Community health nursing (CHN) is the branch of professional nursing that extends the scope of practice beyond the hospital walls into homes, schools, workplaces, and the broader community. Basavanthappa defines it as “the art and science of providing health‑promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative care to individuals, families and groups in the community, using a holistic and culturally sensitive approach.”
