Access to healthcare further influences outcomes because it determines the availability and quality of care received. Cultural beliefs influence perceptions of health and illness, affecting how symptoms are recognized, when medical help is sought, and the types of treatments considered acceptable (National Institutes of Health, 2021). Access to healthcare determines the timeliness and quality of care, which are critical for positive health outcomes. Barriers to access can worsen health disparities (National Institutes of Health, 2021). To ensure that a client’s culture, beliefs, values, and access to care are respected and integrated into their care, healthcare providers can implement several interventions: 1. Cultural Competence Training: Educate staff on cultural diversity and sensitivity to better understand and respect patients’ cultural backgrounds. 2. Patient-Centered Communication: Engage in open dialogue with patients about their beliefs and preferences regarding treatment options. 3. Inclusive Decision-Making: Involve patients and their families in the care process, respecting their cultural practices and decision-making structures. 4. Language Services: Offer translation and interpretation services to overcome language barriers and ensure clear communication. 5. Collaboration with Community Leaders: Work with community figures to build trust and understand community-specific health needs. By implementing these interventions, healthcare providers can create a more inclusive environment that acknowledges and incorporates diverse cultural perspectives, leading to improved health outcomes and patient satisfaction (Health Policy Institute, 2018).

National Institutes of Health (NIH).   2nd peer post: Darrell Williams Mar 27, 2024 at 7:13 PM · Discuss the impact of culture, beliefs regarding health and illness, societal values and access to health care have on health outcomes. Something that I was horrified to take note of was the Vulnerability and Disease presentation. The slide on “Minorities & Health” showed, “In the US, infants born to African-American women are 1.5 to 3 times more likely to die than infants born to women of other races/ethnicity” (Poverty, vulnerability, & disease, n.d., slide 6). I believe that this is related to access to healthcare. The fact that this is noted in today’s society is horrifying. Communities have healthcare, and while not close, somewhere in the town or city, there are hospitals that can provide care. The broken system prevents a baby from receiving the healthcare that should be afforded to save life. Culture, beliefs, and values all contribute to health outcomes. The way that a family views healthcare can prevent anyone from that family from ever seeking out preventive care or care needed during a healthcare crisis. Societal values also dictate when or if people seek out healthcare. Societal values include the entire spectrum of individual and community behaviors, access, available funding, etc. Societal values encompass the whole picture of a person: how they act, live, where they live, eating habits, access to healthy foods, access to medical care, ability, and willingness to exercise. It is the big-picture view of all of the elements that contribute to the health outcomes of every individual. · What are some interventions you can implement in the clinical setting to ensure that a client’s culture, beliefs, values, and access to care are incorporated into their care as much as possible?  This is a topic that should be considered for every patient that we care for. Values, beliefs, and income are all components that must be viewed before prescribing medications, for example. While this is not something that nurses have to be concerned with, we can still ask physicians to prescribe generic drugs to assist the patient in being able to afford the medication. For follow-up appointments, for example, nursing can speak with the patient to see what time of day may allow the patient to return for a follow-up if living a distance from the facility and taking public transportation. Being scheduled later in the day will allow the patient sufficient time to get to the appointment. Asking questions when working with patients will enable nurses to help set the patient up for success, given the patient’s circumstances and willingness to do whatever may be required. · Use this week as an opportunity to apply this content in practice to achieve the outcome of providing patient-centered care. Find an opportunity to assess a client’s culture, beliefs, values, and access to care (or, if you are not currently practicing in direct patient care, you can determine these with a co-worker or someone in your community). You can also reflect on a previous experience in practice (particularly in your replies to peers). I questioned an inmate who was being released from jail. A medical provider was seeing him in jail, and the medications prescribed by that provider were released to him. I asked him what barriers he may experience in the continuation of the medications that he had been prescribed, particularly his psych medications. He answered that he would like to continue to take them. With that said, he was released with more than two weeks of his medications, and he agreed that if I called in those prescriptions to the pharmacy near his house, he would pick up a free month of medications. I called in those prescriptions, and the county pays for them to help bridge the gap from release to re-entry into the community. The patient has significant psychiatric problems. I asked the patient if he felt that he was doing better while taking the medications. He answered that he feels much different than when he came to jail. I talked to him about his ability to pay for the medicines and asked if he would have work after release. The patient said that he had reached out to his previous employer, and the employer agreed to take him back upon release. The patient worked in construction, which offers decent pay. Still, before the release, I contacted the case manager to see if he could get a Medicaid application done before leaving to ensure he would have the means to pay for the medications. The Medicaid application was accepted, and he was enrolled as a recent release from jail. The patient commented that the psych provider helped him immensely and that he wanted to continue working with a provider. I made a call to a psych provider in a clinic approximately half a mile from his home, sent over his records, and set up an appointment for him to have his first visit with the provider. I was able to find out a great deal about his limitations, thoughts regarding treatment, ability to eat, etc, and the patient was thankful for the extra effort that was placed on a successful release.

I need some help! Part 1 Discussion Question Chapters 3 and 4 of Ross, et al (2022) textbook, you learned about how to analyze financial statements and how to interpret and use them for long-term financial planning. Consider the following question: In recent years, several manufacturing ­companies have reported the cash flow from the sale of Treasury securities in the cash from operations section of the statement of cash flows. What is the problem with this practice? Is there any situation in which this practice would be acceptable? Part 2 : Planning and Growth Based on the content covered in Week 4 and Chapters 3 and 4 of the Ross, et al. (2022) text, students learned about financial statement analysis and long-term financial planning and growth. Students should address the following: Review “Mini Case: Planning for Growth at S&S Air” in your textbook on page 129, also found at the end of Chapter 4 in your textbook. Then, answer the following questions: 1. Calculate the internal growth rate and sustainable growth rate for S&S Air. What do these numbers mean? How do you know? 2. S&S Air is planning for a growth rate of 12% next year. Calculate the EFN for the company assuming the company is operating at full capacity. Can the company’s sales increase at this growth rate? Explain your reasoning. 3. Most assets can be increased as a percentage of sales. For instance, cash can be increased by any amount. However, fixed assets must be increased in specific amounts because it is impossible, as a practical matter, to buy part of a new plant or machine. In this case, a company has a “staircase” or “lumpy” fixed cost structure. Assume S&S Air is currently producing at 100% capacity. As a result, to increase production, the company must set up an entirely new line at a cost of $5,000,000. Calculate the new EFN with this assumption. What does this imply about capacity utilization for the company next year? 4. Consider how long term planning and growth is affected by location in the world. Discuss how you would advise S&S Air about planning and growth in your own country and expansion into other countries? Paper should be 4-6 pages and include all calculations referenced in the assignment questions.

6 posts.  You can find the requirements in the file. Requirement: You will write 3 posts about whichever game you play/watch from 1990 to 1999 and 3 posts about whichever game you play/watch from 2000 to 2009. These games need to be played/watched for at least 15 minutes. Each post must be at least 100 words in length discussing the interview itself, your own thoughts and feelings about what the developer shared, and if you have any personal experiences with the game. Each post must include the following at the top of the post: · Game Name · Development Studio/Publisher · Release Year · System Released On Include at least 1 photo, videos, or quotes in your post and replies. If any quotes or replies are included in your post, please include links to their sources at the bottom of your post. Example#1: Game: Metal Gear Solid Developer: Konami/Hideo Kojima Year: 1998 System: Playstation For this journal, I decided to take a look at the original Metal Gear Solid given all the hype I heard about Kojima without experiencing his first magnum opus. The game itself is a stealth/sorta action game in which you play as Liquid Snake (or Solid, I’m confused) as he infiltrates government-esque buildings. The gameplay itself was really fun, especially in comparison to the 70’s/80’s games I played before. The 3d graphics is a wonder to see given the mostly 2D games in the 80s, also the ability to switch perspectives from a top-down view to look around a corner was a cool mechanic that I don’t think they had the technology to fully implement a decade earlier. I think something that stood out to me in comparison to past decades though was the emphasis on story. Metal Gear has a great focus on a narrative and uses gameplay to back it up. The voice acting is also really on point compared to the original “wahoooo”’s we see in Mario or the crunchy German we see in Castle Wolfenstein. It seems that there was a push for this game to be more cinematic in comparison to the past and I think it does that well. Example#2: Game: Sly Cooper and the Thieviius Raccoonus Developer: Sucker Punch Productions Year: 2002 System: Playstation 2 In Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, you play Sly Cooper as he attempts to retrieve the Thievius Raccoonus, a book that’s been passed down for generations holding his family’s thieving secrets/skills, from the Fiendish 5. The gameplay revolves around stealth and action mechanics as you explore/infiltrate the bases of each of the Fiendish 5, facing them after completing various levels. Levels are usually organized as getting from point A to point B with obstacles and guards in the way, utilizing different skills learned by collecting clue bottles hidden across each level and defeating bosses. Alongside these levels, each world includes 1-2 minigame levels that vary between Bentley (the turtle “brains” of the operation) hacking into enemy systems or Murray (the hippo “brawns” of the operation) doing races in their van. Overall, it’s still a really fun game that combines a unique aspect that we’ve seen previously in stealth games, like Metal Gear Solid, with collectible/platforming games, like Banjo-Kazooie, while putting its own cartoonish spin on it with its character dynamics and minigames. In my experience playing it again, it still holds up as a fun game despite the 20ish years it’s been out for. Despite that, and being an iconic game/mascot of PlayStation back in the 2000s, it’s hard to access without a PlayStation 2 or 3 and is only playable through streaming it under an $80 subscription (or piracy). It’s sad to see such a well-known PlayStation game be restricted to players and goes to show a lack of game preservation or access that we have been able to see trend. image3.png image1.png image2.png image4.png
