BackgroundSystemic policies and inequities, rather than immigration status itself, create barriers to health. In the United States, an estimated 11 million individuals live without legal authorization, a population that faces profound challenges in accessing equitable care. These barriers pose particular difficulties for palliative care nurses in recognizing and addressing the needs of undocumented immigrants.AimThe aim of this article is to examine palliative needs through the lens of the Social Determinants of Health framework.MethodA case study was designed to guide this discussion.ConclusionsIdentifying nursing interventions in this manner aligns with the overarching goals of the American Nurses Association and reflects the principles of ethical compassionate palliative nursing. Future research may explore targeted nursing interventions and programs that promote equitable access to palliative care for undocumented populations.
