Assignment: Windshield Survey/Community Assessment Conduct a “Windshield Survey” in a section of your community. Instructions for the survey can be found in Stanhope and Lancaster (2020) on page 383
WINDSHIELD SURVEY INFORMATION A windshield survey is an informal survey where the health professional drives around the community/area they are researching, and records his/her observations. For Nurses to be able to knowledgeably plan services for a community, it is essential to know a specific community, identify health -related resources that may be helpful to members, and learn about gaps in services. A windshield survey is conducted from a car and provides a visual overview of a community. Conditio ns and trends in the community that could affect the health of the population are noted. This data provides background and context for working in the community or for conducting a community assessment. A prize will be awarded to the best group using a grad ing scale of 4 (Meets or exceeds the objective), 3 (Good meets the objectives), 2 (addresses some of the objectives), and 1 (does not meet the objectives) by your peers using the survey. Cities to survey: Utilize the attached document (Windshield Survey) a s a guide for the paragraphs for your formal paper. When completed, print and turn in the document to the instructor. The completed community assessment will be part of your in class discussion. If specific data is required to complete the survey you mus t reference the source and include a reference page using APA (6th edition) format. Typically, information/data/statistics can be found online using government sites. See the Web Links tab for resources.

The county’s name originated because several prominent inhabitants, including William Claiborne , recently had been forced from their settlement at Kent Island, Maryland , by Lord Baltimore upon the formation of Maryland .[4] Claiborne had named the island for his birthplace in Kent , England. New Kent County is the birthplace of two US presidents’ wives – Martha Washington and Letitia Christian Tyler . The church where George and Martha Washington are believed to have been wed, St. Peter’s , still holds services today. The Chickahominy Indians frequented this area, as well as nearby Charles City County , and two tribes are still well -established in this area. Among the earliest settlers of New Kent County was Nicholas Gentry, who settled in New Kent in 1684. The parish register books of St. Peter’s Parish show that Nicholas Gentry’s daughter was baptized in the church in 1687. The records also reflect other Gentrys, probably Nicholas Gentry’s relations, Peter and Samuel Gentry. [5] As the result of arson confessed to by John Price Posey and Tho Green, and allegedly involving “a negro boy belonging to W. Chamberlayne” on July 15, 1787, many l ater county records were burned, making identifying relationships between family members difficult. [6] Due to the “many Inconveniencys” suffered by the “Upper Inhab itants by reason of their Great distance from the Court house and other places usually appointed for publick meetings”, New Kent County was divided “into Two distinct Countys and that that part of the County lyeing below the parish of Saint Paul shall for Ever thereafter be called and knowne by the Name of New Kent County And that that part of the County which lyeth in the parish of Saint Paul Shall be called and knowne by the Name of Hannover County”. In 1720, a portion of New Kent County known then as St. Paul’s Parish was formed into a separate county, now Hanover County .[7][8] In 2006, the US Census Bureau rated New Kent County among the top 100 fastest -growing counties in the U.S. [9] Geography [edit ] The northeast border of the county is defined by the meanderings of the Pamunkey River , and the southwest county border is similarly defined by the Chickahominy River . The county terrain consists of rolling hills, either wooded or devoted to agriculture, and carved by drainages. [10] The terrain slopes to the east and south, with its highest point on the west border at 174′ (53m) ASL. [11] The county has a total area of 223 sq mi (579 km 2), of which 210 sq mi (543 km 2) are land and 14 square miles (36 km 2) (6.23%) are covered by water.
