Cultural Awareness & The Diagnosis.

(Cultural Awareness & The Diagnosis.)

As the world grows more interconnected, psychologists may experience an increase in the number of clients with diverse backgrounds. As a result, psychologists may benefit from considering a client’s culture and common perceptions of that culture for psychological disorders and diagnosis. For your future role in the field, consider how a client’s cultural perceptions of a disorder may influence the diagnosis of a disorder, specifically in cases of substance use.

For this Discussion, consider how cultural perceptions of substance use may influence client diagnosis.  Also consider the criteria for substance related disorders.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 an explanation of how client culture may influence client perceptions of substance use. Then explain how you might use this information to determine if a client meets the criteria for a substance related disorder.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources and current literature.

Practicum Proposal for MSN – leadership student

(Practicum Proposal for MSN)

Question description

Description:

This is a case study of a student who is in the last semester of her master’s in nursing in nursing leadership. In order to proceed with the practicum, she must present a “practicum proposal”. The practicum proposal is a scholarly paper that must be written in APA format with perfect grammar, as it will be presented to her professor and preceptor. The entire paper should have a tone that constantly refers to the importance of EBP in nursing leadership. Please have a title page and a reference page, and include at least 5 references that have been written within the last 5 years.

Practicum details:

Student: 30 year old female BSN/RN, finishing her master’s degree in health systems leadership.

Preceptor: COO with an MBA, MSN (nursing), and has held several nursing leadership positions.

Required sections of the paper & details:

SECTION 1 – Introduction. I finished the first paragraph of the introduction. Please complete the second paragraph of the introduction, and describe the reason why the essay is being written. Below is the first section that I completed:

The growth of the nursing profession over the last several decades can be described as impressive. The nurse’s expanding and developing role in the complex healthcare environment is awe inspiring to say the least. Nurses’ have gone from providing bedside care in the trenches of society, to clinical specialist, and now regarded as proven leaders in the board room. Due to this growth and rapid development, the nurse’s role continues to be pioneered, developed, and refined. Most recently, and most notably, nurses with advanced degrees and clinical specialties are continuously pioneering the restructuring of their role within healthcare systems. For this reason, the practical aspect of a nurse’s education continues to be essential in the process of bridging the gap between theoretical education and its implementation at the point-of-care. The practical aspect of nursing education has historically relied on the nurse-preceptor to assist the student-nurse in the processes of synthesizing the learned theoretical principles into their practice. As a result of this vital role filled by the nurse-preceptor, the preceptor-student interaction must continue to develop within the principles of Evidence Based Practice (EBP), and held to the same standards as that of theoretical nursing education.

SECTION 2- Goals of the practicum. Described the goals of the practicum. AKA what will the graduate student nursing leader learn from the practicum (paragraph 1). Goals should be written from the perspective of the student, clearly stated and relate to the practicum objective and specialty track outcomes.

Please describe at least 5 goals of the practicum in a table with the SMART goals format.

SECTION 3- Anticipated activities to meet goals should be described. (See provided information in the last section as reference point).

SECTION 4 – Describe the role of the preceptor during the practicum. Including practicum project and activities.

SECTION 5 – Describe the setting. Please infer from provided information.

SECTION 6 – Project proposal: The student in this case study is required to conduct a project. The student in this case study has been assigned by her preceptor to work with the director of the home health division of the organization. The project will be for the student to assist the director of the home health division of the organization in the process of being a nursing leader which includes all of the daily aspects of nursing leadership like budget development, managing staff, marketing, scheduling, billing, etc.

Ethical Dilemma at HighTech

Portfolio Project- Development of an Ethics Foundation:
A Case Study-HighTech, Inc.
Ethical Dilemma at HighTech

(Ethical Dilemma at HighTech)

Question description

Identify the issues, define your ethical decision-making model and ethical theory, explain the options and consequences, and pick the solution you would choose, and why, for the following situation:

Sally, controller and CPA, has been working hard to finish the year-end financial statements for HighTech, Inc. HighTech, Inc. provides social media relationships between users by focusing on up-to-the-minute communications on events—kind of like Instagram. This year is a critical year for the firm. The company is expected to make a profit after five years of product development and losses. In working to complete the year-end financials, Sally finds out that the figures are not logical. In fact, it seems that the company has overstated assets and income by $300 million. Based upon the short investigation that she has been able to complete, it seems that both the CEO and CFO have signed and approved some documents that have inflated the numbers. The documents indicate a realization and recording of the social media customer valuation of future sales into the present accounting period. Every social media customer for the firm generates advertising revenue equal to $5.00 per year. The documents indicate that the social media customer revenue for the year was increased to $7.00 per customer. The incremental revenue was booked on December 30. This lead to an increase in revenue of $300 million and accrual Long Term Account Receivable of $300 million.

Sally is pressured by time (a filing deadline is tomorrow, to get the financial information finalized and printed for the shareholders’ meeting) and the following other considerations:

The shareholders have been promised that an Initial Public Offering (IPO) of the company will be done within the next year. The original founders of the firm are looking at the coming year to issue the IPO. Morgan Stanley has been hired to provide the financial advice on the IPO issuance. The benefits to the stockholders are in the millions.
Sally is a go-getter; she wants to succeed in the company. She sees herself as a CFO in the future. Sally has been with the company for five years. She was one of the first employees hired. She has had excellent annual performance reviews. Upper management sees Sally as part of the team.

Sally is a CPA. She has joined the state CPA organization and the AICPA organization. She has viewed and passed the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct Certification.

Sally has personal pressures since she recently bought a new $500,000 house using all her savings as a down payment, $100,000. Further, her husband recently has taken an unpaid leave from his job due to a difficult illness and medical bills are mounting. He fell at work and needed serious back surgery. He needs special nursing care during the day. Sally helps at night as much as she can.

(Ethical Dilemma at HighTech)

The banks have been patient in providing lending during the rough times but will declare the loans in default and demand immediate repayment if the numbers are not near breakeven.

Answer the following questions:

  • Based on the above given information, what should Sally do?
  • What might be the duty of professional responsibility as a CPA and member of the AICPA?
  • What might Sally’s responsibility to herself be to provide the highest work with integrity, honesty, trustworthy, and transparency?
  • Does Sally have a responsibility to her firm to follow the directions of the president? If yes or no, provide rationale.
  • What standard of rules might help Sally to complete the assignment?
  • What might be the consequences if Sally completes the financial statements within the timeframe and breakeven?

Requirements:

  • Your written paper should be 8 pages in length not counting the title and reference pages, which you must include.
  • Integrate concepts, terms, and theories from the readings and modules contents.
  • You need to cite at least five sources for this portfolio project, outside of the textbook. Four of these sources must come from academic journals.
  • Your paper must be formatted according to the APA
  • Review the grading rubric attached

Assignment: Find The Ergonomic Problems

(Find The Ergonomic Problems)

Ergonomics

Employee safety extends to their workspaces. For HIM Professionals, this often involves an office, cubicle, or other space that contains a desk, computer, monitor, filing cabinets, and so on. You may be seated at that desk for extended periods, and this can lead to discomfort. In extreme cases it can lead to injuries in your back, neck, eyes, or wrists (carpel tunnel).

“Ergonomics” is the engineering and organization of objects and spaces to minimize physical discomfort and potential for accident or injury. It is very important. As an HIM professional, you will be called on to educate new employees. This should always include ergonomic training as well. You may also be called upon to improve workspaces with ergonomics in mind.

Read the Whistle While you Work with Good Ergonomics (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. article on best practices for organizing an HIM workspace.

Assignment:

Look around the area where you are taking this course. Identify three areas that you feel are ergonomically correct and three things that could be improved. ( note:3 thing correct: computer high its right and easy to adjusting, maintain good position, chair can be adjust in the right level of the eyes. 3 thing need to change is the keyboard not in the right place, the ac in the room was way to high, can get sick because outside way to hot, chair cannot adjust the lower back in the right place,). Think about your seat, you desk, the room in which you are seated, the tools you use, and so on. Use the infographic below to help identify things. Did you know that these incorrect items were putting stress on your whole body?

Put your findings in a Word document named “Ergonomics

Scientific Underpinnings

(Scientific Underpinnings)

Scientific underpinnings encompass the foundational principles and methodologies that support scientific inquiry and understanding. These underpinnings are built upon the rigorous application of the scientific method, which involves observation, hypothesis formulation, experimentation, and analysis. Central to this framework is the reliance on empirical evidence and logical reasoning to construct theories and models that explain natural phenomena.

Key elements of scientific underpinnings include reproducibility, where experiments can be independently verified, and falsifiability, meaning hypotheses and theories must be testable and potentially disprovable. Additionally, the concept of parsimony, or Occam’s razor, suggests that simpler explanations are preferred over more complex ones, provided they account for the observed data adequately.

Scientific underpinnings also rely on the cumulative nature of scientific knowledge, with new discoveries building upon existing theories and expanding our understanding of the universe. This iterative process involves peer review and scrutiny, ensuring that scientific findings meet rigorous standards of accuracy and reliability.

Overall, scientific underpinnings provide the framework for organizing and interpreting observations, guiding researchers in their quest to uncover the fundamental principles governing the natural world.

Question description

Your Final Assignment is an opportunity for you to apply the knowledge and strategies you explored during the term. In your Final Assignment, you will create an optimum assisted care “home” or facility where an older adult could live in retirement. Consider the physical and psychological changes that you studied in previous units. Describe at least three physical and three psychological changes that will influence your design of a retirement facility. Include a discussion of how the design of this facility, and the physical, psychological, and social environments, will affect these changes. Be sure to give specific, realistic examples. It is essential that specific interventions that apply to these changes are addressed. In conclusion, provide a summary of how the specific environmental design of this facility and the social opportunities offered might affect daily life style, behaviors, and expected lifespan.

Your Final Assignment should include a cover page, introductory paragraph, citations, concluding paragraph, and reference page. It also should be free of spelling and grammatical errors.

writing project/research paper

(writing project/research paper)

Question description

The individual/team research project is designed to answer one key question:  using a unique theory of leadership, how does leadership and ethical behavior affect employee performance?

Phase I:

 Theory→Hypotheses:

In this first phase, a theory is built about leadership behavior or leader ethical behavior and how those behaviors impact employee performance.  Using text material, research, readings, and in-depth interviews (each will interview at least 4 people; the people interviewed must be employed full-time and not attending our University, and hopefully, those interviewed will be as different from one another as possible).

The specific interview questions will be left up to you, but you should explore the interview subjects’ beliefs about which leadership or ethical behaviors are important, and how these behaviors affect employee performance.  Let them tell you what is important!  Do not provide a set of concepts for them!  For example, one interview question might be:  “When you think about times that you had good leadership, what specific leader behaviors contributed to how you performed?” or “When you think about good ethical leaders, what behaviors stand out as being particularly effective in changing employee behavior/performance?”  Your project can focus on the concepts in this course, but should go beyond those concepts as well.

Phase II:(writing project/research paper)

 Interview Method Description:

This section of your research paper should describe your interview participants (no names or other identifying information), the questions asked in the interviews, the participants’ responses to the interview questions, and the themes/concepts that emerged from the interviews.

Phase III: (writing project/research paper)

Incorporate Interview Data into Theory and Hypotheses:

Once your interviews are completed, you will distill the most interesting themes from your interviews and convert those into specific predictions that can be tested with data.  Hypotheses can focus on the concepts in this course, but (again) should go beyond these concepts as well.  Feel free to focus on the concepts that interest you or your team.  Incorporate your interview data into your Leadership Theory.  Explicitly show the changes you made to your original Leadership Theory based on the interviews.

Express your theory in diagram form.Phase IV:  Recommendations for practicing managers:  Use this section of your paper to make recommendations to practicing managers based on your theory and the interview data that you collected.  No two individuals/teams may present the same leadership theory.  To meet the threshold for a B grade, no fewer than 10, non-textbook, relevant references must be used and cited [use the APA Publication Manual for citation style; this is very important for electronic sources–Internet, etc.].  At least ten sources are required; with at least eight of those sources from current (2011-2015), reputable, peer-reviewed journals.  The other sources may include academic and professional periodicals, government publications (to include CD ROM resources), magazines, and newspaper articles.

All work submitted must be the original work of the student(s), and will be checked for originality using online software (Turnitin.com).  Plagiarism will result in a failing grade for the project, and possible for the course [see Cheating Policy].  This paper should be between 10 and 14 pages in length—hopefully no more than 15 pages.  Number all pages and use American Psychological Association (APA) format, 12-point font, double-spacing (LS = 2), paragraph indention, section headings, and submit in MS-Word format. It need include a title page, executive summary, research report body including introduction, theory/problem/issue, and recommendations/suggestions for managers, (at least one) graphic(s), and references page.  Grades will be based on scholarship, application of course material, use of course research concepts, coherence, reference quality, format, and grammatical correctness, and all research projects will be rated and/or ranked within the class, and grades assigned accordingly (in line with the ratings/rankings).  Your work should look business-like and professional. Written assignments displaying disproportionately poor grammar or a poor quality of written communication skills will be assigned a grade that is at least one letter grade lower than might otherwise have been assigned.  Use Turnitin.com (instructions to be provided in class) to establish the originality of all workBEFORE it is submitted for grading if requested by your instructor.  The Research Project will be due March 20EXAMPLES OF REPUTABLE JOURNALS (primarily in Management & Psychology, and mostly Peer-Reviewed):

Students will then choose one presentation (other than their own) to focus their review on. The review will describe the selected campaign, discuss campaign achievements, assess health promotion methods used and analyze if the selected methods are appropriate for each audience level. Lastly, students will identify and discuss an aspect of each campaign and its connection to the health communication campaign model; social marketing techniques; and/or advocacy concepts.

One discussion board post required (no peer response posts needed). Use the bulleted outline to help you organize your responses. Address each of the aspects below for full credit.

Describe the campaign you chose to review and why you were interested in learning more about this campaign.
