Diagnosed with <br \/>metastatic breast cancer, Margaret\u2019s prognosis<br \/>is less than 6 months. Margaret\u2019s cancer <br \/>has metastasized to her ribs and liver and <br \/>often causes intense pa<br \/>in. Although Margaret <br \/>speaks freely of her impending death, her family<br \/>has expressed their discomfort at her <br \/>decision to secure hospice care. <br \/>Over the last 10 years, Margaret, a nurs<br \/>e, has practiced homeopathy (for herself <br \/>and others) and consults frequently with a <br \/>medical intuitionist. She follows the medical <br \/>intuitionist\u2019s recommendations to attenuate <br \/>her symptoms but avoids, when she can, the <br \/>traditional cancer pain<br \/>\u2013management therapies. <br \/>Medical staff and her family have entere<br \/>d into continuous discussions with her <br \/>about her lack of acceptance of traditiona<br \/>l medical approaches. Margaret remains <br \/>unconvinced of their value within her scheme <br \/>of care. Margaret main<br \/>tains a strong belief <br \/>in an afterlife, believing that<br \/>she will be reunited with <br \/>her husband. Margaret meditates <br \/>daily, calling upon her spiritual guides and angels for strength and peace in the dying <br \/>process. She often asks those around <br \/>her to join her during this time. <br \/>Study Questions <br \/>1. <br \/>What experiences have you had with patients of German descent? <br \/>2. <br \/>How does Margaret\u2019s German ancest<br \/>ry mold her beliefs about medical <br \/>treatment? <\/p>\n<p>3. <br \/>What Western medicine concepts <br \/>complicate the staff and family\u2019s <br \/>understanding of Margaret\u2019s self<br \/>-prescribed medical regimen? <br \/>4. <br \/>How do you, as a health-care prof<br \/>essional, feel about the use of <br \/>homeopathic remedies? <br \/>5. <br \/>What is your view of the use of<br \/>medical intuitionists and other non-<br \/>Western health practices? <br \/>6. <br \/>How do Margaret\u2019s health-care c<br \/>hoices differ or match your own? <br \/>7. <br \/>How do you deal with cultural health practices unlike your own? <br \/>8. <br \/>Discuss Margaret\u2019s desire to contro<br \/>l her life even through terminal illness. <br \/>9. <br \/>Relate Margaret\u2019s strong spiritual beli<br \/>efs in an afterlife to her ability to <br \/>cope with her impending death. <br \/>10. <br \/>Describe a plan of care that is cultu<br \/>rally sensitive to the patient and her <br \/>family. <br \/>11. <br \/>How can your knowledge of the German American culture positively <br \/>influence health outcomes for Margaret? <br \/>12. <br \/>Discuss the cultural filters you may <br \/>use as you Help Margaret in her <br \/>health-care decisions. <br \/>13. <br \/>Describe the enculturation you, as <br \/>a health-care professional, have <br \/>experienced and how this influences<br \/>your own health-care decisions. <\/p>\n<p>RISH CASE STUDY \u00a0<br \/>The O\u2019Rourke family lives on a small farm in Iowa and comprises David, aged 30; his <br \/>wife, Mary, aged 29; and two children: Bridge<br \/>t, aged 7, and Michael, aged 6. Both David <br \/>and Mary are second-generation Irish. Before<br \/>purchasing their farm 5 years ago, David <br \/>sold farm equipment in Ohio. The O\u2019R<br \/>ourkes are Catholic; Mary converted to <br \/>Catholicism when they married. <br \/>David, who works long hours outdoors, is<br \/>concerned about profitability from <br \/>his corn crop because of the unpredictable size of the harvest, and thus, his income <br \/>varies depending on the weather. Mary di<br \/>d not work outside the home because she <br \/>wanted to be with their children until they started school. However, because both <br \/>children are now school age, Mary has discus<br \/>sed with David the possibility of working <br \/>part time to supplement the family income. He<br \/>would prefer that she stay at home, but <br \/>Mary is anxious to return to the wo<br \/>rkforce and believes the timing is right. <br \/>Both David and Mary are happy with ju<br \/>st two children and do not desire more. <br \/>They use the rhythm method for family planning. <br \/>Eating a healthy breakfast is important<br \/>to the O\u2019Rourkes. Because eggs are <br \/>readily available on the farm, they have frie<br \/>d eggs with potato bread and juice at least <br \/>four times a week. Their main meal in the <br \/>evening usually includes meat, potatoes, and <br \/>a vegetable. David enjoys a <br \/>glass of beer with dinner. <br \/>David has been a little edgy lately becau<br \/>se of his concerns about the corn crop. <br \/>He admits to having some minor chest pain, wh<br \/>ich he attributes to indigestion. His last <br \/>visit to a physician was before their marri<br \/>age. Mary knows David is concerned about <br \/>finances and believes it would help if she had a job. <\/p>\n<p>Bridget and Michael spend <br \/>a lot of time outside playing and doing some minor <br \/>chores for their parents. Both children <br \/>enjoy school and are looking forward to <br \/>returning in the fall. Bridget is starting to<br \/>show concern over her appearance. She does <br \/>not like her red hair and all the freckles on he<br \/>r face. Her teacher has noted that Bridget <br \/>has trouble reading and may need glasses. <br \/>Michael wants to be a farmer like his Dad <br \/>but worries about his Da<br \/>d being tired at night. <br \/>The O\u2019Rourkes have not taken a vacati<br \/>on since they were married. They go to <br \/>the state fair in the summer, which is the extent of their trips away from home. They <br \/>are active in the church and <br \/>attend services every Sunday. <br \/>Study Questions <br \/>1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Describe the O\u2019Rourke family st<br \/>ructure in terms of individual roles. <br \/>2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Identify two potential health problems re<br \/>lated to the O\u2019Rourke<br \/>\u2019s dietary practices. <br \/>3. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Identify potential health-risk<br \/>factors for the O\u2019Rourkes as a family unit and for each <br \/>family member. <br \/>4. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Explain the relationship be<br \/>tween risk factors a<br \/>nd ethnicity specific<br \/>to the O\u2019Rourke <br \/>family and their Irish heritage. <br \/>5. <br \/>Describe culturally competent health-promotion strategies for the identified risk <br \/>factors for the O\u2019Rourke family. <br \/>6. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Describe the O\u2019Rourke family\u2019s fertility<br \/>practices.

Although they completed only gram<br \/>mar school in Italy, they speak English <br \/>and have little difficulty understanding mo<br \/>st verbal communication. They have a <br \/>daughter, Lucia, aged 25, and a son, An<br \/>thony, aged 28, who were born in this <br \/>neighborhood but now live in Manhattan. Both <br \/>children speak fluent Italian. Anthony is <br \/>an attorney and does not visit with his si<br \/>ster very often. Luci<br \/>a is a grammar school <br \/>teacher, married to an Italian man, Guido <br \/>Venetto, who recently immigrated from <br \/>southern Italy and is 10 years older than Lu<br \/>cia. Guido speaks mostly Italian at home but <br \/>does speak broken English. In addition to sm<br \/>oking two packs of cigarettes a day, Guido <br \/>is emotionally abusive to Lucia. He is ve<br \/>ry jealous and does not want Lucia to go out <br \/>after work with her friends or<br \/>to spend much time visiting with her parents. Lucia has <br \/>allergies, and the last time she visited the docto<br \/>r, he told her that her blood pressure was <br \/>elevated. She has noticed lately that, after st<br \/>anding all day at work, she often has swollen <br \/>ankles and leg pain. <br \/>Lucia\u2019s husband works 12 hours a day as a construction worker and expects her <br \/>to cook Old-Country\u2013style Italian food, which re<br \/>quires that she use a great deal of salt. <br \/>She is often depressed and feel<br \/>s isolated and powerless. She has been trying to have a <br \/>baby for 3 years. <br \/>Rosa comes to visit her daughter wh<br \/>en she can. She often brings homemade <br \/>manicotti or tortellini when she comes. She <br \/>is very concerned about Guido\u2019s behavior <br \/>toward her daughter but does not feel that <br \/>she can challenge Guido because he is the <br \/>capo di famiglia<br \/>. Rosa is concerned about Lucia\u2019s <br \/>swollen feet and suggests that she <\/p>\n<p>drink red wine and eat more garlic and dandeli<br \/>ons. She tells Lucia to pray to the Virgin <br \/>Mary to ask for help in conceiving a ch<br \/>ild and to make Guido treat her better. <br \/>Lucia and Guido attend the neighborhood Catholic Church on Sunday. Lucia <br \/>always wears the <br \/>cornicelli<br \/>around her neck that her mother gave her to protect her <br \/>from <br \/>il mal occhio<br \/>. Lucia says her faith and her fa<br \/>mily help her cope with life <br \/>challenges with <br \/>pazienza<br \/>. <br \/>Study Questions <br \/>1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Identify three problems and a <br \/>related plan of care for Lucia. <br \/>2.<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0Identify two health-teaching goals for this family that are congruent with family <br \/>order and rituals. <br \/>3.<br \/>\u00a0\u00a0Identify three socioeconomic factors that in<br \/>fluence the health of the Venetto family. <br \/>4. <br \/>How might the health-care provider involve <br \/>Lucia in a mutual-planning process for <br \/>her holistic health-care needs, <br \/>including mind, body, and spirit? <br \/>5. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Knowing that many first-generation Italia<br \/>ns generally mistrust health-care providers, <br \/>how would you encourage Lucia to enga<br \/>ge in health-promotion behaviors? <br \/>6. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Discuss at least two preventive health <br \/>maintenance\u2013teaching activities that respect <br \/>the folk practices used to treat illness in this family. <br \/>7. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Define the Italian\u2019s unique relationship w<br \/>ith food and discuss implications this could <br \/>have on the health of the Venetto family, particularly Lucia. <br \/>8. <br \/>Discuss the status and role of elderl<br \/>y Italians in the extended family. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>9. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Identify two practices common among Ital<br \/>ian women that might affect conception <br \/>and pregnancy. <br \/>10. \u00a0\u00a0Name two dietary health-car<br \/>e risks and two dietary health<br \/>-care assets for Italians. <br \/>11. \u00a0\u00a0What are some of the primary religious <br \/>practices and use of prayer for Italian <br \/>people? <br \/>12. \u00a0\u00a0Define the terms <br \/>capo di famiglia<br \/>, <br \/>il mal occhio<br \/>, and<br \/>pazienza<br \/>. <\/p>\n<p>More InformationLess Information<br \/>Close<\/p>\n<p>Enter the password to open this PDF file.<\/p>\n<p>OKCancel<br \/>File name:-<br \/>File size:-<\/p>\n<p>Title:-<br \/>Author:-<br \/>Subject:-<br \/>Keywords:-<br \/>Creation Date:-<br \/>Modification Date:-<br \/>Creator:-<\/p>\n<p>PDF Producer:-<br \/>PDF Version:-<br \/>Page Count:-<br \/>Close<\/p>\n<p>@media print { \u00a0\u00a0#printContainer div { \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0page-break-after: always; \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0page-break-inside: avoid; \u00a0\u00a0} } \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0#mozPrintCallback-shim { \u00a0\u00a0position: fixed; \u00a0\u00a0top: 0; \u00a0\u00a0left: 0; \u00a0\u00a0height: 100%; \u00a0\u00a0width: 100%; \u00a0\u00a0z-index: 9999999; \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0display: block; \u00a0\u00a0text-align: center; \u00a0\u00a0background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); } #mozPrintCallback-shim[hidden] { \u00a0\u00a0display: none; } @media print { \u00a0\u00a0#mozPrintCallback-shim { \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0display: none; \u00a0\u00a0} } \u00a0#mozPrintCallback-shim .mozPrintCallback-dialog-box { \u00a0\u00a0display: inline-block; \u00a0\u00a0margin: -50px auto 0; \u00a0\u00a0position: relative; \u00a0\u00a0top: 45%; \u00a0\u00a0left: 0; \u00a0\u00a0min-width: 220px; \u00a0\u00a0max-width: 400px; \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0padding: 9px; \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0border: 1px solid hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .5); \u00a0\u00a0border-radius: 2px; \u00a0\u00a0box-shadow: 0 1px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3); \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0background-color: #474747; \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0color: hsl(0, 0%, 85%); \u00a0\u00a0font-size: 16px; \u00a0\u00a0line-height: 20px; } #mozPrintCallback-shim .progress-row { \u00a0\u00a0clear: both; \u00a0\u00a0padding: 1em 0; } #mozPrintCallback-shim progress { \u00a0\u00a0width: 100%; } #mozPrintCallback-shim .relative-progress { \u00a0\u00a0clear: both; \u00a0\u00a0float: right; } #mozPrintCallback-shim .progress-actions { \u00a0\u00a0clear: both; } \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Preparing document for printing&#8230; \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a00%<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Create your APA formatted essay-style submission, with references, be sure to cite your sources and check your spelling.
