Questions

“Wu Wei is the supreme action, the precious suppleness, simplicity, and freedom that flows from us, rather through us, when our private egos and conscious efforts yield to a power not their own.” – The World’s Religions, p. 208 (Escovedo) 

How does the concept of Wu Wei contrast with a Western perspective?

“In the Taoist perspective, even good and evil are not head-on opposites. The West has tended to dichotomize the two, but Taoists are less categorical.” The World’s Wisdom, p. 215. (Escovedo). 

How can the concept of yin/yang be applied to today’s national and global events?

  • Confucianism and Taoism differ because Confucianism focuses on the harmony of society while Taoism focuses on the harmony of one with nature. Confucianism was designed for conformity and the teachings emphasized the oral and traditional values that should exist in order to ensure a peaceful society. Taoism is almost the opposite of this. Taoism disregards the hope for societal order, but rather on the individual’s liberation of their imagination and being impulsive.

QUESTION

Mr. Perkins, age 81, reports for an annual physical examination. He says he is doing well. His only known problem is osteoarthritis. He also requests a flu shot. He takes no medications other than Tylenol for arthritis pain. When he walks into the exam room, you notice that he is using a straight cane in his right hand. When you ask about the cane, he says he began using the cane because the pain in his right hip had increased significantly over the past 6 months.

Review the case study above and based on the provided information, think about a possible patient evaluation plan. As part of your evaluation planning, consider where the evaluation would take place, whether any other professionals or family members should be present, appropriate assessment tools and guidelines, and any other relevant information you may wish to address.

Consider whether the assessment tool you identified was validated for use with this specific patient population and if this poses issues. Think about additional factors that might present issues when performing assessments focusing on the patient as a whole such as language, education, prosthetics, missing limbs, functional ability, fall screening/ prevention, etc.

Consider immunization requirements that may be needed for this patient.

  • Keep in mind that as nurse practitioners, whether you are in primary care or acute care, patient and family education is always important. This includes education about medications, tests, treatment plans, immunizations, diagnosis, and health promotion.

Evidence Based Brochure

QUESTION

You are a volunteer in a long-term care facility. While the facility employs inter-disciplinary providers including mental health providers and social workers, your daily encounters with residents and families often revolve around comforting them in various stages of the death, dying, and grieving processes.
You know that most of the population is comprised of visually-dominant learners, but most of their interactions are auditory in nature. Given this discrepancy, you ask leadership if you can create a brochure for residents and their families to outline a typical death and dying process, as well as tips to help embrace the grieving process at each step.
Leadership welcomes the idea. They ask you to create an evidence-based brochure for the residents and their families on this topic. Once you create it, they will have their social work and mental health provider teams review your content to determine if revision is needed prior to sharing it with the population. Instructions
Use Word, PowerPoint, Canva, or similar software to create a 1-2-page patient brochure that addresses:

Typical steps in the death and dying process, including common indications of feelings or behaviors that indicate where one is in the process.

At least one self-help tip to manage the normal grieving process for each step.

  1. Signs or feelings that a person should reach out for additional professional assistance when self-management is not enough.

If the references do not fit into your brochure template, include an additional Word document reference list.

Question

1. Durkheim treats deviance and crime as objective, measurable social facts. Deviance is both normal (ALL societies have patterns of deviance/crime) and pathological (patterns of deviance/crime are statistically infrequent compared to conforming behavior patterns). Explain how recreational marijuana use may be both normal and pathological social behavior. If most people have used marijuana (“normal”), how can it be defined as deviant (“pathological”)?

2. Erikson argues that deviance is NOT an objective quality of behavior; rather, social audiences label deviance based on directly or indirectly witnessing such behavior. In short, deviance is less about statistical evidence and more a quality of social reaction. Using drunk driving as an example, how does audience reaction establish boundaries between recreational drinking and drunk driving, especially the legal response to the latter? In your answer pay particular attention to age of offenders as an important boundary.

3.Discuss Merton’s concept of anomie (the disjunction of cultural goals, institutionalized means, and the actual distribution of opportunities (e.g., educational, economic) to achieve the cultural goals. What is the most important cultural goal according to Merton? Define and discuss the five individual adaptations to anomie Merton identifies.

4. Define and discuss Hagedorn’s ideal types of “homeboys, dope fiends, legits, and new jacks” (p. 57). Pay particular attention to how each of these types represents Merton’s five adaptations to anomie. How does Hagedorn update Merton’s theory with the addition of racial discrimination as obstacle to goal achievement?

QUESTION

SKIM at a couple sources from Parts 2 and 3. EDIT and expand (=WRITE) your previous work, developing it into a more organized, clearly formatted Project 3 Plan with 3 sections:

1. Working thesis (not just one sentence; ~200 words) including a specific, persuasive claim about one or more parts of the Boeing plane crash events and what readers can, should, do to avoid such events in the present and future. Readers being regular citizens (or employees) — just not Boeing executives. (i.e. avoid “Boeing needs to…” statements without detailed focus on how individuals can make that happen.). NOTE: This #1 “working thesis” QUESTION resembles the 4th bolded question from Project 3 directions:

What should employees do in such a situation, and what should the general public do about such an issue (that affects most citizens).

Thus, students don’t have to answer this —^ completely right now (it’s just a plan document) but at least try to get some ideas down about it, to help the overall direction your essay may take next week, and to help your essay intro. and conclusion parts. 

2. Source 1 S-R (about 300 words for this section) — one source that stood out to you in particular, and why (from any of the 3 sections)

3. Source 2 S-R (about 300 words for this section) —  one source that stood out to you in particular, and why (from any of the 3 sections)

QUESTION

John B., a therapist in a small town, agreed to see a new patient who was also the mother of a friend of John B.’s child. He knew the family had financial issues. Wishing to be of service, John B. decreased his fee to accommodate the patient.

John B. saw the patient for six months, never receiving payment for the sessions. He sent several notices that went unpaid. Finally, he and the patient agreed to terminate their arrangement due to the patient’s inability to pay his fee. The patient agreed to pay his fee in installments and, once paid, they would revisit the possibility of treatment.

He sent one, two, three billing notices to the client’s home without response. Getting frustrated, he finally sent notification to the client’s fax machine at her office, but the client did not report to work that day. The bill was titled “psychological services rendered” and handwritten in large print was “Third Notice—OVERDUE!!” with the client’s name. This notice sat in an open access mail tray of the busy office all day.

For your original post, answer the following questions:

  1. What should the worker have done in the beginning of the professional relationship?
  2. Discuss at what point the social worker could have intervened to avoid the conflict? If this produced a dysfunctional outcome, state why.
  3. What are duties and obligations of the worker in this case? Refer to the NASW Code of Ethics, where applicable.

Question

As an old saying goes, “Plan the work and work the plan.” Every successfully funded initiative starts with a well-thought-out plan of action that shares with the funding agency the vision for accomplishing the work. This component of a grant proposal is a plan aligned with project goals and objectives that outlines the activities that will need to be completed, as well as identifies the people and time needed for success. Planning these resources will help you as you build your budget.

In this assignment, you develop a timeline of activities and a project management plan of the resources involved with the project. You will include these components in the Wk 5 Summative Assessment: Grant Proposal.
