    This highly specialized emergency medicine unit is intriguing to me mainly due to the infinite diversity it brings forth for the health care team in terms of clients’ clinical presentation, diagnoses, and interventions. Not only do clients vary based on contextual factors, but they also range in age, from newborn infants to older adults. All of this ambiguity adds to the complexity of emergency department nursing simply because the body of knowledge, communication skills, and clinical skills required of RNs is very broad and extensive in nature. Emergency medicine practice for an RN includes the accurate triage, comprehensive initial assessments, collaborating and coordinating care with the health care team to diagnose and treat clients, and reassessments based on vital signs and response to interventions, all in an exceptionally fast paced outpatient environment (ACEP, 2015).

Population health attempts to address some of these current flaws by developing a culture that stresses the importance of a cohesive and organized health care framework (Fabius, R., Pracilio, V., Nash., & Clarke, J., 2016) . Population health is quite complicated and has no easy, all-inclusive definition (Noble,…

In a healthcare context, this statement solidifies equality and equity between Maori and the people of England, yet this hasn’t appeared to be the case. According to The Ministry of Health (MOH), Maori notably have higher mortality rates than non-Maori, dominating in almost all major disease categories (King, 2001). When we speak of equality, we speak of exact division and equal sharing. When we say equity, we refer to the qualities of justice,…
