1. Clearly identify at least five different patient populations.
2. Describe one or more current health policies already in place regarding these populations. These may be federal, state, or local.
3. Cover three or more issues that your staff may encounter when providing care for each of the populations (for example, language, culture, health literacy, etc.).
4. Include descriptions of the types of resources that will be available to your staff (for example, translators, mental health professionals, future training, etc.).
Your presentation should include at least five citations from the textbook, articles, or other credible sources, provided in a separate bibliography using proper APA format.
