Assignment Holistic Health Assessment

dwelling older people, is the article I chose to summarize. This study’s age range was 65-92 years old. This group included 17 different countries and four different ethnic groups: Anglo-Celtic, Mediterranean, Eastern European, and Asia/Pacific. The participants were asked about their beliefs about death and dying, telling the truth, advance care planning, and their preferences for end-of-life care in the article. The article breaks down the questions by ethnicity and also looks at how the participants responded as a whole (Ohr, Jeong, & Saul, 2017).

According to the study, 92 percent of participants believe that dying is a natural part of life, and 70 percent are comfortable discussing death. Almost half of those polled believed that death should be avoided at all costs. In terms of “truth telling,” 74 percent of participants wanted doctors to tell them they were dying, and 80 percent said they would inform their family. Sixty percent said they have considered what kind of medical care they would like when they die. 60% said they do not want to live as long as possible if they are on life support, breathing machines, brain dead, have a feeding tube, or are in severe pain. Almost 80% of the group agreed that being comfortable and pain-free was more important than living longer if they couldn’t be cured. Furthermore, 60% said they would rather be at home than in the hospital if they had an incurable disease (Ohr, Jeong, & Saul, 2017).

Week 5 Instructions Culture and Healthcare

Learning about culture is fascinating and enjoyable…but how does it relate to assessment? We want you to be able to consider the entire patient, including cultural aspects, because this is a HOLISTIC health assessment class. How will knowing about culture benefit the nurse? This week, find a professional article from the UTA library website or Google Scholar from the last 5 years that addresses cultural beliefs and health care in some way on the discussion board. Summarize/paraphrase the article, cite it using APA guidelines, and place the reference at the bottom of the page.

This should take no more than 2 to 3 paragraphs. COPY and PASTE your work into a discussion board entry—opening attachment after attachment quickly becomes tiresome. Put your name and the topic of the discussion in the title, for example, “Doe, Jane: Preterm birth and culture.” This week, you will earn points based on the rubric and instruction template by posting your summary and responding to two other students with a substantive comment.
