Which of the following are examples of problems with the health care system that contribute to health disparities? Select all that apply. 1. A health care provider assumes that the patient missed two appointments because the patient does not care about his or her health and does not inquire about the reasons for missed visits. 2. The discharge nurse at a hospital uses Teach Back with a patient to ensure that she has communicated the discharge instructions clearly. 3. A community hospital lacks an adequate staff of social workers who are able to ensure patients' access to resources they need to take care of their health. 4. A hospital discharges a patient without ensuring that the patient has a primary care provider and has made a follow-up appointment. 5. A nurse uses a family member as an interpreter to explain the patient's medications. 6. The hospital conducts quality improvement without stratifying data by race, ethnicity, language, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and other axes of social group identities.

1, 3, 4, 5, 6. A large body of research shows that health care systems and health care providers contribute significantly to the problem of health disparities. Inadequate resources (lack of social workers), poor patient-provider communication (discharge instructions), a lack of culturally competent care, system fragmentation (not ensuring that the patient has a primary care provider or a follow-up appointment), and inadequate language access (use of interpreters) are critical factors that contribute to inequities in patient outcomes. RESPECT is the mnemonic for Rapport, Empathy, Support, Partnership, Explorations, Cultural competence, Trust.

A patient is admitted through the emergency department (ED) after a serious car accident. The nurse assesses the patient and quickly learns that he speaks little English. Spanish is his primary language. The nurse speaks some Spanish. Which interventions would be appropriate at this time? Select all that apply. 1. The nurse requests a professional interpreter. 2. Since this is an emergent situation, the nurse will interpret and identify the patient's priority needs. 3. The nurse determines the interpreter's qualifications and makes sure that the interpreter can speak the patient's dialect. 4. The nurse uses short sentences to explain the treatments provided in the ED. 5. The nurse directs questions to the patient by looking at the patient instead of at the interpreter.

1, 3, 4, 5. In any situation the nurse should use an interpreter and not the family to convey information to the patient. As the nurse you need to question the interpreter about his or her ability to speak the patient's dialect. It is your responsibility to introduce the interpreter to the patient. You are communicating with the patient and should direct your questions and responses to the patient and not the interpreter. Short sentences make it easier for the patient to understand complex information.

A family is undergoing a major change. Just as twins graduate from college and leave home to begin their careers, the husband loses his executive well-paying job.

1. Object permanence. He is now in Piaget's later stage of sensorimotor thought and has learned that objects exist even though he cannot see or touch them.

What is the health belief model?

1. Perceived susceptibility: the person must recognize that they may be susceptible to the disease (grandma and grandpa died of heart failure, will I?) 2. Individual's perception of the seriousness of the illness. This perception is influenced and modified by demographics and sociopsychological variables, perceived threats of the illness, and cues to action. ( if the patient doesn't think heart failure is sereious it will affect how they react) 3. The likelihood that a person will take preventive action. This component results from a person perception of the benefits of and barriers to taking action. prevenative actions include lifestyle changes, increased adherence to medical therapies, or a search for medical advice. a patients perception of susceptibility to disease and his/her perception of the seriousness of illness help to determine the likelihood that the patient will or will not partake in healthy behaviors.

Select all that apply. 1.Sedentary lifestyle 2. Mother died from CAD at age 48 3. History of hypertension 4. Eats diet high in sodium 5. Elevated cholesterol level

2, 3, 5. Genetic and physiological risk factors include those related to heredity, genetic predisposition to an illness, or those that involve the physical functioning of the body. Certain physical conditions such as being pregnant or overweight place increased stress on physiological systems (e.g., the circulatory system), increasing susceptibility to illness in these areas. A person with a family history of diabetes mellitus is at risk for developing the disease later in life because of a hereditary and genetic predisposition to the disease.

When you care for a patient who does not speak English, it is necessary to call on a professional interpreter. Which of the following are proper principles for working with interpreters? Select all that apply. 1. Expect the interpreter to interpret your statements word-for-word so there is no misunderstanding by the patient. 2.

"I participate every year in our local walk/run to raise money for breast cancer research."

2. On the basis of health belief model, the statement indicates that the patient is concerned about developing breast cancer and feels that there is a risk or susceptibility based on recognition of a familial link for the disease. Once this link is recognized, the patient may perceive the personal risk.

A patient comes to the local health clinic and states: "I've noticed how many people are out walking in my neighborhood. Is walking good for you?"

Schemas become self-initiated activities (learns that sucking on thumb feels good so sucks on toys and clothes). Success achievement leads to greater exploration. During this stage a child learns about himself and his environment through motor and reflex actions.

Children are now able to describe a process without actually doing it. At this time they are able to coordinate two concrete perspectives in social and scientific thinking so they are able appreciate the difference between their perspective and that of a friend.
