Practice Question
A community health nurse drives through her assigned community in the morning before visiting local groups and then drives through again in the evening before going home. Which of the following best explains the reason for conducting two windshield surveys in the same day?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Conducting a survey at different times provides a more complete picture of community life.
Rationale:
💠Windshield surveys performed at different times of day reveal variations in traffic patterns, public space use, and population movement that a single pass can miss.
💠Morning versus evening observations uncover work–commute flows, school activities, and business operation hours, enriching the community profile.
💠Temporal variation highlights safety concerns (lighting, loitering, noise) and access issues (public transit frequency, clinic hours) that change across the day.
💠Repeated time-staggered surveying enhances data validity, reducing the risk that conclusions reflect a time-specific anomaly.
💠This approach strengthens planning for services and outreach by aligning interventions with when residents actually use resources.
