Feedback:
The term "minority" refers to a group of people within a society whose members have different ethnic, racial, national, religious, sexual, political, linguistic, or other characteristics from the majority of that society. Racial and ethnic minorities continue to have higher rates of disease, disability, and premature death than non-minorities; therefore, these are key points that the nurse should present.
