NRS 429VN – Transtheoretical model (TTM)

Re: Topic 1 DQ 2
A health promotion model used for behavioral change is the transtheoretical model (TTM). An example of a behavioral change is smoking cessation. According to Whitney (2018), this method helps to identify a patient’s level of readiness to make necessary to changes to improve their health. It is broken down into 6 stages: 

  1. Precontemplation
  2. Contemplation
  3. Preparation
  4. Action
  5. Maintenance
  6. Termination

This model aids in behavioral changes by using it as an assessment tool. It helps to identify in what stage a person is in to begin a behavioral change. Knowing what stage a person is in can help guide behavioral strategies that can influence behaviors towards a better health outcome. The first stage of this model is the first barrier that can affect the patient’s ability to learn. The precontemplation stage is when a person is not even considering making a change, they may have thought about it, but they don’t have the confidence or will to make a change. They know smoking is bad for them they know the side effects, but they are just not mentally ready to even think about smoking cessation. If a patient is not ready or motivated to learn or change their behavior, a positive learning outcome will not be met NRS 429VN – Transtheoretical model (TTM).

Describe a health promotion model used to initiate behavioral changes. How does this model help in teaching behavioral changes? What are some of the barriers that affect a patient’s ability to learn? How does a patient’s readiness to learn, or readiness to change, affect learning outcomes?

response

The transtheoretical model is a good theory for patients to self reflect. This model holds the patient accountable to really understand what the real problem is. Also the great thing about this theory is that it is done in stages, or baby steps to the patient.The theory helps with staying motivated to continue reaching the next goal. By assessing the patient’s readiness to change, the nurse can create appropriate behavioral objectives for the patient’s current stage (Whitney, 2018). I do agree with you that if a patient is not ready or motivated to learn or change their behavior no goals will be met NRS 429VN – Transtheoretical model (TTM).

Family Health Assessment Part I GCU NRS-429VN

Family Health Assessment Part-1

Performing a family health assessment is a way that nurses can interact with the family.  Obtaining knowledge about one’s family structure, how they function, and the way they process situations, and perform task will inform the nurse on how they can optimize a nursing care educational plan to in cooperate in their family structure and can provide individualized nursing care plans that will be unique to their family system. According to (Kaakinen, 2018).

I have chosen a family that is very dear to me, but that has endured great tragedy recently and other medical and mental health problems. I thought this would be a great family to conduct this interview. In this family there are four members that consist of three teenagers that include a 15-year-old boy, girl A who is 19, Girl B who is 17, a mother and a recently deceased father Family Health Assessment Part I GCU NRS-429VN.

They all work well in supporting each other, especially with the recent loss of their father. The current health of the family is not the best due to their circumstances, they all know this though and are willing and taking appropriate steps to achieve a healthy outcome. Some of the areas they could improve would be the nutritional, exercise, and following medication orders provided by the doctor.

The Family states that their health is important to them especially since the untimely death of the kids’ father was due to a massive heart attack at age 34 who was extremely overweight. The eldest daughter has recently gained a substantial amount of weight and is not making the best decisions on what she eats states the mother. The son is extremely active and plays basketball and football, he states that he works out regularly during the week at school Family Health Assessment Part I GCU NRS-429VN.

Nutrition

The mother said that during the week it is hard for them to eat at home all together due to everyone’s busy schedules, school activities, and work. She said that when they are all home on the weekends though that they do eat at home and a well-balanced meal. However, the eldest daughter has been eating a lot of sweets and carbs said she is worried that the loss of her father is making her depressed, and she has been eating a lot due to that.

Sleep/rest

All the family members stated that they do not get enough sleep and do not feel very rested in the mornings, the son stated that he comes home every day from school and lays down till around 7 or 8pm. The middle daughter takes melatonin to assist in falling asleep, and mother states she is only getting about four hours of sleep at night, she lies awake every night and worries about her kids in this difficult time and stresses out over her financial situation. (Radek, 2021) states that the recommended amount of sleep is 7-8 hours of sleep.

 

Elimination

All family members stated they do not have any problems with their bowels or bladder except mother, she stated she has a large kidney stone, but she cannot have surgery due to Covid right now and that the hospital will only do emergency surgeries at this time. According to (Ferraro, 2020) it is recommended to increase fluid intake, and maintain a healthy well-balanced diet with reducing intake of sodium and animal proteins, and to also increase fiber intake Family Health Assessment Part I GCU NRS-429VN.

Family Health Assessment Part I

  

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:

  1. Values/Health Perception
  2. Nutrition
  3. Sleep/Rest
  4. Elimination
  5. Activity/Exercise
  6. Cognitive
  7. Sensory-Perception
  8. Self-Perception
  9. Role Relationship
  10. Sexuality
  11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview. Family Health Assessment Part I GCU NRS-429VN

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

  1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.

Re: Topic 2 DQ 1

What is a definition of family that encompasses the different family structures prevalent today?

The definition of a family that encompasses the different family structures in modern times is the family of choice. According to Green (2018), this type of family is unique in that the individual chooses the individual to care, love and trust for them rather than their family or origin.

Discuss the importance of acknowledging nontraditional family structures.

It’s important for the nurse to acknowledge the non- traditional family structure so that health promotion can be implemented according to their family structure. The concerns of a nontraditional family might be different than a traditional family unit. As mentioned in the chapter on health promotion, for the nurse to understand what “family,” is, it’s important to assess so that proper interventions can be placed (Green, 2018). Proper assessment of the family structure of the individual will aid the nurse to promote health and behavioral changes. It’s also important to note that an individual’s illness affects the family’s health as well. The family unit can have a negative or positive impact on each other NRS-429VN Topic 2 DQ 1 family structures discussion essay.

Explain how family systems theory can be used to better understand the interactions of a modern family (traditional or nontraditional)

The family systems theory can be used when interacting with any type of family whether traditional or non-traditional as the approach is the same. In family systems theory, the family is a whole and each member of the unit affect each other. The family member is independent, has personal goals, roles, functions, and individual characteristic, but is interdependent of the family unit. Understanding the importance of each person in the patient’s family unit is crucial to engage the family in promoting changes to improve health outcomes. The family systems theory helps to aid the Nurse in health promotion to understanding the patient’s behaviors. Among family systems theories the main theme is that they all empower the individual to make decisions that will make them feel valued, loved, and accepted. Individual want others attention, approval, and support as well as feel connected to their family unit. The family unit is an emotional unit that is very emotionally connected (Devlin, 2021).

it is important for a nurse to understand the family system theory. That way, she knows to include the family in the decision-making and care of the patient. because any decision taken on the patient indirectly affects the entire family.

Re: Topic 2 DQ 1
After attempting several times to find a more modern definition of family, I was honestly surprised that I really could not find one that I felt really encompassed the different family structures of the present day. I have combined multiple definitions to create what I believe to be the most suitable, A family is a group of one or more parents/guardians and their children who may or may not be descendants of a common ancestor, living together as a unit. The nuclear family, elementary family or conjugal family are family groups consisting of only parents and their children. These types of families still exist but are no longer the majority. We now have family structures that include Grand Parents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins all who live under the same roof and operate successfully as a family unit. The nontraditional family structure has become normal. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2020 married couples made up 48% of U.S. households, down from 71% in 1970. Over this same period, non-traditional households increased from just 29% in 1970 to 52% today. Acknowledgment of the nontraditional family is a must in order to provide effective care and teaching of both patients and students in the nursing field.Family Systems Theory is a theory introduced by Dr. Murray Bowen that suggests that individuals cannot be understood in isolation from one another, but rather as a part of their family, as the family is an emotional unit. This theory can be used to understand the interactions between the modern family in a few ways. By understanding the roles each individual plays in the nontraditional family, we can breakdown their interactions and how we should interact with them as well NRS-429VN Topic 2 DQ 1 family structures discussion essay. With the ever-changing family structure, we must remain flexible and open-minded about what a family truly is.Referenceshttps://www.putnam.com/literature/pdf/II916.pdf May 2021

Topic 2 DQ 1
The definition of family ranges from country to country, and has many interworking differences that include religion, culture, and socioeconomic status. Time has changed repeatedly, changing the way families survive. At one time family meant there was a father, mother and children. Today, the family could mean two fathers and children, 2 mothers and children, no parents with grandparents raising the children. It can also include other relatives, friends and much more.It is important to know about nontraditional family structures, because in today’s world, traditional is not the norm. Blended families are everywhere, and each is unique. Household’s include parents, biological children, foster, children, adopted children, stepchildren and so on. Nontraditional also means different religion practices, hierarchy of kinship and who is the head of household. 

“Because of the multitude of definitions of “family” and the changing realities of the current times, there is a felt need for redefining the family and the common types, for the purpose of study of the family as a factor in health and other variables of interest. The following definition of a “family” is hence proposed. People related by marriage, birth, consanguinity or legal adoption, who share a common kitchen and financial resources on a regular basis.” (NCBI 2013)

There are eight concepts using the family systems theory and they include:

  1. Differentiation of self
  2. Emotional triangle
  3. Family projection process
  4. Multigenerational transmission process
  5. Emotional cutoff
  6. Sibling position
  7. Societal emotional process
  8. Nuclear family emotional process. (Goodtherapy 2018)

Being able to respond to anxiety, separating thoughts from feelings, and being able to cope with the many changes in life successfully is being able to differentiate yourself. The emotional triangle means that there are always two sides to emotions. The triangle includes harmony and conflict, and they are a constant balance. Knowing when projecting on family members is key to help prevent having a negative impact NRS-429VN Topic 2 DQ 1 family structures discussion essay. As generations continue to pass on, differentiation can lower and eventually break the pattern if the individuals find partners with similar or lower levels. Knowing when to be able to distance yourself emotionally will not only be helpful to you but family members as well depending on the situation. Siblings and their ranking in the family have their own roles. Older children have a duty to help and be role models for younger children. Society always plays an important role in the family. It can affect the household in many ways, good and bad, causing even more stress. The nuclear process is always a high anxious and high energy family. Constant fighting, arguments and criticism passing on more stress and anguish to the family dynamics. NRS-429VN Topic 2 DQ 1 Family Structures Discussion Essay

Regardless of the family, it is important to know how it works to be able to help each family in the household thrive, especially with their healthcare. Achieving good outcomes at home, most likely the family will be participating and knowing how they work can get the right tools and people in place to be successful.

Proper assessment of the family structure of the individual will aid the nurse to promote health and behavioral changes. It’s also important to note that an individual’s illness affects the family’s health as well. The family unit can have a negative or positive impact on each other NRS-429VN Topic 2 DQ 1 family structures discussion essay.

Explain how family systems theory can be used to better understand the interactions of a modern family (traditional or nontraditional)

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION PAPERS

The family systems theory can be used when interacting with any type of family whether traditional or non-traditional as the approach is the same. In family systems theory, the family is a whole and each member of the unit affect each other. The family member is independent, has personal goals, roles, functions, and individual characteristic, but is interdependent of the family unit. Understanding the importance of each person in the patient’s family unit is crucial to engage the family in promoting changes to improve health outcomes. The family systems theory helps to aid the Nurse in health promotion to understanding the patient’s behaviors. Among family systems theories the main theme is that they all empower the individual to make decisions that will make them feel valued, loved, and accepted. Individual want others attention, approval, and support as well as feel connected to their family unit. The family unit is an emotional unit that is very emotionally connected (Devlin, 2021).

response

it is important for a nurse to understand the family system theory. That way, she knows to include the family in the decision-making and care of the patient. because any decision taken on the patient indirectly affects the entire family.

 

response 2

That is so well written you discussed the family structure and the use of the Family Systems Theory. The system created by these individuals influences values and morals.

Re: Topic 2 DQ 1
After attempting several times to find a more modern definition of family, I was honestly surprised that I really could not find one that I felt really encompassed the different family structures of the present day. I have combined multiple definitions to create what I believe to be the most suitable, A family is a group of one or more parents/guardians and their children who may or may not be descendants of a common ancestor, living together as a unit. The nuclear family, elementary family or conjugal family are family groups consisting of only parents and their children. These types of families still exist but are no longer the majority. We now have family structures that include Grand Parents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins all who live under the same roof and operate successfully as a family unit. The nontraditional family structure has become normal. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2020 married couples made up 48% of U.S. households, down from 71% in 1970. Over this same period, non-traditional households increased from just 29% in 1970 to 52% today. Acknowledgment of the nontraditional family is a must in order to provide effective care and teaching of both patients and students in the nursing field.Family Systems Theory is a theory introduced by Dr. Murray Bowen that suggests that individuals cannot be understood in isolation from one another, but rather as a part of their family, as the family is an emotional unit. This theory can be used to understand the interactions between the modern family in a few ways. By understanding the roles each individual plays in the nontraditional family, we can breakdown their interactions and how we should interact with them as well NRS-429VN Topic 2 DQ 1 family structures discussion essay. With the ever-changing family structure, we must remain flexible and open-minded about what a family truly is.Referenceshttps://www.putnam.com/literature/pdf/II916.pdf May 2021

Topic 2 DQ 1
The definition of family ranges from country to country, and has many interworking differences that include religion, culture, and socioeconomic status. Time has changed repeatedly, changing the way families survive. At one time family meant there was a father, mother and children. Today, the family could mean two fathers and children, 2 mothers and children, no parents with grandparents raising the children. It can also include other relatives, friends and much more.It is important to know about nontraditional family structures, because in today’s world, traditional is not the norm. Blended families are everywhere, and each is unique. Household’s include parents, biological children, foster, children, adopted children, stepchildren and so on. Nontraditional also means different religion practices, hierarchy of kinship and who is the head of household. NRS-429VN Topic 2 DQ 1 family structures discussion essay 

“Because of the multitude of definitions of “family” and the changing realities of the current times, there is a felt need for redefining the family and the common types, for the purpose of study of the family as a factor in health and other variables of interest. The following definition of a “family” is hence proposed. People related by marriage, birth, consanguinity or legal adoption, who share a common kitchen and financial resources on a regular basis.” (NCBI 2013)

There are eight concepts using the family systems theory and they include:

  1. Differentiation of self
  2. Emotional triangle
  3. Family projection process
  4. Multigenerational transmission process
  5. Emotional cutoff
  6. Sibling position
  7. Societal emotional process
  8. Nuclear family emotional process. (Goodtherapy 2018)

Being able to respond to anxiety, separating thoughts from feelings, and being able to cope with the many changes in life successfully is being able to differentiate yourself. The emotional triangle means that there are always two sides to emotions. The triangle includes harmony and conflict, and they are a constant balance. Knowing when projecting on family members is key to help prevent having a negative impact NRS-429VN Topic 2 DQ 1 family structures discussion essay. As generations continue to pass on, differentiation can lower and eventually break the pattern if the individuals find partners with similar or lower levels. Knowing when to be able to distance yourself emotionally will not only be helpful to you but family members as well depending on the situation. Siblings and their ranking in the family have their own roles. Older children have a duty to help and be role models for younger children. Society always plays an important role in the family. It can affect the household in many ways, good and bad, causing even more stress. The nuclear process is always a high anxious and high energy family. Constant fighting, arguments and criticism passing on more stress and anguish to the family dynamics.

Regardless of the family, it is important to know how it works to be able to help each family in the household thrive, especially with their healthcare. Achieving good outcomes at home, most likely the family will be participating and knowing how they work can get the right tools and people in place to be successful.

NRS-429 VN Topic 2 DQ 2 -Family health promotion strategies

Re: Topic 2 DQ 2

The concept of family health is important in society as individual in each family affect each other and plays a role in helping each other to achieve optimal healt. Families have a connectedness with everyone in the unit and it enables for changes to occur. Families love, trust, and support each other during times of distress. It’s important to determine in health promotion who the family unit is for a patient so that they are engaged in family education to promote positive behavioral changes NRS-429 VN Topic 2 DQ 2 -Family health promotion strategies.

There are various strategies to promote health but as mentioned in the article, “5 Health Promotion Action Areas Every Nurse Should Know,” there are three key strategies to create effective health promotion, Health Communication, Health Education and Policy, Systems and Environmental changes. In health communication the goal is to promote health literacy, discuss health screenings, educate the patient and families regarding their health issues. Health Education promotes preventive health, daily choices a person makes to improve their health, to lead a healthy lifestyle. In an example given by the article was, for poor communities to have access to a Nutritionist to combat diabetes. The other strategy is for Policy systems and Environmental changes, creating policies that enable a person to have access to healthcare for instance and environment is the environmental changes within a community that inhibits their health outcomes, for example people that live in communities that high pollution.

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION PAPERS

The Nurse can determine which strategies will be best to enable individuals or families by assessing the socioeconomic, financial, and family structure of the family to improve their health. To promote health changes within the family the Nurse also needs to determine what the barriers are to promoting those changes in the family. For instance, as mentioned in previous discussion in our forum with Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs a family with a low socioeconomic background is unable to focus on education when their focus is daily life is to meet their physical needs first. Assessing the family unit will enable to the nurse to develop a health promotion health plan based on their needs NRS-429 VN Topic 2 DQ 2 -Family health promotion strategies.

Why is the concept of family health important? Consider the various strategies for health promotion. How does a nurse determine which strategy would best enable the targeted individuals to gain more control over, and improve, their health?

Re: Topic 2 DQ 2

The concept of family health is important because a family health history can identify people with a higher-than-usual chance of having common disorders, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, certain cancers, type 2 diabetes as well as possible mental health issues. These complex disorders are influenced by a combination of genetic factors, environmental conditions, and lifestyle choices. understanding these preexisting factors within the family dynamic help nurses formulate better treatment plans. Strategies that would be effective for health promotion when dealing with family health are assessing education level, family structure, inquiring about previous encounters with healthcare professionals and health concerns. Deciding which strategy to use in order to help a patient gain control over and improve their health can be tricky. The best approach in my opinion is to use the person’s own motivations and goals towards health as well as educating the family so the environment can be supportive, this will make behavioral changes that will positively affect the patients’ health a lot easier for the patient to stick to over time which will in turn produce better health outcomes NRS-429 VN Topic 2 DQ 2 -Family health promotion strategies.

Topic 2 DQ 2

Family health is important because the family is there every day to help each other survive. Knowing the needs of the patient and the family will help ensure their health promotion on target with goals that are given. There are many different strategies the nurse can use to target the family. Doing a complete assessment of the patient and family will help determine which path to take. Making sure the patient has control over their own needs is important, but what is the family able to do to help and what are their barriers as well. Being sure the family’s overall health is important so that they can continue to help each other and care for one another. As a nurse it is our duty to help find ways to ease the stress of the patient and their family to help them in their healthcare journey. If the patient’s financial situation is not that great, knowing the local tools to help like shelters, food banks, churches and other programs that are available in the community can be a huge help to them. When working with families it is important to always use “an accepting, nonjudgmental approach that can enhance collaborative efforts from the family members.” (Green, S. 2018) Knowing the patient and family’s strengths and weaknesses will help determine what their needs will be and what services to provide.

Below are some core concepts I thought were interesting!

“Core Concepts of Patient- and Family-Centered Care

  • Dignity and Respect. Health care practitioners listen to and honor patient and family perspectives and choices. Patient and family knowledge, values, beliefs and cultural backgrounds are incorporated into the planning and delivery of care.
  • Information Sharing. Health care practitioners communicate and share complete and unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are affirming and useful. Patients and families receive timely, complete and accurate information in order to effectively participate in care and decision-making NRS-429 VN Topic 2 DQ 2 -Family health promotion strategies.
  • Participation. Patients and families are encouraged and supported in participating in care and decision-making at the level they choose.
  • Collaboration. Patients, families, health care practitioners, and health care leaders collaborate in policy and program development, implementation, and evaluation; in facility design; in professional education; and in research; as well as in the delivery of care.” NRS-429 VN Topic 2 DQ 2 -Family health promotion strategies

Family Assessment Part II GCU – social determinates of health (SDOH)

Family Assessment Part II

Social Determinants of health or (SDOH) is the determination of one’s health by examining their social and economic factors.  According to (WHO, 2019) SDOH definition is “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local levels.”

A disruption in any of these can lead to poor health outcomes.

Upon interviewing the Foster family, it does not appear they experience a lot of SDOH factors. One factors they do experience though, would be financial strain. With the recent tragedy of the kids’ father, there was a lot of unexpected expenses and a loss of income which has resulted in a huge financial strain that has not only been felt with Mrs. Foster, but also with the oldest daughter. With the pressure of this strain, there has been a notable decrease in Ms. Fosters health that has been exacerbated by the decrease in sleep. Also, the loss of medical insurance that the father provided has in return halted the health promotion Family Assessment Part II GCU – social determinates of health (SDOH).

Another SDOH that has affected the family is food insecurity which is related to financial strain.  With the loss of income, the family has struggled with the means to buy groceries, in return, the family is making poor eating choices by eating fast food mostly. Thus, increasing the risk of some health problems if not corrected soon.

Appropriate health screenings are a great primary preventative treatment. Ms. Foster is 35 and has had a previous hysterectomy and has stated she is currently not receiving any hormone therapy due to side effects she developed after taking some. She however is experiencing vaginal dryness, no sex drive, and bad hot flashes, and now these side effects are interfering with her daily life. She should seek a gynecologist appointment to further review possible medication treatments. She also has a kidney stone that is unable to be operated on now due to limited surgeries from covid that needs to be monitored. Also, with the amount of stress Ms. Foster has been going through and the lack of sleep she should get a blood pressure screening done as well as getting her routine lab work done.

Ashlynn, 19 years old, should get lab work done for cholesterol and lipids, as well as an A1 C due to extreme weight gain. According to (American Stroke Association, 2018) young adults that are overweight can begin to develop high blood pressure that will put them at higher risk for developing stroke and heart disease later in life Family Assessment Part II GCU – social determinates of health (SDOH). Studies show that there is a relationship between being overweight and heart problems in young adults and that heart damage can begin long before the heart attacks and strokes are seen in overweight adults. Also, with the added fatal heart attack on her father this is a very big concern that should be addressed quickly. Family Assessment Part II GCU – social determinates of health (SDOH)

Kylee the middle daughter who is 17, has been acting out and rebelling should be assessed for depression, she also is having a hard time sleeping and is taking medication to help her. She has also never seen an OBGYN so she should make an appointment to be see so she can get a pap-smear and so she can also discuss over HPV vaccine option.

Cade, is the 15 year old son. He should have a mental health screening to rule out depression due to the passing of his father.  According to (Douglas M. Maurer|Tyler J. Raymond|Bethany N. Davis, 2018) a disturbed family environment can be a risk factor for depression in youth, and with him not opening very much about how he is feeling, this would be an indicator that he needs to get this screening.

For this family the Self-empowerment model would be beneficial, the main objective in this model is to promote self-empowerment and enhances self- awareness. Also, it uses the action competence process that recognizing determinants that may be beyond their control.

Some health promotion strategies for this family would be to promote exercise and healthy eating, encourage open communication on how each induvial is feeling along with being there and listening when one need to talk, education on developing some healthy coping skills, and educate family on stages of grief. Also, to encourage medical checkups on previously discussed topics.  With open communication on how each other’s filling and being respectful on the stages they are going through this family will eventually heal and will be stronger for coming together in this time Family Assessment Part II GCU – social determinates of health (SDOH).

Health Promotion in Minority Populations

America is known as the most culturally diverse countries in the world and Hispanics make up one, if not the largest minority groups in America. When I used to think of Hispanic families, I shamefully knew nothing about their heritage, culture, or beliefs. Then 14 years ago I met a Hispanic who turned out to be the most incredible man I have ever met, he is now my husband of 7 years, and the father of my children. Over the past 14 years I have learned so much about the Hispanic culture, traditions, and health habits, and also that they are some of the most caring and loving people I have ever met, and their culture puts a huge emphasis on family, traditions, and faith nrs 429vn health promotion in minority populations essay.

However, unfortunately, Hispanics do not have the greatest health habits and according to (“Hispanic/Latino – The Office of Minority Health,” 2021) some of the main perpetrators of illness and death among Hispanics include that of heart disease, cancer, accidental injuries, and strokes. Hispanics also have higher rates of obesity than other ethnic groups, which could be a reason why they also suffer greatly from diabetes and diabetes complications. Race and ethnicity can play a large role in the influence of health for Hispanics. According to (“RACE, ETHNICITY, AND THE HEALTH OF AMERICANS,” n.d.) genetics and biology can account for some of the variation in health status of racial and ethnic groups, social science research shows the powerful influence on health of risk taking and preventive behavior, social and economic inequalities, communities and environments, health policy, and racist practices. These imbrication dynamics play a role in explaining how racial and ethnic disparities in health outcomes.

Health disparities are things that happen with one’s health that according to (Health disparities,” 2019) that have preventable differences in the burden of disease, injury, violence, or in opportunities to achieve optimal health experienced by.  Though some of the health indicators have improved some, such as life expectancy and infant mortality, a lot of minorities experience a disproportionate burden of preventable disease, death, and disability compared with non-minorities. Some of the health barriers that Hispanics have socially disadvantaged racial, ethnic, and other population groups, and communities nrs 429vn health promotion in minority populations essay.

A covid study that was done, and article published by (National Institute of Health, 2021) showed that minority health disparities are most likely attributable to the continuous effects of residential racial segregation and poverty, which, more than likely influences multiple relevant risk factors and describe health barriers that includes economic, population health, housing, and health care characteristics. An example would be residing in an overcrowded or multi-generational housing due to economic hardship, cultural factors, or the use of public transit may facilitate the spread of the disease within the community.  Also, economic pressures that can arise from being a single parent, limited English proficiency or from living in communities that have a large unemployment or housing costs may cause individuals to continue working even if they are ill. In addition, individuals living on incomes below poverty, or racial and ethnic minorities may have a higher risk of major illness or a higher mortality rate because of their greater burden of underlying chronic diseases and having limited access to health care nrs 429vn health promotion in minority populations essay.

Nutritional challenges among Hispanics are very prevalent, due to the large number of family celebrations and excess of food that is high in calories and fats. With Hispanics being known for their strong family bond and sharing meals at home, it can be extremely hard for one family member to make healthy changes with nutrition. There is also the aspect of culture where turning down food is seen as rude, impolite, and disrespectful. According to (“Hispanic/Latino Americans and type 2 diabetes,” 2021) Hispanics/Latinos are known to have a much higher rate of obesity then other ethnic groups and are also thought to be less physically active than non-Hispanic whites. Some, however, see being overweight as a sign of health instead of as a health problem, thus not changing eating habits and making healthier lifestyle choices.

Hispanics from what I can find from researching and my own experiences, the do not practice a lot of health promotion activities. While researching I found an article that had this quote and I just fell in love with it, it states in (Mikell & Snethen, n.d.) “As Jesus directs us to glorify God in our good works, approaching health promotion from a faith perspective provides additional support for Latino parishes as safe places where nurses can connect faith and health, address disparities in health outcomes, and increase access to health programs.” Nurses should educate on health promotion activities with the understanding of all aspects I have covered so that they will see you have a cultural respect, which will enhance trust and establish a relationship in which they feel cared and understood, then in return will improve the quality of care and eliminate disparities nrs 429vn health promotion in minority populations essay.

Health promotion prevention that would be the most beneficial and effective for Hispanics would be having a primary goal of a healthier diet and promoting exercise. Making sure to provide resources to help with ideas on healthy food options and exercises to do at home, since Hispanics have a higher rate of poverty, making sure they have the understanding that they can achieve this at home without added expense would improve chances of the prevention being achieved and maintained. Secondary prevention is to address any prediabetes, checking hgA1C, to treat and prevent the need for a tertiary management, which would be to prevent any further complications of diabetes, including correct treatments of wounds to prevent limb removal. Making sure to provide all education in Spanish so that they fully understand.

Culture practices should be considered when creating a care plan for Hispanics, making sure to include support of religious beliefs, family participation, and culture respect. In doing this the best way would be to use the cultural competence theory to provide the best knowledge, polices, and skills to provide the best treatment to patient.

Health Promotion in Minority Populations

  

Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the United States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze the health status for this group.

In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the health status of your selected minority group to the national average. Include the following:

  1. Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?
  2. What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
  3. Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors. Nrs 429vn health promotion in minority populations essay
  4. What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?
  5. Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
  6. What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?

NRS-434VN: Developmental Assessment and the School-Aged Child

/in /by

NRS-434VN: Developmental Assessment and the School-Aged Child

Children who are between the ages of 5 and 12 years are in the developmental stage and are school going. According to Cherry (2018), physical examination is carried out on these children for various reasons such as being taken to a well-baby clinic, or they are sick and are about to be admitted. The underlaying issue is that it is essential to be conscious of the needs of a child based on their age and developmental stage (Sevo, 2017). The assessment will inform the care panning for the child upon receiving the right subjective and objective information NRS-434VN: Developmental Assessment and the School-Aged Child.

Physical Assessment

Physical assessment among the children between the ages of 5 and 15 years is quite different from that of the toddlers and preschoolers. This is because the school going children have started appreciating and understanding the reality as opposed to fantasy. They are capable of thinking logically and can easily understand the resultant effect of an action. Their thoughts processes at this stage of development are known as ‘concrete operations’. At this stage their reasoning is advanced and can interact with other people in the outside world. It is also essential to note that at this stage, the child becomes very eager to learn, accomplish tasks and be appreciated. Developmental theorist Erik Erikson points out that between 5-12 years the child is in the stage of industry which explains their industrious nature (Cherry, 2018).

ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED SOLUTION PAPERS

Between the ages of 5-12 years, a child is able to give an accurate account of their illness. This is one of the reasons why they should be interviewed together with parents or guardians. The techniques can be modified to suite the age and development stage of the child (Kaufman, 2018). Children at this stage are asked questions they can answer, especially regarding school, how they perform and their friends. They are examined thoroughly just like an adult because they can cooperate when carrying out the procedure (Kaufman, 2018) NRS-434VN: Developmental Assessment and the School-Aged Child.

The needs of between the ages of 5 and 12 years also vary. The data obtained at each age is therefore different at each age. The mode of assessment should be dynamic. For example, a 5-year-old obtains more information from the parent or caregiver while a 12-year old can easily express themselves well. One of the techniques that can be used during the assessment is observation. In this case, the caregiver will interact with the child and come up with conclusions based on how the child conducts themselves (Kaufman, 2018). Caregiver rating, portfolios and standardized test are some of the methods that can be used. The methods are applicable to different ages, and in each case, techniques are modified accordingly. For instance, questions can be read out on a standardized test to a 5-year-old while a 12-year old will be left to read for themselves. After an examination, the assessor will be able to identify specific needs that help in establishing the intervention required to support a child. The assessor will also come up with an individualized strategy for a child or a group of children within a given age to provide the best care (Cherry, 2018).

The specific developmental milestones attained by children need to be appreciated by the assessors. It will help them understand the various needs and problems of the children based on their ages. Assessment is essential in determining the welfare of a child. The caregivers will also have an opportunity to understand the special needs required by a child. It is also a perfect opportunity for both the caregiver and the parent to cooperate and support the child. However, the needs of a child keep on changing with time, therefore the mechanism used should also vary NRS-434VN: Developmental Assessment and the School-Aged Child.
