It describes different levels of trauma centers, with Level 2 hospitals having surgeons and anesthesiologists on call daily to manage surgical problems after accidents and illnesses. The document also discusses educating a patient named Sister Mary according to her religious beliefs as a nun. As a compliant person, it will be easy to get her adherence in treatment and education.

1. Religious competence in the provision of healthcare.
Religious competence in the provision of healthcare.Religious competence in the provision
of healthcare.According to Allen, (2018), “Level 2 is the ED in most large and medium size
hospitals, with surgeons and anesthesiologists on call 24 hours daily.” The spectrum of
surgical specialists in such facility is completed with practical knowledge of experienced
professionals in critical care. Thelevel 2 can manage surgical problems after accidents, heart
attacks and strokes etc. Most healthcare professionals are on-call.On the other hand,
“Patients’ values, beliefs, preferences, goals, and view of quality of life differ” (Falvo,
2011).Mary is a woman who lives her life in a monastery where she should be obedient.
Mary is engaged in particular behavior that is characterized her as the compliant person. It
is easy to get her adherence in the process of treatment and education. That is why; this is
an “ideal course of patient education” in collaboration with the health care educator. “When
the patients identify the need for information, they will obviously be more motivated to
seek information and to learn information once it is presented” (Falvo, 2011).So, Sister
Mary should be motivated in the learning process. “Patients can be given information in a
variety of settings, for a variety of reasons” (Falvo, 2011).Sister Mary will be taught from
“department to department” during “neural examination, physical assessment, and
radiographs of her facial bone” and etc where she will receive information about her
current condition. Such education will help the patient to understand following regime of
treatment and learn the ways to prevent possible complications. The information received
from the healthcare educator can help Sister Mary “understand how to carry out treatment
recommendations or toward helping patients understand a procedure they are about to
undergo” (Falvo, 2011). In general, Sister Mary will receive imperative knowledge from
many specialists of how to promote a healthy lifestyle for her in the future, her diet, possible
exercises and etc.In the process of teaching the patient, healthcare professional should take
in an attention the “ individual, social, environmental, and medical factors about each
patient” and provides information that can be utilized by Mary as the nun to determine her
lifestyle in a monastery where she shares everything with other nuns (Falvo,
2011).According to Falvo(2011), “ It is important to consider both s and barriers.” Based
on such situation, the educator should develop an individual plan for Mary to implement
necessary recommendations for improving her health condition.ReferencesAllen, J. (2018,
