Write for your organization a 3–5-page impact report regarding the  health concerns of a new immigrant population. Describe the population’s  health concerns and issues, explain current pharmacological treatments,  and explain how culture and traditional practices may affect use of  pharmacology. Identify evidence-based strategies for the organization  and nursing staff to use to educate the population and promote health  and wellness.

Imagine the county health department notifies your organization that a  large number of immigrants are expected to be resettled in your area.  The organization, wanting to be prepared to handle any health concerns  of the population, tasks each department with readying for the influx of  immigrants. Your supervisor asks you to prepare an impact report on the  pharmacological needs of the population that can be shared with other  departments.

  1. Choose one of the global areas below as the area from which the population will be coming.      
    • Sub-Saharan Africa.
    • India.
    • China.
    • Dominican Republic.
    • Guatemala.
    • Jamaica.
    • Bangladesh.
    • Saudi Arabia.
    • Pakistan.
    • Mexico.
  2. Research the most common health concerns and issues for  immigrants from your chosen global area, the pharmacological treatments  that will likely be prescribed, and any cultural values or traditional  practices that may impact patient outcomes.

Requirements

Once you have identified the population you will be using for this assessment, include the following in your impact report:

  • Describe the health concerns and issues for the population.
  • Describe current pharmacological treatment regimens for the main health concerns and issues.
  • Explain any traditional beliefs and practices associated with the  health concerns and issues. Does the population engage in culturally  based methods of treating the health concern?
  • Explain how cultural values and traditional practices might  affect acceptance and use of prescribed pharmacological treatments. Be  sure to consider the relationship between quality patient outcomes,  patient safety, and the appropriate use of pharmacology.
  • Identify evidence-based, culturally sensitive strategies the  organization can use to educate the population about the correct use of  the pharmacology treatments.
  • Identify evidence-based, culturally sensitive strategies the  nursing staff can employ with the population to promote health and  wellness.

Write this assessment as an impact report formatted as other  reports of a similar nature in your organization or an organization with  which you are familiar. Include a title page and reference page and  follow APA guidelines for your in-text citations and references.

Psychological disorders, such as depression, bipolar, and anxiety disorders can present several complications for patients of all ages. These disorders affect patients physically and emotionally, potentially impacting judgment, school and/or job performance, and relationships with family and friends. Since these disorders have many drastic effects on patients’ lives, it is important for advanced practice nurses to effectively manage patient care. With patient factors and medical history in mind, it is the advanced practice nurse’s responsibility to ensure the safe and effective diagnosis, treatment, and education of patients with psychological disorders.

For this Discussion, you will select an interactive media piece to practice decision making when treating patients with psychological disorders. You will recommend the most effective pharmacotherapeutic to treat the psychological disorder presented and examine potential impacts of pharmacotherapeutics on a patient’s pathophysiology.

· Review this week’s interactive media pieces and select one to focus on for this Discussion.

·  

· Reflect on the decision steps in the interactive media pieces, and consider the potential impacts from the administration of the associated pharmacotherapeutics on the patient’s pathophysiology.

Post a brief explanation of the psychological disorder presented and the decision steps you applied in completing the interactive media piece for the psychological disorder you selected. Then, explain how the administration of the associated pharmacotherapeutics you recommended may impact the patient’s pathophysiology. How might these potential impacts inform how you would suggest treatment plans for this patient? Be specific and provide examples.
