The nurse's role is to understand the roles of each respective agency and organization,know the public health laws,and work with the community to coordinate services to address the community's needs.Other needed interventions include organizing a blood-lead screening program through the local health department,educating local health providers to encourage them to systematically test children for lead poisoning,and working with local landlords to improve the condition of their housing stock.Administering medications to those with signs of lead poisioning is not a typical role of the nurse when dealing with lead posioning.Assessing community members for any health problems is to broad of an intervention and does not address the specific need of the nurse working with lead poisoning in the community.
