research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. Being able to articulate the information and successfully summarize relevant peer-reviewed articles in a scholarly fashion helps to support the student’s ability and confidence to further develop and synthesize the progressively more complex assignments that constitute the components of the course change proposal capstone project.

For this assignment, the student will provide a synopsis of eight peer-reviewed articles from nursing journals using an evaluation table that determines the level and strength of evidence for each of the eight articles. The articles should be current within the last 5 years and closely relate to the PICOT statement developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project. Use the “Literature Evaluation Table” resource to complete this assignment.

solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, you are required to retrieve and assess a minimum of 8 peer-reviewed articles. an abstract is not required, CITE WEBSITE SOURCE.

Vulnerable populations are different from people at risk.  According to Stanhope & Lancaster (2014), “A population at risk refers to a population with a common identified risk factor or risk of exposure that poses a threat to their health”. (p.189). For instance, hypertensive and overweight people are a t risk for cardiovascular diseases. The people within this group have the potential to develop adverse health conditions as a result of a risk factor that they are exposed to.  Some people are more likely to develop a health condition due to exposure to risk as compared to others and this makes them more vulnerable.  A vulnerable population refers to a group of people who are more likely to develop health conditions due to exposure to risk as compared to others (Taylor, et.al. 2011). Some of the factors that increase vulnerability include poverty and low socio-economic statuses. The vulnerable populations general have higher mortality and morbidity as compared to others.

Lack of access to resources highly contributes to vulnerability. For instance they have many limitations including chronic stress, unsafe housing exposure to crime and violence, language barriers and lack of access to healthcare.  It is therefore common for these people to become immobilized and lack the drive and ability to advocate for themselves (Kelly, 2012). Disenfranchised vulnerable people such as immigrants and the homeless lack support systems and they therefore need advocacy assistance. I would advocate for the elderly in the society because they are vulnerable to emotion physical and socio-economic strains. Old people generally require special attention for purposes of maintenance and promotion of health.  Some of the ethical issues that should be addressed with respect to advocating for the elderly people including keeping their health statuses confidential to avoid exposing them to ridicule and pity from the public.

Providing cultural competence is when a health care provider can adapt and/or incorporate to cultural or linguistic needs during any healthcare encounter. Examples of a culturally appropriate care is having ancillary staff such as interpreters, chaplains, social workers that are available and knowledgeable about various cultures and values during an admission intake, educating on Diabetes, or providing spiritual care. In the community health setting, it would be important for the nurse to establish effective communication regarding treatment and care.  Cultural preservation in nursing is identifying and supporting a action/behavior that benefits the patient. For example, Chinese cultures view certain foods as hot and cold, hot foods are high energy and cold are low energy, incorporating this into a patient’s stay as his/her diet allowed would be an example of this. Cultural accommodation is accepting practices during health care that do not negatively impact care. Having patient’s families bring in a rosary to lay at the bedside. Cultural re-pattering requires the nurse to adjust health behaviors that are detrimental to care, such as educating a patient newly diagnosed with DM on how to incorporate cultural foods at a smaller more balanced approach in order to manage blood glucose and prevent complications.

• How can the transparency of price, quality, and safety change the way a consumer selects health care choices?
