CULTURAL ASSESSMENT
Cultural Assessment to Members of the Asian Culture Living in the US
Culture, which is the way of living by various communities and societies, may have some
impacts on various fields in the United States including in the healthcare sector. These impacts
can either be positive or negative depending on the types of beliefs and practices being upheld by
that particular community or society in the United States. In the assignment, a cultural
assessment of members of the Asian culture in the United States will be conducted. The
assessment includes evaluating the culture's trans-cultural beliefs, identifying its healthcare
behaviours, challenges and barriers to healthcare including the challenges related to outcomes.
Finally, in the assessment, an evidence-based plan that can be utilized to improve healthcare
outcomes and access to healthcare will be developed.
Trans Cultural Beliefs Assessment
As earlier noted, the term culture denotes reflections of communities’ or societies’ way of
living and this includes their practices, beliefs or idea patterns, and customs. Members of the
Asian culture, more so the Chinese living in the United States have various cultural beliefs and
practices, ranging from their language, religious practices to dietary preferences, among others.
Brown (2020) notes that language is a way of living for communities as they use it to
communicate; hence part of the culture. The Asians; Chinese living in the United States mostly
use the mandarin language. This is since; mandarin is the most common traditional language for
most of the Chinese communities in China. However, when conversing with non-Chinese
individuals in the states, members of the Asian culture will use English. Regarding religious
practices which is part of the culture, most of the Asians; Chinese in the United States exercise
Buddhism religious practices, which include singing and chanting their scriptures, meditations,

and also coining of mantras for the avoidance of self-weakness, denial, and indulgence. This is
also common and evident when one visits the old Chinatowns in Philadelphia and San Francisco.
Lueck (2018) notes that the socio-economic status of Asians; Chinese in the United
States has tremendously increased. Currently, most of the Chinese in the United States have
attained the middle-class socio-economic status with only thirteen per cent of them living in
poverty as per 2019 data (Budiman, 2021). Members of the Asian culture; the Chinese in the
United States value life so much. Therefore, they practice palliative care till their loved one dies.
The individuals believe that palliative care is the secret to “good death”. Again upon death,
Chinese in the United States bury their loved ones with a lot of respect after carrying out some
rituals, such as praying and incense burning, since it is part of their end-of-life practices.
Members of the Asian culture; Chinese in the United States have strong preferences for their
traditional food. These foods include noodles, soups, and seafood. Therefore, these individuals
prefer these diets over traditional American foods. Lastly, the Chinese in the United States are
known for their risk-taking ventures, more so regarding their health. This is evident through their
higher uptake of alcohol and other drugs.
Healthcare Behaviors for Members of the Asian Culture in the US
Chinese living in the United States are also known for their strong clinging to their
traditions and cultures including in healthcare. When sick or unwell, most of these individuals
opt for traditional herbal therapies not unless it gets serious and this is where non-traditional
therapy comes into play. When seriously sick, that is when Chinese in the United States will visit
hospitals for medical treatment, which is a non-traditional therapy. Lastly, some Chinese
immigrants in the United States periodically go to drug addiction treatment centers for drug

abuse treatment and rehabilitation especially if the abuse is severe and this is a non-traditional
therapy.
Challenges and Barriers to Healthcare
As far as members of the Asian culture in the United States; the Chinese are concerned,
the key challenges and barriers to healthcare emanate from their strong cultural practices and
beliefs, among other things, such as financial statuses. For example, the above-identified
members of the Asian culture in the United States believe in respect for authority and therefore,
try to avoid disagreements with healthcare professionals (Wu et al., 2020). Again, these members
believe in being strong. To most of them, discussing mental illness’ symptoms and also seeking
medical help before traditional therapy is a form of lack of self-control and weakness.
Again, poverty is a barrier to healthcare among some of these Chinese immigrants as they
do not have funds to pay insurance premiums or seek quality healthcare. As was earlier noted,
about thirteen per cent of the Chinese in the United States live in poverty. Some of the outcomes
of the above-discussed challenges and barriers include misdiagnosis or little healthcare help as
some of the Chinese patients in the United States are not willing to open up and discuss their
symptoms or even seek expert medical care. The other outcome is increased mortality rates and
poor healthcare among these individuals as they cannot seek quality medical care due to their
poverty levels.
Evidence-Based Plan
To improve healthcare outcomes and access to healthcare among the Chinese in the
United States, things such as the deployment of Chinese healthcare practitioners to hospitals
where Chinese immigrants frequent and use of technology can help. Research by Zhang, Wang,

and Cheng (2020) shows that Chinese trust each other more than members of other races. Hence
they would be more open to Chinese doctors. Zheng et al. (2020) note that using of technology in
diagnosis is more efficient than human observations. Therefore, using technology can help in the
diagnosis process. Lastly, increasing state healthcare insurance coverage among the poor can
also help. Currently, Obamacare is proving to be successful and increasing such would ensure
everyone in the US including the poor is covered.

Interviewing a Professional Nurse
Abstract
The contemporary healthcare setup is increasingly becoming complex. Patient care today
is multi-faceted and multi-dimensional and hence the complexity in healthcare. The purpose of
this paper is to address several aspects of nursing in a bid to make clear how the complexity in
health care can be dealt with. To articulately and comprehensively get an in-depth view of the
aspects, I interviewed Sheri Underwood, Group Chief Nursing Officer Detroit Medical Center.
The paper has been divided into four sections, each addressing a different patient and health care
aspect.
Introduction
The predominant aspects that define patient care are teamwork, patient-care adaptability,
time management, communication style and motivation, and core values of the health care team.
The interview questions directed at Sheri Underwood were greatly woven to establish how each
of these aspects contributes to patient care. Additionally, the nurse provided examples that better
illuminated patient care, which is essentially a brushstroke to the painting that is healthcare.

Teamwork
With the high degree of complexity in health care, patients are cared for by different
professionals. Health care facilities have numerous providers and nurses, each with a different
duty, and hence teamwork is very vital (Babiker et al., 2014). Nurses and providers need to be
equipped with the necessary teamwork skills.
According to Underwood, the Detroit Medical Center's success is largely due to the high
level of teamwork that has been instilled in the staff. She explained that teamwork involves
cooperation between staff,...
