Manipulation Scenario
Patricia Wilkes works as a correctional officer at Corcoran California state prison. Corcoran is a high security institution that houses some of the most violent male offenders. Patricia has worked at the institution for four years and has encountered two attacks against her from two separate inmates over a year span. Patricia is freshly returned back to work after being off for a week due to her injuries from her latest attack. The attack involved her being pushed down by an inmate, causing a sprain arm. Feeling vulnerable Patricia became friends with an inmate who witnessed the attack and promised to issue protection if she sneaks in contraband for him. She is conflicted but, because she is afraid; she agrees to do it.

Wellness and Health
Wellness refers to the state of being in good health. Wellness is essential for one to work effectively so that the set goals are met. For the goals to be realized, all the seven areas of health are important because they are connected. The first area of health is education. Education is one of the indicators of life outcomes, for instance, social status, employment, and income and can also be used to predict wellbeing and attitude (Anderson, 2015). Other people apply education as a tool that helps them in shaping their social identity and establishing an understanding of their environment. Education shapes the social identity on how people relate with each other in society. A positive social identity is characterized by positive results, such as increased health status, wellbeing, political engagement, and social trust. Currently, a lot of emphases has been placed on education, and therefore those with lower education find it much challenging to positively identify themselves socially hence negatively affecting their self-esteem and wellbeing (Anderson, 2015).
Individuals with higher education levels tend to develop much interest to vie for political positions than those with lower levels of education. These educated individuals also have got more social trust than their uneducated counterparts — several studies confirmed that there are a number of health benefits of education. Baum &Payea (2013) explains that a more educated person has a higher probability of getting a good job with health-promoting packages such as health insurance. On the other hand, those with low education have higher chances of doing risky jobs. Those individuals who are more educated are subjected to more earnings. A Population Survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor and the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2012 confirmed that college graduates registered twice as many average earnings than their colleagues who had dropped out of high school and one and a half higher than those who had graduated from high school (Baum &Payea, 2013).
The families that earn more income are in a position to buy healthy food, can get time to perform exercises and can afford to pay for health services and transport cost. Consequently, low level of education brings about job insecurity, poor pay and the vulnerability of these individuals and their families are much higher during hard times leading to poor housing, malnutrition, and inability to afford medical services. Individuals with higher education levels and therefore, have got higher incomes do not suffer from health-related stress that is attached to chronic social and economic hardships (Baum &Payea, 2013). The category of individuals with lower levels of education has limited resources such as social support, a feeling of control over life, and high self-esteem to counter the stress.
Education from school and outside school enables individuals to acquire skills and foster traits that they w ...

Week 2 Discussion 09-04-15
Case Study Analyses
A person’s health may be greatly impacted by his or her access to timely, appropriate care. Yet, in the United States, there are marked differences among the quality of services that are available and each individual’s use of those services. The cost of healthcare, for instance, can greatly influence a person’s decision to visit the doctor or fill a prescription. What other factors impact healthcare-related decisions? In this Discussion, you will read three case studies that illustrate dilemmas related to cost, quality, and access to healthcare, and consider the potential influence these can have on a person’s health, financial standing, and quality of life.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Read the Week 2 Discussion Case Studies.
· Select one case study on which to focus for this Discussion.
· Review the information presented in the Resources, including Chapter 12 in the Shi and Singh (2015) course text and the two resources you selected.
· Reflect on your selected case study and consider the following questions:
· Which barriers in the U.S. healthcare delivery system related to cost, quality, and/or access are evident in the case study?
· How could these barriers be addressed?
· How does the use of insurance influence concerns or decisions related to cost, quality, and/or access to care for the person in this case study?

CULTURAL COMPETENCY AND TREATMENT
Cultural Competency and Treatment of persons with mental illness
Alexis Lowe
Professor Patricia Coccoma
HUMN 6511- Treatment of Forensic Populations
June 16, 2019
Cultural Competency and Treatment of persons with mental illness
The culturally diverse forensic population that I chose to research is those who are mentally ill. This population is of particular interest to me because I have always wanted to work in agencies that do an intervention for members of this population and I have always felt that something should be done when I find helpless people on the streets who are mentally ill. Mentally ill persons can be described using characteristics which cut across the population but lean mostly to the side of those who have an extreme mental illness. Most of them experience financial distress, homelessness, lack of money to rent houses and dependence of social programs like social security. Others have violent behavior and remain dependent on mental services for a long time (Naylor et al., 2016). The mentally ill often commit small crimes and because of their health situation, they find themselves in difficult situations. According to Rickwood, 2006, mentally ill persons going through corrections procedures often suffer more psychological problems and this limits their chances of recovery.
The Unique Characteristics of Mentally Ill Patients
Rickwood explores the representation of the mentally ill in the criminal justice system. According to Rickwood, the mentally ill are over three times more represented in the criminal justice compared to the ordinary community and this is something of concern. In certain cultures, more persons who have a mental illness live in correction facilities compared to others. However, incarceration is seen to be a major cause of mental health problems due to some of the corrective measures that are employed. Depression among Hispanics is noted to be highest at slightly over 10%, followed by African Americans than Whites (Corin, 2017) Depression cuts across all age groups and genders in the recent past. According to Rickwood there is need to ensure that specialized and professional mental health services are provided in correctional facilities to ensure that the correction process does not negatively impact the victims. pre-release preparation and post-release follow-up are key areas that need a proper overhaul to ensure that the number of cases of relapse is reduced accordingly. Proper understanding of the cultural background of a patient is a major consideration in choosing treatment procedures and it ensures that the health service provider is cult rally aware of the implications of certain choices on certain groups of people. Cultural considerations affect beliefs about sickness, pain and where.

HCA 415 Week 3 Discussion ( Essential Services Personal Interview ) - A Graded - Quality Work - 100% Original - Plagiarism Free
I already have answer for the discussion but I need to continue with the same interview I had for the discussion and do the assignment. It can be 2-3 pages instead of 4. Can you submit it by tomarrow? It has to be based on the interview provided in discussion. Assignment instructions are also stated below.
Below is the Discussion
Essential Services Personal Interview
Select a population (maternal, infant, child, adolescent, young adults, older adults, elderly) and research the most critical health issues affecting this population.
Describe the most critical health issues affecting your selected population.
Describe at least three public health/community services that exist in your own community to address these issues.
Contact one of these services’ directors (or representative) and inquire about the agency’s effectiveness by asking these questions:
Do you feel your organization has made a difference?
What are your main barriers and how are the barriers to services being addressed?
What are the ethical considerations of your services and how are they addressed?
How is your organization funded?
What concerns are still unmet in your opinion? Are these areas that will be addressed in the future?
What role does your organization play in the overall public health arena?
Present a brief overview of the organization, including its mission and goals/objectives, and then post your interview notes in the discussion forum
Your original post must contain at least one additional scholarly source in addition to the textbook.
ANSWER 1
The issue that I chose for my critical health issue is family planning and teenage pregnancies. For years, it seemed that everywhere I turned there were young teenage girls that were pregnant surrounding me. Currently, “the U.S. still has a teen birthrate of 31.2 per 1,000 teens, nearly one-and-a-half times the rate in the United Kingdom, which has one of the highest rates in Western Europe (Vestal, 2015, para. 1). I believe that prevention programs are the best method to reduce the high teenage pregnancy rates. The World Health Organization stated that, “family planning is a method for helping people to have the desired number of children and for spacing births” (as cited in Friis, et al., 2013, 5.2, para. 2). Healthy People 2020 set their goal for family planning to improve the spacing and planning of pregnancy, but also to prevent unwanted pregnancies (Friis, et al., 2013).
Covenant House has on-site counselors who help teen moms work on building confidence and gain independence. Moms can attend their workshops that teach them various parenting skills and the importance for them and their children to live healthy lives. The Covenant House also provides on-site childcare so that these have the capability to comp.

My topic : Music Industry
This is the online paper that I found:
The American Health Care Industry is a very large social institution. The health care system is designed to adapt to the communities served (Schaefer, 2009), it is a formal organization structured for efficiency and a specific purpose. The three major sociological orientations are functionalist, conflict, and interactionist; we will discuss each perspective as it pertains to the health care industry. Each perspective has its strengths and weaknesses, from high function to discrimination through social class, to stability and lack of accessibility.
The functionalist perspective attempts to analyze the industry’s major tasks and how it maintains its survival. According to Schaefer (2009) the health care industry effectively replaces personnel, trains new recruits, provides an important service to its members and its community, preserves order through strict regulations and operating procedures, and maintains its purpose through motivation for social change and charitable characteristics. The functional perspective emphasizes the contribution the health care industry makes to our society’s overall stability. Health care provides basic protections against the spread of contagious diseases, maintains awareness of healthy practices, and contributes to the wellness of the community.
Conflict within the health care system can present as greed, economic influence, unavailability to specific groups, or prejudice privilege provided to insured patients. Medical care has become increasingly bureaucratic; many clinics and doctors’ offices are overwhelmed with paperwork and regulations which can prevent them effectively helping the ailing masses. Health insurance is used to supplement the outrageous cost of medical care and is out of reach to many United States residents. New data indicates 50.7 million Americans are without private health care insurance and the outlook is grim due to the erosion of the economy and employer-based insurance plans (Greenstein, 2010). Federal programs attempt to provide basic or restricted coverage to the one out of every six Americans stretching the systems already limited resources. These constraints leave the uninsured with few choices, less comprehensive care, long wait times, and increased frustration within poor communities.
The interactionalist would be interested in the effects of limited health care on a micro level. The specific communities most affected by health care coverage are the elderly, children, and people living below the poverty line. According to Schaefer (2009), interactionist theorist would emphasize that our social behavior is influenced by the social roles we accept. By accepting that health care is difficult to obtain or the system unfairly represents wealthier patrons, the lower classes of people resort to alternate means including local clinics, alternative medicine, internet applications such as WebMD and other community resource.

In 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.
Case 1
JC, an at-risk 86-year-old Asian male is physically and financially dependent on his daughter, a single mother who has little time or money for her father's health needs. He has a hx of hypertension (HTN), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), b12 deficiency, and chronic prostatitis. He currently takes Lisinopril 10mg QD, Prilosec 20mg QD, B12 injections monthly, and Cipro 100mg QD. He comes to you for an annual exam and states “I came for my annual physical exam, but do not want to be a burden to my daughter."
Case 2
TJ, a 32-year-old pregnant lesbian, is being seen for an annual physical exam and has been having vaginal discharge. Her pregnancy has been without complication thus far. She has been receiving prenatal care from an obstetrician. She received sperm from a local sperm bank. She is currently taking prenatal vitamins and takes Tylenol over the counter for aches and pains on occasion. She a strong family history of diabetes. Gravida 1; Para 0; Abortions 0.
Case 3
MR, a 23-year-old Native American male comes in to see you because he has been having anxiety and wants something to help him. He has been smoking "pot" and says he drinks to help him too. He tells you he is afraid that he will not get into Heaven if he continues in this lifestyle. He is not taking any prescriptions medications and denies drug use. He has a positive family history of diabetes, hypertension, and alcoholism.
To prepare:
· Reflect on your experiences as a nurse and on the information provided in this week’s Learning Resources on diversity issues in health assessments.
· Select
one
of the three case studies. Reflect on the provided patient information.

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.

Social Determinants of Health and Rural Nursing
Pamela Stewart Fahs, PhD, RN, Editor
Social determinants of health is a term defined by the Healthy People 2020 (Office of
Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, n.d., section Understanding) as “…conditions in the
environment in which people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship and age that affect a wide
range of health, functioning, and quality of life outcomes and risks”. In this definition “place”
matters, as does race/ethnicity, age, education, social support etc. – all of the factors that are part
of one’s socio-economic status. Thus being a rural dweller alone does not put your health at risk
but if you are a rural dweller with little social and economic resources you will have a higher risk
for ill health. You may need to use more resources to access health care than someone in a more
urban place, simply because of limited accessibility. For those living in a rural setting without
reliable transportation being able to access health care is more arduous than for those with access
to transportation as well as health care.
Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge on the history of nursing can connect the
profession and past efforts and successes in enhancing population health through work on the
social determinants of health. This work can be seen in urban areas by nurses such as Lillian
Wald at Henry House in New York and rural areas in the work of Mary Breckenridge and the
Frontier Nursing Service. In both cases nursing was caring for individuals and families but also
looking at the macro level problems of poverty, lack of formal education, poor housing, lack of
access to health care; all of which would be deemed today as improving the social determinants
of health. Since the 1920’s with the work of Wald and Breckinridge we have made inroads into
the health status of people in the US. In general we have better living situations for individuals

and families, more education and more wealth. However, the upward trajectory in health status
over the years is not carrying all and Healthy People 2020 (n.d.) promotes a place based
organizing framework that addresses five major determinants of health: a) Economic Stability, b)
Education, c) Social and Community Context, d) Health and Health Care, and e) Neighborhood
and Built Environment. Nursing has a clear role in providing health care beyond care of the
individual. Flynn (2016) writes that “…nursing may have more potential than other health
professions in bringing power and authority to the idea of.

Week 2 Discussion 09-04-15
Case Study Analyses
A person’s health may be greatly impacted by his or her access to timely, appropriate care. Yet, in the United States, there are marked differences among the quality of services that are available and each individual’s use of those services. The cost of healthcare, for instance, can greatly influence a person’s decision to visit the doctor or fill a prescription. What other factors impact healthcare-related decisions? In this Discussion, you will read three case studies that illustrate dilemmas related to cost, quality, and access to healthcare, and consider the potential influence these can have on a person’s health, financial standing, and quality of life.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Read the Week 2 Discussion Case Studies.
· Select one case study on which to focus for this Discussion.
· Review the information presented in the Resources, including Chapter 12 in the Shi and Singh (2015) course text and the two resources you selected.
· Reflect on your selected case study and consider the following questions:
· Which barriers in the U.S. healthcare delivery system related to cost, quality, and/or access are evident in the case study?
· How could these barriers be addressed?
· How does the use of insurance influence concerns or decisions related to cost, quality, and/or access to care for the person in this case study?

CULTURAL COMPETENCY AND TREATMENT
Cultural Competency and Treatment of persons with mental illness
Alexis Lowe
Professor Patricia Coccoma
HUMN 6511- Treatment of Forensic Populations
June 16, 2019
Cultural Competency and Treatment of persons with mental illness
The culturally diverse forensic population that I chose to research is those who are mentally ill. This population is of particular interest to me because I have always wanted to work in agencies that do an intervention for members of this population and I have always felt that something should be done when I find helpless people on the streets who are mentally ill. Mentally ill persons can be described using characteristics which cut across the population but lean mostly to the side of those who have an extreme mental illness. Most of them experience financial distress, homelessness, lack of money to rent houses and dependence of social programs like social security. Others have violent behavior and remain dependent on mental services for a long time (Naylor et al., 2016). The mentally ill often commit small crimes and because of their health situation, they find themselves in difficult situations. According to Rickwood, 2006, mentally ill persons going through corrections procedures often suffer more psychological problems and this limits their chances of recovery.
The Unique Characteristics of Mentally Ill Patients
Rickwood explores the representation of the mentally ill in the criminal justice system. According to Rickwood, the mentally ill are over three times more represented in the criminal justice compared to the ordinary community and this is something of concern. In certain cultures, more persons who have a mental illness live in correction facilities compared to others. However, incarceration is seen to be a major cause of mental health problems due to some of the corrective measures that are employed. Depression among Hispanics is noted to be highest at slightly over 10%, followed by African Americans than Whites (Corin, 2017) Depression cuts across all age groups and genders in the recent past. According to Rickwood there is need to ensure that specialized and professional mental health services are provided in correctional facilities to ensure that the correction process does not negatively impact the victims. pre-release preparation and post-release follow-up are key areas that need a proper overhaul to ensure that the number of cases of relapse is reduced accordingly. Proper understanding of the cultural background of a patient is a major consideration in choosing treatment procedures and it ensures that the health service provider is cult rally aware of the implications of certain choices on certain groups of people. Cultural considerations affect beliefs about sickness, pain and where.

I already have answer for the discussion but I need to continue with the same interview I had for the discussion and do the assignment. It can be 2-3 pages instead of 4. Can you submit it by tomarrow? It has to be based on the interview provided in discussion. Assignment instructions are also stated below.
Below is the Discussion
Essential Services Personal Interview
Select a population (maternal, infant, child, adolescent, young adults, older adults, elderly) and research the most critical health issues affecting this population.
Describe the most critical health issues affecting your selected population.
Describe at least three public health/community services that exist in your own community to address these issues.
Contact one of these services’ directors (or representative) and inquire about the agency’s effectiveness by asking these questions:
Do you feel your organization has made a difference?
What are your main barriers and how are the barriers to services being addressed?
What are the ethical considerations of your services and how are they addressed?
How is your organization funded?
What concerns are still unmet in your opinion? Are these areas that will be addressed in the future?
What role does your organization play in the overall public health arena?
Present a brief overview of the organization, including its mission and goals/objectives, and then post your interview notes in the discussion forum
Your original post must contain at least one additional scholarly source in addition to the textbook.
ANSWER 1
The issue that I chose for my critical health issue is family planning and teenage pregnancies. For years, it seemed that everywhere I turned there were young teenage girls that were pregnant surrounding me. Currently, “the U.S. still has a teen birthrate of 31.2 per 1,000 teens, nearly one-and-a-half times the rate in the United Kingdom, which has one of the highest rates in Western Europe (Vestal, 2015, para. 1). I believe that prevention programs are the best method to reduce the high teenage pregnancy rates. The World Health Organization stated that, “family planning is a method for helping people to have the desired number of children and for spacing births” (as cited in Friis, et al., 2013, 5.2, para. 2). Healthy People 2020 set their goal for family planning to improve the spacing and planning of pregnancy, but also to prevent unwanted pregnancies (Friis, et al., 2013).
Covenant House has on-site counselors who help teen moms work on building confidence and gain independence. Moms can attend their workshops that teach them various parenting skills and the importance for them and their children to live healthy lives. The Covenant House also provides on-site childcare so that these have the capability to comp.

My topic : Music Industry
This is the online paper that I found:
The American Health Care Industry is a very large social institution. The health care system is designed to adapt to the communities served (Schaefer, 2009), it is a formal organization structured for efficiency and a specific purpose. The three major sociological orientations are functionalist, conflict, and interactionist; we will discuss each perspective as it pertains to the health care industry. Each perspective has its strengths and weaknesses, from high function to discrimination through social class, to stability and lack of accessibility.
The functionalist perspective attempts to analyze the industry’s major tasks and how it maintains its survival. According to Schaefer (2009) the health care industry effectively replaces personnel, trains new recruits, provides an important service to its members and its community, preserves order through strict regulations and operating procedures, and maintains its purpose through motivation for social change and charitable characteristics. The functional perspective emphasizes the contribution the health care industry makes to our society’s overall stability. Health care provides basic protections against the spread of contagious diseases, maintains awareness of healthy practices, and contributes to the wellness of the community.
Conflict within the health care system can present as greed, economic influence, unavailability to specific groups, or prejudice privilege provided to insured patients. Medical care has become increasingly bureaucratic; many clinics and doctors’ offices are overwhelmed with paperwork and regulations which can prevent them effectively helping the ailing masses. Health insurance is used to supplement the outrageous cost of medical care and is out of reach to many United States residents. New data indicates 50.7 million Americans are without private health care insurance and the outlook is grim due to the erosion of the economy and employer-based insurance plans (Greenstein, 2010). Federal programs attempt to provide basic or restricted coverage to the one out of every six Americans stretching the systems already limited resources. These constraints leave the uninsured with few choices, less comprehensive care, long wait times, and increased frustration within poor communities.
The interactionalist would be interested in the effects of limited health care on a micro level. The specific communities most affected by health care coverage are the elderly, children, and people living below the poverty line. According to Schaefer (2009), interactionist theorist would emphasize that our social behavior is influenced by the social roles we accept. By accepting that health care is difficult to obtain or the system unfairly represents wealthier patrons, the lower classes of people resort to alternate means including local clinics, alternative medicine, internet applications such as WebMD and other community resource.

FinanceA major feature of the U.S. healthcare system is its fragmented nature, as different
people obtain healthcare through different means. The system has continued to undergo
periodic changes, mainly in response to concerns regarding cost, access, and quality. (Shi &
Singh, 2017, p. 2).Through this week’s introduction, resources, and concepts covered, you
have touched the surface of the complexity that characterizes the healthcare system. How
might your experiences interacting with the healthcare system inform your understanding
of health and the influence system components have on health outcomes?In this Discussion,
you will share and consider others’ experiences with the healthcare system and will reflect
on the implications individual experiences have on health, populations, and systems on a
larger scale.To prepare:Review this week’s resources and reflect on the complexity of health
systems and healthcare systems. Consider what questions you might have.Review the case
study profiles in this week’s resources.Think about a personal challenge you may have
experienced when interacting with the healthcare system.Consider potential solutions you
might recommend to address these challenges for healthcare delivery.BY DAY 3Post a
description of a time when you experienced a challenge with a health or healthcare system.
Then, compare your experience with one of the provided case study profiles. Answer the
following questions:How were your experiences similar and/or different?What advantages
or disadvantages are apparent in the experiences?How do these individual experiences
expose larger systemic issues in healthcare?What strategy might you recommend to
address the larger systemic issues you identified? Provide examples. Be sure to your
