In fact, some would argue that many, if not most, health risks can be mitigated through
lifestyle and behavioral changes. With this in mind, the health care provider must be aware
of the socioeconomic factors and the lifestyle factors present in a population. Show Less
Both social and cultural factors influence many lifestyle factors. Living environment,
housing conditions, employment factors, diet, and cultural beliefs all play a role in a
person’s levels of risk and resulting health. The nursing assessment must include these
social influences as part of the domain necessary for evaluation and inclusion in the
assessment approach, and integrate a framework for analysis, which includes all the social
milieus associated with each dimension. Evidence-based health assessments are done using
health data from private and public organizations. BSN-FP4002 Capella University

2. Community Health AssignmentThere are many opportunities for gathering health data in a
community, through public health systems and through private records, where approval
has been obtained from participants. Collecting primary data must involve informed
consent. Secondary sources can also be used by obtaining aggregate data from health plans
and health care providers that do not include personalized demographic data. Each of these
data sources can be important to forming a picture of a community’s health, which can then
be compared to national standard data such as that provided through Healthy People 2020.
Understanding the current health status and the perceived needs of a community can help
to provide the valuable information needed to set forth a plan which evaluates the current
and future health needs of the community. BSN-FP4002 Capella University Community
