Week 4 Module 2 - Discussion Board: Being Mortal

How have the central issues of Being Mortal (i.e. mortality, end-of-life care, aging, and death) affected your life?

What are the author's main critiques of nursing homes? What do you think about the tensions between keeping older adults safe and helping them live their best lives?

Recall the story of Peg Bachelder's decision to try hospice and have as many good days as possible before she died. Peg's definition of a good day meant something very specific to her: teach music lessons and interacting with her students. What would your good day look like?

Cardiac Disparities in the Black Community

It is a fact that the affordability of foods is contributable to adverse health and is equally a socioeconomic concern. Black families show love and socialize by feeding one another. Given a number of issues, this can have detrimental effects on the health of Black people.

Therefore, I think of cardiac concerns and outcomes. One thought is that medications affect black patients differently. This is due to a variety of factors; including genetics, socioeconomic factors as described above, and environmental factors. It is also important to note that minorities are rarely a part of clinical trials, which causes a disparity in treatment outcomes.

Please refer to the attached articles what do you think after reading it
