My question is: Should the patient be concerned based on their % predicted value? Why or why not?

Determine the patient’s actual vital capacity from the spirogram. Then calculate and analyze the patient’s % predicted vital capacity if the patient’s predicted vital capacity is 5200 ml.

    1. Actual vital capacity = 5000 ml
      • 6000 ml 1000 ml = 5000 ml
    1. Predicted Vital capacity = 5200 ml
    2. % predicted vital capacity = 96.15%
      • (5000 ml / 5200 ml) x 100 = 96.15%

1. Microaggression is a statement, action, or incident regarded as an instance of indirect, subtle, or unintentional discrimination against members of a marginalized group such as a racial or ethnic minority. Jenny is a White nurse practitioner at a large community hospital. She was educated at one of the best nursing programs in a large urban city and she prides herself on being fair and equal to all her patients. She turned down many jobs at private hospitals because they did not have a diverse clientele. One day Jenny is working with a Hispanic patient who speaks with a heavy accent. Becoming a little frustrated Jenny asked the patient to speak slower and clearer because she does not understand Mexican very well. The patient becomes visibly upset and becomes very short with his answers. When the session is over the patient leaves the room, angrily speaking to himself in Spanish. Jenny didn’t understand why the patient was angry, and from that point on avoided working with Hispanic patients. What microaggression did the patient encounter? Which microaggression dilemma do you believe he experienced? Why? What kind of racist is Jenny? Provide and analyze more microagression situations you have encountered in your life.

2. A physical therapy organization serves a diverse community in the inner city of Boston which consists of African American, Cape Verdean, and Hispanic members. The physical therapists, of which the majority are White, are concerned because they know little about the cultures of the groups with which they are working. What should be an important step for physical therapists in terms of preparing to receive cultural competence training?

3. A physical therapy office in "Little Haiti" in Miami is closed due to lack of funds. All patient appointments are routed to a nearby hospital's physical therapy department in which the predominant population served is Cuban. What steps do you believe the department has to take to meet the needs of the patients from a culturally competent perspective?
