Your post clarifies various ways through which geopolitical and phenomenological factors affect community health. From my understanding, you illustrated that the role of nurses is to determine the scope of geopolitics to implement better policies that address the issues in a specific region. Nursing processes should be effective only if the stakeholders have evidence after assessing a specific population. As indicated in your post, analysis, and identification of issues within a community to come up with a solution or needed resources to solve the problem requires substantive research of that specific population. From the phenomenological point of view, the provided example suits the case whereby to solve issues relating to suicide among teenagers, the school curriculum should introduce mental care classes to help shape up the mental health of teenagers.

The discussion on how geopolitical and phenomenological factors influencing the context of a population intervention and assessment are critically analyzed in your post. Geopolitics has an influence on a wide variety of aspects within healthcare. As mentioned these factors include availability and distribution of resources, climatic conditions that require health considerations, and environmental issues such as the size of the population. Besides, there is a disparity in culture and it is the responsibility of nurses to understand peoples’ religious teachings and moral values when assessing communities. To implement interventions, nurses do an evaluation to reach their goals of understanding specific issues within a specific population. This information also influences the distribution of resources within healthcare.
