Emerging Standards of Care Glorybel Rodriguez NUR 531 December 9, 2013 Sylvia Ellington Emerging Standards of Care The impact of the changing demographics and the growing multicultural world has emphasized the importance of cultural competence for the delivery of quality care in this diverse society. Knowing and understanding the beliefs, values, practices, and customs of a culture is pivotal for nurses and health care providers. Beyond the race and ethnic classification that usually comes to mind when cultural diversity is discussed, other types of cultural diversity such as gender and organization affiliation warrants attention. In the Veteran’s Administration (VA) health system the unique veteran culture (specifically combat veteran) and the minority group of woman veterans present unique challenges as health disparities and special needs are evident within these groups. Cultural competence, the veteran culture, and minority female veterans will be discussed.
Person-centred care sees patients as equal partners in planning, developing and accessing care to make sure it is most appropriate for their needs. It involves putting patients and their families at the heart of all decisions. Person-centred care aims to be user focused, promote independence and autonomy, provide choice and control and be based on a collaborative team philosophy. It takes into account service users' needs and views and builds relationships with family members. Person-centred care involves: • Compassion, dignity and respect – these are the essential foundation for the greater involvement of people in their own care.
An important part of their role is to promote the inclusion of patients, communities and other stakeholders in the planning and delivery of health and social care services, including scrutinising any proposals to change services. There are also local patient/service user involvement networks which provide a mechanism for patients and clients to be involved in the scrutiny and
It is in part due to the lack of education about the risks of obesity and its associated diseases and absence of a healthcare center, that Odenton is threatened by this epidemic. Although the community has not been fully hit by this epidemic, it soon will experience an issue if nothing is done to prevent it, historical data and correlative evidence has shown that substance abuse and subsequently, the population and poverty level will be on the rise.

As obesity and its effects gain awareness, Americans are making more efforts to encourage a healthy lifestyle. Many restaurants are incorporating healthier choices into their menus and “policy-makers are taking action to protect children from the fast-food trend” by limiting “food advertising aimed at children” (“Fast Food”). In 2004 the health campaign Verb was launched, using boldface names to promote physical activity and healthy decision-making. Unfortunately, Verb was terminated in 2007 due to a lack of funds (Kluger 227). The problem with the current endeavors, then, is that they are not void of any possible defects.
Communication is essential and is used to meet needs of all children. It is a basic requirement of my job role to communicate with individuals and their families, other members of staff on a daily basis. Explain why it is important to observe an individual’s reactions when communicating with them. Observing individuals helps us learn about their needs, how their feeling, what they lie/dislike, what they enjoy doing in certain activities.

With a little time spent on researching healthy foods and noticing the vast difference between healthy, organic products and mass produced, saturated products, you now know what items to choose from. Instead of picking the family size Doritos bag, you opt for the gluten free rice crackers. By this first step you could go on to having a weekly workout routine with your diet and not only battle obesity, but defeat it. Obesity is claimed as a disease and is toppling our health care system, thus our government needs to abolish this claim and focus on promoting healthy lifestyles and alleviating the cost burden on hospitals and taxpayers.

Ludwig and Nestle states in article Can the Food Industry Play a Constructive Role in the Obesity Epidemic?, “Far greater profits come from highly processed, commodity-derived products-fast food, snack foods, and beverages-primarily composed of refined starch, concentrated sugars, and low quality fats” (1809). I believe that the corporations can if they really want to send the right message to their consumers. Some corporations actually do promote healthy eating habits to their consumers when they come to the fast food corporations. The corporations started to promote healthy eating more after many research have been done to prove how bad fast food has been towards its consumers. Ludwig and Nestle expresses, “Research links frequent consumption of highly processed foods to weight gain and increased risk for diet-related diseases” (1809).
