The scenario I will be writing on is “A 14-year-old biracial male living with his grandmother in a high-density public housing complex”.

            Collecting patient data is a core step in the nursing process and healthcare professionals usually develop a relationship with their patients during the history and interviewing process ((Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, & Stewart, 2019). I will first introduce myself to the patient and establish privacy. When interviewing the patient effective communication is important. It is necessary to establish a positive patient relationship by ensuring courtesy, comfort, connection, and confirmation.

          Teenagers are exposed to many external and internal struggles and are expected to cope with hormonal changes, puberty, social and parental forces, work and school pressures, and other problems of life. During adolescence, individuals may also be exposed to risky behaviors and need help in making the right decisions. As such, teenagers may be unwilling to speak with healthcare providers. There is, therefore, the need to establish privacy and providers must be sensitive to the needs and situation of the patient. Providing a safe place for the adolescent to speak freely is a goal of the healthcare provider (Ball et al., 2019). 

            The health assessment will be from head-to-toe and going through each system of the body. During the interview process, I will ask the patient open-ended questions regarding his health, to allow him to share more information, including his feelings, attitudes, and understanding of the subject. Examples of open-ended questions that may be asked to a 14-year-old include; 

Tell me about your living situation, and how are things at home?
Tell me about your friends, and what activities do you do with your friends?
What do you like or don’t like about your school?

          Risk assessment explores the behavioral and lifestyle changes and influences decisions regarding treatments (Wu & Orlando, 2015). Specific screening tools have been developed for gathering the psychosocial history of adolescents (Sullivan, 2019). The screening tool for adolescent issues is the Home, Education/Employment, Eating, Activities, Drugs, Sexuality, Suicide/Depression, and Safety (HEEADSSS). This interview format is flexible and designed for adolescents because physical and social threats are common during adolescent age.

 PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of 10 slides (No counting first and reference page). Preparation for the presentation will include synthesizing the information from readings regarding the chosen culture, the scientific literature, Internet resources such as CDC, Department of Health, Census Beaurea or others reliable government websites (wikippidia and other websites will not be accepted as references), and other sources. 

Please post by the end of week 2 in the forum title “Cultural presentation” in the discussion tab of the blackboard the cultural group that you choose.

This presentation should address the following: History, values and worldview, language and communication patterns, art and other expressive forms, norms and rules, lifestyle characteristics, relationship patterns, rituals, degree of assimilation or marginalization from mainstream society, and health behaviors and practices. In addition to describing these characteristics, the presentation must include (a) a comparative and contrast analysis of common characteristics and distinguishing traits between the groups,(and (b) a discussion of differential approaches needed by health care professionals. Grades will also be based on the overall quality of the professional presentation including handouts and references. The presentation is due by the end of Week 8.

NOTE: I need a positive comment about the post bellow

                                                             Main Post

According to neuroscience, psychotherapy is purely biological treatment. Psychotherapy addresses the way the brain develops, matures and functions. It bases its operations on the principles of both genetics and evolutionary adaptation of the brain. In its applications, psychotherapy aims at deactivating maladaptive mappings of the brain and instils positive and constructive pathways (Javanbakht and Alberini, 2019). It doesn’t act or involve one receptor or molecules and few modulators rather it interacts with all biological phenomena involving complex, interconnected responses of the brain. The profession deals with aligning the whole organism in the constructive pathways and thus must understand the biological principles playing on the organism. For instance, understanding g the functions of the brain are biological. (Fournier and Price, 2014). As the trillions of neurons connect, they map human experiences and memories. Neuronal connections form a large network of circuits in cortex, which collects and define human experiences in consciousness. The conscience forms symbolic forms in the brain. Psychotherapy is coherent with the genetics of individuals. It deals with the troublesome adjustments of the brain in a sequence of their evolution. Psychotherapy shuts down the mismanaged brain mappings and helps the brain to develop new constructive pathways. Our brain keeps track of our memories through a complex neuronal network that has billions and trillions of nervous connections. Interconnected loops of neurons make huge circuits that track and map in the structure of the cortex. As the environments change, all experiences are mapped in the brain as memories (Wheeler, 2014).

 Explain HOW Culture, Religion, and Socioeconomics might influence one’s perspective of the value of Psychotherapy Treatments.

 Culture has a strong impact on our interactions. Culture has a role in our understanding of health and the phenomenon of healing. Culture has a constructive role in framing assumptions within the psychotherapy experience. Different cultures perceive psychotherapy in different ways. In conventional psychotherapy experience, people have a social behavior of discussing their matters with a skilled professional. It involves mutual understanding, confidence, vulnerability, and the probability of change. The basics of psychotherapy in western culture emphasizes independence and self-development.

 Clients to process information and shape judgments use religions and spiritual beliefs. Religion has a major moral impact on behavior, emotions, thought processes, feelings, and experiences that are interconnected with the psychotherapy Knowledge into religion beliefs of the client is therefore important in driving therapeutic. A good therapeutic practice should promote good religious values, which will in turn promote positive belief system, mobilize hope and boost coping abilities of the client. This increase recovery progress and thus success (Holttum, 2014).

 Various aspects of socio-economic status (SES) affect psychotherapeutic success. Clinical reaction based on the socio-economic condition of individuals was not much explained in past but recent studies have proven the impact. The socioeconomic status of the patient has a role to change the perception of both patients himself and psychotherapist. The class or economic condition can affect of the patient’s active issues, main concerns, symptoms of condition and prognosis of ongoing psychotherapy. Clients treatment expectancy; offer social support which are key in overall predicting the client’s positive changes psychotherapeutic sessions.
