Discussion: Counseling Same-Sex Couples Consider the following scenario: You are a helping professional providing counseling to a same-sex couple. The partners in that couple are parents to two children, ages 6 and 3. Beyond this basic information, you are asked to speculate how additional details might influence this couple’s experience of parenting. Consider different possible aspects of their lives as parents, including how parenting may influence their couple relationship, what connections the family may have to other members of the local community, and how the parents might interact with and experience institutions related to their parenting experiences (e.g., schools, child care, health care providers, mental health professionals). Select two pairs of demographic differences from the following list: Urban/rural Interracial/same race One stay-at-home parent/dual career Higher/lower socioeconomic status Residency in a state where a legal union is possible/residency in a state where a legal union is not possible Secular/religious Consider how the same-sex couples’ parenting experiences might differ between each side of the categories you selected. Post by Day 4 the two categories of demographic differences that you selected. Explain how the couple’s relationship and their parenting experiences might differ between each side of the categories you selected. (For example, if you chose urban/rural as one of your categories, explain how the experiences would differ if the couple lived in an urban area or if they lived in a rural area.) Finally, explain how your counseling approach might differ based on the different experiences of the couple. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources. ...

Substance Abuse Substance abuse is perceived in a variety of ways by different entities. The court system may view substance abuse as a criminal activity. The medical and social work fields may view it as evidence of a disease or disorder. Uninformed individuals may view substance abuse as a personal choice or weakness. Decisions about how to address and respond to this social problem influence the development of effective policies. This week, you explore the impact of drug policies on clients and populations. You identify the ethical obligations of social workers in changing drug policies. You also identify a social justice issue for which you can advocate and write a letter to a legislative representative.

Drug Policies and Ethics The NASW Code of Ethics provides social workers with guidelines and standards for interacting with clients, colleagues, communities, and society, as a whole. These standards govern interactions and professional behavior of social work practitioners. The NASW has also developed specific standards, which are published in the NASW Standards for Social Work Practice With Clients With Substance Use Disorders. These standards emphasize the importance of the competence of social workers. The standards indicate that social workers should be knowledgeable of evidence-based interventions for substance disorders. The confidentiality standard becomes essential as social workers must be informed and comply with federal, state, and local laws about substance use, as well as third-party payee regulations.

As a result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and private insurance exchanges, there are fewer uninsured in the U.S. now compared to 2010. In 2022, the national uninsured rate reached a new low of only 8% of the population (HHS, 2022). In addition, under the ACA, 39 states have expanded Medicaid coverage to nearly all adults up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2022). Assume you are the administrator of a health care organization that accepts Medicaid as a payor, but in a state that has not expanded Medicaid coverage. Recent Medicaid policies and discounting have contributed to the organization’s failing bottom line. Many of your clients are on Medicaid or uninsured. You have been asked to prepare an executive summary to present to the board of directors detailing how Medicaid discounting causes hardships on your organization’s finances and the health populations you serve. Write a 700- to 1,050-word executive summary. Include the following in your executive summary: • Clearly identify the type of facility that you are leading. • Explain specific cuts that Medicaid has made in recent years. • Describe how Medicaid discounting causes hardships on your organization. • Evaluate the impact of federal or state health care policies are having on consumers’ costs. Explore both positive and negative effects. • Recommend changes you propose to help decrease the deficit from the perspective of your organization. • Recommend actions the organization can take to alleviate the negative effects of these changes but still meet the needs of various populations. Cite 3 reputable references to support your assignment (e.g., trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, or other sources of similar quality). Format your assignment according to APA guidelines. Part 2: Resource: Ch. 8 to 14 of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: • Define the term social contract. • Within this context, should cultures within the United States be expected to set aside some traditions or beliefs and integrate under a united social contract? • How does this impact or influence health care delivery within this country? Please include sources/references to support your perspective. Classmates response: respond to both in 50 words minimum. R1 To my understanding, a social contract is a living agreement (like a living document) among people in a society. This agreement is forever evolving in parallel with new technology, medical advancements, migration, etc. It is the invisible contract that sets expectations and common grounds that guides interactions between individuals. With that said, I don’t believe that cultures be forgotten. Nor do I believe that it is suitable for individuals never to assimilate. I think both can exist, and focusing on one or the other can lead to extremist ideologies. For example, the rules we have at home for ou.

Social Workers additional knowledge of the culture of a member of the LGBTQ community would be very beneficial for not only the Social Worker but more importantly the client. King et al. (2007) argues that (as cited in Alessi, 2013, p. 224)” therapists and counselors still require specialized knowledge to understand how to support a range of sexual identities such as bisexuality; how sexuality is understood by families and how they respond; the difficulties encountered by sexual minority youth; therapist expertise and sensitivity regarding LGBTQ issues; and the effect of therapists’ sexual orientation on the treatment process.” LGBTQ community members endure unique difficulties as those of other cultures so it is very important for Social Worker and others in the helping profession to be culturally aware. While is it almost impossible to know every single detail regarding a specific culture, having the aware of the differences between cultures is important. Some potential consequences due to a lack of cultural awareness would be possible loss of clients trust and cooperation, doing more harm than good to clients, possible loss of job and even license. Social Workers who are not culturally aware could unintentionally make a discriminatory or prejudice statement resulting in the client/Social Worker relationship being harmed.

Response 1 Respond to at least two colleagues whose classifications differ from your own by critiquing their classifications. In addition, suggest one way you might apply each colleague's life-span classification to your social work practice. Colleague 1: L It is important because although; a young person may have held down a job, and acts mature, they have not yet experienced enough of life to be considered an adult. The same concept goes for middle aged people. Although; a middle aged person is active, and looks younger than their age, they are still considered to be middle aged. In other words regardless of the accomplishments of a person, their looks, and vitality, they are still catergorized in society by their age. Behaviors that might delay the cognitive, or social aspect of the aging process are socializing with friends and within the community, and participating in activities such as swimming, bingo, traveling, and other hobbies that enhance to cognitive apects of aging.It is proven that people who continue to be active socially, age gracefully, and without limits. They also continue to work brain cells that could eventually die out from dementia, and other illnesses.. Physically a person might speed up the aging process by isolating themselves from friends and family, by not focusing on health and nutrition, and by becoming a couch potato. When a person does not take care of themselves by exercising, and watching what they eat, they end up suffering from illnesses such as diabetes, limit their mobility, and are eventually confined to walkers, wheelchairs, and medications in their later years of life. Colleague 2: E According to Zastrow & Kirst Ashman (2016), individuals within the ages of 18 and 65 years are classified as young and middle adulthood. In as much as this classification has been in existence and popular, one can argue that, to determine the term adult hood may not be as easy as it sounds. Adulthood can be perceived differently from people, considering their culture, religion, personal belief, and social economic background. According to Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman (2016), “it is difficult to pinpoint the exact time of life we are referring to when we talk about young adulthood”. Some cultures such as the Nigerian culture, consider adulthood as a period where a child can comfortably carter for his /herself without seeking the help of the parents/guardian. Such age range may be around the ages 27to 30. Other cultures perceive young adulthood as the age where a child can comfortably make good decision in line with the expectation of older adults. To replace or improve on Zatrow & Kirst Ashman classification on young and middle adulthood, I will suggest a classification of young adulthood and middle adulthood from the ages of 15 to 50. This classification is in line with Buhler theories of young adult hood. According to Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman (2016), Buhler’s theory clustered adolescent and young adulthood together to inclu.

All rights reserved. Not for resale or redistribution. Introduction Introduction While researchers have historically viewed the two-parent, biological family as the norm in U.S. society, there have always been many other family structures and types in this country, to some degree. Historically, many American families, especially immigrant families, were comprised of large and extended families (Wardle, 2013b). After the Civil War (1861–1865), many families consisted of single-parent female-headed households due to the levels of casu- alties of men in war. Some family structures have only recently been acknowledged, such as those headed by same-sex couples. For a variety of reasons, the portion of the population in other types of family structures such as blended families, dual-custody divorced families, grandparents raising grandchildren, teen parents, and single-parent families has dramatically increased over the past several decades. The discussion of various family structures in this chapter is not an attempt to compare them to the traditional nuclear family (two parents raising their biological or adoptive children)— what is termed a deficit view of the family. A deficit view is generally very limited in scope, as it compares a construct or concept (in this case, families) with an ideal and in turn may perceive ways in which it differs from the ideal as deficiencies. The aim of discussing various family structures, then, is to provide professionals working with families a firm understanding of these family structures and acknowledge that each has unique needs. This awareness can improve professionals’ ability to provide support, advice, and if necessary, access to out- side resources. Central to our discussions of various family structures is a concept known as family well- being. Family well-being covers a wide variety of factors including the overall physical and psychological health of a family, high levels of self-esteem, a sense of power, and an internal locus of control. Internal locus of control is a sense t ...

Information Technology, Computer Networks and Cyberspace Kizza (2014) largely treated cyber-attacks as “cybercrime,” conveying the assumption that these attacks are by definition illegitimate and criminal. However, he occasionally seems to recognize that there might be motives that are more ambiguous and may have a social, moral, or political basis. Lessig (2006) also referred to Internet hacker ethic as rebellious and libertarian and not always criminal in a moral sense. One example cited by Kizza (2014) is the Seattle WTO protest and mass computer attacks that are “increasingly being used to avenge what the attackers consider to be injustices” (p. 97). Another example we discussed was the Stratfor attack. Also, recently we see many examples of cyber security invasions by governments and corporations. Search the Internet to find an example of a hacking activity or situation that represents a morally, ethically, or criminally ambiguous situation but is different from any examples you used in other assignments for this course. Write a critical essay that addresses the following items: Cite and briefly describe your example. Apply what you have learned from the course to this point to identify arguments both in support of and critical of the behavior of the attackers. Describe and explain the relationships among morality, ethics, law, and crime as they intersect in the case example that you have found. Cite Winner’s “Do Artifacts Have Politics?” to identify and explain the political, moral, and ethical choices and consequences that may be embedded in technical choices and artifacts described in your example. Discuss and cite the article “Do Artifacts Have Politics?”, the source of your example, and at least one additional credible or scholarly source other than the course textbook to support your analysis and positions. You may cite the course textbooks as well if you wish. Use standards and APA style guidelines, citing references as appropriate. Your paper should be two to three pages in length. Before submitting your final version, be sure to submit a draft version to the TurnItIn Checker. I will support you with Kizza (2014) and Lessig (2006) Textbook .

Fill out the box below. What’s your topic and focus question? Topic: This Land is My Land Focus Question: Evaluate the impact of the Pequot War on either the Europeans or Natives. Step 2: In 50 words or more, state why you chose the topic and focus question that you chose. It could be how the topic is of interest to you and that you have studied it previously, or it could be a subject that you want to learn more about something of which you do not have knowledge. I opted for “This Land is My Land” topic due to my insightful interest to explore historical events related to patriotism and balancing power between Europeans and Natives in situations such as trade negotiations. The trade aspect drove me to be specific on the focus question that need to address the impacts of Pequot War to Europeans and Natives. In this case, the contact of both had profound effect where balance of power shifted overnight from natives to Europeans. My choice is therefore grounded on the enthusiasm to discover more knowledge into this particular aspect. Step 3: List the two primary source and two secondary sources that you have chosen in the boxes below. Source Type Source Name Primary Source #1 Indian Complaints about English Settlers, 1675 Primary Source #2 Edward Randolph’s Report of King Philip’s War, 1675 Secondary Source #1 Adam J. Hirsch, “The Collision of Military Cultures in Seventeenth-Century New England.” Secondary Source #2 Michal L. Fickes, “’They Could Not Endure that Yoke’: The Capitivity of Pequot Women and Children after the War of 1637” Step 4: In 50 words or more, describe your initial thoughts about how your sources relate to your chosen topic and focus. Make sure to provide specific examples from each of the four sources that illustrate how they will help you answer your focus question. This will help you begin to think about the form of your paper! In primary #1 the natives who were the Indians, revolted against the Europeans led by King Phillip which meant the next combinations of Indians to threaten European dominance after Pequot War . Primary #2 contribute to this research since Randolph, sent by King James II, compiled a report to account for the war involving Indians and colonies led by King Phillip. On the other hand, secondary #1 is relevant to this paper since it analyze military conflicts in 17th-century, warfare practice in Europe; facets of native warfare of Indians and differences between European and native military prowess. Finally, Secondary #2 inputs to my compilation as it addresses how natives of New England were enslaved as it document how Europeans eventually thought of Pequot War as the “civilized” English versus the “savage” natives. The colonialists killed and enslaved Pequot women and children. Topic instructions: .

Information and Knowledge Needs of Nurses in the 21st Century In the year 2025, nursing practice enabled by technology has created a professional culture of reflection, critical inquiry, and inter-professional collaboration. Examples of current technology that could change in the future include: Nurses use technology at the point of care in all clinical settings (e.g., primary care, acute care, community, and long-term care) to inform their clinical decisions and effect the best possible outcomes for their clients. Information is gathered and retrieved via human–technology biometric interfaces including voice, visual, sensory, gustatory, and auditory interfaces, continuously monitoring physiologic parameters for potentially harmful imbalances. Longitudinal records are maintained for all citizens from their initial prenatal assessment to death; all life-long records are aggregated into the knowledge bases of expert systems. These systems are providing the basis of the artificial intelligence being embedded in emerging technologies. Smart technologies and invisible computing are ubiquitous in all sectors where care is delivered. Clients and families are empowered to review and contribute actively to their record of health and wellness. Invasive diagnostic techniques are obsolete, nanotechnology therapeutics are the norm, and robotics supplement or replace much of the traditional work of all health professions. Nurses provide expertise to citizens to help them effectively manage their health and wellness life plans, and navigate access to appropriate information and services. Scholarly writing includes clarity and flow of thoughts. You may want to include headings in your paper to ensure you are meeting all elements of the rubric. Rubric APA Paper APA Paper Criteria Ratings Pts Choose at least two of the technology enabled changes listed above and discuss clinical practice workflow impacts comparing current technology and the new technology. 10 pts Based on the two technology enabled changes you chose, reflect on these advances and looking to the future, how do you envision nursing care will change? 5 pts Find a current scholarly article that discusses nursing job satisfaction and the factors that influence such. Discuss the potential impacts on job satisfaction of the technologies outlined in the case scenario. 10 pts Identify at least 3 ways that nurses could use the new technologies to partner with patients to manage their health. 10 pts APA and Grammar- Title page/Running head- Body of paper/Header/Title: appropriate flow, syntax and context/3-5 pages- In-text citations- References- 10 pts Total Points: 45 .

Information Technology in Public Health Public health surveillance and prevention efforts in the U.S. reflect the involvement of numerous health care providers and organizations. Government agencies such as the CDC often function as a hub for the collection, coordination, and communication of public health-related data. Common applications of public health IT to promote and improve the health of populations include (but are not limited to) biosurveillance, disease registries, and immunization tracking. The timely and appropriate implementation of these applications can have a significant impact on the ability of providers to deliver health care to the their patients, which, in turn, can have a profound effect on a community's overall state of health and wellness. Consider the dire impact a SARS outbreak might have, for example, if patient diagnoses were not reported and shared regionally, nationally, and internationally. Prepare for this Application as follows: Conduct a literature review of a specific application of health information technology in public health and locate an example in which the application was used to address a public health-related concern. (You might wish to begin by researching a particular surveillance program, disease outbreak, disease registry, prevention program, or other public health-related event, and then identify the technology involved in this activity.) Find out how this application has impacted the public's health. Learn also about any ways in which health care providers and organizations were involved in the use of this information technology. Then write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Describe the specific application you selected and the ways in which it addresses a public health-related concern. Summarize the potential benefits to the public, as well as any possible drawbacks, arising from the use of this application. Explain the role of hospitals and other health care organizations in contributing to or making use of this public health-related IT application. Discuss other implications of this application for health care providers and organizations. How has it impacted (or might it impact) clinical or administrative practices in hospitals or other health care institutions? Provide a rationale for your response. .

Individuals use social movements when they feel a social institution is unjust. Current theoretical perspectives on social movements provide an awareness of the nature of social movements and their role in defining human behavior. In terms of human services, it is important to be able to recognize and assess the costs and benefits to individuals who participate in social movement activities (for example, healthcare reform, charity organizations, and disability movements) as well as the effects of social movements on human behavior. Tasks: Using the vignette provided in this module, your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, conduct research to support your response. In a 3- to 4-page essay, address the following: Provide a summary of the vignette's key points as related to the social movements it represents. Identify and describe the concepts from this module that can be applied to the vignette to describe human behavior (i.e., cultural framing). Identify and discuss the effects of the identified social movement on the individual described in the vignette. Provide a summary of service methods or options that could be used to support this person. You can use examples you have identified in your own community as well. Submission Details: By Wednesday, October 14, 2015 , prepare a 3- to 4-page essay. Your response should rely upon at least three sources from professional literature. This may include the Argosy University online library resources, relevant textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles, and websites created by professional organizations, agencies, or institutions (.edu, .org, or .gov). Write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources (i.e., APA format); and use accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation. .

Information is provided for you below that will help you construct an answer for your interpretation of the figures on page 2-3. Background: Dendrobates pumilo is a poison dart frog with a distributional range from Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama. The bright colors from the skin of these frogs are considered to be a warning sign of toxicity to predators. Although D. pumilo is one species, there are 10 color polymorphic populations within this range. The warning signs as displayed on D. pumilo are favored by natural selection in terms of predator avoidance. Purpose of the study (what scientists wanted to understand): 1) How visual conspicuousness and toxicity is correlated. 2) Differences between visual backgrounds and predator visual systems on detection of D. pumilo . Glossary: Dorsal : upper side or back Ventral : underside 1 Visual background : Poison dart frogs live on different natural substrates; live dead plant parts, so this would bring about different visual backgrounds. Visual systems : In this study they are referring to how predators “view” D. pumilo. Remember, not all predators will see their prey the same way. Color polymorphisms : alternative phenotypes, and in this case alternative phenotypes of frog skin color. NAME: ______________________ Figure 1. Sampled populations of Dendrobates pumilio in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panama. From Isla Bastimentos, two D. pumilio color morphs were collected (green and orange), as well as four individuals of the closely related but nontoxic control species Allobates talamancae . Bio 112 Olave Spring 2016 2 Figure 2. Toxicity scores and coloration brightness in Dendrobates pumilio . A , Open bars indicate toxicity scores with standard errors. Different letters above the bars indicate statistically significant differences; numbers are population numbers referred to in C and in subsequent figures. Allobates talamancae (a closely related Dendrobatid frog) and saline solution served as toxicity measure controls. B , Gray bars indicate the overall brightness of dorsal coloration (total reflectance flux, S R , in arbitrary units) for the 11 frog taxa. C , The inset gives the correlation between toxicity and dorsal brightness for the 10 D. pumilio populations. Numbers refer to the population labels in A . Bio 112 Olave Spring 2016 3 NAME: ______________________ Figure 3. Illustration of the perceptual differences between potential predator taxa in species-specific color space. Plots show the estimated brightness and color contrast generated by the dorsal coloration of individuals from three Dendrobates pumilio populations (Solarte [orange], Aguacate [blue], and Pastores [green]), viewed against a Heliconia background, in the visual systems of birds, crabs, and diurnal snakes. Each dot represents reflectance spectra measured from an individual frog. The relative conspicuousness of the different frog morphs differs by viewer. For exa.
