Respond to 8 students - due in 2 hours - 50 words each - I have put a guided response for each set to help with the response:
Guided Response:
Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two classmates. Offer an additional example of how development of the age groups your classmates selected influence curriculum decisions.
Student 1: Tracie:
The age group I chose is 3-5 years of age. The physical development of children in this age group is movement and coordination which can also influence the curriculum. During this time, children’s’ brains are like sponges. They are watching and learning everything in their environment. This age group brings a “wide variety of experiences to the preschool setting, which should serve to inform curricular decisions (Jaruszewicz, 2013). The social and emotional aspect of this age group is that of caring, understanding and many more. Three to five-year old’s need the aptness to proceed around and we as teachers should promote physical development. A great way of doing this is consistently doing active play inside and also outside of the classroom. Teachers should label bins and shelves that have objects such as toys and the areas they are playing/ working in. The children will be able to independently pick them up and return them as they play. Incorporate games in the curriculum that lets them move free and easily within the game.
Cognitive aspect of a 3-5-year-old is that their brain functions are learning things on a daily base to help the child. In the newsletter by Paraskevopoulou it was written: “Curriculums that include topics such as appropriate scheduling, creating a developmentally appropriate classroom, and making the most of learning centers, will help create a classroom environment that actively engages the child and keeps his or her attention. When implemented in the classroom, these components contribute to less discipline problems and a smoother day” (Paraskevopoulou, F, (2008).
The key to successful learning, especially for children ages 3-5, you must have a classroom environment that’s design especially for them. The environment should be one where they able to move around freely with no obstacles in their way. The curriculum must be on the preschool level for the students to understand.

Introduction
In order to fully understand student development, one must first understand a
child’s cognitive development. Cognitive theorist, Jean Piaget, is perhaps the most
influential researcher on child development. Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory
states that, “children actively construct knowledge as they manipulate and explore their
world” (Berk, 2013, p. 18). In his cognitive development theory, Piaget breaks down the
development into four stages: sensorimotor (birth-2 years), preoperational (2-7 years),
concrete operational (7-11 years), and formal operational (11 + years). It is important to
note that while Piaget heavily influenced research on child development, his theory has
the field divided (Berk, 2013). Another researcher of human development, Lev
2
Vygotsky, focused on sociocultural theory and how culture; the values, beliefs, customs,
and skills of a social group, is transmitted to the next generation and how these factors
also affect a child’s development (Berk, 2013). While Vygotsky agreed with Piaget that
children are active, constructive beings, Vygotsky viewed “cognitive development as a
socially mediated process, in which children depend on assistance from adults and more-
expert peers as they tackle new challenges” (Berk, 2013, p. 23). A third researcher in the
field, Urie Bronfenbrenner, developed the ecological systems theory, which views the
person “as developing within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple
levels of the surrounding environment” (Berk, 2013, p. 24). His theory is broken into
four systems: the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, and the marcosystem.
All of this is to say, it is not simply enough to know one theory and believe we
have sufficient information to be successful educators in student’s lives. Therefore, as
practicing educators and counselors, we must stay abreast of all child development
theories so we may better serve our students’ needs.

The preschoolers in Ms. Mimi’s classroom are very busy throughout the day, work-
ing on emerging pretend-play skills, turn taking, conflict management, phonologi-
cal awareness, math knowledge, and other academic, behavioral, and social skills.
Ms. Mimi knows that young children’s readiness for school comes with increased
expectations for academic skills, but she worries that her preschoolers are not get-
ting enough experience with social skill building. When her supervisor comes for a
visit, Ms. Mimi shares her concern that she may not be meeting her preschoolers’
social needs. She says, “Some days I find myself worrying so much about teach-
ing literacy, numeracy, and all the other academic skills that I wonder if the children
have enough opportunities to learn how to get along with each other.”
Ms. Mimi’s concern is an impor-
tant one. Young children’s “readiness
for school” has taken center stage for
educators and policy makers, while
their social development, a power-
ful predictor of school adjustment,
emotional development—discuss the
significant role of social emotional
development in children’s readiness
for success in school. These studies
identify a number of social emotional
skills and abilities that help new kin-
dergartners be successful:
• confidence,
• the ability to develop good relation-
ships with peers,
• concentrating on and persisting with
challenging tasks,
• attending and listening to
instructions,
• being able to solve social problems,
and
• effectively communicate emotions.
The absence of positive social inter-
actions in childhood is linked to nega-
tive consequences later in life, such
as withdrawal, loneliness, depression,
and feelings of anxiety. In addition,
low acceptance by peers in the early
years is a predictor of grade retention,
school dropout, and mental health
and behavior problems (Ladd 1999).

Section 15.1Preschool: Giving Children a Head Start?
Prologue
In response to a prompt in a recent class, Akira, a young college student, related how our
everyday experiences with peers and in activities can deeply affect how we develop:
In the world that technology has taken over our communications, I usually
feel lonely. Yesterday I was in a room with my group of friends. Every one
of us was on the phone, either texting or on social media. It was really bad.
There were no words tossing around the room, it was just complete silence.
There were so many opportunities to connect to the people next to you, yet
people were on their phones for no reason. Then, I thought about loneliness
as I looked around the room. Being on the phone is a way to isolate us from
the community. We might have hundreds of friends on social media, but how
many REAL friends do we have? I think we become more lonely when we get
into our phones. At least, I do. I feel sad that we are missing out on living in
the moment. It happens whether we are in a room by ourselves or in a room
full of people. Whenever my partner is on the phone—not even talking—for
a long period of time, I get lonely to the point that I feel like I am not loved or
I cannot talk about my concerns. He is right next to me, and there is complete
silence for hours. What can we do in those few hours without being on the
phone? He didn’t have a phone when we met. We were totally different back
then compared to how we are today. I get really sad when I think how com-
munication has changed.
Akira’s poignant response reveals to us how individual circumstances can have a profound
effect on development for some, and have little effect for others. It also reminds us that we are
all affected by the ways in which technology has transformed social interaction, among young
people especially. Just as the advancement of automobiles and the telephone transformed
social networks during the 20th century, the Information Age is no doubt affecting part of
the foundation of psychosocial growth for today’s generation of children. As this final module
explains, these developments are an extension ...

CLASSROOM INTRODUCTION MARCH 12, 2018
Preschool Center
Academic Lessons
Differentiation is when a teacher tailors
lessons to the individual student.
In our classroom lessons will be given in a
variety of ways. Many will be introduced in a
large group setting, and all lessons will be
reinforced with individual lessons using
differentiated strategies tailored to your child’s
particular needs. Afterwards, students will
practice their lessons individually or in small
groups. The groups will have members that
will enhance learning for everyone. This means
that the groups may have an advanced student
to help others better understand the concepts
presented using age-related vocabulary, or that
groups may have a struggling student that will
be mentored by peers. In this way the children
have a chance to become both student and
teacher at various times. This method is a
proven way to advance knowledge, raise self-
esteem, and increase social skills.
Differentiation can be as varied as the students
themselves. Educators must be creative,
innovative, and compassionate to these
differences when planning routines and lessons
for students.
“Flexible groupings gives teachers the means
to balance instructional demands with
student needs” (Puckett, 2013, Flexible
Grouping, para. 1).
Expectations
Recognizing that young children are active with
a need to move and talk while learning leads to
creating activities to teach specific concepts
wit.
Learning
Learning can be defined in many ways, but most psychologists would agree that it is a relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience. During the first half of the twentieth century, the school of thought known as behaviorism rose to dominate psychology and sought to explain the learning process.
The three major types of learning described by behavioral psychology are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism was the school of thought in psychology that sought to measure only observable behaviors.
Founded by John B. Watson and outlined in his seminal 1913 paper Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It, the behaviorist standpoint held that psychology was an experimental and objective science and that internal mental processes should not be considered because they could not be directly observed and measured.
Watson's work included the famous Little Albert experiment in which he conditioned a small child to fear a white rat. Behaviorism dominated psychology for much of the early twentieth century. While behavioral approaches remain important today, the latter part of the century was marked by the emergence of humanistic psychology, biological psychology, and cognitive psychology.Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is a learning process in which an association is made between a previously neutral stimulus and a stimulus that naturally evokes a response.
For example, in Pavlov's classic experiment, the smell of food was the naturally occurring stimulus that was paired with the previously neutral ringing of the bell. Once an association had been made between the two, the sound of the bell alone could lead to a response.
How Classical Conditioning Works
Operant Conditioning
Operant conditioning is a learning process in which the probability of a response occurring is increased or decreased due to reinforcement or punishment. First studied by Edward Thorndike and later by B.F. Skinner, the underlying idea behind operant conditioning is that the consequences of our actions shape voluntary behavior.
Skinner described how reinforcement could lead to increases in behaviors where punishment would result in decreases. He also found that the timing of when reinforcements were delivered influenced how quickly a behavior was learned and how strong the response would be. The timing and rate of reinforcement are known as schedules of reinforcement.
How Operant Conditioning Works
Observational Learning
Observational learning is a process in which learning occurs through observing and imitating others. Albert Bandura's social learning theory suggests that in addition to learning through conditioning, people also learn through observing and imitating the actions of others.As demonstrated in his classic "Bobo Doll" experiments, people will imitate the actions of others without direct reinforcement. Four important elements are essential for effective observational

Learning during this observation will take place through two main activities; through teaching and testing the children while in the classroom setting and through interacting with the children casually to study their behavior mainly through play. The three main theories behind this are behaviorism, cognitive and social theories Behaviorism will consist of keenly studying the children as they are in the classroom setting. Their behavior is observed and comments given based on what is studied. As for the cognitive theory, this will apply when tests and teaching will be conducted as the children’s capability will be tested. As for the social theory, children will be observed as they interact with their teachers and other children. Their ability to perform when in groups will be assessed in this case.

DISCUSSION
Discuss how Plato's four cardinal virtues might help make our society better if practiced by all members.(100 WORDS)
REFLECTION
Compare the plight of the people who live in Plato's cave with the uneducated people of our world. You may use any type of education that you think the uneducated people of our world are missing out on and how it might help them change their beliefs about certain things. Keep in mind that the people in Plato's cave were chained there - against their will - does this have a parallel with today's uneducated population? Should people outside the cave have made a greater effort to go inside the cave to enlighten their fellow humans? If so, how?(250 WORDS)

Discussion1 : Racism and Privilege
In many societies certain groups possess more resources and hold more power than other groups. In some of these societies, racial discrimination and racial tension also exist. While members of the societies may openly acknowledge that unequal distribution of power and racism are present in their society, many fail to examine the complex relationships between privilege and racism. Social workers must understand this complex relationship so they can educate and empower their clients. Empowerment is the cornerstone of social work practice
.
In the book
Black Empowerment,
the author,Barbara Solomon, writes, "Empowerment refers to a process whereby persons who belong to a stigmatized social category throughout their lives can be assisted to develop and increase skills in the exercise of interpersonal influence and the performance of valued social roles" (p. 6).
Empowerment practice is based on a collaborative relationship between worker and client, initiated to promote the client's power through self-actualization, self-determination, and the fulfillment of personal goals (Gutierrez, Parsons, & Cox, 1998). Further, this process includes increasing your clients' awareness of the structural oppression that exists and its impact on them. It is the role of social workers to empower clients and to bring about awareness of the inequalities that exist in society. This is done two fold—through work with clients on the micro and mezzo levels and on a macro level through work in organizations and communities.
Social workers cannot effectively empower clients without first understanding the mechanisms of oppression and how they impact their day-to-day work. Then social workers can recognize the impact on their clients' lives and apply the appropriate skills.

The preschoolers in Ms. Mimi’s classroom are very busy throughout the day, work-
ing on emerging pretend-play skills, turn taking, conflict management, phonologi-
cal awareness, math knowledge, and other academic, behavioral, and social skills.
Ms. Mimi knows that young children’s readiness for school comes with increased
expectations for academic skills, but she worries that her preschoolers are not get-
ting enough experience with social skill building. When her supervisor comes for a
visit, Ms. Mimi shares her concern that she may not be meeting her preschoolers’
social needs. She says, “Some days I find myself worrying so much about teach-
ing literacy, numeracy, and all the other academic skills that I wonder if the children
have enough opportunities to learn how to get along with each other.”
Ms. Mimi’s concern is an impor-
tant one. Young children’s “readiness
for school” has taken center stage for
educators and policy makers, while
their social development, a power-
ful predictor of school adjustment,
emotional development—discuss the
significant role of social emotional
development in children’s readiness
for success in school. These studies
identify a number of social emotional
skills and abilities that help new kin-
dergartners be successful:
• confidence,
• the ability to develop good relation-
ships with peers,
• concentrating on and persisting with
challenging tasks,
• attending and listening to
instructions,
• being able to solve social problems,
and
• effectively communicate emotions.
The absence of positive social inter-
actions in childhood is linked to nega-
tive consequences later in life, such
as withdrawal, loneliness, depression,
and feelings of anxiety. In addition,
low acceptance by peers in the early
years is a predictor of grade retention,
school dropout, and mental health
and behavior problems (Ladd 1999).

Section 15.1Preschool: Giving Children a Head Start?
Prologue
In response to a prompt in a recent class, Akira, a young college student, related how our
everyday experiences with peers and in activities can deeply affect how we develop:
In the world that technology has taken over our communications, I usually
feel lonely. Yesterday I was in a room with my group of friends. Every one
of us was on the phone, either texting or on social media. It was really bad.
There were no words tossing around the room, it was just complete silence.
There were so many opportunities to connect to the people next to you, yet
people were on their phones for no reason. Then, I thought about loneliness
as I looked around the room. Being on the phone is a way to isolate us from
the community. We might have hundreds of friends on social media, but how
many REAL friends do we have? I think we become more lonely when we get
into our phones. At least, I do. I feel sad that we are missing out on living in
the moment. It happens whether we are in a room by ourselves or in a room
full of people. Whenever my partner is on the phone—not even talking—for
a long period of time, I get lonely to the point that I feel like I am not loved or
I cannot talk about my concerns. He is right next to me, and there is complete
silence for hours. What can we do in those few hours without being on the
phone? He didn’t have a phone when we met. We were totally different back
then compared to how we are today. I get really sad when I think how com-
munication has changed.
Akira’s poignant response reveals to us how individual circumstances can have a profound
effect on development for some, and have little effect for others. It also reminds us that we are
all affected by the ways in which technology has transformed social interaction, among young
people especially. Just as the advancement of automobiles and the telephone transformed
social networks during the 20th century, the Information Age is no doubt affecting part of
the foundation of psychosocial growth for today’s generation of children. As this final module
explains, these developments are an extension ...

Creating a Positive Learning
Environment That is Also Safe and

Children learn best when they feel safe, loved and valued.
In our classroom, the students will have plenty of time to choose their own
activities, they will help create our classroom rules, and be treated with
respect and kindness.

Opportunities
to Succeed
All of the activities
in our classroom are
designed for
success with built in
controls for errors
so students will be
able to more easily
self-evaluate their
work. At first, they
will require
guidance in the
process, but as time
goes by, they will be
able to more
independently
evaluate their own
outcomes.
This creates a
positive climate
where fear of failure
is replaced by
learning from
mistakes.
In doing, one knows.
CHOICE
Freedom to chose their
own work gives children
ownership of their
accomplishments.
Wood (2014) stated
“Children should exercise
agency, self-regulation,

CLASSROOM INTRODUCTION MARCH 12, 2018
Preschool Center
Academic Lessons
Differentiation is when a teacher tailors
lessons to the individual student.
In our classroom lessons will be given in a
variety of ways. Many will be introduced in a
large group setting, and all lessons will be
reinforced with individual lessons using
differentiated strategies tailored to your child’s
particular needs. Afterwards, students will
practice their lessons individually or in small
groups. The groups will have members that
will enhance learning for everyone. This means
that the groups may have an advanced student
to help others better understand the concepts
presented using age-related vocabulary, or that
groups may have a struggling student that will
be mentored by peers. In this way the children
have a chance to become both student and
teacher at various times. This method is a
proven way to advance knowledge, raise self-
esteem, and increase social skills.
Differentiation can be as varied as the students
themselves. Educators must be creative,
innovative, and compassionate to these
differences when planning routines and lessons
for students.
“Flexible groupings gives teachers the means
to balance instructional demands with
student needs” (Puckett, 2013, Flexible
Grouping, para. 1).
Expectations
Recognizing that young children are active with
a need to move and talk while learning leads to
creating activities to teach specific concepts
wit.
Learning
Learning can be defined in many ways, but most psychologists would agree that it is a relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience. During the first half of the twentieth century, the school of thought known as behaviorism rose to dominate psychology and sought to explain the learning process.
The three major types of learning described by behavioral psychology are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism was the school of thought in psychology that sought to measure only observable behaviors.
Founded by John B. Watson and outlined in his seminal 1913 paper Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It, the behaviorist standpoint held that psychology was an experimental and objective science and that internal mental processes should not be considered because they could not be directly observed and measured.
Watson's work included the famous Little Albert experiment in which he conditioned a small child to fear a white rat. Behaviorism dominated psychology for much of the early twentieth century. While behavioral approaches remain important today, the latter part of the century was marked by the emergence of humanistic psychology, biological psychology, and cognitive psychology.Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is a learning process in which an association is made between a previously neutral stimulus and a stimulus that naturally evokes a response.
For example, in Pavlov's classic experiment, the smell of food was the naturally occurring stimulus that was paired with the previously neutral ringing of the bell. Once an association had been made between the two, the sound of the bell alone could lead to a response.
How Classical Conditioning Works
Operant Conditioning
Operant conditioning is a learning process in which the probability of a response occurring is increased or decreased due to reinforcement or punishment. First studied by Edward Thorndike and later by B.F. Skinner, the underlying idea behind operant conditioning is that the consequences of our actions shape voluntary behavior.
Skinner described how reinforcement could lead to increases in behaviors where punishment would result in decreases. He also found that the timing of when reinforcements were delivered influenced how quickly a behavior was learned and how strong the response would be. The timing and rate of reinforcement are known as schedules of reinforcement.
How Operant Conditioning Works
Observational Learning
Observational learning is a process in which learning occurs through observing and imitating others. Albert Bandura's social learning theory suggests that in addition to learning through conditioning, people also learn through observing and imitating the actions of others.As demonstrated in his classic "Bobo Doll" experiments, people will imitate the actions of others without direct reinforcement. Four important elements are essential for effective observational

Learning during this observation will take place through two main activities; through teaching and testing the children while in the classroom setting and through interacting with the children casually to study their behavior mainly through play. The three main theories behind this are behaviorism, cognitive and social theories Behaviorism will consist of keenly studying the children as they are in the classroom setting. Their behavior is observed and comments given based on what is studied. As for the cognitive theory, this will apply when tests and teaching will be conducted as the children’s capability will be tested. As for the social theory, children will be observed as they interact with their teachers and other children. Their ability to perform when in groups will be assessed in this case.

Discussion: Workflow Modeling
Workflow modeling is widely used throughout many different types of businesses, including health care organizations, to visually summarize the steps of complex processes and systems. When constructing a workflow model, it is important to ensure that the model accurately reflects the actual steps in a process.
In this Discussion, you consider a case study of a health care clinic and its process for ordering medical supplies. You then examine a workflow model that is meant to reflect that process and analyze the model’s accuracy based on the information in the case study. You also analyze the importance of accurate workflow modeling and consider strategies for creating accurate workflow models for health care processes.
Case Study:
Deerborne Dialysis is a local dialysis clinic that is part of a larger health care network, Buckeye Health. Buckeye Health executives have recently been examining the processes by which organizations within the network manage their supplies. Deerborne Dialysis was identified as an exemplary model of efficient supply management, and Buckeye Health executives have requested a workflow model of how Deerborne Dialysis handles their supply management process.
Sharon is the nurse who oversees the process of ordering and stocking supplies for Deerborne Dialysis. She knows the process well and developed a description of the steps in the supply management process. First, Sharon conducts a daily check of the supplies in the storage room. If there is a supply that is running low, Sharon submits an order to the medical supplier. When the clinic receives the shipment, Sharon unpacks the shipment and cross-checks the supplies that were shipped with the supplies that were ordered. If there is a discrepancy, the entire shipment must be returned to the medical supplier, who then rushes a new shipment to the clinic to be received the next day. If there is no discrepancy, or once the new shipment is received, unpacked, and cross-checked, Sharon stocks the shelves in the storage room and gives the supply bill to the clinic’s accountant, who ensures that the medical supplier receives payment.
Sharon has created the following workflow model to reflect the steps she goes through to manage the clinic’s inventory of supplies:
To prepare:
Review the case study above and examine the workflow model that is meant to reflect the process described in the case study.
Identify problems with the workflow model. How could the model be revised to be more accurate, clear, and effective?
Reflect on the importance of creating an accurate workflow model of health care processes. What are the challenges involved in workflow modeling? What are the consequences of inaccurate workflow models?
Consider strategies that you can use to ensure that workflow models are effective and accurate.

Discussion Topic 5
Monopoly is nearly always seen as something undesirable. Courts have wrestled with monopoly for ages, sometimes defining it as: "the power to control prices and exclude competition", "restraining trade", or "unfair and anti-competitive behavior." Should monopolistic practices be condemned and outlawed? Briefly discuss.

Discussion 1: Title Protection and Licensure
When one pictures a doctor sitting at her office desk, it seems natural to imagine multiple diplomas on the wall nearby. The notion of doctors displaying their credentials seems indisputable when one considers the importance of professional credibility in instilling trust in patients.
Just as medical practitioners are responsible for achieving and maintaining proper licensure, so are social work professionals. Those who receive the title of “social worker” have met the criteria developed to demonstrate proficiency in meeting the demands associated with the profession.
For this Discussion, research the criteria for assuming the title of social worker in your state or country. Consider benefits offered by title protection and maintenance of licensure standards. Also think Kirst-Ashman, K. K., & Hull, G. H., Jr. (2012).
Understanding generalist practice
(6th ed.). Stamford, CT: Cengage Learning.
Chapter 3, “Practice Skills for Working with Groups” (pp. 94-126)
about the challenges that title protection and licensure standards may pose.
Post by Day 3
a description of strengths and challenges associated with title protection and licensure. Describe two strengths and two Although students of social work have not yet satisfied the criteria to earn the title of “social worker,” they are bound by the same ethical requirements as titled social workers. Social workers regularly face ethical issues of varying magnitude, and social work students may as well. Some issues seem obvious, while others may emerge in subtle ways.
For this Discussion, select one of the following scenarios. Consider the dilemma described, and imagine how you might feel if you found yourself in a similar situation. Think about the ethical obligations you would have as a social worker or social work student.
Scenario 1
You are a social worker in a public health department providing services to pregnant women. As part of your duties, you provide parenting education, support, and connection to community resources, and you follow up with the families and their newborns for six months after birth. Ms. C has been a client of yours during two pregnancies in the last three years. She has a 15 year-old, a nine year-old, a three year-old, and a newborn. On this day, you are making a routine visit to Ms. C, who lives in an older mobile hom.
Discussion Social Work CompetenceThe term competence connotes.docxmickietanger
Discussion: Social Work Competence
The term
competence
connotes a level of preparedness for addressing issues and maintaining a high standard of practice with clients. Competent social workers have completed adequate preparations for licensure, and they are appropriately credentialed. They adhere to ethical practices by maintaining professional boundaries and honoring commitments to confidentiality. How might you demonstrate your competence as a social worker? How can you recognize competence in other social workers?
For this Discussion, review this week’s Readings. Think about elements in the articles that denote competence.
Post a description of at least two criteria that define competence in social work.
Give an example of each criterion of competence and justify your selection.

Discussion The Systems Development Life Cycle and the Nurse Infor.docxmickietanger
Discussion: The Systems Development Life Cycle and the Nurse Informaticist
The systems development life cycle (SDLC) is a model for planning and implementing change within an organization. It is important for many individuals to be represented in the process, especially the end users of the system or the employees who must live with the change. As informatics become more and more widespread throughout the health care field, collaboration between information technology (IT) professionals and health care practitioners is becoming increasingly important. The nurse informaticist is able to combine the perspective of the information technology side with the clinical nursing perspective.
While the titles and specific responsibilities of nurse informaticists vary across organizations and practice settings, the fundamental purpose of the role remains the same. Nurse informaticists synthesize their knowledge of how technology can improve health care with an understanding of clinical practice and workflow. This is why nurse informaticists can be instrumental in facilitating the SDLC for informatics in health care. For this Discussion, you examine the relationship between the nurse informaticist and the use of the SDLC.
To prepare:
Review the information in this week’s Learning Resources on the SDLC and the role of the nurse informaticist. Reflect on Chapter 1 of the Dennis, Wixom, and Roth course text and consider how the information about the systems analyst role translates into nursing and health care.
Consider a recent change in your organization related to the implementation of a new technology or system. How was this change handled? What was the general SDLC process? Who was involved, and what were the outcomes?
Identify whether your organization (or one with which you are familiar) has a formal title or position for the nurse informaticist. This position may be called by a different name, such as nurse informatics specialist or informatics analyst, so be sure to review the position description.
If your organization has a position for the nurse informaticist, what are the responsibilities of that position? If your organization does not have such a position, conduct research in the Walden Library and at credible online sources on the role of the nurse informaticist.
Reflect on the role of the nurse informaticist in the overall health care field. How is this position connected to the SDLC? Assess the benefits of having this specialized position within health care organizations and involving the nurse informaticist in the SDLC.
Post by tomorrow 8/30/16 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 3 references from the list provided under Required Readings. Apply the level 1 headings as numbered below:
1) A description of how the systems development life cycle is utilized in your organization (Hospital), or in one with which you are familiar, and assess its effectiveness.

Discussion QuestionWomen have a long history of being considered i.docxmickietanger
Discussion Question
Women have a long history of being considered inferior to men. However, during the middle to the late 20th century, the women’s rights movement began to improve the plight of women in Western society by granting them access to societal positions previously held only by men.
Some people claim that women have finally achieved equality with men in the 21st century; others are not convinced.
How will you describe the status of equality between men and women in contemporary Western culture?
Do you see any major areas where women are still discriminated against on a large scale? If so, give at least two examples. If not, rationalize your views.

Discussion: Respiratory Alterations
In clinical settings, patients often present with various respiratory symptoms such as congestion, coughing, and wheezing. While identifying a symptom’s underlying illness can be challenging, it is essential because even basic symptoms such as persistent coughing can be a sign of a more severe disorder. Advanced practice nurses must be able to differentiate between moderate and severe respiratory disorders, as well as properly diagnose and prescribe treatment for their patients. For this reason, you must have an understanding of the pathophysiology of respiratory disorders.
Consider the following three scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Ms. Teel brings in her 7-month-old infant for evaluation. She is afraid that the baby might have respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) because she seems to be coughing a lot, and Ms. Teel heard that RSV is a common condition for infants. A detailed patient history reveals that the infant has been coughing consistently for several months. It’s never seemed all that bad. Ms. Teel thought it was just a normal thing, but then she read about RSV. Closer evaluation indicates that the infant coughs mostly at night; and, in fact, most nights the baby coughs to some extent. Additionally, Ms. Teel confirms that the infant seems to cough more when she cries. Physical examination reveals an apparently healthy age- and weight-appropriate, 7-month-old infant with breath sounds that are clear to auscultation. The infant’s medical history is significant only for eczema that was actually quite bad a few months back. Otherwise, the only remarkable history is an allergic reaction to amoxicillin that she experienced 3 months ago when she had an ear infection.
Scenario 2:
Kevin is a 6-year-old boy who is brought in for evaluation by his parents. The parents are concerned that he has a really deep cough that he just can’t seem to get over. The history reveals that he was in his usual state of good health until approximately 1 week ago when he developed a profound cough. His parents say that it is deep and sounds like he is barking. He coughs so hard that sometimes he actually vomits. The cough is productive for mucus, but there is no blood in it. Kevin has had a low-grade temperature but nothing really high. His parents do not have a thermometer and don’t know for sure how high it got. His past medical history is negative. He has never had childhood asthma or RSV. His mother says that they moved around a lot in his first 2 years and she is not sure that his immunizations are up to date. She does not have a current vaccination record.
Scenario 3:
Maria is a 36-year-old who presents for evaluation of a cough. She is normally a healthy young lady with no significant medical history. She takes no medications and does not smoke. She reports that she was in her usual state of good health until approximately 3 weeks ago when she developed a “really bad cold.” The cold is characterized by a profound, deep, mucus-produci.
Discussion Racism and PrivilegeIn many societies certain groups p.docxmickietanger
Discussion: Racism and Privilege
In many societies certain groups possess more resources and hold more power than other groups. In some of these societies, racial discrimination and racial tension also exist. While members of the societies may openly acknowledge that unequal distribution of power and racism are present in their society, many fail to examine the complex relationships between privilege and racism. Social workers must understand this complex relationship so they can educate and empower their clients. Empowerment is the cornerstone of social work practice
.
In the book
Black Empowerment,
the author,Barbara Solomon, writes, "Empowerment refers to a process whereby persons who belong to a stigmatized social category throughout their lives can be assisted to develop and increase skills in the exercise of interpersonal influence and the performance of valued social roles" (p. 6).
Empowerment practice is based on a collaborative relationship between worker and client, initiated to promote the client's power through self-actualization, self-determination, and the fulfillment of personal goals (Gutierrez, Parsons, & Cox, 1998). Further, this process includes increasing your clients' awareness of the structural oppression that exists and its impact on them. It is the role of social workers to empower clients and to bring about awareness of the inequalities that exist in society. This is done two fold—through work with clients on the micro and mezzo levels and on a macro level through work in organizations and communities.
Social workers cannot effectively empower clients without first understanding the mechanisms of oppression and how they impact their day-to-day work. Then social workers can recognize the impact on their clients' lives and apply the appropriate skills.
To prepare: Review the case study "Working With Individuals: The Case of Mary."
Post by Day 3
an explanation of the relationship between racism and privilege. Furthermore, explain how the concepts of racism and privilege relate to "Working With Individuals: The Case of Mary." Explain the impact of racism and privilege on social work practice. Provide recommendations for how you as a social worker might use an empowerment perspective when responding to Mary. Be specific and provide examples from the case. Also, identify specific skills social workers might employ.

Discussion QuestionsUser-interface design techniques and human-com.docxmickietanger
Discussion Questions
User-interface design techniques and human-computer interaction (HCI) evolved from studies of human interaction with machines. The field of human factors was first associated with engineering, as engineers designed machines. However, engineers used precise specifications and predictable behavior and often found the human factor frustrating. Dialogs are used to define a menu hierarchy that allows the user to navigate to each dialog. Each dialog is based on a use case documented early during the inception phase that is classified as requiring a user interface. Discuss the following questions:
What are dialog designs?
Within an iteration, can analysis and design activities occur simultaneously?
Why or why not?
How does a developer know when to do analysis and when to do design?
The definition of interface design standards states that “general principles and rules must be followed….”
Do user interface design standards restrict creativity?
Many researchers create analysis and design techniques that place the user interface at the center of the development process because they recognize the importance of the user interface to system developers and users alike. Complete the following assignment:

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Guided Response:
Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to at
least two classmates. Offer an additional example of how
development of the age groups your classmates selected
influence curriculum decisions.
Student 1: Tracie:
The age group I chose is 3-5 years of age. The physical
development of children in this age group is movement and
coordination which can also influence the curriculum. During
this time, children’s’ brains are like sponges. They are watching
and learning everything in their environment. This age group
brings a “wide variety of experiences to the preschool setting,
which should serve to inform curricular decisions (Jaruszewicz,
2013). The social and emotional aspect of this age group is that
of caring, understanding and many more. Three to five-year
old’s need the aptness to proceed around and we as teachers
should promote physical development. A great way of doing this
is consistently doing active play inside and also outside of the
classroom. Teachers should label bins and shelves that have
objects such as toys and the areas they are playing/ working in.
The children will be able to independently pick them up and
return them as they play. Incorporate games in the curriculum
that lets them move free and easily within the game.
Cognitive aspect of a 3-5-year-old is that their brain functions
are learning things on a daily base to help the child. In the
newsletter by Paraskevopoulou it was written: “Curriculums
that include topics such as appropriate scheduling, creating a
2. developmentally appropriate classroom, and making the most of
learning centers, will help create a classroom environment that
actively engages the child and keeps his or her attention. When
implemented in the classroom, these components contribute to
less discipline problems and a smoother day” (Paraskevopoulou,
F, (2008).
The key to successful learning, especially for children ages 3-5,
you must have a classroom environment that’s design especially
for them. The environment should be one where they able to
move around freely with no obstacles in their way. The
curriculum must be on the preschool level for the students to
understand.

Student 2: Stephanie:
The group I selected that I would love to work with is age range
from 3 to 5 years old. During this stage, the children are using
language to express their feelings, questions, and thoughts. This
age group is considered what I would call " preschoolers".
3. The physical domain goals focus on developing coordination
and fluidity of movement. Children are growing so fast during
this time that their body image may lag behind their actual
physical appearance, and they may have difficulty with spatial
awareness. Many of the physical development needs of
preschoolers can be supported by careful planning of the
environment and blocking out indoor and outdoor time periods
where children are free and expected to make choices, direct
their own play, and moderate their personal behavior.
The emergence of the social self takes center stage and with it
attention to cultural and gender identity, making and being
friends, and solving problems without coming to blows or
hurting someone else's feelings. Children of this age are highly
motivated by the desire to please the adults they came about.
Key goals in cognitive domain include development of memory,
attention, symbolic representation, loge and reasoning, language
and literacy, multiple perspectives, and the acquisition of
concepts fundamentally to later learning across all content
areas.

Guided Response:
Respond to at least two of your classmates and provide
recommendations to extend their thinking. Identify at least one
aspect of the video not discussed in their responses that you
think should be included. Share some ideas for how they could
incorporate this aspect in their classroom.
4. Student 1: Venice:
Preschool is a very important time in life for young children.
Preschools help children get familiar with active play and
children their age. Children attending preschool for the first
time will get to experience being around other children their age
if they haven't done so already during daycare. These children
will learn how to communicate, share, and respect personal
boundaries. Children attending preschool will learn letters,
numbers, potty training, words, and should also begin writing
their names by this age. Preschool isn't always based around
curriculum in the classroom. Preschool also promotes life skills
such as cooking, washing their hands, cleaning all through
active play that will benefit them in the future.
Well qualified teachers are important to ensure the wellbeing
of the children.
These qualified teachers help with steering the children in the
correct direction of life and being successful during their school
years. They also help assess issues in children early on that may
surface, so those issues can be address and the child won’t
suffer in the end. Qualified teachers also advocate for their
children when it is something in the curriculum they like and
may not like.
Play is integrated into the classroom by allowing children to be
social and use their imagination doing so while cooking, play
talking on the phone, cleaning and pretending to be parents who
they demonstrate what they are seeing at home. All of these
things stimulate the brain and prepares them for what life has in
store.
Student 2: Stephanie:
Preschool program is very important for young children.
5. Preschool is known for an educational establishment to prepare
the young children for Kindergarten. In preschool, children
combine learning with play in a program run by professionally
trained adults. Many people will confused preschool and
daycare. Many people believe that preschool is just like a
daycare center. However, preschool is where the children
emphasis in learning and development rather than enabling
parents to work or pursue other activities. Play is integrated
into learning with a lot of make believe that allow children to
develop abstract thinking, verbal and social skills, along with
self-regulation. All of which enhance their imagination,
vocabulary, social, emotional, and cognitive learning skills.
Play is very important because it helps children learn about the
world and society. It also promotes problem-solving, promotes
creativity, imagination, cognitive, social, and emotional
development.
According to naeyc, play is an important part of children's
learning and development. Their are many games that can be
used to help with the children learning and development. In the
video, the teacher had many great ideas for the children by
using nature materials. This allows them to be familiar with the
nature side of the world. This also allows them to be more
creative with their thoughts.

7. “Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis and as such has had a
tremendous impact on contemporary thought and popular
culture by baring the irrational and subconscious roots of much
human action” (Cook, 2015).
Next, summarize the scholarly article you read. Your summary
should provide an overview of the theoretical perspective and
describe any empirical work (i.e., research study) that is
presented in the article. For additional assistance on how to
summarize an article click here.
In the article,
Fears Founded and Unfounded,
author Sigmund Freud explains his theory between actual and
unstable fears. For example, one person might fear what another
does not based on either knowledge/experience or their
perception of a certain thing. In addition, Freud expresses that,
fear could in fact, cause more harm than good in a situation, and
that it is better to use rational thinking to analyze the situation
to determine the best outcome rather than let fear drive certain
behaviors and actions. However, fear is also a part of our safe
keeping as it alerts us to real danger, so it is important to take
this in consideration when determining whether the fear is real
or an exaggerated misconception (2017).
Examine how this theory/research provides insight into
differences in psychological functioning.
In layman’s terms, what does the theoretical perspective, that
you explain, tell us about the differences between people and
how they behave, think, and feel? How might it explain why
they do what they do?
Basically, it says that people who might be facing a true life
and death situation might be facing a real fear brought on by
self-preservation, while others are dealing with over
8. exaggerated fallacy’s that are only causing more damage to the
well-being of the individual mental health.
Illustrate with an example from your own observation or
experience.
What personal experiences or observations of these types of
behaviors might be able to be explained by this perspective?
Ia friend of mine was diagnosed with Social Anxiety Disorder,
regarding my past experiences it has been common that in many
social situations she has faced caused or led to negative
consequences in life, so now she associates any social situation
as having some kind of negative experience. This could be
considered a false fear for some, but from my understanding it
is based off prior experiences.

Describe your selected psychologist and his or her main
contributions to the field
.
Stanley Milgram was a social psychologist know for obedience
experiments. His research was aimed at seeing how far people
are willing to go to obey authority. His experiments raised some
questions on ethical issues as well. The biggest contribution
Stanley Milgram made is seen today in how experiments are
done and what is accepted and allowed to take place during the
experiments.
summarize the scholarly article
The article is a guide to the steps taken in an experiment which
would determine how obedience play a part in the harming of
others. The test subject was put in front of a machine which had
buttons each button was a connected to a shock generator which
10. was attached to a complete stranger in another room. The test
subject would ask a question to the person hooked to the
receiving end of the shock device. If the question was answered
incorrectly the test subject would have to shock them. There
were 30 buttons and every button were labeled from slight
shock to Danger, sever shock. The test was performed to find
out how far the person was willing to go if an authority figure
was telling them to proceed with shocking the person.
Examine how this theory/research provides insight into
differences in psychological functioning.
This experiment shows a lot about how the human mind works.
Most people in the experiment was dismissive to the other
person who was receiving the shock, simply because an
authority figure told them to press the button. Some stopped a
questioning their action but still proceeded in delivering the
shocks. Very few stood up and said this is wrong I will not do
it.
This is in my opinion very disturbing to say the least. For a
human to know they are hurting someone else and proceed to do
so even when they know they are wrong just because someone
who is perceived as having authority told them to do so. This
shows humans will do whatever they are told to do as long as
they do not feel like they are responsible for the act.
Guided Response:
Reply to at least one peer who chose a hypothesis other than the
one you selected and two or more peers overall. The goal of
this interactive learning activity is to foster creative and critical
thinking. Consider the following questions in your responses:
· What ethical or methodological considerations may have been
overlooked by your peer?
11. · Suggest an alternate descriptive method (e.g., case study,
survey, naturalistic observation) to test the same idea.
Student 1: Carlen:
Select a hypothesis from the following list
Attractive people are more likely to be asked on a date.
Briefly summarize a perspective (e.g., behaviorism,
psychodynamic theory, cognitivism, humanism, sociocultural
perspectives, and biological/physiological/psychological) that
you might apply to your study of this topic. Explain how it may
be relevant to your understanding of this topic.
Sociocultural perspective is what I chose because where you are
or what you do and surround yourself with affects you
prospective on most things and I believe social media changes
your prospective on things.
Describe a simple experiment Preview the document that you
might conduct to test the hypothesis you have chosen. In your
description, include the following:
Identify the independent and dependent variables, clearly
operationalizing each. To test my theory I would use social
media (Independent variable) and the type of dating apps would
be my (Dependent variable). I would make it so I had 3 females
and 3 male’s swiping on tinder and other dating sites and watch
who they swipe. I would get the base line “hot” score by asking
everyone what they prefer and making them vote and the most
common selections would be what the base line is. Then watch
them utilize the apps and see if who they swipe on matches the
base line. One way that we could stop people from being bias is
what I said, make a base line for hot and even if they swipe off
of that it won’t count for the “hot” list.

Hypothesis: Reading to a child will result in a more extensive
vocabulary.
Although Neurologist Sigmund Freud’s is well known as the
founder of psychoanalysis, his theories were criticized and not
widely accepted by his colleagues then or today because of
weak, experimental methods, and his theories were hard to test
so, they can not be deemed as true or false (LeFrancois, 2016,
sec 9.2).
According to LeFrancois, (2016), the description of psychology
is based on a wide field of study; it is sometimes compared to a
puzzle that requires placing the different pieces in the correct
order. Psychology is a social science that studies human
behavior and the mental process through theory and hypothesis
while specializing in trying to uncover the reason why people
experience psychological disorders such as anxiety, depression
addiction and relationship problems (LeFrancois, 2016). The
psychological study of the human mind is relevant to
understanding and assessing the impact that research has on
cognitive development and how it relates to behavior and
emotions in children and adults.
Psychological Experiment: Reading to a child will result in a
more extensive vocabulary.
Theory: Research shows that not only talking to your children
but reading to them increases their vocabulary states Professor
Dominic Massaro, (as cited in Fry, 2015). Developing mastery
over words expands grammatical understanding and is a strategy
for competent literacy skill (Fry, 2015).
Simple experiment: 3-years olds divided into a group with
13. books and a group without in separate area.
Independent Variable:
Group A is 3- year old children being read to by parents and
teacher utilizing books that describe objects and show scenes
being portrayed, increasing their knowledge and vocabulary
with new words.
Dependent Variables:
Group B parents talks to 3-year old children utilize day-to-day
language exchanges with parents, teachers and each other as
they look at picture books and talk about what they see.
Without guidance, these children will not understand the
importance of literacy or have an extensive vocabulary.
Observation 1:
The children in Group A are not only looking at and enjoying
the pictures in the book they are listening and following along
as the speakers read the text aloud. Professional parents who
are educated usually have an extensive vocabulary and provide
stimulating conversation and reading material.
Observation 2:
The children in Group B are using generalized communication
with each other, and the adults present by exchanging
conversation on topics about their, toys, people and pictures in
their surroundings. Parents education level may place a limit on
vocabulary as well as their socioeconomic status.
To control potential mistakes and confusion children are placed
in separate areas to be observed. Children in Group A are
placed in circle time where the choice of books are available,
and they are encouraged to choose a favorite to be read by a
nonconnected observer. Children in Group B are sat at a table
in a different room with another nonconnected observer and are
14. each asked to pick a book and talk about the story. Because
children are stimulated and repeat language they hear reading to
them opens a world of new words, language patterns and
meaning.
According to LeFrancois (2016), a step a researcher could take
to prevent bias is to make sure that whoever collects the
information or data is not aware of which group is the
experiment group and which is the test group. Another
prevention is to make sure that the subject is not aware that they
are a part of an experimental group (LeFrancois, 2016).
Eliminating bias in a controlled experiment ensures that an
accurate and trustworthy result is obtained and that the
objective is determined to be sound.
