Case Study – The Elderly
Scenario:
As a community health nurse, you are working in an outpatient clinic in a community that serves mainly elderly clients.
This year, you noted that 85 percent of the visits resulting in hospitalization resulted from bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, and influenza as compared to last year. At that time; the visits weredue to colds, sore throats, influenza, bronchitis, and pneumonia, in order of frequency.
Maria Perez, a 73-year-old Cuban American woman has been referred for community health nursing services following her discharge from the hospital. She smokes two packs of cigarettes per day. She was recently hospitalized as a result of a severe shortness of breath due to an asthma attack. The primary care provider prescribed respiratory treatments using Albuterol via jet nebulizer every 4-6 hours as needed. Mrs. Perez lives alone and has three cats to take care of.
Instructions:

Read the scenario above and answer the following questions:

What are the biophysical, psychological, physical environmental, sociocultural, behavioral, and health system factors influencing Mrs. Perez’s health?
Describe at least three primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention strategies that would be appropriate in resolving Mrs. Perez’s health problems. Why would they be appropriate?
What activities related to health promotion and disease prevention would you plan for the late fall?
How would you evaluate your nursing interventions? What criteria would you use to evaluate care?

For this assignment you will provide a detailed discussion of a theory of pop culture and provide critical discussion of this theory. The purpose of this assignment is to help you hone your critical thinking skills. You will provide exposition and criticism of a theory of pop culture. You may choose either Mass Cultural Theory or Critical Theory.
Your essay should include some discussion of the following questions:
1. What or who determines popular culture? Where does popular culture come from? Does it emerge from the people themselves as an autonomous expression of their interests and modes of experience, or is it imposed from above by those in positions of power as a type of social control?
2. Describe how commercialization and industrialization influences popular culture. Does reducing culture to commodity mean that the criteria of profitability and marketability take precedence over quality, artistry, integrity and intellectual challenge? Or does it result in a universal market where what is popular actually corresponds to what people want and think is valuable? Does marketability and profitability actually produce quality art or does it only benefit business interests?
3. Is popular culture used to control and indoctrinate the people? Is it used to get people to accept and adhere to ideas and values which will ensure the continued dominance of a particular elite and allow them to exercise power over them? Or is popular culture about rebellion and opposition to the prevailing social order? Is pop cultural a spontaneous genuine burst of creativity or is it just a means through which a dominate group exercises control of society?
4. After you provide an accurate account of one of these theories of pop culture, you should then review the strengths and weaknesses of the theory. Can you identify some objections to the theory? You can research objections, but you need to consult reputable sources.
Specifications:
Submit a 1000-1200 word essay addressing the questions above.
In your essay:

  • Be sure to structure your essay with an introduction paragraph that includes a thesis statement, well-organized supporting paragraphs, and a conclusion that reiterates the main points of your argument.
  • Your argument should be supported by reputable research cited in APA format both in the body of the paper and in your references section.

Marial,   ( this is for the professor)
You made some great points regarding challenging your own perceptions and being open to other perceptions. This week we read about the stages of interpersonal conflict. Using what you learned about perception and the stages of interpersonal conflict walk us through a conflict you recently experienced and how perception impacted these stages of interpersonal conflict.

Conflict within the workplace is inevitable. I recall that in my workplace, I experienced a dispute with one of my colleagues. My colleague did not want to wait for me to come in to give me the nurses’ report. She would leave early most of the time and not meet with me as required to go over the patients that she was supposed to transfer to my care. Because we were unable to find a resolution, I decided to speak with the charge nurse who would serve as the neutral third party.
I would prefer the use of a facilitative approach to finding a resolution. With this type of approach, the third party, aims to facilitate negotiation between both parties (McKenzie, 2015). In this case, this approach is ideal because of the nature of the dispute. The charge nurse aims to find a resolution as patient care cannot be compromised. Perception can affect how one sees the problem leading to the conflict. In this case, the student’s colleague may not believe her actions are wrong.
