Introduction

Sociology is interested in better understanding the social contexts of our social lives. Much of what we experience in life is impacted by the culture in which we live. The ways of life found around the world differ, not only in forms of dress, preferred foods, and musical tastes, but also in family patterns and beliefs about right and wrong. These differences can be attributed to culture—our collective beliefs, values, and objects. While we oftentimes see names as a reflection of who we are as individuals, they are the product of larger social forces. Using your sociological imagination, you can reflect on your name and how it is impacted by culture.

Note: Many resources will be coming from The Society Pages blog. While it is good to question the validity of most blogs, The Society Pages contains blog posts from experts in the field of sociology and thus have higher validity.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 4: Analyze the influence of culture on both the individual and society.
  • Describe how your name is shaped by the social world around you.
  • Examine the role of culture in naming.

  • Discuss the influence of social change regarding how we understand names.
• Competency 6: Compose text that articulates meaning relevant to its purpose and audience.
  • Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.

This assessment requires you to do some research on your name. How popular was your name when you were born? What does your name mean? Based on what you learned from your research, discuss your own name. How is something as simple as a name shaped by the social world around us? How has your name been impacted by time period, culture, your gender, et cetera? How might your name be different if you had been born one hundred years earlier? Why?

Mucor is a mold that causes a serious fungal infection. Mucormycosis most commonly affects the sinuses or lungs and affects people with weakened immune systems.  It infects the sinuses or lungs after inhaling fungal spores from the air, or can enter the skin through a cut, scrape, burn, or other skin injury.  This group of fungi lives in most soil, especially decaying leaves, composite piles, or rotten wood.  People come in contact with this frequently but may do not often develop mucormycosis unless they are immune compromised, then the fungi gets into their sinuses or lungs, develops an infection and spreads to other areas of the body and they are unable to fight it off (Cdcgov. (2015)).  The infection starts with signs of a fever, cough sometimes with dark or bloody sputum, and shortness of breath, it then progresses and rapidly multiplies in blood vessel walls.  When the fungus reaches the alveoli in the lungs, it travels into the spaces between the cells and the connecting pores.  The immune system is then triggered to send the white blood cells (neutrophils) to try and fight off the invasion of the fungus.  The neutrophils then try to do their job while at the same time are releasing cytokines which activate the immune system.  This is when the pneumonia sets in and just continues to take over as the alveoli fill with fluid leaking from the surrounding blood vessels which results in impaired oxygen transportation (Wikipediaorg. (2018)).

Medical/Nursing interventions:

1)      Educate the patient on the importance of taking their medication as prescribed and to finish the entire dose.

2)      Apply Oxygen as needed to help ease the symptoms of dyspnea

3)      Control any underlying immune compromised condition if possible

The attending physician will prescribe an antifungal treatment for mucormycosis. Prescription antifungals will be used such as amphotericin B, posaconazole or isavulcaonazole (CDC, 2015). Antifungal therapies can be administered IV and oral depending on the medication. Treatment can also involve surgical debridement of the infected area. The chest X-ray in the case study shows areas in the lungs that are infected and potentially necrotic, requiring surgical intervention. Lastly, appropriate treatment of any other debilitating diseases should be addressed, such as diabetes and infections, other than mucormycosis.
