Explain why the population is designated as “vulnerable.” Include the number of individuals belonging to this group and the specific challenges or issues involved. Discuss why these populations are unable to advocate for themselves, the ethical issues that must be considered when working with these groups, and how nursing advocacy would be beneficial.

Usually, most economically disadvantaged people suffer from low esteem, making it very hard for them to advocate for themselves. Being demoralized by the fact that they cannot pay their essential bills stumbles their urge to call for advocacy of their situation. When working with people from this class, it is always ethical to respect them, give them hope, and help them in any possible means to free them from poverty. Nursing advocacy will significantly reduce the number of people in this bracket. Reducing people struggling financially through government and non-governmental collective efforts means societal empowerment.
