The Effect of Ethnicity,
Culture, and Religion on Food, Nutrition, and Health Practices
Health
professionals, such as professional nurses, can best address the dietary and
nutritional needs of the population when the mediating forces can be identified
and accommodated in attempts to promote healthful food choices.
The purpose of this
assignment is for the student to develop a deeper understanding and sensitivity
regarding the role of ethnicity, culture, and religion in patients’ lives, and
how these factors affect food choices, good nutrition, and related health
practices. In this assignment, students
will explore and report on the Effect of Ethnicity, Culture, and Religion on food,
nutrition, and related health practices for a specific group or population living in the United States. Students are
expected to learn about cultural norms and patterns and how they influence food
choices, nutrition, and related health practices.
Students
will create PowerPoint slides and will submit a recorded presentation. The presentation should be no more than 20
minutes in length; five minutes for preparation/introduction; fifteen minutes
for presentation. Each of the five areas in section “A” should be reported on
in the Power Point presentation as well as the care plan in section “B”
