Advocacy Assignment
Nursing 492-Community Health Nursing
Purpose of the Assignment
The purpose of this assignment is to allow the student the opportunity to individually complete an in-depth analysis of a health issue in order to serve as an expert witness advocating for community health nursing and consumers. An issue involves controversy and therefore may include positive and negative aspects. Students are expected to present a sound logical argument regarding the issue assigned.
Student Approach to Assignment
My approach to this assignment was to choose a subject I feel strongly about and something I feel is imperative to personal and community health. I chose a bill in the Virginia legislature, Bill SB 1083. This bill would require meningococcal vaccinations to be added to the recommended immunizations for school aged children. By integrating this immunization into the recommended immunizations outbreaks of meningitis could be eliminated or diminished.
