Evaluate the internal and external weaknesses in the organization’s progress toward goals
Amazon has hired you to reorganize a department within their company based on your Executive

Summary. (You may also choose a department of a company you are familiar with from previous experience.)

Investigate the department more thoroughly and write a plan to improve the department. Recommend actions and next steps. Include a system to list and quantitatively score competing alternative solutions. One example may be a table that lists all of the recommended actions in one column, with additional ‘expected results’ and ‘grade’ columns. In the grade column you can assign a number to how you think each potential action may meet the expected result and include this summary in your plan.
Write an email to the company CEO briefly describing your findings in the department and your plan of

action.
Also, write a draft email that the CEO can send out to employees to gain their buy-in for the changes

ahead. (Remember, you want the email brief and the receiver to read it.)

      The place in which I work as a mental health practitioner is a substance use clinic. The propensity of abuse of psychopharmacological interventions is ubiquitous, many times exhibited in the route of administration. An example that I have encountered is with the medication of Ritalin, which may have been prescribed by the clinics psychiatrist or by the clients doctor.
        Preston, ONeal, and Talaga (2017) discuss Ritalin in the segment dealing with child and adolescent psychopharmacology as a stimulant that may be given for Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder. The Diagnostic Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (APA, 2013) does indicate that there is a prevalence of this disorder in adults, which is what I have encountered in my clinic. Ritalin is generally taken orally and there is rapid onset with symptoms abating generally within forty-five minutes after ingestion (Preston et al., 2017). Wolfe (2020) corroborates this point, by advancing that oral administration of medication evokes results in around 30 minutes contingent on stomach contents and breakdown.
        Preston et al. (2017) advance the neurobiological process of how substances generally operate within the body. Kalat (2009) specifies this process for Ritalin by elucidating that it operates by blocking the reuptake of dopamine, yet there are distinctions in dose and time course. For example, depending on dose and time course, people may experience a gradual increase in the drugs concentration overtime followed by a slow decline. However, the route of administration can be part of the abuse of this prescribed medication. In my clinic, it is common for those prescribed Ritalin, to crush it and snort it.  An interesting and novel point which I have learned is that snorting Ritalin means that large doses of methylphenidate has immediate access to the blood and reaches the brain in less time than when taking it orally. Wolfe (2020) indicates that the effects can manifest in 3-5 minutes through this route of administration. Additionally, the effects can be heightened due to direct access to the bloodstream.

During one of my practicums I was performing pre-screening evaluations for clients who had chronic pain and wanted to undergo an invasive surgery for a spinal cord simulator. Prior to seeing me, many clients had tried almost every option in the book, physical therapy, back surgeries, ablation, cortisone shots, and medications. Spinal cord simulators are subcutaneous implants. They are commonly surgically implanted beneath the skin on the lower back. It is a small wire that transmits electrical signals via a remote held by the client.
However many clients who were not psychological fit to undergo the surgery were often referred back to the PCP and given various forms of medications for nerve pain. A common medication for nerve pain were anticonvulsants. One of the more common ones was Gabapentin. According to WebMD there are various forms of Gabapentin from capsules, to creams, patches, and powders. More often than not I have come across the capsules. Specifically the Gabapentin extended release tablet so that the drug is released slowly over 24 hours, allowing clients to take them less frequently.
Many are cautioned that with oral medications and extended release medication in particular, if crushed will release all of the drug at once. Here is where a concern for addiction and abuse may come into play.
One thing that I have seen consistently for clients with chronic pain is that many of them will do anything to experience relief. Many start off with the basics and no medications only to use them or an invasive surgery as a last resort. Oral medications are the most common and for those with chronic pain, often come with an additional list of medication that are administered by one way or another.
