Knowing that clients might react negatively to your work with them may cause anxiety, frustration, and even anger. It is inevitable that you will work with a client who expresses anger or disappointment over working with you. This does happen in the social work field and is to be expected over time. Understanding how you might react to allegations of incompetence or anger over incomplete goals is essential to managing this type of exchange. While a negative interaction may be justified if either person did not fulfill responsibilities, often it is a result of the client’s personal reaction to the situation. The best response is to use these interactions to build the therapeutic bond and to assist clients in learning more about themselves. Stepping back to analyze why the client is reacting and addressing the concern will help you and the client learn from the experience.
For this Discussion, review the program case study for the Petrakis family.
Post
a description of ways, as Helen’s social worker, you might address Helen’s anger and accusations against you. How might you feel at that moment, and how would you maintain a professional demeanor? Finally, how might you use self-disclosure as a strategy in working with Helen?
Support your posts with specific references to the Learning Resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.
The Petrakis Family
Helen Petrakis is a 52-year-old heterosexual married female of Greek descent who says that she feels overwhelmed and “blue.” She came to our agency at the suggestion of a close friend who thought Helen would benefit from having a person who could listen. Although she is uncomfortable talking about her life with a stranger, Helen said that she decided to come for therapy because she worries about burdening friends with her troubles. Helen and I have met four times, twice per month, for individual therapy in 50-minute sessions. Helen consistently appears well-groomed. She speaks clearly and in moderate tones and seems to have linear thought progression; her memory seems intact. She claims no history of drug or alcohol abuse, and she does not identify a history of trauma. Helen says that other than chronic back pain from an old injury, which she manages with acetaminophen as needed, she is in good health. Helen has worked full time at a hospital in the billing department since graduating from high school. Her husband, John (60), works full time managing a grocery store and earns the larger portion of the family income. She and John live with their three adult children in a 4-bedroom house. Helen voices a great deal of pride in the children. Alec, 27, is currently unemployed, which Helen attributes to the poor economy. Dmitra, 23, whom Helen describes as smart, beautiful, and hardworking, works as a sales consultant for a local department store. Athina, 18, is an honors student at a local college and earns spending money as a hostess in a family friend’s restaurant; He ...

A quality management system is only as effective as management’s ded.docxJospehStull43
A quality management system is only as effective as management’s dedication and insistence to adherence and accountability. Documentation and audit schedules aren’t enough. The system will only be as effective as the people in the organization and the investment in training, inspiring and leading employees as they take responsibility for the system’s operation and results.
The explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig on April 20th, 2010 ranks as the biggest manmade environmental disaster in US history. The explosion killed 11 on-board workers, and discharged 4 million barrels of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, before the leak was sealed on July 15th 2010. On top of widespread damage to Gulf marine wildlife and tourism industries, BP faced a slew of lawsuits, and forked out over $4.5 billion in fines and payments.
The overarching cause was a quality management failure. Contractors did not test the weak cement around the oil well, which failed to contain hydrocarbons within the reservoir and allowed flammable gas and liquids to flow up the production casing. Technicians misinterpreted fluid pressure tests, and gas passed through the ventilation system into the engine room, paving the way for ignition. After the explosion, the oil rig’s blow-out preventer located on the sea-bed failed to activate and seal the well.
Three corporations were implicated: BP for the flawed well design, Transocean as the owners of the rig, and Halliburton as the contractor who provided the bungled cements.
Question.
1. How will you ensure an efficient and effective quality management processes and procedures in you projects If you were working at BP. Relate all submissions to the case.

A Nurse’s Role in the Systems Development Life CycleWhile the proc.docxJospehStull43
A Nurse’s Role in the Systems Development Life Cycle
While the process of developing and implementing a health information technology system may seem overwhelming at first, the systems development life cycle (SDLC) provides organizations with a framework to deliver efficient and effective information systems. Though the SDLC is a common overarching structure for implementing information systems, it is not a one-size-fits-all process. In fact, there are a multitude of approaches that can be used to guide the systems development life cycle. The SDLC approach that is most appropriate for a particular organization will be highly contextual and subject to organization-specific differences.
This week prompts you to analyze the process of selecting an appropriate health information technology and then evaluate techniques that positively impact the steps of the systems development life cycle in an EHR implementation. You also determine what barriers might occur at each stage and how these could be overcome.

The library has over 100 art works and the latest digital application features including a media lab. The library also has an open concept lobby complete with food stations and seating areas for the public. The building also has the latest in sustainable smart building technology.
Green building
(also known as
green construction
or
sustainable building
) refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are
environmentally responsible
and
resource-efficient
throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
[1]
In other words, green building design involves finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment
Write a media advisory for the official opening of the building. Second write a press release announcing the new library that will be released on the day of the opening and thirdly write a pitch letter to the media encouraging them to do a feature story about the library in advance of the opening. Be sure to identify the reporter and outlet you wish to pitch to.
Think carefully why you have chosen that media outlet and reporter and why your pitch is appropriate for that reporter. Remember to think about what is newsworthy.

A mass-casualty incident (MCI) creates a uniquely challenging manage.docxJospehStull43
A mass-casualty incident (MCI) creates a uniquely challenging management and coordination quagmire. These events can occur as a result of natural disasters, such as a tsunami, earthquake, or hurricane; they can be a result of an accident, such as a ferry sinking during inclement weather; or they can result from an act of violence, such as a terrorist attack like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing or the attacks of September 11, 2001. In any case, these attacks present a unique challenge to law enforcement, emergency response teams, and government oversight.
As you explore the different methods used to deal with MCIs, as well as the different governmental agencies that may be involved, consider the following:
Assignment Guidelines
In 6-7 paragraphs, address the following:
What federal and state agencies are required to deal with an MCI resulting from a terrorist attack? Why?
How do you distinguish between federal and state authorities for both operational and management functions? Explain.
How do you ensure a fusion of effort between federal and state authorities? Explain.
MCIs resulting from terrorist attacks are considered the purview of law enforcement. This creates a challenge during multijurisdictional MCIs. During MCIs resulting from domestic terrorism, such as the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, what law enforcement agency should have primary jurisdiction? Why?
How should federal law enforcement engage state and local law enforcement for support? Why?
Treating long-term physical and mental health effects following any MCI can prove costly to state governments. How should the federal government work with states to ensure that proper medical and mental health is provided? Explain.
What federal and state organizations should be responsible for these efforts? Why?

A good interviewer uses interview methodologies and techniques that .docxJospehStull43
A good interviewer uses interview methodologies and techniques that not only help him or her build rapport with the interviewee but also drive the interview in a favorable direction. This assignment tests your understanding of various interview methodologies. It also focuses on the components of statement analysis—an important skill that helps detect deceit in an interviewee's statements.
Tasks:
Using the Argosy University online library resources, prepare a 4- to 5-slide, APA-formatted Microsoft PowerPoint presentation that includes responses to Part 1 and Part 2.
Part 1
Use scholarly sources to compare any two of the following interviewing methodologies:
Structural interviews
Inferential interviews
Behavioral interviews
Cognitive interviews
Clearly define each methodology chosen and examine in what situations it may be appropriate.
Part 2
Explore the components of statement analysis—a complex skill that can help you determine the level of deception in a witness's or a suspect's statement. Identifying deception leads one to dig deeper, investigate further, and ask more, often difficult, direct questions.
Instructions

A new University library will open next month at NYU. The $100 mil.docxJospehStull43
A new University library will open next month at NYU. The $100 million building is an eight story wonder of glass and steel designed by world renowned architect Frank Ghery. The library has over 100 art works and the latest digital application features including a media lab. The library also has an open concept lobby complete with food stations and seating areas for the public. The building also has the latest in sustainable smart building technology.
Green building
(also known as
green construction
or
sustainable building
) refers to both a structure and the using of processes that are
environmentally responsible
and
resource-efficient
throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition.
[1]
In other words, green building design involves finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment
Write a media advisory for the official opening of the building. Second write a press release announcing the new library that will be released on the day of the opening and thirdly write a pitch letter to the media encouraging them to do a feature story about the library in advance of the opening. Be sure to identify the reporter and outlet you wish to pitch to.
Think carefully why you have chosen that media outlet and reporter and why your pitch is appropriate for that reporter. Remember to think about what is newsworthy.

A mass-casualty incident (MCI) creates a uniquely challenging manage.docxJospehStull43
A mass-casualty incident (MCI) creates a uniquely challenging management and coordination quagmire. These events can occur as a result of natural disasters, such as a tsunami, earthquake, or hurricane; they can be a result of an accident, such as a ferry sinking during inclement weather; or they can result from an act of violence, such as a terrorist attack like the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing or the attacks of September 11, 2001. In any case, these attacks present a unique challenge to law enforcement, emergency response teams, and government oversight.
As you explore the different methods used to deal with MCIs, as well as the different governmental agencies that may be involved, consider the following:
Assignment Guidelines
In 6-7 paragraphs, address the following:
What federal and state agencies are required to deal with an MCI resulting from a terrorist attack? Why?
How do you distinguish between federal and state authorities for both operational and management functions? Explain.
How do you ensure a fusion of effort between federal and state authorities? Explain.
MCIs resulting from terrorist attacks are considered the purview of law enforcement. This creates a challenge during multijurisdictional MCIs. During MCIs resulting from domestic terrorism, such as the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, what law enforcement agency should have primary jurisdiction? Why?
How should federal law enforcement engage state and local law enforcement for support? Why?
Treating long-term physical and mental health effects following any MCI can prove costly to state governments. How should the federal government work with states to ensure that proper medical and mental health is provided? Explain.
What federal and state organizations should be responsible for these efforts? Why?

1. Knowing that clients might react negatively to your work with
them may cause anxiety, frustration, and even anger. It is
inevitable that you will work with a client who expresses anger
or disappointment over working with you. This does happen in
the social work field and is to be expected over time.
Understanding how you might react to allegations of
incompetence or anger over incomplete goals is essential to
managing this type of exchange. While a negative interaction
may be justified if either person did not fulfill responsibilities,
often it is a result of the client’s personal reaction to the
situation. The best response is to use these interactions to build
the therapeutic bond and to assist clients in learning more about
themselves. Stepping back to analyze why the client is reacting
and addressing the concern will help you and the client learn
from the experience.
For this Discussion, review the program case study for the
Petrakis family.

Support your posts with specific references to the Learning
Resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your

2. The Petrakis Family
Helen Petrakis is a 52-year-old heterosexual married female of
Greek descent who says that she feels overwhelmed and “blue.”
She came to our agency at the suggestion of a close friend who
thought Helen would benefit from having a person who could
listen. Although she is uncomfortable talking about her life with
a stranger, Helen said that she decided to come for therapy
because she worries about burdening friends with her troubles.
Helen and I have met four times, twice per month, for
individual therapy in 50-minute sessions. Helen consistently
appears well-groomed. She speaks clearly and in moderate tones
and seems to have linear thought progression; her memory
seems intact. She claims no history of drug or alcohol abuse,
and she does not identify a history of trauma. Helen says that
other than chronic back pain from an old injury, which she
manages with acetaminophen as needed, she is in good health.
Helen has worked full time at a hospital in the billing
department since graduating from high school. Her husband,
John (60), works full time managing a grocery store and earns
the larger portion of the family income. She and John li ve with
their three adult children in a 4-bedroom house. Helen voices a
great deal of pride in the children. Alec, 27, is currently
unemployed, which Helen attributes to the poor economy.
Dmitra, 23, whom Helen describes as smart, beautiful, and
hardworking, works as a sales consultant for a local department
store. Athina, 18, is an honors student at a local college and
earns spending money as a hostess in a family friend’s
restaurant; Helen describes her as adorable and reliable. In our
first session, I explained to Helen that I was an advanced year
intern completing my second field placement at the agency. I
told her I worked closely with my field supervisor to provide
3. the best care possible. She said that was fine, congratulated me
on advancing my career, and then began talking. I listened for
the reasons Helen came to speak with me. I asked Helen about
her community, which, she explained, centered on the activities
of the Greek Orthodox Church. She and John were married in
that church and attend services weekly. She expects that her
children will also eventually wed there. Her children, she
explained, are religious but do not regularly go to church
because they are very busy. She believes that the children are
too busy to be expected to help around the house. Helen shops,
cooks, and cleans for the family, and John sees to yard care and
maintains the family’s cars. When I asked whether the children
contributed to the finances of the home, Helen looked shocked
and said that John would find it deeply insulting to take money
from his children. As Helen described her life, I surmised that
the Petrakis family holds strong family bonds within a large and
supportive community. Helen is responsible for the care of
John’s 81-year-old widowed mother, Magda, who lives in an
apartment 30 minutes away. Until recently, Magda was self-
sufficient, coming for weekly family dinners and driving herself
shopping and to church. But 6 months ago, she fell and broke
her hip and was also recently diagnosed with early signs of
dementia. Through their church, Helen and John hired a reliable
and trusted woman to check in on Magda a couple of days each
week. Helen goes to see Magda on the other days, sometimes
twice in one day, depending on Magda’s needs. She buys her
food, cleans her home, pays her bills, and keeps track of her
medications. Helen says she would like to have the helper come
in more often, but she cannot afford it. The money to pay for
help is coming out of the couple’s vacations savings. Caring for
Magda makes Helen feel as if she is failing as a wife and
mother because she no longer has time to spend with her
husband and children. Helen sounded angry as she described the
amount of time she gave toward Magda’s care. She has stopped
going shopping and out to eat with friends because she can no
longer find the time. Lately, John has expressed displeasure
4. with meals at home, as Helen has been cooking less often and
brings home takeout. She sounded defeated when she described
an incident in which her son, Alec, expressed disappointment in
her because she could not provide him with clean laundry.
When she cried in response, he offered to help care for his
grandmother. Alec proposed moving in with Magda. Helen
wondered if asking Alec to stay with his grandmother might be
good for all of them. John and Alec had been arguing lately, and
Alec and his grandmother had always been very fond of each
other. Helen thought she could offer Alec the money she gave
Magda’s helper. I responded that I thought Helen and Alec were
using creative problem solving and utilizing their resources well
in crafting a plan. I said that Helen seemed to find good
solutions within her family and culture. Helen appeared
concerned as I said this, and I surmised that she was reluctant to
impose on her son because she and her husband ed to value
providing for their children’s needs rather than expecting them
to contribute resources. Helen ended the session agreeing to
consider the solution we discussed to ease the stress of caring
for Magda.
In our second session, Helen said that her son again mentioned
that he saw how overwhelmed she was and wanted to help care
for Magda. While Helen was not sure this was the best idea, she
saw how it might be helpful for a short time. Nonetheless, her
instincts were still telling her that this could be a bad plan.
Helen worried about changing the arrangements as they were
and seemed reluctant to step away from her integral role in
Magda’s care, despite the pain it was causing her. In this
session, I helped Helen begin to explore her feelings and
assumptions about her role as a caretaker in the family. Helen
did not seem able to identify her expectations of herself as a
caretaker. She did, however, resolve her ambivalence about
Alec’s offer to care for Magda. By the end of the session, Helen
agreed to have Alec live with his grandmother. In our third
session, Helen briskly walked into the room and announced that
5. Alec had moved in with Magda and it was a disaster. Since the
move, Helen had had to be at the apartment at least once daily
to intervene with emergencies. Magda called Helen at work the
day after Alec moved in to ask Helen to pick up a refill of her
medications at the pharmacy. Helen asked to speak to Alec, and
Magda said he had gone out with two friends the night before
and had not come home yet. Helen left work immediately and
drove to Magda’s home. Helen angrily told me that she assumed
that Magda misplaced the medications, but then she began to
cry and said that the medications were not misplaced, they were
really gone. When she searched the apartment, Helen noticed
that the cash box was empty and that Magda’s checkbook was
missing two checks. Helen determined that Magda was robbed,
but because she did not want to frighten her, she decided not to
report the crime. Instead, Helen phoned the pharmacy and
explained that her mother-in-law, suffering from dementia, had
accidently destroyed her medication and would need refills. She
called Magda’s bank and learned that the checks had been
cashed. Helen cooked lunch for her motherin-law and ate it with
her. When a tired and disheveled Alec arrived back in the
apartment, Helen quietly told her son about the robbery and
reinforced the importance of remaining in the building with
Magda at night. Helen said that the events in Magda’s apartment
were repeated 2 days later. By this time in the session Helen
was furious. With her face red with rage and her hands shaking,
she told me that all this was my fault for suggesting that Alec’s
presence in the apartment would benefit the family. Jewel ry
from Greece, which had been in the family for generations, was
now gone. Alec would never be in this trouble if I had not told
Helen he should be permitted to live with his grandmother.
Helen said she should know better than to talk to a stranger
about private matters. Helen cried, and as I sat and listened to
her sobs, I was not sure whether to let her cry, give her a tissue,
or interrupt her. As the session was nearing the end, Helen
quickly told me that Alec has struggled with maintaining
sobriety since he was a teen. He is currently on 2 years’
6. probation for possession and had recently completed a
rehabilitation program. Helen said she now realized Alec was
stealing from his grandmother to support his drug habit. She
could not possibly tell her husband because he would hurt and
humiliate Alec, and she would not consider telling the police.
Helen’s solution was to remove the valuables and medications
from the apartment and to visit twice a day to bring supplies
and medicine and check on Alec and Magda. After this session,
it was unclear how to proceed with Helen. I asked my field
instructor for help. I explained that I had offered support for a
possible solution to Helen’s difficulties and stress. In rereading
the progress notes in Helen’s chart, I realized I had
misinterpreted Helen’s reluctance to ask Alec to move in with
his grandmother. I felt terrible about pushing Helen into acting
outside of her own instincts. My field instructor reminded me
that I had not forced Helen to act as she had and that no one was
responsible for the actions of another person. She told me that
beginning social workers do make mistakes and that my errors
were part of a learning process and were not irreparable. I was
reminded that advising Helen, or any client, is ill-advised. My
field instructor expressed concern about my ethical and legal
obligations to protect Magda. She suggested that I call the
county office on aging and adult services to research my duty to
report, and to speak to the agency director about my ethical and
legal obligations in this case. In our fourth session, Helen
apologized for missing a previous appointment with me. She
said she awoke the morning of the appointment with tightness in
her chest and a feeling that her heart was racing. John drove
Helen to the emergency room at the hospital in which she
works. By the time Helen got to the hospital, she could not
catch her breath and thought she might pass out. The hospital
ran tests but found no conclusive organic reason to explain
Helen’s symptoms. I asked Helen how she felt now. She said
that since her visit to the hospital, she continues to experience
shortness of breath, usually in the morning when she is getting
ready to begin her day. She said she has trouble staying asleep,
7. waking two to four times each night, and she feels tired during
the day. Working is hard because she is more forgetful than she
has ever been. Her back is giving her trouble, too. Helen said
that she feels like her body is one big tired knot. I suggested
that her symptoms could indicate anxiety and she might want to
consider seeing a psychiatrist for an evaluation. I told Helen it
would make sense, given the pressures in her life, that she felt
anxiety. I said that she and I could develop a treatment plan to
help her address the anxiety. Helen’s therapy goals include
removing Alec from Magda’s apartment and speaking to John
about a safe and supported living arrangement for Magda.
