NURS-6110 : Ethical Care for Social Justice

Explores major ethical systems as they impact health care with sensitivity to the vulnerability of all persons and populations. Social justice theory, social justice tradition, and determinants of health are frameworks used to examine the phenomenon of vulnerabilities associated with inequities and disparities. Responses to vulnerability are analyzed via known and postulated determinants, direct and indirect outreach to limit or reduce vulnerability, and structural and policy level endeavors to address variables that create and maintain multigenerational vulnerability with persons and populations, both in local and global communities.
