Underserved Populations As a nurse, you practice at a local homeless shelter, also venturing out into the neighborhood during appropriate times during the year to deliver immunizations/medications for the prevention of or to decrease incidence of communicable disease. You’ve been notified of an upcoming cut in funding to serve your clients in the neighborhood and are asked to develop a plan to maintain your client numbers while decreasing the cost of the delivery of care.
Who are your vulnerable clients? How might the Health Resources and Services Administration impact your neighborhood’s need? What are creative ways in which care costs could be addressed?
