title: Clinical Nurse Specialists' Perceptions of Care for Vulnerable Patients.
abstract: The vulnerable and underserved are populations that have higher risks in health care. A clinical nurse specialist is an advanced practice registered nurse who can help mitigate risks and provide holistic care for these patients. Researching clinical nurse specialists' perceptions of their role in caring for the vulnerable populations is important to ensuring quality care and filling in current practice weaknesses.
