Discuss the role of health care in creating health equity

Discuss the role of health care in creating health equity. Explain why health care alone isn’t enough to create health equity.

Description: David R. Williams, Professor of Public Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, has been researching health inequities in the United States for two decades. In this video, he sits down with Don Berwick, MD, President Emeritus and Senior Fellow at IHI, to discuss the role of both health care and social determinants of health to create health equity.

 

Discussion Questions:

  1. After hearing Williams say that health care is important to health equity, how do you feel about your role in ensuring high-quality care to people who face barriers to good health as a result of social circumstances?
  2. What role do you think health care providers play in addressing the non-clinical determinants of health?
  3. Williams says early childhood development is critical to good health. How do you think health systems can promote early childhood development?

Principles of bio medic ethics

Hello professor and class, I hope all is well with everyone. The four principles of bio medic ethics are Autonomy, Justice, Beneficence, and Non-maleficence. These principles are important because they determine whether a medical practice is ethical. While all four are equally important, it is hard to accurately order them.

Depending on the case different principles will be prioritized as some, or maybe only one will be prominent in a particular situation (Grand Canyon University, 2019). Respect for autonomy is a principle that requires that we respect the decision made by a person. Medical staff attending to a patient must respect their autonomy and follow their directives’ amiss medical advice. (2) Non-maleficence is the principle that requires a person to cause no harm to another person. (3) Beneficence, this principle requires people to prevent injury to another person, and also to provide a balance, of benefits regardless of risk and cost. (4) Justice is a principle that refers to making things fair, by distributing the benefits, risks, and costs equally. (GCU. Edu n.d.).

Nursing knowledge and taking care of patients

Would like assistance in thoroughly answering these questions. My instructor told me I did not answer the question correctly or detailed. Please if you have read the book (I’m Here, Compassionate Communication in Patient Care by Marcus Engel) and know the nursing theories I would like help. My initial response to each question is below.

1. Marcus Engel described his experience as a patient in  I’m Here, Compassionate Communication in Patient Care. Consider how Patricia Benner’s From Novice to Expert Theory applies to Mr. Engel’s experiences.

2. Describe how the Benner’s theory related to Mr. Engel’s experience.

3. How would the care received by Mr. Engel have been improved by applying Benner’s theory?

 My initial response: 1. Marcus Engel described his experience as a patient in  I’m Here, Compassionate Communication in Patient Care. Consider how Patricia Benner’s From Novice to Expert theory applies to Mr. Engel’s experiences.

Patricia Benner’s From Novice to Expert theory is about understanding nursing knowledge and taking care of patients. Benner’s theory applies to Marcus Engel’s experiences because he was a patient. His nurse was able to show him compassion. The nurse had his physical, spiritual, and emotional needs in mind.

2. Describe how Benner’s nursing theory related to Mr. Engel’s experience.

Engel was initially treated as a novice patient by all the medical professionals he interacted with. Still, as his situation became more complicated, the treatment shifted to reflect his expertise.

3. How would the care received by Mr. Engel have been improved by applying Benner’s nursing  theory?

First, it would have helped the nurses caring for Mr. Engel make better decisions and be more effective in their practice. Nurses who are more experienced and knowledgeable would provide a higher quality of care to the patient. In addition, they would also be able to provide a higher level of support and guidance to nurses who are less skilled and knowledgeable, allowing them to develop their skills faster that would otherwise be possible.
