Conduct a “Windshield Survey” in a section of your community. Instructions for the survey can be found in Stanhope and Lancaster (2016) on page 416, Table 18-6. As you notice, conducting a Windshield Survey requires that you either walk around or drive around a particular section of the community and take notes about what you observe. A Windshield Survey cannot be conducted by reviewing websites or Google Earth only. It requires actually taking a look at the selected area of the community. This survey should be focused on the problem and population you have selected for your practicum project. If you choose, for example, obesity among Hispanic schoolchildren, you might want to locate a section of the community where many Hispanic children live, or you might want to conduct the Windshield Survey around where Hispanic children attend school. If Hispanic children are not found in a specific section of your community (e.g., Chinatown in San Francisco or Harlem in New York), then you may select the section of the community where you live or work but pay particular attention to your practicum population and practicum problem as you conduct a survey of the community as viewed through the eyes of the public health nurse.

What are the different types of evidence and how does one evaluate a source’s reliability in nursing?
Understanding the different levels, or hierarchy, of research evidence and how they relate to your research question will help you in determining the appropriate levels of support when engaged in the research process. To that end, you must consider how primary and secondary sources contribute to research as well as the meaningfulness of peer-reviewed articles and meta-analyses for promoting future research.
To prepare for this Discussion,
By Day 3
Post the following:
Explain the challenges of performing a literature search. Then, describe the search engines and the search terms that you used in your online search related to your specific clinical problem for your EBP Project. Explain what went well, what were the challenges, and the amount of time needed to complete the search. In the responses to classmates’ posts please discuss what recommendations that you would give your classmates to improve their searches.
