Reflect on the RN role in social justice by connecting the social determinants of health to both the patient and nurse experience. Identify one issue in your practice, examine why it is occurring, and propose recommendations for change that are supported by public policy and the literature. How does this have an impact on health? What strategies/supports are currently in place to address this (at the organizational, community or government level)? What else needs to be done or is being done? How can nurses (individually) or more collectively advocate for change? From the nursing perspective, how can nurses be better prepared or supported so that they can actually support patients? What are the barriers?
