(“The Wheel Manual”) Public health nurses work in or out of schools, homes, clinics, jails, shelters, mobile vans, and dog sleds. They work with communities, the individuals and families that compose communities, and the systems that affect the health of those communities. Regardless of where or with whom they work, all PHNs use a core set of interventions to accomplish their goals. Interventions are actions that public health nurses take on behalf of individuals/families, communities, and systems, to improve or protect health status. This framework, known as the Intervention Wheel , defines the scope of public health nursing practice by type of intervention and level of practice (individua l/family, community, or systems), rather than by the site of service such as home, school, occupational health, clinic, and others. The Intervention Wheel describes the scope of practice by what is similar across settings and describes the practice of publ ic health nursing at the individual/family, community, or systems level. The Intervention Wheel answers the question, “What do public health nurses do?” and delineates public health nursing as a specialty practice of nursing. These interventions are not ex clusive to public health nursing, as they are also used by other public health disciplines, except for delegated functions.
