2. Critically evaluate the relevance and application of research and policy to social work practice.

3. Critically analyse comparative approaches to service provision in one other country.

4. Evaluate research findings in relation to policy and practice.

To be successful you will need to;

• Ensure that you discuss one of the key themes which are relevant to your policy-The key themes are Cultural Competence, Social Justice and Empowerment.

• Include and apply relevant theory.

• Discuss the origins of the policy particularly thinking about social, media and political influences.

• Evaluate the origins of the research that informed your chosen policy. Consider why the research was undertaken, who conducted it, if it was in response to pressure from social groups, if it was undertaken to repeal or replace existing policy.

• Clearly identify your international policy, make sure that you talk about that countries approach to welfare provisions overall and consider what policies they have in place which most closely match your chosen policy. Discuss if the international appro.

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in a case study

Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided
Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient’s differential diagnosis and justify why you selected each

To Prepare

• By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
• Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP Notes have specific data included in every patient case.

With regard to the case study you were assigned:

• Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide.
• Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient.
• Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient’s condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
• Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.

Analyze and assess the communication dynamics of an organization through the completion of a communication audit

Apply communication theories to organizational communication challenges
Analyze and assess the communication dynamics of an organization through the completion of a communication audit

What are the communication challenges organizations face today? Once they are identified, how does an organization overcome these challenges and improve their communication flow?
In this three-part assignment, you will first conduct a communication audit to assess organizational communication within an organization of your choice. A communication audit is a method of research that reveals how your stakeholders view your organization’s communication methods and effectiveness.
We will provide you with a survey (attached) that you will use to measure this perception, and you will administer it in your organization. You will then analyze and synthesize the results of the data obtained from your audit efforts and select one critical communication challenge in your organization, conduct research and develop suggestions for addressing that specific communication challenge. Last, you will present the result of your audit, your research, and suggestions for improvement in a presentation.
Your goals for this assignment:
Administer the communication audit in an organization you work for or have access to such as a school or church organization.
Analyze and synthesize the results of the data from the communication audit.
Based on the communication audit identify one critical communication challenge that needs to be addressed within your organization.
Create and deliver a presentation that a) provides the results of your audit with b) suggestions for improvement based on the data obtained from the audit and the literature on organizational communication.
DIRECTIONS
Assume you are the Director of Human Resources at your chosen organization. You are tasked with conducting a communication audit and presenting the results to leadership. Your goal in conducting the communication audit is to identify one main communication challenge within an organization that needs to be addressed. YOU MUST CONDUCT YOUR OWN ORIGINAL SURVEY.
You will complete the following tasks:
1. Conduct a communication audit survey (See attached)
In order to obtain valid results, you want to survey between 8 to 10 people.
You may print out the survey and distribute it in person for completion, or you may administer it online, for example, using Survey Monkey or Google Forms.
The survey includes questions that tap into five different areas of organizational communication: (1) Receiving information from others, (2) Sending information to others, (3) Sources of information, (4) Timeliness of information, and (5) Channels of communication.
Within these five areas of organizational communication, identify one major area of concern to address based on the responses from the survey.
2. You will then analyze and synthesize the results of the data obtained from your audit effort and create your Audit Report using the format below.
3. Based on the communication audit identify ONE critical communication challenge that needs to be addressed within your organization. Research the scholarly literature for recommendations about how the organization can address this issue.
4. Create and deliver an Audit Report in a PPT presentation. The report should include the results of your audit and suggestions for improvement based on the data obtained from the audit supported with relevant literature on organizational communication.

Miscommunication- read essay and explain how this misunderstanding could have been avoided

SCENARIO – Lois, who is in the last stages of breast cancer, was recently admitted into a hospice program. Her husband Henry, is relieved to have a hospice nurse come into their home and help with the care of his wife. After Lois had been receiving care for a week, Henry asked when he should take Lois into the hospital out-patient department for more chemotherapy. The hospice nurse said, “I thought that you understood that since treatments would no longer help Lois and she would ultimately die, that she would not receive any more treatments once she entered the Hospice program.” Henry said he did not understand this and insisted that he wanted everything done to save Lois.

Instructions:

Read the scenario above and then, answer the following questions:

How could this misunderstanding have been avoided?

What discussions should Lois and Henry have had with each other before Lois went into the hospice program?

What could hospice programs do to better inform the general public of their purpose?

Mr. K is a 32-year-old man who was found in his apartment at 2 AM, babbling incoherently and apparently experiencing hallucinations. His friends report that he had been to a party that night and, since the recent breakup of his marriage and loss of his job, he tends to overdo it at social events. They report that during the evening, he consumed very little alcohol but did take a small pill given to him by another partygoer. Paramedics could find no puncture marks and no powder in or around the nose, but his blood pressure was elevated, as was his body temperature. He appeared dehydrated and agitated.

Discussion Questions

Based on patient history, reports from his friends, and the signs and symptoms noted by the paramedics, identify substances that Mr. K might have consumed.

Based on patient history, discuss the social factors that predisposed him to substance abuse.

Discuss any additional problems that he might encounter if he continues his present course of substance abuse.
