Discussion: Social Determinants of Health Among the Female Population Different factors in society impact both the health and the health-seeking behavior of a given population at both individual and family levels. Social determinants of health vary from one population and individual to another (Schuiling, & Likis, 2022). Advanced Nursing Practitioners are thus required to carry out a risk assessment especially for individuals in most atrisk populations to appropriately manage the presenting healthcare conditions

The invention of computers has enabled efficient and effective management of clients. But security issues have been a major concern to both software applications and their stored data. Clinical laboratory departments in hospitals are no exceptions; they store patients’ health records such as name, kind of diseases diagnosed, medicine prescribed, frequency of reception and drug reactions, etc. Since patients who visit many health facilities may have multiple health records, the need arose for a shared system that all clinicians can access. This led to the development of centralized medical records that all stakeholders can access over the Internet. Challenges to Clinical Laboratory IT Security Data or information in clinical laboratory systems are always very sensitive and require secure environments. This is normally not the case in many laboratory systems. The systems are accessible by physicians, nurses, laboratory workers, patients, patients’ relatives, information technology support, IT service providers and firms that maintain them. Since they can be accessed by many people who need the data, securing the records becomes a challenge. Threats to clinical information are grouped into human, natural, environmental and technological factors. Human factors are threats imposed by human beings. They include hacking, stealing of passwords, eavesdropping, interception and physical damage. Hacking involves trying all means to compromise a system. It includes trying many letters to guess passwords to gain permission to access systems and steal information. Though some hackers may not interfere with systems, their access to the system has far-reaching implications for clinical laboratories. They can also steal passwords while users enter them. This permits them to enter the clinical laboratory system. In certain cases, people can secretly listen to the private communication of clinical workers. This commonly occurs while communication occurs over the Internet and can be done in person or using specialized software. The message content reaches the destination unaltered in eavesdropping, but the eavesdropper remains with a copy of the entire information. A human can also intercept information traveling over the network. In such a case, the information does not reach the intended destination but remains with the interceptor. Human physical actions always challenge information technology infrastructure. They include physical shooting, flooding of computers, and passing electromagnetic substances over computer storage devices. Physical shooting and flooding of computers destroy both hardware and software, while electromagnetic material destroys information stored in computer storage devices. Technologically malicious computer software, such as viruses, Trojans and worms, can greatly affect data or information stored in the clinical laboratory system. The effects of their actions range from slowing down computer systems to permanently deleting stored information.

Identify and describe one example of gender inequality evident in urban societies and environments. In your response, make reference to the concept that sustains the gender inequality you have identified (5 marks). The aspect considered here as gender inequality is harassment against women Women have more than often expressed gender-based violence in facilities such as public transportation. However, they have always expressed this as a normal norm within the societal values that they have grown in. To them, violence between them and men is a normal order of the day rather than an inequality. They also express their fear for public places as being shaped by the gender norms. These norms dictate that their roles in the society are of lesser important as compared to those of men.

Identify one example of digital social inequality in Australia and explain how it impacts different social groups in Australia (5 marks) The modern Australia is highly digitalized in the day-to-day activities. Consequently, there are many groups that have been left marginalized by digitalization, more so, digital social inequalities have been very rampant in the rural areas of Australia. Socio-spatial polarisation refers to divergence over time in the life chances and socio-economic circumstances of low income and middle to high income populations. The growing intensity of the gap between people advantaged and disadvantaged by the restructuring process is expressed in inequality of income, disparities in the availability and quality of public services, employment status, growing poverty (particularly among women) and dependence and welfare service provision.

Part 2: Using the spaces of wellbeing framework, identify four (4) examples of how we can facitlitate older people’s wellbeing in our cities/urban spaces (4 marks)

Question 4 The reading Andersen,M.J., Williamson, A.B., Fernando, P., Eades, S. & Redman, S. (2018) ‘"They took the land, now we’re fighting for a house": Aboriginal perspectives about urban housing disadvantage', Housing Studies , 33:4, 635-660 uses Aboriginal perspectives to understand why housing disadvantage is occurring in Western Sydney. From these perspectives, five (5) key reasons for housing disadvantage are identified. They are: racism, poverty, neighbourhood marginalisation, insufficient government response, and disempowerment Using the reading, describe one-way Aboriginal Australians experience each reason for housing disadvantage. Note: Do not simply copy/paste participants’ quotes. (5 marks).

Part 2: Identify and describe one example of how Islamophobia is manifest in Australian cities (4 marks) The events that took shape in Cronulla Australia are a perfect example of islamophobia. The case occurred on December 2005 on the eleventh day when a violent mob of more than five thousand people gathered in the beach at Cronulla, New South Wales.

Part 1: List three (3) characteristics of gay villages according to Levine 1979 (1 mark) Gay villages are frequented by a number of gay oriented-oriented establishments such as bars purposefully opened for gay people, night clubs and book stores among others

Part 2: Choose one (1) of Iris Marion Young’s ‘faces of oppression’. Provide a definition of the ‘face of oppression’ you have chosen and explain one way it is being experienced or is apparent in contemporary Australian society. (4 marks)

1. Exploitation- “the concept explained in this concept is that oppression follows a pattern and described as s steady process of transfer of the labour of one social group to benefit another”. 2. Marginalization- “it is described as the rejected people that the system fails to use either because they are racially marked, elderly, mentally handicapped, the unemployed etc.”. These people are expelled from engaging into useful participation in social life pushing them to severe material deprivation.

. I believethat challenging stereotypes and bias is important to society as it is important to see the diverse ways in which countries exist within our world. Understanding social stereotypes and bias can allow individuals to gain a deeper understanding of social groups. It is also important to inform urban planning and policy because through urban planners, policymakers and community leaders social differences can be understood and policies can be designed and implemented. Finally the importance of learning about social differences can be seen through supporting inclusive education. Fostering inclusive learning environments can teach students about developing critical thinking skills, empathy and a broader worldwide view. This supports them in becoming informed adults. Within my everyday life and future careers I will apply my learning through firstly ensuring I am aware of social differences that promote inclusivity and diversity within my workplace and university setting. I will help create an environment that values individuals perspectives and contributes more to an innovative and productive space. I also want to create more relationships that enhance communication that is sensitive to cultural differences and that build stronger connections with people from diverse backgrounds. Overall I aim to take my learning to be a more empathetic, positive, problem-solving individual that creates a more well informed perso

When identifying gender inequality in urban societies and environments it requires the challenging of societal norms and perceptions. One gender inequality that is evident in urban society is the phenomenon of “pink-collar’ professions. “Pink-collar” refers to jobs that are traditionally dominated by women and these are often associated with caregiving, service and administrative roles. These jobs have lower pay, less prestige and fewer opportunities to advance in leadership roles. The concept that sustains “pink collar” gender inequality can be referred to as the feminisation of labor. Within society it is clear in cultural and societal perceptions that positions associated with nurturing, communication and emotional labor are considered less important or valuable than positions associated with traits traditionally associated with masculinity, such as assertiveness, leadership and technical skills. The feminisation of labor perpetuates gender inequality through wage gap, lack of recognition and stereotyping. Efforts to reduce the wage gap, provide equal opportunities for career growth, and promote more inclusive workplace policies are essential steps toward achieving greater gender equity in urban environments and beyond

Identify one example of digital social inequality in Australia and explain how it impacts different social groups in Australia. Within Australia one example of digital social inequality is known as the ‘digital divide’ between different socioeconomic groups in terms of access to digital technologies. Access to high speed internet is a critical aspect of digital social inequality in Australia. While the country has made significant progress in expanding internet access, differences still exist based on factors such asincome, location, and education. Many rural and remote areas, as well as lower-income urban neighborhoods, face limited access to reliable and high-speed internet connections

Identify and describe one example of how Islamophobia is manifest in Australian cities. (4 marks)Islamophobia can be seen all around the world. Within Australia it can be seen through the targeting of mosques and Islamic community centers. The centers have been targeted with hate speech, vandalism and some physical attacks. Mosques and Islamic centers have been attacked with graffiti that includes derogatory slurs and symbols. Some havehad windows broken and property damaged. An example of Islamophobia can be seen in Adelaide as the converted house on Hogarth Road at Elizabeth Grove has been defaced with graffiti.

Ethical Discussion Nursing Specialty and Ethical Concern In the future, I intend on being an acute care nurse practitioner in the critical care setting. The ethical concern that I would have in my future practice is the mistrust patients have for providers. As a registered nurse working before covid, it was rare to have a patient or family that showed distrust for the provider. However, as I work in the covid ICU, I have seen many families who have refused medications, yelled at providers, and threatened staff due to mistrust. I’ve heard many families verbalize that all healthcare providers see is their family member as a number, not an actual person. As I adv

Week 5 Assignment: Myocardial Infarction Case Study Ms. X., aged 55 years, has been complaining of severe fatigue and “indigestion.” Her son is quite concerned and decides to take her to the emergency department. On arrival she appears very anxious, and her facial skin is cool and clammy; her blood pressure is 90/60, and the pulse is around 90, weak, and irregular. She is given oxygen, an intravenous line is opened, and leads for ECG are attached. Blood is taken for determination of serum enzymes and electrolytes. Tentative diagnosis is myocardial infarction involving the left ventricle. Her son provides information that indicates Ms. X is a long-time smoker, has a stressful job as a high school teacher, is recently separated after 20 years of marriage, and is fearful of losing the family home. She has also seemed to be more fatigued and stopped going to the gym about 18 months ago. She has begun to rely on “fast foods” like pizza and fried chicken and cooks infrequently. Her father had died of a heart attack at age 50. She had also noticed more fatigue and intermittent leg pain when walking or climbing stairs at work. Generalized atherosclerosis is suspected. 1.List the high-risk factors for atherosclerosis in this patient’s history
