Investigate ethical-legal principles and dilemmas related to…
Wendy RN, has worked at Hope Hospital for over three years in the pediatric unit. She has accepted the day shift assignment consisting of five pediatric patients under the age of 10, three RSV patients and two sickle cell anemia patients. Two of the patients have mothers in attendance, the remainder have no family member or caretaker.
Wendy is working with Lisa RN, who has less than one year of experience working at Hope Hospital and has recently cross trained to the pediatric unit.
Wendy has a half hour to go on her shift and has just completed all duties addressing patient care when she receives a text message from her husband alerting her that her son was injured during a football game and is on his way to the community hospital in that town.
Wendy informs Lisa that she has to leave and why and that she can get all the information regarding her patients from each patient chart. Wendy informs Lisa to report to the oncoming shift which will be Susan RN and quickly grabs her coat and leaves.
Susan working the pm shift arrives on time and looks for Wendy for report. Lisa who sees Susan quickly comes down the hall to notify Susan that Wendy left in a hurry and that she is the only nurse on the floor for the last half hour. Susan asks Lisa for a report, and Lisa states she did not get a report by Wendy regarding each of her patients but that she was told by Wendy that all documentation on each patient was completed.
Susan RN has been a nurse for over five years in the pediatric unit. She quickly notifies the nurse manager of what occurred and proceeds to provide her nursing responsibilities and duties to each of the five patients. Susan notices upon entering the room of the 4-year-old RSV patient that the oxygen is no longer in use and that the child is exhibiting signs of respiratory distress. Susan also notices IV infiltrate in the patients right hand which is puffy and sore when palpated. Susan is notified of the demise of the child a day later.
A year later, Wendy is notified to meet with the risk management and legal departments concerning an incident related to a 4-year-old RVS patient she provided care to.

e. What is a hypothesis?
i. A hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of available data.
Clinical Judgment Process
Recognize Cues
Based on available client data, identify relevant or important cues or information. Subjective and objective could be considered. Specific client values are included where appropriate (i.e., heart rate, oxygen saturation, etc.).
Analyze Cues
Link identified cues to the clients presentation. Determine conditions that are consistent with those cues.
A condition is defined as a normal state with regard to ones health, such as pregnancy, or to a disease, disorder, illness, or injury (National Institutes of Health, n.d.).
Prioritize Hypotheses
Think Where do I start? Based on your analysis of the clients condition, determine which explanations are most likely. List and rank hypotheses according to most urgent problems and priority order.
Generate Solutions
Using the hypothesis, identify desirable outcomes for the client. Goals are listed in SMART format.
In SMART format, goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound. Visit the ELO for more information.
Example of a SMART goal:
The patient will report a pain level of 4 or less on a 010 scale within 30 minutes of pain medication administration.
Take Action
Using the identified SMART goals, identify and describe how nursing interventions will be performed, administered, communicated, or taught. Interventions will address the priority concerns and are designed to help meet the clients goals.
Intervention #1 should be crafted to help meet SMART goal #1.
Evaluate Outcomes
Compare observed outcomes against expected outcomes. Determine if your identified interventions were effective.
Evaluative statements must be written in past tense.
Format example:
The (goal was achieved) by (time specified) as evidenced by (supporting findings) after (nursing intervention was performed).
To reiterate: SMART goal #1, Intervention #1, and Evaluation #1 must all be related. This process should be repeated for all goals and their associated interventions and outcomes.

Proposed population-based intervention for low income in Har…
Introduction
Despite advancements in both medical technology and service delivery within the U.S.,
many communities continue to have difficulty accessing healthcare services. For individuals who
live below the poverty line, financial burdens, lack of transportation, and limited access to
primary care often lead to delayed treatments and the development of preventable health
conditions. These barriers can be seen on a community level, where there are numerous factors
relating to the social environment that impact the overall health outcomes of individuals. Nurses
involved with population health and community-based practice must understand how social
determinants impact access to care for those they serve. This paper will explore low-income
adults residing within the region of Harris County, Texas, with an emphasis placed upon
identifying limited access to healthcare as a significant social determinant affecting overall
health status. The goal of this paper is to assess the needs of the surrounding communities while
providing evidence-based recommendations for an intervention to increase access to healthcare
services.
Description of Location and Subpopulation
Harris County, Texas, contains an estimated population of approximately 5,009,302
individuals. Approximately 50.4% of individuals living in Harris County identify as female,
whereas approximately 49.6% of individuals living in Harris County identify as male. These
numbers suggest that Harris County has a balanced ratio of males to females. (U.S. Census
Bureau, 2024). The racial/ethnic breakdown of Harris County consists of approximately 43.0%
Hispanic/Latino, 19.2% Black/African American, 36.4% White/Caucasian, 7.4% Asian, and a
smaller percentage of individuals identified as the other racial categories. The above statistics
demonstrate that there is a large amount of racial/ethnic diversity within Harris County (U.S
Census Bureau, 2023).3
For the purpose of this assessment, low-income adults are defined as individuals 18-64
living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL) (U.S Census Bureau, 2020).
The socioeconomic condition in Harris County demonstrates that about 16% to 18% of
Harris County’s population falls below the federal poverty threshold; this is much higher
amongst people of the Hispanic and Black ethnicities and those making under $25,000 yearly
(U.S. Census Bureau, 2023). Therefore, such socioeconomic challenges also create barriers for
these individuals, and combined with their overall lack of access to preventative health services,
will create barriers for healthy living today and in the future. The median income for households
in the county is around $63,022. In regard to education in Harris County, many of those with
higher educational attainment tend to show socioeconomic vulnerabilities. For example, 23.7%
of adults have a high school diploma or lower, which relates directly to having lower health
literacy, decreased work opportunities, and long-term health outcomes (Texas Community
Health News, 2024).
Crime and safety are major worries; approximately one-third of people living there said
they are victims of either being targeted because of their ethnicity/race, sex/gender, or another
form of discrimination that affects them mentally (e.g., by being treated differently). Domestic
violence was reported by over half of those victims (Rice University report titled: “Crime and
Victimization in Harris County: An Assessment”, 2024). There are additional issues associated
with living in these areas (i.e., challenges to healthy living due to the local community
environment), food insecurity affects approximately thirty-nine percent of Harris County
households, more than double the national rate of 14% (Kinder Institute for Urban Research,
2025) and some demographic groups, especially racially/ethnically disadvantaged households,4
have a higher prevalence of these challenges (i.e., food insecurity). Many poor neighborhoods
today not only face food shortages because they do not have enough grocery stores to meet their
needs, but they are classified as food deserts, which means they have high use of convenience
stores or places selling fast food as their primary source of food. This contributes to increased
risk for obesity and poor nutrition (Kinderd Institute for Urban Research, 2025). Harris County
reports a violent crime rate of approximately 547 incidents per 100,000 residents, which is higher
than the national average and disproportionately affects low-income and racially marginalized
communities.
One of the health outcome indicators that illustrates health inequities in Harris County is
obesity. Approximately 47.7% of adults ages 45-64 in Harris County are considered obese, and
adults who earn less than $25,000 a year are almost twice as likely to be obese as adults who
earn a higher income. (Understanding Houston, 2023). These collective indicators demonstrate
that low-income adults (especially those earning less than $25,000) in Harris County are faced
with several social and structural barriers that adversely affect their access to healthcare, their
economic stability, and their overall health outcomes.
Disparities exist between low-income adults in Harris County in terms of the health and
nutrition indicators described above. Approximately 14% of adults aged 18-64 years have
diabetes; over 32% of adults aged 18-64 years have hypertension; nearly 48% of adults aged 45-
64 are considered obese. The prevalence of these health conditions is substantially higher among
adults with a gross income of $25,000. As a result, access to preventive and primary healthcare
services is restricted due to both distance and cost of accessing healthcare services
(Understanding Houston, 2023; County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, 2023).
Subpopulation Impact of Limited Access to Healthcare
Biggest Contributor to Morbidity and Mortality5
The leading cause of preventable morbidity in low-income adults in Harris County is
limited access to healthcare, where patients who do not have health insurance go to the
emergency room at almost double the frequency of those with health insurance, and also have
substantially less access to preventative and chronic disease management services. (Harris Health
System Community Health Needs Assessment, 2023). In Harris County, residents who are low-
income encounter many obstacles to getting the basic health care services they need, which are
causing higher levels of illness and death in this area. Some examples of these complicated
factors impacting those who suffer from chronic illnesses are their lack of insurance and the
unavailability of primary care physicians in Harris County. Diabetes is present in approximately
14% of the adults living in Harris County. In comparison, hypertension affects more than 32% of
adults, and the proportions of both of these chronic conditions are much higher among adults
living at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (County Health Rankings & Roadmaps,
2023). Therefore, individuals who have these chronic illnesses may not have sufficient medical
care to help prevent the occurrence of complications from these diseases that could have been
prevented. This data shows that having limited access to basic healthcare services within Harris
County can create too many emergency room visits that could have been prevented with proper
medical attention. In addition, it can make it harder for people with chronic illnesses to get the
care they need, which can lead to an early death and/or affect their overall quality of life in the
long run (Texas DSHS, 2023; CDC, 2023).
In Harris County, cardiovascular disease and diabetes are the two leading causes of
premature death for those 40 years and older who fall below the poverty line. According to local
mortality reports, heart disease is to blame for about 22% of all county deaths, while around the
same rate of deaths due to complications of diabetes occurs compared to Texas and national6
death rates (Texas DSHS, 2023; CDC, 2023). The combination of delayed diagnosis and a
disjointed healthcare system (poor access to treatment) increases the chance of developing more
advanced stages of an illness when diagnosed, thereby increasing the potential for being
hospitalized and dying prematurely. State and national mortality data indicate that preventable
and treatable conditions are much higher among the uninsured than those with insurance, and
continue to evidence a greater relative mortality burden among people below the poverty line
(CDC, 2023).
Controversial Community Health Concern
One currently very hotly debated area of community health in Harris County concerns the
inappropriate use of the emergency department for health-related problems that do not require an
emergency response. Multiple reports by both public health officials and the health care system
provide documentation that supports this concern. On average, during the year preceding the
COVID-19 pandemic, adults in Harris County who did not have health insurance utilized the
emergency department at nearly double the rate of those with health insurance (Harris Health
System Community Health Needs Assessment, 2023). The result of the overuse of emergency
departments is an overall increase in the number of patients seen within the emergency
department, resulting in longer wait times for treatment and strain on hospital resources to
accommodate the high number of patients, particularly due to the lack of availability of
affordable primary care services for individuals without health insurance. Because of these
issues, there are growing concerns regarding health equity and the long-term viability of the
health care systemin both local and statewide communitiesdue to the continued
inappropriate utilization of the emergency department.
Community Health Concerns7
Individuals in the community have expressed having difficulty obtaining timely care,
long waiting periods for appointments, and limited help in navigating the health care system,
such as making appointments and understanding benefits. Similar access issues have been
identified in low-income families in other areas where poverty and social justice issues prevent
people from receiving adequate health care (Tiruneh et al., 2023). Individuals experiencing
diabetes complications and hypertension are commonly hospitalised, and their hospitalisations
could often be prevented. The increased quality of life and financial burden to both the individual
and the health care system are decreased when people cannot access adequate care. In addition to
financial burdens, inadequate access to care contributes to decreased productivity and higher
levels of stress. An improvement in access will improve both the individual and the system.
Emergency Room Visits and Hospital Admissions
Members of this subpopulation utilize emergency care as a primary service for hospital
admissions or emergency room visits for conditions that can be treated with outpatient care (e.g.,
uncontrolled diabetes, hypertensive crises, asthma exacerbations, infections) as well as for
complications resulting from either delayed diagnosis or treatment (e.g., preventable
hospitalizations for chronic health problems), with these numbers being larger among low-
income individuals compared to those with higher incomes. Data collected at the state level
validate the claim that low-income individuals in Texas have limited access to outpatient care
and that lack of outpatient care (i.e., regular healthcare visits) contributes to increased usage of
emergency rooms and hospitalization. Costs associated with emergency room visits and
hospitalizations place additional burdens on both the patient and provider, and essentially lead to
overcrowding within hospitals.8
Impact on Quality of life
Those residents of Harris County who lack regular access to healthcare endure an inferior
quality of life as a result of their inability to manage conditions that (commonly) lead to chronic
illness, as well as the burden of financial strain and/or being unable to take preventive measures.
In the county, almost forty percent of low-income families report food insecurity, which has been
shown to have strong negative associations with worse health outcomes, more overall stress, and
a lower functional status (The Kinder Institute for Urban Research, 2025). Chronic illness
management barriers, coupled with the added financial anxiety associated with accessing
medical care, result in decreased capacity of these individuals to hold jobs and perform
engagements with health-promoting activities, thus continuing the cycle of poor health and social
and economic disadvantage within a community.
Social Determinant of Health: Limited Access to Healthcare
The lack of access to healthcare is a key social determinant of poor health for adults
living on low incomes in Harris County, as high costs, limited insurance coverage, and not
having enough primary care providers lead to delays in accessing health services. Because of the
lack of regular primary care, people will often put off seeking care, resulting in an increase in the
severity of their health problem(s). This has been shown by numerous research studies that
looked at the relationship between social needs and health care service utilisation. Due to the
lack of access to primary care, many people end up in an emergency room for conditions that are
preventable if they were able to have regular access to a primary care doctor and/or other types
of providers. Furthermore, untreated chronic conditions can result in increased rates of morbidity
and mortality within this population. Therefore, addressing barriers to access to health care is
essential for improving the overall health of populations in Harris County.9
The community health issues related to inadequate access to care have been found
through the repeated use of emergency departments, the prevalence of uncontrolled chronic
conditions, and the financial burdens of high costs associated with health care.
Available Community Resources
Several community resources are available to assist lower-income adults in Harris
County, Texas. Federally Qualified Health Centres serve individuals without insurance or who
are under-insured by providing Primary Care Services on a sliding fee scale. Federally Qualified
Health Centres provide preventive care, chronic disease management, and referral to specialty
services, resulting in a decrease in avoidable emergency department visits (Fiori et al., 2023).
Other than Federally Qualified Health Centres, the Harris Health System also provides
healthcare to low-income county residents through the Financial Assistance and Gold Card
programs, which enable low-income county residents to have access to Primary Care, Speciality
Care, and Hospital Services through the Harris Health System, even if they do not meet the
traditional eligibility criteria for health insurance coverage. Medicaid also assists low-income
adults by covering essential healthcare services to those who meet the eligibility criteria.
Collectively, these community and systemic resources provide assistance to provide healthcare to
lower-income adults; however, there are still gaps in access to healthcare.
Needed Resources
The people of Harris County need more assistance to increase their healthcare options.
These services include increased Care Coordination opportunities to help the people who use
them find out about their insurance policies and make appointments and referrals to other
providers (State of the Health System Report 2014). The evidence from community health
worker programs indicates that People who are supported through navigation services can access10
medical care and coordinate with their healthcare providers (Fiori et al., 2024). Providers of
medical services in Harris County must offer more flexible hours of service as well as develop
mobile service opportunities to allow greater access to those individuals with non-traditional
work hours. The lack of sufficient transportation assistance for residents continues to restrict the
ability of those individuals to access their medical care. All of the items mentioned above are
necessary to ensure that residents of Harris County have the ability to access medical services to
reduce the number of avoidable conditions resulting from a lack of access.
Proposed Evidence-Based Intervention
To remedy the lack of access to Healthcare faced by low-income adults, the development
of a Nurse-led Community Health Worker Care Navigation program is being initiated. The
married inclusion of Community Health Workers as part of an overall problem-solving model is
the most comprehensive method to effectively assess Social Needs, while also providing ongoing
assistance with Social Needs and care navigation processes to their members. The data support
the assertion that Community Health Workers positively influence success through increased
access to community resources and decreased barriers to care, with more significant benefits to
underrepresented populations (Fioris et al., 2024). The Nurse will maintain oversight of the
screening process, while also coordinating referrals to both medical and Social Services.
Community Health Workers will assist the members in relation to appointment scheduling,
insurance registration/ enrollment, and linking members to community resources associated with
their needs. The Coordinated Community Care Model provides both clinical support and support
to meet the social requirements for members of these communities. By implementing this model,
we will begin to address the long-standing access issues that many individuals experience when
seeking Healthcare.11
Evidence supports this proposed method for applying Social Needs Screening processes
+ Navigation Services together. This is demonstrated by Systematic reviews showing that post-
program follow-up and coordination ultimately reduce utilisation of Emergency Room services
while increasing patient engagement through their respective Primary Care provider (Yan et al.,
2022). By placing services in proximity to Community members and supplying personalised
assistance, this methodology addresses many of the barriers, including Transportation and The
Complexity of navigating the Health Care System. For instance, monthly visits to communities
identified as having the greatest need, by Mobile Units supporting Registered Nurses (RN’s) and
Community Health Workers (CHWs), would allow for screening for Social Needs and
establishing Referrals for community services. These continual interactions would foster
consistency in the delivery of Care, leading to long-term Health Management. Evidence also
exists to demonstrate the Sustainability of such interventions, by Successful Integration into the
Current Health Systems (Fiori et al., 2024). The proposed method aligns Nursing professionals’
roles within Population Health and Care Coordination.
Conclusion
Harris County’s low-income adults are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to
accessing healthcare. They encounter barriers to being able to receive care, thus preventing them
from having a higher quality of life due to their illnesses that could have been prevented. The
limited access to care for low-income adults is due to financial, structural, and environmental
barriers; thus, these barriers represent a significant social determinant of health. The current
resources that exist do provide some assistance, but they do not adequately meet the needs of all
low-income individuals in Harris County. A nurse-led community health worker navigation
program would be an evidence-based solution and practical strategy to improve access for low-12
income residents of Harris County and improve coordination of care for this underserved
population. The nurse-led community health worker navigation program would provide a holistic
approach to both social and clinical needs, thereby reducing health disparities and improving
overall population health. Community-based strategies, such as this one, require the involvement
of nurses to lead and implement such programs
