Cultural Competence and Personal Nursing Philosophy Student Name Institution Course Instructor Date Cultural Competence and Personal Nursing Philosophy Nursing is a key pillar of a healthy society. Nursing is a community-based service meant to benefit the masses objectively. It is essential that the practitioners engage impartially. That means that the profession should be able to practice inclusivity at all times among all people in the global communities devoid of any form of biasness. Therefore, competent nursing should accommodate different cultures and serve non-discriminatively. Campinha-Bacote’s Model of The Process of Cultural Competence in the Delivery of Healthcare Campinha-Bagote’s model is critical in promoting proficient care. The framework has five constructs, namely, cultural desire, cultural awareness, cultural knowledge, cultural skill, and cultural encounters. The constructs make up the process of cultural competence (Campinha-Bacote, 2002). Although the model works from an assumption perspective, it is essential to address nursing care that is culturally sound from within to align with the external environment. Thus it serves as a vital guideline toward adopting culturally competent care among health workers. Mission Statements and Values of St. Thomas University (STU) St. Thomas University has established itself as a culturally inclusive institution extending the same in its respective programs, such as nursing. A focus on the university's mission statement evidences its commitment to promoting diversity (STU, 2022). The institution maintains a local and international outlook producing transcultural-oriented nurses at the nursing level. Thus the university plays a pivotal role in enabling cultural competency through education and healthcare. Personal Experience during Studies I would term cultural competence as the best gift humans would give to their counterparts in service provision. Cultural proficiency in the institution ensured smooth sailing for everyone despite their background. The virtue provides each one to explore their potential on level ground. Therefore, from my experience in the institution, I would recommend cultural competence in all public spaces as an inclusivity strategy.

Patient Information Student Name Affiliation Course Instructor Due Date Patient Information Gathering Detailed Patient Information Mental health specialists are essential when it comes to the well-being of those dealing with psychological and emotional problems. Compiling thorough patient data is critical to offering counseling and psychiatric care that works. A possible treatment plan should be included, as well as the patient's social and medical histories and a thorough mental health assessment. Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment Planning The cornerstone of successful mental health treatment is an accurate diagnosis. By obtaining comprehensive patient data, mental health practitioners can accurately diagnose their patients by determining the type and severity of their symptoms. People with various anxiety disorders may exhibit symptoms that are similar to or overlap with one another (Goodwin, 2022). For this reason, a thorough examination is essential to determining a specific diagnosis and developing a treatment strategy. For example, excessive concern, fear, and avoidance are common symptoms of both social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety disorder, but they require different therapeutic techniques. Identification of Underlying Medical Issues There is a connection between physical and mental health, and underlying medical disorders can worsen mental health symptoms or more similar ones. A thorough medical history is necessary to recognize and treat these problems. Numerous researches have demonstrated the link between psychological and physical well-being. Those with long-term health issues, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, are more likely to experience mood disorders like anxiety and depression. These co-occurring illnesses might not be identified without a thorough medical history, resulting in insufficient or ineffective mental health therapy. Assessment of Social and Environmental Factors A person's mental health concerns require a grasp of the social and environmental milieu in which they live and work. A comprehensive social history helps identify the patient's influencing elements, including stressors, traumas, support networks, and socioeconomic circumstances. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) development and exposure to traumatic experiences are strongly correlated. By gathering comprehensive social information, mental health practitioners can identify traumatic experiences and create trauma-informed care plans to address the underlying causes of distress.

PROBLEM STATEMENT 1 It is known that a certain laboratory task takes the average person 2.5 seconds. A developmental psychologist was interested in whether older people take longer to perform this task. The psychologist tested 30 randomly selected 80-year-olds. Their mean time was 2.7 seconds, with an estimated population standard deviation of 1.4 seconds. What should the psychologist conclude (use the .05 level)? 1. Restate the question as a research hypothesis and a null hypothesis about the populations. (2 points) 2. Determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution: Population mean = (1 point) Population variance = (1 point) Standard deviation of the distribution of sample means = (1 point) Degrees of Freedom = (1 point) 3. Determine the significance cutoff. Use the t table. (1 points) 4. Determine your sample’s score on the comparison distribution. (2 points) 5. Decide whether to reject the null hypothesis. (2 points) Set Up Hypothesis Null Hypothesis H0: U = 2.5 Alternate, mean response time of older people slower than the response time of people in general H1: U>2.5 Test Statistic Population Mean(U)=2.5 Given That X(Mean)=2.7 Standard Deviation(S.D)=1.4 Number (n)=30 we use Test Statistic (Z) = x-U/(s.d/Sqrt(n)) Zo=2.7-2.5/(1.4/Sqrt(30) Zo =0.7825 | Zo | =0.7825 Critical Value The Value of |Z ?| at LOS 0.05% is 1.64 We got |Zo| =0.7825 & | Z ? | =1.64 Make Decision Hence Value of |Zo | < | Z ? | and Here we Do not Reject Ho P-Value : Right Tail - Ha : ( P > 0.7825 ) = 0.217 Hence Value of P0.05 < 0.217, Here We Do not Reject Ho accept hypothesis, we don't have evidence that mean response time of older people slower than the response time of people in general

Module 2 Discussion No unread replies.No replies.     Discussion 2 Hematopoietic:  J.D. is a 37 years old white woman who presents to her gynecologist complaining of a 2-month history of intermenstrual bleeding, menorrhagia, increased urinary frequency, mild incontinence, extreme fatigue, and weakness. Her menstrual period occurs every 28 days and lately there have been 6 days of heavy flow and cramping. She denies abdominal distension, back-ache, and constipation. She has not had her usual energy levels since before her last pregnancy.  Past Medical History (PMH):  Upon reviewing her past medical history, the gynecologist notes that her patient is a G5P5with four pregnancies within four years, the last infant having been delivered vaginally four months ago. All five pregnancies were unremarkable and without delivery complications. All infants were born healthy. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of osteoarthritis in the left knee, probably the result of sustaining significant trauma to her knee in an MVA when she was 9 years old. When asked what OTC medications she is currently taking for her pain and for how long she has been taking them, she reveals that she started taking ibuprofen, three tablets each day, about 2.5 years ago for her left knee. Due to a slowly progressive increase in pain and a loss of adequate relief with three tablets, she doubled the daily dose of ibuprofen. Upon the recommendation from her nurse practitioner and because long-term ibuprofen use can cause peptic ulcers, she began taking OTC omeprazole on a regular basis to prevent gastrointestinal bleeding. Patient history also reveals a 3-year history of HTN for which she is now being treated with a diuretic and a centrally acting antihypertensive drug. She has had no previous surgeries.  Case Study Questions Name the contributing factors on J.D that might put her at risk to develop iron deficiency anemia.
