Advocacy in Public Health

Various advocacy policies in nursing have helped the patients a lot. One example of nursing advocacy that benefits patients is the nurses coming in to talk to their patients’ families for extra medical attention at home when the patient reports not getting the same. Another example is the nurse talking with the facility to let the patient receive the nursing care but paying slowly when the patient is not in a place to pay (Weible & Ingold, 2018). Nurses can also talk with the facility to have cheaper rates, especially in a population where the majority is poor.
