Question
Nursing
Select an ethnic minority group that is represented in the
United States (American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian American,
Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian, or
Pacific Islander). Using health information available from Healthy
People, the CDC, and other relevant government websites, analyze
the health status for this group.
In a paper of 1,000-1,250 words, compare and contrast the
health status of your selected minority group to the national
average. Include the following:
Describe the ethnic minority group selected. Describe the
current health status of this group. How do race and ethnicity
influence health for this group?
What are the health disparities that exist for this group?
What are the nutritional challenges for this group?
Discuss the barriers to health for this group resulting from
culture, socioeconomics, education, and sociopolitical factors.
What health promotion activities are often practiced by this
group?
Describe at least one approach using the three levels of
health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that
is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique
needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an
explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when
creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best
to support culturally competent health promotion for this
population? Why?
