A critical characteristic of healthcare prevention is community awareness. The nursing
role does not start or culminate in a clinical or hospital site. A nurse can advise and instruct the
community at all times and in all locales, since essentially “Once a nurse, Always a nurse,” while

presentation of the community teaching work plan proposal, its epidemiological justification,
assess the teaching event, the community education feedback, and areas of strengths and
improvements. This event convened at a small community center in (place)??, (state)?? with
patrons 50 years and older as the focus. Primary prevention and health promotion was the focus
of the presentation and its endeavor was to teach the elderly on HIV/AIDS in their cohort. This
educational attention is one of the components both Healthy People 2020 and Alma Ata’s Health
for all global initiatives encompass.

in older people with HIV/AIDS; treatment for HIV infection; how do HIV medicines work?;
antiretroviral medicines used globally to treat HIV infection; barriers to effective antiretroviral
therapy; and some of the ways to overcome the barriers. A PowerPoint presentation was done
and delivered to ?? Community Center, which is a supportive instrument when describing a topic
for individuals that have minute or no knowledge about the topic. The assembly consisted of
seniors, home health caregivers, community
