Discussion week 13

 

From BBC News on the San Bernardino, CA December 2015 killings: “President Obama says the U.S. ‘will not be terrorized’ by the deadly San Bernardino shootings, which the FBI is treating as an act of terrorism.”   Inspired by the aims and ideology of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) which has claimed the two killers as supporters, “Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife Tashfeen Malik, 29, killed 14 people before being shot dead by police” (bbc.com/news 12/5/15).

In Paris on November 13, 2015, 130 people were killed by coordinated terrorist attacks in three different locations at the same time.   The French President Francois Hollande subsequently declared “France is at war.  We are in a war against terrorism, jihadism, which threatens the whole world.  Terrorism will not destroy France because France will destroy it” (cnn.com 11/16/15).

And you also know about more recent terrorist killings this year such as the terrorist who used a truck to mow down innocent people, including children, in Nice, France, and more than 80 people were killed.

For our week discussion forum, please answer two of the following three questions but be sure you answer question three as one of the two you’re answering:

[1] In your view, are the terrorists winning?  If yes, then what does that mean and how do you know?  If no, then what does that mean and how do you know?

[2] In the face of today’s terrorism, does the warning of the 19th century German Philosopher apply to us?  How might it relate to just war principles?  Explain.  “Whoever fights monsters should be careful that he does not become a monster.  When you stare into an abyss, the abyss stares back into you” (Beyond Good and Evil, #146).

[3] On her 16th birthday, the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Malala Yousafzi addressed the U.N. as a devout Muslim who had been shot in the head by the Taliban in Pakistan in 2012.  Listen to her speech and then share your response to her views on terrorists and how she has chosen to respond.  Is Malala a pacifist?  Is she arguing against just war theory?

Assessing Clients With Addictive Disorders

Episode 1

Mr. Levy considers his problem to be sickness and does not have any problem with the children seeing him the way he is. This makes him sleeps anywhere and does not seem to have any respect for her wife. In one instance, he even superposes that the wife had claimed to be with him for better or for worse. This is an indication that he has given up in life and does not seem to have any intention of changing since he tells his wife to leave home alone.

On the other hand, Mrs. Levy has the urge is supporting her husband and has the opinion that the husband drinks too much and does not have respect or courtesy in doing many things. The parents are arguing and the wife indicates that the husband drinks too much as that he needs to change. Engel et al. (2016) opine that one of the implications of the issue of depression of the arguing and the cases where the families are breaking. This is the issue that is seen in the family of Mr. Levy since the wife has indicated that the issue will end up breaking them if the husband does not change his ways. 

Episode 2

Mr. Levy’s social worker is seen to be reliable and has a succinct urge to meet the client. The ideas that he has is that he should meet the client and establish the needs of the client and what the client needs. As pointed out by Mays (2015) healthcare providers are supposed to consider making use of patient-centered treatment methods for the satisfaction of patients. The idea that he will get to learn of many ways that could be useful for the management of the issue of patient care is as well important. 

The thoughts that the supervisor has is that there will be a need for the healthcare providers to help in the process of enhancement of patient care strategies of managing the issue of the patient is to help in satisfying herself. The supervisor should consider getting the information on the patient first for each in the diagnosis if the patient has post-traumatic stress disorder caused by the trip that he made to Iraq. In my view, there is a need for further research to be carried out on the strategies before the application is made. 

Episode 3

The response that is given by her post are professional allows the client to relax and have an easy time explaining his situation. Typically, I have the opinion that the therapist has done the best in the provision of a listening effort to the client. As such, the process of listening is important as it allows the patient to have a chance of improving their effort of good health. The therapist who should get to help the patient is supposed to ensure that they listen more and talk less and allow the patient to express what they are feeling. 

My impression on the way that the therapist has worked with the client is good and I have the view that the therapist has been able to gain the trust of the patient and hence the patients are free to share his ordeal. The therapy session as a whole has succeeded in getting the background information of the patient since Mr. Levy has been in a position to describe the occurrence that he had in Iraq and he has been thought of how to manage his thought by having deep breaths. 

The process of deep breathing allows for the client to be able to get relaxed and hence their issue of anxiety is managed with the adrenaline that creates anxiety being reduced in the release (Steenkamp et al., 2015). The therapeutic approach that has been selected by the therapist is called exposure therapy. According to Najavits (2015), this is an important therapy that allows one to take control of their feelings in relation to a certain traumatic condition. This is an important therapy for use for the case of the client since he is challenged by the thoughts that he has from his trip to Iraq. 

Episode 4

The best way to approach the issue is to allow the patient to present his issues of concern and offer a listening ear for them to talk too. In turn, the patient is supposed to get therapy on the actions that he was intending to take and the blame that he has on himself. He is supposed to be educated on the importance of the fact that he tried his best and that he had the best inters of Kurt in mind. This information could play a critical role in informing for the therapeutic approach in that it will allow for the management of the issues of concern that one may only have challenges on the things that the things about but the issue is as well a feeling that he did not do his best in offering his services to the sergeant. 

Episode 5

The response to the concern could be that in the next conversation, it could be preferable if there is a consideration of the talks that are made on the family part. It will be important that there is a critical method of concern and get an understanding of the reasons behavior the early PSTD that the patient has. This will allow for getting information on the issue of the child being on the way and the fact that the patient may be scared of the coming child.

Discussion 6051 M5 W-9

 

Discussion: The Inclusion of Nurses in the Systems Development Life Cycle

In the media introduction to this module, it was suggested that you as a nurse have an important role in the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC). With a focus on patient care and outcomes, nurses may not always see themselves as contributors to the development of new systems. However, as you may have observed in your own experience, exclusion of nurse contributions when implementing systems can have dire consequences.

In this Discussion, you will consider the role you might play in systems development and the ramifications of not being an active participant in systems development.

To Prepare:

  • Review the steps of the Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) as presented in the Resources.
  • Reflect on your own healthcare organization and consider any steps your healthcare organization goes through when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system.
  • Consider what a nurse might contribute to decisions made at each stage of the SDLC when planning for new health information technology.

By Day 3 of Week 9

Post a description of what you believe to be the consequences of a healthcare organization not involving nurses in each stage of the SDLC when purchasing and implementing a new health information technology system. Provide specific examples of potential issues at each stage of the SDLC and explain how the inclusion of nurses may help address these issues. Then, explain whether you had any input in the selection and planning of new health information technology systems in your nursing practice or healthcare organization and explain potential impacts of being included or not in the decision-making process. Be specific and provide examples.

Week 8 Assignment: Essay – Interrelationships Reflection

Instructions
As we learned in Week 1, there is a difference between being educated and simply trained. The purpose of education is not only to determine what someone can do, but also what kind of person they become as a result of their education. Studies in the humanities will advance the communication skills, empathy, self-awareness, judgment, and professionalism of students, and they help students with becoming skilled at the social and cultural context of working with people.

In addition, studying the humanities can help students in the following ways:

  • Literature can introduce students to life situations with which they may not be familiar.
  • Drama can teach oral communication.
  • Philosophy can teach skills of analysis and argument.
  • Art, literature, drama. and music are expressions of human creativity, and taking part in some form of artistic activity, either as reader or viewer, is part of what makes us human.

For this assignment, choose a work of art that made an impression on you during this course. Then, address the following:

  • Include an image of or link to the work.
  • Identify the artist, the title, date completed, and the medium.
  • Explain how learning about the work will help you in your life and career. Consider the context in which the work was created and the meaning of the work.
  • Explain how one or more specific disciplines (literature, drama, philosophy, art, music) influenced you.
  • Examine the effect that you think this class could have on your career and personal life.

Writing Requirements (APA format)

  • Length: 2-2.5 pages (not including title page or references page)
  • 1-inch margins

Literature Review in Action

In this assignment, you will create a presentation that reflects on your proposed problem of interest and explains the purpose of a literature review as it relates to this problem.

Step 1: Reflect on your proposed problem of interest.

Critically think about your research question or problem of interest.

Step 2: Consider the following questions:

  • What is the purpose of conducting a literature review?
  • What are the steps a nurse researcher would take to conduct a literature review?
  • What would be the primary and secondary questions regarding the research question or problem of interest?
  • Consider the importance of including sources with a variety of results when identifying sources pertaining to your proposed problem of interest.

Step 3: Consider who your audience might be if you were to deliver your presentation in person.

  • What would you want them to know about this topic?
  • What would you expect them to already know?

Step 4: Create a seven- to ten-slide presentation that summarizes the purpose of a literature review.

Explain the steps in conducting a literature review. In your presentation, describe how you would approach conducting a literature review pertaining to your problem of interest. Identify one primary question and one secondary question regarding the problem of interest.

Step 5: Review your presentation.

Ensure that you are using best practices for formatting slides.

  • Include a title screen and summary screen.
  • Avoid making slides too text heavy or dense with text. As a guideline, limit text on each slide to five bullet points of six words each.
  • If using graphics, be sure that they are professional, reinforce your points, and are not used merely for decoration.
  • Be sure to add what you would say if delivering the presentation to a live audience in the notes section of each slide.

Cite any sources in APA format.
