Introduction
My name is Precious Teasley. I’m a recent college graduate with a BS in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Coppin State University in Baltimore, MD. I look forward in the future to working with patients with Sickle cell Disease. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Healthcare Administration. Im a sickle cell worrier and my biggest reason to pursue a health career is to make a difference in the lives of others. And ensuring that other kids will not have to endure some of the hardships and errors I had to endure while trying to cope with my illness. I see a lot of room for improvement within the management sector of healthcare. I hope to gain more insight into Human Resources and their effects on society because it’ll play a big part in my chosen career field. I enjoy shopping and adding to my Jordan collection, and spending time with my nephews in my free time. I also enjoy traveling and exploring different cultures. I look forward to meeting and working with all of you as we continue our academic journey. I had set my goals in pursuing this course to advance my future ambitions in Human Resources and healthcare management. Therefore, getting an MHA in this field would be helpful for me in taking my career to a level of realization.

Ethnographic Analysis
Ethnicity: Analyze the impact of ethnicity on population identification. What impact does ethnicity have on cultural notions of identity?
Ethnicity is a complex and multifaceted concept that can influence how individuals view themselves and their identities. It is commonly described as a shared cultural heritage and identity based on shared ancestry, language, religion, and traditions. Ethnicity can significantly shape an individual’s identity and impact their beliefs, behaviors, and experiences.
For many individuals, ethnicity is a fundamental aspect of their identity and can be a source of pride and belonging. Ethnic identity can influence how individuals view themselves and their place in society and relate to others from similar or different ethnic backgrounds (Stets; Fares, 2019). When members of various ethnic groups have opposing goals or worldviews, ethnicity can become a divisive factor.
Cultural conceptions of identity can vary widely across different ethnic groups and may be influenced by various factors, including history, geography, language, religion, and political systems. For example, some cultures may put a lot of value on individual success and achievement, while others may put a lot of value on how close people are to their families and communities. In some cultures, a person’s ethnic identity may be closely tied to their religious beliefs, while in others, ethnicity may be primarily based on shared ancestry and cultural traditions.
Ethnic identity can also be influenced by broader social and cultural factors, such as discrimination, prejudice, and stereotyping. For example, individuals from ethnic minorities may experience discrimination based on ethnicity, which can impact how they view themselves and their place in society. On the other hand, individuals from majority ethnic groups may take their ethnic identity for granted and not consider its influence on their worldview and experiences.
Assess the risks associated with the health concern for the patients and their loved ones.
The stakes of a health issue for patients and their loved ones can be incredibly high and may vary depending on the specific health condition and its severity (Wynn, 2020). Health difficulties can generally impact a patient’s physical, mental, and social health and other aspects of their life. Some potential stakes of a health issue for patients and their loved ones may include Physical health: Health issues can have significant impacts on a patient’s physical health, including pain, discomfort, limited mobility
Overview
Excellent work! Now that you have successfully conducted a mini ethnographic analysis of the popula!on, you will focus on
other related health challenges. Even though the primary health challenge for your chosen humanitarian aid trip will be the
focus of your interven!ons, there are other real and poten!al health challenges the popula!on or the team will encounter. If
you want to be successful on this trip, you need to know about these other health challenges and how they interact with the
primary health challenge.
By inves!ga!ng the scholarly literature, you will answer the ques!ons: What is known about the other health challenges
among the popula!on within the area of focus for the humanitarian aid trip? What should the team prepare to encounter?
Prompt
Building on the prior project prepara!on assignments, examine the details related to the other health challenges faced by the
popula!on, as well as those your team may meet, during the humanitarian aid trip. Cra” a short paper to further your analysis
of the nature of the other health challenges. Search the scholarly literature to support your analysis for at least three different
health challenges for your chosen loca!on. Your responses should be concise.
Note that you should cite at least three scholarly sources from your inves!ga!on. The evidence should not be older than five
years. To access the Shapiro Library Guide: NursingGraduate, go to the Start Here sec!on of the course.
You must iden!fy three other health challenges and address all the following specified criteria for each of these other health
challenges:
1. Other Health Challenge #1: Assess the implica!ons and interac!ons of this health challenge with your selected health
challenge for your aid trip.
A. Analysis: Analyze the other health challenge. Be sure to address the following aspects:
Incidence: Iden!fy the incidence related to the health challenge.
Prevalence: Describe the prevalence of the health challenge.
Presenta!on: Explain the clinical symptoms or noted characteris!cs of the health challenge.
Influence of social determinants: Describe the influence of the social determinants related to the
health challenge.
Inequi!es: Iden!fy any inequi!es related to the loca!on of the humanitarian aid trip.
Related programs, policies, or legisla!on: Iden!fy any programs, policies, or legisla!on related to the
health challenge.
Other characteris!cs or facts: Describe other characteris!cs or facts related to this health challenge.
B. Connec!ons: Draw connec!ons to your chosen health challenge for your humanitarian aid trip in the
Connec!ons sec!on. How does this challenge impact the popula!on and the health challenge of focus?
Explain what the
