AB  - Dan  was  recently  employed  as  a  public  health  nurse  (PHN)  by  a  county  health  department.  After  two  months  on  the  job,  he  needs  to  assist  other  PHNs  in  COVID-19  pandemic  response  work.  All  confirmed  COVID-19  cases  require  contact  investigation  and  tracing.  In  addition,  community  vaccination  clinics  are  under  way.  Coordinating  this  work  at  the  local  and  state  levels  is  important  because  the  pandemic  response  involves  numerous  roles  and  duties  for  local  public  health,  and  partnering  with  state  agencies  to  handle  the  many  demands  is  critical.Dan  has  never  worked  for  the  government.  During  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.  Dan  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?”
