Compose a research paper elucidating the connection between ethics and culture.A male nurse admits a 60-year-old Amish woman, Mrs. C, to the medical-surgical unit. Mrs. C.’s husband is at the bedside and reports that Mrs. C has had a high fever for five days. They don’t own a thermometer, but he does know that she has been very hot, very tired, and unable to get out of bed without help. Mr. C reports that his wife “didn’t know where she was yesterday even though we have lived in the same house for 40 years.” The male nurse asks Mrs. C. to tell him her name, date of birth, and where she is now. Mrs. C. can tell him her name and the month in which she was born, but she thinks that she is still at home. A female physician enters the room and introduces herself as Dr. Smith. Mr. C. looks at the male nurse and states that women can’t be doctors and asks the male nurse if he is the doctor.
Given the above scenario, please answer the following questions:
1. Leininger’s concept of cultural care involves integrating a patient’s culture into the nursing care plan. Leininger recognized that many patients use “folk systems” when seeking health care. The male nurse recognizes that Mr. and Mrs. C. have specific cultural views some of which fall into Leininger’s category of folk health systems. Which describes a folk system of health care?
2. How would you recommend the nurse respond to the patient in this situation?
Your response must be at minimum 250 words.
