NSG 4076 Week 4 Project

Strengths & Weaknesses in Depth

After successfully assessing each of my clients, I realized that the community lacks healthcare facilities that clients can afford. Each client had an income or just did not have the financial stability to be able to afford proper treatments. I highlighted the lack of finances as the primary weakness of the aggregate. Another weakness I observed was the home conditions of the aggregate. Previously, I discussed my outlook on the community, and it was in poor condition. I think it is highly ironic that most people who are associated with my chosen aggregate have similar diagnoses & prognoses of their illnesses. The primary strength of the community stems from those who constantly seek out better health care and promote the want for more accessibility to proper health care vicinities. Those who have similar illnesses tend to form groups and try to figure out what they can all do to better their conditions. I considered this a strength because it shows that members of the community will stick together when it comes to promoting better health care, which is beneficial to nurses and other professional health care advocates. In the textbook, it states: “Poor people who live in low-income communities are more often housed in 229 substandard housing (with attendant risks of chipping and peeling paint, pests, and unsafe neighbourhoods), live closer to pollution sources, are employed in more dangerous occupations, and have less access to healthy food options. In addition, vulnerability is variable through the human life cycle” (Stanhope,1950). This concludes my assumption that living conditions and low finances are the primary reasons of terrible health conditions and lack of health care knowledge. The quote from the text is a perfect example of my chosen aggregate because the home conditions and the environment around the community are in very poor shape.

Conclusion

To sum up, my risk assessment of the aggregate, A big strength that I have seen with this community that my facility is a part of is that it does not stop with providing CPR classes. It goes beyond that. When you come to our vicinity, you will leave with so much more insight. All of the people that I have selected have received additional information that was not asked for, but because of my assessing their conditions just by having a simple conversation with them, I found out more than I would have known just by assisting with the teaching of this class.
