Prior to beginning work on this discussion, be sure to read the required articles for this week.You are a consulting psychologist for a local clinic and have been asked to follow up on a consultation you completed four years ago. There are current developments in this case that require further consideration. Please review thePSY699 Week Five discussion case file (Links to an external site.)or detailed information on the current case under review.In your initial post, explain how the APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in this ethically complex situation. Provide a suggested course of action for the clinic staff. Given the daughter’s age and the situation presented, integrate concepts developed from different psychological content domains to support your suggested course of action. Be certain to use evidence-based psychological concepts and theories to support your arguments. You may wish to consider the following questions as you construct your post.Should the staff encourage the daughter to inform her mother that she is sexually active?Would knowledge regarding her daughter’s sexual activity influence the mother’s stance regarding disclosure?Should the staff break confidentiality and inform the mother that her daughter is sexually active?Should the staff encourage the mother to inform the daughter of both her and her daughter’s HIV status?Does the daughter’s boyfriend have any rights in this situation? If so, what are they?Based on the daughter’s age, does the mother have a right to not disclose the diagnosis to her daughter?Does the mother have a right to the privacy regarding her own diagnosis, which could be threatened if her daughter learns of her own status?Are there other approaches the staff can take? If so, what are they?Is further information required in order for you to create an ethically sound suggested course of action?

Assignment: An Infant Case Study—SamMany changes happen from conception to birth. A single-celled zygote multiplies and grows over approximately 9 months into a living, breathing human being composed of trillions of cells. That’s quite an amazing feat! With such rapid growth occurring, it is not surprising that the developing fetus is vulnerable to a number of different environmental influences.For this Assignment, you will examine an infant case study to determine short-term developmental outcomes.Refer to the following Case Study about Sam, a male infant:An infant male, Sam, was born to Jane and Roberto. Jane works in the city as a medical transcriptionist, but requested 12 weeks of family leave effective immediately upon Sam’s birth.Sam was born 6 weeks premature, by Cesarean delivery. His Apgar score at 1 minute was 5; after receiving oxygen, his Apgar score at 5 minutes was 8. Apart from the first few minutes after birth, Sam has not required oxygen or respiratory assistance. Because of his prematurity, Sam stayed in the hospital for 72 hours before he was discharged.Jane drank occasionally throughout the pregnancy, but reported drinking most heavily during the last trimester of her pregnancy, which was about the time Roberto got laid off from his job. There is suspicion, although not confirmed, that Sam has Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Sam is a fussy eater, requiring short and frequent feedings. He has been home for 2 weeks and wakes up hungry every 2 hours. He does not sleep through the night.Roberto and Jane live in a house in a rural area. They do not have a network of friends and family who live nearby who can help, but Jane’s mother has offered to move in with them temporarily. Roberto and Jane’s mother get along very well. Jane is debating whether she should reduce her family leave and go back to work earlier than she had planned.Many of the details in the above case study have purposely been left ambiguous (e.g., ethnicity, geographic location, etc.) so that you can make some conjectures of your own and relate that to Sam’s short-term and long-term prognosis.To prepare for this Assignment:Review the Learning Resources for this week and consider any environmental factors that might affect the infant’s development.Search the Internet and/or the Walden library to find articles related to the case study that might support your findings.For this Assignment:Write a 2- to 3-page paper and include the following:Explain the environmental factors presented in the Case Study, as well as others that may be present but not specifically identified in the Case Study that might affect Sam’s development.With the environmental factors you explained, further explain what you think the best case scenario and the worst case scenario might be for Sam’s short-term developmental outcomes and explain why.Be specific, provide examples, and justify your response with citations from the Learning Resources/literature.Support your Assignment with specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the Learning Resources for this course. Use proper APA format and citations.
