AB Up  to  this  point  in  your  nursing  education,  you  have  probably  been  immersed  in  learning  how  to  provide  nursing  care  to  individuals  and  families  with  health  concerns  in  institutional  settings  such  as  acute  care  and  long-term  care,  and  possibly  in  home  care.  This  is  what  most  of  you  envision  as  nursing  and  what  you  are  passionate  about.  Now  we  are  asking  you  to  spread  your  wings  and  think  about  the  community  as  your  client  and  to  use  the  word  client  instead  of  patient.  You  might  be  thinking,  “This  is  not  what  I  was  planning  to  do  in  my  nursing  career—why  am  I  here?”  or  “How  can  I  provide  nursing  care  to  an  entire  community?”  As  you  read  this  book,  you  will  learn  the  answers  to  these  questions.  You  will  gain  both  knowledge  and  entry-level  competencies  in  providing  nursing  care  for  an  entire  community,  an  at-risk  population  group  in  the  community,  or  at-risk  individuals  and  families  in  their  homes  or  other  community  settings.
