Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Manual for Public Health Nurses
One of two reasons usually in?uences a community to employ a public health nurse; first, the knowledge of the existence of a considerable amount of sickness and physical disability in the municipality for which no adequate remedial care is provided; or second, the belief that such a condition may exist of which the actual extent is unknown, with the conviction that if existing the situation should be corrected. A nurse is thus often employed to make a survey of health and sanitary conditions and report thereon to the agency employing her. As a result of such report a campaign may be organized to provide the machinery for the correction of the conditions. This may call for a consolidated health district, a hospital or free clinic of some sort, or for the permanent employment of a public health nurse.
