Mr. Brown is a 79-year-old African American male who has hypertension and has a history of mild strokes. He lives in rural Alabama with his daughter and son-in-law. He was a farmer who never graduated from grade school, but he managed to support a family of five with his labors. At present, he cannot work due to a tractor accident five months ago and receives a small disability check. Explain how he is a member of a vulnerable population and name the groups which would be considered vulnerable. Discuss three issues related to Mr. Browns cultural background that might affect his recovery from his injury. You must include at least three peer reviewed, evidence-based articles with in-text citations to support your answer.
Write a one-page letter to your current state representative explaining how the challenges that Mr. Brown is facing may be addressed from a legislative standpoint. For example, the difficulty that farmers experience and/or people with disabilities. This letter must be professionally written which includes a salutation, proper address, and evidence supporting your stance.
