The nursing student will provide directions and the parameters of the community that they will survey.

Conduct a windshield survey on a community.

Using the information provided in the assigned readings collect as much information about the community as you can using your observation and five senses.
Students will complete this in a community of their choice. The survey may be conducted from a motor vehicle, bicycle or on foot. When collecting the information by vehicle, one person records the information about the community observations while the vehicle is driven by another person. Students are required to supplement their windshield surveys with photographs, video, maps etc. of the community to support the descriptive assessment.
