Ensuring equitable care and health outcomes for all populations is essential in nursing science. However, achieving health equity in nursing science necessitates a multifaceted approach to address the complex factors influencing health disparities. This paper presented the keynote address delivered at the Advanced Methods Conference hosted by the Council for Advancement of Nursing Science in 2023. We identified critical gaps in health equity within nursing science, emphasizing the need for innovative recruitment strategies, comprehensive data analysis, and targeted dissemination efforts. This paper underscores the importance of equity in artificial intelligence research, highlighting issues such as biases in machine learning models and the underrepresentation of minoritized groups. Bridging the current gaps in health equity research within nursing science requires a systematic and forward-thinking approach.

Physical dysfunction is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and accompanying intensive care unit-acquired weakness in the early stages of intensive care unit admission, and early diagnosis and prevention with early mobilization are crucial. However, the amount of physical activity required for early mobilization remains controversial in critically ill patients.
