Assignment 4: Introduction to RA, LASA, and Portfolio

A required assignment (RA) is a substantive assessment intended to measure students’ performance against selected course objectives and/or program outcomes within a course. RAs are completed by all students across all Argosy University campuses and delivery formats without exception. Each RA assignment contributes to a significant portion of the overall course grade and is assessed by faculty using the rubric designed for that assessment. These are individual assignments, and students earn individual grades. RAs are not intended to assess students on every topic covered in the course but just on the key course objectives and/or program outcomes.

A Learning Assessment System Assignment (LASA) is a signature assessment intended to measure students’ performance against selected course objectives and/or program outcomes within a course. These signature assessments are completed by all students across all Argosy University campuses and delivery formats without exception. Each assignment contributes to a significant portion of the overall course grade and is assessed by faculty using the rubric designed for that assessment. These are individual assignments, and students earn individual grades. Both the signature assignments and related rubrics become part of the Learning Outcome Manager database and are used in the aggregate to evaluate levels of student learning, as well as the effectiveness of the curriculum, course content, and faculty. The combined results of the signature assessments across an entire academic program provide a comprehensive picture of the students’ academic programs. This data drives the continuous improvement cycle as part of comprehensive program reviews conducted by the colleges.

In this course, there is one RA and one LASA assignment that make up 50% of your total class grade.

In the RA assignment, you will develop a paper that will help uncover your multicultural background as well as any potential ethical challenges you may face both in counseling and supervision. Your final product will be in a Microsoft Word document and be approximately 5–7 pages in length. Utilize three to five scholarly sources in your research (not including relevant codes of ethics and laws). Click here to read the description of RA.

The LASA assignment will help individuals not only apply an ethical decision-making model but also clearly identify a conceptual model for risk management that can be used throughout one’s clinical practice. Your final product will be in a Microsoft Word paper and be approximately 8–10 pages in length. Utilize approximately six to eight scholarly sources in your research. Click here to read the description of LASA.

Referral Information And The Interview Process For Drug Addiction

/in /by

Was supposed to be Due by Sunday 01/31 by 8:00 pm however tutor fell through.. I need ASAP within 8-10 hours please…..  No exceptions or excuses. Follow all instructions precisely and accurately. Professor is picky…..Thank You….

 

 

A court system refers a person who was found to be over the legal limit for drinking to Alcoholics Anonymous.

 

A doctor who has a patient exhibiting symptoms of methamphetamine addiction refers the patient to an addictions counselor.

 

A probation officer working with an individual who has a history of illegal gambling refers to the individual to an addictions professional specializing in gambling.

 

Referral is a central aspect of the addictions profession. Addictions professionals often both accept referrals and administer them. Few individuals truly begin therapy as a “blank slate.” Addictions professionals need to know how to integrate referral information into the interview to maximize interview time and to tailor the questions to the individual’s unique history and background of behaviors. Like any profession, the addictions profession uses certain terminology in assessments settings to describe observable behaviors, which also aids the integration of referral information for desired results.

 

In this Assignment, you review a case study that includes the type of information typical in a referral situation. You apply professional terminology to summarize client status and create interview questions.

 

 

 

To prepare:

 

 

 

Review the Learning Resources, including the following references: Which are required for this assignment. You may use additional resources/references.

 

 

  • The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Substance Abuse Treatment
    • Chapter 5, “Assessment of the Patient”
  • Perkinson, R. R. (2012). Chemical dependency counseling: A practical guide (4th ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE.
    • Chapter 4, “The Biopsychosocial Interview”
    • Appendix 6, “Sample Biopsychosocial Interview”****Focus on the case study of Jane Roberts (See below)****

 

 

 

Assignment Directions:

 

 

 

Submit by Day 7 a 3- to 4-page paper (Not including title or reference pg.) in which you do the following:

 

 

 

  • Based on the review of the Jane Roberts case study, in 1–3 paragraphs use professional terminology to describe the mental, physical, and behavioral characteristics of the client.
  • Create 10 interview questions integrating the referral information from the case study provided. Provide your rationale for your choice of questions

 

 

 

Jane Roberts case summary

 

 

 

Jane is single and a beautician. Father died when she was young. She was raised by an emotionally distant alcoholic mother. She felt abandoned all her life which led to her drinking starting in her teenage years. She strived for affection and attention from other men which led to addiction to sex. Was confused between sex and love. She has men who were abusive, which led to her not having assertive skills to the point where she had trouble for asking what she wanted and problems expressing how she feels. Her alcohol started increasing, which led to her take valium to sleep. Therefore, addiction to valium increased to double the dosage. She has no social system except for her boyfriend of 2 months. The psychological testing showed she is emotionally unstable and manipulative. She breaks the rules of society to get her own way. She is suffering from mild depressive symptoms, along with daily anxiety.

 

 

 

Jane Roberts problems are as follows:

 

 

 

1.      Extended withdrawal from alcohol and valium, as evidence by autonomic arousal and elevated vital signs.

 

2.      Inability to maintain sobriety outside a structured program of recovery, as evidenced by client having tried to quit using chemicals many times unsuccessfully.

 

3.      Anemia, as evidenced by chronic history of low red blood cell counts.

 

4.      Upper respiratory infection, as evidenced by sore throat and rhinitis.

 

5.      Fear of rejection and abandonment, as evidenced by client feeling abandoned by both her mother and her father now clinging to relationships even when abusive.

 

6.      Poor relationship skills, as evidenced by client not sharing the truth about how she feels or asking for what she wants, leaving her unable to establish and maintain intimate relationships.

 

7.      Dishonesty, as evidenced by client chronically lying about her chemical use history.

 

8.      Poor assertiveness skills, as evidenced by client allowing other people to make important decisions for her, inhibiting her from developing a self-directed program of recovery.

community perception towards nurses and the nursing profession

/in /by

Question descriptionThis course has been amazingly interesting to me and I quite enjoyed seeing the theorists behind my every day nursing practice. I do not I think I realized how hard the nurses before had to work and advocate to ensure our patients were receiving the best care, and to ensure nursing was a valued and respected profession. We have made significant strides since the times many of these theorists were implementing their ideas, and modern-day nurses have these nurses to thank! It is because of them I am able to work in a safe environment to provide safe care to my patients, and that nurses are now respected to speak up and advocate for the health of our patients. They allowed us to actually care and feel with our patients instead of just doing tasks directed by others. I love my profession, and these theorists made nursing the way it is today. This course has given me more respect for this profession and it has given me new insight into how I treat my patients and why my nursing practice is the way that it is. Hopefully it has inspired some to create new nursing theory and to continue to advance this profession!

According to Colley, nursing theory gives nurses a sense of identity, and a directed way to care for patients; it allows nursing to be viewed as a unique profession and shows nurses can greatly contribute to healthcare (Colley, 2003). I do believe I have met the objectives of this course. I understand how these theories set the foundation for nursing to be multicultural, caring, and a profession of advocacy. I understand how patients are not just their illness, but parts of health and illness. Nursing theorists have allowed current nurses to advocate and educate our patients, ensuring we are preventing further instances of illness. This course has allowed me to think and view how these theories apply to my current practice and how I can better for my patients in my day to day work. I am able to think about their theories and I have been finding myself spending more quality time with patients due to learning about these theories. I found the importance of this class to be more one of caring and on a deeper level than just nursing skill and tasks. In my associate degree program, the goal was to ensure I could perform the tasks in order to safely be a nurse. This course has allowed me to view nursing in a broader light and to be able to focus on the critical thinking aspect of the profession and made me think of how I can better forward this profession.

Project proposal

Project Title: Cleaning project proposal

Project proponent: Go Green Company

Summary of the project

The project idea was prompted by increasing urban pollution, especially in impoverished areas. Research conducted several weeks ago indicated that these individuals lack proper systems of garbage disposal since some of the companies offering these services are expensive. These individuals live on less than a dollar a day, the cost of garbage disposal as per our records indicates that some of the companies charge up to 5 dollars on a weekly basis. Many people, therefore, opted to throw garbage on the streets. Heaps of non-recyclable matter creates a foul smell in the environment making some of these areas inhabitable. The recyclable materials pollute the environment since they are not able to degrade. Several issues arose from the issue of pollution. Most real estate agents claim that these areas are bad for their businesses since most people shun away when the environment is unwelcoming. Some of these areas are therefore left abandoned creating hubs for thugs and, therefore, record higher numbers of crime rates. Huge numbers of street people also characterize them since they readily find food there.

Go Green Company aims at creating a conducive environment by eliminating recyclable waste. The company encourages the recycling of polyethylene products and, therefore, helps in reducing land pollution. This project aims to create a conducive environment by eliminating both recyclable and non-recyclable waste from these environments.  This project will be a diversion from the original company mission of preventing pollution. It will work to reduce the effects of pollution in the already polluted areas and encourage a more realistic way of garbage disposal and maintenance of cleanliness in the environment. The beneficiaries of this project will be the inhabitants and potential inhabitants of these areas. The other beneficiaries will include the real estate agents that manage home in these areas since clean environments encourage the settlement of people. The major investor in this project will include real estate agents, homeowners, environmental agencies and the Go Green Company.

Project goals

By the end of the implementation of the project, it would have attained the following goals

1.  Encouraged settlement of individuals in these areas

2.  Lessen the burden of garbage collection and dirt in these areas.

3.  Create a recycling where revenues can be generated.

Project objectives

1.  To clean the environment off waste including both recyclable and non-recyclable

2.  To decrease the amount of money people pay for garbage collection by creating a proper system for garbage disposal.

3.  To create a better environment and encourage staying

Stakeholders and customers

As mentioned above, our customers will be the inhabitants of these areas and the stakeholders will include real estate agents, homeowners, environmental agencies and the Go Green Company.

Milestones for the delivery of this project

Some of the milestones will include:

Proper cooperation with the inhabitants since some of the cleaning workforce will come from them.

Since it begins as a non-profit project for the good will of the communities, some of the investors may back out when they lose hopes of returns on investment.

Failure of coordination since most of the project activities overlap.

The project may face resistance from the thugs who view the abandoned places as their hub.

Project timeline

Step 1: The project will begin by creating awareness to the individuals in the community of what the companies decide to do.

Step 2: Recruiting the cleaning team. This will include some of the cleaning companies and willing inhabitants.

Step 3: The cleaning process will commence. A common dumping site will be created where individuals will separate organic from inorganic matter.

Step 4: Recycling of recyclable matter.

Step 5: Creation of a proper garbage system collection through installing of dumping sites.

The overall cost of the project

The estimated cost of the project will be around $15000. This will be broken down as follows.

Since the area is about the 2-mile square, cleaning will take an average of two weeks with a workforce of about 50 people. Each person will earn around $10 a day for its charity work and therefore for 14 days it will be $7000. At the dumping site, the whole process will take $4000 since some of the waste will have to be destroyed and some recycled.  The creation of permanent dumping sites will cost $2000. And eventually the last $2000 will be used to buy equipment needed for this whole process.

Strategies and tactics of the Kmart/Sears Corporation

/in /by

Question description

With prior topics’ discussion of the evolution of industries and core competencies as a background, you will now begin to explore a variety of tools and options related to the design of the organization, beginning with strategies and tactics, and how innovation can be applied to make an organization more competitive within an industry.

Beyond the Fluid Phase of its industry, an organization emphasizes innovation in its organizational processes and this necessitates an examination of organizational structure. In industries beyond the Fluid Phase of the Abernathy model, organizational structures are increasingly mechanistic and less conducive to change. And yet, the long-term survival of these companies is dependent upon change. Effective operation of an enterprise requires both a long-term strategic and a short-term tactical plan.

Activity: Strategies and Tactics Paper

You will examine strategies and tactics to familiarize yourself with their purpose, function, and the role they play when organizations seek to advance by being innovative. Writing this will help you understand the selected company’s strategies and tactics and how they affect the company’s planning and operations.

Task Description

  • Continue to research the web, various publications, and any other relevant sources for information on either the Walt Disney Company’s expansion into Euro Disney or Kmart/Sears’ strategies and tactics.
  • Prepare a six- to eight-page paper.

The paper should contain three sections identified below.

Background (choose one or the other)

  • Background on either Disney’s move into Europe.
  • The history of Kmart or Sears pre-merger.

Body

  • Defines strategies and tactics.
  • Identifies two critical actions performed that strategically and tactically had a positive effect on the company.
  • Identifies two critical actions performed that strategically and tactically had a negative effect on the company.
  • Provides support for your decisions.
  • Includes a bibliography (set of references) of the research (not included in page count).

Reflections

Your personal thoughts on:

  • The importance of strategies and tactics.

Organization Enterprise Plan and Security Policy

/in /by

Question description

Organization Enterprise Plan and Security Policy

Prepare a security plan for your chosen organization that provides a security awareness policy using the security policy framework outline prepared in Project 1 according to the Critical Infrastructure document which concentrates on the following integral keywords to cover the necessary elements of an organization security plan.  These are: Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. The plan is a capstone of the work that you have accomplished in this course. You will use your outline to guide the outcome of the plan in addition to the keywords. The plan is an enterprise plan and security policy that includes the following considerations, analysis approach, and protections for the enterprise::

  • Identify threats and vulnerabilities.
  • Assign appropriate security controls to protect the infrastructure of the organization.
  • Identify vulnerability scans and effective risk management protocols to ensure protections remain current and effective and detect any issues.
  • Initiate an incident response plan for responding to problems.
  • Develop a business continuity and disaster recovery plan to recover from interruptions in business whether manmade or geographical

This plan must be completed and submitted in MS Word format. Use your chosen organization from Project 1 and the outline as a resource.

From the Critical Infrastructure document, align your organizational plan to reflect the intent of the document as follows from an excerpt taken from the document and ensure you read the document in its entirety:

“The Framework complements, and does not replace, an organization’s risk management and cybersecurity program. The organization can use its current processes and leverage the Framework to identify opportunities to strengthen and communicate its management of cybersecurity risk while aligning with industry practices. Alternatively, an organization without an existing cybersecurity program can use the Framework as a reference to establish one.

Just as the Framework is not industry-specific, the common taxonomy of standards, guidelines, and practices that it provides also is not country-specific. Organizations outside the United States may also use the Framework to strengthen their own cybersecurity efforts, and the Framework can contribute to developing a common language for international cooperation on critical infrastructure cybersecurity.

1.1 Overview of the Framework

The Framework is a risk-based approach to managing cybersecurity risk, and is composed of three parts: the Framework Core, the Framework Implementation Tiers, and the Framework Profiles. Each Framework component reinforces the connection between business drivers and cybersecurity activities. These components are explained below.

·  The Framework Core is a set of cybersecurity activities, desired outcomes, and applicable references that are common across critical infrastructure sectors. The Core presents industry standards, guidelines, and practices in a manner that allows for communication of cybersecurity activities and outcomes across the organization from the executive level to the implementation/operations level. The Framework Core consists of five concurrent and continuous Functions—Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover. When considered together, these Functions provide a high-level, strategic view of the lifecycle of an organization’s management of cybersecurity risk. The Framework Core then identifies underlying key Categories and Subcategories for each Function, and  matches them with example Informative References such as existing standards,  guidelines, and practices for each Subcategory.

·  Framework Implementation Tiers (“Tiers”) provide context on how an organization views cybersecurity risk and the processes in place to manage that risk. Tiers describe the degree to which an organization’s cybersecurity risk management practices exhibit the characteristics defined in the Framework (e.g., risk and threat aware, repeatable, and adaptive). The Tiers characterize an organization’s practices over a range, from Partial (Tier 1) to Adaptive (Tier 4). These Tiers reflect a progression from informal, reactive responses to approaches that are agile and risk-informed. During the Tier selection process, an organization should consider its current risk management practices, threat environment, legal and regulatory requirements, business/mission objectives, and organizational constraints.

·  A Framework Profile (“Profile”) represents the outcomes based on business needs that an organization has selected from the Framework Categories and Subcategories. The Profile can be characterized as the alignment of standards, guidelines, and practices to the Framework Core in a particular implementation scenario. Profiles can be used to identify opportunities for improving cybersecurity posture by comparing a “Current” Profile (the “as is” state) with a “Target” Profile (the “to be” state). To develop a Profile, an organization can review all of the Categories and Subcategories and, based on business drivers and a risk assessment, determine which are most important; they can add Categories and Subcategories as needed to address the organization’s risks. The Current Profile can then be used to support prioritization and measurement of progress toward the Target Profile, while factoring in other business needs including cost-effectiveness and innovation. Profiles can be used to conduct self-assessments and communicate within an organization or between organizations.

1.2 Risk Management and the Cybersecurity Framework

Risk management is the ongoing process of identifying, assessing, and responding to risk. To manage risk, organizations should understand the likelihood that an event will occur and the resulting impact. With this information, organizations can determine the acceptable level of risk for delivery of services and can express this as their risk tolerance.

With an understanding of risk tolerance, organizations can prioritize cybersecurity activities, enabling organizations to make informed decisions about cybersecurity expenditures. Implementation of risk management programs offers organizations the ability to quantify and communicate adjustments to their cybersecurity programs. Organizations may choose to handle risk in different ways, including mitigating the risk, transferring the risk, avoiding the risk, or accepting the risk, depending on the potential impact to the delivery of critical services.

The Framework uses risk management processes to enable organizations to inform and prioritize decisions regarding cybersecurity. It supports recurring risk assessments and validation of business drivers to help organizations select target states for cybersecurity activities that reflect desired outcomes. Thus, the Framework gives organizations the ability to dynamically select and direct improvement in cybersecurity risk management for the IT and ICS environments.”

Format: Provide a security policy and plan that will include the framework, essential plans for inclusion in the enterprise, risk management strategies, and recommended solutions for a baseline security control assessment. Refer to NIST 800-39 and FIPS 200 plus NIST 800-53-4. Double space the document. Use APA. Complete with in cite citations and add a reference page. Write DRAFT on the upper right hand corner. Include your name and Project Name on a cover sheet.
