Windshield Survey Tool: Manassas City 20110

Windshield Survey Tool
Nurses must be able to plan services for individuals, families, and the community knowledgeably. In order to effectively plan, it is essential that you are aware of the resources specific to the community a client resides in to allow for the identification of health-related resources and to understand gaps in services. A windshield survey is conducted from a car and provides a visual overview of a community. Conditions and trends in the community that could affect the health of the population should be noted. This data provides background and context for working with individuals and families in their community. Information gathered from this survey should be added to this template. If data is collected (statistical, informational, geographic), then a reference page using APA format (6th edition) is expected.
