Use this scenario presented to answer the following short answer questions.   Christina is a 25 year old Mexican-born female who lives with her male partner in Atlanta, Georgia. She moved to the United States about 6 months ago, and speaks primarily Spanish. Christina and her partner plan to get married in the next 3 months. Not only is Christina excited about marriage, but this will help her have access to affordable health care through her spouse’s employee-based health benefits.   Unfortunately, Christina is not currently employed full-time; she works at a fast-food restaurant 20 hours a week. She is often told by her employer that in order to be promoted at the restaurant, she needs to speak better English, which is frustrating for Christina as she is still trying to learn. Also, Christina wants to get promoted so she can work full-time and receive employee-benefits through her employer. To help her handle her current stress levels related to work, Christina would like to start exercising on a regular basis. However, she can only walk and run during daylight hours, since her community lacks sidewalks and evening lighting. This makes it harder to exercise because it conflicts with her hours working.   Recently, Christina visited a local community clinic for her annual exam. Her healthcare provider began the conversation by asking if she had a boyfriend. Christina told her doctor that she was planning to get married to her male partner soon. At this visit, she received the HPV vaccine and also had a Pap Smear screening. Christina was happy to find out that her Pap Smear result did not detect anything and she was in good health. 1.

Rimpi is a 19 year old female and lives in a poor rural village of north east India. She is married, has 2 male children (a 3 year old and a 1 year old) and is currently pregnant. Rimpi works in her home and is responsible for the meals, house work, child care, wood collection, animal care, and may other physical responsibilities. In Rimpi’s village there are no obstetricians in the area and Rimpi has to walk 54km down dangerous terrain in order to receive limited prenatal care. Unfortunately her family makes very little and she is not able to make her own health care decisions, so she does not receive regular care. Rimpi was pregnant once before, with a girl, and her husband forced her have an abortion. In addition, her husband regularly yells at her and occasionally is physically violent. When Rimpi finally goes into labor, she has to give birth at home. Rimpi experiences a prolonged labor and multiple complications. Rimpi ultimately died giving childbirth. Unfortunately, this is not uncommon in poor rural areas, where maternal mortality is high and the status of women is low.   b) What are 2 solutions to prevent future cases similar to Rimpi’s. Provide justification for each and explain how this would have impacted Rimpi’s situation. (4 points)
