A psychological lens is a set of beliefs used to analyze the mental state of a person and how their mental state affects their actions. We analyze behaviors through a lens because it uncovers an explanation. There are five (5) lenses through which psychology looks at behavior:
Nature vs. Nurture. This debate focuses primarily on whether inherent, biological factors or developmental, “experiential” factors play the dominant role in shaping who people are and how they behave.
Materialism vs. Constructionism. Some academic psychologists focus on the physical (i.e., material) underpinnings of behavior based on the idea that behavior is nothing more than the result of neural activity. On the other hand, constructionists downplay material causes of behavior and instead focus on how psychological reality is ultimately found in the meaning that people give psychological concepts in social contexts.
Person vs. Situation. There is often debate whether factors within people cause their behaviors or if situational cues play a more critical role. Dispositions focus on internal causes of behavior, such as personality traits or emotional states. Situationists focus more on factors in situations that exert influence on behavior.
Consistency vs. Change Across Development. Whether people can change who they are across their lifespan is another hotly debated topic in psychology. Some argue that our personality becomes largely fixed during late childhood. Others argue that there is potential for change.
Cultural Universals vs. Cultural Variability. Are people the same wherever you go? Some will say yes, and some will say no. To be sure, there are ways that humans are the same across the globe.
Based on your readings, select a psychology topic of interest and a lens through which to view that topic. Then, describe and explain using supportive evidence to justify your choice.
For example, from a constructionist perspective, when someone experiences the death of a loved one, their experience is unique, regardless of age, cultural, demographic, ethnic, gender, social, or spiritual influences. -

For this Check-Up, your patient is a 43-year-old female. She is 4 months pregnan
For this Check-Up, your patient is a 43-year-old female. She is 4 months pregnant for the first time, and she never expected to get pregnant as she believed herself to be infertile. She has enjoyed 2 glasses of wine each night her entire first trimester because she read a few articles by some renowned international obstetricians who suggested that having a glass of red wine during pregnancy is healthy to maintain normal blood pressure, and to reduce anxiety levels.
Your patient, Claudia, wants to know if it’s important for her to stop drinking her red wine each night, or if the warnings given by her family are just “super strict and overly protective.” Claudia needs facts to change her mind about this topic. As her Nurse/health care investigator, can you explain to her what the risks are for her to continue drinking 2 glasses of wine every night while she is pregnant? Do you think that you should also address other factors like her age, first time pregnancy, etc.? Use your Nurse/health care-Investigator skills and present the facts to her. -
According to American Hospital Association (2018), providing quality health ca
According to American Hospital Association (2018), providing quality health care relies on a collaborative effort between healthcare practitioners and their patients. Healthcare professionals must maintain and safeguard the rights of patients. The Patient’s Bill of Rights mandates that healthcare professionals must uphold patients’ privacy rights. Healthcare professionals must ensure that all patient case discussions are conducted privately. The privacy of medical records is of utmost importance and must be upheld (Bani Issa et al., 2020). Disclosure of information is only permissible in situations such as suspected abuse or public health hazards, as required by law. Obtaining patient consent and ensuring their comprehension regarding disseminating their information is a crucial responsibility for healthcare professionals (AHA, 2018). Senteio and Yoon (2020) explain that this practice facilitates the establishment of trust and promotes patient comfort in disclosing sensitive information to their healthcare providers.
Moreover, healthcare practitioners must inform their patients of the complete range of care alternatives. According to AHA (2018), this entails providing individuals with information regarding the various services, treatments, and resources available to resolve disputes, grievances, and conflicts. Patients must be provided with comprehensive information regarding hospital policies and practices that pertain to patient care, treatment, and obligations. Additionally, patients must be informed of the fees for services rendered and the available payment options (Lee, 2019). Transparency fosters trust and guarantees that patients are comprehensively apprised, facilitating their ability to make well-informed decisions regarding their healthcare (Tringale et al., 2019).
Additionally, healthcare professionals must ensure that patients receive appropriate care on time. Kwame and Petrucka (2021) highlights the importance of thorough evaluation, service, and referral based on a case’s urgency. Patients must receive comprehensive information regarding the necessity, risks, benefits, and alternatives of any suggested medical treatment (AHA, 2018). Another important aspect of upholding patient rights is obtaining informed consent for treatment. According to Faggion Jr (2022), informed consent involves providing information, advice, and recommendations by a healthcare professional regarding available options and the associated risks and benefits of each option. It is imperative to allow patients to seek clarification and pose inquiries before making a decision (Anton et al., 2021). Before initiating any medical intervention, a healthcare practitioner must obtain informed consent from the patient, granting them the autonomy to decline or discontinue the treatment at their discretion (AHA, 2018).
Furthermore, it is within the patient’s right to receive the utmost efficient medical attention that the hospital can offer. Individuals are entitled to receive essential and timely medical attention as needed. In cases where it is deemed medically appropriate and legally permissible, patients may be transferred to alternative healthcare facilities as required (AHA, 2018). The patient must be provided with comprehensive information and a thorough explanation regarding the necessity, potential risks, advantages, and alternative options associated with the transfer. Finally, healthcare professionals must be mindful of any cultural, linguistic, religious, or other differences that could impact the treatment of their patients (Kaihlanen et al., 2019). Individuals must be aware of the requirements of individuals with disabilities and endeavor to ensure that they receive appropriate care that caters to their needs.

After the ISP has been developed by the student and approved by the course faculty, students will initiate a preconference with the faculty and preceptor to review the ISP. -
If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome
If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?
You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.
Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.
