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?

caridad is a 26 year old, G1PO, at 28 wga. Her pregnancy so far has been uneventful expect for some spotting during the first six weeks. Caridad smokes 3 to 4 cigarettes a day.
Case study
Caridad calls the prenatal clinic to say that earlier this morning she had felt her baby move a lot. she said the movement was so violent that it actually hurt her. Now she realizes that she has not felt her baby move again all day. She is told to come in, and the baby's heart tones are checked. They cannot be located. An ultrasound is ordered, and the diagnosis of fatal demise is made.
Questions
Is there a relationship between the spotting during the first trimester and later intrauterine fetal death (IUFD)?
Caridad is not experiencing any bleeding or cramping at this time. what is the probability hat she will go into spontaneous labor soon?
if she does not go into labor, how will the pregnancy be terminated?
what are the risk for Caridad if she decides to wait for her body to naturally go into labor
