If there are clinics that are found in locations surrounding rural Africa, there are strong concerns that patients will be able to transmit their diseases to other people who are otherwise healthy. With the use of telemedicine, the patients and the health care providers can see each other through a confined space and there is ...

Interview with a pharmacist

Interview:

Apparently, over the counter medications are those that can be sold to the client without necessarily having any prescription by the provider. The Food and Drug Administration has been at the forefront in monitoring the adherence to issues of over the counter medications so that pharmacists do not sell other medications not classified as OTC. Similarly, the FDA has over time made changes and reviews on the regulations and rules that guide OTC medication sales (West, Wilk, Rae, Muszynski, Stipec, Alter & Regier, 2015). One of the emerging issues that have affected the pharmacists is the introduction of a ...

Health Care Provider and Faith Diversity: First Draft

This approach addresses the role that cultural and cares knowledge plays in trying to understand the differences which are present as far as patient care is concerned. By nurses having proper knowledge on how to properly incorporate healing and wellness and complying with any challenges that they are likely to face in the process, they will be better placed to address patient needs satisfactorily. Leininger’s Transcultural theory focuses on addressing the beliefs, values, and the practices that individuals involved in the ...

One of the notable aspects that the patient should understand is that pernicious anemia is a nutritional disorder which then implies that they can play a key role to its management.

The United States of America has witnessed increased cultural diversity in the last few decades. Unfortunately, research has indicated that there is great disparity in the quality of health care disseminated to different cultural groups in the society. Evidence is increasingly showing that people belonging to minority communities particularly receive less quality health care. Contrary to popular belief however, the low quality of health care among minority communities is not simply attributable to their economic status but can be attributed to an aggregate of several factors. Efforts aimed at eliminating these disparities should be focused on understanding cultural contexts ...
