Discussion: Obesity: A Global Health Concern – 2025

  

Obesity is a continuing challenge for citizens and health care providers in the United States, as you likely know. Obesity can lead to numerous chronic health problems, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Childhood diabetes is also increasing at a disconcerting rate, which will lead to an increased health care burden within a few short years. Current estimates set the cost of obesity on the U.S. health care system at $147–$210 billion per year (The State of Obesity, 2016). Think about this week’s media as you take a moment to consider obesity as a burgeoning global challenge.

To prepare for this Discussion:

· Compare rates of obesity in the United States to other developed and also developing countries. Think about how health issues resulting from obesity compare as well.

· Reflect on health promotion and prevention strategies that nurses can implement.

· Contemplate the ethical, cultural, economic, political, and environmental issues a nurse should consider when developing a primary obesity health prevention strategy.

INSTRUCTIIONS FOR DISCUSSION

-Post an obesity health promotion and prevention strategy a nurse could implement for a specific cultural group in the United States. 

-Then, modify your message for use in one other country, being sensitive to the cultural nuances of the country you select. 

-Describe why you chose to take the approach you did in your strategies and explain any challenges you anticipate a nurse may encounter when trying to implement these strategies.

-Support your response with references from the professional nursing literature.

Note Initial Post: A 3-paragraph (at least 350 words) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills, including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Avoid quotes; paraphrase to incorporate evidence into your own writing. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually ≤ 5 years old).

Nursing Assignment Help

Reply1 – 2025

My acculturation experience as a novice nurse

                      I recently decided to switch careers into nursing. I have always

been in the forensic or death industry. I had always wanted a be a nurse so I

decided to make the change. My acculturation experience was rather drastic

coming from the line of work that I was in before. I do not necessarily have to

be as gentle in the morgue.

                  For my first and current nursing job, I was hired as a per diem 

employee through an agency. I started in January of 2020.  My assignments 

are mostly one on one with a child at their school. I really love working with 

children, it is a field of nursing that most interest me. The biggest adjustment 

for me was a language barrier. Most of the schools that I was sent to had 

patients that spoke in Spanish as their primary language. Communication is a 

fundamental component of cross-cultural care encounters. (Maria  

Jirwe,  Kate Gerrish, and Azita Emami (2010)) This was a major adjustment 

for me because I had to use my judgement based off of facial expressions or 

translation from a teacher. I often had to wait for a teacher or staff member 

to become available to help me speak with my patient. In the end it became a 

routine for me. I learned who to ask and when to ask them. 

                   I also had schools where the children were non verbal or faced with 

learning disabilities. I had never worked with a disabled population before 

and I did not know what to expect. Children with intellectual and 

developmental disabilities (I,DD) may belong to a minority culture, the 

additional culture of disability, and a culture of poverty. (Nehring (2007)) I once had a patient who was autistic, 

non verbal, and diabetic. I was with this particular patient several times. He 

took some getting use to, but I found a way to communicate with him. 

Although he was non-verbal her was very comprehensive and helped me in 

his own way. 

                    When I got sent out on these assignments I went alone. I was not 

trained with a nurse by my side. I had the phone number of the supervising 

nurse if I had any questions. That was very new for me. I was use to a formal 

training time period in which I had to be comfortable with a skill before I was 

able to do it alone. I was very nervous when I got my first assignment. The 

agency assured me that it would not be a difficult case for my first time. They 

were right, my first cases was a very simple laid back case. I believe it is what 

gave me the confidence that I needed to continue doing the job. I can not tell 

the experience of a new nurse that has joined our staff because we all worked 

alone.

Describe your acculturation experience as a new graduate to the culture of the nursing profession. How is it similar or different from the acculturation experience of a new nursing colleague who joined your team within the past year?

Due to the global health crisis caused by COVID-19, I currently work at my family’s property management company. My opinions on the matter will be solely based on prior clinical experiences. My closest experience of being a new graduate nurse experiencing acculturation would come from my practicum at a medical-surgical unit at Homestead Hospital. At this facility, I was able to experience my closest experience of being a registered nurse in the workforce. To begin, one must have a better understanding of the topic and have a better understanding of what acculturation is. According to Lois Ritter, an expert in cultural and social anthropology, acculturation is best defined as the extent to which one cultural group adopts the beliefs and behaviors of another (Ritter, 2017 p. 10). The experiences of acculturation I had were firmly based on broader altruistic beliefs and general mannerisms. 

           Most of my experiences with acculturation of the nursing culture happened during my practicum. At the start of my internship, I was an enthusiastic student waiting to use what I learned throughout my schooling experience. The start of transitioning from a student to a professional made me think of the best ways to present myself to patients and fellow staff. This transition entailed providing an understanding environment for all patients, providing quality care, and, most importantly, being a patient advocate. During my first day, my preceptor helped me acclimate to the nursing realm. She helped explain the hospital systems and protocols; most importantly, she showed me the importance of cooperation and collaboration in the nursing team. Events during this period which helped me assimilate to nursing culture include: having multiple nurses teach me new techniques to perform specific tasks more quickly and effectively, observing other nurses assist backed up nurses with patients, witnessing these same nurses collaborating with coworkers on how to deal with certain patient conditions, and viewing these nurses play vital roles as patient advocates. During this experience, I met a new graduate from a different university completing her orientation training on the same medical-surgical floor. During my month stay, we discussed the differences between schooling to the real world of nursing. We discussed the importance of teamwork and collaboration and felt at ease, knowing we were in a supportive career. 

The nurses in that medical-surgical unit helped demonstrate the caring and understanding nature of the nursing culture; with their help, I was able to assimilate. My coworker was able to get a better understanding and feel for the culture as well. Ultimately, nurses strive to help their patients and colleagues. Their desire to help people, better known as altruism, is ultimately the true definition of nursing culture (Black, 2017 p. 53).
