This week as we explore cultural diversity it is important to realize the impact culture plays in health promotion. It is essential that we become culturally competent to ensure we provide the best possible care and services to all of the patients we serve regardless of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Culture is embedded in one’s worldview and perception about health yet we often overlook how culture plays a role in an individual’s health outcomes. In this week’s discussion, you will choose a vulnerable population (based on a cultural group, race, ethnicity, gender, etc), find a journal article (less than five years old) that pertains to the chosen cultural group, and answer the following questions:

1. From the vulnerable population, you selected, please describe in paragraph form including how their belief systems and view of health are impacted. Be sure to include a minimum of one socioeconomic factor and one regional and ethnic factor that should be considered when evaluating the health promotion needs of this population.
2. Define health disparity in your own words and describe one health disparity that affects or can affect the culture you have selected?
3. From the health disparities, you identified in prompt two, which of these would be of the highest priority to screen for in your assessment of this individual?

The topic for the final exam is, "Describe How the HMO's shifted and pivoted their services during the current COVID-19 Pandemic".  Some of the services included, telehealth, virtual visits, COVID testing, patient care, patient education, crisis hotlines, case management outreach services, relaxed HIPPA rules, etc.

Case 1:
A 45-year-old man with a history of depression presented to the ED with the complaint of feeling suicidal. The patient had cut himself after an argument with his wife. His family called 911; the police and EMS responded and transported him to the ED. The initial suicide screening revealed that the patient did not want to live and intended to kill himself. Because of this initial screening, the ED nurse initiated “high risk behavioral health precautions.” The physician ordered labs, suicide precautions with one-on-one observation, and evaluation by the on-call mental health counselor. Everyone agreed that the patient was at high risk of suicide and would require inpatient psychiatric admission.

The medical record showed that the patient was “placed in a gown and a safe ED room” and that suicide precautions were initiated. The ED nurse charting — performed at 15-minute intervals — indicated that security was at the patient’s bedside. While awaiting psychiatric admission and after several hours of observation, security briefly left the patient’s room; they returned to find the patient unresponsive, cyanotic, and hanging from the cardiac monitor with the monitor wires wrapped around his neck. The patient did not survive despite a code blue resuscitation.

Question 1. What went wrong?

Question 2: What should have happened?

Case 2:
Before a thorough evaluation could take place, a suicidal patient in the ED started screaming at the nurses that she wanted to leave. The patient was restrained supine by all four limbs. The 2 beds in the ED designated for behavioral health patients were full, so they put the patient in a procedure room, away from the nurse’s station. Since the patient was screaming and yelling, the ED staff was happy to isolate the patient in a room. The staff allowed her to keep her clothes on so as not to agitate her any further. They did not find weapons on her, but they also did not perform a diligent search for other objects that could be used to inflict harm.

Question 3. What went wrong?
Question 4: Review TJC National Patient Safety Goal
A.   Identify the specific goals that addresses suicide
B.   Research and review the elements of performance for the standard

Hemolyzed: The condition of serum or plasma that contains hemoglobin from broken RBCs.
Now, give (3) tests that will have a falsely increased result if a hemolyzed sample is used and give at least three (3) tests that will have a falsely decreased result if a hemolyzed sample is also used.

Kindly enumerate the tests and briefly discuss why is that your answer.
