Attribution Theory and Performance

(Attribution Theory And Performance)

Prior to beginning this assignment, be sure to read Chapter 4: Cognition, Learning, and the Environment, and read the article “Extending Attribution Theory: Considering Students’ Perceived Control of the Attribution Process”, the Instructor Guidance, and view the following website The Critical Thinking Community (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. (http://www.criticalthinking.org/).

For this written assignment, you will demonstrate your understanding of attribution theory. In essence, attribution theory states that individuals tend to make sense of (logically prescribe) situations by associating them to self, others, thoughts, feelings, or actions. This theory suggests that learners should consider why they do what they do, and what or who they are giving credit for both the victories and the failures. Further, this theory suggests that if a person believes that they are not good at something, they may attribute their unsuccessful outcomes to external factors, rather than to themselves. In contrast, if individuals have success, they more often may attribute their successes to internal factors.

Using your required resources to support, discuss the following:

  • Describe a time where you feel you have failed and blamed someone else: the teacher, the friend, a loved one. (Failure could be academic, relational, and/or organizational – loss of a job.)
  • Do you believe that you blamed external things to support a more stable version of your own self-image? (In other words, it could not be your mistake). If not, what other reasons might external variables be attributed for our own performance?
  • How do think stability and controllability affect performance attributions, based on our reading this week?
  • Why do you think that self-efficacy plays such a critical role in how we process our learning behaviors?
  • What strategies could be applied to utilize what we know about self-perception and attributions to increase your learning performance in the future? (Minimum of two strategies.)

Suggested template.

The Attribution Theory paper

  • Must be five to six double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

  • Must use appropriate research methods (e.g. use of the Ashford library) and skeptical inquiry (http://www.criticalthinking.org/) to support the content inclusions.
  • Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement. Visit the Ashford writing Center to clarify how to create a strong thesis statement and what it helps you to accomplish. You may also use the Thesis Generator (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.
  • Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought. For assistance with the critical thinking portion of the written assignment, please see the information included on the Critical Thinking Community website (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..
  • Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis. The conclusion typically has two parts: the summary statement (one or two sentences that restate the thesis in a fresh way to reinforce the essay’s main idea) and the clincher (a final thought that creates a lasting impression for the reader).

Discussion—The Literature Review Process

(The Literature Review Process)

As the community assessment is completed and the statement of the health problem is clearly stated and appropriately quantified using the available epidemiologic tools, one must now start looking at an adequate and suited intervention or policy to address the particular public health problem. The availability of scientific literature is an invaluable source of information to begin searching for the most ideal and best-suited intervention, program, or policy to specifically address the targeted objectives emanating from the community assessment.

Because of the considerable amount of scientific literature, a systematic approach to literature searching is imperative to locate credible, high-quality evidence as efficiently and exhaustively as possible. To be systematic, a guide must be applied to aid in what literature is important, where to search for related literature, how to find evidence-based literature, and how to organize the results of a search.

In your analysis and evaluation of the three related peer-reviewed scientific articles for Week 3 Project, please share with your peers any difficulties, strategies, or techniques that you developed, discovered, or utilized to simplify or enhance the literature review process.

The steps for reviewing the Scientific Literature and Organizing Information are listed below. Please note that you do not need to follow the same order.

  • Review the issue statement and purpose of the search
  • Select a bibliographic database
  • Identify key words
  • Conduct the search
  • Refine the search
  • Select and organize documents for review
  • Abstract pertinent information from each document
  • Summarize and apply the literature review

If you found that some sections of the literature review process were more difficult compared to some other steps, please talk about this difficulty in this discussion thread.

Provide reasons or evidence in support of your responses.

Write your initial response in approximately 300 words.

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the week, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Consider commenting on their difficulties and your thoughts for suggestions or resolutions.

Support your answers with examples and research. Your responses should clarify your understanding of the topic. They should be your own, original, and free from plagiarism. Follow the APA format for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources.

Evaluation Criteria:

  • Reviewed the issue statement and purpose of the search.
  • Selected a bibliographic database.
  • Identified key words.
  • Conducted the search.
  • Refined the search.
  • Selected and organized documents for review.
  • Abstracted pertinent information from each document.

Description of the Assignment: (Application of theory paper4)

Content

  1. Introduction to the paper includes a few general statements on the idea of nursing theory being applied to solve problems/issues in nursing practice, regardless of the specialty area of practice. For example, why would one pick a nursing theory to solve a practice problem? Would a grand, middle-range, or practice theory be best? Does the writer have any experience in using nursing theory this way? In addition, a brief one-paragraph summary of a specific nursing theory and information on the sections of the paper are provided. The selected nursing theory can be a grand theory, a middle-range theory, or a practice theory.
  2. Description of the problem/issue for which strategies will be developed. The problem to be resolved must be in nursing leadership, nursing education, nursing informatics, or health policy. Scholarly evidence (in the form of a literature review) supporting the issue is included. The problem/issue could be local to one’s specific practice setting. For example, the setting might be a nursing unit, a nursing-education program, an informatics department, or a health-policy unit of a consulting firm. The problem/issue needs to be something that a nursing theory can impact, whether it solves the actual problem/issue or enables people affected by the problem/issue to deal with it. It is best if the problem/issue is from real life – something the writer of the paper has dealt with or is currently engaged in.Some examples (these are fictitious examples)
    1. A nursing unit has experienced rapid turnover of professional staff, including several nurse managers. A new nurse manager from outside of the nursing unit is appointed.
    2. Informatics nurse specialists face a lot of resistance from all healthcare professionals to implementation of a computer-based order entry program. The implementation date will not be changed.
    3. A nurse educator is assigned to take over a large class of undergraduate nursing students, with a mix of young adults and adults returning for a second degree. The subject is difficult, students have not been doing well, and frustration and tempers are impeding group work.
    4. A health-policy nurse specialist works for a consulting firm that lobbies on behalf of many healthcare professions. Within the specialist’s work unit, there is much debate over the pros and cons of various policies being proposed for attention in the coming year.
  3. Applying concepts and principles from the selected theory, one strategy for resolving the identified issue is described in depth. Details on how the theory would be applied are included (consider: who, what, when, where, and how). Rationales for the strategy as well as evidence from scholarly literature are included. One ethical and/or legal aspect of the strategy is discussed. Expected outcome(s) from implementing the strategy are proposed.
  4. Concluding statements include new knowledge about applying nursing theory gained by writing the paper

Format and Special Instructions

  1. Paper length: 6 pages minimum; 8 pages maximum, excluding title page and reference page. Points will be deducted for not meeting these requirements.
  2. The textbook required for this course may not be used as a reference for this assignment.
  3. A minimum of 3 scholarly references are used. References must be current – no older than 5 years, unless a valid rationale is provided. Consult with the course instructor about using an older source.
  4. Title page, body of paper, and reference page(s) must be in APA format as presented in the 6th edition of the manual
  5. Ideas and information from readings and other sources must be cited and cited correctly.

Case Study: HIV

/in , , /by

Case Study: HIV

(Case Study: HIV)

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a global health challenge affecting millions worldwide. The virus primarily targets the immune system’s CD4 cells, weakening the body’s ability to fight infections and diseases. Transmission occurs through unprotected sexual contact, contaminated blood transfusions, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding.

Upon infection, individuals may experience flu-like symptoms, followed by a long asymptomatic period. Over time, HIV can progress to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) if untreated, leading to severe immune suppression and opportunistic infections.

The management of HIV involves antiretroviral therapy (ART) which suppresses viral replication, maintaining CD4 counts and preventing disease progression. Access to ART has transformed HIV from a fatal condition to a chronic, manageable disease in many parts of the world.

Despite progress, challenges persist, including stigma, access to treatment, and prevention efforts. Ongoing research aims to develop an effective vaccine and cure. Public health interventions promoting testing, education, and safe practices remain crucial in the global fight against HIV.

Case Study: HIV

Linda is a 28-year-old female in a discordant relationship with her boyfriend of 1 year. Linda is 12 weeks pregnant based on her last menstrual period. She is engaged in HIV-care and is naïve to antiretroviral therapy (ART) because her CD4 cell count is 538 per mm3 and viral load is 8,300. No tobacco, alcohol, or illegal or illicit drug use.

Physical examination: Normal, healthy 28-year-old gravid female. She is overweight with a body mass index of 28.2.

Laboratory and other tests: Genotype is pan-sensitive without HIV mutations. Ultrasound at her 2-day follow-up estimates she is 15 weeks pregnant.

Assignment Questions

  1. What are the Public Health Service Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents guidelines for HIV-positive pregnant females regarding starting ART? What antiretroviral medications are recommended as first line?  Which drugs should be avoided?  Provide a rationale for all answers.
  2. What education does Linda need regarding her medication?
  3. Are there any risks to the baby during labor?
  4. What should be done for the baby at birth if he/she tests positive for HIV? What will the providers need to do in terms of monitoring the baby?

Instructions 

  • Prepare and submit a 3-4 page paper [total] in length (not including APA format).
  • Answer all the questions above.
  • Support your position with examples.
  • Please review the rubric to ensure that your assignment meets criteria.
  • Submit the following documents to the Submit Assignments/Assessments area:

Corporate Law

(Corporate Law)

Question description

For this assignment, you will need to conduct legal research in the LEXIS/NEXIS database.

Jennifer Jones owns a business called Maid4U, which provides residential cleaning services. Two women, Grace and Hope, hand out fliers for Maid4U to prospective customers. They choose where and when to distribute the fliers, which have a coupon entitling the customer to a 50% discount for their first cleaning service. Each flier contains a code indicating whether it was received from Faith and Hope. The only compensation that Faith and Hope receive from Maid4U is a flat fee of $20 for each coupon that a new customer redeems for their first house cleaning service.

When a new customer calls Maid4U to arrange for cleaning services, Jennifer goes out to see their home and gives them a price quote for weekly cleaning services. If the price is acceptable, the client signs a contract for weekly cleaning services. Jennifer then contacts April, Mae, or June and schedules one of them to clean the house each week at the requested dates and times. Each week that the house is cleaned, Jennifer splits the fee collected with the cleaner (April, Mae, or June) 50-50. Each cleaner was trained by Jennifer and must clean the homes according to the instructions of the owner and Jennifer. Jennifer usually stops by the home at the end of each cleaning to inspect it and make sure that work is performed in a satisfactory manner. Each cleaner uses their own supplies and equipment, as well as their own personal vehicle or public transportation for traveling to and from the clients’ homes.

Jennifer has come to your law firm after receiving notice from the Internal Revenue Service that she is being audited for failing to withhold and pay Social Security taxes for Grace, Hope, April, Mae, and June. Your supervising partner has requested that you draft a memo that (1) explains the criteria that the IRS uses to determine whether or not someone is considered an employee for purposes of taxation, (2) analyzes whether Grace, Hope, April, Mae, and June meet the criteria for employee status, and (3) predicts the likely outcome of the audit.

Your memo should be 3-4 pages in length. Incorporate at least 5 different law review journal articles and/or primary legal sources (statutes, court opinions) within your work. Format citations and references per Harvard Blue Book rules.

Please make sure there are at least 5 law review articles, statutes, or court opinions cited in the work!!

PERSONAL FINANCE CASE #13(business & finance homework help)

Joe and Pat Ise, 56 and 55, are rethinking their retirement plans. Originally they had planned to retire this fall and move two hours west to Pennsylvania, where the cost of living is cheaper. Both presently commute over an hour a day to Bergen County and New York City, respectively, and their long commutes are taking their toll. They get up at 4:30 every workday to arrive at work on time. The couple has one adult child, age 27, who is married and living on his own.

The problem is that the value of the Ise’s retirement investment portfolio has been substantially reduced during the past two years. Three years ago, they had $520,000 saved and today their portfolio is worth $395,000, despite steady deposits over the last two years.

The Ises admit to making all the classic investment mistakes: investing too much in the technology sector and employer stock in Joe’s 401(k) plan, not carefully researching investments by reading annual reports and prospectuses, relying on “water cooler tips,” and selling in a panic when the stock market tumbled. “We should have stayed in bonds or CDs,” says Joe, “but we got greedy.”

Even with their recent losses, the Ises have an impressive $758,000 net worth. Their assets include $50,000 in CDs, $30,000 in a bank money market deposit account; $120,000 in eleven growth mutual funds; $117,000 in Pat’s 401(k); $105,000 in Joe’s 401(k); $53,000 in IRAs; two cars worth $28,000; a $300,000 house; and $50,000 of personal property. Their debts include $8,000 owed on five credit cards; a $72,000 mortgage balance; and a $15,000 home equity loan.

Neither spouse has any other retirement benefits (e.g., company pension). Joe’s company has just stopped matching 401(k) deposits due to a downturn in business and halted all health coverage for retirees. Pat’s company matches up to 3% of her pay in her 401(k) plan and charges retirees $500 per month for health coverage.

Together, the Ises earn $147,000. Joe is skilled in antique auto restoration and has been itching to start a small business after retirement. To date, he has simply been too busy. He currently has a client, however, who will pay him $15,000 this year to restore a car and is willing to wait for as long as it takes to finish.

The couple has adequate property insurance, a $1 million umbrella liability policy, $500,000 of term life insurance apiece, and disability insurance that provides each with a $3,000 monthly income benefit. They are currently considering the purchase of long-term care insurance.

The Ises also have a will that names their son as beneficiary and Joe’s brother as executor. Joe’s brother is very ill, however, with advanced stage prostate cancer so they are considering other options. No contingent executor or beneficiary is presently named.
