QUESTION

Objective: This assignment is designed to help you articulate the challenges associated with providing social work to students in schools. 

*Reflect on the below event involving a student, as a school social worker what may prompt you to respond in a manner that is different from what other staff such as the school teachers, administrators, or nurses might expect?

*Consider the Code of Ethics: “Best interest of the child(ren)” who may be experiencing challenges based on race, ethnicity, disability, gender identity, or sexual orientation. 

Example Event:

This is only an example.  

A first grade student comes to school wearing oversized clothing and smells of cat urine.  The child’s siblings are older and all appear to be dressed in size appropriate attire; however, they, too, smell of cat urine. The class teacher complains of the smell and appearance of the child and complains to you and the vice-principal that the student’s condition is both heartbreaking and a cause of disruption to other students in the class.  Both the teacher and the vice-principal believe you should immediately report this to Child Welfare Services (CWS).  You believe you should speak with the child and perhaps the siblings and parents to get a clearer picture of what may be occurring as this does not sound as if it a suspicion of abuse or neglect yet. In addition, you know by law that teachers are not allowed to defer their duty to report and, if a report should be made, it should be from the teacher who has first hand knowledge of the concern. 

Answer:

How would you address this? Remember the sociological imagination and taking on a broader perspective than “judging” the individual.

Provide feedback to at least two of your group members using correct grammar and sentence structure.  Responses must demonstrate insight and foster continued learning.  Responses that are short and  do not demonstrate effort, such as simply stating “Good idea. I agree,” will not receive full points.

Case Study: End-of-Life Care for a Minor
Timothy Collins, a vibrant 16-year-old high school junior known for his passion for music and
soccer, has been battling an aggressive form of leukemia for two years. Despite the initial hope
and a brief period of remission, recent tests have shown that the leukemia cells have multiplied
aggressively. The prognosis is grim.
After enduring multiple rounds of chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and countless
hospital stays, Timothy, weary from the side effects and the emotional toll of the disease,
expresses a wish to his primary oncologist, Dr. Angela Foster, to discontinue his treatments. He
has been researching and wishes to enter hospice care, hoping to spend his remaining time in
the comfort of his home, surrounded by his loved ones.
His parents, Mr. Robert Collins, a bank manager, and Mrs. Lydia Collins, a schoolteacher, are
devastated by Timothy’s decision. They have been tirelessly researching and believe that a new
experimental treatment overseas might offer a glimmer of hope. They cannot fathom giving up
and want to explore every possible avenue to save their only child.
Dr. Angela Foster, a seasoned oncologist with over 20 years of experience, finds herself in one
of the most challenging situations of her career. She deeply respects Timothy’s maturity and his
right to have a say in his care. However, she also understands the desperation and pain of the
Collins family. The principles of beneficence and autonomy are at odds in this situation. While
she wants to act in the best interest of Timothy, she also recognizes the rights of the parents
and their wishes for their minor son.

WEEK 2 PRESENTAION

QUESTION

Background: Computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems enable businesses to design and manufacture unique products to differentiate themselves in the marketplace. Supply chain management (SCM) systems can improve efficiency and reduce costs if a business has many suppliers and products. Customer relationship management (CRM) systems enable businesses to manage customer information better to develop deeper relationships. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems help to manage resources (e.g., finance, inventory, human resources) to improve the efficiency of business operations.

Assignment: This assignment aims to demonstrate how upgrading a system can contribute to the value chain and influence the business strategy.

Given your company and its generic business strategy from Week 1, if that organization can afford only one major system upgrade at this time, describe how one of the following types of systems could contribute to the value chain of your company and influence its business strategy—choose either: a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) system, a supply chain management (SCM) system, a customer relationship management (CRM) system, or an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Even though your company may use many types of systems, focus on the one (CAD/CAM, SCM, CRM, or ERP) that is most important for its business strategy.

Create a professional PowerPoint presentation for the business team in your company recommending a system upgrade. Make sure you remind your business team of the generic strategy and how the proposed system will enhance that strategy.

Describe how the new type of system will work.

Use the Porter value chain model to identify the areas impacted. 

Present what business improvements your company could make with the new system.

  1. Identify the types of people in the company who would use or be impacted by the software you are proposing.
  2. Use the Porter five forces model to show how the new system could impact your company’s competitive advantage. Although a cost/benefit analysis would typically be included in this type of presentation, that is not required for this assignment.

Special Education Research and Demographics

QUESTION

For this assignment, you complete a demographic review of the diverse learners within your district including the percentage of students with IEPs by race, the percentage of students with various special education eligibility categories and the percentage of students with IEPS in the least restrictive environment by examining your School Report Card and IStar data (ask your Special Education District Administration) for more detailed data from ISTAR). Now that you have collected all of this data, analyze it, and answer the following questions with appropriate APA in-cite citations and reference list as appropriate. 

1. From a district perspective, what demographic trends did you notice? Be specific. What generalizations can be made in regard to the data? (Table 1)

2. Discuss specifically the data trends you observe for each IEP student demographic (table 1),  by each specific special education eligibility category (table 2), and general education environment percentage (table 3). After analyzing the data, what generalizations can be made in regard to your IEP student population and disability category subgroups? What strengths might you infer based on this data? What weaknesses might you infer based on this data? Be sure to include strengths and weaknesses for each of the three tables.

3. As a future Superintendent, what would be some areas you would want to address to improve services for students with disabilities?  What possible recommendations would you make to the Board of Education?  How do these recommendations align with the Strategic Plan of the District? 

4. Prepare a Board Presentation using Google Presentation to include a summary of District’s strengths and weaknesses, plan to address weaknesses, recommendations to improve, and potential impact on the budget.                                                                     I uploaded what I have written so far.

policy response 2-2 to hugo pina

QUESTION

In Diana J. Mason and Deborah B.’s “Policy & Politics in Nursing and Health Care,” the nurse emerges as a pivotal player in the policy development model, wielding influence in shaping healthcare landscapes. Nurses, as emphasized in the text, act as advocates, educators, and catalysts for change within the complex web of healthcare policy.

The nurse’s advocacy role is paramount, representing the interests of patients and communities. By leveraging their frontline experiences, nurses can articulate the real-world implications of policy decisions and advocate for measures that prioritize patient well-being. As educators, nurses bridge the gap between policy intricacies and practical application, ensuring healthcare professionals comprehend the implications of policy changes on patient care.

Furthermore, nurses serve as catalysts for change by actively participating in policy discussions and decision-making forums. Their firsthand insights into healthcare challenges equip them to propose and advocate for innovative solutions. Overall, Mason and B.’s work underscores the nurse’s multifaceted role, positioning them not just as caregivers but as integral contributors to the development and implementation of policies that shape the trajectory of nursing and healthcare at large.

The policy meeting video I chose discusses Artificial Intelligences’s (AI) developing role in the healthcare field to include its ability to diagnose,  exam key lab values, and predict patient outcomes. Some of the key points I believe need to be discussed are how we plan to integrate our providers role in verifying diagnoses made by AI systems such as AI systems being used to analyze radiology reports. I believe a larger conversation must be had regarding the ethical implications of having these systems take the role of human beings who need employment. There appears to be a needed balance between using these systems for better patient outcomes without sacrificing the needed human to human interaction and connection that happens at bedside when the provider and healthcare team feel an investment in the well being of the patient.
