Scenario Analysis Assignment

/in /by

Topic 7: Scenario Analysis Assignment

Directions: Read the four scenarios below. Provide a 75-150-word response to each question in all four of the scenarios presented below. Use the ACA and NAADAC Codes of Ethics and other scholarly resources to support your responses. You must provide at least one properly formatted APA citation and accompanying reference to support your response for each scenario.

 

Scenario One: Barbara is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) working for a nonprofit social service agency. Many of the clients in the agency are female domestic violence victims. The director of the agency has asked Barbara to develop a counseling group to serve the needs of these individuals.

Question One: What ethical matters should Barbara consider as she plans this group?

 

Question Two: What methods should Barbara use to ensure confidentiality in the context of group counseling?

 

Question Three: If breaches of confidentiality occur, how should Barbara manage them?

 

Scenario Two: David is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) working for a family counseling center. Steve, one of his adult clients, would like to begin couples counseling with his wife.

Question One: What ethical matters should David consider before beginning to see Steve and his wife?

 

Question Two: What special issues of confidentiality may arise in the case? How should David address these issues?

 

Question Three: How might differences in personal values and gender/cultural issues create ethical dilemmas in this case?

 

Scenario Three: Stephanie is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who has decided to start a private practice as she transitions from public to private practice. As she makes her plans, there are many ethical issues she must consider. While these issues are of concern to all counselors, she must consider how they specifically impact a counselor in private practice.

Question One: How can she ethically handle limited resources, deal with cost containment issues, respond to discrimination, and promote community change?

 

Question Two: As a service provider, with what ethical issues and practices related to state insurance laws and managed care must she be familiar?

 

Question Three: What are the ethical obligations and limitations faced by a counselor who serves clients who have been the victim of discrimination, injustice, poverty, or lack of access to behavioral health services? What best practice community based interventions could she refer her clients to?

 

Section Four: Amari has recently passed her NCMHCE and will soon be considered an independent clinical practitioner. Her husband is in the military and they travel often. Amari hopes to strictly provide distance counseling in her private practice. She has never provided distance counseling nor does she know of anyone who does it. Rely heavily on Section H: Distance Counseling, Technology, and Social Media of the American Counseling Association’s Code of Ethics to consider the following.

 

Question One: What should Amari consider in regards to distance counseling?

How to create a case study

/in /by

My pathogen is Chaga’s disease

How to create a case study

The case studies are meant to be an enjoyable, interesting, and informative assignment.  This is your chance to show that you understand the key teaching points about a microbe and to communicate these points to in a written format.  Have at least 3-4 key referenced points in each of the five areas.  The chart below suggests the type of information requested for the pathogen. Outlines can be in whatever form you prefer (bullets/charts/outlines/diagrams or a mix).  Be sure to include two discussion questions (and provide complete answers) that you can incorporate into your case study (place them at the end of your write-up). These questions should help connect your case to other material in the course.  For example, what other microbes have an A-B toxin?  What other viruses are transmitted by fecal-oral spread?  Pertinent references can be listed at the bottom of your outline in a small font. Use Council of Science Editors (CSE) Style format for all references. Your textbook may be listed as “Microbiology:  A Human Perspective Eugene W. Nester et.al. McGraw-Hill Publisher 7th edition/ 2012”.

Typical Case

What does a typical case look like?  Use the standard format for a patient presentation with chief complaint (CC), history of present illness (HPI), key physical exam details (PE), lab findings, signature signs, and any other important findings.

Description of the infectious agent

If it is a bacterium, how is it classified?  If it is a virus, what kind of nucleic acid does it have?  Does it target specific cellular types (tropism)? Does it form a spore? Is it aerobic? Is it intracellular?  Can it only be grown in a specific type of media? How is it distinguished from other members of the species? Does the pathogen have a significant history with humans or animals?

Epidemiology

What do you feel are the most important points about the epidemiology of the disease?  Incidence? Portal of entry? Source? Is it a normal microbiota component in the human body? Does it only occur in certain populations or certain geographical areas?  Is there a vector involved? What and who is the vector? Is it zoonotic? Does it appear seasonally? Are there currently any outbreaks of this pathogen? What is its ecological niche? Is there a reservoir? Are there currently any outbreaks or epidemics of disease from this pathogen?

Pathogenesis

What is the range of diseases caused by the agent?  What organs are affected? What symptoms might the patient have? What is the disease course?  Will the patient recover? Are there any long-term sequelae of infection? Latency?

Prophylaxis/Treatment

Is there an antitoxin? Specific antibiotics or a class of antibiotics that are used? Is there a vaccine available? Is treatment curative? Does infection make you immune? Is this immunity life-long? Is there drug resistance? Are there novel treatments?

Addenda

  1. The written case presentations are submitted through Blackboard in Unit 5 of the course. When you reach Unit 5, be sure to e-mail your instructor to receive a list of the Case Study selections.
  2. Please name the files in the following manner “Lastname Firstinitial CS Y”.  For example, if I am submitting a Case Study on tularemia, I would name the case study file “Frisardi M CS tularemia”.
  3. For the Case Study, you are asked to provide at least the information requested in the boxes. The boxed questions are suggestions for the minimum amount of information within each category. The more detailed the information, the better the study. You may consult your textbook, CDC, Google Scholar, NCBI, WebMD, etc. to find the information. For example, if you perform a Google search using the name of the pathogen and the word ‘vaccine’, you will find information on current vaccines (if any), those in clinical trials, vaccines used only in animals, etc. Be sure to provide two (2) discussion questions (as well as provide answers) with your case study.

Be sure to consider the directions carefully and include all the requested information (especially the two discussion questions with responses and scientific literature references).

Discussion questions you may choose from, choose 2:

  • 1.After receiving personalized genomic information, how might you use such knowledge with respect to your own health?
  • 2.Would a genetically tested family member providing children or other family members with information regarding genetic information (such as carrier status) be desirable?
  • 3.Might such testing be used as a prerequisite for employment, spousal selection, marriage, adoption, or IVF embryo implantation?
  • 4.What was the specific original intent of the intervention or procedure described in each of the papers and what was their unintended consequence(s)?
  • 5.Can you offer a solution or remediation for any or all of the resulting consequences from these interventions?
  • 6.What is the Hygiene Hypothesis (described in the Roduit paper) and how is it related to this discussion?

    CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY

    For the Case Study assignment the current pathogen selections may be requested by sending an email to your instructor! Assigned Case Study Problem: You will create a case study for a microbial infection selected from the current pathogen list. Your case study will be assembled using a detailed rubric (see below). Upon completion, you will submit your case study to the Blackboard gradebook in Unit 5 and to SafeAssign. How to create a case study The case studies are meant to be an enjoyable, interesting, and informative assignment. This is your chance to show that you understand the key teaching points about a microbe and to communicate these points in a written format. What information belongs in my case study? Have at least 3-4 key referenced points in each of the five areas shown in the Case Study Information Chart (see below). The left-hand heading in the chart suggests the type of information requested for the pathogen. Outlines can be in whatever form you prefer (bullets/charts/outlines/diagrams or a mix). Be sure to include two discussion questions (and provide complete answers) that you can incorporate into your case study (place them at the end of your write-up).

    Discussion Questions With Responses

    Two (2) discussion questions with responses and scientific literature references are required to complete the Case Study; These questions should help connect your case to other material in the course. For example, what other microbes have an A-B toxin? What other viruses are transmitted by fecal-oral spread? Is this pathogen a candidate for use as a biological weapon?

    How should I format my references for my case study? You will need references for all factual information in your case study. Pertinent references can be listed at the bottom of your outline in a small font. Your references must include at least two current peer- reviewed publications from the scientific literature post-2010. Use APA Sixth Edition Style format for all references (a PDF document is provided with the case study directions). For example, your text book in-text citation would look like this (Anderson, Salm, & Allen, 2016) and your textbook would be shown on your reference page as:

    Anderson, D., Salm, S., & Allen, D. (2016). Microbiology: A Human Perspective. New York: McGraw-Hill.

    Addenda 1. The written case presentations are submitted through Blackboard in Unit 5 of the course. When you reach Unit 5, be sure to e-mail your instructor to receive a list of the Case Study selections. 2. Please name the files in the following manner “LastnameFirstinitial CS Y”. For example, if I am submitting a Case Study on tularemia, I would name the case study file “Frisardi M CS tularemia”. This will ensure that you receive appropriate credit and that I will be able to find your Case Study document easily when grading.

    Be sure to provide the two (2) required discussion questions (as well as provide answers) with your case study. 3. Your library privileges from UNE give you access to all of the scientific literature so you are able to find references, abstracts, and complete articles in most cases. Your library privileges from UNE also give you access to the medical textbooks. Do this:

     Go to the UNE library page here: http://www.une.edu/library/e-resources

     Click on the “Databases by Title” under UNE Online Resources (the page will be here:

    http://www.une.edu/library/e-resources/databases-title )

     

    http://www.une.edu/library/e-resources
    http://www.une.edu/library/e-resources/databases-title

     

    CASE STUDY RUBRIC MICROBIOLOGY

     Scroll down to the Database “AccessMedicine” and click on it.

     You will see a log-in page and you may use your UNE e-mail log-in information.

     You should be seeing the AccessMedicine Search bar in the middle of the page. Type in your

    Case Study pathogen and get started.

    4. Finally, use Google Scholar. Make a noun string of your pathogen’s Latin name and a qualifying term like “vaccines” or “virulence factors”. The site is: http://scholar.google.com/ Be sure to consider the directions carefully and include all the requested information (especially the two discussion questions with responses and your scientific literature references). By the time you provide all information for your pathogen (including any figures, illustrations, maps) the case study will be several pages in length. Use APA format (or any format you are used to), in-text citations, and a reference list at the end.

    So: • Read the rubric carefully, provide all information, discussion questions/responses, and

    references in APA format. • Submit to SafeAssign to check that you have referenced everything and avoid any

    inadvertent plagiarism, then

    Remember that the Case Study is a teaching tool and you are, essentially, teaching me about the pathogen you selected.

ENTWISTLE REVIEW (CHAPTERS 8-11)

/in /by

ENTWISTLE REVIEW (CHAPTERS 8-11)INSTRUCTIONS

You will write a review of Entwistle chapters 8-11. This review must be 3-5 double-spaced pages

(not including the title and reference pages) and must be created in a Microsoft Word document.

Use the following guidelines to create your paper:

Entwistle, D. N. (2015). Integrative approaches to psychology and  Christianity: An introduction to worldview issues, philosophical  foundations, and models of integration (3rd ed.). Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock Publishers. ISBN: 9781498223485.

1. Provide a title page in current APA format including only your name, the paper title

(referring to the article title), and the institutional affiliation (Liberty University). Keep in

mind that current APA recommends that the title length not exceed 12 words. Use the

running head in the appropriate place and a page number on every page. Divide your

summary into sections with the following headings: Summary, Interaction, and

Application (review the current APA Manual for guidance on levels of headings if

needed).

2. Develop a summary of the main concepts from Entwistle, Chapters 8-11 in

approximately two pages. Be appropriately concise but also be adequately complete in

your ideas. Prove that you comprehend the main ideas by writing a clear and succinct

summary. The summary is not a commentary or listing of topics but rather a discussion of

the core ideas (main ideas) in the chapters. If you miss the main ideas, you lack an

understanding of the complete message of the chapters. In this paper, please make sure

that you identify all of the models that Entwistle discusses. Cite the book in-text

(Entwistle, 2015) at least once per paragraph and include page numbers for direct

quotations (Entwistle, 2015, p. 123). As a general rule of thumb, please limit your direct

quotations to no more than three short quotations per written page. As a graduate student,

you are encouraged to use your own voice and tell your reader what the authors said,

rather than using lengthy quotes. Your professor wants to read what your own summary

description of the text is.

3. In your own words, interact (in approximately 1 page) with the chapters. Appropriate

comments for this part of the paper should include, but are not limited to: your initial

response to the chapters, insights you gained from reading these chapters, other thoughts

you have that might further enhance the discussion of your article, and especially which

model best suits yourself and why. Your subjective comments in this section must be

clearly tied to main points from the article, not peripheral ideas.

4. In your final section (in approximately 1 page) write how you would apply the

information you have learned from this article to a particular counseling situation or to

yourself. You are encouraged to write about how this concept of Entwistle’s models will

impact how you will operate as a professional counselor in the future. Also, consider

other sources that you have encountered in your life up to this point that relate to

Entwistle’s ideas, such as other textbooks, journal articles, Scripture passages, and even

ethical codes such as those in the ACA Code of Ethics (2014) or the AACC Code of

Ethics (2014).

5. Please make sure to include a Reference page and properly cite the Entwistle (2015)

book, along with any other sources of information you cite in your paper.

Point values for the paper, as well as for writing/current APA, can be found on the grading

rubric. Remember that all papers in this program follow current APA format and are written per

APA Professional (not APA student paper) standards.
