write 250 words that respond to the following
questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and
use examples to reinforce your ideas.
Conduct an interview (you must conduct the interview physically, in person) with a health care or non-health care
professional who works with the identified vulnerable population at your chosen (and faculty-approved) agency. (I chose the veterans home in Payson, UT to visit and Shelly is who I talked to).
This person may be a social worker, case manager, agency director, minister, and so on. ( Shelly is a TRT therapeutic Recreational Technician).
You will need to collect the following information during the interview and discuss it in this week’s Discussion Board:
Describe the setting and the role of the professional in the care, guidance, and assistance of the vulnerable population. Where did the interview take place? (Shelly is someone that helps to coordinate care for the patient such as care and improvement with physical, social, and emotional skills. I met her in the lobby and was able to ask questions about what the facility offers, ask about the patients, as well as see the facility itself).
Discuss 2-3 ethical issues or considerations of
managing the vulnerable population group’s care. (confidentiality is a big ethical issue, as well as boundaries of competence)
Identify 2-3 potential evidence-based related
education interventions that you could do (for the population or family) to improve the vulnerable population’s health outcomes based on your assessment and feedback from the agency.
(ketamine treatments could help the veteran community as well as exposure therapy, and yoga). here is the link for the yoga information

Choose 1 evidence-based related education
intervention to improve the health outcomes of this vulnerable population based on your assessment of the population, and explain why you chose it as well as how you anticipate the education intervention to improve their health.
(I have chosen ketamine treatment/therapy for my evidence based related education intervention. I chose it because I have an old co-worker that runs a ketamine clinic and it helps so many people with depression, PTSD, suicidal ideation, anxiety, etc. I believe veterans could really benefit from it and help them live a more “normal” life with having less PTSD episodes).

How will an interprofessional collaborative approach to this educational intervention potentially improve the health outcomes of this vulnerable population?
