TJ is a 32-year-old pregnant lesbian patient. The nurse practitioner must provide culturally competent care that respects TJ's identity and values. This includes asking detailed health questions without appearing judgmental and ensuring TJ feels comfortable opening up without fear of discrimination. Some targeted questions posed to TJ could make assumptions or stereotype her based on her sexual orientation. The nurse practitioner should establish rapport to build trust and tailor a treatment plan based on TJ's individual circumstances and background.

History Taking and Risk Assessment
Developing an appropriate rapport is necessary when evaluating patient’s health needs as well as their risk assessment for the development of various debilitating conditions. An effective patient-practitioner rapport has been linked to improved patient health-care outcomes. A health care professional should have the intellectual capacity to internalize their patient’s feelings and emotional concerns aiming at maintaining the appropriate respect for their individual patients. In the case scenario provided, the patient is a 26-year-old Lebanese female living in a graduate-student housing requiring a health risk assessment. The initial step that should be taken by the health care professional is to introduce themselves to the patient to eliminate any possible ambiguity about their current care giver. The next step is to commence a rapport while making sure to maintain sociocultural sensitivity for extraction of precise and optimal details that will promote the formulation of an appropriate treatment plan for the patient. Use of open-ended questions is integral when obtaining a thorough history as it avoids omission and clinician-based bias (Tanwani, 2016). Empathy is exercised during practice as it allows the patient to feel understood and facilitates promotion of an effective patient-clinician rapport. Listening is a communication skill commonly overlooked but has a crucial role when attempting to narrow in on a diagnosis following an elaborate history of presenting illness.
Health Risk Assessment Instrument of Choice
The patient is a 26-year-old student living in the graduate-student housing. She is currently of child bearing age and is prone to contracting sexually transmitted diseases. This evokes the need for a Sexually transmitted disease (STD) risk assessment which involves diseases such as Human immunodeficiency virus infections among other STDs. Obtaining a sexual history from patients can at times seem challenging but should be carried out thoroughly with empathy and a non-judgmental attitude. Patient-practitioner confidentiality should also be assured for comfort and ease of assessment (Barrow, Ahmed, Bolan & Workowski, 2020). Women of child bearing age that are engaged in sexual intercourse should be frequently screened for STDs via history taking and physical examination. Moreover, culture and socioeconomic status play a major role in STD acquisition predisposition as various individuals have different practices as well as beliefs.
Targeted Questions
Specific sexual history questions should be asked in reference to the patient’s health assessment. The frequency and modes of sexual pleasure should be documented alongside the number of sexual partners involved with the patient. Multiple sexual partners are highly associated with a higher risk of STD acquisition. In addition, multiple sexual practices can greatly increase the risk of developing.

Review the Healthy People 2020 objectives for the older adult. Of the objectives listed for the older adult, which do you feel is most important? Be sure to include examples and references to support your response.
Objective: Increase the proportion of older adults with one or more chronic health conditions who report confidence in managing their conditions
(Healthy People 2020).
Chronic conditions may be difficult to manage based on the complexities of a disease. Additionally, managing one or more chronic conditions may be time consuming. Time consuming tasks may take the form of monitoring (e.g. checking blood glucose), keeping a diary, scheduling appointments, sorting and taking medications, exercising, meal planning, etc.. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2015) suggests the burden of these tasks significantly impact how patients manage their chronic conditions, and that patients often find it difficult to complete all these tasks in order to manage their condition effectively. Personally, I see examples of this every day at the hospital: Patients are not confident in their self-management ability and are therefore unable to demonstrate skill or awareness in regards to their condition. Despite receiving adequate medical attention from outstanding multidisciplinary teams, patients continue to show little interest in self-management, ultimately resulting in an overwhelming number of older adults who lack the confidence to manage one or more chronic conditions (Bodenheimer, 2005). Healthcare providers are being forced to seek new and innovative ways to connect with patients and reinforce educational material in order to give patients the confidence and skill to manage their care. I believe this objective to be most important because self-management is clinically proven to result in better outcomes. It is proven that support for patients and caregivers improve confidence in managing conditions. Recently, my hospital has added to its emphasis on education and follow up... Simply providing information to patients is not enough to build confidence, skill, nor the knowledge to manage their health. Therefore, nursing must collaborate to reinforce behaviors and promote better health outcomes in patients.
There are several vulnerable populations that have a chronic illness (older; homeless; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender populations) that face challenges when it comes to care. Choose one vulnerable population and discuss what can be done to help alleviate these challenges.
Based on recent events that have transpired in the news, one might acknowledge that refugees and immigrants are a vulnerable population... many of whom are struggling with chronic illness, and undeniably experiencing challenges related to our healthcare delivery system. Several barriers exist for this group, including language and technology barriers, expectations of medical care, cultural differences, as well as unique ...

Response Post #1Culture is defined as customary beliefs, soc.docxwilfredoa1
Response Post #1
Culture is defined as customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group (Webster, 2019). Competence suggests having the capacity to function effectively as an individual and an organization within the context of cultural beliefs, behaviors, and needs presented by consumers and their communities (CDC, 2015). In healthcare, it is very important to be aware of different culture backgrounds. It helps with not only being able to communicate effectively but also knowing what diseases, sickness, etc. that the person is at greatest risk for. For example, in the treatment of depression, compared with white Americans, black and Latino patients are actually less likely to receive treatment (Ball et al., 2019).
The patient I was given is a 14 year old biracial male living with his grandmother in a high-density public housing complex. For the purpose of obtain a health history with this particular patient it is important to consider everything about this patient. The patients age, sex, ethnicity, living conditions, etc. will all need to be taken into account. This particular age group are reluctant to talk and have a definite need for confidentiality (Ball et al., 2019). It is important that adolescent patients be given the opportunity to speak to you privately about concerns or issues that they may have (Ball et al., 2019). It is meaningful that you let the patient know the limits of confidentiality and that if any information provided suggests that an adolescence safety or others safety may be at risk, that its grounds to “break” confidentiality (Ball et al., 2019). Prior to the office visit, there a previsit questionnaires and screeners that the patient can fill out and this sometimes helps allow the patient to write down concerns or have a choice of concerns (Ball et al., 2019). Then based off the answers, it can help you ask appropriate questions during the interviewing process.
Based off of the patients age, ethnicity, and living conditions I would use the HEEADSSS screening tool. This screening tool assess the home environment, education/employment, eating, activities, drugs, sexuality, suicide/depression, and safety from injury and violence (Ball et al., 2019). Questions that can be asked needs to be open ended questions such as …
Tell me about where you live?
How are you liking school?
What do you like to do, any activities in school or out of school?
Do you ever hang out with your friends outside of school? What do you like to do? Are you ever in situations that make you uncomfortable? Have you ever tried drugs or alcohol?
In order to assess for suicide/depression, there are screening tools. The screening questions may include asking about sleep disorders, appetite/eating behavior change, feelings of “boredom”, emotional outbursts and highly impulsive behavior, hopeless/helpless feeling, history of family with depression or suicide, suicidal ideation, history of psychosocial/em.

Developing long-term searching for just the right psychiatrist can be hectic. However, with a perfect resume, it is easy to capture the attention of both your employer and clients. The above resume is well written and organized. As such it might have impacted the patients’ initial call. First and foremost specific patient characteristics might have impacted the patient’s initial call. The patient is a middle-aged woman who might have succinctly viewed me as a mental health profession with unique skills. Besides she is a middle-class citizen who possibly value services. The contact information properly placed portraying professionalism. The resume has detailed but rather succinct skills which might have triggered the patient’s initial call.
Throughout my career, I have observed that most people can tolerate a certain amount of emotional or physical discomfort before seeking help for a problem. Nevertheless, it is adamant to understand that different people have varying levels of tolerance. Eventually, an ...

Discussion
Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients’ health risks.
For this Discussion, you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for a particular new patient assigned by your Instructor.
To prepare:
With the information presented in Chapter 1 of Ball et al. in mind, consider the following:
By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion.
Note
: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your new patient profile assignment.
How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?
How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s social determinants of health?
What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks?
Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.
Select
one
of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the
Seidel's Guide to Physical Examination
text, or another tool with which you are familiar, related to your selected patient.
Develop
at least five
targeted questions you would ask your selected patient to assess his or her health risks and begin building a health history.

Health inequity is a serious healthcare problem that negatively affects everyone. This problem worsens the health outcomes of the population it directly impacts and those with resources and power. For instance, health disparity makes it hard to control, contain and treat infections illnesses, like the Covid-19, therefore putting everyone at risk of contracting the disease regardless of their socioeconomic class. Culture plays a critical role in patient care and health outcomes and affects our perception of others, health behaviors, and expectations during care delivery. This paper discusses health inequalities, advocacy for families, patients, and community, and cultural competencies. Comment by lola siyanbola: Can you explain how?
Health inequalities involve differences in health resources' distribution of health between different population groups resulting from social conditions in which members of the population are born, live, grow, work and age. The inequalities are basically the systematic differences in the status of health between population groups (Marmot, 2017). The inequalities have substantial economic and social costs to both persons and communities. Social factors including employment status, education level, gender, ethnicity, and level of income affect an individual's health status, therefore creating health disparities among populations due to variations of the social factors (Malbon, 2019). Lower socioeconomic status is associated with poor health outcomes. The appropriate combination of government policies can address these health disparities. Comment by lola siyanbola: This is a fact can you rephrase or cite Comment by lola siyanbola: This is too vague, can you elaborate a little?
I would advocate for patients by connecting them with resources outside and inside the hospital to support their wellbeing and double-check for errors to identify, stop, and correct errors to ensure their safety (Doucette et al., 2018). I would educate the patients on the best way to manage their health conditions and improve their quality of life. Protecting patients' rights and giving them a voice, particularly when vulnerable, is key to safe and quality patient care. I would advocate for families by utilizing my expertise to persuade the hospital authorities about the economic position of the family, their educational level, and their cultural values about patient care. I would advocate for the community by working to ensure community members are adequately and fairly treated in all matters of health.

This research problem meets the litmus test because it is researchable and has not yet been studied comprehensively. It is an essential issue with potential implications for policy and justice. The research gap in this topic is that no existing research looks explicitly into the psychological effects of the death penalty in Texas. To better reveal this gap, further research can be conducted better to understand the psychological impacts of the death penalty. This research could include qualitative interviews with those affected by the death penalty in Texas, such as family members of those on death row, legal professionals, and mental health professionals (Paul & Criado, 2020).
In order to expertly respond to the qualitative checklist for Chapters 1 through 3, I will need to master a range of skills and subject matter areas. Most importantly, I will need to understand the research topic in depth, including the relevant literature, current debates, and potential implications. Additionally, I will need to become proficient in qualitative methods, such as conducting interviews, analyzing data, and writing results. Furthermore, I will need to thoroughly understand the research process, including creating a research question, developing a research design, and presenting the results (Paul & Criado, 2020).
To build upon the research conducted thus far, a research question I could develop throughout the rest of this course is: What are the psychological effects of the death penalty in Texas on those affected by it? This question could be explored through qualitative interviews with those affected by the death penalty in Texas. This could include the family members of those on death row, legal and mental health professionals. Through these interviews, I could gain insight into the psychological effects of the death penalty in Texas and how it has impacted those involved. This research could help inform better policies and practices related to the death penalty in Texas (Paul & Criado, 2020).

Developing long-term searching for just the right psychiatrist can be hectic. However, with a perfect resume, it is easy to capture the attention of both your employer and clients. The above resume is well written and organized. As such it might have impacted the patients’ initial call. First and foremost specific patient characteristics might have impacted the patient’s initial call. The patient is a middle-aged woman who might have succinctly viewed me as a mental health profession with unique skills. Besides she is a middle-class citizen who possibly value services. The contact information properly placed portraying professionalism. The resume has detailed but rather succinct skills which might have triggered the patient’s initial call.
Throughout my career, I have observed that most people can tolerate a certain amount of emotional or physical discomfort before seeking help for a problem. Nevertheless, it is adamant to understand that different people have varying levels of tolerance. Eventually, an ...

Discussion
Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients’ health risks.
For this Discussion, you will take on the role of a clinician who is building a health history for a particular new patient assigned by your Instructor.
To prepare:
With the information presented in Chapter 1 of Ball et al. in mind, consider the following:
By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a new patient profile by your Instructor for this Discussion.
Note
: Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your new patient profile assignment.
How would your communication and interview techniques for building a health history differ with each patient?
How might you target your questions for building a health history based on the patient’s social determinants of health?
What risk assessment instruments would be appropriate to use with each patient, or what questions would you ask each patient to assess his or her health risks?
Identify any potential health-related risks based upon the patient’s age, gender, ethnicity, or environmental setting that should be taken into consideration.
Select
one
of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the
Seidel's Guide to Physical Examination

Health inequity is a serious healthcare problem that negatively affects everyone. This problem worsens the health outcomes of the population it directly impacts and those with resources and power. For instance, health disparity makes it hard to control, contain and treat infections illnesses, like the Covid-19, therefore putting everyone at risk of contracting the disease regardless of their socioeconomic class. Culture plays a critical role in patient care and health outcomes and affects our perception of others, health behaviors, and expectations during care delivery. This paper discusses health inequalities, advocacy for families, patients, and community, and cultural competencies. Comment by lola siyanbola: Can you explain how?
Health inequalities involve differences in health resources' distribution of health between different population groups resulting from social conditions in which members of the population are born, live, grow, work and age. The inequalities are basically the systematic differences in the status of health between population groups (Marmot, 2017). The inequalities have substantial economic and social costs to both persons and communities. Social factors including employment status, education level, gender, ethnicity, and level of income affect an individual's health status, therefore creating health disparities among populations due to variations of the social factors (Malbon, 2019). Lower socioeconomic status is associated with poor health outcomes. The appropriate combination of government policies can address these health disparities. Comment by lola siyanbola: This is a fact can you rephrase or cite Comment by lola siyanbola: This is too vague, can you elaborate a little?
I would advocate for patients by connecting them with resources outside and inside the hospital to support their wellbeing and double-check for errors to identify, stop, and correct errors to ensure their safety (Doucette et al., 2018). I would educate the patients on the best way to manage their health conditions and improve their quality of life. Protecting patients' rights and giving them a voice, particularly when vulnerable, is key to safe and quality patient care. I would advocate for families by utilizing my expertise to persuade the hospital authorities about the economic position of the family, their educational level, and their cultural values about patient care. I would advocate for the community by working to ensure community members are adequately and fairly treated in all matters of health.

This research problem meets the litmus test because it is researchable and has not yet been studied comprehensively. It is an essential issue with potential implications for policy and justice. The research gap in this topic is that no existing research looks explicitly into the psychological effects of the death penalty in Texas. To better reveal this gap, further research can be conducted better to understand the psychological impacts of the death penalty. This research could include qualitative interviews with those affected by the death penalty in Texas, such as family members of those on death row, legal professionals, and mental health professionals (Paul & Criado, 2020).
In order to expertly respond to the qualitative checklist for Chapters 1 through 3, I will need to master a range of skills and subject matter areas. Most importantly, I will need to understand the research topic in depth, including the relevant literature, current debates, and potential implications. Additionally, I will need to become proficient in qualitative methods, such as conducting interviews, analyzing data, and writing results. Furthermore, I will need to thoroughly understand the research process, including creating a research question, developing a research design, and presenting the results (Paul & Criado, 2020).
To build upon the research conducted thus far, a research question I could develop throughout the rest of this course is: What are the psychological effects of the death penalty in Texas on those affected by it? This question could be explored through qualitative interviews with those affected by the death penalty in Texas. This could include the family members of those on death row, legal and mental health professionals. Through these interviews, I could gain insight into the psychological effects of the death penalty in Texas and how it has impacted those involved. This research could help inform better policies and practices related to the death penalty in Texas (Paul & Criado, 2020).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

to:Delphine SHello Dr. O and Class,TJ, a 32-year-old pregnant lesbianCultural competence
means that healthcare providers and institutions must respect the identities and practices
of their patients in order to give them proper care. The patient’s and their family’s values,
beliefs, culture, language, and socioeconomic status are all considered. Care that is both
culturally appropriate and focused on the patient’s needs has many things in common. For
example, it means giving care that respects and responds to each patient’s preferences,
needs, and values and ensuring that all clinical decisions are based on these values. Patient-
centeredness and cultural competence are needed to improve healthcare quality (Stubbe,
2020). When a nurse practitioner assesses a pregnant lesbian patient, she must consider the
woman’s values, sexual orientation, and other things that might affect her healthcare
decisions.When assessing this patient, the nurse practitioner/provider should have an open
mind, be considerate, and not be judgmental or discriminative. Instead of using cultural
knowledge as a foundation for making assumptions about the patient, it should guide in a
more productive questioning that avoids stereotyping (Ball et al., 2019). T.J. is a lesbian
easily discriminated against and judged for being pregnant. The provider is responsible for
making her feel comfortable and accepted so that she can open up and answer questions
without fear of stereotyping or being discriminated against. During the health assessment,
questions should be tailored to focus on her health and the well-being of the growing fetus.
The health assessment questions must be detailed without appearing judgmental or biased.
Being a lesbian does not negatively impact one’s health in and of itself, even though there
are physiological differences between lesbians and heterosexual women. However, lesbians
tend to engage in high-risk behaviors that can affect their access to healthcare and quality of
life (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2018). As a nurse practitioner,
2. however, I have to determine whether or not the patient is engaging in any activities that
pose a danger to her unborn child or her pregnancy. Instead of making assumptions,
medical professionals can consider the patient’s cultural background and unique
circumstances when formulating a treatment plan.In order to create a treatment strategy
tailored to each patient’s specific needs, it is crucial to collect detailed information about the
patient’s background and current condition through a thorough history and physical
examination. The nurse practitioner and patient must establish a good rapport (Ball et al.,
2019). The nurse practitioner’s outward presentation should always be of respect, realism,
and pursuing patient-centered goals. As a nurse practitioner, I am responsible for adapting
to TJ’s unique situation to establish a rapport with her that will foster mutual trust between
us. Building trust will assist us in setting free of criticism.Potential Health Related
RiskWomen who are part of the LGBTQ community have always had to deal with many
problems regarding their health care, including but not limited to problems that affect their
privacy and confidentiality. Discriminatory attitudes and treatment from healthcare
workers, lack of access to health care and health insurance, and misunderstanding of health
risks (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2019). Many women who
identify as LGBTQ have had to deal with prejudice and ostracism for decades. Because of the
Affordable Care Act and other recent changes, many LGBTQ people can now get health
insurance. They are legally recognized at the federal and state levels. However, these
discriminatory practices have persisted for decades, stigmatizing the target population. My
duty as a Nurse Practitioner is to ask her questions about her health insurance, plans for
postpartum care, her current relationship status to ensure emotional support, and her
financial situation.Individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT)
often report receiving poor care and a high level of discrimination from medical
professionals, leading them to avoid medical attention altogether (Nama et al., 2017). I will
also inquire about her mental health by asking if she is depressed if her family has a history
of mental illness, and if she has engaged in any risky behaviors related to her mental health
or the pregnancy. Patients should be evaluated for signs of abuse or self-neglect because
domestic violence, discrimination, and abuse are prevalent in this group, further with
pregnancy which may pull more attention. Also, the patient must be checked to see if she is
taking illegal or dangerous drugs due to the detrimental effects on the growing fetus.Legal
issues could also arise during and after childbirth in the areas of but not limited to, legal
questions such as who should be listed on the birth certificate as the “legal parents.” The
legal names of the child. For some LGBTQ parents, the question of who should have parental
rights can come up and should be discussed with social services. (Pharris, 2018). The nurse
practitioner can refer TJ to social services if need be. TJ needs the same care as any other
pregnant woman. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate her diabetes history, her reaction to
the news of her pregnancy, her family’s medical history, and her medical history to
determine potential health risks to her and her unborn child. Because diabetes runs in TJ’s
family, there is a high probability that she could get gestational diabetes, causing
complications of pregnancy/ birth like Fetal macrosomia (overweight baby).Targeted
QuestionDo you feel safe in your environment?How often are you seeing an obstetrician.?Do
you have sex with men, women, or both?Do you smoke, drink, or use the recreational
3. drug?The symptoms you are describing, are they new or worsening? Moreover, have you
had the symptoms before?What is your current job and income?Can you describe to me
your daily activities, sleep, and diet?Are you taking any over-the-county medications?What
are your expectations from your healthcare provider and my team?Are there any areas of
concern you and your partner would like to discuss?Challenges associated with the
communicationSome challenges include but are not limited to language barriers, beliefs,
cultures, clothing, diet, and sexuality. For the nurse practitioner, their personal beliefs
sometimes may prevent them from accepting or providing competent care to others. For
example, the catholic church does not accept the LGBT community; they believe it is sinful
(Houghton & Tasker, 2019)To be culturally competent, one must do more than merely
accept the cultural norms and customs of others. Instead of focusing on erasing differences,
it seeks to highlight them through the power of connection and individualized care.
Providing culturally competent care requires nurses to adopt a worldview encompassing all
peoples and communities. As a nurse, it is your responsibility to do your best to treat
patients with dignity regardless of their cultural background. It has significant effects on
your efficiency and output. You are accepting everyone without being judgmental or
discriminating and implementing the conduct of your profession across the board, being
empathetic, listening, understanding, and communicating effectively. No matter your best,
some patients will still not feel satisfied. Always ask questions and do your best to meet
their expectations. Seek and provide social services to the patient, including case
management.References:American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Guidelines
