Vulnerable Populations
Social groups that have increased susceptibility and are at risk for health problems are referred to as "vulnerable populations." This paper seeks to briefly define the meaning of the term "vulnerable population,' describe its characteristics, identify some of the barriers to health care service, and look at cultural attitudes relating to these populations. In addition, a cursory look at nursing theories, and models, concerning vulnerable populations will be presented.
Vulnerability means to have increased risks in the area of physical, psychological, or social health and can be established by evidence of inadequate access to health care, unhealthy living condition, relatively high mortality rates, and low life expectancy. Individuals can become vulnerable due to life changes or unexpected events such as a loss of employment, a major medical event, or natural disaster. Health care professionals that focus on vulnerable populations are concern with whole social groups that are at risk because…...

WIC program is a federal program designed for mothers and their children. "The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) provides Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk" (usda.gov). This federal program attempts to address the needs of the vulnerable population of single mothers or mothers from low-income households which have children and families which are nutritionally at risk: thus the program is able to provide these children (up to the age of five) with supplemental foods to help provide them with a more well0roudned diet. In certain respects, one of the reasons why this program is supported by the federal government is because it's a preventative program. By making sure that all infants have the…...

Vulnerable populations
The terms vulnerable populations refers to the groups of people who are not properly integrated into the health care system as a result of their cultural, geographic, ethnic, health characteristics, or economic status. This group of people is usually isolated in terms of its members being at risk of not obtaining access to essential medical care. Therefore, this population is a potential threat to the health of the community because of their lack of access to medical care. Some examples of these vulnerable populations are the minority groups either ethnically or racially. There is also the urban and rural poor population. There are the undocumented immigrants and those…...

Accommodating Vulnerable Populations in Healthcare
Within contemporary healthcare, access to healthcare services is negatively impacted by a variety of potential barriers. Typical examples of such barriers include cultural and ethnic isolation, advanced age, low income, lack of access to public transportation, and language barriers. In our healthcare agency, the two most prevalent barriers to healthcare access are advanced age, language barriers, and the particular vulnerabilities of aged populations.
Within our healthcare organization, there may be issues of the failure on the part of many staff members to empathize with the significance of these issues, largely because the staff are almost all young, well-educated individuals whose primary language is English. This project consists of several proposed methods of increasing the awareness and sensitivity among healthcare providers to the significance of these potential barriers to healthcare access. In principle, they are designed to help individuals who are not and have never been subject to…...

poor elderly are a vulnerable population in all communities. Specific factors that have contributed to this factor constitute ageism, namely the way that elderly are generally stereotypes as deserving of less social respect and undeserving of social support. In American society in particular, and in western society in general, youth is glorified and monetary success considered, whether erroneously or not, to equivocate happiness. The fact is that an elderly person who is wealthy might well receive the best of treatment. It is the combination of age and poverty with poverty dominating that spells rejection and, sometimes, premature death, deprivation, and suffering.
A great source of resources for the elderly in my community are social support networks such as The Ark that even though promoted as Jewish, is actually available for all individuals regardless of race. Not only does it regularly deliver food packages to needy elderly people. Its medical clinic,…...

Explain how a community nurse can decrease or prevent the occurrence of an infectious disease, chronic illness or safety concern the community is at high risk for. Using the community assessment, describe how you would educate your community on primary, secondary and tertiary care based using this illness or infectious disease.To begin primary prevention looks to prevent the occurrence of the infectious disease prior to it occurring. As it relates to an issue such as water safety preventative tactics must be employed. As a community nurse I would first look to leverage partnerships with governments and businesses. Here, a collective effort is required in order to provide quality water to residents. For one, governments typically own the infrastructure used to help prevent infections within vulnerable communities. This infrastructure includes public government jobs, mission critical utilities such as utilizes, highways, airports and so forth. Infection diseases are particularly pertinent during areas…...

Benchmark - Policy Brief: Climate Change and Vulnerable Populations1. Describe the public health issue. Include the following information:Affected population. A major and perhaps even existential threat to public health has been growing in severity over the past several decades, and the scientific community cautions that the tipping point on climate change may have already been reached. Although the precise causes of climate change remain controversial, the effects are already being felt around the world, citizens of economically disadvantaged developing nations are at a significantly elevated risk of experiencing multiple adverse health-related outcomes as a result. For instance, according to the American Public Health Association (APHA), From exposure to extreme weather and heat waves to worsening air pollution and the spread of insect-borne disease climate change is a health emergency (Climate change, 2023, para. 3).What level does it occur.

ESPONSE esponse: Discussion TopicAddisalem T.My colleague indicates that the older population faces a wide range of challenges that are often not well addressed. These are inclusive of, but they are not limited to marginalization from their families and battle with various chronic illnesses. For this reason, there is need to ensure that various stakeholders are involved in efforts to promote older persons quality of life. Key stakeholders on this front could be inclusive of the government, community healthcare providers/workers, family members, religious organizations, etc. (Sharma and Branscum, 2020). It is important to note that as my colleague indicates, in some cases, policies and other interventions deployed to promote the wellbeing of the older population tend to be poorly designed thus failing to address the unique needs of this population. The relevance of nursing cannot be overstated in efforts to secure the health and wellbeing of this particular vulnerable population.…...

Self-AssessmentSelf-assessment is an important tool for healthcare professionals, including those pursuing a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree, to evaluate their own knowledge, skills, and abilities in relation to their profession\\\'s competencies (Mantzourani et al., 2019).

This paper will provide a self-assessment regarding learning throughout this course.eflection on the Course AchievementIn terms of primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of prevention, I have asked myself if I have a good understanding of what each level of prevention entails and how to implement them in practice.

Vulnerable Populations: Low Income Adults
Low income adults in Wyandot County, Kansas City, Kansas, are vulnerable to the socio-economic factors that commonly have a negative health impact. These factors include low wages, unstable family life, risky sexual behavior, drug and alcohol abuse, high crime, low education, obesity, diabetes, and poor access to health care (Boyer et al., 2017; Guariguata, 2014; Osborn, Squires, Doty, Sarnak & Schneider, 2016). Low income adults, therefore, are at risk of not receiving the proper health education they need to maintain healthy lifestyle; they are at risk of lacking a cogent support system to maintain a healthy lifestyle; they are at risk of not having adequate access to health care, whereby they maintain obtain necessary health education and preventive care.

Children with AIDS
Population Demographics
The Centers for Disease Control estimate there were 217 children with HIV below the age of 13, in 2010 in the 46 states. The report indicates that seventy-five percent of these were infected prenatal. By the end of 2009, approximately 10,834 people diagnosed with HIV at the age of 13 and below, were living with confidential, long-term name-based HIV reporting. Of the prenatal infections, 63% were from the African/Black community, 22% were Latino/Hispanics, and 13% were whites. The CDC estimates that the number of new children infected will increase by 30%. This is because the number of women giving birth in the U.S., with HIV increase at a rate of 30% in 2006. New York has the highest number of children with AIDS in any area of the U.S., as half of the children diagnosed with HIV / AIDS in the country reside in the area. This…...

Social isk and Vulnerability Analysis Comment by Babyliza: There's No Abstract
Vulnerability to hazards is affected by several factors, comprising age or income, the power of social networks, and neighborhood individualities. Social vulnerability takes into account the socioeconomic and demographic factors that influence the resilience of populations. The Sovi for Bexar County is 0.230416 whereas that for Philadelphia County is 3.418284. This indicates that Philadelphia County as a geographical expanse has a higher vulnerability and susceptibility to environmental and public health hazards. A key group that ought to be taken into consideration is one of people lacking insurance. This is a group that is severely impacted in the course of disasters and after disasters, and are not able to easily recover. Individuals that are not self-insured are generally excluded from these calculations.

CHIP: Mental Health in the U.S. especially among African American MenAbstractThis Cultural elevant Health Intervention Project (CHIP) addresses the critical issue of mental health among African American men in the United States, a demographic significantly impacted by mental health disparities. The project focuses on the role of culture in shaping perceptions, attitudes, and responses to mental health challenges within this community. African American men often face unique cultural barriers, including stigma, mistrust of healthcare systems, social norms around masculinity, and historical trauma, which deter them from seeking mental health services. The proposed intervention is rooted in cultural understanding and aims to bridge this gap by integrating traditional cultural practices with contemporary mental health approaches. This involves using community-based resources such as faith leaders and peer networks to foster a supportive environment that encourages mental health discussions and reduces stigma. This approach is deemed appropriate due to its direct engagement with…...

Elderly in Monrovia, CA
The population of people aged 65 years or greater is steadily escalating, as baby boomers come of age. It is estimated that this age bracket accounts for 10% of the total world population, and is statistically increasing. As this sector of the population steadily increases, there are of course, accompanying health care issues: osteoarthritis, cardiac and kidney issues, Alzheimer's or dementia, and an ever-growing problem with depression. For this essay, we will concentrate on several health issues that plague seniors nationally, but will specifically focus on the aging population over 65 in Monrovia, California.
Monrovia is a smallish city located at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains in the San Gabriel Valley, Los Angeles County. Monrovia was settled in the late 1800s as a central hub for the growing orange grove industry, but has now become more of a bedroom community that supports the urban sprawl…...

Ageism is the practicing of discrimination against people based on their age. While the term does not specify the age of the people experiencing discrimination, ageism has most often been used to describe discrimination against older people, particularly seniors. There are multiple components to ageism, as age is used in a discriminatory manner for a variety of types of decision-making, from personal choices to policy choices.
