The St. Fleur family is well respected in the Haitian community because they are religious with great moral values. They moved to the United States because of political issues in Haiti. Ronald, the youngest son of this family, is 27 years old and lives at home with his mother and father. Recently, he began having fevers and subsequently developed pneumonia. He was admitted to the hospital, where laboratory tests were HIV positive. Ronald was in shock when the doctor informed him that he was HIV positive. He confessed to the doctor that he was gay, but he could not tell his family. He said that he did not want to bring shame to the family. Because he couldn’t be in a formal relationship disowning to his family and the Haitian community’s view of homosexuality, he has been very promiscuous over the years.

  1. What are Haitians’ views of homosexuality?
  2. If Ronald’s parents were to learn of his positive HIV status, how might they react if they are religious and traditional?
  3. Identify three major culturally congruent strategies a healthcare provider can implement to address HIV prevention practices in the Haitian community?

Submission Instructions:

  • Your initial post should be at least 750 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.

Requirements: at least 750 words

Answer preview

As a healthcare provider considering implementing HIV prevention strategies in this community, it is vital to learn the culture of the community concerning health and treatment. The Haitian community is culturally based; therefore, understanding their approach toward health and treatment will play an important role in devising the most effective prevention practices (Weber, 2018). For example, the Haitian community believes that Vodou is the cause of diseases and suffering. The first culturally based intervention will be to comprehend the Haitian cultural approaches to health from communication with different people in the community. Learning from community heads, women, and family heads will provide information the healthcare giver must integrate when formulating HIV prevention practices. After learning the different facets of the culture, educating the members regarding HIV, how its contracted, treatment, and prevention follows. Devieux et al. (2015) recognize that the roles of community and family heads in the administration of information will help the health care provider use their help in successfully transmitting information on HIV education.

Health services continue to affect the gross domestic product, and this dramatic transformation has great demands on each dollar spent to deliver patient-centered products. Health care marketing must be repeatedly applied and practiced strategically to include environmental dimensions, such as technology, socioeconomics, competition, and regulatory.

In today’s global economy, investors and potential entrepreneurs must tap into the so-called “unexplored” market. In this aspect, health care establishments must use marketing, advertising, as well as sales strategies when pursuing new customers. For example, suppose a health care investor wanted to build a small hospital in a rural community—this would entail exploration and logistical experimentation to determine who will patronize the facility. In an impoverished neighborhood, the feasibility of having lucrative profits may see diminishing returns, and so the venture may be not worth the effort. Also, suppose that the potential investor wants to sell mosquito deterrents (such as bedside netting in malaria-infested regions of Asia or Africa). In that case, it would be wise to investigate the number of beds that are in the village, and who would be willing to purchase them. These activities consider the investor portfolio, as well as the feasibility of marketing and selling the product. Such exploration also examines competitors, cultural differences, and—most important—identification of the customer.

Using the health care organization you identified in the learning activity last week, determine its product development practices. Use the concepts from previous weeks to substantiate information, as needed. You may develop the discussion based on the ideas presented here, but feel free to inject any relevant marketing strategy that you believe might support your presentation.

Write a 3–4 page paper in which you:

  • Justify the purpose of the selected health care establishments’ product(s) / service (s) and their associated life cycle(s).
  • Suggest one strategy to improve the marketing mix of the selected health care establishment. Support your strategy by highlighting one benefit of portfolio analysis and providing two examples that display differential advantages.
  • Discuss the impact of possible economic decline on product-market expansion and how it can affect business planning based on global operating environment.
  • Assess the importance of technology in providing patients with clear and accessible information about health care organizations and the product(s)/service(s) that they provide.
  • Use 3–4 sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

  • Propose product development strategies for a health care organization that impact the marketing mix, the use of technology, and marketing research.

Marketing predominantly focuses on placing the right product or service in the right place, at the right price, and at the right time. At face value, this might appear easy to achieve. However, this assumption is flawed, considering that healthcare organizations must conduct extensive market analysis to establish what customers want (Thabit & Raewf, 2018). Once customer needs and preferences are determined, healthcare organizations should develop a product or service that adds value to customers’ lives by ensuring it satisfies their needs and preferences (Thabit & Raewf, 2018). Furthermore, this product should be sold at a price the target customers can afford. Generally, the terminology “marketing mix” is a phrase used to

Health promotion plan

/in /by

Develop a hypothetical health promotion plan, 3-4 pages in length, addressing a specific health concern for an individual or a group living in the community that you identified from the topic list provided.

  • Bullying.
  • Teen Pregnancy.
  • LGBTQIA + Health.
  • Sudden Infant Death (SID).
  • Immunization.
  • Tobacco use (include all: vaping, e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, and smoking) cessation.

Introduction

Historically, nurses have made significant contributions to community and public health with regard to health promotion, disease prevention, and environmental and public safety. They have also been instrumental in shaping public health policy. Today, community and public health nurses have a key role in identifying and developing plans of care to address local, national, and international health issues. The goal of community and public health nursing is to optimize the health of individuals and families, taking into consideration cultural, racial, ethnic groups, communities, and populations. Caring for a population involves identifying the factors that place the population’s health at risk and developing specific interventions to address those factors. The community/public health nurse uses epidemiology as a tool to customize disease prevention and health promotion strategies disseminated to a specific population. Epidemiology is the branch of medicine that investigates causes of various diseases in a specific population (CDC, 2012; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).

As an advocate and educator, the community/public health nurse is instrumental in providing individuals, groups, and aggregates with the tools that are essential for health promotion and disease prevention. There is a connection between one’s quality of life and their health literacy. Health literacy is related to the knowledge, comprehension, and understanding of one’s condition along with the ability to find resources that will treat, prevent, maintain, or cure their condition. Health literacy is impacted by the individual’s learning style, reading level, and the ability understand and retain the information being provided. The individual’s technology aptitude and proficiency in navigating available resources is an essential component to making informed decisions and to the teaching learning process (CDC, 2012; Healthy People 2030, n.d.).

It is essential to develop trust and rapport with community members to accurately identify health needs and help them adopt health promotion, health maintenance, and disease prevention strategies. Cultural, socio-economical, and educational biases need to be taken into consideration when communicating and developing an individualized treatment and educational plan. Social, economic, cultural, and lifestyle behaviors can have an impact on an individual’s health and the health of a community. These behaviors may pose health risks, which may be mitigated through lifestyle/behaviorally-based education. The environment, housing conditions, employment factors, diet, cultural beliefs, and family/support system structure play a role in a person’s levels of risk and resulting health. Assessment, evaluation, and inclusion of these factors provide a basis for the development of an individualized plan. The health professional may use a genogram or sociogram in this process.

What is a genogram? A genogram, similar to a family tree, is used to gather detailed information about the quality of relationships and interactions between family members over generations as opposed to lineage. Gender, family relationships, emotional relationships, lifespan, and genetic predisposition to certain health conditions are components of a genogram. A genogram, for instance, may identify a pattern of martial issues perhaps rooted in anger or explain why a person has green eyes.

What is a sociogram? A sociogram helps the health professional to develop a greater understanding of these factors by seeing inter-relationships, social links between people or other entities, as well as patterns to identify vulnerable populations and the flow of information within the community.

Preparation

The first step in any effective project or clinical patient encounter is planning. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to plan a hypothetical clinical learning experience focused on health promotion associated with a specific community health concern or health need. Such a plan defines the critical elements of who, what, when, where, and why that establish the foundation for an effective clinical learning experience for the participants. Completing this assessment will strengthen your understanding of how to plan and negotiate individual or group participation.

To prepare for the assessment, consider a various health concern or health need that you would like to be the focus of your plan from the topic list provided, the populations potentially affected by that concern or health need, and hypothetical individuals or groups living in the community. Then, investigate your chosen concern or need and best practices for health improvement, based on supporting evidence.

For this assessment, you will propose a hypothetical health promotion plan addressing a particular health concern or health need affecting a fictitious individual or group living in the community. The hypothetical individual or group of your choice must be living in the community; not in a hospital, assistant living, nursing home, or other facility. You may choose any health issues or need from the list provided in the instructions.

In the Assessment 4, you will simulate a face-to-face presentation of this plan to the individual or group that you have identified.

Please choose one of the topics below:

  • Bullying.
  • Teen Pregnancy.
  • LGBTQIA + Health.
  • Sudden Infant Death (SID).
  • Immunizations.
  • Tobacco use (include all: vaping e-cigarettes, hookah, chewing tobacco, and smoking) cessation. (MUST address all tobacco products).

Understanding the various behaviors associated with chimpanzees is vital. As such, this section of the paper will focus on their eating habits, social organization, reproduction, and their interactions with humans. Chimps predominantly consume leaves and fruits. Despite this, their diet will differ depending on their habitats and the seasonal availability of food (Pester, 2021). Like people, chimps are also omnivores, meaning they will sometimes consume some meat. They are also intelligent animals, considering they use not only various approaches to locate their food but also use different tools when doing this (Pester, 2021). Chimps have often been observed using tools that any other animal would not be able to use except for people. For instance, people have witnessed chimps using rocks to crack open nuts, removing leaves from twigs to help them collect termites from inside their mounds, and even crushing leaves and using them as sponges to clean themselves (Pester, 2021).

Meningitis is the swelling of the protective membranes that cover the spinal cord and brain. This inflammation is caused by viral or bacterial infection of the fluid surrounding the spinal cord and the brain (Oordt-Speets et al., 2018). Cancer, certain medications, and injuries can also cause the ailment. Viral meningitis is the most common form of the ailment. It is caused by non-polio enteroviruses (Kohil et al., 2021). For most cases, no specific treatment exists for the ailment since most of those with mild viral meningitis typically recover in seven to ten days without requiring therapy (Kohil et al., 2021). However, antiviral medications can treat viral meningitis caused by influenza and herpesvirus (Kohil et al., 2021). Meningitis can also be caused by bacteria (Oordt-Speets et al., 2018). This form of meningitis is quite severe, considering infected persons can die, with death happening within a few hours. Despite this, most infected individuals recover from the ailment but might have to deal with permanent

Different processes are used to diagnose UTIs. One of them is urinalysis. This process encompasses testing urine for red blood cells, white blood cells, and bacteria. The number of white and red blood cells in the urine is used to detect UTIs. The second process is urine culture, which determines the type of bacteria present in the urine (Medina & Castillo-Pino, 2019). This test is the most appropriate because it helps the health care practitioner determine the type of medication to administer. The most responsible organism that causes UTI is a microorganism called Escherichia coli (E. coli). This bacterium enters the urethra, causing inflammation and infection.

During HEENT assessment, the expected objective data include looking around skull that has no lesions, bumps, and masses. A facial examination reveals the patient’s facial expressions either during a touch. On the contrary, assessments of the neck show head positioning and its motion, while the external structures of the ocular will help reveal symmetry between the eyes. Based on the review I did, the objective data I gathered is that the eyes had no sign of redness, inflammation, or other anomalies. During the palpation assessment, I did not detect any soreness or lumps. Her head and neck exhibited a complete range of motion, and both pupils appeared normal and the same size. Her eyes normally respond to light, and the eye’s sclera appears white, with clear conjunctiva. Based on the ear assessments, her ears are equal in size, with no visual abnormalities. The tympanic membrane appears shiny, translucent and emits a pearly-gray color. She also has no hearing problems.
