Final answer:

A PHN at the graduate level should be able to teach public and community health nursing, assess and intervene at the aggregate level, and collaborate with healthcare providers for disease prevention and management.

Step-by-step explanation:

A PHN (Public Health Nurse) at the graduate level should be able to complete the following activities:

  1. Teach public and community health nursing: This involves educating individuals and communities about health promotion, prevention, and management of diseases. It also includes teaching about community resources and creating awareness of health issues.
  2. Assess and intervene successfully at the aggregate level: Aggregate level refers to a population or group of people. The practitioner should be able to assess the health needs and risks of a population and implement appropriate interventions to improve health outcomes.
  3. Diagnose and treat disease and have prescriptive authority: While Public Health Nurses are not typically involved in diagnosing and treating diseases, they may work collaboratively with healthcare providers to support disease prevention and management.
