Randall explained\ufffdfrom her observations and her personal experience as a black woman\ufffdthat many African-American communities and cultures consider women who are overweight to be more beautiful and desirable than women at a healthier weight. As she put it, \ufffdMany black women are fat because we want to be\ufffd (Randall, 2012).<\/p>\n<p>Randall\ufffds statements sparked a great deal of controversy and debate; however, they emphasize an underlying reality in the healthcare field: different populations, cultures, and groups have diverse beliefs and practices that impact their health. Nurses and healthcare professionals should be aware of this reality and adapt their health assessment techniques and recommendations to accommodate diversity.<br \/>\nIn this Discussion, you will consider different socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors that should be taken into considerations when building a health history for patients with diverse backgrounds. Your Instructor will assign a case study to you for this Discussion.<\/p>\n<p>CASE STUDY:<\/p>\n<p>EB is a 68-year-old black female who comes in for follow-up of hypertension. She has glaucoma and her vision has been worsening during the past few years. She lives alone and is prescribed four hypertension medications (Hydralazine 50 mg PO Q8H, Metoprolol XL 200 mg PO Q12H, Lisinopril 40 mg PO daily, and HCTZ 25mg PO daily ). She brings in her medication bottles and she has some medication bottles from the previous year full of medications. She is missing one medication she had been prescribed and says she may have forgotten it at home. Her BP in clinic today is 182\/99 with HR of 84.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare:<br \/>\n\ufffd Reflect on your experiences as a nurse and on the information provided in this week\ufffds Learning Resources on diversity issues in health assessments.<br \/>\n\ufffd By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a case study by your Instructor. Note: Please see the \ufffdCourse Announcements\ufffd section of the classroom for your case study assignment.<br \/>\n\ufffd Reflect on the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors related to the health of the patient assigned to you.<br \/>\n\ufffd Consider how you would build a health history for the patient. What questions would you ask, and how would you frame them to be sensitive to the patient\ufffds background, lifestyle, and culture? Develop five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.<br \/>\n\ufffd Think about the challenges associated with communicating with patients from a variety of specific populations. What strategies can you as a nurse employ to be sensitive to different cultural factors while gathering the pertinent information?<br \/>\nPost an explanation of the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors associated with the patient you were assigned.<\/p>\n<p>Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why.<\/p>\n<p>Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: THIS IS THE LINK TO DOWNLOAD THE BOOK<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diversity and Health Assessments May 2012, Alice Randall wrote an article for The New York Times on the cultural factors that encouraged black women to maintain a weight above what is considered healthy.
