ALBERT ELLIS (1913–2007)
was born in Pittsburgh but
escaped to the wilds of New
York at the age of 4 and lived
there (except for a year in New
Jersey) for the rest of his life. He
was hospitalized nine times as
a child, mainly with nephritis,
and developed renal glycosuria
at the age of 19 and diabetes at the age of 40. By rigor-
ously taking care of his health and stubbornly refusing
to make himself miserable about it, he lived an unusually
robust and energetic life, until his death at age 93.
Realizing that he could counsel people skillfully and
that he greatly enjoyed doing so, Ellis decided to become
a psychologist. Believing psychoanalysis to be the
deepest form of psychotherapy, Ellis was analyzed and
supervised by a training analyst. He then practiced psy-
choanalytically oriented psychotherapy, but eventually
he became disillusioned with the slow progress of his cli-
ents. He observed that they improved more quickly once
they changed their ways of thinking about themselves
and their problems. Early in 1955 he developed rational
emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Ellis has rightly been
called the “grandfather of cognitive behavior therapy.”
Until his illness during the last two years of his life, he
generally worked 16 hours a day, seeing many clients for
individual therapy, making time each day for professional
writing, and giving numerous talks and workshops in
many parts of the world.
To some extent Ellis developed his approach as a
method of dealing with his own problems during his
youth. At one point in his life, for example, he had exag-

Notes for the professor:
Much of the content on these slides are based on Robbins & Judge (2012)
(“Essentials of Organizational Behavior” textbook, edition 11, chapter 2: attitudes
and job satisfaction)

Attitudes are evaluative statements and these statements can be favorable or
unfavorable. Individuals’ attitudes at work such as their satisfaction with their jobs
or their commitment to the organization are important because factors like job
satisfaction and organizational commitment can relate to one’s performance at
work.
According to the single component definition, attitudes constitute of only “affect”
or, in other words, of feelings we have about objects, people, or events. This single
component view simplifies things for us as it only refers to “affect” or feelings. We
tend to have complex views about the world but at the same time we want to predict
behavior. We can predict behavior by looking at one’s attitudes through identifying
one’s affect about objects, people, or events.
According to the tri-component view, which represents a more complicated view of
attitudes, attitudes consist of affect, behavior, and cognition. These are the ABC’s of
attitudes. According to this view or definition, affect includes how you feel,
behavior includes how you behave (how you behave is considered as part of your
attitude), and cognition includes your thoughts, your rationalizations. According to
the tri-component view of attitudes, one’s attitudes include one’s affect, behaviors,
and cognitions about objects, people, or events. For example, you may hate your job
(negative affect), but you may show up at work (behavior) not to get fired. You
might also have these cognitions that say “I should be happy to get this job…”. As you see in
this example, the components (affect, cognition, and behavior) may not be consistent.
An example where the components (affect, cognition, and behavior) are consistent is the
following: “I like my job (affect), I show up at work (behavior), and work is good for me
because it keeps my mind sharp and allows me to learn new skills, travel, make friends, be a
part of a social community, pay for my bills, pay for the things I want to do in my life, and
keeps me active and in the work force. Also, I should be very happy and grateful to have this
job because so many of my friends have been looking for a great job for a long time now.” In
another example, you may like smoking (affect), you may smoke a pack a day (behavior), and
you may have a cognition that says “smoking is good for me because I don’t get overweight”
or “it increases brain activity” (cognition). In both of these examples, the components (affect,
cognition, behavior) are consistent and, therefore, individuals do not experience dissonance.
However, to the extent that these components are not consistent, individuals experience
dissonance, in others words, an aversive mental state (which will be discussed in later s ...

The COVID-19 has affected over 45 million in the United States and has led to over seven hundred and forty thousand deaths across the United States. The pandemic has increasingly affected all individuals and has led to various economic as well as social changes. However, there have been some health disparities identified with people of color being among the most affected individuals (Reyes, 2020). Nurses are at the frontline of providing health care services to individuals that have been infected by the virus. Therefore, as a nurse, I have come across various COVID-19 cases where the patient needed to be observed or there was a need to manage the condition.
One case was that of a middle-aged pregnant woman that had contracted the virus. The symptoms started as headaches and feeling tired. She stated that she initially assumed these symptoms as normal pregnancy symptoms as she had earlier on in the week engaged in some intensive exercises as she went shopping with some family members. However, one evening she had some challenges breathing and her family members rushed her to the hospital. She had to be put on oxygen as she needed support breathing. She was given a PCR test that turned out to be negative. However, the fact that she needed to be on oxygen necessitated another test which also read negative. At this point, it was crucial that a chest scan be done to help with the diagnosis. Upon the scan, the physician diagnosed the patient with COVID-19. Her condition quickly deteriorated and she had to be put in intensive care. It was especially challenging caring for her given that she was seven months pregnant at the time. At one point, the family had contemplated terminating the pregnancy to increase her chances of surviving given that fetal movements had subsided for a while. However, after a few weeks in the intensive care unit, she made a full recovery and was able to deliver her baby full-term. She remained on oxygen and under observation until ...
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available LesleyWhitesidefv
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available short answer questions and one of the two essay questions. Please label each response (e.g., Short Answer 3) to indicate what question you are responding to. Please also sort your short answer responses in numerical order (so 1,2,4 if those are the three questions you answer – even if you prepared them in 4,1,2 order).
PART ONE: Answer three of the following four short answer questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number. A target range for responses to these questions is approximately 250 words.
Short Answer 1
History depends on the choice to narrate certain facts and omit others. All histories are incomplete, which makes the act of writing history both powerful and creative. Why does the distinction between “what happened” and “what is said to have happened” matter?
Short Answer 2
What is the “Great Man Myth” and how does that lens shape what histories get told? What histories get omitted when we focus on the Great Man Myth? Incorporate examples from at least one media technology to help support your answer.
Short Answer 3
In “The Case of the Telegraph,” James Carey argued, “The simplest and most important point about the telegraph is that it marked the decisive separation of ‘transportation’ and ‘communication.’” Describe two ideologies that were ushered in by the telegraph and how they changed society. Your answer should consider both the dominant history and also an alternative or counter history for each development.
Short Answer 4
While mainstream history celebrates photography as the first visual medium for objectivity and evidence, counter histories claim that it actually muddied the distinction between objective and subjective knowledge. Explain how photography blurred the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity and how that transmitted and influenced cultural and social ideologies. Provide specific examples to support your argument.
PART TWO: Answer one of the following two essay questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number.
Your answers should engage these questions at the conceptual level and use specific examples from the media histories we have covered this semester to support your arguments. A target range for this essay response is probably in the 1,200-2,000 word range.
Essay 1
In the first part of the Media Histories course, we have repeatedly turned to Benedict Anderson’s argument about imagined communities:
I propose the following definition of the nation: it is an imagined political community – and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
It is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communication…
Communities are to be distinguished not by their ...

This document outlines a research study that uses data mining techniques to analyze student behavior data from an online course. Specifically, it uses cluster analysis to group students based on similarity of behavior patterns in the learning management system. It also uses decision tree analysis to classify students and identify attributes that influence exam performance. The goal is to gain insights into how recorded student activities in the online platform relate to successful course completion. The study analyzes log file data capturing student interactions from one course during one semester at a university in Croatia. Results from both cluster analysis and decision tree modeling are presented.

It describes a situation where a nurse posted a photo of a patient on Facebook, which was a violation of the organization's social media policy. As a result, the organization formed a task force to educate staff on these topics through interprofessional updates. The document outlines required content and competencies to be demonstrated in the staff update, such as defining protected health information, privacy/security, and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration to safeguard patient data.

Introduction
Early attempts at quality efforts were limited to the resources, knowledge, and environment in which health care services and treatment were rendered. As medical education and research advanced so did the knowledge of and focus on quality improvement efforts. Basic functions including handwashing and sterile environments were two of the many simple advancements resulting in dramatic improvements in outcomes and overall quality.
Regulatory agencies have directly impacted health care organizations' focus on, and attention to, quality improvement. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission offers accreditation to various health care organizations who demonstrate compliance with established regulatory standards. Combined with various government agencies, initiatives have been implemented that require health care organizations to report on quality measures, thereby making their quality performance transparent throughout the industry.
As a leader in the health care industry, understanding historical perspectives of quality, regulatory oversight, and medical malpractice will allow you to effectively lead your organization to meet or exceed its strategic goals related to improved outcomes, increased reimbursements, and reduced cost.

Criticism
“Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment. …. Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”

“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.”

Problem-Solving Application Case—
Incentives Gone Wrong, then Wrong
Again, and Wrong Again
The Wells Fargo scandal demonstrates how a company’s choice and implementation of performance management incentives can have
disastrous side effects. This activity is important because it illustrates why managers must never implement an incentive scheme without
considering as much as possible any and all effects that it may have on employees’ behavior.
The goal of this activity is for you to understand the link between the details of Wells Fargo’s incentive scheme and the employee behaviors that
resulted from it.
Read about how performance incentives led to scandal at Wells Fargo. Then, using the three-step problem-solving approach, answer the
questions that follow.
Money is an important tool for both attracting and motivating talent. If you owned a company or were its CEO, you would likely agree and
choose performance management practices to deliver such outcomes. It also is possible you’d use incentives to help align your employees’
interests, behaviors, and performance with those of the company. After all, countless companies have used incentives very successfully, but not
all. The incentives used by Wells Fargo had disastrous consequences for employees, customers, and the company itself.

Lesson Introduction
After reading this week’s materials, you will be able to define the role of police patrol and its importance as applied to law enforcement intelligence.
Lesson Objectives
● Outline and discuss early police and patrol procedures
● Evaluate modern patrol allocations
Course Objectives that apply to this lesson:
CO: (3) Demonstrate an understanding of the history of police patrol procedures from the days of early policing to modern day policing allocations.
Patrol
There are many ways to determine the best way to allocate patrol resources in a community. Some of them are covered in our studies but that is not the whole story. Keep in mind that it is more likely to be a combination of models as well as a sensitivity to specific to regional and demographic considerations.
It is important to take many variables into consideration when determining how best to utilize patrols. At the same time, we must remember to expect the unexpected and be as prepared as possible to respond. No two situations, weeks, months, or years will ever be exactly the same. This is part of what makes a career in criminal justice such a challenge and also so rewarding.
In the early 1900’s and before the work of August Vollmer, there was not much information concerning police allocation. Vollmer created a list of police functions such as crime prevention, criminal investigation, traffic control, and patrol. In the early deployment allocation models, the police were distributed based on calls for service and officer workloads. Although what appeared to be effective at the time, more research began to see potential issues with this model such as police saturation may cause a higher number of arrests. Other departments in this time frame distributed patrol units evenly without taking into account other factors such as crimes, population, distance, or number of personnel.
Preventative Patrol
As police operations moved forward, other methods of deployment emerged. In the 1960’s, law enforcement professional started to shift focus on preventative patrol methods. As discussed in previous lessons, t ...
· What does the Goodale and Humphrey (1998) article mean by the fLesleyWhitesidefv
The document discusses a 1998 article by Goodale and Humphrey that proposed vision has two separate but interacting functions - perception and action control. It argues that separate visual systems have evolved for perception (the ventral stream) and action control (the dorsal stream), which differs from Ungerleider and Mishkin's 1982 theory that proposed one unified visual system. The document provides evidence from studies of "rewired" frogs to support the existence of separate visuomotor modules for different behaviors. It suggests this duplex approach means reconstructive and purposive views of vision are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.

Worldview & Decision-Making
The sudden neurological injury that is not likely to recover puts the person in denial if the person is somewhat conscious. It is hard to accept for even family that sudden change in care given stage. Those patients have physical problems like paralysis of facial muscles or losing sensation in the face, altered sense of smell or taste, loss of vision, swallowing difficulties, dizziness, ringing in the ear, and hearing loss. They also have altered consciousness, intellectual problems, cognitive problems, Executive functioning problems, communication problems, behavioral changes, emotional changes, sensory problems, and degenerative issues.
The majority of persons who have suffered substantial brain damage will need rehabilitation. They may have to relearn basic abilities like walking and to talk. The objective is to increase their ability to carry out everyday tasks. Rehabilitation includes a group of people who master different specialties to help patients maintain living activity. An occupational therapist, who supports the person learning, relearn or improving skills to perform everyday activities—a physical therapist who helps with mobility and relearning movement patterns, balance, and walking. The social worker or case manager facilitates access to service agencies, assists with care decisions and planning, and facilitates communication among various professionals, care providers, and family members. A rehabilitation nurse assists with discharge planning from a hospital or rehabilitation center by providing continuous rehabilitation care and services. Speech and language therapist supports the person to improve communication skills and use assistive communication devices if necessary. A recreational therapist helps the patient with Time management and leisure activities. We can also use music therapy and aroma therapy to relax patients who face incurable health conditions.

Values and Moral Survey of Students
SCORING AND INTERPRETATION: If trying to rank in order these fifteen values and morals was difficult and you felt that it was somewhat arbitrary; it was. Without the proper context, exact meaning of each, and the problem of one concept being like others, everyone gets frustrated with this exercise. To be sure, this exercise does not tell you what your real morals or values are. Rather, it is a crude representation of what they might be. At the end of the simulation, compare what you ranked as important to what your decisions were. The following are vague descriptions of the fifteen values and morals:
ASSISTANCE: The act of helping or assisting someone or the help supplied.
CANDOR: Freedom from prejudice or malice.
CHARACTER: Someone with moral excellence.
CHARITY: Generosity and helpfulness, especially toward the needy or suffering.
COMPASSION: Sympathetic consciousness of others' distress with a desire to alleviate it.
ENVIRONMENT: Concern about the world's resources (land, water, air).
EXACTING IN TRUTH: Rigid or severe in demands or requirements.
FAIRNESS: Free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness.
HONESTY: Sincerity, frankness, freedom from deceit or fraud.
INTEGRITY: Firm adherence to a code of values; incorruptibility.
PERSEVERANCE: To do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.
SACRIFICE: Surrender of something for the sake of something else.
SERIOUSNESS: Thoughtful in appearance or manner; requiring much thought or work relating to a matter of importance.
TOLERANCE: Sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own.
TRUTHFULNESS: Corresponding with reality.

Overview
During your past briefings to Chief Glen Edwards, several in the command staff have mentioned the need in the department for more equipment. Your readings and investigation into the response to terrorism have led you to understand that the federal government has programs where local police agencies can obtain equipment. The chief understands that there are benefits and problems with any choice, so he has asked you to create a presentation for the command staff. He wants it to address the benefits they should expect, as well as the problems this equipment can bring with it.
Instructions
Create a PowerPoint presentation for the command staff that includes the following components:
· Specify three types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Contrast two positive and negative results associated with types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Describe negative images caused by types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Explain why the public may have concerns about the negative images this military equipment or arms may cause (for example, in the perception of the militarization of the police).
Requirements
· Length: Include an introduction slide, 8–10 information slides, and a references slide.
· References: Include 3–4 scholarly references in APA format.
You are required to submit your assignment to Turnitin. Once you review your results and make any needed changes, submit your paper for grading.

Primary Care Nurse practitioner (NP) Role vs. APN Roles
Compare the primary care NP role with other APN roles. What are the similarities among the roles, what are the differences, and how would you communicate the role to a healthcare provider and a consumer?
The advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) has different roles and responsibilities that nurses can undertake depending on the nature of their training. An APRN can also be referred to as a nurse practitioner (NP). There are other designated roles other than the NP such as the clinical nurse specialist (CNS), the certified nurse-midwives (CNM), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) (Everett et al., 2016). These roles have similarities and differences and many cases of overlapping responsibilities and in some cases, the need for collaboration to achieve the desired patient outcomes. The primary care NP is a specific role within the purview of NPs in which the provider is a general practitioner without any specialty training (Butler et al., 2017). The NP has roles such as completing patient assessments including conducting a physical examination. The primary care NP can also undertake diagnostic approaches such as ordering lab works and imaging procedures and providing appropriate interpretation. The NP can provide treatment and monitoring of the patient and also provide health education and other primary prevention measures.
One similarity of the role of primary NP to other APRN roles is that they have the scope to conduct independent patient assessments. All roles of the APRN have the scope of taking the patient's history, conducting a proper physical exam, and ensuring an appropriate differential diagnosis (Phillips, 2016). The APRN has completed competencies in the assessment of the patient and he/she can use these competencies to determine and fulfill patient needs. Another similarity of the role of the primary care NP to other APRNs is the role of providing patient education, mentoring, and advocating for the needs of the patient (Hanks et al., 2018). Each APRN has a responsibility to empower the patient by providing health education about their condition or the treatment process to support their autonomy. The patient is the primary decision-maker in the clinical area and providing them with education supports their ability to make proper healthcare decisions.
The role of the primary care NP is different from the role of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) in the sense of anesthesia and pain management. The CRNA is a specialist in pre, intra and post-operative pain and anesthesia management and this is a role that the NP does not have scope for (Butler et al., 2017). Th ...

The COVID-19 has affected over 45 million in the United States and has led to over seven hundred and forty thousand deaths across the United States. The pandemic has increasingly affected all individuals and has led to various economic as well as social changes. However, there have been some health disparities identified with people of color being among the most affected individuals (Reyes, 2020). Nurses are at the frontline of providing health care services to individuals that have been infected by the virus. Therefore, as a nurse, I have come across various COVID-19 cases where the patient needed to be observed or there was a need to manage the condition.
One case was that of a middle-aged pregnant woman that had contracted the virus. The symptoms started as headaches and feeling tired. She stated that she initially assumed these symptoms as normal pregnancy symptoms as she had earlier on in the week engaged in some intensive exercises as she went shopping with some family members. However, one evening she had some challenges breathing and her family members rushed her to the hospital. She had to be put on oxygen as she needed support breathing. She was given a PCR test that turned out to be negative. However, the fact that she needed to be on oxygen necessitated another test which also read negative. At this point, it was crucial that a chest scan be done to help with the diagnosis. Upon the scan, the physician diagnosed the patient with COVID-19. Her condition quickly deteriorated and she had to be put in intensive care. It was especially challenging caring for her given that she was seven months pregnant at the time. At one point, the family had contemplated terminating the pregnancy to increase her chances of surviving given that fetal movements had subsided for a while. However, after a few weeks in the intensive care unit, she made a full recovery and was able to deliver her baby full-term. She remained on oxygen and under observation until ...
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available LesleyWhitesidefv
· You have choices. You should answer three of the four available short answer questions and one of the two essay questions. Please label each response (e.g., Short Answer 3) to indicate what question you are responding to. Please also sort your short answer responses in numerical order (so 1,2,4 if those are the three questions you answer – even if you prepared them in 4,1,2 order).
PART ONE: Answer three of the following four short answer questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number. A target range for responses to these questions is approximately 250 words.
Short Answer 1
History depends on the choice to narrate certain facts and omit others. All histories are incomplete, which makes the act of writing history both powerful and creative. Why does the distinction between “what happened” and “what is said to have happened” matter?
Short Answer 2
What is the “Great Man Myth” and how does that lens shape what histories get told? What histories get omitted when we focus on the Great Man Myth? Incorporate examples from at least one media technology to help support your answer.
Short Answer 3
In “The Case of the Telegraph,” James Carey argued, “The simplest and most important point about the telegraph is that it marked the decisive separation of ‘transportation’ and ‘communication.’” Describe two ideologies that were ushered in by the telegraph and how they changed society. Your answer should consider both the dominant history and also an alternative or counter history for each development.
Short Answer 4
While mainstream history celebrates photography as the first visual medium for objectivity and evidence, counter histories claim that it actually muddied the distinction between objective and subjective knowledge. Explain how photography blurred the distinction between objectivity and subjectivity and how that transmitted and influenced cultural and social ideologies. Provide specific examples to support your argument.
PART TWO: Answer one of the following two essay questions. Be sure to label your answers with the question number and arrange them in question order number.
Your answers should engage these questions at the conceptual level and use specific examples from the media histories we have covered this semester to support your arguments. A target range for this essay response is probably in the 1,200-2,000 word range.
Essay 1
In the first part of the Media Histories course, we have repeatedly turned to Benedict Anderson’s argument about imagined communities:
I propose the following definition of the nation: it is an imagined political community – and imagined as both inherently limited and sovereign.
It is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communication…

Introduction
Early attempts at quality efforts were limited to the resources, knowledge, and environment in which health care services and treatment were rendered. As medical education and research advanced so did the knowledge of and focus on quality improvement efforts. Basic functions including handwashing and sterile environments were two of the many simple advancements resulting in dramatic improvements in outcomes and overall quality.
Regulatory agencies have directly impacted health care organizations' focus on, and attention to, quality improvement. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission offers accreditation to various health care organizations who demonstrate compliance with established regulatory standards. Combined with various government agencies, initiatives have been implemented that require health care organizations to report on quality measures, thereby making their quality performance transparent throughout the industry.
As a leader in the health care industry, understanding historical perspectives of quality, regulatory oversight, and medical malpractice will allow you to effectively lead your organization to meet or exceed its strategic goals related to improved outcomes, increased reimbursements, and reduced cost.

Criticism
“Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment. …. Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”
People are Emotional
“When dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity.”
The Key to Influencing Others
“The only way on earth to influence other people is to talk about what they want and show them how to get it.”
The Secret of Success
“If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.”

Problem-Solving Application Case—
Incentives Gone Wrong, then Wrong
Again, and Wrong Again
The Wells Fargo scandal demonstrates how a company’s choice and implementation of performance management incentives can have
disastrous side effects. This activity is important because it illustrates why managers must never implement an incentive scheme without
considering as much as possible any and all effects that it may have on employees’ behavior.
The goal of this activity is for you to understand the link between the details of Wells Fargo’s incentive scheme and the employee behaviors that
resulted from it.
Read about how performance incentives led to scandal at Wells Fargo. Then, using the three-step problem-solving approach, answer the
questions that follow.
Money is an important tool for both attracting and motivating talent. If you owned a company or were its CEO, you would likely agree and
choose performance management practices to deliver such outcomes. It also is possible you’d use incentives to help align your employees’
interests, behaviors, and performance with those of the company. After all, countless companies have used incentives very successfully, but not
all. The incentives used by Wells Fargo had disastrous consequences for employees, customers, and the company itself.

Lesson Introduction
After reading this week’s materials, you will be able to define the role of police patrol and its importance as applied to law enforcement intelligence.
Lesson Objectives
● Outline and discuss early police and patrol procedures
● Evaluate modern patrol allocations
Course Objectives that apply to this lesson:
CO: (3) Demonstrate an understanding of the history of police patrol procedures from the days of early policing to modern day policing allocations.
Patrol
There are many ways to determine the best way to allocate patrol resources in a community. Some of them are covered in our studies but that is not the whole story. Keep in mind that it is more likely to be a combination of models as well as a sensitivity to specific to regional and demographic considerations.
It is important to take many variables into consideration when determining how best to utilize patrols. At the same time, we must remember to expect the unexpected and be as prepared as possible to respond. No two situations, weeks, months, or years will ever be exactly the same. This is part of what makes a career in criminal justice such a challenge and also so rewarding.
In the early 1900’s and before the work of August Vollmer, there was not much information concerning police allocation. Vollmer created a list of police functions such as crime prevention, criminal investigation, traffic control, and patrol. In the early deployment allocation models, the police were distributed based on calls for service and officer workloads. Although what appeared to be effective at the time, more research began to see potential issues with this model such as police saturation may cause a higher number of arrests. Other departments in this time frame distributed patrol units evenly without taking into account other factors such as crimes, population, distance, or number of personnel.
Preventative Patrol
As police operations moved forward, other methods of deployment emerged. In the 1960’s, law enforcement professional started to shift focus on preventative patrol methods. As discussed in previous lessons, t ...
· What does the Goodale and Humphrey (1998) article mean by the fLesleyWhitesidefv
The document discusses a 1998 article by Goodale and Humphrey that proposed vision has two separate but interacting functions - perception and action control. It argues that separate visual systems have evolved for perception (the ventral stream) and action control (the dorsal stream), which differs from Ungerleider and Mishkin's 1982 theory that proposed one unified visual system. The document provides evidence from studies of "rewired" frogs to support the existence of separate visuomotor modules for different behaviors. It suggests this duplex approach means reconstructive and purposive views of vision are complementary rather than mutually exclusive.

Worldview & Decision-Making
The sudden neurological injury that is not likely to recover puts the person in denial if the person is somewhat conscious. It is hard to accept for even family that sudden change in care given stage. Those patients have physical problems like paralysis of facial muscles or losing sensation in the face, altered sense of smell or taste, loss of vision, swallowing difficulties, dizziness, ringing in the ear, and hearing loss. They also have altered consciousness, intellectual problems, cognitive problems, Executive functioning problems, communication problems, behavioral changes, emotional changes, sensory problems, and degenerative issues.
The majority of persons who have suffered substantial brain damage will need rehabilitation. They may have to relearn basic abilities like walking and to talk. The objective is to increase their ability to carry out everyday tasks. Rehabilitation includes a group of people who master different specialties to help patients maintain living activity. An occupational therapist, who supports the person learning, relearn or improving skills to perform everyday activities—a physical therapist who helps with mobility and relearning movement patterns, balance, and walking. The social worker or case manager facilitates access to service agencies, assists with care decisions and planning, and facilitates communication among various professionals, care providers, and family members. A rehabilitation nurse assists with discharge planning from a hospital or rehabilitation center by providing continuous rehabilitation care and services. Speech and language therapist supports the person to improve communication skills and use assistive communication devices if necessary. A recreational therapist helps the patient with Time management and leisure activities. We can also use music therapy and aroma therapy to relax patients who face incurable health conditions.

Values and Moral Survey of Students
SCORING AND INTERPRETATION: If trying to rank in order these fifteen values and morals was difficult and you felt that it was somewhat arbitrary; it was. Without the proper context, exact meaning of each, and the problem of one concept being like others, everyone gets frustrated with this exercise. To be sure, this exercise does not tell you what your real morals or values are. Rather, it is a crude representation of what they might be. At the end of the simulation, compare what you ranked as important to what your decisions were. The following are vague descriptions of the fifteen values and morals:
ASSISTANCE: The act of helping or assisting someone or the help supplied.
CANDOR: Freedom from prejudice or malice.
CHARACTER: Someone with moral excellence.
CHARITY: Generosity and helpfulness, especially toward the needy or suffering.
COMPASSION: Sympathetic consciousness of others' distress with a desire to alleviate it.
ENVIRONMENT: Concern about the world's resources (land, water, air).
EXACTING IN TRUTH: Rigid or severe in demands or requirements.
FAIRNESS: Free from bias or injustice; evenhandedness.
HONESTY: Sincerity, frankness, freedom from deceit or fraud.
INTEGRITY: Firm adherence to a code of values; incorruptibility.
PERSEVERANCE: To do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition.
SACRIFICE: Surrender of something for the sake of something else.
SERIOUSNESS: Thoughtful in appearance or manner; requiring much thought or work relating to a matter of importance.
TOLERANCE: Sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices differing from or conflicting with one's own.
TRUTHFULNESS: Corresponding with reality.

You could strengthen your plan by including the specific communication plan, assessment tools, and evaluation rubrics that you would use with the students. You mentioned generalities of instruction, but you did not include the specifics of how instruction would be implemented. What does "Pragmatic practices on basic principles of engineering statics" mean? How is this taught? What does this look like? Your assessment should be presented. For example, you noted that "Theoretical studies to be evaluate through continuous assessment exams (CAT) which should be administered twice in a semester.."

Competencies Addressed in This Assignment
· Competency 3: Articulate how terrorism impacts policy and operations of law enforcement in America.
· Competency 5: Communicate effectively in a variety of formats.
Overview
During your past briefings to Chief Glen Edwards, several in the command staff have mentioned the need in the department for more equipment. Your readings and investigation into the response to terrorism have led you to understand that the federal government has programs where local police agencies can obtain equipment. The chief understands that there are benefits and problems with any choice, so he has asked you to create a presentation for the command staff. He wants it to address the benefits they should expect, as well as the problems this equipment can bring with it.
Instructions
Create a PowerPoint presentation for the command staff that includes the following components:
· Specify three types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Contrast two positive and negative results associated with types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Describe negative images caused by types of military equipment or arms that are available through the federal government for local law enforcement.
· Explain why the public may have concerns about the negative images this military equipment or arms may cause (for example, in the perception of the militarization of the police).
Requirements
· Length: Include an introduction slide, 8–10 information slides, and a references slide.

Primary Care Nurse practitioner (NP) Role vs. APN Roles
Compare the primary care NP role with other APN roles. What are the similarities among the roles, what are the differences, and how would you communicate the role to a healthcare provider and a consumer?
The advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) has different roles and responsibilities that nurses can undertake depending on the nature of their training. An APRN can also be referred to as a nurse practitioner (NP). There are other designated roles other than the NP such as the clinical nurse specialist (CNS), the certified nurse-midwives (CNM), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) (Everett et al., 2016). These roles have similarities and differences and many cases of overlapping responsibilities and in some cases, the need for collaboration to achieve the desired patient outcomes. The primary care NP is a specific role within the purview of NPs in which the provider is a general practitioner without any specialty training (Butler et al., 2017). The NP has roles such as completing patient assessments including conducting a physical examination. The primary care NP can also undertake diagnostic approaches such as ordering lab works and imaging procedures and providing appropriate interpretation. The NP can provide treatment and monitoring of the patient and also provide health education and other primary prevention measures.
One similarity of the role of primary NP to other APRN roles is that they have the scope to conduct independent patient assessments. All roles of the APRN have the scope of taking the patient's history, conducting a proper physical exam, and ensuring an appropriate differential diagnosis (Phillips, 2016). The APRN has completed competencies in the assessment of the patient and he/she can use these competencies to determine and fulfill patient needs. Another similarity of the role of the primary care NP to other APRNs is the role of providing patient education, mentoring, and advocating for the needs of the patient (Hanks et al., 2018). Each APRN has a responsibility to empower the patient by providing health education about their condition or the treatment process to support their autonomy. The patient is the primary decision-maker in the clinical area and providing them with education supports their ability to make proper healthcare decisions.
The role of the primary care NP is different from the role of certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA) in the sense of anesthesia and pain management. The CRNA is a specialist in pre, intra and post-operative pain and anesthesia management and this is a role that the NP does not have scope for (Butler et al., 2017). Th ...
2. Bibliography.
Length:
The length of each annotation depends on specific assignment
directions. It can be a few
sentences or as long as 150-200 words. Like an abstract, it
should not be more than one
paragraph long. It may contain verb phrases with the
understanding that the source is the subject,
but preferably, it should contain only complete sentences.
Selecting Sources:
The first step in creating an annotated bibliography is to find
relevant sources with valuable
information and ideas about your topic. Refer to your
assignment for instructions on the specific
number and type of source required. Often, you will be required
to utilize the GCU Library to
locate sources (e.g., peer-reviewed journal articles and
scholarly books). The GCU Library can
be accessed at https://library.gcu.edu. Read abstracts of sources
to select the most appropriate.
There are a variety of helpful services and tools provided by the
GCU Library designed to assist
students with locating the best sources for assignments. Popular
services include tutorials, live
webinars, and subject-specific research guides. Librarians are
also available via telephone, email,
and chat. The library’s contact information and hours are
located at https://library.gcu.edu.
For those students wishing to compile their source citations in a
centralized location with the
ability to assist in the creation of bibliography, RefWorks is an
excellent option. This is
4. An evaluative annotation is a critical analysis of the strengths,
weaknesses, and biases of the
source, and why you think it is useful.
An annotation may contain some or all of the following
depending on the assignment directions
and the content of the source:
• Background of the author(s)
• Conclusions made by the author(s)
• Summary of the content or scope of the text
• Outline of the main argument
• Intended audience
• Research methodology
• Reliability of the text
• Special features of the text that were unique or helpful (charts,
glossary, graphs, etc.)
• Relevance or usefulness of the text for your research
• How the text relates to themes or concepts in your course
• Strengths and weaknesses of the text
• Your view or reaction to the text

healthcare workers amidst COVID-19: A randomized controlled
trial from Central India. Indian journal of psychological

Effectiveness of Telecounseling on the Psychological Problems
of Frontline Healthcare Workers Amidst COVID-19: A
Randomized Controlled Trial from Central India (sagepub.com)
During the Covid 19 pandemic, could telecounseling be a
successful model of psychological intervention for frontline
healthcare personnel with psychological issues?
This study followed a single blind, active arm versus general
education; Parallel group randomized control design.
As the telecounseling services were aimed at HCWs who were
actively involved in patient care, inclusion criteria included
HCWs (doctors and nursing staff, but not other fHCWs as
indicated above).
This study was conducted as part of a broader one (an online
survey) to determine the extent and causes of psychological
issues among HCW. It was conducted between April 2020 and
June 2020, while the epidemic was still evolving and there was
a lack of knowledge and resources to deal with it.
The participants were educated about their current level of
mental illness and invited them to participate in the research.
General guidance, COVID-19-related data, counseling, and
various behavioral activities are being evaluated as
psychological interventions to alleviate their psychological
difficulties.
This study found no baseline differences between the two
groups (telecounseling group, n = 9; general education group, n
= 10). On the DASS-21 intention-to-treat analysis, a significant
19. time-effect was detected (P = 0.044 to.001).
The study found that telecounseling could be a realistic and
scalable model of psychological therapies for the fHCW with
psychological issues, despite certain feasibility constraints.
A total of 59 people were contacted about taking part in the
study.
Potential volunteers (n = 16, 27.1 percent) opted out of the
study, which was a disappointment.
To close the gap in mental health care, more research is needed,
especially including diverse groups and different technology.
This article directly supports my picot question by illustrating
how telecounseling services can help in helping reduce COVID
19 impacts among the front-line workers,

The goal of this study was to help healthcare personnel in the
event of a future illness outbreak.
a cross-sectional study of healthcare workers was undertaken
online by the researchers
HCWs linked with 25 US medical centers were asked to
complete an online survey by the researchers, who did so from
May 1 to May 31, 2020. A geographic mapping tool for COVID-
19 transmission data was used to choose hospitals in states with
high rates of transmission. The Yale Institutional Review Board
gave its blessing to the research, and all participants signed a
consent form to be a part of it. Cross-sectional studies in this
publication were reported in accordance with the STROBE
reporting guideline, which was used to strengthen the reporting
of such studies. A majority of the 1,092 participants were
20. female, 51.9 percent were frontline workers, and the average
age was 40.4.
Important mental health outcomes with excellent psychometric
qualities were included in the study. PHQ-9 is used to evaluate
the signs and symptoms of medical disease.
There were 13.9 percent, 15.6%, 22.88%, and 42.88% of those
surveyed who had likely MD, GAD, PTSD, and AUD; The need
for additional social support was found to be related with
significantly higher probabilities of likely MD, GAD, PTSD,
and AUD in the multivariable adjusted models.
The study found that Mental health disorders are common
among front-line health care workers, and hence therapies like
social support, active listening, psychological counseling, sleep
hygiene, and mindfulness techniques are necessary.
In particular, the study's prevalence estimates may not be
generalizable given the convenience sample's small size and
lack of representativeness.
Resilience-building psychological and social support resources
may be available to US healthcare workers, according to the
findings of this study. Findings from this study will aid in
developing ways to better care for those on the frontlines of any
future pandemic outbreaks.
Health care professionals' psychological well-being can be
improved by targeted interventions based on these findings
during disease epidemics.

arranging for a visit to a mental health expert could help front-
line HCWs deal with mental health issues amid Covid 19.
literature was searched in the Medline, PubMed, and Google
Scholar databases
Nurses were the most prevalent study participants, followed by
doctors. Up till April 7, 2020, a total of 127 articles were
gathered. Only 37 publications were identified to be eligible for
consideration in the study. The majority of the studies were
about SARS. The bulk of them were cross-sectional (24), with
the majority of them using questionnaire surveys (including
22. internet surveys) (20) and a few using interviews. The study's
sample size varied depending on the study's design and context.
For example, online survey-based research had a large sample
size (ranging from 333 to 1557 participants), but hospital -based
surveys had a sample size ranging from 148 to 333 participants.
According to the literature, a considerable proportion of HCWs
suffer from mental health difficulties, including diagnosable
mental health disorders, during pandemics. Emotional distress is
likely in 29% of the population, and in 45% of nurses.
The study discovered that applying lessons learned from earlier
pandemics and other nations that have effectively combated
COVID-19 and acting on them could significantly reduce the
psychological impact of COVID-19 among HCWs.
Using online survey is associated with some such as self-
selection bias; this risk was mitigated by employing an
exceptionally large sample from a local location.
More research is needed, particularly from low and middle-
income countries like India, to devise treatments that are
customized to the needs of HCWs.
This study supports my picot by illustrating how the COVID-19
pandemic's mental health implications can be reduced through
making mental health resource materials available, providing
training in stress management arranging for confidential
telephonic calls/online counseling.
