Children living in houses that were built before 1978, and where paint is peeling, should be screened. And the Centers for Disease Control recommend "…all children Medicaid-elgible are categorized as a 'vulnerable population' because they are more likely to live in lead-contaminated housing" (Goodwin, 2009)
"…Helping the homeless has provided a new lens through which to view her role in the community" (San Diego-U-T). TWO: The nursing process when the community is the client means assessing "…the health of the community itself" by identifying "the characteristics, resources, and needs" and the "applicable environmental variables" (Hitchcock, 2003)
"The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, if fully-funded, will improve but not eliminate disparities. Health-care coverage and lack of access is only part of the problem of why race disparities exist and we have to look at societal issues" said Thomas LaVeist, director of the Hopkins Centre for Health Disparities Solutions (Devi, 2012)
The average cost of health care in the United States is estimated to be over eight thousand dollars per person and on the aggregate accounts for nearly eighteen percent of the total U.S. gross domestic product (Kane, 2012)
There are disparities evident in nearly every factor associated with healthcare such as cost, quality, access, and equity. As a result, a new wave of research has begun using geocoded data to try to identify the sources of these disparities among factors such as poverty, racial, and geographic information (Krieger, Chen, Rehkopf, & Subramanian, 2004)
health care system 37th in the world1 -- a result that has been discussed frequently during the current debate on U.S. health care reform (Murray, 2010)
Because of these factors, there is an increasing illness in the community that must be taken care of. Recently, the city conducted a survey and the local University of Texas extension center wrote a healthcare proposal for the region (Nolen, et al
In the pursuit to improve primary healthcare within this community, it is imperative to acknowledge the impacts of the curative and preventive aspects of the health system on the population health status. Appropriate use and access to services such as dental services, public health, pharmaceuticals and hospitals are integral elements in connection to health outcomes (Basford & Slevin, 2013)
The unit will embrace an approach of permitting people to have an upper hand to improve and control their health. As an alternative to the lifestyle-based prevention efforts, population promotion seeks to facilitate community and individual empowerment (Carroll, 2009)
These conditions have placed some members at a disadvantage in the maintenance of optimal health. By identifying environmental conditions and risk, behaviors of community members and population groups, this approach will work deter problems before they occur (Ervin, 2012)
This study proposes for industrial relations and human resource issues in this pathway. The rising demand for nursing services in the community coupled with an inevitable extension of service delivery will need a review of the working conditions and pay for nurses in the community (Gofin & Gofin, 2011)
Besides this confirmation, it presents the proposal for the creation of a community health service based on the population health system. It articulates the need for developing a national device to identify the community health profile (Hitchcock, Schubert & Thomas, 2013)
Such models include effective integrated population health and promotion models, enhanced collaboration with population groups and relevant service models. The interrelated and broad scope of intervention makes it challenging to evaluate primary healthcare within this community (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2011)
Two experienced nurses write, "During the last two decades, home health nursing practice has expanded beyond the traditional style of home care to include age-related groups (such as the elderly) and more acutely ill patients." (Korniewicz & El-Masri, 2004, p
There is also actual time spent training in health care facilities. Another nursing student notes, "We also work in clinics for our home health nursing and community nursing courses at a shelter for homeless people who are too sick to go out, but not sick enough to be in a hospital" (Sacks, 2003, p
Moral agents have obligations that they must take certain actions, because it is their duty to do so; therefore they must do so. Deontological theories are those suggesting that one's actions are right when they accord with what is ethically correct, according to certain ethical maxims, rights, rules, or duties (Cherry & Jacob, 2005; Chitty, 2005)
Legal considerations also consider the patient Bill of Rights, and moral and ethical duties of the caregivers in a hospital. A corporate body has a duty to the people it serves as much as the people themselves have a moral duty and ethical responsibility to each other (Chitty, 2005)
Deontology states that actions might be morally obligated, or assumed to be allowed, or that they may be prohibited and that the consequences of such actions therefore do not matter (Cherry & Jacob, 2005). The intent behind one's actions in deontology do not matter because a person acting using the philosophy of deontology is always correct provided that there actions are ethically moral and correct, as per their duty (Cowen & Moorhead, 2006)
