This week we will learn to consider diversity when completing health assessments. Please read the directions of the assignment carefully before submitting your discussion post. Please indicate the group your were assigned to in the title of your post. This will enable your colleagues to easily identify patients different than they were assigned when they submit their response posts. Please do not provide a response post on the same patient even if it means you are responding to two different colleagues. Therefore, you should submit a main post and response posts for all three patient scenarios
To prepare:
Reflect on your experiences as a nurse and on the information provided in this week’s Learning Resources on diversity issues in health assessments.
By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned a case study by your Instructor. Note: Please see case study assignments below. Remain in the group you were assigned to in week 1.
Reflect on the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors related to the health of the patient assigned to you.
Consider how you would build a health history for the patient. What questions would you ask, and how would you frame them to be sensitive to the patient’s background, lifestyle, and culture? Develop five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.
Think about the challenges associated with communicating with patients from a variety of specific populations. What strategies can you as a nurse employ to be sensitive to different cultural factors while gathering the pertinent information?
By Day 3 of Week 2 (Wednesday)
Post an explanation of the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and other cultural factors associated with the patient you were assigned. Explain the issues that you would need to be sensitive to when interacting with the patient, and why. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient to build his or her health history and to assess his or her health risks.

Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
By Day 6 of Week 2 (Saturday)
Respond on or before Day 6 (Saturday) on 2 different days to at least two of your colleagues who were assigned a different patient than you. Critique your colleague’s targeted questions, and explain how the patient might interpret these questions. Explain whether any of the questions would apply to your patient, and why.
