The DTAs (Decision tree assignment) are based on interactive case studies that allow you to explore pharmaceutical options and make decisions centered on the client’s needs.  For each DTA, you will be asked to make three decisions concerning the medication to prescribe to a client in the assigned case study.  At each decision point, you must carefully evaluate all three options before clicking on your decision and moving throughout the rest of the exercise.  
The rationale for your decisions must be supported with a minimum of five academic resources from the primary and secondary literature. While you may use the course text to support your rationale, it will not count toward the resource requirement.

Instructions for Decision Tree Assignments

I
ntroduction to the case (1 page)

· You must briefly summarize the case in your own words.
· You must also highlight the specific patient factors that will impact your decision making when prescribing medication for this patient. To clearly identify patient-specific factors, please begin your sentence with, “The patient-specific factors I will consider as I make my decisions are…”  Beginning your sentence with this phrase will help me recognize it and will ensure that you get credit for it.  You will not get credit for simply mentioning patient-specific factors within your case summary; they must be clearly identified and revisited.
· Please note that background information on the diagnosis, diagnostic criteria, diagnostic testing, or epidemiology is NOT required.  It is assumed that you know this; therefore, you should devote yourself to summarizing the case and highlighting specific patient factors that will impact your decisions rather than discussing the aforementioned items.  After all, you only have one page (or less) to cover the required information.
· Be aware that the writing template and grading rubric require your introduction to end with ONE sentence that is your thesis statement.  See the writing template for format and the grading rubric for details on how you are graded on this statement.

Body of your document

· The body of your document should contain three sections that are labeled as follows:  decision point 1, decision point 2, and decision point 3.  Each section should be one page and address the topics below.  In your writing, you should be concise, clear, and thorough.  Pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and specific patient factors must be considered in your writing in order to get full credit.

Decision Point 1 (1 page)

·
· Which decision did you select?
· Why did you select this decision? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.
· Why did you not select the other two options provided in the exercise? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.
· What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources (including the primary literature).
· Explain how ethical considerations may impact your treatment plan and communication with patients. Be specific and provide examples. *In order to receive full credit here, your ethical considerations must be clearly identified as such.  You can identify them in one of two ways:  (1)  You can identify them within each “decision” section.  For example, “My ethical considerations are….”  (2)  Or you can identify them separately in a new section labeled “Ethical Considerations.”  This new section should be inserted after the section entitled Decision Point 3 and before the Conclusion section.  Either one of these options is acceptable.

Decision Point 2 (1 page)

·
· Why did you select this decision? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.
· Why did you not select the other two options provided in the exercise? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.
· What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources (including the primary literature).
· Explain how ethical considerations may impact your treatment plan and communication with patients. Be specific and provide examples.  *See Decision #1 for more information.

Decision Point 3 (1 page)

·
· Why did you select this decision? Be specific and support your response with clinically relevant and patient-specific resources, including the primary literature.

Textese, or in other words text speak, has led to an ongoing debate on whether it is destroying the English language as we know it. Every turn we take on the streets teenagers are ‘tapping’ away on their phones. Do you think textese is appropriate for business communication, or only for specific areas? If so, what areas?

 Textese, or in other words text speak, has led to an ongoing debate on whether it is destroying the English language as we know it. Every turn we take on the streets teenagers are ‘tapping’ away on their phones. According to a study by The Neilson Company, an average teenager sends over 3000 texts a day. Texting has become a growing worldwide habit. Textese includes abbreviated words, a combination of letters and numbers, and completely new words that create ultra-concise and meaningful messages. There are two sides to the argument; is textese ‘vandalizing’ the English language or is beneficial to education? Text lingo has been seen as a new age of communication and an innovative way of manipulating language. In David Crystal’s “Txtng: the Gr8 Db8??, he states that texting is not as deviant as portrayed and that people become better communicators than we think. With the world becoming focused on technological advancements and the younger generations becoming more tech savvy, there is this need to be faster communicators. When texting first started, peoplehad to be more creative in their language use so that they could say what they want in the allotted number of letters. So began the dropping of vowels and combining of letters and numbers to create messages such as: “ Wot R U doin 2nite?” Nevertheless, the message still holds meaning and some can still decipher it and understand what is being said. English has been changing for as long as we know, Shakespeare himself has manipulated the language to suit his own needs so why are people becoming infuriated when teens simplify their language when texting? Teachers largely are the ones that have a problem with text lingo. It hasbeen noted that the majority of writing students do is via text messaging and naturally this seeps into their writing assignments for school. It is not entirely a conscious effort, but with the constant use of abbreviated words, students do not notice they use them in a formal piece of writing. There is no harm in using textese in texting and chatting situations, as it is a convenient way of getting the message across. However, we have to understand that there are places where it is inappropriate to use it, such as in formal situations.
There are many articles on the internet claiming that the English language is “doomed,” in that it is eventually going to be either replaced or heavily modified by textese. These claims seem to be based on the idea that textese will dominate English simply due to the volume/popularity of usage. Also, there are assertions that it is more efficient and less confusing to use written text that is phonetically equivalent to spoken words. Some examples:
– to/two/too
– there/their/they’re
– lead/lead (you figure that one out)
S
Are you fluent in textese?
Do you think textese is appropriate for business communication, or only for specific areas? If so, what areas?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of communicating with textese?
Have you ever been texting while driving? If so, please identify the make and model of your vehicle, along with the license plate so I will know who to avoid (just kidding, don’t do that last part).
