While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all.

/in /by
In late adulthood, most people engage in a process of life review. They recall their life histories and recount them to others as well. As people review the important events from their lives, they create a picture of their lives as an integrated whole. The last stage of Erikson’s theory is called ego integrity versus despair. As people complete their life reviews, they may feel a sense of integrity. This means they look back upon their lives with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Others may have a sense of despair. They often feel unfulfilled and have regret about choices they have made or events that have occurred.
Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities.
Use your module readings and the Argosy University online library resources to research the process of life review.
Conduct your own life review and then respond to the following:

  • What do you look forward to about getting older?
  • What would you most like to look back on?
  • How do you view Erikson’s stage of integrity versus despair as it relates to your own life?

Support your arguments with research, citing sources.
Write your initial response in 150–200 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

Research Proposal

The written research proposal will be created based on a narrowly defined aspect of the topic selected in Week One. A research proposal is a detailed plan for a specific study to be conducted at a future time. It is the document which potential researchers typically submit to an institutional review board (IRB) for ethical review and approval, and/or to funding agencies to secure financial support for a research effort. Because it is a plan for research which has not yet been conducted, the Methods section should be written in the future tense and should not contain any hypothetical results. The paper must address all of the components required in the Methods section of a research proposal. The following actions must be completed.

  • State the research question and/or hypothesis.
  • Briefly compare the characteristics of the major research paradigms used in previous studies on the chosen topic. Introduce the specific approach (qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods), research design, sampling strategy, data collection procedures, and data analysis techniques to be used in this study. Provide a short explanation as to why the selected procedures are more feasible than other alternatives for the research topic.
  • Describe any relevant variables, measures, and statistical tests.
  • Apply ethical principles and professional standards to the proposed psychological research. Provide an analysis of any ethical issues that may arise and explain how these issues will be resolved.

The following headings for the required sections and subsections must appear in the paper. In accordance with APA style, all references listed must be cited in the text of the paper.

  • Introduction
    • Introduce the research topic, explain why it is important, and present an appropriately and narrowly defined research question and/or hypothesis.
  • Literature Review
    • Evaluate the published research on the chosen topic including a minimum of three peer-reviewed articles. Summarize the current state of knowledge on the topic, making reference to the findings of previous research studies. Briefly mention the research methods that have previously been used to study the topic. State whether the proposed study is a replication of a previous study or a new approach employing methods that have not been used before. Be sure to properly cite all sources in APA style.
  • Methods
    • Design – Create a feasible research design that incorporates appropriate methods to address the topic. Indicate whether the approach of the proposed study is qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods. Identify the specific research design, and indicate whether it is experimental or non-experimental. Evaluate the chosen design and explain why this design is feasible and appropriate for the topic and how it will provide the information needed to answer the research question. Cite sources on research methodology to support these choices. Include a minimum of two peer-reviewed sources.
    • Participants – Identify and describe the sampling strategy to be used to recruit participants for the study. Estimate the number of participants needed, and explain why this sampling method is appropriate for the research design and approach.
    • Procedure/Measures – Apply the scientific method by describing the steps to be taken in carrying out the study. Identify any test, questionnaire, or measurement instrument to be utilized. If an existing published instrument will be employed, briefly describe it and cite the source. If an original questionnaire, survey, or test will be created for the project, describe the types of information that will be collected with it and explain how the validity and reliability of the instrument will be established. If such an instrument will not be used, describe how the data will be collected for the study.
    • Data Analysis – Describe the statistical techniques (if quantitative) or the analysis procedure (if qualitative) to be used to analyze the data. Cite at least one peer-reviewed source on the chosen analysis technique.
    • Ethical Issues – Analyze the impact of ethical concerns on the proposed study, such as confidentiality, deception, informed consent, potential harm to participants, conflict of interest, IRB approval, etc. After analyzing the ethical issues that apply to the project, indicate what will be done to handle these concerns.
  • Conclusion
    • Briefly summarize the major points of the paper and reiterate why the proposed study is needed.

As Edward had previously refused medical treatment for his viral infection, do the paramedics have any legal authority to institute treatment for his diabetic coma?

/in /by

As Edward had previously refused medical treatment for his viral infection, do the paramedics have any legal authority to institute treatment for his diabetic coma?

Legal Issues Using structured sentences and paragraphs, answer the following questions in relation to legal issues raised by the case. 1. As Edward had previously refused medical treatment for his viral infection, do the paramedics have any legal authority to institute treatment for his diabetic coma? What legal authority can you rely upon to support your answer? 2. What elements must be present for this consent to be valid? What legal authority can you rely upon to support your answer? What potential legal consequences may flow if healthcare practitioners provide treatment without first obtaining consent? 3. As Edward is unresponsive he will not have decision-making capacity. Provide a rationale that supports the legal obligation to obtain consent in these circumstances. 4. List the potential options available for the healthcare practitioners to obtain consent for Edward’s ongoing care in these circumstances. What legal authority can you rely upon to support your answer? 5. In circumstances where there are two or more substitute decisions-makers who could potentially provide consent, and they disagree, describe the legal options available to provide a definitive answer as to what course of action the healthcare practitioners should take. 6. What factors will be taken into account when making a decision as to whether Edward’s life-sustaining measures can be withdrawn?

Ethical Issues Referring to the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, and using structured sentences and paragraphs: 1. Identify two principles that are relevant in this scenario and describe how the selected principles apply to the facts in the scenario. 2. Describe where a conflict between these principles may arise by considering the different values of each of the stakeholders in the scenario. 3. Apply the modified Kerridge et al. (2013) model for ethical problem solving to address the conflict.

With this in mind, create a new superhero that would appropriately reflect current culture. You can use the current American culture or you can use a different current culture. You must identify and adequately describe the aspects of culture that are reflected in your character. Why might this be the kind of superhero that this culture needs today?

d. What enemy/enemies might your hero face? What values/events does your villain represent?

4. 10 points: Go to ANY NEWS SOURCE EXCEPT FOR The New York Times (since we used that source on assignment 1) and search the term: Geography. Scroll through and find an article on any topic within these search parameters and read it. What is the article about and what is the significance of or what role does geography play in the discussion of the topic? Submit the following:

a. Title and link to article that you selected.

b. Explain why you selected this article. What was interesting about this to you?

c. Describe the main topic/idea of the article.

d. Discuss the “geography” in this article? What role does geography play in the treatment of the topic? What is the “geography” in this article? What is the significance of geography?

e. Is the role/significance of geography explicit in the article or is it something you had to infer? In other words, is the “geography” easily identifiable or did you have to figure it out?

Patient stays in the hospital are being reduced for any number of reasons, but that does not mean the patients

/in /by

 
APA- SCHOLARLY- REFERENCED-
No Word minimum, but needs to be well thought out.I uploaded the APA template, PLEASE INCLUDE INTRODUCTION AND CONCLUSION TO PAPER. I WILL DISPUTE IF NOT SCHOLARLY OR PLAGIARIZED!

  1. Patient stays in the hospital are being reduced for any number of reasons, but that does not mean the patients should not be monitored.

Explain your rationale and provide evidence.
  2. Explain how data analytics leads to improved outcomes from both what you have read and from any personal experiences you can share.
  3. In combat aviation, the concept of situational awareness and data fusion is critical. Attack or defend the notion that healthcare providers need similar kinds of data fusion to provide a more robust patient situational awareness, especially in situations of noisy and conflicting data.
  4. Explain the key concepts behind six sigma analytics and explain why or why such approaches should not be used. Explain and support your position.

    5. or the discussion this week, think about the term analytics. Now, put it in a nursing context. Provide an example of what makes analytics meaningful to you, in your own practice. Please use at least one scholarly source for your initial post.

An evaluation of the usefulness of an evidenced-based practice registry based on your reaction to the experience, in which you address the following questions:

/in /by

The first steps toward narrowing the gap between research and practice are recognizing that one exists and educating oneself and others. Social workers must realize the benefits and eliminate the misconceptions surrounding evidence-based practice. In the Bradley episode featured in the resources, the social worker combines her assessment of Tiffani Bradley’s individual situation with her knowledge of research to evaluate her supervisor’s recommended intervention. Now that the social worker has recognized a gap, she/he needs to access potentially relevant information for a specific case and critically analyze for its applicability to that case. This week’s Assignment allows you to practice these critical next steps in the Bradley family case.
 

To prepare for this Assignment, review Episode 4 of the Bradley family case study. Develop a list with 2–3 researchable questions that you could use to find evidence about the efficacy of 12-step programs or other treatments for substance abuse in adolescents. Then go to the NREPP searchable online Registry and follow the instructions in the Using the NREPP Database document located in this week’s resources. Search for two evidence-based interventions that would be appropriate for Tiffani Bradley. Be sure to explore the sections related to quality of research, readiness for dissemination, replications, and costs.

 

Submit a 2- to 3-page paper that includes the following:

 

· Summaries of the two interventions and their respective research regarding effectiveness

 

· Recommendations for Tiffani’s social worker that address the following:

 

o Factors to consider when choosing between the two interventions

 

o The social work skills that the staff would require to implement the intervention

 

o The training required to implement each intervention

 

· A

Assignment 2: Human Services Organizations as Systems

 

Social workers use the person-in-environment approach to understand the relationship between individuals and their physical and social environments. This ecological perspective is a framework that is based on concepts associated with systems theory. Systems theory guides social workers when they assess how factors in the environment such as school, work, culture, and social policy impact the individual. Although social workers commonly use the systems approach to focus on the individual, they may apply this approach to human services organizations as well. Human services organizations exist within the context of the social, economic, and political environments, and any type of change in one aspect of the environment will influence the organization’s internal and external functioning.

 

For this Assignment, consider how administrators of human services organizations may apply systems theory in their work. Also, consider what you have discovered about the roles of leadership and management and how these contribute to an organization’s overall functioning.

 

Assignment (2 pages in APA format):

 

· Explain how systems theory can help administrators understand the relationships between human services organizations and their environments. 

 

· Provide specific examples of ways administrators might apply systems theory to their work. 

 

· Finally, explain how leadership and management roles within human services organizations contribute to their overall functioning.
