d. Working in law enforcement to regulate health and ensure safety C j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7

The PHN monitors health status in several ways, completing a community assessment is only
j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7


one way that health status is monitored. The PHN would not diagnose or solve ―world‖ problems
j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7 j7


, or work in law enforcement. Rather, the PHN would participate with local regulators to prote

ct communities and empower people to address health issues.
