Multicultural competence is still evolving within the field of human and social services as the constructs and paradigms that undergird it continue to evolve through practice and research. What started as a desire to recognize differences has moved toward the goal of understanding the complex multiple identities, or intersectionality, that an individual may exhibit (Garran & Werkmeister Rozas, 2013). The goal of this course has been to increase your awareness of the need for culturally sensitive, ethical practice within the field, and also to present strategies and sources through which you might increase your knowledge and skills in this area.

As a result of its complexity, however, multicultural competence is necessarily a career-long journey. For this Discussion, you examine the progress you have made toward multicultural competence and areas for future professional development in this area. You also consider the immense potential for multicultural competency in human and social services to impact social change initiatives.

To Prepare:

• Reflect back on the assignments you have completed during this course. Think about what you have learned and what you need to continue to work on to be successful as a human and social services profession.
• Review the article “Cultural Competence Revisited” in this week’s Learning Resources.

Post an explanation of the areas you feel you need to develop in order to become more multiculturally competent and why. Finally, include an explanation of how multicultural competency relates to and impacts social change.

Please use the attached Sample Template to complete

Onychomycosis is an illness brought on by fungus which impacts the fingernails, primarily those of the foot. Although can easily infect other nails on a single foot after a while, the disease generally begins on among the huge toes. It’s typical for individuals who have onychomycosis to possess athlete ‘s feet in exactly the same period, and that is created by fungi, but which will in this instance would just impact the skin.

Most commonly, onychomycosis is left as an aesthetic modification of the nail, but often it makes persistent pain of hard fix. Thus, it’s ideal to identify the infection quickly and handle it.

Fluconazole is likewise used-to stop yeast infections in-patients that are prone to be infected since they’re receiving treatment with chemotherapy or maybe radiation treatment prior to a bone marrow transplant (replacement of diseased spongy tissue in the bones with good tissue) (Tchernev, et all, 2013). Fluconazole is owned by a category of antifungals called triazoles. It really works by reducing the development of the fungi that create the infections. Fluconazole is provided in capsules and in a suspension (liquid) for dental use. It’s normally taken with or perhaps with no food, after one day.

The dissemination of EBP results serves multiple important roles. Sharing results makes the case for your decisions. It also adds to the body of knowledge, which creates opportunities for future practitioners. By presenting results, you also become an advocate for EBP, creating a culture within your organization or beyond that informs, educates, and promotes the effective use of EBP.

To Prepare:

• Review the final PowerPoint presentation you submitted in Module 5, and make any necessary changes based on the feedback you have received and on lessons you have learned throughout the course.
• Consider the best method of disseminating the results of your presentation to an audience.

To Complete:

Create a 5-minute, 5- to 6-slide narrated PowerPoint presentation of your Evidence-Based Project.

• Be sure to incorporate any feedback or changes from your presentation submission in Module 5.

 Currently there are several states in the U.S that have enacted Death with Dignity Statutes. The first state to enact such a law was Oregon. These statutes were not enacted without controversy. For this week’s written assignment, research one of the states that enacted a Death with Dignity statute. In your paper, summarize the applicable statute.  Be sure to include information on how a patient would obtain the necessary means to end their life. For example, how do they qualify, what is the process to obtain the end of life medications, etc.? Share your thoughts about the Death with Dignity Statutes. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
