Assignment: Scenario One:
The pediatric nurse from the local tertiary center has called the health department to report a child hospitalized
with a diagnosis of plumbism. The public health nurse is familiar with this family as she provides case
management for this woman during her pregnancy. There are two other children under the age of 5 in the
home. This mother lives in a neighborhood where all the houses were built before in the 1940s and at one time
were considered upscale and fashionable. In the last 20 years, many have been abandoned, others have been
divided into apartments, and most tenants could be described as living in poverty with limited education and
underemployed. This neighborhood is located in an older section of a moderately large city.
The Director of Nursing at the city health department has been invited to speak on lead contamination in this
city. Last week, the local television station ran a story on a child being in the local teaching hospital with lead
poisoning. The city council members have also heard from several constituents about the lack of funds to
assist them with the lead’s abatement in their houses.
Create a PowerPoint® with notes to present to the city council. The slides should answer lead poisoning
questions, why it is dangerous, what can be done about it, and what resources may be available to assist. Be
sure to show collaboration with the other key partners in addressing this issue. There should be no more than
15-20 slides. Be sure to include a title slide and a final slide with references using the APA style. There should
be a balanced amount of appropriate images or graphs with text.ack of funds to assist them with the lead’s
abatement in their houses.
