Case study
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 over-the-counter Tylenol for aches and pains on occasion. She has a strong family history of diabetes. Gravida 1; Para 0; Abortions 0.
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. Randall explained—from her observations and her personal experience as a black woman—that 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, “Many black women are fat because we want to be” (Randall, 2012).
Randall’s 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.
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.
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.
Reflect on the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors related to the health of the patient assigned to you.
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’s 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.
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 pertinent information?
Post
a 3-4 page explanation of the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors associated with the patient you were assigned.
Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why.
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.

Abstract: This article endeavors to replace the sociology of professions with the more comprehensive and timely sociology of expertise. It suggests that we need to distinguish between experts and expertise as requiring two distinct modes of analysis that are not reducible to one another. It analyzes expertise as a network linking together agents, devices, concepts, and institutional and spatial arrangements. It also suggests rethinking how abstraction and power were analyzed in the sociology of professions. The utility of this approach is demonstrated by using it to explain the recent precipitous rise in autismdiagnoses. This article shows that autism remained a rare disorder until the deinstitutionalization of mental retardation created a new institutional matrix within which a new set of actors—the parents of children with autism in alliance with psychologists and therapists—were able to forge an alternative network of expertise.

WhyYouWon't Be the PersonYou
Expect to Be
11 JOHN TIERNEY
When we remember our past selves, they seem quite different. We know how much our
personalities and tastes have changed over the years. But when we look ahead, somehow we
expect ourselves to stay the same, a team of psychologists said Thursday, describing research
they conducted of people's self-perceptions.
They called this phenomenon the "end of history illusion," in which people tend to
"underestimate how much they will change in the future." According to their research, which
involved more than 19,ooo people ranging in age from rB to 68, the illusion persists from
teenage years into retirement.
"Middle-aged people - like me - often look back on our teenage selves with some mixture
of amusement and chagrin," said one of the authors, Daniel T. Gilbert, a psychologist at
Harvard. "What we never seem to realize is that our future selves will look back and think
the very same thing about us. At every age we think we're having the last laugh, and at every
age we're wrong."
Other psychologists said they were intrigued by the findings, published Thursday in the
journal Science, and impressed with the amount of supporting evidence. Participants were
asked about their personality traits and preferences - their favorite foods, vacations,
hobbies and bands - in years past and present, and then asked to rnake predictions for the
future. Not surprisingly, the younger people in the study reported more change in the
previous decade than did the older respondents. But when asked to predict what their
personalities and tastes would be like in ten years, people of all ages consistently played
down the potential changes ahead.
Thus, the typical zo-year-old woman's predictions for her next decade weren't nearly as
radical as the typical 3o-year-old woman's recollection of how much she had changed in her
zos. This sort of discrepancy persisted among respondents all the way into their 6os.
And the discrepancy didn't seem to be because of faulty memories, because the personality
changes recalled by people jibed quite well with independent research charting how

Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill YouthTh.docxrjoseph5
Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill Youth
The topic selected for the research question is Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill Youth. Stigma against mentally ill youths is prevalent in our society today. The problem of stigma against the mentally ill teenagers is that it could hinder them from accessing the medical help that they need. It is wrong to discriminate mentally ill youths, and this stigma should be avoided. The community should see the person rather than looking at the mental condition. Stigma and discrimination of people with mental illness is a prevalent problem in the society today. Stigma can pervade the lives of those suffering from mental challenges. According to research, stigma and discrimination of mentally ill youths can affect self-esteem and rob people social opportunities, which can result in people to lack happiness. Issues such as denied opportunities of employment can affect social and emotional wellbeing of the patients. Sadly, people with mental problems can make their difficulties worse if they are face stigma in the society. According to medical experts, many patients may respond slowly or make it to recover when they face stigma and discrimination because it can increase depression and other related challenges.
Abstract
Population of Interest
My population of interest is mentally ill youths. It is surprising to now that many children and youth have mental illness. Roughly, 14% of young people tend to face mental illness at some point during the development phase. Mental illness is a significant problem and we must address it head on to reduce the adverse effects and promote positive social changes in the society. Mental illness is a significant problem. Approximately 60% of mental illnesses show up before the age of 18 years. This condition has a significant impact on a child's development. Mentally ill youths are the most affected in terms of stigma and discrimination. It is essential to study this group so that we can understand why do people discriminate and stigmatize the mentally ill youths and how can this behavior be dealt with.
Equality Act of 2010
Mental health is a condition, which is considered as a disability, especially if it has a long term effect on the day-to-day life of the patient. The Equality Act 2010 may apply to this case. The act protects disabled people from facing unfair treatment. The Equality Act 2010 says that it is wrong to harass, discriminate, or victimize people because of their disability. The act also protects mentally ill people from facing discrimination at the workplace. The law further protects the patients when they want services such as housing, education, and others.
Moreover, it is essential to talk openly about the problem of stigma and discrimination against people with mental illness because it will promote education and awareness in society. Lastly, it is important to educate society about the problem because many people are not aw.

The Stigma of Mental Illness
The Stigma of Mental Illness
The importance of stigma and the lack of mental support has suffered throughout history. Ask yourself, if people with mental issues and the lack of support should change and be accepted into all social norms? Or should they continue to not be supported over something they have no control over? Stigma has been well-defined as undesirable opinions, observations and relations which can cause discrimination according to the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, (2014). Mental illness is a syndrome that affects your mood, thought process, actions and present distress in social functions and occupational involvements.
As a result of mental distress, intimidation, brutality and alienation has been known to take place because people feel you may be unstable or dangerous, which is due to the distancing that is the place between each other, in addition to rejection and abandonment their reactions may become negative and sometimes violent in the nature of harming themselves or committing suicide all because of the lack of understanding of what mental illness is and how it affects the individual.
Mental illness stigmatization can also result in a poor understanding amongst family members and as an end result making them feel they are not able to seek treatment, or cure and cause the individual to seek other options when they feel they have no one that can help them understand what’s going on with themselves. These other options include marijuana, alcohol, prescription drugs and cigarettes can be a great start for those people scared to seek help with mental health issues Aviram, R. B., Brodsky, B. S. (2006).
This is where peer support is needed, it is so important for mental health patients to realize they have a sense of belonging and that they are not alone when dealing with their mental health issues. According to the SAMHSA.gov, peer support is one of the strategies that can help you to improve the state of mental health in America. Access to peer support is an effective way of enhancing the quality of life when always understand peer support as any form of assistance that comes from people who share characteristics or experiences relating to things that are in common. For instance, for patients with mental health issues, peer support includes: knowledge, emotional and social assistance that one may get from a person who has the same experiences.
Additionally, mental illness stigmatization can result in insufficient health insurance coverage of mental ailments by organizations. This can include being turned down for job opportunities or recognitions due to their illness. People with emotional disabilities tend to have issues with .

There are 4 peer responses needed and the instructions and posts are included below:
Guided Response:
Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response (a minimum of 100 words) to at least two of your peers by comparing and/or contrasting your selected three groups to theirs. What similarities or differences do you notice? How did your classmates justify their responses?
Nicole:
Vulnerability varies among people, some are more sensitive to it than others. When looking into various vulnerabilities I found that they can overlap, often vulnerable people are sensitive to risks that originate from economic, physical, social, biological, and genetic factors along with their lifestyle behaviors. Each of these factors plays an important role in vulnerabilities.
After an analysis of statistical data and trends related to different populations, I found that vulnerable mothers and children, abused individuals, and people affected by alcohol and substance abuse overlap in many ways. When considering data it is important to remember “It is difficult to get definitive data on any given population. Variations in how studies are conducted, the communities in which they are conducted, and the type of respondents all contribute to incomplete and inaccurate data compilation.”( Burkholder, D. M., & Nash, N. B. (2013). ). Vulnerable children can be affected by abuse ”Child maltreatment has enormous immediate and long-term repercussions. Beyond death, physical injury and disability, violence can lead to stress that impairs brain development and damages the nervous and immune systems.” (WHO). Many times child abuse can be linked to poverty and the stress of caring for children. Alcohol abuse can also be a cause of abuse of children, spouses or other people in our lives. Substance and alcohol abuse can also lead to health issues as well per the World health organization “Alcohol is a toxic and psychoactive substance with dependence producing propensities. Alcohol consumption contributes to 3 million deaths each year globally as well as to the disabilities and poor health of millions of people. Overall, the harmful use of alcohol is responsible for 5.1% of the global burden of disease” (WHO).

There are many factors that can affect a person’s vulnerability. These factors can consist of finances, family, and education. (Burkholder & Nash,2013). The three groups that I feel are most vulnerable are people diagnosed with mental conditions, immigrants and refugees, indigent and homeless people.
Studies show that 50% of Americans have had some sort of knowledge of a mental illness in their lifetime. 5% of adults in America have been diagnosed with a serious mental disor.

Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill Youth
The topic selected for the research question is Stigma and Discrimination against the Mentally Ill Youth. Stigma against mentally ill youths is prevalent in our society today. The problem of stigma against the mentally ill teenagers is that it could hinder them from accessing the medical help that they need. It is wrong to discriminate mentally ill youths, and this stigma should be avoided. The community should see the person rather than looking at the mental condition. Stigma and discrimination of people with mental illness is a prevalent problem in the society today. Stigma can pervade the lives of those suffering from mental challenges. According to research, stigma and discrimination of mentally ill youths can affect self-esteem and rob people social opportunities, which can result in people to lack happiness. Issues such as denied opportunities of employment can affect social and emotional wellbeing of the patients. Sadly, people with mental problems can make their difficulties worse if they are face stigma in the society. According to medical experts, many patients may respond slowly or make it to recover when they face stigma and discrimination because it can increase depression and other related challenges.
Abstract
Population of Interest
My population of interest is mentally ill youths. It is surprising to now that many children and youth have mental illness. Roughly, 14% of young people tend to face mental illness at some point during the development phase. Mental illness is a significant problem and we must address it head on to reduce the adverse effects and promote positive social changes in the society. Mental illness is a significant problem. Approximately 60% of mental illnesses show up before the age of 18 years. This condition has a significant impact on a child's development. Mentally ill youths are the most affected in terms of stigma and discrimination. It is essential to study this group so that we can understand why do people discriminate and stigmatize the mentally ill youths and how can this behavior be dealt with.
Equality Act of 2010
Mental health is a condition, which is considered as a disability, especially if it has a long term effect on the day-to-day life of the patient. The Equality Act 2010 may apply to this case. The act protects disabled people from facing unfair treatment. The Equality Act 2010 says that it is wrong to harass, discriminate, or victimize people because of their disability. The act also protects mentally ill people from facing discrimination at the workplace. The law further protects the patients when they want services such as housing, education, and others.
Moreover, it is essential to talk openly about the problem of stigma and discrimination against people with mental illness because it will promote education and awareness in society. Lastly, it is important to educate society about the problem because many people are not aw.

The Stigma of Mental Illness
The importance of stigma and the lack of mental support has suffered throughout history. Ask yourself, if people with mental issues and the lack of support should change and be accepted into all social norms? Or should they continue to not be supported over something they have no control over? Stigma has been well-defined as undesirable opinions, observations and relations which can cause discrimination according to the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, (2014). Mental illness is a syndrome that affects your mood, thought process, actions and present distress in social functions and occupational involvements.
As a result of mental distress, intimidation, brutality and alienation has been known to take place because people feel you may be unstable or dangerous, which is due to the distancing that is the place between each other, in addition to rejection and abandonment their reactions may become negative and sometimes violent in the nature of harming themselves or committing suicide all because of the lack of understanding of what mental illness is and how it affects the individual.
Mental illness stigmatization can also result in a poor understanding amongst family members and as an end result making them feel they are not able to seek treatment, or cure and cause the individual to seek other options when they feel they have no one that can help them understand what’s going on with themselves. These other options include marijuana, alcohol, prescription drugs and cigarettes can be a great start for those people scared to seek help with mental health issues Aviram, R. B., Brodsky, B. S. (2006).
This is where peer support is needed, it is so important for mental health patients to realize they have a sense of belonging and that they are not alone when dealing with their mental health issues. According to the SAMHSA.gov, peer support is one of the strategies that can help you to improve the state of mental health in America. Access to peer support is an effective way of enhancing the quality of life when always understand peer support as any form of assistance that comes from people who share characteristics or experiences relating to things that are in common. For instance, for patients with mental health issues, peer support includes: knowledge, emotional and social assistance that one may get from a person who has the same experiences.
Additionally, mental illness stigmatization can result in insufficient health insurance coverage of mental ailments by organizations. This can include being turned down for job opportunities or recognitions due to their illness. People with emotional disabilities tend to have issues with .

There are 4 peer responses needed and the instructions and posts are included below:
Guided Response:
Review several of your classmates’ posts. Provide a substantive response (a minimum of 100 words) to at least two of your peers by comparing and/or contrasting your selected three groups to theirs. What similarities or differences do you notice? How did your classmates justify their responses?
Nicole:
Vulnerability varies among people, some are more sensitive to it than others. When looking into various vulnerabilities I found that they can overlap, often vulnerable people are sensitive to risks that originate from economic, physical, social, biological, and genetic factors along with their lifestyle behaviors. Each of these factors plays an important role in vulnerabilities.
After an analysis of statistical data and trends related to different populations, I found that vulnerable mothers and children, abused individuals, and people affected by alcohol and substance abuse overlap in many ways. When considering data it is important to remember “It is difficult to get definitive data on any given population. Variations in how studies are conducted, the communities in which they are conducted, and the type of respondents all contribute to incomplete and inaccurate data compilation.”( Burkholder, D. M., & Nash, N. B. (2013). ). Vulnerable children can be affected by abuse ”Child maltreatment has enormous immediate and long-term repercussions. Beyond death, physical injury and disability, violence can lead to stress that impairs brain development and damages the nervous and immune systems.” (WHO). Many times child abuse can be linked to poverty and the stress of caring for children. Alcohol abuse can also be a cause of abuse of children, spouses or other people in our lives. Substance and alcohol abuse can also lead to health issues as well per the World health organization “Alcohol is a toxic and psychoactive substance with dependence producing propensities. Alcohol consumption contributes to 3 million deaths each year globally as well as to the disabilities and poor health of millions of people. Overall, the harmful use of alcohol is responsible for 5.1% of the global burden of disease” (WHO).

There are many factors that can affect a person’s vulnerability. These factors can consist of finances, family, and education. (Burkholder & Nash,2013). The three groups that I feel are most vulnerable are people diagnosed with mental conditions, immigrants and refugees, indigent and homeless people.
Studies show that 50% of Americans have had some sort of knowledge of a mental illness in their lifetime. 5% of adults in America have been diagnosed with a serious mental disor.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

3. Invisible Disabilities Defined
• Invisible Disabilities are certain kinds of
disabilities that are not immediately
apparent to others.
• The National Institute of Health estimated
that 10% of people in the U.S. have a
medical condition which could be
considered a type of invisible disability.
Conceptual Framework
This presentation addresses invisible disabilities through the
conceptual framework of descriptive research focusing on K -
12, higher education, sports, healthcare/medicine, and the
criminal justice system.

“misunderstood and invalidated by our loved ones”
“women are 7X

“…being too neurotic”
“She doesn't look sick”
“The worst part
was doctors
pointing out that
I am just a
hypochondriac.”
“IT WAS EXTREMELY VALIDATING TO HAVE THE
MEDICAL COMMUNITY HEAR WHAT I SAID TO
THEM.”

inclusive society, one
group finds itself
overlooked. Those with

They may not seem
obviously
handicapped, unlike
those with physical

Editor's Notes
We will introduce the concept of invisible disabilities and how it impacts the different communities WE interact with (K-12, higher ed, sports, health, and prison system).
Connor & Baglieri states ”The concept of normalcy is rooted within ableist assumptions of how a body should look and act. Ableism, analogous to racism, sexism, heterosexism-is the belief that those with disabilities are inferior to non-disabled people, who are not quite fully human.”
While not exhaustive, the list herein reflects the numerous disabilities that are not visible physically. As employers, families, and communities are challenged with people who have these medical conditions, equity, diversity and equality are as important today than ever.
The National Institute of Health estimated that 10% of people in the U.S. have a medical condition which could be considered a type of invisible disability.
Think about the friends and family you know who may have a condition that is classified as an invisible disability; how do they interact to try to have a fulfilling life, what limitations do they experience?
Approximately four million students with disabilities are enrolled in public elementary and secondary schools in the United States. Of them, 43 percent are students classified as learning disabled, 8 percent as emotionally disturbed, and 1 percent as “other health impaired.” These hidden disabilities often go unknown without the administration of appropriate diagnostic tests.

Connor & Baglieri state ”The concept of normalcy is rooted within ableist assumptions of how a body should look and act. Ableism, analogous to racism, sexism, heterosexism-is the belief that those with disabilities are inferior to non-disabled people, who are not quite fully human.”
This belief has permeated the K-12 educational system and has influenced the way teachers interact with students and set expectations for their behaviors. These expectations have been termed a master script.
In the education sector, the master script is a socio-cultural tool that encapsulates the language and behavior that dictates what is normal.
Many educators use the master script to set student academic and behavior expectations. Educators also use the master script to get their students to comply to those expectation by shaming them if they do not obey.
In order to achieve equitable performance conditions and outcomes in a K-12 learning environment, using the master script in conjunction with the stories of marginalized people will balance and enrich the understanding of perspectives.
According to American College Health Association (ACHA), 3 in 10 college students reported feeling so depressed that it was difficult for them to function”
National Center for Injury Prevention, reported ages 25-34 suicide is more common than homicide as a cause of death.
A 2013-2014 study by the Association for University and College Counseling Center Directors found that 47.4 percent of students had some type of anxiety, followed by 39.7 percent with some depression.
Weaver’s article from 2016 details some side effects of anxiety and depression as well as some statistics from surveys about mental illness.
According to APA (2018), due to Gun Violence, Immigration, Sexual Harassment Stressing America’s Youngest Adults (known as Gen Z); Most Likely to Report Poor Mental Health
GENERATION Z College Students- are experiencing a higher rise of mental health due to the society that we live in. Now, media is easily available to students via social media.

According to 2011 ACHA Student Athlete survey of 195,000 about 30 percent reported having felt depressed in the last 12 months, and 50 percent reported having felt overwhelming anxiety during the same period.
It can be difficult to imagine that a person who can produce so much athletic success would experience anything other than pleasure, pride, and an unending supply of self-confidence.
But mental health issues don’t discriminate.
Athletes have real concerns about taking time off to deal with anything other than a physical injury, and as a result, mental health issues may end up being ignored, or dealt with in the short-term, from game to game or event to event, as opposed to the long-term care that may be warranted.
Professional and college athletes have just begun to speak about the mental health struggles they face and the impact it has on their personal and athletic careers. Kevin Love discussed his experience with panic attacks and therapy he has undergone; Brandon Marshall said “we need to accept that mental illness is a disease like any other disease…” and Michael Phelps who has been open about his experience with depression (Huffpost.com, 2018) .
The National Institute of Health has found that healthcare professionals exhibit the same levels of implicit bias against the disabled as the general population.
Many doctors believe that symptoms are psychosomatic, leading to many conditions going undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
96% of people with chronic medical conditions live with an illness that is invisible.
The World Health Organization has found that patients with mental illness are considered the most disadvantaged in terms of accessing equitable health care.
The most common barriers are
Transportation and Mobility Issues
Access to Medicine or Specialists
Financial resources and insurance Coverage
Provider Bias and Communication Barriers
Within the prison system, a large percentage of persons with severe mental illness received their acute psychiatric inpatient treatment in the criminal justice system rather than in the mental health system1.2 million individuals living with mental illness sit in jail and prison each year.
Six out of 10 of the states with the least access to mental health care also have the highest rates of incarceration.
These states include:
Alabama
Arkansas
Mississippi
Texas
Georgia
Florida
The institutionalizing of individuals with mental incapacities is seen often in today’s society. These incapacities prevent them from effectively articulating their feelings or points of view, and this can lead to feelings of injustice and frustration.
Per Mayer & Caruso (2008), frustration coupled with a sense of injustice can lead to anger.
This show of anger or aggression can appear threatening and non compliant to law enforcement who often have no choice but to restrain and arrest these individuals.
Using emotions as signals is often how these individuals communicate their feelings to others.
Developmentally, many do not have the capacity to perceive emotions accurately (Mayer, Caruso, 2008).
This can intensify potentially dangerous situations where law enforcement may make serious demands of an individual with an invisible disability, and the individual does not understand the emotional signals of the officer’s.
It is estimated that 25% of prison inmates and 10-20% of jail inmates suffer from serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder (Hirschtritt, Binder, 2017).
By not providing these individuals with the appropriate level of help they need only increases the possibility of self harm or harm to others, as well as contributing to the existing problem of overcrowded jails and prisons in the US legal system.
Conclusion:
We must work towards building a more inclusive environment for people with both invisible and visible disabilities.
To do this we need to destigmatize invisible disabilities, acknowledge that invisible disabilities may prevent someone from performing as expected. The ADA is only a law to support thee individuals with the access that is legally due them by their employer, however, it is incumbent that as a society, we do more to recognize that disabilities are seen and unseen and everyone should be treated equitably and with dignity.
Some suggestions that might be considered are:
Colleges and universities to create programming centered around supporting the physical and mental health of all students.
Use inclusive language and avoid comments such “that’s crazy,” “You’re crazy,” “you are psycho,” “that’s stupid,” or “just lose weight.”
Be unafraid to seek out support and resources for yourself or the people around you.
