Case Study: Recall a time in which you have cared for a patient of a diverse population based on the populations outlined in the course content, that is: children, older person, men, women, minority groups, culturally and linguistically diverse persons, those with a physical or mental disability. You may choose to narrow this down further to a subgroup, for example: children aged between 11-16 yrs, older people living in residential care, pregnant women, men living in rural and remote Australia. You will then reflect upon your own practice using the NMBA standards and prepare a report addressing the following:
Questions:
o Include a brief outline of the case. Include why you have chosen that patient, and what was different in caring for a patient from this population.
o Briefly outline the care that you provided to them remembering to de-identify all information. • Identify why your chosen population is considered diverse and include:
o Social determinants of health and how they impactthis population.
o Health inequalities (the differences in health status between population groups) such as differences in wellbeing, risk of disease, abuse/violence, healthy life expectancy, morbidity, and mortality.
o Health inequities (differences in health status between population groups that are socially produced, systematic in their unequal distribution across the population, avoidable and unfair) such as difference in access, affordability, income etc
o Health outcomes - Discuss key health issues impacting this population i.e. certain disease, mental health issues, injuries etc
o Care Considerations- Using current evidence basedpractice, discuss the nursing care considerations that would be important in caring for an individual of this population
