AB José  is  with  the  Elders  at  Home  Program  for  his  public  health  nursing  clinical.  He  is  assigned  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Santos,  a  couple  in  their  70s  struggling  to  manage  their  healthcare  needs  and  stay  in  their  home  in  an  older  inner-city  neighborhood.  Mrs.  Santos  provides  primary  assistance  for  her  husband,  who  has  advanced  chronic  obstructive  pulmonary  disease  (COPD).  After  a  recent  hospitalization,  Mr.  Santos  received  home  care  services  from  a  home  care  nurse,  respiratory  therapist,  occupational  therapist,  and  home  health  aide.  These  services  were  reimbursed  by  Medicare  because  Mr.  Santos  met  the  criteria  of  potential  for  rehabilitation  and  progress  toward  independent  living.  All  went  well.  Then  a  60-day  health  assessment  resulted  in  a  determination  that  Mr.  Santos  was  no  longer  eligible  for  home  care  services.  He  was  referred  to  the  county  public  health.  Elders  at  Home  Program  but  has  been  resisting  a  home  visit.  José  wonders,  “I  am  just  a  student  nurse.  What  can  I  do?”  He  sighs,  “Well,  it  looks  like  my  preceptor  has  handed  me  a  challenge  I  can't  avoid.  Isn't  there  a  chapter  we  are  supposed  to  read  on  leadership  in  public  health  nursing?
