Order Instructions

Reflect on the following in a minimum of 500 words.

Part 1: Definitions of Health 

Part of health promotion is meeting a patient at their definition of health. One person’s health goals and possibilities may differ from another’s.

Search the Internet for representations of various definitions of health (e.g., a newborn, a well older adult, a person in a wheelchair, or a person with another disability).

Summarize your thoughts regarding the importance of meeting a patient at their definition of health.

Part 2: Needs of Vulnerable Populations

Defining the needs of a vulnerable population is key to providing the best care.

Research three rural populations in your state.

What was most surprising to you about the demographics and determinants of health in your selected location? Why was it surprising?

What additional indicators, besides poverty level and education, might you suggest be added to further identify vulnerable populations?

Respond by explaining the data found about the communities.
