With the increasing immigrant population a third barrier affecting access to health care is a cultural barrier. Culture barriers can include values and beliefs, language and race and ethnicity. Health beliefs and behavior can become a barrier when patients decide not to seek medical treatment and instead turn to home remedies and healers when treating illnesses. Approximately 10% of Americans speak a language other than English and can be classified ad being limited in their proficiency. For these patients language becomes a barrier and they are less likely to receive optimal medical treatment (Flores, 2006). Horton and Johnson (2010) stress the importance of communication in reducing disparities and increasing the trust of patients in the health care system. As reported by the American College of Physicians, evidence reveals that racial and ethnic minorities are more likely to receive inferior care when compared with non-minorities. This occurs even when minorities have access to insurance and adequate income (Racial and ethnic disparities in health care, 2010).

The Heritage Assessment Tool can be adopted as a dependable tool to gauge, health maintenance, restoration and safeguard of personal, cultural beliefs. The adoption of health assessment tool helps meet the prerequisites of diverse patient populations to offer quality all-inclusive care. The following paper reviews the assessment of three culturally dissimilar families, and demonstrate how a nurse would continue with health promotion centred on the variances in health traditions between the three cultures. The three cultures include Hispanic culture, Native American Indian culture and White American culture. The objectives of this essay are

However, Amanda’s family has potential to thrive despite these challenges if they are resilient (Black & Krishnakumar, 1998). African American families commonly show resiliency by having a strong kinship bonds, central role in religion, racial biculturalism, and enforcing positive self esteem (Black & Krishnakumar, 1998). Amanda’s father can continue to protect her from negative consequences of communities by providing structured activities, like sports, or involvement at recreational centers (Black & Krishnakumar,

It is know that the patient’s community or cultural group can have significant impact on a person’s health. Therefore, health care practitioners are faced with more challenges that include outside sources and they need to be willing to change their treatments to address the other sources.

What roles do culture, ethnicity, race, and socioeconomic status play in families' experiences in the healthcare system?

There have been court cases taken to trial where the evidence has been uncovered to have been retrieved under a violation of the Fourth Amendment, and consequently declared invalid.

In cases where evidence is obtained under a violation of expectation of privacy, suspects can fight back in court and be held unaccountable for their crimes. They walk out of court with neither fines nor a sentence. With this said, evidence is off limits when retrieved under a violation of the Fourth Amendment. Otherwise, the evidence is valid and can be used to determine a criminal's luck from the moment the enter a court of justice.

There are several racial/ethnic minorities in United States of America (USA), namely: Black or African Americans, Hispanic or Latinos, Asians, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, and American Indian and Alaska Natives. The Asian American (AA) population is the group that is going to be focused in this paper. AA is believed to be extremely heterogeneous and involving 21 subgroups (Shi & Singh, 2016). Inadequate focus has been applied to this population regarding the health epidemiology due to the decreased number of this group compared with the others despite it being so diverse. The US Census Bureau (2010) estimated that in 2010 only 4.7% are Asians. Despite this numbers, AA has been believed to be the fastest growing population segment in USA (Shi & Singh, 2016). US Census Bureau (2012) states that between 2000-2009 there was a change in this population by 32% in comparison with the changes to the other group. The increasing number of this population indicates the need to understand and have more knowledge on how to care to this group for proper health care service to be given can be effective. The author also belongs to this group and will help expand the knowledge on this group’s cultural sensitivity and how it will affect with the care expected to be implemented to them.

The Scale project business objective is to protect the lives of the residents at an assisted living facility by implementing an affordable automated alert system. Furthermore, we have learned must of the expectations from the various stakeholders, but in order to achieve our business objective, we must define the requirements triage.

Theorists are known to develop theories and models for healthcare professionals to follow as a framework in the medical field. Madeliene Leininger specifically implemented the transcultural theory addressing cultural dynamics. In the health care setting cultural diversity plays a big role because we have a variety of patients of all types of cultural backgrounds that are admitted into the hospital. In order to provide quality care to patients one must be culturally competent. Being culturally competent demonstrates that one can effectively communicate with patients of different cultural backgrounds. Alternatively, Nola Pender introduces a health promotion model that encourages the community to be involved and knowledgeable regarding health care decisions. The use of health promotion allows nurses to identify factors in certain neighborhoods that hinder a healthy lifestyle. When factors are identified and analyzed, programs can be implemented to further educate the community members so they are empowered. This comparative essay will discuss similarities and difference amongst Leininger and Pender while incorporating the six QSEN competencies.

It’s an exhausting experience for candidates and the interviewers. The day consists of a formal dinner with leadership the night before where candidates are sized up, even in an elegant midtown restaurant. After the candidate has five half hour sessions on Saturday morning the successful candidates would receive offers to join Investment Banking. Those who accepted offers would return in April for orientation to meet with the banking groups that interested them most.

The community partners will be the guide to understanding the culture, values, and practices of the target community. Cultural sensitivity must be factored in when conducting research data collection. Researchers must develop cultural competency when working with the community, to build a strong and trusting relationship. One method of data collection would be observing the community by walking through the streets, interacting with the community members, and documenting the observations every day either in the form of recording or writing.12 Interviewing the target population, women and their families, and the healthcare providers, would enlighten our understanding regarding the health disparities present in the community, the healthcare
