By definition, community-based nursing is a setting-specific practice in which care is
y y y y y y y y y y y
provided for ―sick‖ individuals and families where they live, work, and attend school. The
y y y y y y y y y y y y y y
emphasis is on acute and chronic care and the provision of comprehensive, coordinated,
y y y y y y y y y y y y y
andcontinuous care. These nurses may be generalists or specialists in maternal–infant,
y y y y y y y y y y y y
pediatric,adult, or psychiatric mental health nursing. Community-based nursing emphasizes
y y y y y y y y y y
acute andchronic care to individuals and families, rather than focusing on groups,
y y y y y y y y y y y y y
aggregates, or systems.
