Answer preview

The relationship community health nurses form with individuals and families from underserved communities is vital. This is because these relationships will help community health nurses identify families’ health needs, and thus, come up with effective strategies to address these needs. Furthermore, these relationships can also help with the assessment of the efficacy of the strategies used to satisfy a family’s health needs.
