How did cultural and societal events of the time shape the development of this school of thought? How did this school of thought shape and influence societal thinking?

/in /by

For this assignment, you will be examining the historical foundations of three major schools of thought within the field of psychology: psychoanalysis, Behaviorism, and Humanism.
You will be applying the three major theories and the concepts from these theories to help understand a case scenario. You will be comparing and contrasting the strengths and the limitations of each of the theories in understanding the particular case. You will then draw a conclusion and defend your conclusion as to which theory best fits with understanding the particular case.
In a well-written 8-12 page scholarly paper, address the following:

Begin with a discussion of the historical foundations of each school of thought: psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and humanism. Be sure to include a discussion of the following:
Historical underpinnings of each school of thought.
Major theorists within each school of thought.
Major concepts within each school of thought.
Bidirectional relationships between cultural and societal factors and each school of thought.
How did cultural and societal events of the time shape the development of this school of thought? How did this school of thought shape and influence societal thinking?
Paraphrase as much of the information that you learn from sources as possible rather than using direct quotes. Quotes should be used only occasionally. Cite and reference all sources of information you paraphrase or quote in your work.

Case Study
Apply the major concepts and theories from each school of thought to the following case study:

Judy is a 29-year-old single female. She has a very demanding, high stress job as a second-year medical resident in a large hospital. Judy has always been a high achiever. She graduated with top honors in both college and medical school. She has very high standards for herself and can be very self-critical when she fails to meet them. Lately, she has struggled with significant feelings of worthlessness and shame due to her inability to perform as well as she always has in the past.

Address the following in your paper:

How would a psychoanalyst explain what is happening here? How might a psychoanalyst explain Judy's high standards and feelings of worthlessness and shame? How would a behaviorist explain what is happening here? How would a humanist explain what is happening here?
Compare and contrast the strengths and limitations pros and cons of each school of thought's approach to our understanding of Judy's this case. What unique perspective does each school of thought bring to the understanding? What are the limitations of each school of thought in understanding Judy's case?
Select one school of thought (psychoanalysis, Behaviorism, Humanism) and present an argument as to why you think this school of thought would be the most appropriate in addressing the issues presented in the case study. Overall, which school of thought provides the best understanding of Judy's case? Be sure to also discuss the limitations of the two schools you did not choose.

Deep vein thrombosis

/in /by

Topic choice: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Specifically looking for a discussion of the 8 IOM standards as well as a discussion of the benefits and disadvantages of using CPGs in general

Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) are used by healthcare providers to make informed decisions regarding healthcare interventions for specific disease processes and/or healthcare concerns.

“Clinical practice guidelines are systematically developed statements to assist practitioner and patient decisions about appropriate health care for specific clinical circumstances (Institute of Medicine, 1990).” They define the role of specific diagnostic and treatment modalities in the diagnosis and management of patients. The statements contain recommendations that are based on evidence from a rigorous systematic review and synthesis of the published medical literature. Review related information at https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/guidelines/about.htm (Links to an external site.)

It is useful to understand the standards used to develop trustworthy Clinical Practice Guidelines. In preparation for completing this assignment, review the eight standards identified by the Institute of Medicine at https://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/Clinical-Practice-Guidelines-We-Can-Trust/Standards.aspx (Links to an external site.). For additional information regarding the role of systemic reviews and development of clinical guidelines in improving healthcare decision making, check out the following web site: https://resources.iom.edu/widgets/systematic-review/infographic.html (Links to an external site.)

In addition to understanding the standards used in development of Clinical Practice Guidelines and the role of systemic reviews, it is important to understand how to actually use a CPG. Review the professional literature for recommendations regarding how to use a clinical practice guideline (CPG).

For this assignment students are to utilize a clinical practice guideline. You can write as if you intend to plan care for a patient experiencing a specific disorder or healthcare concern, if this will help you organize your thoughts.

Examples of appropriate healthcare topics include:

· Stage II –IV Pressure Ulcers

· Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

· Falls

· Catheter associated infections

· Urinary tract infection (UTI)

Read Chapter 3 of the informatics text for background information, then select a healthcare topic (one of the above or another of similar ilk). Students are to then locate a CPG focused on nursing care for the selected healthcare topic.

For this assignment, interview someone in a leadership position in a healthcare organization to ask about how that organization handles patient and employee education, and whether that organization participates in any research

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to benefit from the perspective of a leader in education and research in healthcare how they do their research. Most hospitals and other healthcare organizations offer education for patients and employees, and they conduct research (mostly market research). Major academic medical centers participate in major research studies, usually aimed at developing a better treatment, or curing some illness. Through the readings you will learn about various forms of research.
For this assignment, interview someone in a leadership position in a healthcare organization to ask about how that organization handles patient and employee education, and whether that organization participates in any research (if so, find out what types and whether it is mostly qualitative or quantitative research). In your paper, compare what this leader tells you to what you learned through your research for the Clinical Drug Trial.
This can be where you currently work or have access to members of the leadership team. You are asked to use Clinical Drug Trial, as this will allow you to see what you learned from your research in a real-world application.
Prepare and submit a paper responding to the following items:
1. Provide an overview of the area of Clinical Drug Trial.
2. Determine whether or not your research is qualitative or quantitative and why.

Expectations
Write a 4 page double-spaced paper (this does not include title and reference pages) in Times New Roman and 12 Font. Copy & paste the actual questions or task from the assignment onto your cover page for each paper.. It needs to be well written, based on information from scholarly research, and should demonstrate a thorough analysis of the topic.

  • Ethics in Public Service Paper

Please read and answer the 3 fact patterns listed below. Each answer must be at least one (1) page for a total of 3 pages.  (typed, double spaced),

Fact Patterns

  • Carlos Chance, is a former United States Postal Service (USPS) manager. His son, Julio, who is also a former worker at the post office, was shot when a disgruntled employee, who was attempting to shoot Carlos, fired shots through the rear door, hitting Julio.  Carlos was not injured, but Julio will never walk again and has medical bills of $7 million dollars.  The postal service has not made any payments to help Julio with his medical bills. There is a rule at the office which states that the outer doors in the rear must remain closed, but many smokers prop the door open so that they can go and smoke and return through the door.  If the door had been shut, the gunman would not have been able to gain access and shoot Julio.   The smokers complain that there is not a specific place for them to smoke.  When several smokers were disciplined for leaving the door open, Betty, a smoker, said that at the time when the door was open, the smokers were not outside smoking, but were engaged in a protest to get a designated smoking area. Please assume that postal employees are public servants.

Also, while Carlos was employed by the postal service, he established a truck leasing company called Golden Pacific Logistics (GPL) to pay for the medical bills that were piling up because of Julio’s injury. From 2005 to 2009, the Carlos submitted a bid for GPL to be awarded truck leasing contracts with the postal service in the same unit that he managed. During this time, GPL billed the postal service for expenses that were never incurred for trucks, mileage, servicing, and maintenance costs. In his position with the USPS, the Carlos authorized the payments to GPL. GPL billed and received approximately $6.4 million from the post office; $4.4 million of this amount was the result of fraudulent billing.

Answer the following questions:

  • Using the Go/No Go decision model, should the smokers have engaged in a protest by leaving the door open?  Make sure to discuss whether a public servant can engage in conscientious dissent as a citizen.
  • Please analyze this question using the ethical theories It is clear from the facts that Carlos has broken the law.  Has Carlos also engaged in unethical activity by setting up a company to get contracts from the postal service? Does it matter that Carlos was attempting to pay for Julio’s medical bills?  What about the fact that the postal service has a duty to protect its employees?
  1. Timothy Carson, was the former human resources director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He was responsible for the oversight, training, and administration of FEMA’s employees. In 2007, he had discussions with the Gallup Organization about hiring the firm to provide consulting services to FEMA on a human resources project. He subsequently began talking to Gallup about future employment at the firm. In August 2008, FEMA awarded the contract to Gallup without any input from Carson.  However, Carson supervised the contract, which was worth $6 million over a five-year period. In December 2008 and January 2009, the Carson requested and received additional funding for the contract. While supervising the contract, Carson met and fell in love with Ms. Bailey, the head of Human Resources at Gallup. As the head of Human Resources, she was responsible for hiring employees.  In an e-mail to Ms. Bailey on February 12, 2009, the Carson stated, “I got another 500k put on the contract. Cool huh?”

In January 2009, Carson interviewed for a job with Gallup, and in February 2009 he received a job offer from the firm. After he accepted the job with Gallup, and while he was still working at FEMA, he continued to oversee and work on the human resources project being performed by Gallup.  While supervising the project, Carson discovered that Bill, another FEMA employee had leaked information to another person at Gallup.  Had the information not been leaked, Gallup probably would not have gotten the contract.

Carson retired from FEMA on February 27, 2009. On his termination public financial disclosure report he indicated that he did not have any agreements or arrangements for future employment. He did not list his future employment with Gallup. On February 27, 2009, he asked Gallup, through Ms. Bailey, to provide him with an offer letter dated after the date that he left FEMA so that it would appear that he had received the offer of employment after he had resigned from FEMA. Gallup provided the letter and it was signed by Ms. Bailey. Subsequently, Ms. Bailey’s boss raised concerns about the hiring of Carson and then Gallup withdrew the offer of employment.  Carson filed a civil suit against Gallup alleging that they could not withdraw the offer of employment. Carson also leaked to FEMA that the contract with Gallup was obtained by fraud, and FEMA canceled the contract.

It is against organizational rules for an employee to leave a governmental agency and immediately work for a company that does business with FEMA.  Employees must wait a year before they can take a position with a firm that has a contract.  Also, FEMA has protections in place for employees or others who expose fraud and they cannot be fired.  If the fraud is proven, a reward of $100,000 can be paid out.  Lastly, all contractual information is confidential.

  • Is Carson a whistle blower? Please discuss Carson’s motives for leaking the information to FEMA and whether he is under an obligation to keep any information confidential.
  • Has Carson violated his ethical duty to FEMA? If he has, would it be fair for him to be rewarded with the $100,000?
