Discussion Question: Dicussion 3
Like healthcare disparities, disability disparities refer to the differences in service delivery, disability experiences, or clinical outcomes based on one’s membership in a particular group such as age, race, culture, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status (Kersey-Matusiak, 2019).

What can you do as a nurse to address the disparity and ensure a positive outcome for patients? Consider Lewis’ model. What biases might act as barriers to access to care for members of culturally diverse groups?
