AB  - Maria  has  just  finished  her  six-month  orientation  at  a  local  public  health  department  in  the  Maternal  Child  Health  division.  She  received  her  nursing  license  just  seven  months  ago  after  spending  a  decade  in  business  management  as  a  supervisor  of  a  large  customer  service  and  sales  department.  Maria  is  concerned  about  how  she  can  possibly  assess  all  aspects  of  health  in  high-risk  populations.  One  weekend,  Maria  receives  a  referral  from  the  local  hospital  involving  a  child  who  needs  to  be  seen  by  a  public  health  nurse  (PHN).  Maria  is  excited  and  nervous  about  this  first  case.  The  only  information  she  receives  is  that  the  family  has  a  2-year-old  boy  who  is  being  released  from  the  hospital  after  suffering  an  asthma  attack.  Newly  diagnosed  with  asthma,  the  boy  and  his  family  need  education  and  a  home  assessment.Maria  calls  the  mother  to  set  a  time  for  the  visit.  While  driving  to  the  home,  Maria  mentally  reviews  everything  she  knows  about  asthma.  She  anticipates  that  education  will  be  easy  because  she  has  a  son  with  asthma  and  is  familiar  with  the  disease  process  and  management.  Upon  arrival  at  the  home,  she  becomes  slightly  uneasy  with  the  multiple  dogs  and  cats  roaming  the  yard.  She  knocks  several  times  on  the  trailer  door  before  a  man  answers  and  lets  her  inside  the  home.  Maria  enters  the  kitchen,  and  everyone  exchanges  introductions.  Marcus,  the  boy  with  asthma,  is  quiet  in  his  mother's  arms.  His  brothers,  1  and  5  years  of  age,  are  running  around  the  kitchen  table,  trying  to  open  Maria's  nursing  bag,  jumping  on  her,  and  attempting  to  take  her  pen.  It  is  very  chaotic.  Maria  has  to  overcome  her  anxiety  as  she  realizes  that  completing  a  nursing  assessment  is  going  to  be  a  challenge.
