This APA paper is expected to be no more than four pages in length (not including the title page and reference list).

This paper has a topic already chosen, be sure to write only on the topic assigned. It may not be the same topic you are seeing in this tutorial. You will want to read and take notes on the setting and role(s) in your textbook and also find at least one scholarly peer-reviewed journal article that is not assigned in the course related to a nurse’s role in health promotion in this setting. The link to the library is also provided in the guidelines. Search peer-reviewed journals to find a scholarly article on this topic. The article must be less than 10 years old (less than 5 years is best).
The first component of this assignment is a title page including the Running head and page number. Next, you will start this paper with an introduction that will give a brief overview of the assigned community setting. Then, briefly identify CHN role(s) in this setting and identify vulnerable population(s) served in this setting. Be sure to include a purpose statement.
The next section will focus on the community setting, 2-3 paragraphs is sufficient. Start by describing the assigned community setting, including vulnerable population(s) served. Discuss three health services provided a CHN in the assigned setting. Use your textbook or an outside scholarly source to address these sub-points.
The next part of the paper focuses on health promotion nursing intervention. Again, this should be two to three paragraphs. You will want to describe in detail health promotion intervention(s) that a CHN could implement in the assigned community setting. Next, identify people/organizations/community members this CHN role may collaborate with in health promotion interventions. You must utilize at least one peer-reviewed scholarly article related to a health promotion intervention.
The subsequent area of focus will be on a professional nursing organization. Provide a detailed description of a professional nursing organization related to the assigned community setting.

If you can’t find an organization specific to this group, search the American Nurses Association (ANA) website for information on this role. Cite the organization in the body of the text with (organization name, year), and include a complete reference on the reference page. At the end of this section, discuss one professional issue that this organization is addressing related to the assigned community setting.
