Collaborating With the Community (graded)
Identify a community or aggregate you are currently involved with at home (personal life) or at work.
Cite some major value, major strengths, and health needs of your community or aggregate. How could a
nurse work collaboratively with a community to build on these strengths and facilitate community
empowerment? Keep in mind the different methods of community outreach the nurse could utilize.
Please note: According to Nies and McEwan (2011), the definition of an aggregate is a “community
composed of people who share common characteristics” (p.92). Remember, aggregates do not
necessarily know or interact with one another, but share a common bond such as religious belief, age,
life experience, illness, etc.
