    Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot to death at the hands of George Zimmerman, a volunteer neighborhood watchman, in 2012. Was his death the result of self-defense or racial bias? That question drew hundreds of people to rally on each side of this heated debate.

    Cognitive dissonance is aroused by inconsistent beliefs and behaviors. Believing cigarettes are bad for your health, but smoking cigarettes anyway, can cause cognitive dissonance. To reduce cognitive dissonance, individuals can change their behavior, as in quitting smoking, or change their belief, such as discounting the evidence that smoking is harmful.

Structural and Strategic Family Therapy

Structural and Strategic Family Therapy Essay Assignment Papers- NURS 6650 Walden University Week 4

Week 4: Structural and Strategic Family Therapy

Individuals are born into families, grow and develop in families, and live most of their lives in families. Therefore, it makes sense that clients are best understood within the context of the family system.

——Dr. Candice Knight, Psychotherapy for the Advanced Practice Psychiatric Nurse

The family system is a social unit that is based on unique relationships and roles. Structural and strategic therapies are important, because they offer unique insights to the theoretical underpinnings of this system. As a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, a strong theoretical foundation will help you better understand the family unit and family therapy; this understanding will, in turn, improve the effectiveness of your work with clients. Structural and Strategic Family Therapy Essay Assignment Papers- NURS 6650 Walden University Week 4.
This week, as you continue exploring family therapy, you examine structural and strategic family therapies and their appropriateness for client families. You also consider your own practicum experiences involving family therapy sessions.

Although structural therapy and strategic therapy are both used in family therapy, these therapeutic approaches have many differences in theory and application. As you assess families and develop treatment plans, you must consider these differences and their potential impact on clients.

Relativistic Thinking

Discussion—Relativistic Thinking: A New Perspective On The World

Children and adolescents tend to engage in so-called “black and white” thinking. In other words, they tend to judge people and situations in dualistic, rather than relativistic, terms. In early adulthood, individuals begin to reason about situations using a more flexible framework that helps them to resolve contradictions between different perspectives.
Describe a situation in which you or someone you know has had to move beyond “black and white” thinking and has been able to develop a more relativistic perspective. Answer the following:

  • What was it about the situation that challenged you or the other person to think more relativistically?
  • How do you think people begin to respond to others differently once they begin to use relativistic thinking?

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

Describe how you will address this gap in nursing practice with your preceptor. Write out exactly what you might say to this RN to professionally address the current evidence for the nursing care of patients.

Nursing

For the initial discussion post, review the article by Miller, Drummond and Carey:

  • Miller, J., Drummond Haye, D., & Carey, K. W. (2015). 20 QUESTIONS: Evidence-based practice or sacred cow? Nursing, 45(8), 46-55. doi:10.1097/01.NURSE.0000469234.84277.95

Scenario:

  • You begin your career in an acute care hospital as a newly licensed RN. During your orientation, you observe your preceptor checking gastric feeding tube placement by injecting air and auscultating the abdomen, stopping continuous enteral tube feedings before a patient is turned or repositioned, and routinely inserting rectal tubes for patients with diarrhea. You know that ALL three (3) of these practices are currently NOT supported by nursing evidence. When asked, your preceptor responds, “This is the way we have always cared for patients with tube feedings and diarrhea.” You prepare to talk to this peer about necessary changes in nursing practice.

Initial Discussion Post:

Address the following:

  • Choose ONE (1) of the practices described in the scenario.
  • Describe how you will address this gap in nursing practice with your preceptor. Write out exactly what you might say to this RN to professionally address the current evidence for the nursing care of patients.
  • Include when and where you would communicate this information
  • Consider any additional information you might provide to your preceptor to support changing nursing practice

Base your initial post on your readings and research of this topic. Your initial post must contain a minimum of 250 words. References, citations, and repeating the question do not count towards the 250 word minimum.

Q2

How has the Patient and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the “Health Care Reform Act”) reshaped financial arrangements between hospitals, physicians, and other providers with Medicare making a single payment for all care received by a beneficiary from 72 hours before admission to 30 days after discharge from an inpatient facility?
