Document Summary
The nurse can facilitate drop-in sessions within community programs or at local schools to spread the awareness of traffic injuries of pedestrians and cyclists in poor urban neighborhoods. The public health nurse can educate the community on how to prevent injuries of both pedestrians and cyclists, highlighting prevention strategies to inform the community. The nurse can collaborate with the government and other members of the community to evaluate current bike lanes, sidewalk conditions and rates for community bike share. This allows a review of funding for low-income individuals to have equal access to the cycling program as well as make bike lanes safer to reduce accidents overall. The nurse will assess current services and programs related to cycling and pedestrian accidents and determine its current and strengths and weaknesses. Through surveys and open discussions with the community, they can bring these results to governments and health services in order to implement change while meeting community needs.
