nursing 505 diversity in advanced practice healthcare

Learning Goal: I’m working on a science writing question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

Hyde Pfiefer, a retired 70-year-old German American, has lived in the United States for the last 50 years. A widower of 5 years, Mr. Pfiefer prepares his own meals following his wife’s recipes from the old country. Nine months ago, Mr. Pfiefer was told that his cholesterol is elevated, and he was instructed about a low-fat diet. His most recent test results show his values to be unchanged.

  1. Discuss the meaning of food in the German culture.
  2. Using the predominant health beliefs of people of German ancestry, how might you help Mr. Pfiefer reduce his cholesterol level?

Submission Instructions:
