BSN432 Community Health Nursing Module 6 Discussion: Compare vulnerable and underserved populations
Discuss the similarities and differences between vulnerable and underserved populations. Identify one vulnerable or one underserved population and address at least two health problems specific to these groups. Describe two factors that contribute to the vulnerability of these population groups. Identify three (3) key informants in Sentinel City. Examples of key informants include, but are not limited to: political leaders, health care providers, service providers such as mail carrier or shop owners; and long term residents of the community, members of fire or police department. People who live or work in the community are a rich source of information regarding the community and can often provide data not found in printed form.Discussion: Compare vulnerable and underserved populations
Your practice learning site mentor will serve as your fourth key informant. Provide a rationale for why you selected these people as key informants and include 2-3 questions you would ask all of your key informants. Include your mentors’ response to your questions. To protect your mentors’ privacy, use only their initials or professional title (i.e. school nurse).
Go to the Scorecard-Pollution Information website and get the pollution report for your practice learning site by entering the zip code where your practice learning site is located. Based on the report, include your recommendations to the city council regarding environment health concerns and recommended resources that should be made available to address the needs of the vulnerable and underserved populations in Sentinel City. Discuss other ways the nurse can advocate for vulnerable and underserved populations.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
