Question Answered step-by-step Scenario In the United States, 72% of all farmworkers are… ScenarioIn the United States, 72% of all farmworkers are foreign-born. Mexico accounts for the largest percentage of all farmworkers, at 68% of all the farmworkers. Major nursing consideration for this Mexican American population is that only 8% of the farmworkers have employer-provided health insurance. This leaves the vast majority of this largely Mexican American farm workforce without access to health insurance. These workers have a low socioeconomic status and poor access to healthcare, making access to preventative medicine almost impossible. Another nursing consideration for health promotion related to this Mexican American farmworker population is exposure to pesticides. Farmworkers are at a very high risk of acute occupational pesticide-related illnesses. This high rate of pesticide-related illnesses coupled with the lack of access to healthcare puts them at an even larger disadvantage.QUESTION1 What is your thought about Mexican immigrant farmworkers and the health education they need?2 Looking at the above Scenario as a nurse what education will you give them.
