Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nurses should understand the concept of poverty on many levels, including the social determinants of health that contribute to poverty, such as lack of access to education, employment opportunities, and healthcare. Moving to the area where people are living or becoming fully immersed in poverty for a year may not always be feasible or necessary, while taking a trip abroad may not necessarily address the specific context of poverty encountered in their own community.
