You could write about a certain episode that happened in the past or you could write about a continuing struggle. Assess that prejudice through the lens of theories. No one is born prejudices but we learn it as we grow up. In your case, how did you learn about the prejudice, how do you believe you internalized it to the point where you started disliking the specific people/group? Use theories to analyze this learned behavior so that we know how behaviors are learned and imbibed in our lives.

You must include the following sections in your paper:

  • Introduction – name the prejudice/bias, definitions, issues or groups you are referring to, any particular experience that led to it,
  • sources of bias
  • Your thoughts, feelings, preconceived notions

  • Theories like system perspective, conflict perspective, social constructive perspective, exchange and choice perspective (these are the theory of human behavior)

Research, screenings, treatment measures and educating the patient, families and the community the nurse serves accounts for the nurses’ responsibilities. Research may consist of figuring out why certain diseases are affecting the communities and to what extent and how to treat. Research also includes networking and finding the funding needed to support research and help pay for the cost to provide screenings, treatments as well as resources such as flyers, brochures, and videos to help educate.

Second peer: Community health nurses focus on long- and short-term care for disease prevention, community health nurses focus on presenting materials in a clear and understandable format. Public health nurses advocate on the local, state, and federal level to provide better access to health care, protect funding for public health programs, and reduce or eliminate health disparities. Community nurses cross-cultural, language, and literacy boundaries to shape the health and well-being of children and adults.  As a community health nurse is an excellent way to combine a love of nursing and a love of your community.  Community nurses often work in community health centers offering treatment and advice to members of the community. Community health nurses can also help provide the necessary care in communities that lack easily accessible healthcare.   Barriers or challenges the nurse would need to overcome to achieve these goals is Higher poverty rates, which can make it difficult for participants to pay for services or program. Cultural and social norms surrounding health behaviors, Low health literacy levels and incomplete perceptions of health, Limited affordable, reliable, and public transportation options.
