Then present a report discussing the key areas to follow. You will also propose a
nursing plan that seeks to address one of the health outcomes you have
discovered for this group.

Within your assignment you need to use the headings provided and discuss:

e WHY your chosen population is considered diverse and include:

o Social determinants of health and how they impact this population;

o Health inequalities (the differences in health status between
population groups) such as differences in wellbeing, risk of
disease, abuse/violence, healthy life expectancy, morbidity and
mortality;

o Health inequities (differences in health status between population
groups that are socially produced, systematic in their unequal
distribution across the population, avoidable and unfair) such as
difference in access, affordability, income etc;

o Health outcomes – Discuss key health issues impacting this
population i.e. certain disease, mental health issues, injuries etc

¢ Discuss the nursing care considerations that would be important in caring for an
individual of this population. Your discussion should highlight and link to three
Registered Nurse Standards such as:
o Standard 2: Engaging in a therapeutic and professional relationship
” How to communicate effectively, and how to be
respectful of your chosen population’s dignity, culture,
values, beliefs and rights.
” How to provide support and direct your chosen population to
resources to optimise their health-related decisions
