In community and public health nursing, the target of care is the community, thus the community is the client receiving

organizations, work sites, schools, or other populations.

rationale for choosing this population. - My capstone site is an Assisted Living Facility and I will interviewing 2 employees, using stress interventions to avoid burnout.
