EDRC 529 PRE- PRACTICUM IN REHABILITATION COUNSELING

MIDTERM EXAM

  1. Describe how culture can play a major part in the counseling process. How should a counselor handle a client with a differing cultural background? (20)

2. Following is a client narrative from a counseling session. At each point where the typescript has an asterisk [*], provide a counselor response and identify what type of response it is.(20)

When I went back home last weekend, my parents told me that they had decided to separate and maybe divorce [*] and it really threw me. [*] Then they watched me the entire weekend, I guess to see how I was reacting to them. [*] Anyhow, I just pulled in and didn’t give them anything to react to. I couldn’t. I didn’t know what to say. [*] I mean, I knew that they had been having some trouble, but I never expected this. So they just unloaded and what was I to do with that? [*] What would you do? [*] By Saturday night, I had to get out, get away from the house, because all I was doing was staying in my room and crying, [*] so I called a friend and we went out and really got wasted. I haven’t been so drunk in a long time. [*] Then Sunday morning, I was, like, really feeling it, and that’s when they chose to try to have a conversation with me about their reasons for deciding to separate. I mean, I just couldn’t hack it and so I packed up and left early to come back to school.[*]

  1. What do you think is the most important stage of the counseling relationship?    Why? How does your choice reflect your theoretical biases? Your own cultural background and values? Your gender? Would you consider yourself      more attuned to what people do, to what people think, or to how people feel? How much of people’s reactions can be attributed to their personal  qualities? How much to their current environment? How much to their cultural background?
  2. Listed next are four client situations. For the first two, develop and write an      example of a self-disclosure response you might make to this client. For the second two, develop and write an example of an immediacy response you      could use with this client. (20)

a. The client hints that he wants to tell you something, but he is reluctant to do so because it is something he feels very ashamed of.

b. The client believes she is the only person who has ever felt guilty about a particular issue.

c. You experience a great deal of tension and caution between yourself and the client. You both seem to be treating each other with kid gloves. You are aware of physical sensations of tension in your body, and you observe signs of similar sensations in the client.

d. You and your client like each other a great deal and have a lot in common. Lately, you have been spending more time swapping life stories than focusing on or dealing with the client’s presented concern of career indecision.

  1. Respond in writing to each of the following three client      messages. (20)
  2. Client:      “I’m tired of sitting at home alone, but I feel so uncomfortable going out      by myself.”
    1. Cognitive       part of message:  
    2. Affective       part of message:  
    3. Paraphrase       of cognitive part:  
    4. Paraphrase       of affective part:

    1. Cognitive part of message:  
    2. Affective part of message:  
    3. Paraphrase of cognitive part:  
    4. Paraphrase of affective part:  
  4. Client:   “The pressure from my job is a lot to contend with, but I expected it”      (said with strained voice, furrowed brow, twisting of hands).
    1. Cognitive  part of message:  
    2. Affective part of message:  
    3. Reflection of content:                                                                                                       __

o prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review Chapter 6 of your course text Writing and Communicating for Criminal Justice. Consider the elements of both effective and ineffective verbal communication (oral and written).
  • Review the article “What Do We Really Know About Witness Preparation?” Think about the process of witness preparation and how it relates  in the courtroom. Then consider how witness preparation impacts the benefits of effective communication and consequences  in the courtroom.
  • Review the article “Witness Preparation Training With Real and Simulated Criminal Defendants,” and think about aspects of effective communication that are relayed in witness preparation, as well as what benefits they may produce. Also, consider the consequences of ineffective courtroom communication that may result from a lack of witness preparation.
  • Review the assigned chapters in your course text Coping With Cross-Examination and Other Pathways to Effective Testimony, and think about the potential benefits and consequences of effective and ineffective communication in the courtroom.
  • Review the course media, “Chapter 5,” and focus on strategies for effective communication in the courtroom.
  • Review the course media, “Criminal Trial” and “ Civil Trial.” Select two examples of effective communication and two examples  in the courtroom. Then think about the potential benefits of the effective communication examples you selected, as well as the potential consequences of the ineffective communication examples you selected.

 

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the examples of  (in)&effective communication in the courtroom that you selected (two examples for each).

Reaching out a Solution

(Reaching out a Solution)

Instructions

Reaching out a Solution

This assignment is designed to assist you in developing a thoughtful process for advocating about an issue as a nurse, from identifying a problem that needs to be solved through articulating a process for doing so.

This assignment consists of answering each of the questions listed below from the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter of your course textbook. Write each question as a new topic area; then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. Be sure to use APA guidelines for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources, if any used. This project should be no longer than 4 pages.

Let us assume that you are a school nurse in a high school. At a recent school athletic event, a spectator suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. A coach of the home team went into the high school to fetch the automatic emergency defibrillator (AED) only to find out that it was not readily available. In the meantime, an emergency squad arrived and resuscitated the spectator. On Monday morning, you learn of the absence of the AED only to find out that it had been locked in the custodian’s closet. Reflect on the following questions outlined in the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter:

  • What is the issue?
  • Is it my issue, and can I solve it?
  • Is this the real issue or merely a symptom of a larger one?
  • Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?
  • Is it likely to go away by itself?
  • Can I risk ignoring it?
  • What are the possible solutions? Are there risks to these solutions?
  • What steps would you need to take in order to solve the issue?
  • Does anyone else at the school need to be involved in the solution?
  • Where is the power leverage in the school to reach the preferred solution?

Reaching a solution requires the use of power vested in the nurse. Review Box 9-1 (Sources of Power) and determine which type(s) of power the school nurse has in this situation. State your reasons for your answer.

Submission Details:

  • Submit your response in a 4-page Microsoft Word document.
  • Name your document SU_NSG4068_W4_Project_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.
  • Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
  • Cite sources in the APA format on a separate page.

PLEASE READ RESPOND TO THIS POST ACCORDINGLY USING APA AND REFERENCES AT LEAST 2 ( WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS WRITER DISCUSSED IN THE READING?

 

I selected the Iowa model of evidence-based practice.  Titler and colleagues initially developed the Iowa model of evidence-based practice in 1994 to provides direction

for the development of evidence-based practice in clinical agency were triggers that can be problem-focused evolving from risk management data, process improvement data,

benchmarking data, financial data, clinical problems, knowledge-focused such as new research findings, change in national agencies or organizational standards and guidelines,

an expanded philosophy of care, or questions from institutional standards committee initiate the change; and the focus should always be to make the change based on the best

available evidence (Grove, 2015, p. 483).

This model should be effective for implementing EBP in any area of practice as long as triggers are evaluated and prioritized based on the needs of the practice to prompt a

focused action from the organization, an action that is guided by the most appropriate evidence-based research practice available. Once the trigger is prioritized, a group is

formed to search for the best evidence to manage the issue and evaluate all factors such as cost, the strength of the evidence, and the impact of such evidence on the triggers.

This group will assemble relevant research and related literature, critique and synthesize the research for use in practice and if there is sufficient research base, it will proceed

and make changes as deemed necessary as the research progresses. Once the research is completed, results are evaluated and decision is made to make the changes as approved

at the organizational level.

Barriers to this implementation can be the lack of research evidence available on the effectiveness of measures to address the particular trigger; the transfer of evidence-

based research to a particular trigger might not produce expected results based on other factors independent from studies that produced the evidence in use. For example,

patients’ multiple chronic illnesses can affect their response to treatments, not all patients respond the same way to a particular treatment, regardless of the strength of the

evidence. Other barriers include the cost of implementation related to training staff. Effective EBP implementation at the practitioner and organizational levels within a health

care setting is essential to provide safe, effective and patient-centered care; nurses play a pivotal role to sustain the use of EBPs in clinical setting, and the contextual quality

of an organization that facilitate successful implementation should involve an organizational culture that is value-oriented and learning-oriented and receptive to change, and

a transformational leadership style determined by the leadership and practice of management (El-Mallakh at al., 2013, p. 42).

Professional Interview

(Professional Interview)

Professional Interview  For this assignment, you will interview a sport psychologist who currently works with an athlete or a sport organization.  This assignment gives you the opportunity to explore the practical side of practice within the sport psychology realm, as well as the opportunity to investigate the impact of the therapist’s diagnostic experience as it informs the practice of sport psychology.  While the sport psychologist whom you interview should be a licensed professional with a minimum of two years experience with this population, the individual may be from private practice, community clinic, hospital, or social service agency facility. While conducting the interview, focus on the following things:

•Obtain information regarding the sport psychologist’s theoretical approach to counseling, education history, postgraduate training, credentials, and previous employment history.

•Ask about the sport psychologist’s familiarity with diagnosis and in what ways the sports psychologist’s work has altered his or her beliefs about psychopathology and the change process.

•Ask the sport psychologist to describe both the most difficult and the most rewarding part of working with athletes and sport organizations.

•Provide the sport psychologist with an opportunity to offer any appropriate advice or suggestions to you.  Write a two-page reaction paper in Microsoft Word document format describing your interview. Be sure to specifically address the following questions:

•How did this interview affect your perception of sport psychology practice?

•What information regarding diagnosis in sport psychology was most surprising to you?

•What are some of the similarities or differences between your interviewee’s view of psychopathology and your own?

Create your two- to three-page reaction paper in Microsoft Word document format. Name your file SP6005_M3_A3_lastname_firstinitial.doc. By the due date assigned, submit the file in Submissions Area.
