This includes to improve the quality of life within the community by forming partnerships with the residents to assess and develop health improvement plans (Kuo et al., 2021). Some vulnerable populations include “homelessness, drug abuse, mental disorders, youth problems, and prostitution” (Shin et al., 2020). As stated in a scholarly article that I found, community health nurses impact the health a wellness of these vulnerable populations by applying a set of core competencies that include “public health sciences; assessment and analysis; policy and program planning; implementation and evaluation; partnerships, collaboration, and advocacy; diversity and inclusiveness; and communication and leadership” (Kuo et al., 2021).<\/p>\n An example of this is during Covid-19. Community health helped out in the primary health care services during the spread of Covid-19 by educating and advocating for their patients during the pandemic (Yodsuban et al., 2023). The vulnerable population in this study are the older adults in Thailand. This study showed that community health nurses provided education in the spread of Covid-19 as well as provide support for mental health and nutritional guidance for the older adults (Yodsuban et al., 2023). <\/span><\/p>\n In conclusion, the community health nurse provided education to the older adults that included proper hand hygiene, wearing face masks, and social distancing to control the spread of Covid-19. The nurses also made sure that the elderly clients had access to the resources to help them through this time. With the work the community health nurses did in the early stages of Covid-19, they helped to slow the spread with that specific vulnerable population (Yodsuban et al. 2023). <\/p>\n References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
