She also enjoys the diversity there is in America. For one thing, she could go to a nearby restaurant to buy some mexican food, including tacos which she likes. However she does wish that people would talk with different people
In this case, Susan who is Latino and who was raised in the Catholic religion and later during college she had joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS). As a nurse caring for Susan, I would want to make sure that, her need as a Latino woman, as well as, a member of the LDS religion are being meet. In the Latino culture family is consideration to be at the very center and plays a very important role in choosing health care provider, as well as, making medical decision. In a traditional Latino family women are the main source, which holds the family together. In addition, when dealing with Hispanic patients, they are less likely to admit to being depressed, due to the negative stigma, that it involves (Rodriguez, 2002).

These potential psychosocial issues relevant to Jenny, create different nursing care interventions also relevant to Jenny. Education and emotional support for the patient and family is a necessary role for nurses to paediatric patients with cancer and chronic illnesses (Kieran, Meyler & Guerin 2010, p.16). It is important that nurses involve the appropriate health professional through referrals for social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists and more (Kieran, Meyler & Guerin 2010, p.16). When caring for Jenny, nurses and health professionals need to consider that the legal age for consent to medical treatment is sixteen (reference) and Jenny is nine. Therefore, her parents need to be involved and addressed in every decision throughout Jenny’s care. Family centered care is the dominant type of nursing care for children with cancer as it

“A Sorrowful Woman” features a superficially simple narration style. “Now the days were too short. She was always busy,” Stylistically clipped, with a clear passive, detached, voice the narration style seems to be a banal, unimportant feature of the text.

Given the societal stigma surrounding mental illness authors generally face an uphill
This tragic marriage and feelings of guilt and grief have been haunting her since the time which can be seen in a recurring motif of a polka tune Varsouviana which „[has been] caught in [her] head“ (Williams 113) and which she associates with the night her husband committed suicide. It is obvious that she has never come to terms with her past. Whenever someone mentions her dead husband, she does not feel well: „The boy - the boy died. Iʼm - going to be sick!“ (Williams 31) She realizes that she is responsible for his death and does not know how to deal with it which results in her love affairs, withdrawal from reality and the final mental breakdown.
