HCS 316 Week 5 Final Paper\t\u00a0\tFinal Paper. Due by Day 7. Culture plays a profound role in the health and healing beliefs and practices of people from all walks of life. This is especially true in times of birth and of death. In this paper, you will examine the array of cultural constructs that influence beliefs and thus behavior related to a health care situation.\tBegin by selecting a cultural group that has been covered in this course. Then, submit an eight- to 10-page research paper containing a minimum of six scholarly sources addressing the following case scenario:\t\u00a0\tAn African American\/Black man accompanies his 25-year-old Muslim wife to the emergency room. The woman is concerned about severe pains and abdominal cramping she is experiencing. A doctor’s examination finds that the woman is suffering from an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is one in which a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, usually in a fallopian tube. Ectopic pregnancies cannot continue to term. The developing cells must be removed to save the mother’s life.\t\u00a0\tThe doctor explains the diagnosis to the couple and outlines the following medical treatment plan: Insertion of an intravenous (IV) line, administration of pain medication, and surgical intervention. The physician explains that the surgery will consist of the removal of the developing cells with the potential need for blood product administration, and the administration of IV antibiotics. When the couple begins to refuse surgery based on their cultural and inherent religious beliefs, the doctor explains that an ectopic pregnancy is considered an emergency procedure and must take place within the hour.\u00a0\t\u00a0\tGiven their cultural beliefs,\t\u00a0\tExplain how the couple is likely to respond to the diagnosis and the medical treatment plan.\t\u00a0\tConsider the following when formulating your response:\t\u00a0\tDescribe the cultural constructs (conceptual framework) in this scenario that maybe in conflict to the Western medical constructs regarding birth.\t\u00a0\tDescribe the potential cultural constructs (conceptual framework) of this couple in relation to death.\t\u00a0\tDescribe the cultural constructs of this couple regarding illness and disease.\t\u00a0\tInfer the health and healing traditions that this couple may employ based on this scenario.\t\u00a0\tExplain the implications of this cultural intervention for this population.\t\u00a0\tExplain the implications of this intervention to the Western medical establishment.\t\u00a0\tExplain how the medical team might consider responding after hearing the couple’s concerns.\t\u00a0\tConsider the conceptual framework of the health care providers when formulating your response:\t\u00a0\tExplain what is causing the pain and suffering in the ectopic pregnancy.\tAssess whether one person’s health and well-being are taking a higher priority over another person’s health and well-being (i.e., mother and baby).\tDescribethehealthcareprovider’sculturalconstructinrelationtothismedicalscenario.\tExplain what the medical model concluded is necessary for this patient’s situation.\to Describe the potential outcomes for the patient and the medical team of not delivering culturally appropriate care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
