Aim
This assessment aims to explore the public health service of immunisation to improve community health outcomes and the role of health professionals in delivering this service.

Task Description
Read the case study below and respond using the prompts provided.

Case Study:
 Norman Impu, a 58-year-old, man from the remote community of Amoonguna, presents to the local community health centre where you are working as a primary health care nurse. Norman’s wife died five months ago from kidney disease after five years on renal dialysis. Norman worked as a stockman from the age of 15 until he stopped to care for his wife while she had renal dialysis. Now Norman is on Centrelink JobSeeker payment. Norman lives in a two-bedroom public housing unit with his eldest daughter, her husband and their four children: eight, six, four and one-year-old. Norman does not have a car or a driver's licence. He relies on his daughter for transportation. He is worried about getting sick over winter. As the primary healthcare nurse, you ask Norman if his immunisations are up to date. Norman advises that he does not know.

Please answer the following four questions relating to the case study.
 

1.   Discuss the role of the primary health care nurse in Australia. (250 words)

2.   From the scenario information, discuss two health inequities that Norman could be experiencing. (250 words)
