The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and understanding of a diversity of faith expressions; for the purpose of this course, the focus will be on the Christian worldview.

Based on “Case Study: End of Life Decisions,” the Christian worldview, and the worldview questions presented in the required topic study materials you will complete an ethical analysis of George’s situation and his decision from the perspective of the Christian worldview.

Provide a 1,500-2,000-word ethical analysis while answering the following questions:

1. How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the fallenness of the world?
2. How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of resurrection?
3. As George contemplates life with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian worldview inform his view about the value of his life as a person?
4. What sorts of values and considerations would the Christian worldview focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
5. Based on the values and considerations above, what options would be morally justified in the Christian worldview for George and why?
6. Based on your worldview, what decision would you make if you were in George’s situation?

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

Comment 1

Communication may be described as the process by which information, understanding as well as perception are transmitted from one person to the other as an integral part of a relationship. In nursing, communication is significant and patient care needs to be improved continuously (Huber, 2017). After having the idea of improving patient, I would gather and collect data first from the published trials with the current literature which support innovation. The data I have collected I would compile it in a PowerPoint presentation that includes research information associated with the idea. Then in a staff meeting, I would present my idea. This will help me because my fellow colleagues would assist me to edit the finding and adding more information to make it perfect. I would also have some members to support me so that we can form a team. This team will join me on the board where the upper management will view the presentation. This makes the idea more realistic and only a few people can resist the change. I would present the information to the upper management verbally to ensure that the project importance is understood. I would use the corporate social responsibility model which is reproductive, standardization as well as consistency. Once the trial runs effectively, I would develop another presentation containing the stated problem and statistical research. This information can be presented using the visual graphs as well as employee accounts of experience to ensure that the idea sounds beneficial to staff, budget as well as patients (Jones, 2015). Giving visuals and the actual accounts from the employees are important when influencing the change. 

Comment 2

Motivation is an essential part to everyday life, task completion and performance results. Two types of motivation to be discussed are intrinsic and extrinsic. “Intrinsic motivation is something internal, either primal (such as the need to eat) or learned (such as the knowledge of healthful eating). Extrinsic motivation is something external and may be both positive (such as rewards) or negative (such as punishment). Repeated exposure to extrinsic motivation may help create an intrinsic motivation. (Eggenberger, Sherman & Keller, 2014)

When dealing with intrinsic motivation and example that relates to me is that of knowledge of nursing skills. I placed a great deal of motivation into my everyday tasks as a nurse, from practicing proper infection control to medication management and administration. These tasks need to be completed and with precision at that. Extrinsic motivation is a little different, an example that pertains to be would be picking up overtime at work or covering shifts that need to be filled. Currently at my place of employment we are short staffed on our 11pm to 7am shift. My work is offering an incentive to those whom are willing to work of an additional $100 dollars per shift worked. This is a reward that motivated employees to pick up overtime and coverage. 

“In any setting, high-performance work teams rarely occur naturally. They must be created and managed. To instill effective teamwork into health care, leaders need to recognize and emphasize its importance. They play a key role in helping a team develop the ability to collaborate effectively, build relationships and trust, innovate, and achieve results at a consistently high level.” ( Repovich, 2013) Characteristic that are essential are communication skills, team work ethics and motivation.

 Cultural competency is a process that is learned and requires self-awareness, reflective practices, and knowledge of cultural issues (Ball et al., 2019).  Healthcare providers need to learn to be sensitive to a patient’s heritage, sexual preferences, socioeconomic situation, and ethnicity (Ball et al., 2019).  The purpose of this discussion is to explain the specific socioeconomic, spiritual, lifestyle, and cultural factors of a 32-year-old lesbian pregnant female, and to describe the issues that I would need to be sensitive too when interacting with this patient.

Lifestyle and Cultural Factors

 The specific socioeconomic factors for the 32-year-old lesbian pregnant female is unknown; however, there is a chance that the patient is at least in the middle class standing as she was able to provide a sperm donor for her pregnancy.  On the other hand, female couples are also usually on their own financially and medically regarding labs, ultrasounds, sperm, and professional expertise (Singer, 2012).  The spiritual factor is also hard to determine with this patient, but asking questions such as “Is there religion or faith which you partake in?” can be helpful in determining spiritual affiliation (Ball et al., 2019).  One lifestyle factor that is associated with this patient is that she is a pregnant lesbian.  I think that creating a comfortable environment and also learning new patterns of behavior and effectively applying them in the correct settings can help patients with trust (CDC, 2015).  According to Singer (2012), for lesbian women, trust is received when a healthcare professional has the philosophy to maintain inclusion and cultural sensitivity.

Sensitive Issues

 The two main sensitive issues to keep in mind with this 32-year-old lesbian pregnant women is her sexual orientation and pregnancy.  Both categories are considered to be sensitive because oftentimes, health care providers are usually considered heterosexisms, which means that they tend to see the world in the view of heterosexual terms and ignore homosexuality (Singer, 2012).  Therefore, as a medical provider, I need to remember to do the opposite of heterosexism and ask questions such as “Tell me the story of how you became pregnant, this question takes the providers assumptions out of the equation and allows for a deeper understanding” (Singer, 2012, p. 38).  The provider also needs to avoid hetero-assumptive dialogue and utilize open-ended questions, which allows the patient to open up about their sexual identity and family construct (Singer 2012). 

Five Targeted Questions

Tell me the story of how you became pregnant?

Is this your first pregnancy?

Any specific illnesses or problems regarding your current pregnancy?

Tell me family history regarding pregnancies?

When was your most recent pap smear and HPV test, and have you had any gynecologic abnormalities?

PART 1

The different culture of people leads to a change of team performance as some of the members in most of those teams are composed of different cultural background where each of them has to base his/her work as per the history of culture. Again, some of this participants differ in their traits as they may not share the same language and value difference hence fluctuate in their communication (Earley & Mosakowski, 2010). Another idea on which they differ is on their performance on issues of behavior, values and beliefs as some of the members might take duration before emulating some of the merits which may overwhelm their good performance outcome. Critically, conflicts that may arise based on opinions may diminish this team performance and decrease personal and direct process of interaction as each member has its cohesion which gives some of this indifference.

           There are several ways that a person can choose to focus during incorporation of a person who has a different culture in your team. Some of this ways may base on good capture to the essence of that person which is one of integrity that many communities focus as there is a communication barrier. In the same manner, one may feature on core values of that person which are on its beliefs and baseline of behavior and which explicitly define clear how the person behaves after being incorporated into the team. Also focus on customer interaction feedback and response as this issues might embody some of the decline changes which may undermine the manageability of credibility (Niebuhr, 2016). Ideally, if culture and values may not align then this issue can create business performance decline and suffer. It would be of importance to consider the beliefs that our new member in the team follows to make him/her align with the performance of the team.

PART 2

Your comment on the difficulties of communication among a diverse group is a very real issue. The differences in languages, accents and dialects can cause communication difficulties. Often a person from another culture may have communication apprehension. Communication apprehension, is defined as “an individual’s level of fear or anxiety associated with either real or anticipated communication with another person or persons” (McCroskey, 1977, p. 78). The leader’s responsibility in this situation would be to identify ways to help the person feel more comfortable and assisting assimilation into the group. According to Asherman & Bing (2010) ways to assist is to allow individuals who do not speak English as a first language more time to respond to the discussion. Due to communication apprehension, the leader can take written ideas after the meeting to avoid the need for the individual to talk to a group. Also teaching the team to speak distinctly and avoid the use of jargon is helpful. Paraphrasing and summarizing more in meetings will help to identify and clarify any miscommunications. While working with nurses from so many diverse cultures have you seen evidence of communication apprehension? If so, how did nursing leaders respond to communication apprehension?
