Module 3 Mental health Nursing: Culture

  

Module 03 Written Assignment – Cultural Considerations in Mental Health Nursing

Submit an evidence-based practice paper about cultural competency in mental health nursing. An evidence-based practice paper allows you to explore best practices and help improve client outcomes in a psychiatric unit. Your paper should describe how you, as a nurse, will include – or have included – cultural awareness in a client diagnosed with a mental illness. The person you describe could be someone in your clinical setting, someone you have worked with in the past, or a theoretical client.

Remember that culture can also include gender equality, sexual orientation, and other cultures besides race and religion – including cultures unique to one particular family.  Your paper should be at least 3 pages (double-spaced, not including the title or reference pages) in APA format and include:

Assessment: Discuss what you would assess in regard to a client’s culture. For example, are there specific dietary requirements? Are schedule changes necessary to avoid conflicts with religious practices? Who is the spokesperson for the family? What would you assess?

Diagnosis: List any mental health nursing diagnoses this person has or may be at risk for. Include at least one cultural diagnosis.

Planning: What planning needs to be done to ensure the cultural and emotional safety of the client?

Implementation: What are interventions that would ensure the safety of your client in regard to culture? Include at least two interventions. For example, if your client has religious beliefs that affect the ability to take medications, what interventions would you create to ensure the client’s safety? What can you do to make sure the client’s cultural needs are met?

Evaluation: How will you evaluate whether your implementation was effective? Make sure the parameters are objective and measurable.

In your summary, discuss whether any completed interventions were successful. What could be done differently in the future? If the interventions have not yet been carried out, you might discuss some institutional changes that could be made to ensure cultural safety for all clients in that setting.

Your paper should utilize proper APA guidelines and include at least three scholarly sources to support your paper. A scholarly source is a source that has been peer-reviewed and has appropriate authors that are credentialed. For more information on APA, please visit the Online Library.

You currently work for the development department of Sunny Manor Nursing and Rehab Center. Sunny Manor was once a privately owned small skilled nursing home in Sunny Beach, Florida until it was sold 6 years ago to a larger group of investors known for buying older nursing homes and developing them into larger more modern skilled nursing and rehab centers. Sunny Beach itself is a small retirement community close to larger beach towns. Most of the residents are 55 years or older, and there is a growing population of 70+ retired adults. However, the city is known for being technologically advanced for a retirement community. In fact, the city has a popular social media page followed by many residents and a very popular online newsletter that can be accessed through most social media programs. Also, 5 years ago, a brand new hospital opened just outside of Sunny Beach. This brought some the top physicians and surgeons in the state to the area.

Sunny Manor recently finished a major renovation, updating the previous long-term-care wings and adding a new wing with 20 new rooms. The new wing is solely dedicated to sub-acute rehab services, and the facility also added a new updated therapy room with an expanded therapy staff and modern high-tech equipment.

After working in care coordination and admissions for the past several years, you have been promoted to the development department and tasked with marketing the new facility. The goal is to build a stronger relationship with the discharge staff and physicians at the new hospital and expand a broader reach to the community.

The first step is for you to analyze and research the changing community and develop a marketing proposal for your boss, the director of development, on how to best connect with the community of Sunny Beach and increase referrals from the new hospital.

For this task, develop a summary marketing proposal on the above scenario that includes the following elements: Evaluate the potential impact of the updated facility and new therapy services on potential improvements in patient satisfaction and developing new marketing share. Assess possible methods to build rapport within Sunny Beach and surrounding communities. Develop a plan for communicating with the community better through social media by connecting Sunny Manor to the residents of Sunny Beach through digital marketing. Provide details on how ongoing research into the community will help Sunny Manor stay ahead of the competition and well connected with community. Consider concepts in monitoring the changing demographics of the community and growing health care sector. Propose a research design model including all the key elements of the research design. Apply an assessment tool and implementation plan such as the Model for Improvement (Plan-Do-Study-Act [PDSA]). Conclude with recommending models and/or tools that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the development teams’ efforts on an ongoing basis .

The body of the resultant report should be 7 pages and include at least 7 relevant peer-reviewed academic or professional references published within the past 5 years. For a resource guide on using the online library to search for references, please click here.

English Arguments

 Assignment 5.1: Write two argumentative paragraphs. In Week 4, you completed the research needed to write your essay. You gathered sources- at least one per paragraph- and created an annotated bibliography. This week, you will write two of the three argumentative paragraphs. Look at the essay outline you created last week to remind yourself which paragraphs you will write. Example Thesis: Seniors who live in elderly homes enjoy the advantages of this decision. Example Outline: Argument 1: Socialization Argument 2: Medical Care Argument 3: Constant care companion According to the example outline, I am writing Arguments 1 and 2, socialization and medical care. Now it is time to review the annotated bibliography completed Week 4. Organize the information to place within the paragraph. Example Annotated Bibliography: Argument 1: Socialization Keffle, H. “The Eefect of Living in a Nursing home on Socialization in Elderly People.” Journal of Advanced Nursing • Seniors who lived in nursing homes developed 23% greater muscle mass in six months (432). • The “relaxed state of being” is when an elderly person lives with his friends and shares their experiences. • The “anxious state of being” is when seniors live alone. Keffle’s research shows that in a sample population of 100 seniors, those who lived alone were more likely to suffer physical and psychological effects. Example Paragraph Outline Example Argument 1 Paragraph Nursing homes provide an array of activities for seniors that  benefit their quality of life. Whether it is going to the center for an ice cream or attending music night in the banquet room, seniors who live in a large group help keep each other active. In a 2012 study, researchers found that seniors who lived in nursing homes developed 23% greater muscle mass in six months (Keffler 432). Clearly, those who worry about their aging parents ought to consider the physical benefits of being social. Moreover, the social life at nursing homes helps seniors exercise their brains. Playing games, such as bingo and cards, learning to dance or cook and simply navigating the grounds force the brain to continue working. All nursing homes incorporate dynamic activities because they know it will help improve the quality and longevity of the elderly. Lastly, the friends elderly people meet in a nursing helps them discover the most valuable benefit of allcompanionship. In the Journal of Nursing, Keffle shows how regularly interacting with others who share the same experiences improves their attitude to a “relaxed state of being” while those isolated suffer an “anxious state of being” (2012). Ultimately, her study proved that seniors engaging with others were more likely to have a positive outlook on life, which increases their chances of a better life. • three different colors = three different supporting details • three sentences for each supporting detail • within-paragraph transitions- “Moreover” and “Also”-  introduce new supporting details • last sentence = concluding statement (restatement) When beginning Argument paragraph 2, make sure to use an across-paragraph transition. The purpose of an across-paragraph transition is to connect the previous paragraph to the new paragraph. It is a strategy to remind the reader of the previous paragraph’s purpose right before you begin the new paragraph. To do so, first you need to think of the relationship between the two paragraphs. In this essay, the second Argument paragraph adds an additional point in convincing the reader. Therefore, the relationship between the two paragraphs is that of a addition. The following expressions are commonly used as acrossparagraph transitions of addition: • In addition to _______ , ________________ . • ________ not only _________ but also _______ . Use the same strategies as Argument 1 to create Argument 2. • Consult your essay outline.  Example Essay Outline: Argument 1: Socialization Argument 2: Medical Care Argument 3: Constant care companion Example Paragraph Outline It’s time to write the across-paragraph transition of addition. Example Argument 2 Paragraph Seniors in nursing homes enjoy not only the benefits of social activities but also the advantages of having medical personnel on site at all times. You notice that the writing structure of Argument 1 is the same as Argument 2. The only difference is that Argument 2 begins with an across-paragraph transition of addition. Don’t forget to include quotes or paraphrases in your paragraphs. Refer to Week 4 reading chapters. Once you have written Arguments 1 and 2, upload your work to the class site. Make sure to include your working thesis.
