Discussion Post: Nursing Understanding Vulnerability in Diverse Children

Discuss the unique cultural considerations of children of diverse backgrounds. We will investigate cultural concerns in healthcare to discover and mitigate a person's vulnerability to maltreatment, inequality of access, and injury.

Seen through this lens, children cared for by nurses from a different culture or background than their own are at considerable risk.

In this module, children will be defined as dependents of at least one adult, age newborn to age 18, the legal age of emancipation in most states in the United States. Philosophers and moral theorists define vulnerability as susceptibility to harm. It is relational; that is, a person is vulnerable concerning particular sorts of threats to one's interests.

Some persons or groups are especially vulnerable due to a lack of or diminished capacity to protect themselves under inequalities of power, dependency, capacity, or need (Mackenzie, Rogers, & Dodds, 2014).

You will use this framework as the foundation for discussing the cultural considerations when nurses are caring for children of diverse backgrounds in this module.

Almost half the children living in the U. S. live in poverty (Kersey-Matusiak, 2019). Social determinants of childhood health often lead to adverse health outcomes in children and across the life span.Conduct a literature search to locate a journal article related to children living in poverty, maltreated children, LGBTQ children, or immigrant children. What are health risks disproportionately higher for the child population you selected? What supports could you offer the family through local or national organizations to address your selected population's health risks? What factors influence your motivation to provide culturally sensitive care to your chosen population?
