Diversity in the Healthcare Workforce

Diversity in the Healthcare Workforce Purpose. CO2: Communicate effectively with culturally diverse individuals, families, and organizations. (PO3)

Discussion

As nurses, we work with providers and healthcare team members whose native language is not English. In fact, some of you may have interviewed a non-native English speaker for your Course Project. This diversity may lead to challenges with communication and the nurse being “caught in the middle.” • Reflect on your newfound knowledge of transcultural nursing. • Share an example of miscommunication that occurred as a result of this diversity and whether an adverse outcome resulted. • Describe how the miscommunication could have been and will be prevented in the future. Important information • Please be very detailed about this paper and make it robust also use an outside scholar reference along with the reading provided above and cite them as reference.

You must use an outside reference in order to have a full credit. • You are required to cite information from an outside source each week. Your additional information needs to be from the online library and a nursing journal, no additional information without author or datesshould be used. All of your references should be within five years of today’s date. • Also answer each question in yellow separately Reading Andrews, M. M., & Boyle, J. S. (2016).

Explain how the American Cancer Society ACS might provide education and support

Write a paper (1,750-2,000 words) on cancer and approach to care based on the utilization of the nursing process. Include the following in your paper: Describe the diagnosis and staging of cancer. Describe at least three complications of cancer, the side effects of treatment, and methods to lessen physical and psychological effects. Discuss what factors contribute to the yearly incidence and mortality rates of various cancers in Americans. Explain how the American Cancer Society (ACS) might provide education and support. What ACS services would you recommend and why? Explain how the nursing process is utilized to provide safe and effective care for cancer patients across the life span. Your explanation should include each of the five phases and demonstrate the delivery of holistic and patient-focused care.

Urological Concerns in the Maturing and Older Adults

A large population of aging adults experiences complication in their genitourinary health. Often, this is caused by the lapsing of various urinary organs and reproductive system. The most common form of Urinary Infections (UI), are the UTIs, which refer to inflammation and infection of the glands of the urinary bladder. These complications are experienced by both genders with the women having a higher predisposition (Detweiler, Mayers, & Fletcher, 2015). Due to the physical layout of the female genitalia, women are more common to contract UTIs. The most frequent urological concerns in the aging population include Urinary Incontinence, Dysuria, and Urethral Hypermobility, among others. Unwanted bacteria cause urinary Tract Infections within the geriatric urological system. Often, if such bacteria outnumber the healthy ones, the individual develops certain strains of UTIs. The Escherichia Coli and Proteus bacteria are responsible for up to 90% of UTIs in women and men, respectively. Dysuria is a condition such that one experiences a burning sensation on urination. This condition affects both women and men in equal measure. Common symptoms of this disease include bladder problems and failure of the renal system. However, menopause contributes to a significant extent, the prevalence of urological concerns in women. Lower levels of estrogen and general dryness of the female genital during this life stage predispose women to develop urethral complications. Urinary incontinence, the involuntary release of urine from the bladder is of significant concern in the elderly. In the US, this condition is common, especially in geriatric care. In women, it can be as a result of pregnancy, estrogen deficiency, and pelvic manipulation. Prostate issues, history of UTIs, and unmanaged diabetes are risk factors for developing this condition in men. Patients usually experience embarrassment and a resulting decrease in the quality of life due to the need for pull-ups and adult pads to avoid soiling themselves. Moreover, there occurs an apparent cost burden for the purchase of such products and admission into adult-care homes. Management and treatment of UTIs are necessary to reinstate the life of such patients. As a health provider of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), I would advocate for minimally invasive procedures to manage and treat such conditions. Treatments aimed at shrinking the prostate and relaxing bladder glands will focus on improving the response of urological patients (Hoey & Shadduck, 2016). Optimal goals and intention of treatment would be to lower the urgency and incontinence symptoms and improve patient’s quality of life. Ultimate diagnosis in urology requires intrinsic physical examination and workup. As a health provider, performing a Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) on patients promises accurate diagnosis, and therefore, the proper course of treatment. The DRE results in findings such as enlarged bladders and prostates weakened pelvic floors, and pudendal nerve damage, all of which are symptoms of various abnormalities within the urological system. Additional tests such as vaginal, pelvic, and cough exams aid in establishing the extent of genitourinary damage within the system of the patient. Upon satisfactory diagnosis, geriatric care calls for developing a counseling plan to help the patient through the healing process. Some management guidelines for recovering patients include pelvic kegel exercises, bladder control training, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle modification. The AUA has put in place strict regulations in PSA levels, especially in urological clinical care (Bekelman et al., 2018). For this reason, I have to maintain the highest standards of professionalism in delivering this form of geriatric care. Counselling also aids in countering side effects such as abnormal ejaculation, edema, and nausea as a result of medication. References Bekelman, J. E., Rumble, R. B., Chen, R. C., Pisansky, T.

INSTRUCTOR QUESTION BASED ON THE THIS DISCUSSION ABOVE I am glad to read of your desire to utilize PSA results to help guide the care of your patient population. class – what OTC or prescription medications can influence a PSA level? That is, what medications, when taken, may result in an abnormal high or low PSA level?

Cost effective innovative models of care delivery

1. Define ACOs and discuss their impact on the contemporary health care system. How do ACOs drive cost-effectiveness, innovation, and collaboration in the delivery of health care? 2. Research an organization that uses an innovative model of care. How does this innovative model affect interprofessional collaboration? How might this model contribute to the delivery of cost of effective health care? Make sure to identify the organization and model in your response

Do you think foods containing arsenic are a major concern? Reflect on if you would be concerned about consuming these foods or feeding them to a child. Do you think the FDA is sufficiently protecting the food supply in the United States from arsenic concerns? Why, or why not?
