Building upon Health I and II, this course provides students with opportunities to explore health, Aboriginal health, population health, primary health care, and the determinants of health within the context of family, groups, and community. The emphasis of the course is behavioral health promotion and involves family and population assessment, measuring families, groups, and populations, health status, and the role of the community health nurse in relation to health teaching families, groups, and populations in which the students explore previous learned principles of teaching and learning, but focus on transformative learning.
