This document discusses several key concepts related to providing culturally competent care to older adults:
- The older adult population in the US is becoming more diverse, so nurses must advance their cultural competence.
- It is important for nurses to gain awareness of their own cultural beliefs and increase their knowledge of other cultures.
- Several models are presented that can help nurses understand patients' cultural beliefs about health and provide culturally appropriate care, such as Leininger's Theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality.
Critical illness insurance is a source of funds you can use to help cover the indirect costs that arise when a
serious illness strikes. By providing money when you need it most, upon diagnosis of a serious illness (as
defined in the policy), critical illness insurance can help relieve worry about your finances so that you can focus
on getting well.
Critical illness insurance pays you a lump sum of money upon diagnosis of a covered condition. This money is
yours to use for any purpose, with no restrictions. For example, critical illness insurance proceeds can be used
to pay:
* Mortgage or rent payments, as well as any other bills you may have;
* Health insurance deductibles, coinsurance and/or co-payments;
* The costs of receiving out-of-network medical treatment, including possible travel and lodging expenses;
* Treatments not covered by traditional health insurance;
* Child care expenses during treatment or hospitalization;
* Modifications to your home or vehicle; and/or
* Shorter-term home health care.
Since the premiums paid for critical illness insurance are not tax deductible, the benefits are not considered as
income and are received 100% free of income tax.

Conference Of Churches Universal Health Care Presentation 1Adam Nicholson
The document discusses the need for universal healthcare access in Connecticut. It notes that the number of uninsured residents is rising as costs increase, putting healthcare out of reach for many. While taxpayers already pay for a large portion of healthcare costs, the system remains unsustainable without covering all residents. The document advocates for a universal healthcare system that would improve health outcomes and reduce costs by emphasizing preventative care for all.
This document provides an overview and review of critical illness insurance. It discusses how critical illnesses like cancer and heart disease can impact finances through lost income and medical costs. It then outlines sources of funds people may have like health insurance, disability insurance, and savings, but notes their limitations. The document proposes critical illness insurance as a potential solution, explaining that it pays a lump sum that can be used flexibly upon diagnosis of a covered critical illness. This allows focusing on treatment instead of finances. The document also clarifies what critical illness insurance is not, such as health care insurance.
The document provides information about long term care, its costs, and the benefits of planning for long term care needs through insurance. It defines long term care as services to assist with daily living for an extended period of time. Most people will need some form of long term care as they age. The costs of care can be substantial and deplete savings. Long term care insurance helps cover the costs and provides financial protection and peace of mind.
1. Long term care insurance pays for long term care services such as help with daily activities like eating, bathing, and dressing. It can cover care at home or in facilities like nursing homes.
2. Some key things to know before buying long term care insurance are getting the right amount of coverage, choosing a company unlikely to raise premiums, understanding rejection doesn't mean you can never get coverage, and getting advice from a specialist.
3. Long term care is an important issue for women as they are often caregivers, live longer, and make up a large portion of nursing home residents.
The document discusses the importance of disability income planning and insurance. It notes that most people do not realize how much income they are expected to earn over their careers. It then highlights the risks of disability and average durations. The rest of the document provides examples of sources of funds during a disability, and suggests that disability income insurance can help replace income and maintain lifestyle. It includes a checklist for evaluating disability income policy features and benefits. The final pages provide a disability income action plan.

YOU MUST BE KIDDING, RIGHT?
Amber Parker is a 46-year-old unmarried mother with two children, ages 16 and 17. She lives partly on alimony from her former husband and she works part-time out of her home as a medical transcriptionist for a local hospital. Last year Amber suffered severe head injuries in a hit-and-run accident when jogging. Amber's wounds have healed and she has regained her ability to speak but is not yet able to walk on her own or use her hands and arms very well. At first she required some mental health counseling. Now she still requires a daily paid caregiver to assist with her personal needs. It may be another six months before she can work again. Which one of the following aspects of her injury were covered by Amber's private health care plan?
A. Hospital stay
B. Rehabilitative care
C. Mental health
D. All of the above
The answer is “all of the above.” Amber had purchased an individual health care policy at HealthCare.gov that covers hospital, surgical, mental health, and rehabilitative care, therefore, after deductibles and copays the Affordable Care Act covered all her expenses. Individuals without health insurance can buy a health care policy on a state or federal exchange!

Banks who pay attention to these critical customer segments will not only preserve their customer base but will see a substantial increase in attractive new depositors resulting in improved profitability.
The document discusses long-term care planning and insurance. It notes that about half of people will need long-term care services, which can cost $50,000-$100,000 per year. However, traditional health insurance like Medicare does not cover long-term custodial care. Purchasing long-term care insurance can help cover these costs and close a gap in many retirement plans.

This document discusses the importance of life and disability insurance. It begins by noting that many employees are underinsured or lack insurance, leaving them vulnerable if the primary wage earner dies or becomes disabled. Specifically, only around half of workers have short or long-term disability coverage, and 41% of adults lack any life insurance. It then examines reasons for this, such as financial priorities, lack of knowledge, and procrastination. The document emphasizes that disability is more common than most people assume, with a 33% chance of a 6-month disability, and that disabilities usually stem from common illnesses not covered by workers' compensation. Finally, it notes the high financial toll of disabilities, with costs potentially totaling around $1 million
Universal health care has been debated for decades in the United States, as millions of Americans lack health insurance coverage due to high costs. Those with lower incomes working in service jobs deserve healthcare access to live comfortably. Families can also lose coverage if a spouse loses their job. There should be options for those who can no longer afford insurance due to financial problems. The United States is the only wealthy nation without universal healthcare, and around 47 million Americans were uninsured in 2006 primarily due to high costs.

The document discusses various strategies and risks involved in retirement planning. It covers non-financial factors to consider in planning, such as career and family goals. It also discusses reviewing resources and expenses, risks of early retirement like boredom and health issues, and legacy planning considerations. Health care risks include issues affording coverage before Medicare eligibility and potential long-term care costs. Overall, the document provides an overview of key aspects to address in developing a retirement plan.
The document provides an overview of the United States healthcare system, which includes both public and private initiatives. It describes the two primary public programs, Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare provides health insurance for those aged 65 and older, while Medicaid is for low-income individuals. The document also provides guidance on selecting insurance based on residency status, employment, health needs, and family size. It outlines how to apply for insurance through employers, open markets, or state/local programs. Tips are provided on obtaining coverage and understanding benefits and responsibilities.
The document discusses social safety nets and welfare programs. It describes social safety nets as non-contributory transfer programs that seek to prevent the poor from falling below a certain poverty level through programs like cash transfers, food assistance, healthcare subsidies, and public works. Social welfare in developed countries provides a minimum level of well-being through government aid and other groups. The US did not have social programs until the New Deal established Social Security and limited child labor. Social Security now keeps 40% of elderly out of poverty and includes retirement, disability, and survivor benefits.
This document compares the healthcare systems of Australia and the United States. In the US, 49% of coverage comes from employers, while 16% of Americans are uninsured. Australia provides universal healthcare coverage through Medicare. While both countries face rising costs due to aging populations, Australia spends half the percentage of GDP on healthcare as the US and has no uninsured citizens.

This document provides information about planning and paying for health care needs in retirement. It discusses the rising costs of health care and long-term care services. Some key points include: a couple retiring at 65 will need about $240,000 on average to cover medical costs throughout retirement; 1/3 of people turning 65 will need at least 3 months of nursing home care; and the average daily rate for a private nursing home room in 2012 was $248. The document also summarizes different long-term care options like nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home health care services.

Medicare provides health insurance for those aged 65 and older, while Medicaid is for low-income individuals. The document also provides guidance on selecting insurance based on residency status, employment, health needs, and family size. It outlines how to apply for insurance through employers, open markets, or state/local programs. Tips are provided on obtaining coverage and understanding benefits and responsibilities.
The document discusses social safety nets and welfare programs. It describes social safety nets as non-contributory transfer programs that seek to prevent the poor from falling below a certain poverty level through programs like cash transfers, food assistance, healthcare subsidies, and public works. Social welfare in developed countries provides a minimum level of well-being through government aid and other groups. The US did not have social programs until the New Deal established Social Security and limited child labor. Social Security now keeps 40% of elderly out of poverty and includes retirement, disability, and survivor benefits.
This document compares the healthcare systems of Australia and the United States. In the US, 49% of coverage comes from employers, while 16% of Americans are uninsured. Australia provides universal healthcare coverage through Medicare. While both countries face rising costs due to aging populations, Australia spends half the percentage of GDP on healthcare as the US and has no uninsured citizens.

This document provides information about planning and paying for health care needs in retirement. It discusses the rising costs of health care and long-term care services. Some key points include: a couple retiring at 65 will need about $240,000 on average to cover medical costs throughout retirement; 1/3 of people turning 65 will need at least 3 months of nursing home care; and the average daily rate for a private nursing home room in 2012 was $248. The document also summarizes different long-term care options like nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and home health care services.

Follow the directions below for the completion of the Annotated Bibliography assignment for Unit II.
Purpose: The purpose of the annotated bibliography is to summarize the sources that you have gathered to support your research proposal project. These summaries help you to think about the complex arguments presented in your sources. Description: In this assignment, you will create an annotated bibliography consisting of seven sources. Each entry will consist of a reference list citation, a summary of the source’s information, and a one-sentence assessment. Each annotation should be between 150 to 200 words. If an entry is shorter than 150 words, it is likely you have not fully developed your summary, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment.

My hypothesis Being disconnected from social media (texting, Facebo.docxJinElias52
My hypothesis: Being disconnected from social media (texting, Facebook, cell phone use, etc) causes stress in teenagers.
It is my belief partly based on observation (I teach HS students) that we have created a society where even the slightest communication is cause for a teenager’s engagement with his/her electronic device. Being constantly connected to others, or at least knowing that is an option appears to give them some peace of mind and perhaps helps them feel less alone. This worries me because I fear they will be unable to engage in experiences on their own without that constant connection to others. This behavior doesn’t allow for self-reflection, meditation, or other important moments designed to focus the attention inward. In other words, a fear of being alone. On the other hand, teenagers can reach out to others as never before, which is great in many cases.
I would choose the Experimental Research method for the following experiment, being careful to adhere to its two components: 1) that there is a random assignment of participants. I would stress that this should be a double-blind experiment so I do not influence its outcome; and 2) a manipulation of an independent variable.
My experiment: After taking a base level of stress indicators (heart rate, blood pressure, brain waves, perspiration levels, etc) I would randomly assign two separate groups of HS students to spend 2 days camping in the wilderness. I would set up several exciting events to take place such as river rafting, hunting, building a shelter for the night, etc. One group would have their cell phones with them (assuming there is a cell phone connection in this remote area), the second group would not. The first group could contact whomever they chose during the events and during a down time say, at night. The second group would not have cell phones to be able to do this. I would somehow monitor both group’s stress levels while out in the wilderness.
Summary: Because I would want to avoid the Correlation/Causation Fallacy, I would need to not know which students were which in this experiment. And I foresee some challenges that might not be avoidable and might skew this idea. There could be variables such as a student who is naturally highly stressed in the wilderness and his anxiety could spike giving my experiment the expected result but for the wrong reason. Not to mention the difficulty of setting up this experiment in the first place.
Personal note: Thinking about this idea has caused me to think in a more scientific way about the results of all experiments I learn about. The Correlation/Causation issue is one I fall victim to a lot. I like to think that I am an objective observer, but so far in this course, I am not so sure of that anymore. At the same time that I hate to have my thinking challenged in this way, I also feel excited that I am thinking on a deeper level than I ever have.
How would you select the groups at random? Would you use a number system? Perha.
