We often consider how community health nurses can support vulnerable populations. For this self-reflection, complete the following:

Identify a vulnerable population in your community and internationally.
What resources are available to service these populations’ specific needs?
What gaps or areas could be better addressed?
What policies may affect these vulnerable populations?

Then, explore what unique assets or perspectives vulnerable populations can provide to nurses. Reflect on how you, as a professional nurse, hope to improve individual and social factors that contribute to vulnerability in populations.
