Professional Presence Question A 1 Health beliefs are one of the factors that determine ones health. This is because, beliefs exert a powerful influence through how the body, mind, and spirit interact. All the existing healing models have different maladies of the human condition, but seek to treat one health problem. This part of the paper seeks to discuss the difference between the bio-psycho-social health model and the body-mind health model. To contemplate the difference between the two health models, it is important to first understand the difference between the mind and the body. The body can be defined as an organism made up of various parts that enhance the different mechanisms to function appropriately. Therefore, all the body parts are interdependent for their functionality. The mind is composed of information and conditioning from our experiences. Thus, the mind is used to synthesize information collected. On the other hand, the brain acts as a device in which the mind operates. Thus, the brain cannot function without the mind as the core element to its functionality. In simple terms, the brain can be compared to a smartphone while the mind can be compared to an operating system. A smartphone cannot operate without the operating system, and so it the operating system. Additionally, the device breaks, the information can be transferred to another device. The mind is only fed with information and this can be recollected. Therefore, it would be appropriate to assert that the mind and body are incomplete without the spirit. The bio-psycho-social health model adopts a religious and spiritual approach rather than a medical approach in enhancing health, healing and relieving pain. The model advocates for spirituality and religion as more important compared to treatment through medical diagnosis PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE (Marks, 2005). As a result, this health model is defined by three main components as discussed below. One, the model asserts that healing does not only entail healing specific symptoms, but instead should encompass the general health and well being of a person, community, and the family. Therefore, this can only be realized spiritually and religiously as they inform some actions which promote both physical and mental health. Secondly, the model asserts that for some people and families, their health experiences are related to their spiritual concerns. These concerns may showcase through either emotional or physical symptoms (Marks, 2005). Thirdly, the models assert that any health approach does not only seek to treat the physical ailment, but also ensure one has comfort and support to the individual, family, and the community (Marks, 2005). Therefore, from the above discussion it would be appropriate to conclude that, based on the bio-psycho-social health model, treatment is beyond treating the physical symptoms through medical procedures but should also encompass the well being of the society and family. Concerning the body-mind health model, it is based on the fact that one’s emotional state directly affects the physical well being and vice-versa. This is because the mind and the body are interdependent. Therefore, for the mind to function appropriately, the body too has to be functioning appropriately, and for the body to function appropriately, the mind should be functioning appropriately (Chan et al., 2002). This shows the interconnectedness between the body and the mind. Therefore, for one to be described as healthy and well-being, they should be physically and mentally fit. Question A 2 One of the contests concerning the medical sector is question on whether the western or the eastern healing model is superior. The western model is generally known as an orthodox of medicine. It is mainly used by health practitioners in health facilities. Patients are treated using PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE prescription, surgical operations, among other medicinal methods. On the other hand, the eastern healing model relies on the connection between the mind, body, and spirit to heal. It mainly relies on spiritual practices of healing such as meditation, rather than the use of pharmaceutical drugs, operations and tests. The eastern healing model uses a more natural approach of healing symptoms by use of herbs among other natural strategies. The main advantage of the western healing model is that it has a quick effectivity, compared to the eastern model. However, the medication does not always treat the root cause of the problem. Additionally, the pharmaceutical drugs can negatively affect the body. Concerning the eastern healing model, it can be effective on particular symptoms such as body aches and pains, despite lack of scientific research on the same. It has proved helpful especially in enhancing weight loss. The main disadvantage attributed to the eastern healing approach is the fact that there is little scientific facts known about it. Question A 3 Distractions and mindfulness have adverse implications in my nursing practice. This is because am more likely to concentrate on one task such as educating a patient or administer drugs when am mindful to a single task. Additionally, am less likely to react negatively to someone’s mistake. This prompts my response to be high, especially when am mindful about a certain issue. For example, am fast in responding to a patient when am mindful in comparison to when am distracted. Therefore, distractions are more likely to affect my capability to offer quality services. When distracted I find it hard to make appropriate and timely decisions and may cause errors especially when administering drugs. Additionally, distractions reduce my capability to get things done on time. This is because I may take breaks amid a task as compared to when being PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE mindful. Distractions can also enhance the procrastination of duties. Distractions are mainly influenced by financial constraints and some patients’ bad attitude. B. Personality Preferences Question B 1 (Jung, n.d) Question B 2 The Jung personality test do not accurately describe me. However, some of the personalities describe who I am.

Even when am around familiar people PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE such as in a meeting at work, I tend to listen to other people opinion more than share my opinions. However, I am very dependable person and also responsible. Probably this informs why I have several team leader chores at my work place. I also tend to focus on what is at hand and commit my self to the end of the task. I also rely on facts, especially in discussions and when handling practical matters. I feel my career choice as an accountant exhibit my concentration skills and commitment to the allocated duties. Concerning what didn’t work for me, despite the fact am an introvert, I easily lose my control when offended. I have lost my patience especially when am experiencing stressful episodes. I am also offended by criticism and cannot withstand someone to criticize me without valid reasons. However, I care about the feelings of others and only utter when necessary. As a result of this, I have never gotten into a confrontation with any on my colleagues a work. I let them have their say first always before provide my contribution. Question B 3 One of the amin challenging personality is my introvert trait. I rarely share my feelings and also find it hard to share them with others. I like keeping my feelings to myself. This has resulted into conflict in some instances, especially when dealing with an extrovert person, and easily share their feelings. However, since am aware of this, I can take it to my advantage and prepare myself adequately and in advance to express my opinion. This will help curtain any conflict that might emerge. This will be done if I know that I will have a meeting, or attend a workshop with my colleagues. To plan for this, I would first socializing with familiar people as I build my courage and be able to face strangers and more people. Another challenge occurs when we engaging with colleagues who we don’t share similar sense of responsibilities or duties. I find it hard to understand people who fail on their promises since it inconveniences everyone, thus a loss of time. When such a scenario PROFESSIONAL PRESENCE happens, I find it hard to tolerate and engage them more. However, having known this, I engage the persons on how important it is to deliver on time. By communicating myself, I have found it easy handling such scenarios. C.
