Write a minimum 600 word summary of the key risks and concerns that you can support based upon the statistical data you have retrieved. You may want to look up some additional data that specifically pertains to the Healthy People 2030 National Health Objective that you have selected if additional information is still needed. Be sure to use citations/references APA formatted. Type here… In addition, write two priority community health nursing diagnoses . Use the correct format for your diagnoses: Problem, Population or location of problem, Etiology, Signs/Symptoms (***Chapter 6, pp. 102 in your textbook). Formatting would be: Problem related to the etiology as evidenced by the signs/symptoms. For example: Risks of asthma complications among children in a southeast Ohio County related to poor air quality, overcrowded living conditions, inability to access health care, high number of animals living in homes, lack of knowledge regarding treatment options, and lack of access to medications as evidenced by increasing numbers of hospitalizations due to asthma complications.
