From Grassroots to Policy

/in /by

 

The focus for week two will be on understanding the political system, identifying a vulnerable population at the grassroots (local) level, and analyzing how advanced nurse leaders can serve as advocates for vulnerable populations at the local, state or national level.

 

 

Select and describe the key characteristics of one vulnerable population from your practice or locale and discuss why this population is considered vulnerable.  Include one or two health practices and beliefs of the chosen population that increases the vulnerability of the population. Describe how you, in an advanced nursing role, could be an advocate for this vulnerable population at the local, state or national level. 

 

I practice as a hemodialysis nurse.
