Dr. Green and class,

1. As an advanced practice nurse, what are three actions you can take to mitigate social impacts

to marginalized women?

Three actions that an advanced practice nurse can take to mitigate social impacts

to marginalized women are creating a trusted relationship with the patients, referring the

patients to local support services and keeping an ongoing communication with the

patients and the facilities, and facilitating access to these services by acting as a reliable

resource person throughout the process. Patients that have a trusting relationship with the

advanced practice nurses will take into consideration advice regarding their health but

also regarding any other aspect of their life such as housing. The advanced practice nurse

can help connect the patients with different support resources that are located inside and

outside of the healthcare system such as local women’s groups, housing advocacy, or

employment agencies. Providers can also advocate for individual patients by facilitating

proper documentation to the organizations, writing letters on behalf of the patient, and

helping the patients to access the programs or benefits that they qualify.

2. What role does policy at either government, state, or local level play in the marginalization of

women and childbearing families?

Policies play an important role in the marginalization of women and childbearing

families because they can strengthen different areas in the health care system to benefits

this population. Policies that facilitate health care access for women who need maternity

care, family planning, and other reproductive health care services are essential to the

different services that women need. Also, policies can help implement more funds

towards the implementation of programs to train and recruit health care personnel to

serve the communities in need. Policymakers should support grant funding in health

literacy, education, and training for community-based organizations to sustain and expand

important programs for education and training of healthcare personnel (Miller, 2017).

Policymakers and public agencies should work together to increase the opportunities to

make meaningful changes to the current health care system and traditional practices that

improve health provider literacy in the marginalized population of women and

childbearing families.

3. Identify one policy that impacts marginalized groups (include whether the policy is at the

federal, state, or local level).
