Evaluate, in detail, the pros and cons of using DSM diagnoses as the primary classification structure for clients with substance use disorders.

/in /by
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) was originally developed in 1952 to help doctors and counselors across the country standardize the classifications of mental disorders in the American population. Throughout the intervening years, the DSM has gone through several revisions, establishing specific diagnostic criteria for each disorder listed, and revising disorders as more was understood about their origins, symptoms, and treatments. The DSM III (1980) marks the point when substance use disorders were moved to a category of their own, separate from personality disorders. Today, the current DSM lists the diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders.
While these standardized diagnostic practices have been in use for more than sixty years, there are some pros and cons in the use of the DSM diagnoses of substance use disorders in the assessment of clients.
Complete the following requirements:

  • 1. Evaluate, in detail, the pros and cons of using DSM diagnoses as the primary classification structure for clients with substance use disorders.
  • 2. Examine the assessment types used to diagnose clients with substance use. Choose two of these assessments that would not only help to diagnose the substance use disorder, but would also assess the whole person. Explain them fully.
  • 3. Compare and contrast the two assessments chosen regarding how they will evaluate the whole person and not just the specific DSM diagnostic criteria.
  • 4. Justify the value of using assessments that evaluate the whole person rather than just the specific DSM diagnostic criteria.

Use scholarly resources to support your work.
Write a 3–4 page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of resources.

Identify the incorrect medication/drug classification/treatment and explain why it is incorrect.
This case will focus specifically on endocrine and neural drug treatment.

Prompt: Consider the following scenario: Bill, age 70, came to the examination accompanied by his wife. Bill was tall and cheerful, greeted the doctor warmly, and then started walking around the room a bit until he realized he was supposed to sit down.

As the physician asked Bill questions for the history, he answered some, and smiled at all of the questions. Bill’s wife, Cecilia, filled in the answers that Bill was not sure of. Both Bill and Cecilia seemed to be used to her supportive role in helping Bill remember things.

Bill had retired as an accountant two years earlier. In the period since retirement, Bill had reached the point that he could not balance his checkbook. Cecilia handled that task, as well as handling money and change while shopping. This change in Bill’s use of numbers was so sudden, she said, that she wondered if something could be done to help Bill.

Bill smiled at both Cecilia and the doctor, and shrugged his shoulders.

After doing a thorough physical exam, a psychometric evaluation, and a cranial MRI, the final diagnosis was Alzheimer’s disease.

The doctor ordered some medications specifically for this disease. An anticholinergic was prescribed to cure the disease. The physician also ordered vitamins B1, B6, B12, and E. Nutritional support, physical exercises, cognitive activities, safety precautions, and other suggestions were recommended.

In a short paper, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Identify the incorrect medication/drug classification/treatment and explain why it is incorrect.
What drug classification would you use instead? Why?
Provide an example of a generic medication from each drug classification. How would each of the medications/treatments in the scenario act on the patient’s body?

RESPONSE 1
Respond to at least two colleagues by doing all of the following:

  • Offer an analysis of their evaluations and subsequent      recommendation. Note both strengths and areas that could be improved. 
  • Identify areas where your own original recommendations or      evaluation was similar to or different from your colleagues’ original      evaluation and explain why.

Colleague 1: Kamran
Chris the social worker and her team of caseworkers are using a strategy that blends elements of geriatric case management with short-term treatment methods, they are primarily using the solution-focused and task-centered models. As part of their continuous practice, the team regularly conducts practice evaluations.  To evaluate its practice approach, the team used a multiple-baseline, single-subject design. Each of the full-time case managers on the team selected one client new to the caseload to participate in the study. The research project is explained to clients by their respective case manager and sign informed consent paperwork in order to participate. As part of the practice process, the case manager uses clinical rating scales that are adapted from the task-centered model. At the beginning of each client meeting, the case manager and client collaboratively evaluate how well the practice steps or tasks that are undertaken by the client and/or case manager were completed using a 10-point clinical scale. While concurrently, they evaluated changes to the respective client problems, also using a 10-point clinical scale (Plummer Makris & Brocksen, 2014b).

Strategic HR Management Unit 3

Strategic HR Management Unit 3

Question descriptionUnit 3 assignment

Read the Discussion Case at the end of Chapter 7 regarding County General Hospital and write a 2-3 page APA style paper addressing the questions found in the Rubric below

One of the most difficult obstacles encountered by the hospital is finding and retaining qualified nurses. The annual turnover rate among nurses is nearly 100 percent. A few of the nurses are long-term employees who are either committed to County General or attached to the community. Employment patterns suggest that many of the nurses who are hired stay for only about six months. In fact, County General often appears to be a quick stop between graduation from college and a better job.

Many who leave acknowledge that they were contacted by another hospital that offered them more money. Exit interviews with nurses who are leaving similarly suggest that low pay is a concern. Another concern is the lack of social atmosphere for young nurses. Nurses just finishing college, who are usually not married, complain that the community does not provide them enough oppor- tunity to meet and socialize with others their age.

Hospital administrators are afraid that paying higher wages will cause finan- cial disaster. Big insurance companies and Medicaid make it difficult for them to increase the amount they charge patients. However, the lack of stability in the nursing staff has caused some noticeable problems. Nurses sometimes appear to be ignorant of important hospital procedures. Doctors also com- plain that they spend a great deal of time training nurses to perform proce- dures, only to see those nurses take their new skills someplace else.

Questions:

1. What is the HR strategy pursued by County General (chose one of the four HR strategies outlined in Chapter 2 of your text)? Differentiation or cost reduction? Internal or external labor orientation? Describe the reasons for your selection.

2. Turnover is high at almost every facility where nurses are employed. What programs do you suggest County General implement to decrease turnover? Suggest at least two programs and be specific.

3. What benefits would the various stakeholders (e.g., customers, employees, management, and the community) gain by reducing turnover?

Describe an intervention you would implement to promote resiliency.

/in /by

 
socw 6060 Dis-1
Social workers strive to make informed decisions about the interventions they implement. These decisions should be driven by what the research data say. As a result, social workers have been called to systematically evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions they implement. A common way to evaluate interventions is to use a single-subject design. This involves monitoring an outcome for an intervention implemented for one client. After a social worker works with the client to determine the outcome to be measured, the following steps to the evaluation might look like this:

  • Administer the instrument before the intervention is implemented
  • Implement the intervention
  • Administer the same instrument, after a specified time period
  • Monitor to determine if there have been any changes in the outcome

In this Discussion, you use the lens of resiliency theory when reflecting on a case from your fieldwork, and then you consider how to measure the effectiveness of a possible intervention.
To prepare, read this article listed in the Learning Resources:

  • Smith-Osborne, A., & Whitehill Bolton K. (2013). Assessing resilience: A review of measures across the life course. Journal of Evidence-Based Social Work, 10(2), 111–126. doi:10.1080/15433714.2011.597305

Post:

  • Reflect on your fieldwork experience, and identify a case where it would have been beneficial to employ resiliency theory. Describe the case in 2 sentences.
  • Describe the presenting problem in one concise sentence.
  • Describe an intervention you would implement to promote resiliency.
  • Identify an instrument from the Smith-Osborne and Whitehill Bolton’s article that would be appropriate when employing a single-subject design to evaluate how effective the intervention is in increasing the client’s level of resiliency.
  • Explain why you selected the instrument.
    • In other words, why would the instrument be appropriate? (Consider the age of the client and for whom the instrument was designed, how feasible it would be to administer the instrument such as cost, time to administer it, et.
