Low socioeconomic status is an obstacle to obtaining adequate medical care for low-income populations. Braveman and Gottlieb report that some patients lack transportation and miss their outpatient appointments (2014). Another problem is inadequate or low-quality food consumption. Insufficient space for exercise can lead to a passive lifestyle, since several generations can live in one household. Lack or inadequate health insurance can prevent people from managing their chronic diseases.

Healthy People 2030 offers prevention as one of the strategies to reduce health care disparities and promote disease prevention for all. Community RNs can offer assistance with colorectal, breast, cervical and other screenings. To eliminate food insecurity nurses can assist local communities with participation in National School Lunch Program, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and Women, and Infants and Children Program.

There are subtle—but distinct—differences between communicating with an individual and a group. Communication among group members can be seen as a microcosm of communication within the entire organization. Using the company that you selected in Week 1, complete the following analysis to show the differences between writing and communicating a message:

• Select 2 communication channels to present 1 message to (a) an individual employee within the organization and (b) a group within the organization.
• Describe a new product being released by your company by writing messages of 400–500 words to (a) the individual, and (b) the group.
  • For the individual employee message, consider how the new product affects the individual’s job or role within the organization. How would you customize the message?
  • What considerations are important in the message for a larger group? Are there specific differences? Answer these questions in the analysis.
  • Lastly, explain what communication channels are most effective when dealing with individual employees, a group, and the larger organization. Consider cross-communication platforms, too. How do they complement each other?
