Agencies and Who They Serve
For this discussion, review the various healthcare settings in your reading (such as

research the internet to identify a facility that represents your selected
healthcare delivery setting. Review their website and determine:
Location and size

Accreditation and awards
How long they have been serving their target population
Whether they are part of a system or a single institution
Are they for profit or not-for profit
The target populations they serve
The clinical and client services they provide
The type of staff who work in the setting
Contributions

healthcare setting, how their mission and values compare with the services they
provide and their target populations, the type of staff who work there, any
special or unique aspects of the healthcare setting, and your impression of the

In this
written assignment, you have the opportunity to share your thoughts about how
to deliver client-centered culturally competent care and work collaboratively
with others.
The Case of
Mrs. G.
Mrs. G. is
a 75 year old Hispanic woman who has been relatively well all of her life. She
had been married for 50 years and had five children. Her children are grown
with families of their own. All but one of her children live in other states.
Mrs. G.’s husband passed away last year, which was devastating for her. She had
been very close to him and relied upon him for everything. He was “the
life of the party” she always said and was a loving and caring man. Since
his passing, Mrs. G. has continued to live in the house they shared for 35
years. In the last month, Mrs. G. has fallen twice sustaining injuries, though
minimal. Her home health nurse comes weekly to check in on her. Mrs. G. likes
her very much and wishes she could come more often. Mrs. G.’s daughter who
lives in the next town over, has been worried and decided with the urging of
her siblings and the doctor to start looking for an assisted living facility
for her mother. She found one last week and talked with the Director who said
she would be happy to help in whatever way was best. The daughter decided to
tell her mother that it was time for her to move, so she can be cared for and
be safe. When she told her mother, Mrs. G. cried and said, “This will not
happen ever. I plan to stay in this house of loving memories for the remainder
of my life.”
In 3 – 4
pages answer the following questions:
How would
you best describe Mrs. G.’s feelings about her life, her family, her
traditions, and her future?
Did Mrs.
G.’s response to her daughter surprise you? Please explain your answer.
In what way
do you believe her culture might be influencing her decision?
If you were
Mrs. G.’s daughter what would you say to her that shows you are caring and have
compassion for her situation? What nonverbal communication would support that
level of communication?
Suppose
Mrs. G. stands firm about not leaving her house. What resources and
collaborations might be available and helpful so the daughter and other
healthcare providers can keep her mother safe and make the most effective
decision?

approach you can use to make decisions and take action. Your philosophy of
nursing should include your beliefs and attitudes about nursing, being a nurse,
your approach to caring for others. It can also include your attitudes about
working in healthcare facilities, working as part of a team, or even how you
feel about people in general.
Save a copy
of your philosophy as you will want to refer to it during your Program.

Module 08 Written Assignment – The Case of Mrs. G.: Client Centered
Communication and Collaboration
In this written assignment, you have the opportunity to share your thoughts about how
to deliver client-centered culturally competent care and work collaboratively
with others.
The Case of Mrs. G.
Mrs. G. is a 75 year old Hispanic woman who has been relatively well all of her life. She
had been married for 50 years and had five children. Her children are grown
with families of their own. All but one of her children live in other states.
Mrs. G.’s husband passed away last year, which was devastating for her. She had
been very close to him and relied upon him for everything. He was “the
life of the party” she always said and was a loving and caring man. Since
his passing, Mrs. G. has continued to live in the house they shared for 35
years. In the last month, Mrs. G. has fallen twice sustaining injuries, though
minimal. Her home health nurse comes weekly to check in on her. Mrs. G. likes
her very much and wishes she could come more often. Mrs. G.’s daughter who
lives in the next town over, has been worried and decided with the urging of
her siblings and the doctor to start looking for an assisted living facility
for her mother. She found one last week and talked with the Director who said
she would be happy to help in whatever way was best. The daughter decided to
tell her mother that it was time for her to move, so she can be cared for and
be safe. When she told her mother, Mrs. G. cried and said, “This will not
happen ever. I plan to stay in this house of loving memories for the remainder
of my life.”
In 3 – 4
pages answer the following questions:
How would you best describe Mrs. G.’s feelings about her life, her family, her
traditions, and her future?
Did Mrs.
G.’s response to her daughter surprise you? Please explain your answer.
In what way do you believe her culture might be influencing her decision?
If you were Mrs. G.’s daughter what would you say to her that shows you are caring and have
compassion for her situation? What nonverbal communication would support that
level of communication?
Suppose
Mrs. G. stands firm about not leaving her house. What resources and
collaborations might be available and helpful so the daughter and other
healthcare providers can keep her mother safe and make the most effective
decision?
