Community health nurses work with populations that
vary from country to country, and to serve them
appropriately requires an understanding of the ways in
which the context in which they are located interacts
with their health status and health histories. Student
nurses are spending a month in Africa reviewing global
health and international community health nursing.
1. The student nurses are required to examine the
population in Africa to assess the kinds of health
conditions the population experiences. What is the
context and framework for delivering community-
based nursing within the context of global health?
2. The student nurses are examining the impact of
disease patterns on the health of the population of
Africa. What is the demographic transition theory,
and what demographic trends should the student
nurses expect to find in Africa based on this
theory?
3. The student nurses are exploring the social
determinants of health in Africa and how these
affect the global burden of disease in these
countries. What is the global burden of disease,
and how would the student nurses go about
calculating this metric for the countries in Africa
they are studying?

  1. Answers must:
    • Be 100 words or more
