Assignment 1: LASA 2: Treating the Substance Abuser and his Family Presentation
Harvey is married and has 2 teenage children. Harvey has been heavily drinking on a regular basis for the past 10 years.  In the past his wife often covered for him with his job, and usually made excuses for him with his children and his friends. Harvey has not attended his son’s baseball games this year, and he missed his daughter’s performance in the school play due to having been passed out from drinking. At this time, he is at risk for losing his job due to excessive absences, and he was recently arrested for a DUI. Harvey has realized that his drinking is adversely affecting all aspects of his life and he is ready to quit.

Many forms of therapy have been developed to treat a wide array of problems. These marines who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, together with community mental health volunteers, are part of the Ocean Therapy program at Camp Pendleton, a program in which learning to surf is combined with group discussions. The program helps vets recover, especially vets who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Your emotional reactions are the result of your thoughts about the situation rather than the situation itself. For instance, if you consistently interpret events and emotions around the themes of loss and defeat, then you are likely to be depressed. Through therapy, you can learn more logical ways to interpret situations.

Leadership and Management: What Is the Difference?

/in /by

 

Discussion1: Characteristics, Challenges, and Opportunities of Evidence-Based Design
Consider the following quotation: “Often times, potential users of research knowledge are unconnected to those who do the research, and consequently a huge gap ensues between research knowledge and practice behaviors” (Barwick, M., Boudell, K., Stasiulis, E., Ferguson, H., Blase, K., & Fixsen, D., 2005). Social workers must work to close the gap perceived by the authors of this quote.
In your previous research course, you addressed the concept of evidence-based practice. However, it is important not to fall into a habit of using the term “evidence-based practice” without a clear understanding of its meaning. In particular, it is important to understand what standards of evidence must exist to classify an intervention or a program as evidence based. In this assignment, you are to clarify your understanding of the nature of evidence-based practice and analyze the challenges and opportunities for implementing evidence-based practice in your current social work practice.
To prepare for this Discussion, read the Learning Resources that provide information about different aspects of the evidence-based practice concept. As you read, consider how evidence-based practice or evidence- based programs might be used in a social work agency where you work or where you had a practicum experience.
· Post a description of the distinguishing characteristics of evidenced-based practice. 
· Then provide an evaluation of factors that might support or impede your efforts in adopting evidence-based practice or evidence-based programs.

Discussion 2: Leadership and Management: What Is the Difference?

Leadership and management in social agencies are about starting things up, getting them done, and keeping them moving.
—Armand Lauffer
Leadership and management are two terms that are used interchangeably but represent different roles that have different functions. Understanding the differences and similarities is essential for social work administrators as they develop leadership strategies within organizations. Understanding the functions associated with leadership and management roles can influence how social workers supervise and work with colleagues in administrative practice. As you prepare for this Discussion, consider how your understanding of leadership and management roles might affect you when you assume a supervisory position.
· Post an analysis of the similarities and differences of leadership and management roles as they relate to human services organizations. 
· Include how your understanding of these roles may affect you as you assume a supervisory position.

• What is the role of the anterior cingulate in audiovisual processing and the symptoms of brain injury to this area?

/in /by

As an alternative, you may use the Internet to find information about the Stroop test, such as a demo video or articles that describe how it works and the various results people who have taken the test have experienced.

After you have finished the two tasks listed above or conducted your own research on the Stroop test, respond to the following. Use the headings below to organize this part of your paper.

1.Based on your own experience with the Stroop test or the research you conducted about it, explain which of the two tasks above would be harder and why.

2.Briefly explain the role of the anterior cingulate in audiovisual processing and the symptoms of brain injury to this area. Use the Capella library to research the material and support your answers.

3.Discuss whether a person with dyslexia or a brain injury would have more or less trouble with this task. Comment on how someone would do on this task if he or she did not speak English. What other observations did you have?

Below are the required headings for Part A of this assessment. These should stand alone and should not be incorporated into the content of the answer:

  • Which task would be harder? Why?
• What is the role of the anterior cingulate in audiovisual processing and the symptoms of brain injury to this area? • Discuss whether a person with dyslexia or a brain injury would have more or less trouble with this task.
• How would someone do on this task if he or she did not speak English?
• Other observations.

Part B

The blind spot is the area on the retina without photoreceptors. Therefore, the part of an image that falls on this region will not be seen. It is in this region that the optic nerve exits the eye on its way to the brain. Humans may use different parts of their brain to discriminate objects from people. In particular, we may have specialized neurons for recognizing faces.

For this part of the assessment, answer the following questions. Use the Capella library to research the material and support your answers. Format your paper by using the questions as headings; do not incorporate the questions into the content of the answers.

1.What is the problem of final integration of visual information?

2.What kind of problem(s) does this present regarding our understanding of how the brain works?

3.Is this a problem that needs to be solved?

4.What research has been conducted into this issue? Are there any recent papers in the scientific literature that address 
this issue?

Additional Requirements

  • Written Communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
  • APA Formatting: Resources and citations should be formatted according to APA (6th edition) style and formatting.
  • Font and Font Size: Times New Roman, 12-point font, and double spaced. Use Microsoft Word to complete the
assessment.
  • Length: Write a minimum of 4 pages, excluding the title page and reference page.

“To become wise, Confuscious said, “By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the most bitter.”

  1. Start the discussion by reflecting on your knowledge level of nursing at the beginning of the semester and what you now understand about nursing.
  2. Then please discuss important things learned in this course that have contributed to your “wisdom” and will continue to help your growth as a nurse.
  3. Also, include what you specifically enjoyed about the course and what, if anything, you would change about the course.”

Question 1: State you did not know much at all, just what you saw in movies, and that now you have a much deeper understanding of what it means to be a nurse when it comes to responsibility and competence.
Question 2: Discuss different cultures and how each views health differently, and how since you plan do be a nurse in the city (nyc) how useful that wisdom will be.
Question 3: You enjoyed engaging with other students on the discussion board, because it was great way to obtain perspectives from your peers in the same field of study. One thing you would add, would be interviewing a healthcare professional to gain an understanding of the medical field

Explain the CRAAP test

Question description1] Explain the CRAAP test – what is it? What do each of the letters stand for? (Briefly explain what each term means).

2] Why does it matter whether the sources we use in our papers are good and reliable – or not? Why can’t we just use anything we find on the internet?

3] Is Wikipedia a reliable source for college papers – and why or why not?

4] What does it mean if a source of information you are using is “peer reviewed”, and why is this good?

5] Why might you want to question the reliabillity of a source that is self-published?

6 – 9] Explain 4 of the following “logical fallacies” and give examples of each:

Slippery Slope, Red Herring, Non-Sequiter, Post Hoc, Bandwagon, Ad Hominem, Hasty Generalization, Strawman, Black and White Fallacy

10] I am a current nursing student doing research on treatments for breast cancer. I find an article in The New England Journal of Medicine, written by a famous cancer doctor, dated August 1985. Does this sound like a good source – and why or why not?

11] I am worried about how much red meat my husband eats. He goes to a website for the National Beef Council and tells me not to worry because the website clearly states that eating red meat is great for one’s health. Should I be convinced – and why or why not?
