How might an interdisciplinary approach improve the author’s treatment of the issue?

Select an article on a controversial public policy issue from a major publication such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, or another periodical or newspaper.  (avoid, for example, politically-motivated sources, cable news, your uncle’s Facebook feedback) Ask these questions of the author of the article, being careful to provide “in text” evidence to support your analysis:

1. Does the author place the issue in a broad context? How?
2. Does the author suffer from tunnel vision?
3. Does the author discount or ignore other perspectives on the issue?
4. Does the author propose a creative solution to the issue?
5. Does the author address the issue comprehensively?
6. How might an interdisciplinary approach improve the author’s treatment of the issue?

Based on your self-assessment and theory of nursing practice, develop three to four (3–4) measurable goals and objectives for this practicum experience.

Assignment 2: Clinical Skills Self-Assessment

Before embarking on any professional or academic activity, it is important to understand the background, knowledge, and experience you bring to it. You might ask yourself, “What do I  already know? What do I  need to know? And what do I  want to know?” This critical self-reflection is especially important for developing clinical skills such as those for advanced practice nursing.

The PMHNP Clinical Skills List and PMHNP Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form provided in the Learning Resources can be used to celebrate your progress throughout your practicum and identify skills gaps. The skills list covers all necessary skills you should demonstrate during your practicum experiences.

To Prepare

· Download the PMHNP Clinical Skills Self-Assessment Form to complete this Assignment. (See attached Word Document)

· For this Assignment (just as you did in PRAC 6645), you assess where you are now in your clinical skill development and make plans for this practicum. Specifically, you will identify strengths and opportunities for improvement regarding the required practicum skills. In this practicum experience, when developing your goals and objectives, be sure to keep assessment and diagnostic reasoning in mind. As you complete your self-assessment this week, you may wish to look back over your self-assessments from prior practicums to reflect on your growth. The assessment should look better and show progress from previous course and the goals need to be different.

Please review the Clinical Skill Self-Assessment done for previous course.

What Is the Best Type of Marketing Research?

What Is the Best Type of Marketing Research?

Many market researchers have their favorite research approaches or techniques, though different researchers often have different preferences. Some researchers maintain that the only way to really learn about consumers or brands is through in-depth, qualitative research. Others contend that the only legitimate and defensible form of marketing research uses quantitative measures.

Take a position: The best marketing research is quantitative in nature versus the best marketing research is qualitative in nature.

The Equifax Incident

This paper centers on the Equifax incident of 2017. Here is an excerpt:

“On September 7, 2017, US credit reporting company Equifax publicly announced that it had been the target of a cyberattack and that the personal information of over 145 million customers – including Social Security Numbers, driver’s license numbers, email addresses, and credit card numbers – had been stolen. The announcement sparked a massive backlash, as consumers and public officials questioned how a company that managed sensitive personal information for over 800 million individuals could have allowed such a breach to happen. It became apparent that Equifax had been criticized for a lack of cybersecurity preparedness.

The case discusses the events leading up to the massive data breach at Equifax, one of the three U.S. credit reporting companies, the organizational and governance issues that contributed to the breach, and the consequences of the breach. The case supplement provides details of how Equifax recovered from the breach and changes the company made. On September 7, 2017, Equifax announced that the personal information of over 140 million consumers had been stolen from its network in a catastrophic data breach, including people’s Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, email addresses, and credit card information. The announcement sparked a massive backlash, as consumers and public officials questioned how a company that managed sensitive personal information about over 800 million individuals could have such insufficient security measures. It came to light that Equifax had been aware of critical faults in its cybersecurity infrastructure, policies, and procedures for years but had failed to address them. Equifax’s public response also received criticism. CEO Richard Smith and numerous other executives resigned, and Equifax was left facing dozens of lawsuits, government investigations, and the potential for new regulation.”1

Overview

Read the Equifax Case Study. Given your knowledge of the Equifax case, develop a risk scenario accounting for threat agent, threat, vulnerability, and possible event characteristics, such as possible time, location, and other circumstances. Feel free to make up additional data if you choose, but ensure you have already exhausted information from the Equifax case. Ensure your paper addresses the following questions:

· Who are the stakeholders affected by this risk scenario?

· What approach did you use to develop the scenario, top-down or bottom-up? Choose only one and justify your choice.

· Which of the following did your scenario address: asset, process, or organizational structure? You can address one, two, or all of them.

· Evaluate and categorize risk with respect to technology; with respect to individuals, and in the enterprise, and recommend appropriate responses. [NSA SRA 3]

what psychological variables have been linked to help seeking and how might this be connected to race/ethnicity. 

Excellent discussion.  For your topic, you may want to narrow it down a bit so you can develop a testable hypothesis.  I think you are closest with reasons why some parents seek care- if you utilize a psychological construct to test.  Since the parents are the ones in charge of getting their child help, I’d explore the mental health help seeking literature- what psychological variables have been linked to help seeking and how might this be connected to race/ethnicity.

What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis?

Week 3: Mood Disorders

While most people experience the sadness or grief at some point in their lives, it is typically of short duration and may occur in response to some type of loss. Clinically significant depression, on the other hand, is more disruptive and serious. It lasts longer and has more symptoms that interfere with daily functioning.

This week, you will explore the differences among mood disorders such as depressive, bipolar, and related disorders, and you will examine challenges in properly differentiating among them for the purpose of accurately rendering a diagnosis. You also will look at steps that can be taken to increase the likelihood that patients who are diagnosed with these disorders benefit from treatment and refrain from physically harming themselves or others.

Assignment: Assessing and Diagnosing Patients With Mood Disorders

Accurately diagnosing depressive disorders can be challenging given their periodic and, at times, cyclic nature. Some of these disorders occur in response to stressors and, depending on the cultural history of the client, may affect their decision to seek treatment. Bipolar disorders can also be difficult to properly diagnose. While clients with a bipolar or related disorder will likely have to contend with the disorder indefinitely, many find that the use of medication and evidence-based treatments have favorable outcomes.

To Prepare:

· Review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the insights they provide about assessing and diagnosing mood disorders.

· Download the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Template, which you will use to complete this Assignment. Also review the Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation Exemplar to see an example of a completed evaluation document.

· By Day 1 of this week, select a specific video case study to use for this Assignment from the Video Case Selections choices in the Learning Resources. View your assigned video case and review the additional data for the case in the “Case History Reports” document, keeping the requirements of the evaluation template in mind.

· Consider what history would be necessary to collect from this patient.

· Consider what interview questions you would need to ask this patient.

· Identify at least three possible differential diagnoses for the patient.

For the assignment:

Complete and submit your Comprehensive Psychiatric Evaluation, including your differential diagnosis and critical-thinking process to formulate a primary diagnosis. Incorporate the following into your responses in the template:

· Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis? What is the duration and severity of their symptoms? How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?

· Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?

· Assessment: Discuss the patient’s mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses? Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses with supporting evidence, listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority. Compare the DSM-5-TR diagnostic criteria for each differential diagnosis and explain what DSM-5 criteria rules out the differential diagnosis to find an accurate diagnosis. Explain the critical-thinking process that led you to the primary diagnosis you selected. Include pertinent positives and pertinent negatives for the specific patient case.

· Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this client if you could conduct the session over? Also include in your reflection a discussion related to legal/ethical considerations (demonstrate critical thinking beyond confidentiality and consent for treatment!), health promotion and disease prevention taking into consideration patient factors (such as age, ethnic group, etc.), PMH, and other risk factors (e.g., socioeconomic, cultural background, etc.).

· Include an introduction, purpose statement, reflection, and conclusion
