.  The first approach that can be utilized is educating the population on the significance of primary care (Abdallat, Samadi, & Abbadi, 2000). As a nurse, I will educate the community on the purpose of primary care and emergency departments and when to use each.  I will advise them to seek primary care assistance incase of minor childhood illnesses.  Therefore, educating community members allows people to seek primary care services instead of opting for emergency services.
