Cases

J.R. is a nurse practitioner who serves an
urban Chinese community. The challenges she faces daily include coordinating
health care for the community members, fostering compliance with treatment
regimens, and teaching the community about health prevention and early
detection of diseases and conditions.
J.R. has learned that one of the main
reasons the community members do not adhere to their treatment regimens is
because of mistrust of Western medicine. Many of the patients are older
adults who rely on homeopathic treatments they learned in China as children.
These patients prefer to take Chinese herbs in lieu of prescription
medications. Additionally, these patients do not like to attend health
screenings or take part in immunization clinics because they do not believe
these measures are beneficial to their health.

L.W. is a nurse practitioner in an urban
community. Many of her clients recently immigrated to the United States from
various countries. She is challenged by the many different cultures she
encounters and the different values and beliefs they hold toward Western
medicine.
She is determined to earn her clients’
trust. She does this by providing health care services that are respectful of
each client’s health beliefs and practices and cultural needs. She knows she
must set aside her own values and beliefs to focus on what is important to
her clients in order for them to have successful outcomes.

D.H. is a nurse administrator at a large
primary practice. His duties include maintaining the nurses’ schedules to
keep within the facility’s budget; overseeing the hiring and training of
nurses; ensuring that the work environment for the nurses is safe; and
resolving any employment issues with the nurses that require disciplinary
action, termination, or reporting adverse nursing care to the state board.
One of his primary initiatives during the
nurses’ orientation is to reiterate the importance of incorporating the goals
of Healthy People 2020 into the nurses’ care.

Questions for the case

examples and share similar challenges you might have faced during your
practice.

Give at least two examples of emerging
populations in the United States and describe their cultural characteristics
that might interfere with their healthcare.
