In public health nursing, the primary focus is on the health care of communities and populations
rather than on individuals, groups, and families. The goal is to prevent disease and preserve,
promote, restore, and protect health for the community and the population within it. Community-
based Nurses deal primarily with illness-oriented care of individuals and families across the life
span. The aim is to manage acute and chronic health conditions in the community, and the focus
of practice is on individual or
family-centered illness care.

years in 2017, an increase of approximately 60% in just over a century plus through
improvements in (1) sanitation, (2) clean water supplies, (3) making workplaces safer, (4)
ST
improving food and drug safety,
(5) immunizing children, and (6) improving nutrition, hygiene, and housing. Although people are
