Working With Vulnerable Populations
Working With Vulnerable Populations
Discuss issues and concerns related to working with vulnerable populations, such as
children, the elderly, those who are incarcerated, or those with physical or mental
impairments. Based on readings about vulnerable populations from the studies for this
unit or other literature, discuss your understanding of voluntary consent and challenges
when working with vulnerable populations. Identify specific laws and ethical standards
in your state that apply to working with vulnerable populations, reporting child or elder
abuse, and conducting research with vulnerable populations.
Response Guidelines
Read the posts of the other learners and respond to the initial posts of two learners. If
possible, respond to learners who researched ethical standards in states other than your
own. Compare professional practices in ethical research, abuse reporting, and clinical
treatment with vulnerable populations. Include text concepts, relevant research, or
professional or practical experiences to support your response.
