Diversity and Disparities in Healthcare
It is vitally important that nurses are aware of other cultures as they collaborate with a diverse work force as well as patients and their families. Assume you are Masaya’s preceptor. What leadership skills should you model to assist Masaya and your fellow coworkers with his acceptance into the work-group/team based on what you discover by watching the video (link is below).

Alicia, the nurse leader, is wearing a lab coat. She is an African American. Masaya is wearing street clothes and is a Filipino who is approximately 25 years old. They are sitting in the nurse leader’s office at the hospital, with Alicia behind her desk.

Nurse leader: Thank you so much for coming in today for this discussion. It is so hectic when you are on duty; I appreciate you meeting with me on your day off when we can have a better chance to talk. Be sure to clock in as you will be paid for this time.

I would like to discuss how you are adapting to working in the United States in general, and on our unit specifically. How’s it going?

Staff nurse: Thank you, ma’am, for asking me to come in. I don’t mind at all. I usually clean my apartment on my day off. It’s so small, it only takes about 10 minutes. (both laugh)

Hmm… how do I think it is going? Now, don’t get me wrong. I love my job and my preceptor is great, but it has been a challenge. For example, I noticed the other day that a few of the nurses rolled their eyes when I began report with my patients’ sur names instead of their first names. This is the way I was taught to do it in the Philippines, but I guess it sounds weird here.

And my preceptor told me that when I respond to everyone by saying “Yes, ma’am,” or “Yes, sir,” it doesn’t come across as respectful, but instead makes them feel old.

I brought in some lumpia I made using my mom’s recipe, and put it in the lounge. No one even mentioned it, let alone thank me.

And some of the nurses are trying to fix me up on dates. They know I’m married and my wife is in nursing school back in Manila. I’m over here earning money to pay for her schooling, but they think we’ve split up because we aren’t living together.

Nurse leader: Thank you for being so candid with me. Is there anything else you wish to share?

Staff nurse: That’s all that comes to mind. I’m trying to fit in, but it’s been rough at times. Moving to the U.S. has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. But I’m determined to keep this job. It has been a great opportunity.

Nurse leader: First of all, I want you to know that I’ve seen great progress since you started working here. Let me think about what you’ve said, and see how I may be able to help you and the staff see things from each other’s perspective.
Enjoy the rest of your day off.

The purpose of this activity is to assess the health and safety characteristics in two early childhood classrooms. Locate a copy of your local guidelines for child care programs (county, state) and the health and safety guidelines from the Aronson textbook. Use these to conduct your observations. You will need to do the following:

a. Begin by reviewing the position statement from NAEYC about developmentally appropriate practices regarding supporting children’s health and safety as well as the guidelines and regulations from your local County or state. Summarize the main tenets of the position statement on these aspects
b. In consultation with your course instructor, identify three classrooms (age groups (infants and toddlers; 3-4; kindergarteners, primary-age) where you can conduct your observations. You can also consult with the Placement Office to locate suitable settings. Schedule and conduct the visits to each classroom: age groups (infants and toddlers; 3-4; kindergarteners, primary-age).
c. Conduct the observations (minimum of 30 minutes each). Use the form in this section to conduct your observations. Interview the teachers at each setting. Find out how they plan for the integration of health, nutrition, and safety into the curriculum. Ask teachers about the following:
o practices followed to safeguard confidential health information
o strategies to access health information so as to monitor children’s medical needs
o Inquire about how the program responds to health and nutrition practices followed by culturally diverse families.
d. Report your findings in writing and include the following:

 Description of the settings visited (age groups; type of program)

The purpose of this assessment is to encourage you to integrate theory into practice. It is designed to augment your ability to assess, interpret and critically evaluate the complex issues faced by patients with significant cardiac disease.

Choose a patient in your care. It is important to obtain patient consent and maintain patient confidentiality. In your written submission you must provide a script of what you said to the patient when asking for consent. You must also state that the patient gave consent.

Submit a written discussion, analysis and evaluation of that patient’s clinical presentation and management. Your are required to highlight nursing care and management.

The discussion may be confined to a snapshot of a critical period or may address a progressive episode of care.

Patient selection

If you predominantly work in interventional cardiology, choose a patient with an EF <35% and/or NYHA class III or IV.

All other students choose a patient with at least one of the following:

• Invasive monitoring

• Inotropes

• Temporary pacing

• IABP
• IV glycaemic management
NOTE: Your patient must also have an ECG, CXR and blood (UEC, FBC etc) results – You may upload the most relevant results
