The international community health nurses suggest using the three eras and the three P’s as helpful guides in this assessment. What are the three eras and the three P’s that the student nurses need to consider?

Older Adults: Aging in Place

Older adults are changing dramatically. The numbers and types of home care services, for example, are mushrooming.

Many of the older population’s health problems can be prevented and their health promoted.

2. The role of the community health nurse as a teacher is an important one. What education can be completed to prevent health problems in this population?
3. Community health nurses face a serious challenge in addressing the needs of the growing and aging population. What are the most common health problems of older adults?
