Disability is a growing issue for health care providers, with more than 60 million people in the United States and 1 billion people worldwide living with disability. People with disabilities frequently report receiving substandard health care because health care professionals do not communicate well or take their disability into consideration when providing care.

Case Part 1 (text): Growth in the aging population presents multiple opportunities for nurses to advocate for the needs of elders in communities. Judy Prescott, a home health nurse, has regularly visited Florence Brown, a 67-year-old client who experienced a myocardial infarction 6 months ago. Lately, Judy has been concerned about Florence because she looks more thin and tired than usual. In addition, her son, Aaron, hasnt visited her in quite some time.
Case Part 2 (video): The growth of the aging population means that nurses in public and community health settings will have increasing opportunities to work with elders and advocate for them.
