Flyer for Community-Based Nurse
Nurses are very important health personnel to the whole community. They assist in the promotion of good health practices and general advice on health matters within a community. A nurse in a community can therefore identify problems that are health related in the community and attempt to find solutions to these problems (Tornyay, 2012).
This paper therefore summarizes on a flyer that is created by a community-based nurse who aims at getting information from the community on a specific problem they identified through their assessment and measures that they may take in finding a solution to the problem.
A community-based nurse working in the health department specifically the STD clinic department decides to design a flyer. The decision is aimed at getting as much information as possible on HIV which is the most rampant STD in the community. The nurse aims at getting information and tries to offer possible solution in terms of reducing the spread of this STD.
The flyer is designed to target adults in the community who in this case will include the youth and parents. This target group is chosen since the people that are being targeted are sexually active and HIV transmitted through sexual intercourse. The location for this talk will be the community health care centre since most of the people go there for all their health matters.
The fliers will be distributed on the streets, in churches and also on a door to door basis. This is to ensure that as many people as possible will get information on the upcoming event and purpose to attend since they will information prior. Those who will attend will get advice on how to prevent contracting HIV and also those who have it can live positively with it. The purpose of this talk is in line with the achievement of the sixth millennium development goal of eradicating HIV (Briney, 2008).
