- Health Disparity: A difference in health outcomes (often unavoidable) for individuals with or without insurance.

Public Health Nursing Process
- Assessment: Gathering and analyzing data to identify community health needs.
- Diagnosis: Identifying health problems/risks affecting the population.
- Planning: Developing strategies to address identified problems, prioritizing interventions based on community needs and resources. Collaboration with community leaders and organizations is crucial.
