When doing a windshield survey as part of community assessment,the nurse should observe two times: one during the day when people are at work and children are at school and a second time in the evening after work is done and school is out.It is likely that different things are occurring in the community when the nurse drives through the community at different times.Therefore,it is likely that the nurse will learn more about the community by doing this and not necessarily confirm previous findings.If the nurse was interested in writing down the results of the findings,the nurse could use public transportation or ride in a car with another nurse driving for more efficient documentation of her findings,this would not necessarily occur by the nurse driving through the community in the evening.
