NUR4043 Module 7 Discussion

Developing Health Policy to Promote Social Justice

Developing health policy that takes social justice into consideration promotes health policy that is fair and equal for all patients in a community and can be applied on a local, national, or international level. After reading this module’s assigned chapter pages, answer these questions as an original response:

• What is social justice, and how do you feel it can be beneficial for vulnerable populations on all levels of health policy: locally, nationally, and internationally?
• What aspect of your current or previous nursing practice do you feel is lacking social justice toward vulnerable populations and why?
