Strategies for Health promotion

Why is the concept of family health important? Consider the various strategies for health promotion. How does a nurse determine which strategy would best enable the targeted individuals to gain more control over, and improve, their health?

About 200 words are required in this discussion. There should be at least 3 references with in-text citations following APA 2007 style.

Mood Disorders and Suicide

Mood Disorders and Suicide. Psychologists as Gatekeepers for Physician-Assisted Suicide? Suicide in the deliberate taking of one’s life, and most of us tend to think of suicide as the least functional outcome of a human life. Mental health professionals go to great lengths to prevent suicide and to alleviate the suffering that contributes to it.

Physician-assisted suicide, by contrast, is a case where medical professionals appear to be facilitating suicide in terminally ill individuals, not acting to preventing it.

Though psychologists have not assumed an active role in assisting suicide directly, there is great debate about the role(s) psychologists ought to take in such cases.

It could be argued that psychologists, by virtue of their unique training and assessment skills, are best positioned to serve as gatekeepers for physician-assisted suicide. Given trends for prescription authority for psychologists, one may even wonder whether psychologists may someday function as some physicians do now in assisting terminally ill patients to take their own lives.

This topic spans a range of ethical, moral, and legal issues that lend themselves to a debate format, or in-class discussion about suicide and the role of psychologists in the prevention and alleviation of suffering.

Boundary-focused approach

What is the difference between a boundary-focused approach and a relationally-oriented approach (as per Combs & Freedman) in therapy? 2. Under what conditions would you do the following (by answering these questions, you are starting to self-assess and design “policies” for your practice–some of which you might include in your contract with your client):

  • Accept gifts from clients?
  • Barter?
  • Buy your client’s services or products?
  • Become business partners?

2. Why should a therapist be cautious when self-disclosing?

A written Implementation plan

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan. For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected.

The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles.

A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

The Grapes of Wrath

 

John Steinbeck wrote The Grapes of Wrath based on primary sources from the Dust Bowl migration. He borrowed field notes written by Farm Security Administration worker and author Sanora Babb. Babb collected personal stories about the lives of displaced migrants in preparation for her own novel, Whose Names Are Unknown.

Her supervisor, Tom Collins, who served as the director of Arvin Camp in California, shared her reports with Steinbeck. Steinbeck also used Collin’s records from Arvin Camp, photographs taken by Dorthea Lange, and conducted his own field research.

In your own words, answer the questions below based on the reading: The Great Depression

Remember to use complete, grammatically correct sentences (no bullet points). 3-4 sentences for each numbered item (9-12 sentences total). Remember to be specific and use examples from the text. Direct quotes will not count toward overall sentence totals.

 

Steinbeck then wrote a series of seven articles for the San Francisco News, which ran from October 5-12, 1936. These articles served as the basis for the novel, The Grapes of Wrath. In a long letter to editor Pascal Covici for the Viking Press, Steinbeck wrote: “Throughout I’ve tried to make the reader participate in the actuality, what he takes from it will be scaled on his own depth and shallowness.

There are five layers in this book, a reader will find as many as he can and he won’t find more than he has in himself.” He is later quoted to have stated, “I tried to write this book the way lives are being lived not the way books are written.”

1. What perspective does this excerpt provide regarding socioeconomic class standing in U.S. society during the Great Depression?

2. How can we as historians use fictional novels like The Grapes of Wrath to better understand historical causality, events, and the legacy of the Dust Bowl Crisis and the Great Depression?

3. This novel received both acclaim and negative attention when it was released. For example, Oklahoma Congressman Lyle Borden participated in ad hominem attacks on Steinbeck, stating, “‘this book exposes nothing but the total depravity, vulgarity, and degraded mentality of the author.’”

Throughout history, the book has become more celebrated in American literature, with return to critical attention throughout history.

○ Based on the lectures and this reading excerpt why do you think reception to the novel has changed over time? What does this suggest about the preservation of the history of the Great Depression, or about U.S. history in general?

Employee Assistant Program

You are seeing Joey, a 25-year-old man, who was referred through his employer’s Employee Assistant Program. The man claims symptoms of depression and anxiety. He states that if his boss finds out he has depression they will move him to a less favorable position and he is afraid it will make him further depressed. You have ruled out current suicidal ideation but Joey has a history of suicidal thoughts.

You are limited to 6 sessions to help him. The next day after his session, his boss-Frank calls and leaves you a message stating that Joey mentioned he was seeing you for therapy and gave Frank permission to contact you.

What is the Ethical Dilemma, and how would you respond as a therapist?

Differences between firms in Realizing IT value

Several of the readings highlight the differences between firms in realizing IT value. What do you think are the biggest factors in creating these differences?

2.This week’s readings highlight various perspectives of an ongoing debate about the role of IT in providing value. Even though some of these articles were written over a decade ago, they are still remarkably relevant to today’s business environment.  I believe you could take the dates off of the articles and it would be difficult to tell they were not written recently.  Do you agree or disagree? Why or why not? Why do you think there is such a discussion about IT value?

Substantial Wealth gap between whites and nonwhites.

The film shows how government policies have created unfair advantages for whites in the past, resulting in a substantial wealth gap between whites and nonwhites. What examples of disparity exist in your community today? Will the wealth gap go away if we ignore race?

  1. In the early part of this century, Asian immigrants were not eligible for citizenship, no matter how long they lived in the U.S. What is the legacy of those laws in terms of how Asian Americans are viewed today? What role does race play in current U.S. policy on immigration and granting of citizenship? How is our idea of citizenship still tied to race?
  2. Commenting on the idea that the U.S. is a melting pot, sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva says, “That melting pot never included people of color. Blacks, Chinese, Puerto Ricans, etc. could not melt into the pot.” Think about the phrase “melting pot”—what does it imply? If this does not appropriately describe the U.S., what phrase would aptly describe the relationship between its various peoples?
  3. Central to the concept of the American Dream is the notion that anyone who works hard enough will be rewarded—that anyone can “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.”
  4. How has this been made more difficult for people not defined as white? What is the long-term impact of that denial? What difference does access to financial resources make in terms of your life opportunities?
  5. Cartoonist Bill Griffith comments on the all-white suburb where he grew up: “It certainly doesn’t promote a feeling of a wider world to live in a place where there are only people who look like you.”
  6. Do you agree? What does your neighborhood, workplace or school look like? Should geographical integration be a goal of public policy? Why or why not?
  7. Psychologist Beverly Daniel Tatum summarizes the impact of institutionalized racial policies like FHA loan practices:
  8. “To the child of that parent, it looks like, ‘My father worked hard, bought a house, passed his wealth on to me, made it possible for me to go to school….How come your father didn’t do that?’” How would you answer the child of that privileged parent? How would you explain the situation to the child of the parent who was disadvantaged by government policies?
  9. Supreme Court Justice Henry Blackmun said, “To get beyond racism we must first take account of race.
  10. There is no other way.” Do you agree? Contrast Blackmun’s statement with people who strive to be “colorblind” and judge people by the “content of their character rather than the color of their skin.” Who benefits if we adopt a colorblind approach to society? How is colorblindness different from equality?
  11. Given that race isn’t biological, should we get rid of racial categories? Why might racial classifications still be useful? If we stop tracking racial information, how will we tell if disparities still exist?
  12. How would you respond to Beverly Daniel Tatum’s closing questions in the film:
    • What can I influence?
    • How am I making this a more equitable environment?
    • Who is included in this picture and who isn’t; who has had opportunities in my environment and who hasn’t?
    • What can I do about that?

Legal Research Writing

Legal Research Writing. Unlike in most states in the United States, the Supreme Court is a trial court and not the highest court in New York. Most states consider the Supreme Court as the highest court,

except New York State.

Legal Authorities

Basso and Navedo are both secondary sources. Both cases explain, discuss, and

analyze the law. They analyze the concepts of Common Law to establish consistent outcomes.

Common law is a law that is based on previous judicial decisions.

Facts

In Basso v. Miller, the plaintiff sued the defendant after being injured in a motorcycle

accident on the defendant’s property. In Navedo v. 250 Willis Avenue Supermarket, the

plaintiff sued the defendant for damages as a result of a slip and fall accident.

Procedural History

In Basso v. Miller, the order of the court was modified and the case was remitted to

Supreme Court, Kings County for a new trial. In Navedo v. 250 Willis Avenue Supermarket,

the appeals court reinstated the complaint and denied the defendant’s motion for summary

judgment.

Issues

Basso v. Miller

Did the defendant have a duty to keep its premises in a reasonably safe condition?

Navedo v. 250 Willis Avenue Supermarket

Should the defendant be liable for the slip and fall accident?

 

 

3

Rules of Law

In Basso v. Miller, the court is using the standard of the reasonable person to

determine whether the defendant’s actions constitute negligence. In Navedo v. 250 Willis

Avenue Supermarket, the court is using the law of negligence to determine if the defendant is

legally responsible for the harm suffered.

Analysis

In Basso v. Miller, the plaintiff did not have sufficient evidence to prove the purpose

of his existence on the defendant’s property. In Navedo v. 250 Willis Avenue Supermarket,

there was no admissible evidence that the defendant had constructive or actual knowledge of

the puddle.

Conclusion

In Basso v. Miller, the court of appeals reversed and remanded the case for a new trial,

claiming that “in place of the common law rules of classification of plaintiffs in regard to

landowner liability, the court should apply a single standard of reasonable care under the

circumstances whereby foreseeability would be the measure of liability.” In Navedo v. 250

Willis Avenue Supermarket, the appeals court reversed the court order and denied the

defendant’s motion for summary judgment.
