A nurse volunteering at the free clinic in her community informs a client seeking treatment for
hypertension that the family's children may qualify for enrollment in the State Children's Health
Insurance Program (SCHIP). The nurse's intervention can reduce health disparities for these vulnerable
children by making a referral to a program that provides:
1. direct financial subsidies for children.
2. funds to insure currently uninsured children.
3. outreach efforts to enroll eligible children in Medicaid.
4. prospective payments for child services. - ANSWER☑️⭐-2. funds to insure currently uninsured
children.
Title XXI of the Social Security Act provides for the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to
provide funds to insure currently uninsured children. The SCHIP program is jointly funded by the Federal
and State governments and administered by the states. Using broad Federal guidelines, each state
designs its own program, determines who is eligible for benefits, sets the payment levels, and decides
upon the administrative and operating procedures. The program is subject to change when states
,undergo budget reductions.
A city uses the local media (radio, television, and newspapers) to post ratings of air quality on days when
the air quality is poor. This notification is directed toward older adults, very young members of the
community, and those with chronic breathing problems. These groups are an example of:
1. disenfranchised populations.
2. disadvantaged populations.
3. vulnerability.
4. vulnerable populations. - ANSWER☑️⭐-4. vulnerable populations.
Vulnerable populations are those groups who have an increased risk to develop adverse outcomes. A
vulnerable population group is a subgroup of the population, more likely to develop health problems as
a result of exposure to risk or to have worse outcomes from a health problem than is the rest of the
population. The risks are often cumulative risks from environmental hazards, personal behavior, or
biological or genetic makeup.
A nurse in community health directly contacts a mammography clinic to arrange an appointment for a
female migrant worker with limited English language abilities. The nurse communicates with the client
through an interpreter to ensure that the client's appointment is scheduled to meet her needs and that
the client understands the procedure to be performed. This strategy used with vulnerable populations
can best be described as:
1. advocacy.
2. culturally competent care.
3. partnership.
4. social justice. - ANSWER☑️⭐-1. advocacy.
Advocacy refers to those actions one undertakes on behalf of another. Nurses may function as
advocates for vulnerable populations by working for the passage and implementation of policies that
lead to improved public health services for these populations.
Which of the following are factors that may contribute to vulnerability?
Select all that apply.
1. Exercise habits
2. Crime
, 3. Peeling lead paint
4. Social isolation
5. Illiteracy - ANSWER☑️⭐-CORRECT
1. Exercise habits
Vulnerability results from the combined effects of limited resources. Limitations in physical resources,
environmental resources, personal resources (or human capital), and biopsychosocial resources (e.g.,
the presence of illness, genetic predispositions) combine to cause vulnerability. Poverty, limited social
support, and working in a hazardous environment are examples of limitations in physical and
environmental resources. People with preexisting illnesses, such as those with communicable or
infectious diseases or those with chronic illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, or chronic airway
disease, have less physical ability to cope with stress than those without such physical problems
