 In the Asian culture, there is often a belief that terminally ill patients should not be informed about their prognosis. Would you respect the cultural practice and not inform a patient about the prognosis? Is there a way for health care providers to balance the patient’s right to know with respect for the cultural practices and beliefs of the family? Is not fully disclosing information to the patient an ethical breach?

Chronic Stable Angina

E.H. is a 45-year-old African American man who recently moved to the community from another state. He requests renewal of a prescription for a calcium channel blocker, prescribed by a physician in the former state. He is unemployed and lives with a woman, their son, and the woman’s 2 children. His past medical history is remarkable for asthma and six “heart attacks” that he claims occurred because of a 25-year history of drug use (primarily cocaine). He states that he used drugs as recently as 2 weeks ago. He does not have any prior medical records with him. He claims that he has been having occasional periods of chest pain. He is unable to report the duration or pattern of the pain. Before proceeding, explore the following questions: What further information would you need to diagnose angina (substantiate your answer)? What is the connection between cocaine use and angina? Identify at least three tests that you would order to diagnose angina.

Diagnosis: Angina

For this assignment, you will locate two research studies related to the topic and PICOT questions that you developed in Week 2. The articles must be current (within the last five years), and one article must be quantitative, and one article must be qualitative.

Article choice is very important, therefore:

• Articles used for this assignment cannot be used for the other assignments. The selected articles should be original research studies. Review articles, concept analysis, meta-analysis, meta-synthesis, integrative review, and systemic review articles should not be used.
• Mixed-methods studies should not be used.

There are two parts to this assignment.

Part 1: Complete a Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklist

• Select one each: qualitative and quantitative research articles.
• Create a Rapid Critical Appraisal Checklist for the two research articles (one column per article).
• Complete with brief, concise, summarized information.

Part II: Write a summary (one- to two- pages)

• Identify differences between quantitative and qualitative designs and research methods.
• Use current APA Style for your summary paper and to cite your sources.
• Submit the checklist and summary.

Please provide proper APA citation of your references. DO NOT COPY WORD FOR WORD (this includes both text book and all other forms of media- paraphrase and cite your reference). Remember to include a reference sheet with you references list IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER.

1. In your own words explain the purpose for using theory to develop community based health interventions. (This is not a one or two sentence answer. I am looking for a solid explanation, utilizing references, of why we use theory).

2. In your own words, describe the relationship between theoretical constructs and intervention activities. (This is not a one or two sentence answer. I am looking for a complete discussion of the interactions of theoretical constructs and intervention activities).

3. In your own words discuss the difference between primary and secondary data. (This is not a one or two sentence answer. Your response should demonstrate a complete understanding of the terms and must include examples… DO NOT USE EXAMPLES FROM THE TEXT BOOK!!!).

4. State and describe a specific priority population for whom an internet-based survey would be appropriate (notice I said describe not simply list). Why do you think it would work with this group (be complete in your response)? What research and/or statistics support your claim (this can be addressed with a simple web search. Do not forget to reference)? I am looking for a logical response to this question. Do not simply put something down without having firm evidence to support.

Each answer must contain 150 word answer minimum.
