Community health nursing focuses on providing healthcare services to individuals, families, and communities within their own environment. Nurses in this field work to promote and protect the health of populations through various strategies such as health education, disease prevention, and community outreach programs. They often collaborate with other healthcare professionals and community organizations to address public health issues and improve overall well-being. Ambulatory care refers to healthcare services provided on an outpatient basis, meaning patients receive care without being admitted to a hospital. This includes medical consultations, diagnostic tests, treatment procedures, and follow-up appointments conducted in clinics, physician offices, or other outpatient settings. Ambulatory care aims to offer convenient, timely, and cost-effective healthcare services while promoting patient autonomy and minimizing the need for hospitalization. It encompasses a wide range of specialties and disciplines to address diverse healthcare needs outside of the hospital setting.
