As a public health nurse, you have been asked to put together an
executive summary of the impact of the Federal Women, Infant, and
Children (WIC) program on the health of pregnant women, infants, and
children in your state.
This executive summary will be used by the agency director to provide
the staff with a broad overview of the impact federal legislation can have
on state decisions, as well as how policy can affect the populations you
serve.
Instructions

● Summarizes the purpose of the Women, Infant and Children (WIC)
program.
● Evaluates the impact of the WIC program across local, state, and
national levels focusing on four key areas:

○ Infant feeding practices
○ Immunization rates of children
● Provides stated ideas with professional language and attribution for
credible sources with correct APA citation, spelling, and grammar
in the executive summary.
