Extreme poverty in the form of homelessness affects women, children, and minorities more often than others. Those who are homeless:

1. Need more nursing care than other vulnerable groups
2. Have no desire to seek medical care
3. Have even fewer resources than poor people who have adequate housing
4. Are living in despair with no hope or resilience

Question 2

Nurses are accountable for participating in the development of legislation and family policy. The Family Leave legislation passed in 1993:

1. Allows a person to resign from his job and retain his health insurance
2. Prevents nurses from discussing family information with colleagues
3. Gives Medicaid to families that cannot afford health insurance
4. Allows a family member to take a defined about of tine off for family events
