The definition of family is best described as family of choice (Green, 2018). Family of choice means “people chosen by an individual to care, love, and trust rather than the family of origin” (Green, 2018). Clearly this is a very broad definition which includes the many nontraditional family types that exist today. A traditional family is described as “parents and offspring with the same ancestry living together” (Green, 2018). In past years, this was the majority of families and the societal norm. It is now important to include non-traditional families in the definition of what is considered a family unit or structure. The reason is that non-traditional families are rapidly increasing and becoming as prevalent as traditional ones. This includes single parent households, blended families, same gender parents, and grandparents raising grandchildren to start with. To stay relevant and knowledgeable, a nurse must be familiar with the many different family types.

Family systems theory can help us understand modern families. This is done by studying how the family interacts as a whole unit (Green, 2018). Then, each individual is assessed separately (Green, 2018). Each individual interacts with the other family members in their own way, which affects the family as a whole (Green, 2018). By looking at individual interactions, we can then make sense of the family system as a whole. Individuals are even described as subsystems, meaning they are affected by and affect the entire family system, but are still independent in some ways (Green, 2018). This can be applied to traditional and non-traditional families. A person does not have to be genetically related to another to depend on and be affected by one another in a family system.

There are three levels of health promotion: Primary, secondary and tertiary. These levels help nurses determine the patient’s education needs.

Primary Prevention: It happens before the onset of the disease or injury, it prevents the onset of illness or injury before the disease process begins. It is done by the elimination or reduction of factors that reduce good health and promoting factors that are protective of health. Health promotion and education interventions are used in the primary prevention. Examples of primary prevention include programs for smoking cessation, immunization programs and increasing opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating.

Secondary Prevention: It is about early detection or intervention before the disease cause permanent damage. Early screening and treatment is the focus of the secondary prevention. It is for individuals who may not show any symptoms but are exposed to or have known risk factor for a particular condition. Examples of secondary prevention are breast cancer screening programs and regular hearing tests for workers exposed to industrial noise.

Tertiary Prevention: It targets those individuals with diagnosed illness and disease. It happens after the disease is already established and caused some permanent damage. This prevention focuses on reducing the consequences of the disease process to improve the individual quality of life or reducing the progression of the disease. Examples of tertiary prevention are self-management programs for those with chronic illness, or rehabilitation programs for those recovering from accident or illness.

A nurse can apply all three levels of health promotion to determine the patient’s education needs.For example: A patient on a primary prevention a nurse can teach the patient about diet and hot to protect themselves from developing diseases. A patient on Secondary prevention a nurse can educate the patient about see a primary care doctor regularly and when experience certain symptoms such as fever, so they can get early treatment. A patient on the tertiary level a nurse could educate on how to take their medication appropriately.

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:

Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity influence health for this group?
What are the health disparities that exist for this group? What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?
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.
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?
