Community-oriented nurses need effective leadership, interpersonal, political, organizational, fiscal, analytical, and information competencies. Working in the community involves:

1. Highly technical skills in acute care as a background
2. Great political savvy to deal with local officials
3. Computer and word-processing skills
4. Being able to work with populations and groups to build coalitions and work with partnerships

Question 2

The key opportunities for population-focused practice exist because:

1. Population-focused care will replace acute care.
2. Universal health insurance coverage for all Americans will become a reality and subgroups will not need to be monitored.
3. The primary focus of the health care system of the future will be on communi-ty-oriented strategies for health promotion and disease prevention.
4. As more nurse leaders are trained, more students will choose community health nursing as a career.
