The existence of these variables that expose vulnerable populations to health risks has raised the demand for public health nurses to advocate for policies and programs that remove inequities between this population and more resilient groups. A further way that public health nurses can contribute to improving health outcomes in vulnerable groups is through the provision of culturally competent care services that include tools and resources for encouraging healthy behaviors and participating in health promotion activities (Peek, 2017). A good example would be giving language assistance to immigrants and migrant workers when they are on a visit to the therapeutic environment. The bottom line is that nursing practitioners can use advocacy and culturally competent service delivery as strategies for improving the health status of disadvantaged groups in their care.
