I need a comment 250 words The age selected for this analysis of child abuse are toddlers, children aged between 0 and three years. They face the highest cases of child abuse mainly due to many of their caregivers not knowing how to talk care of them (Cook et al., 2017). At this age, the most common type of abuse they face is neglect as the parents don’t provide the proper food and nutritional affection they require. Moreover, the neglect extends to medical and other necessities that are vital for their proper development. Some of the most common signs that nurses should not are the child’s constant unrest, nutritional deficiency and parent’s lack of interest on the child’s overall health (Cook et al., 2017). A common condition that is seen in toddlers is the shaken baby syndrome a form of abusive head trauma caused by forceful shaking of the infant or toddler. With the recent rise in immigrants from Asia a common Southeast Asia, a cultural practice that has been misinterpreted by the medical community is “Cao gio” (Tanner, Catanese, Lew, & Rapkiewicz, 2016). It is a dermabrasion therapy technique that is used for various conditions such as relief of pain and nausea. In the majority of the states within the U.S. inclusive of this state, the reporting mechanisms involve the first the separation of the child from the caregiver (Tanner, Catanese, Lew, & Rapkiewicz, 2016). This is simultaneously followed with the notifications of the authorities that include the police as well as Child Protective Services. The process has to be swift to ensure maximum attention is given to the child, moreover, by contacting the police the abusers will be apprehended. Finally, the Child Protective Services will provide necessary protection to the child as well as a new home. This procedure has been proven effective in many occasions and is yet to be challenged.

Hello Dr Kyzar and Class · Does the research design answer the research question? Explain your rationale. Lloyd et al., 2018 focused at establishig whether the school-based interventions for children of ages 9-10 years would help in preventive excessive weight gain after 24 months. The researchers used pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial of the Healthier Lifestyle Programme (HeLP) which is a school-based obesity prevention intervention that was performed in 32 schools found in the southwest England. This method is revealing school as the ideal location for the childhood obesity preventiuon programs due to the near-universal reach f children in the socioeconomic spectrum. It also shows the importance of the change in the diet and physical activity behaviors and their impacts on the weight status (Lloyd, et al., 2018). Were the study sample participants representative? Why or why not? The sample calculation assumed a mean of 35 children age 9-10 years in every school and this implies that a total of 1,120 samples were used. This is a good number that can represents the problems at the 32 schools that were being targeted by the researchers. Compare and contrast the study limitations in this study. The findings of the study shows that the effectiveness of the school-based obesity prevention programmed is inconclusive and contradictory. The interventions used are highly heterogenous in the design and most of the studies used for the research have some methodological weaknesses for example the inadequate statistical power, greater levels of attrition, differential uptake, follow-up, and the short-lived follow-up. · Based on this evidence summary, would you consider this systematic review as support for your selected practice problem? Explain your rationale. Two themes were considered to be important i.e. energy in and decision making and the responsibility. It is clear that school hosts many children and can therefore be used as ideal place to deliver the population-based interventions. Even though it might not adequately intensed to affect both school and the family environment hence wieght of the children, it needs to be promoted since it helps in changing the health behaviors of the children. This is important in addressing the issue of childhood obesity sinnce it helps in promoting healthy behaviors among children (Lloyd , et al., 2018). References Lloyd, J., CStat, C.

3 Assignment Three: Purpose of the study and Research Questions RES 9300 Recently, Autism has become a serious health concern to parents. According to Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2018), about one in fifty nine United States children has been identified with autism spectrum disorder with one in six children developing developmental disability ranging from mild disabilities such as speech and language impairments to serious developmental disabilities, such as intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, and autism (CDC,2018). World Health Organization (2019) estimates that 1 in 160 children globally has autism making it one of the most prevalent diseases. Despite the disease prevalence, most population has little knowledge about the disease. Many health practitioners have proposed early care as a means to control the disease effects. Purpose Statement The purpose of this study is to determine whether early intervention services can help improve the development of children suffering from autism. This study also aims to explore the general public awareness and perception about autism disorder. Research Questions (1) How should service delivery for autistic patients be improved to promote their health? (2) What impact does early intervention services have on development of children suffering from autism? (3) How can public knowledge on autism improve support and care for autistic patients? (4) What effect will early intervention have on patient’s social skills? References Center for Disease Control and Prevention. (2018). Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Data & Statistics.

According to David Sack (2013), more than 28 million American children have one parent who is addicted to alcohol but this addiction is not being discussed at home (Sack, 2013) and of those 11 million are under the age of 18 (Rodriquez, 2004). These children are at a higher risk of developing complex behavioral, academic, and emotional difficulties than other children. Children of addicts are four times more likely to marry an addict and are at risk of becoming a victim of abuse, neglect, or violence. Children of addicted parents are fiercely loyal to the parent. Adolescents are hesitant to open up and are vulnerable. They are reluctant to reveal parental confidences, even if they urgently need the help (Sack, 2013). Statistics of Children from Parental Substance Abuse Backgrounds It is important to analyze the severity of the problem before analyzing the effectiveness of counseling as a corrective measure. It is estimated that nearly 8.3 million children under the age of 18 live with at least one substance abusing/ dependent parent. Also, approximately more than half of child maltreatment cases in the United States were because of parental substance abuse in one way or another. Kirisci et al. (2002) stated that recent research has found that children of substance-addicted parents are more likely to suffer neglect or abuse than those children who do not have an addicted parent. Additionally, comparable to inattentive mothers and fathers, numerous substance-addicted parents were also mistreated and/or neglected as children (Dunn et al., 2001; Connors et al., 2004; Cash & Wilke, 2003), and describe other disturbing incidents as adults and children (Cohen et al., 2008). Wulczyn, Ernst & Fisher (2011) hypothesize that nearly 61% of infants and 41% of older children in the welfare system stem from families with active parental alcohol abuse issues. Children who enter the system as infants are more likely to spend a longer duration in care. Infants, especially those aged three months or younger, are more apt to be adopted and spend less or no time in group home placement. All children who enter out-of-home care are vulnerable to delays in social, emotional and cognitive development, which increases the risk of school failure, drug and alcohol abuse and criminality. The toxic stress levels that some infants endure links with developmental delays and poor outcomes for children who are the victims of abuse and neglect. Up to 80% of parents who are involved in the child welfare system are substance abusers, and many have had prior involvement with the system, either as chil ...

Running Head: CANCER TREATMENT IN CHILDREN 1 CANCER TREATMENT IN CHILDREN 11 How to Treat Cancer in Children Name Institution Introduction. Cancer is an epidemic that is wiping out the world’s population at a very high rate; it is worrying to the society because cancer is now a problem that faces children most of the time. This is unlike in the previous years when cancer was associated with old age and older people. The number of children with these horrible disease has acutely risen (Situ, 2015).As (Evan,44) puts it cancer is a dangerous disease because of the fact that treatment of cancer only takes place when the patient takes precaution before getting worse. Doctors say that early detection of cancer helps the victims in dealing with the situation better unlike if it is detected at a later stage. According to Evan (44) Cancer is a dangerous disease owing to the fact that its treatment only occurs when the affected takes precaution before the situations worsens. It is for these same reasons that physician’s advice that one should conduct frequent health checkups to take care of any possibility of developing cancer. Children who are affected especially those below the age of fifteen are usually subjected to clinical trials. To illustrate further, the treatment takes place in phases, older and newer methods of treatment are compared to see which one gives better results. Through this analysis, great care needs to be observed to elude giving wrong treatment to the children. In addition due to the delicate nature of treating children it is advised that treatment should take place in a cancer center where the children will be monitored and taken care of well. To add on at the cancer center guardian and parents will be taught on how to best handle their children. Cancer treatment process has clinical and scientific methodologies. There ...

Other children experience similar deficits as a result of neglect and abuse by carers. Often these children are diagnosed with psychopathology and receive drug treatments that can be ineffective and even detrimental. Karyn B Purvis, David R Cross, Ron Federici, Dana Johnson and L Brooks McKenzie report on The Hope Connection, a project designed to meet the needs of these at-risk children and their families. The core of this project is a theoretically integrated summer day camp offering activities that are attachment rich, sensory stimulating and behaviourally structured. Pre-test and post-test data indicate that summer camp had a significant impact on the children’s behaviour (n = 19), as indicated by parent- report measures of child behaviour problems and attachment. These findings are discussed with regard to possible future directions of programme implementation and evaluation. Introduction The purpose of this article is to explore a camp structure that was developed to address the enduring effects of early deprivation upon the development of adopted and other at-risk children. Originally, internationally adopted children with histories of severe deprivation and commensurate behavioural diff icul- ties were the target population for this intervention. However, a small number of domestically adopted children were included due to the urgent needs of these families and the background similarities of deprivation (Purvis, Cross and Sunshine, 2007). Although most adopted children do not present serious problems in these areas, many children from deprived backgrounds do, and there is an undeter- mined number of families who need support addressing them. As noted in two recent meta-analyses by Juffer and van IJzendoorn (2005) and Meese (2005), there is a scarcity of research on interventions in these areas. Specifically, three areas of psychological development are likely to be affected when inadequate care is provided: attachment, pro-social behaviour and sensory processing. By integrating these three as.

The main purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of regular home visits on the developmental indices of low birth weight infants. The present study was an on-site clinical investigation. 90 infants ranging between 1500 to 2500g born in Razi Hospital of Marand town having the entrance criteria to the present study were taken into consideration through the available sampling method and then they were divided into two intervention and control groups. The intervention group has received the whole routine cares since the first to fourth week and then they were visited at home for 45 minutes a week. The control group received the routine cares. The evolutionary indices of both groups were also completed monthly for three months by referring homes. The related data gathering tool was also subjected to the demographic information through registration list and the Persian version of the Low Weight Infant Inventory (LWII) (2 months) that have been completed by the researcher on the birthday, first, second and third months of the birth through the interview. SPSS-15 software and the application of the inferential and descriptive statistical tests (K2 and T-tests) were also applied in order to analyze the related data in this study. The significance level was considered as p<0.05. More than half of these related research units of both groups had experience (61.5%) and control (55.8%) regarding all women in this study; the mean score of the low weight infants on the first month had not shown any statistical significant difference; but on the second months (p=0.04) and the third months (p=0.001), they had shown statistical significant difference progressively. The healthcare based on home-visit had influence on the recovery indices of the low weight infants. Hence, nurses and other health monitors of the infants should apply for the healthcare programs based on home-visit particularly in caring infants.

Testing/diagnosis Tests that are used to diagnose autism are done in various fields such as psychology, psychiatry, pediatrics, and neurology. Diagnosis is established after observing the child’s behavior and testing the child’s abilities in these fields. Any child should be examined for developmental abilities from birth to the age of three. If a child is detected with some developmental delays or disabilities, the pediatrician should refer the child to a specialist in early Intervention. Some of the behaviors that need to be noticed are: · Absence of babbling and making gestures by the age of 12 months · Absence of any word utterances by the age of 16 months · Absence of two-word unprompted phrases by the age of 24 months · Loss of social and language skills at any age In order to determine whether a child has a disorder in the autism spectrum a psychiatrist will likely look at a variety of factors. These might include such things as: · Evaluation of the medical history of the child’s mother during her pregnancy · Assessment of the developmental milestones · Complete physical examination · Habits of eating and sleeping · Functioning of the stomach and bowels · Coordination disabilities · Sensory impairments · Allergies · Any medical diseases · History of developmental disorders in the family · History of genetic and metabolic disorders in the family · Exposure of the child or parents to toxins Some tests may be done to confirm that the symptoms of the child are not due to other conditions which may seem like autism spectrum disorder, such as genetic or metabolic diseases, mental retardation, and deafness. These tests are: Chromosomal Analysis This is performed to test for mental retardation. If there is mental retardation in the child's family, this test may be conducted. For instance, fragile X syndrome that leads to symptoms of low levels of intelligent may be diagnosed with chromosomal analysis. Electroencephalograph (EEG)  If there are symptoms of seizures and developmental regression, then an EEG is conducted. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) An MRI is done to detect any structural differences in the brain.

The exposure to the aforementioned types of media has been associated with the increasing cases of eating disorders as reported by some researchers (Latzer, Spivak-Lavi, & Katz, 2015, p. 375). Studies have shown that children and young adolescents spent about 5 hours a day watching the television and about 7 hours using the various types of media combined (Morris & Katzman, 2003, p. 287).

SW 619 Infancy and Early Childhood Development of Drug Addicted Children While in the womb fetus is in the it feeds off the food intake and nourishment through the placenta, which also means that any substances such as drugs, alcohol or tobacco that enters the mothers system flows through the placenta and is delivered to the fetus as well. From birth to three years old is the most critical period in a child’s development process. Children of mothers that use drugs while they are pregnant increase the likelihood that the child will suffer from some form of birth defect and oftentimes born prematurely. The lasting effects of prenatal cocaine affect the growth of the fetus physically. The results of the increase of premature birth, and generalized growth retardation including decreased birth weight, shorter body length, and smaller head circumference (Bigsby et al, 2011; Covington et al, 2002; Gouin et al, 2011; Mayes et al, 2003). These toxic chemicals can sometimes have irreversible damage that affect the child’s normal development process with regards to proper development of organs and brain function. From the ages of 0-2 months old a child are expected to have develop motor skills that would include the ability to recognize different colors and shapes, kicking waving, have the ability to recognize familiar voices and their sleeping patterns would change, meaning that as they grow older children should be sleeping a little longer than a new born baby. Children from the ages of 2 months old should be able to extend their arm and reach and pick up toys and other objects, hand coordination by shifting objects from one hand to another. The child should be able to pick up finger food and bring it to their mouths. Identifying a problem with a child is when they are not able to perform these age appropriate task. A toddler ages 3 to 5 years old should be able to perform task such as holding crayons drawing horizontal lines, circles and have the ability to fold and snip paper with scissors. Children that have been exposed to substance may struggle with completing these tasks or will develop these cognitive skills at a slower rate. One study using play behavior (Rodning, Beckwith, & Howard, 1989a) found that preterm toddlers exposed to cocaine and other drugs to show poorly developed play behaviors, and a lack of interest and motivation in unstructured situations, in comparison to a group of high risk preterm children. Using play behavior, one study found preterm toddlers exposed to cocaine and other drugs to show poorly. However, by 3 years of age, there were no changes associated with fine motor performance or behavior observed with the child externalizing behavioral problems at age 5 years old. Stress and psychological symptoms of caregivers were found to be in direct correlation with increased child behavioral issues; indicating that the effected children may have m.

Running head: PICOT STATEMENT 1 PICOT STATEMENT 3 PICOT Statement: Childhood Obesity Introduction Childhood obesity is one of the emerging health problems that affect the American population. This disorder places children at a higher risk of suffering from preventable non-communicable chronic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and asthma (McGrath, 2017). Other challenges that affect children as a result of this disease include depression and sleep apnea. Obese children are often predisposed to become obese adults who suffer from many chronic diseases related to increased mortality rate of 40 percent. Obese children and adolescents tend to have more adverse health challenges compared to the counterparts with normal BMI. The task of addressing the chronic conditions related to childhood obesity is normally costly, with approximately $14 billion price tag and increasing (McGrath, 2017). Survey reports released by government agencies such as the National Conference of State Legislature, the total cost of obesity-associated nears $150 billion yearly, with taxpayers covering approximately sixty billion dollars. There is need to identify patterns that related to childhood obesity for professionals to seek better ways to address them. This PICOT statement evaluates childhood obesity in the United States. PICOT Statement Population Childhood obesity is a major health concern in the United States and other parts of the world since the disease is increasing. In the US, obesity prevalence is highest among children aged from 6 to 11 years (Cheung et al. 2016). The disease has tripled among this age group from 4.2 percent to 15.3 percent from 1963 to 2012. In 2013, 16 percent of children in the country were categorized as obese. The prevalence was highest at ages of 12 to 19 years and lowest at ages of 2 to 5 years. In the last three decades, increased cases of obesity prevalence have been noted among children of all ages, although the differences in obesity prevalence have been recorded in terms of age, race, ethnicity, and gender (Cheung et al. 2016). In this respect, children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families and some racial and ethnic minorities experience the higher median score on obesity than the dominant white population. Higher obesity rates are often recorded among blacks and Hispanics compared to whites. For instance, a survey on girls in the Southwest revealed that the yearly cases of obesity stood at 4.5 percent among Blacks, 2 percent among Hispanics, and 0.7 percent among white girls aged from 13 to 17 years (Cheung et al. 2016). For low-income earners, American Indians rank highest at 6.3 percent, followed closely by Hispanics at 5.5 percent. Intervention Evidence-based interventions that seek to reduce childhood obesity incidences in the country should target two major areas: prevention and treatment. High-quality RCT has been proven as one of the most effective preventative intervention, especially ...

Parenting Practices among Depressed Mothers in the Child Welfare System Patricia L. Kohl, Jacqueline Njeri Kagotho, and David Dixon The purpose of this study was to analyze a nationally representative sample of families referred to Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies, the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Weil-Being, to examine the association between maternal depression and parenting practices over a 36-month follow-up period.Three hypotheses were tested: (1) Depressed mothers are' more likely to demonstrate harsh parenting than are nondepressed mothers; (2) depressed mothers are more likely to demonstrate neglectful parenting than are nondepressed mothers; and (3) depressed mothers are more likely to demonstrate emotional maltreatment than are nondepressed mothers. The interaction between depression and time was also analyzed for each parenting practice to determine how changes in maternal depression affected changes in parenting. The sample for this study was 1,536 mother-child dyads in which the child was age three to 10 years and remained in the home after a CPS investigation. Depression remained high across time points and was associated with increased risk of emotional maltreatment and neglect over a 36-inonth period. In addition, self-reported emotional maltreatment remained high across time points. Implications of this work are the needs for better identification of mental health needs for mothers entering the child welfare system and parent training to specifically address positive parenting. KEY WORDS: child welfare; maternal depression; National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being; parenting M aternal depression, a critical public health concern, is prevalent among mothers referred to Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies. In fact, nearly a quarter of adults entering the child welfare system meet the diagnostic criteria for a major depressive episode in the preceding 12 months (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration on Children.Youth and Families [HHS, ACYF], 2005), compared with only 7% of adults in the general population (Kessler, Chiu, Demier, & Walters, 2005). Furthermore, w ômen have an increased likelihood of experiencing depression compared with men (Kessler et al., 2003), and women exposed to a high number of chronic Stressors—as many women referred to CPS agencies are—are three times more likely than women with less exposure to Stressors to experience maternal depression (Orr,James, Burns, & Thompson, 1989). Given that women comprise the vast majority of primary caregivers among the child welfare population (HHS, ACYF, 2005), it is important to understand how maternal depression affects outcomes after a CPS referral. The high rate of maternal depression in the child welfare system is a concern given its influence on parenting practices. Symptoms of depression may impede a woman's capacity to provide care for her children, placing her at risk to engage in neglectful parentin ...

Attempt to take the conversation further by examining their claims or arguments in more depth or responding to the posts that they make to you. Keep the discussion on target, and analyze things in as much detail as you can. Demonstrating that an Argument is Invalid The key concept in deductive logic is the concept of validity. One good way to learn to understand the concept of validity better is to discover what makes arguments invalid. Prepare: To prepare to respond to this prompt read carefully the required portions of Chapters 3 and 4, paying special attention to the sections from Chapter 3 about validity and using the counterexample method. Take a look as well at the required resources from this week, especially those that discuss the concept of validity. Reflect: Choose an argument from the following list of arguments (try to make sure not to choose the same argument as someone else). Consider the way in which the reasoning is actually invalid (perhaps subtly). Think about why that argument is invalid in the sense that it would be possible for all of the premises to be true and the conclusion false. Choose from the following list of argument options. 1. Everyone has to eat food with adequate calories. A bag of Doritos is food with adequate calories, so everyone should eat a bag of Doritos. 2. All winos drink alcohol. All alcoholics drink too much. Therefore all winos are alcoholics. 3. He won’t go to the wedding since he doesn’t like mushy stuff and weddings are mushy. 4. I can’t go to the movies with you – I have a test tomorrow and I have to study. 5. Capital punishment is wrong because it kills a human being. 6. To go to the movie you have to have a ticket. To buy a ticket you must pay money. Thus, to go the movie you must pay money. 7. All dogs have fur. All mammals have fur. So all dogs are mammals. 8. If he makes a lot of money then he dresses nice and has a fancy car. He does dress nice and have a fancy car. So he must make a lot of money. 9. He will cry during the movie if he is a big softie. He cried during the movie. Therefore he is a big softie. 10. If I wear that cologne then women will love me. I bought that cologne, so women are going to love me. .

The requirements for the discussion this week are a minimum of four posts on four separate days, including responses to at least two classmates.. The total combined word count for all of your posts, counted together, should be at least 600 words. Answer all the questions in the prompt, and read any resources that are required to complete the discussion properly. In order to satisfy the posting requirements for the week, complete your initial post by Day 3 (Thursday) and your other posts by Day 7 (Monday). We recommend that you get into the discussion early and spread out your posts over the course of the week. Reply to your classmates and instructor.

Keep the discussion on target, and analyze things in as much detail as you can. We have learned in Chapter 5 of our book that inductive inference is the most common kind of inference of all. It happens every day in each of our lives. This discussion will give each student a chance to create examples of common forms of inductive inference. Prepare: To prepare to answer this prompt, take another look at Chapter 5 of our book, paying close attention to the names of the various forms of inductive inference. Take a look as well at the required resources from this week. Reflect: Think about examples you have seen of each type of inductive inference in daily life. Consider the relative strength of such inferences in light of the methods of evaluation that you learned in the chapter. Write: To answer the prompt, create or find one example each of three different types of inductive inference that we learned in Chapter 5. Clearly indicate as well which type of inductive inference it is. For each of your arguments, include an analysis of its degree of strength using the evaluative methods we learned in the chapter for that type of argument. Guided Response: Respond to at least three of your classmates’ posts. In each case provide substantive thoughts about the strength of the inference. Mention as well what premises you think could be added to strengthen the inference or which might weaken it. How do you think that the argument could be improved? Responce 1 Rochelle Rothstein Wednesday Jul 5 at 4:47pm Appeals to authority, inductive generalizations, and statistical syllogisms are three common types of inductive inference. Appeals of authority means implying a truth because the source is an authority or subject matter expert. Some considerations to consider during analysis would be: Is the authority or subject matter expert a real, verified expert in the field? Do other subject matter experts in the field agree with the conclusion? Is the question relevant to the subject matter expert in their area of study? Another consideration is if the subject mat.

Refer to the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric under the Settings icon above for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated. The Virtues of Critical Thinkers Francisco Zeledon o The three valuable intellectual traits I can further strenghten are; Intellectual Perseverence , Intellectual Courage and Confidence in Reasoning. We all have concluded sometimes that someone's ideas or points of views are absurd, and they are not worth of considering any critical thinking on our part, but what if we are just wrong, because we never took the courage to be truth to those ideas and dedicate some time to explore them with critical thinking, I need to work on it. Also Intellectual perseverence is something I need to work on , being concious that; not matter the obstacles and difficulties I will stick to the principle of rationality, not caring what others might think about it. And lastly; Intellectual Autonomy, to be able to learn; I need to control my beliefs, values and inferences, using evidence and reason when evaluating someelse's ideas or thoughts. o Sheryl Gobert Go To Parent Anxiousness has been an issue that I faced for years. I always felt that things had to be done within a certain time frame in the day or in my life. If it seemed like I was not going to make a deadline or something that I felt like I was supposed to do that day, then I would go through an anxiety ritual that made me look like I was an unreasonable person. I thought that if things fell into place the way I thought they should, then everything was alright in my world. Well, what I found out is that nothing is ever going to go the way I want it to all the time or in my own time frame. Events take place that cause an effect on my (and everyone’s) life that are going to create different outcomes to something that was planned. I’ve learned that I’m not always in control of events that happen in my everyday life, so it’s useless and immature to get upset or anxious about things that I can’t control or not responsible for in life. Critical thinking has helped me deal with anxiety in a positive way. I’ve learned to think about the whole picture of why I’m stuck on a timeline and what would the outcome be if I didn’t make the timeline or event. Would I be in a negative place? Would it affect me as much as I thought it would? Would anyone else suffer from my actions? All these questions had the same answer, No. So, I decided to do what I could in the time that I had and not worry about getting everything done in a certain amount of time. I’ve also learned to take deep breaths to help calm myself down so that I could begin to rationalize my thoughts when I’m faced with pre-anxiety. The three valuable intellectual traits I can strength.

Your final project for this course will be a patient record analysis. You will apply the knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology that you have developed during this course in a thorough review of existing patient information. Specifically, you will review a patient’s history and a discharge chart from a recent physician visit, explaining the reasons behind diagnosis or (diagnoses) based on documented symptoms. You will also cite any inconsistencies or concerns and discuss potential and current treatments, all in preparation for your future coding practices. It may seem unnecessary to learn so much about pathophysiology and pharmacology for a career in health information management, but such knowledge is essential in ensuring the accuracy of patient records, coding, and billing. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final product will be submitted in Module Seven. In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes: · Analyze the pathophysiology of commonly diagnosed health conditions for anticipating the pharmacological needs of patients · Differentiate between common health conditions that present similar symptoms using evidence - based resources for ensuring accurate patient health records · Analyze standard pharmacological groupings and their specific drugs for their uses in treating patient symptoms and diseases · Integrate foundational concepts of anatomy, physiology, and medical terminology into the analysis of symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for informing accurate coding practices Prompt Your patient analysis should answer the following prompt Using the provided Final Project Patient File (attached), critically analyze the patient’s medical and family history and dissect the discharge chart from the patient’s recent visit. There are several inaccuracies and inconsistencies in this patient file; the pages of the file that contain issues are marked in the upper right - hand corner with red bookmarks. You must identify a total of three true issues with the patient file, explain what makes each identified issue a true issue, and discuss how you would approach addressing each issue in a real professional setting. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Patient History Analysis a) Summarize the patient history , explaining key patient demographics and family history that could be risk factors for common diseases. b) Identify the past diagnosis (or diagnoses, if more than one exists in the file) and explain how the diagnosis was made. Specifically, what tests were done? c) Discuss the symptoms the patient showed according to the file. Why and how did these symptoms lead the doctors to order certain tests? d) What alternate diagnosis (or diagnose.

Your Feeling on the Matter….. It is no secret that our nation and our public conversation about LGBT matters has changed in the last, not only 100 years, but more drastically in the last 20 years. This latest generation of kids (Millennials) have grown up in the most accepting and diverse American culture to date with respect to LGBT individuals, their families, and the issues they stand for. This week we watched the dramatized version of The Laramie Project. A play that was written to expose and relay the stories and horrific events of that day that happened to Mathew Shepard. As mentioned before, this is a play that is performed all over the United States. This play, like so many other plays that deal with LGBT themes and issues have been coming more and more to the fray of our national and public conversation. We have seen the rise of gay and lesbian characters in all of our entertainment including TV, film, and of course the Theatre. We see how the last 20 years of LGBT pointed entertainment has shaped the political discourse of our nations power brokers. We are changing laws and shaping society to a far greater degree in even the last 5 years so as to tackle the discrimination against this particular group. Gay marriages are now legal all over the states and those that would decry the LGBT lifestyle as something to be covered or shunned for cultural or religious reasons are now beginning to be seen as radical and out of touch where just 10-15 years ago those same voices held the majority of political power in our nation. How far we have come from even prop 8 in California that would have legalized same sex marriage in the state but was soundly struck down in 2008. If that prop was up for vote today it would win resoundingly. The waves of change are boundless and can be seen almost daily as we here more reports of judges, states, and the federal government ending discrimination all over the nation. Remember that a historic ruling from the US Supreme court, you can be gay and allowed to marry who you love and with who makes you happy in all 50 states. Here is the question(s) I have...... In light of the play you have now watched, the articles you have read, your research and your own general awareness and knowledge of the state of our national discourse with respect to LGBT issues: Do you feel that it has been a positive 15 to 20 years for Gay and Lesbian issues, their families and the way we feel about them? Do you feel that we have moved in a positive way as a nation since the Mathew Shepard event in 1998? Why or why not? How and why do you believe we have changed so quickly in our society toward the LGBT community? Have you seen any change in your own life with how you feel or behave toward Gay and Lesbian individuals? Would you watch a play or view a film or television that highlights LGBT themes and values? Why or why not? START A THREAD WITH AT LEAST 150 WORDS. REMEMBER TO RESPOND TO TWO OTHER STUDENTS IN THE CLASS AND THEIR INITIAL.

your critique posts should be at least 250 words and at least 1 reference!! The suicide bombing that took place April 3, 2017 on the metro line in St. Petersburg brought horror back to Russia’s reality, as it claimed 14 lives and injured 51 others (“St. Petersburg Attack: What We Know,” 2017). While this terrified the nation anew, the sad reality is that this is just one more in the list of attacks by terrorists on public infrastructure that have rocked the country since 2009 (“St. Petersburg Attack: What We Know,” 2017). The fact that this event took place in such a commonly used area/line of transportation creates fear, not just in the people of Russia, but in people all around the world, as it shows how quickly terrorism can strike and how hard it is to prevent. The United States has a unique approach to dealing with the matter of terrorism and trying to prevent future attacks, and the nine questions in the article outline what each one of them are. The questions try to make sure the information acquired about attacks result in real information, and not the conjectures that have been common in the media as of late. They focus on quickly determining if another attack is likely to come, who was involved, and both the ties and the motivation that the attacker had (“St. Petersburg Attack: What We Know,” 2017). The importance of these questions are in the way that they try to quickly establish whether the authorities need to be urgently searching for another possible site of attack and related bombs, as well as whether the people who did it are dead or on the loose. These all matter in trying to contain the damage from such attacks and limit the chance that they will happen again. All nine of the questions are helpful and important ones to consider, but the top two that are the most important are “Is there another attack coming?” and “Were the attackers part of a larger network?” (Byman, 2017). The first question that tries to discern if another attack is coming is important because this is how law enforcement can know to search other similar, or related, places, and to alert the public to stay in doors. Additionally, it can help police keep an eye on suspicious persons in areas that would be prime targets for terrorism because of their potential casualty count, and so this question provides the high alert that is necessary. Furthermore, the question regarding whether the attackers were part of a larger network is important to ask and answer because these networks result in future attacks and a general state of concern regarding their mission (Byman, 2017). If the network is identified and put at the center of investigations, then authorities can learn enough about it to hopefully disrupt future plans for violence and destruction. Getting to know the enemy is the key to beating him, and in terrorism this is a complicated undertaking, but one that has to be done in order to increase security. The additional .

Your assignment must answer the questions poised at the end of the scenario and written in APA format using a 12-point font. CRJ 550 Legal Issues in Criminal Justice Administration DRNC Scenario B ackground The following story is a fictional account of planning and preparation leading up to the mythical Democratic-Republican National Convention (DRNC) event in Miami, Florida. The story is loosely based on an amalgamation of real life occurrences in the lead up to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) C onference in Miami, Florida in 2003. The names of all the characters in the story are fictional. As you read the story, keep in mind what ethical and legal issues are likely to arise. At the end of the story, you will be asked to respond to several questions related to this scenario. For the DRNC event, Miami-Dade has formed a Host Committee, similar to the model used for the Super Bowl Host Committees of the past. The Host Committee is a small group of 15 appointed personnel from various county and municipal agencies, as well as the private sector. Miami-Dade Police Department Director Melanie Duncan is one of the committee members. The Host Committee is chaired by Mr. Horace Copeland, a long-time assistant to the County Manager, Miguel Herrera. The purpose of the Host Committee is to plan for the overall event. As such, they are responsible for recommending policy, but not for enacting policy. The enactment of policy remains the ultimate responsibility of the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). The Democratic-Republican National Party (DRNP) has designated Ms. Cassandra Armand as its chair of the DRNC’s Committee on Arrangements (COA). The COA is the main organizer from the DRNP for this event. Ms. Armand and Mr. Copeland from the Host Committee work hand-in-hand to plan this event and their recommendations to the BOCC carry considerable weight for policy formulation. Miami-Dade Police has been designated as the lead local agency and lead operational planner for the event security. This policy differs significantly from the 2003 FTAA in which the City of Miami was designated as the lead local agency. Since this event meets the criteria of a National Special Security Event (NSSE), the U.S. Secret Service has been designated as the lead coordinating agency with overarching statutory authority for the planning and execution of the event. Supervisory Special Agent Samantha Salerno has been appointed as the lead agent in-charge for the event . So far a few major planning decisions have been made. The American Airlines Arena in Downtown Miami has been selected as the location for the main event of the convention. Because of its proximity to the entrance to the Port of Miami, the selection of this arena poses some challenges regarding the balance between buffer zone security and the normal, day-to-day business of the Port, which includes cargo traffic, as well as cruise ship passenger traffic. Moreover, the local merchants .

You work for the local public health department in the Immunization Registry and Vaccine for Children (VFC) division. Your job is to interface with local pediatricians and primary care physicians, making sure immunizations are being properly reported and the providers that participate in the VFC immunization program are properly documenting vaccine use and patient information. You have been briefed by the chief epidemiologist who states that a growing public complacency about the need for childhood immunizations has resulted in record low levels of registry immunizations against preventable diseases.
