Healthcare Delivery and Access

Healthcare Delivery and Access

The United States Census Bureau (2011) reported that approximately 48.6 million people in the United States lacked health insurance in 2011. In the role of nurse as teacher, how can nurses influence legislators in order to improve the healthcare system and promote access for all Americans?

Hi Class,
Our lesson this week (CCN, 2014) tells us that cultural beliefs influence self-care activities. I think we might all agree that wellness promotion and disease prevention are key to effective, affordable healthcare for all. As you think about how you might use your teaching skills to influence legislators and community members, think about what nurses might suggest to increase and enhance culturally appropriate health promotion activities — especially for those who are most vulnerable and with the greatest health disparities.

Please this is nursing class discussion, one page is enough.
