NURSING 325 (MIGRANT AND RURAL INDIVIDUALS/VETERANS/) -
WEEK 7 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS STUDY GUIDE WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTION!!
Summary
Rural areas comprise almost 25% of the United States population, providing a
significant portion of our nation's crops for food supply. Migrant workers
contribute significantly to the access and affordability of crops in America. The
nurse must always consider the context and composition of rural populations
because each one is unique. The location and make up of people determine the
respective population needs. Almost half of the nation's poor live in rural areas.
Poverty combined with a remote location and decreased access to care results in
higher morbidity and mortality rates for the rural population (Nies and McEwen,
2015). Accidents and suicide are major health concerns within the rural population.
The rural health nurse must consider barriers to care and work to provide culturally
appropriate immediate care as well as planning upstream interventions for the
population as a whole.

decreased confidentiality ("knowing everyone's business").
A nursing student is discussing telemedicine. Which statement demonstrates the
need for further education?

Summary
Care of the veteran used to be incorporated into care of other vulnerable
populations, such as individuals with a disability or individuals with unstable
housing. However, the veteran population has many unique health care concerns
such as traumatic brain injury, posttraumatic stress disorder, military sexual
trauma, suicide, polytrauma, and hazardous exposure. These unique concerns
create health care challenges that are different for every veteran, as no two veterans
have endured the same service experience.
