Community Health Nursing 

Since the inception of medicine, there has been a lot of transitions in the discipline. Diseases that would kill hundreds of thousands of patients are no longer threatening (Wilson, 2009). In prevention of specific diseases, there have been developments of countless intervention measures such as vaccination, prescriptions, and surgery. A sufficient example is polio, a disease that would blame for at least a half of world’s disability cases before the last half of the 20th century (Germov & Hornosty, 2012). Today, the virus is nearly absent. Sadly, these developments are not accessible to all persons. Some group continues to suffer in silence without receiving much assistance. They include children, disabled persons, low-income families, and teenagers. This study will address the challenges of disabled persons as they seek medical attention and possible intervention measures.Community Health Nursing Sample

Physical Inaccessibility

The outcomes of this study suggest that in 60% of all countries, medical care is only available to persons who can travel to central locations, for instance, hospitals (Germov & Hornosty, 2012). In other cases, hospitals are far away and located in buildings that may not be used by persons with disability. It is even worse because they cannot travel by public means which design for persons without a disability (Wilson, 2009). The same findings reveal that at least 71% of persons with disabilities suffer physical immobility. As a result, they miss most opportunities, and in worst scenarios, they may lose lives for the deficiency.
