NURS FPX 6218 Assessment 2 Assessing Community Health Care Needs

Environmental factors such as population demographics, educational resources, and healthcare accessibility significantly influence community health. Jordan, with a growing population and robust educational infrastructure, exhibits potential for improved health literacy and overall well-being. Access to healthcare organizations, recreational facilities, and religious institutions further contributes to population health. Challenges include limited transportation infrastructure and uncertainties regarding socioeconomic factors impacting health behaviors.

Conclusion

The assessment highlights Jordan’s favorable community conditions but underscores the need for expanded healthcare and educational resources to accommodate the growing population. Addressing these needs through enhanced infrastructure and sustainable management strategies is crucial for promoting community well-being.
