    Nurse Michael faced challenges similar to late 1800s public health nurses by assisting with sanitation, administering vaccines, and providing health education to Mrs. T. Nurse Michael's nursing care was similar to Mary Breckinridge's Frontier Nursing Service by coming to Mrs. T.'s home and arranging Meals-on-Wheels to improve her access to care. While nursing leaders of the past focused on communicable diseases, Nurse Michael cares for clients with chronic illnesses, as public health nurses today focus more on chronic conditions than the communicable diseases of the early 1900s.

    CASE STUDY 1

    Questions

    1. What challenges did Nurse Michael face in his first visit with Mrs. T. that public health nurses
    (PHNs) in the late 1800s also faced?

     Many of the varied and challenging roles of community-oriented nurses can be traced
    to the late 1800s, when public health efforts focused on environmental conditions such
    as sanitation; control of communicable diseases; education for health; prevention of
    disease and disability; and care of sick persons in their homes. Nurse Michael improved
    Mrs. T.'s sanitation by assisting her with her bath and enlisting the services of the home
    health aide. By administering the influenza vaccine, Michael aided in controlling
    communicable diseases in the community and prevented future disease and disability
    for Mrs. T. Finally, Nurse Michael provided education for health by promoting exercise
    and enlisting the Meals-on-Wheels program so she could gain energy and strength.

    2. From your knowledge about the history of public health, compare an example of care
    displayed by nursing leaders of the past versus the current activities of Nurse Michael. For
    example, how was Nurse Michael’s nursing care similar to what Mary Breckinridge provided in
    the Frontier Nursing Service (FNS)?

     Mary Breckinridge established the Frontier Nursing Service (FNS), which provided
    food, supplies, and health care services to mountain families. Nurse Michael improved
    Mrs. T.'s access to care by coming to her home and enlisting Meals-on-Wheels to bring
    her food that she could not prepare for herself. The history of community-oriented
    nursing is characterized not by change in the specific focus of the specialty, but by
    continuity in the approach and style of practice. Nursing leaders of the past were
    focused on communicable diseases, whereas public health nurses of today are focused
    on chronic illnesses. Leaders of the past provided care in a professional and caring
    manner to populations that struggled with access to health care, just as public health
    nurses of today do.

    3. How do the types of illnesses of Nurse Michael’s clients differ from the types of illnesses that
    were experienced by clients of PHNs in the early 1900s?

     Most of Nurse Michael's clients are receiving care for complications from chronic
    illnesses (e.g., osteoporosis, heart disease), whereas nurses in the early 1900s were
    more focused on caring for clients with communicable diseases (e.g., pneumonia,
    tuberculosis, diarrhea/enteritis) and on preventing the spread of these diseases.
