Define community nursing as it relates to nurse practitioner practice.

Community nursing is an approach to healthcare that focuses on providing care in the community setting. This form of practice involves working with patients and families in order to address their health needs from a holistic perspective. Community nurses often provide services such as chronic disease management, preventive care, health promotion and education, mental health counseling, and home-based care among others.

As a nurse practitioner, my role within the community is twofold: firstly, I strive to act as an advocate for individuals living within my local area by helping them access appropriate resources and obtaining necessary support; secondly, I seek to promote well-being through preventive measures designed to reduce risk of illness or injury. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure every patient receives quality healthcare regardless of their socio-economic status or geographical location while striving for improved outcomes at both the individual and community level.
