Culture/population of interest to assess a current need.

by | Mar 3, 2023 | Web Design

 

1. Evaluate a culture/population of interest to assess a current need. Examples may include patients in various care environments, gender identity groups, racial identity, ethnic identity, etc.
2. Using the population/culture identified, devise a culturally sensitive response plan that addresses a specific need in that population. What objectives will you meet through this response plan?
3. After reading your textbook, consider the role of the DNP in education. Write an educational intervention plan that addresses your objectives. Using scholarly inquiry, discuss cost-effectiveness, feasibility, and the timeline for implementation of your plan.

Dante Alighieri played a critical role in the literature world through his poem Divine Comedy that was written in the 14th century. The poem contains Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. The Inferno is a description of the nine circles of torment that are found on the earth. It depicts the realms of the people that have gone against the spiritual values and who, instead, have chosen bestial appetite, violence, or fraud and malice. The nine circles of hell are limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and wrath. Others are heresy, violence, fraud, and treachery. The purpose of this paper is to examine the Dante’s Inferno in the perspective of its portrayal of God’s image and the justification of hell. 

In this epic poem, God is portrayed as a super being guilty of multiple weaknesses including being egotistic, unjust, and hypocritical. Dante, in this poem, depicts God as being more human than divine by challenging God’s omnipotence. Additionally, the manner in which Dante describes Hell is in full contradiction to the morals of God as written in the Bible. When god arranges Hell to flatter Himself, He commits egotism, a sin that is common among human beings (Cheney, 2016). The weakness is depicted in Limbo and on the Gate of Hell where, for instance, God sends those who do not worship Him to Hell. This implies that failure to worship Him is a sin.

God is also depicted as lacking justice in His actions thus removing the godly image. The injustice is portrayed by the manner in which the sodomites and opportunists are treated. The opportunists are subjected to banner chasing in their lives after death followed by being stung by insects and maggots. They are known to having done neither good nor bad during their lifetimes and, therefore, justice could have demanded that they be granted a neutral punishment having lived a neutral life. The sodomites are also punished unfairly by God when Brunetto Lattini is condemned to hell despite being a good leader (Babor, T. F., McGovern, T., & Robaina, K. (2017). While he commited sodomy, God chooses to ignore all the other good deeds that Brunetto did.

Finally, God is also portrayed as being hypocritical in His actions, a sin that further diminishes His godliness and makes Him more human. A case in point is when God condemns the sin of egotism and goes ahead to commit it repeatedly. Proverbs 29:23 states that “arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.” When Slattery condemns Dante’s human state as being weak, doubtful, and limited, he is proving God’s hypocrisy because He is also human (Verdicchio, 2015). The actions of God in Hell as portrayed by Dante are inconsistent with the Biblical literature. Both Dante and God are prone to making mistakes, something common among human beings thus making God more human.

To wrap it up, Dante portrays God is more human since He commits the same sins that humans commit: egotism, hypocrisy, and injustice. Hell is justified as being a destination for victims of the mistakes committed by God. The Hell is presented as being a totally different place as compared to what is written about it in the Bible. As a result, reading through the text gives an image of God who is prone to the very mistakes common to humans thus ripping Him off His lofty status of divine and, instead, making Him a mere human. Whether or not Dante did it intentionally is subject to debate but one thing is clear in the poem: the misconstrued notion of God is revealed to future generations.

Sample Solution

The population of interest that I have chosen to assess for a current need is LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly those in rural and underserved areas. The needs of this particular group are often overlooked or not fully realized due to lack of access to resources that could support their mental health and overall well-being. Therefore, it is important to develop a culturally sensitive response plan that acknowledges the unique experiences members of this group face and works towards providing them with the necessary resources they require.

The population of interest that I have chosen to assess for a current need is LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly those in rural and underserved areas. The needs of this particular group are often overlooked or not fully realized due to lack of access to resources that could support their mental health and overall well-being. Therefore, it is important to develop a culturally sensitive response plan that acknowledges the unique experiences members of this group face and works towards providing them with the necessary resources they require.

The objectives of this plan will be twofold; firstly, it must work towards increasing awareness and education about issues faced by members of the LGBTQ+ community in order to reduce stigma and prejudice in these rural areas. This can be accomplished through offering seminars, workshops and other educational events in local communities which discuss topics such as gender identity, sexual orientation, rights protection etc. Secondly, it will strive to ensure access to adequate healthcare services for transgender individuals, specifically addressing their physical health needs such as hormone therapy or gender confirmation surgery if desired. To achieve this goal various programs could be implemented such as referral systems connecting individuals with appropriate specialist providers or even creating specialized clinics which offer timely care without requiring patients to travel long distances for treatment.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, the plan should focus on using existing infrastructure like community centers or schools when organizing educational events instead of investing in new facilities or equipment. Furthermore, any interventions related directly towards medical care should emphasize use of telemedicine technologies where possible since they generally result in lower costs than traditional models while still delivering quality patient outcomes (Shah et al., 2019). Additionally when selecting providers security measures should also be taken into account because opting for cheaper but less secure options has been linked higher rates non-compliance among patients (Rashed et al., 2020). In terms of implementation timeline feasibility depends largely on whether funding can be acquired quickly enough since most government sources require lengthy application processes before money is released (Khan & Newman 2017). Once finances are secured however an estimated period for completion would likely span several months given all activities associated with organizing seminars/workshops, recruiting professionals qualified enough provide healthcare services etc need sufficient time ensure success.

As a DNP nurse practitioner I believe my role lies primarily within supporting healthcare professionals working directly with these populations by providing clinical guidance whenever needed along educating them about latest developments related gender affirming treatments so they can confidently deliver high standards care clients looking transition medically . Moreover , I would also help create frameworks monitoring progress these initiatives both during initial launch phase afterwards once everything running smoothly . This includes tracking metrics pertaining usage levels , patient satisfaction scores , cost savings generated from telehealth solutions etc depending upon specific requirements project team members .
