Abstract
Just a Diaper Rash is focused on population health and social determinants of health concepts as they regularly present in the primary care setting, at home, and in the community. This case study is designed to assist learners in identifying social determinants of health that affect the health of their individuals and communities, involving community-based and other social services in the care of individuals, and understanding how the decisions and engagement of nurses can influence the health of individuals and populations. There truly is no health or social condition that the involvement of a nurse cannot improve, especially when nurses collaborate with other professionals and prioritize the wishes of community members and key audiences. Nurses who understand the context of their patient’s and practice population’s lives are well suited to lead and collaborate, create and innovate, implement, and evaluate population health initiatives in their practice population and community as well as the policy arena both locally and nationally.
