Betty’s Treatment and Management
Following this case, Betty has identified the best management option for her disease as to
incorporate a multidisciplinary approach of care. Multidisciplinary care is an integrated team
approach to healthcare (pcc4u.org, 2019). The assessment of treatment options and planning are
collaborative and takes into account parties concerned, i.e. medical professionals in unity with
the patient and their families. Betty chooses this approach to counter her disease. A
multidisciplinary approach is essential, given that it produces the best results and improved
health outcomes eventually. This is so as this approach incorporates several professionals from
either one or more organizations that come to work together to provide comprehensive patient
care (Baldwin, Wittenberg-Lyles, Oliver, Demiris, 2011). These professionals include general
practitioners, nurses, both practice and community health nurses, private and statutory
community health professionals like psychologists, social workers, occupational therapists,
physiotherapists, dieticians and care educators.
In Bettys’ case, this will involve planning a patient-centered care approach. This plan will
include a care strategy established through aids from all significant disciplines and assessment of
the patient and the family itself. The team will need to work together and come up with the best
solutions of how this care will be accorded to Betty by considering her medical condition and
history plus all the comorbidities, bodily and psychological symptoms, spiritual, social and
cultural concerns and advanced care planning priorities (Meier, Beresford, 2008). Furthermore,

Factors to Consider in Betty’s End of Life Care
The key factors in Bettys end life care plan include patient-centered care, communication,
and shared decision making between all the parties involved, and finally the last important factor
in the plan is family care and involvement. Effective communication is significant in promoting
an understanding among the relevant parties. Patient-centered care not only promotes satisfaction
among the patients but also improve patient’s outcome. All this will help Betty live peacefully
and comfortably in the time she has remaining to live.

Impact of Cultural Attitude on Patient and Family Care
Intercultural communication assesses and accords data among individuals of various
cultures where cultural values and norms vary across the board. In such an event communication
becomes very hard since these people will fail to understand one another in the long run (Shahid,
Bessarab, van Schaik, Aoun & Thompson, 2013). In Army’s story by pcc4u.org (2019), when
interacting with an individual from a linguistically and culturally different background in our
case as in Amys' case, it is important to acknowledge several factors and how one communicates
primarily in this scenario where Amy is a patient. There is a need to use a language that is not
disrespectful and at the same time, not annoying.
The attitude of the staff, in this case, will depend entirely on how they deem that culture.
Some individuals dislike other culture while some prefer them. Therefore, the attitudes that these
are conducted regularly. These conferences are significant in achieving the education and
information requirements of betty and her healthcare giver.
