1. Nurses' roles in population-based healthcare are varied and multifaceted because the nurses work in all areas of the intervention wheel. A nurse is an instrumental asset in Intervention Wheel; they help in the implementation of the interventions at every level of the Intervention Wheel. 2. Surveillance helps monitor and evaluate health events through systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of data of a given population(Stanhope & Lancaster,2017). Screening is checking for signs and symptoms of a disease so as to prevent it before it happens; hence offering blood pressure at a county fair is a way of screening. Disease and other health event investigations involve collecting data about a disease outbreak. Outreach is an intervention whereby the public health nurse reaches on to the population at risk or finds a population of interest and distributes information. 3. Hosting a mental health awareness discussion at an older adult center coffee hour event is an outreach intervention because the nurse has identified a population at risk: older adults. This is a population at risk of developing mental health problems like depression and hence ideal for the PHN to create awareness when they are assembling together during happy hour. 4. Case management utilizes self-care and the capacity of systems to provide services. Case management involves not only nurses but other people to help in meeting the patient's needs. Referral and follow up the nurse assists the individual with resources where they can get more help. A PHN can refer an individual to a food bank, shelter, or employment bureau. Delegated functions are those functions a nurse assigns to someone else or are given to a nurse by someone else. If a doctor orders a vaccine to be delivered, then the nurse has to carry the task which has been delegated by the doctor. 5. Coordinating the services of clinic providers, a WIC nutritionist, and a family health aide to provide ongoing support and to teach a young mother overfeeding her infant is an example of a case management intervention that is individualfocused. The young mother may not know she is overfeeding her child, and hence the nutritionist and family health aide interventions will enlighten the young mother. 6. Delegated functions are functions that a nurse assigns to another individual to do under their guidance or another person delegates to the nurse to do. The pediatrician ordered a vaccine to be administered to a newborn; hence the act of administering the vaccine was given/delegated to the nurse by the pediatrician. 7. Consultation involves asking others to get information to help in making decisions and getting solutions. Counseling is a way of helping an individual develop a coping mechanism by establishing rapport. Health teaching gives individuals’ information that helps them change the way they perceive things. 8. Developing new evidence-based best-practice guidelines for lice treatment to be used by clinics, schools, and pharmacists. This is a health teaching intervention because it is giving individuals ways that have been proven to fight lice. It is a system-focused health teaching intervention since it is dealing with clinics, schools, and pharmacists.
