Talking to a client who has frontal lobe damage and impaired cognitive flexibility

/in /by

Marking rubric: Provides 2 excellent practical strategies for cognitive inflexibility that could be employed in everyday life, without the need for advanced technology and could be used in a range of everyday settings. Is clear and concise in nature.

 

Question 3b: Imagine you are talking to a client who has frontal lobe damage and impaired cognitive flexibility. Describe two strategies you might employ to facilitate communication with them.

 

Background: Addiction can damage the brain in different ways, including neurotoxicity, traumatic brain injury, and stroke. One part of the brain particularly vulnerable to damage is the frontal lobe, which is involved in executive functions (EFs). There are three ‘core’ executive functions; inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility (also referred to as set shifting and/or switching) and these are vital for everyday behaviours such as reasoning, problem solving, and planning. EFs impact upon all aspects of human life, including communication. Executive functions that support social communication are often impaired in individuals with damage to the frontal lobes. Much of our knowledge about the role of the frontal lobe is based on research in those with frontal lobe damage, such as those with aphasia related to a stroke.

Reflect on the process of learning through the peer-mediated role play

/in /by

A mediated role play (group project) has been done to understand a case of a child with autism and how we can help him to achieve his developmental goals. Several strategies have been provided by each member of the group.

Reflect on the process of learning through the peer-mediated role play (advantages and disadvantages) and how the discussion of the case study helped inform your understanding of autism and appropriate teaching strategies.

The association between diabetes and atrial fibrillation

Diabetes is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation. In one longitudinal study researchers investigated the association between diabetes and atrial fibrillation, stratified by sex. These data are given in the table below.”

  2. “After using the statistical software, the authors found that the sex-adjusted relative risk (rate-ratio in this case) they found adjusted RR of 1.51. Is sex best characterised as a confounder or an effect modifier of the relationship between diabetes and atrial fibrillation? Explain.”

  4. “What is the population attributable fraction of diabetes on the occurrence of atrial fibrillation that is potentially preventable, assuming a causal association between diabetes and Atrial Fibrilation.”   explain in words your findings 

 

Personal care and medication for epilepsy

Bill is 20 years old and currently lives with his parents on their family farm in a rural community in Saskatchewan near the city of Saskatoon. Bill and his parents want to start planning for Bill to move out of the family home and to a new living situation.

How would declaring health care a privilege affect the economics

Is Health Care a right and not a privilege?

What is the difference between a right and a privilege?

How would declaring health care a privilege affect the economics of health care reform in the U.S? If it is determined that health care costs would be reduced, explain what other areas of society would be affected by denial of care to those unable to pay for basic health care and who would then become unable to work and support themselves. What would be the cost of maintaining those areas outside the health care system? Such examples might include the costs of maintaining the criminal and juvenile justice systems, costs from an increased level of social security disability payments, housing for those unable to work because of chronic, debilitating diseases and illnesses, costs of treating the spread of infectious diseases to the general public, and other social costs that would most likely be borne by society as a whole.

How would declaring health care a right affect the economics of health care reform? Would the overall cost of health care delivered in the U.S. increase, decline, or stay the same? Provide support for your conclusions.

The patient was against surgical intervention and opted to try manual distortion

/in /by

The patient is a 22-year-male with left testicular pain and scrotal swelling over the past three hours. No dysuria, no penile discharge, no fever and is able to void well. No trauma to the groin. Pain 5/10. The physician orders an ultrasound. It demonstrates a testicle that is free-floating in the scrotum with the spermatic cord looped once around the middle of the testicle. The physician diagnosed testicular torsion. The patient was against surgical intervention and opted to try manual distortion. The patient was warmed with hot packs to loosen the scrotal skin, and the physician manipulated the testicle until the spermatic cord felt loosened. Re-ultrasound confirmed the proper position, and the patient’s pain was substantially relieved. The patient was sent home with a list of precautions and instructions to return with any increase in pain.
