the  different  levels  of  government  work  together.  He  refers  to  his  orientation  materials  for  Population-Based  Public  Health  Nursing  Competency  #5,  which  focuses  on  working  with  governmental  systems.  He  comments  to  his  supervisor,  Carol,  “This  competency  has  so  many  parts.  How  will  I  ever  understand  what  all  these  terms  mean  for  the  work  I  am  doing?”
