APUS The Most Interesting Subject in School Is History Discussion Other Assignment Help

For this assignment, you will provide a diagnosis of a client vignette (depressive or mood disorder such as bipolar I or II, schizoaffective disorder), describe the current evidence regarding the causes and prevalence of the diagnosis, and briefly explain the current treatment recommendations, including individual therapy, family/couple therapy, and medications.

As an additional part of this assignment, you will analyze a client (pick one of the cases from the available vignettes) during an initial session by describing their symptoms, developing a diagnosis from the various options located in the DSM-5, and then addressing the following in an assessment based on the client in the vignette.

1. Diagnosis and Supporting Evidence – Develop an accurate diagnosis using the DSM-5 criteria listed for the disorders studied. Support the diagnosis by writing a description of the symptoms and related information from the vignette that substantiates your conclusions. While developing your argument to support the provided diagnosis, specifically address each of the criteria and include an example of how the client fits the criteria. If there is a rule-out diagnosis, please highlight the ways in which the client does not fit a rule-out diagnosis based on the criteria.
2. Description of the Disorder –Briefly describe the possible causes (genetics, biological basis), course, and effects of the disorder. Please address the impact of the diagnosis on a client’s family members or significant others. Many psychiatric conditions have a genetic basis and family history; therefore, dynamics are very important to consider.
3. Cultural Considerations and Implications: Provide a paragraph description in which you briefly comment on each component of Garcia and Petrovitch’s (2015) Diversity/Resilience formulation (see Week 1 readings): Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, Community, and Spiritual. How is each of these illustrated in the client vignette?
4. Treatments – Based on the readings and other outside information, please outline the best current evidence regarding treatment of the condition you diagnosed. Be sure to address each of the following:

• Medications: What are the best current medications used to treat this condition? Be specific to identify the drug classes used. You do not need to identify specific medications, but you do need to identify which class of drugs that are commonly used.
• Assessment of Suicide Risk: Describe how you will assess the risk of suicide using a standard assessment (e.g., Columbia Scale). How will you work with the client to develop a safety plan?
• Psychotherapy: What psychotherapy approaches have the best evidence in treating this condition? How do these approaches address the symptoms of the diagnosed condition and improve functioning?
• Family and/or Couple Interventions: Identify which family and/or couple interventions that have the best evidence supporting their use in treating the diagnosed condition. Describe two specific interventions you could implement with this case.

In your description of the treatments, be sure to continue to integrate information about the case from the vignette (i.e., do not simply discuss what you would do with a person with the given disorder; write about how the model and interventions that you have selected fit with the specific client from the vignette). Do not replicate the vignette in your paper. Simply provide a synopsis of the vignette as you would in a clinical note.

Hello Everyone,

Collaborative writing can assist in the writing process when collaborating as a team. “The more complex and longer your project, the more likely you will be to work with others” (Smith-Worthington & Jefferson, 2011, p. 93). Any benefits of collaborative writing are that the team can learn from each other, time can be more easily invested, and the final design is increased. The understanding of what the other team members can bring to the table helps each team member. Working as a team will also help make time work in their favor and tasks can be done more effectively in a smoother way. Overall, the team’s layout and approach will continue to enhance the flow of writing and proposals through the collaborative process. Some of the drawbacks of collaborative writing can involve problems such as unleveled workload and interpersonal dispute. Not all work the same way or makes as much effort as others because if one or two people do not do as much work, the other team members can be left doing more work. This can be challenging because the job must be completed, but unfortunately, others can work better than some, but they will all get the same amount of recognition. Interpersonal disputes may also be part of unleveled workload efforts and, indeed, human personal habits or histories. There may be misunderstandings and there may be disagreements within the team that may make it impossible for the team to operate smoothly.

I will start with planning to coordinate a collaborative writing process. “Planning is the first stage of the writing process when a writer thinks of an idea and prepares to develop and research it” (Smith-Worthington & Jefferson, 2011, p. 81). As part of the preparation stage, I would get my team to start with the subject and then start developing the proposal. Then, I will chart the concepts between the teams by clustering and branching out the various views. To ensure that there is continuity between the writers on my staff, I would highlight the importance of project preparation and logistics. It will help to ensure that working together works for everyone by ensuring that there is a good schedule in place that has a timeline or deadline. In the plan, it would guarantee that everyone contributes something to the project by assigning various parts or proposals to each team member to ensure that there are enough ideas to go around to finish the project. Overall, collaborative writing can aid with getting a job completed in a timely and coordinated way while supervising a team of authors.

I had a hard time even selecting one for my project for my graph, chart, or graphic to use. My proposal aims to provide most of the telecommute-style working hours to help improve workflow, job satisfaction, minimize stress levels, and increase the total return on investment in the long term. I did not find a nice graph, but I found a nice chart that breaks down the top benefits of telecommuting. According to a study published today by the Computing Technology Industry Association, businesses that allow their workers the option of telecommuting have increased morale, reduced wages, better employee wellbeing, and greater retention of employees.

Hello Class,

In my final project I am proposing to telecommute more and how it saves both the companies and employees time, money and an increase in health. Imagining that this is a group project or a collaboration with a team, it is important to know what each person is assigned to complete and that they actually participate. According to our reading, to ensure everyone has a part and are participating in the project, I would organize the project as our reading suggests, “Break down a large project into several smaller tasks. Working backward from what you must deliver to your client or manager, partition your project into its component parts, making a list of what steps your team must take to complete the project. This task is not only the foundation of project management but also a good strategy for determining the resources you will need to complete the project successfully and on time. After you have a list of tasks to complete, you can begin to plan your project, assign responsibilities, and set deadlines” (Markel, 2017). This will enable everyone to see the big picture and what must be done in order to be successful. Keep in mind that it’s a team effort and everyone has something they can contribute to make the project successful, so take full advantage of it. It is also good to have a team leader for this collaboration to help keep everyone on task and to help manage time.
Lists everyone’s strengths and weaknesses and I would also organize tasks according to strengths, “The team leader also keeps the team on track, leads the meetings, and coordinates communication among team members” (Markel, 2017).

The pros and cons of collaboration according to our reading is, “collaboration draws on a wider base knowledge and wider skills base, No one person can be an expert manager, writer, editor, graphic artist, and production person.” (Markel, 2017). It will take the entire team to function and work together to get the job done. And more people can think of different details that need to be addressed in the project, “each collaborator acts as an audience, working with collaborators produces more questions and suggestions than one person could while writing alone.” (Markel, 2017). This also will ensure you have maximum participation from each team member.

The graph that is attached shows the benefits of telecommuting. I chose this graph because I feel it truly represents what I am recommending to my organization. If more companies would use telecommuting and have programs for this, they would see a higher yield in production and more happier employees and even healthier employees, which will lead to less sick days and more missed work days. I believe if we can really tackle some of the issues behind telecommute, we will find it is more beneficial for everyone and that the advantages really outweigh the disadvantages by far.

Now that you are completing your proposed Doctoral Study Prospectus, it is appropriate to look ahead at completing the Doctoral Study itself. The entire process will be much smoother if you take time at the beginning to plan each step and consider how you will go about achieving your research plans.

Post your plan for completing your Doctoral Study. In your plan, be sure to list the specific milestones and your detailed timetable for completing these milestones, Make sure to indicate when, in particular (e.g., in the evening, on weekends, etc.), you will work on your Doctoral Study. Also, comment on how you will keep your Doctoral Study committee informed of your progress. Be specific and provide examples.

Support your Discussion with citations and specific references to all resources used in its preparation. You are asked to provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the resources for this course.

   Reminder: Outline due feb 2nd. You can find details for completing Outline under the Assignments tab. This is your blueprint for laying the ground work for your project details. This will highlight the basics for what is needed to move forward with filling in all the gaps to help you determine what is needed to produce a thorough and complete EBP project.PICO(T)– If you do not have a grade for your PICO question then additional edits are needed. First determine what type question you are developing. Next make sure your intervention and comparison is clearly stated with as few words as possible. Finally, not ally will have a time frame. Note a time frame is helpful and worth giving serious consideration. With any evidence based initiative you must have a time frame in order to complete the evaluation. Consider this: If a project is not worth evaluating, is it worth inquiry and implementation?

My Picot Question:


PICOT Question

In elderly patients of 60 years and older who have experienced an ischemic stroke, how effective is acupuncture in comparison to standard stroke therapy in improving mobility over a 12 week period following the ischemic event?

Professor feedback on submitted PICOT question:

Interesting topic.
Were you able to find supporting literature?
Concerned about the 12 week period. Is that a long enough period for evaluation
What is standard stroke therapy? Will have to provide definition in terminology.
