Assignment: Application of Crisis Theory and Resiliency Theory to a Case Study
It is common for social workers to be presented with a crisis situation brought forth by clients, families, communities, and/or organizations. The ultimate goal is to restore the client to equilibrium. The five stages of the crisis are (1) the hazardous event, (2) the vulnerable stage, (3) the precipitating factor, (4) the state of active crisis, and (5) the reintegration or crisis resolution phase.
There are times when a social worker will use more than one theory to assist in conceptualizing the problem and intervention, particularly if the theories complement each other. For example, resiliency theory can be used alongside crisis theory.   To prepare: Review and focus on the same case study that you chose in Week 2.   (Case of Jake Levy)
Prepare- Submit a 1- to 2-page case write-up that addresses the following:
•Map the client’s crisis using the five stages of the crisis.
•Describe the client’s assets and resources (in order to understand the client’s resilience).
•Describe how you, the social worker, will intervene to assist the client to reach the reintegration stage of the crisis. Be sure that the intervention promotes resiliency.
•Evaluate how using crisis theory and resiliency theory together help in working with a client.

Answer question 1 and 2 and also post replies to the two discussion post.
1. In Texas, on his annual renewal form, an RN stated that he got a second DWI 9 months ago. What do you tell him will be the most likely decision as to his license? If you are not in the state of Texas (i am in Georgia), how would this license renewal situation be handled?
2. An RN with a current New York license has moved to Texas and has applied for a Texas license. On the application, she wrote that she was convicted of Medicaid fraud ($5,230.00) four years ago and will be off of probation in six months. What do you tell her will be the most likely decision as to a Texas license?
Discussion post1
Discussion # 3
COLLAPSE

In Texas, on his annual renewal form, an RN stated that he got a second DWI 9 months ago. What do you tell him will be the most likely decision as to his license? If you are not in the state of Texas, how would this license renewal situation be handled?
I would tell him that based on Texas law, “driving while intoxicated is a felony based on penal code 49.09” (Disciplinary Guidelines, n.d.). According to Texas “Sec. 301.452, a person is subject to denial of a license or to disciplinary action for a felony conviction.” (Occupations Code, n.d.) I would let him know that the board of nursing would require him to complete the terms of the DWI. Since he has a criminal history he would be subject to disciplinary actions by the board. The board factors in several items when determining what will happen to his license and that the fact that this is his second DWI in nine months and the fact that he has not learned from his mistakes that will be used against him. Since this is his second offence, per Texas law, he could be “fined up to $ 4000.00 and or jail for 30- 265 days” (Texas dwi law, n.d.). If he goes to prison, according to Texas Occupations Code § 53.021(b), “ an individual’s license privilege to practice nursing in Texas will be revoked” (Texas Board of Nursing Rules and Regulations, 2018) . In California where I live, a conviction involving alcohol or controlled substance must be reported to the Board of Registered Nurses. The Board will take disciplinary action, which may include “suspension, revocation, voluntary surrender, probation, or any other restriction” (California Board of Registered Nurses, n.d.).
An RN with a current New York license has moved to Texas and has applied for a Texas license. On the application, she wrote that she was convicted of Medicaid fraud ($5,230.00) four years ago and will be off of probation in six months. What do you tell her will be the most likely decision as to a Texas license?
I would tell her based on what I have read on the Texas Board of Nursing, she will not be getting her Texas license. The Texas Board of Nursing’s mission is to “protect the public’s health, safety, and welfare” (Disciplinary Sanctions, n.d.). The Texas board believes that “fraudulent behavior is a crime of moral turpitude” (Disciplinary Sanctions, n.d.). According to section 213.27 of Texas Administrative Code, fraud, theft and deception lack good professional character” (Disciplinary Sanctions, n.d.).

Consider the risks and benefits of not treating (drug treatment) a child because he or she is not correctly diagnosed with a disorder

/in /by

 
Consider the risks and benefits of not treating (drug treatment) a child because he or she is not correctly diagnosed with a disorder. 
Although some medications prescribed do not cure the disorder, they may benefit by reducing symptoms and behaviors that are associated with the disorder. For example, when prescribing medication for Autism, the disorder will not be cured, but may assist with various behavior symptoms and impairments that disrupt daily functioning amongst individuals (Advokat, Comaty and Julien, 2014, p. 520). Disorders that are left untreated may greatly impact development and various functioning that occurs in everyday life. Disorders related to aggression and negative behaviors if left untreated may cause symptoms to worsen and put the individual’s life as well as other individuals in danger. In addition, disorders such as depression if left untreated may cause symptoms to worsen and may even lead to suicide. Although various medications have been used to treat symptoms related to attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) it is essential to complete a thorough assessment and have an accurate diagnosis. ADHD symptoms vary amongst individuals and therefore it is essential for correct treatment plans to be implemented. If an incorrect diagnosis is made and a specific drug is prescribed, it may have adverse effects and not produce the desired outcome. Incorrect diagnosis and prescribing unnecessary medication may cause long lasting effects, which can be damaging and irreversible. Therefore, it is essential to monitor and ensure the desired effects are being achieved. The risks of drug treatment must be weighed and compared to the benefits of using the drug (Advokat, Comaty and Julien 2014, p. 522). Implementing a drug treatment plan should be well evaluated and continuously monitored.
Over diagnosing, underdiagnosing, or misdiagnosing of childhood psychiatric illnesses does occur. Unfortunately, this can lead to overmedicating, under medicating, or not medicating at all when it would produce benefits. Illnesses that are misdiagnosed and left untreated can actually cause damage and some of the damaging effects may be on brain development. According to Advokat, Comaty & Julien (2014) mental illnesses that are not recognized and not treated causes potential for emotional, social, and academic struggles during critical times in their life (p. 507). For example, ADHD that is misdiagnosed and left untreated may cause continued symptoms related to behavior, attention, and cognition damaging daily functioning and develop

professional role as the I/O psychologist and your responsibility to the client as defined.

/in /by

 

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read the Fisher (2009) article, “Replacing ‘Who is the Client?’ With a Different Ethical Question” and the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct: Including 2010 Amendments (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. paying special attention to standard 3.11.
Informed consent is an important ethical component of research and practice. It is not, however, always sufficient or appropriate for consulting, program evaluation, job effectiveness assessment, or other psychological services delivered to or through organizations because it does not always address all the necessary elements of a given situation. These facts do not negate our responsibility as psychology professionals to inform clients and those who may be impacted by our services. In the discussion you will address these issues through the following case study.
You are an industrial organizational (I/O) psychologist and have been hired to evaluate a company’s “Work From Home” policy to see if it has increased company production. In addition to a review of the employee records, the evaluation needs to include interviews with supervisors and employees on the value and limits of the policy. Since informed consent as typically considered in clinical, counseling, and research settings will not be sufficient in this instance, you will need to inform all supervisors and employees about your services.
In your initial post, briefly analyze and define who the client is in this case study. Assess your professional role as the I/O psychologist and your responsibility to the client as defined. Apply the APA’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. to this scenario, specifically addressing what information should be provided to all supervisors and employees. Explain how you would disseminate this information and ensure understanding amongst all stakeholders. Elaborate on how you would establish trust with the employees, protect employee identities, and ensure the results are used in an ethical manner.
