Effective Management of Tuberculosis

Assignment 2—Effective Management of Tuberculosis

Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) has emerged as a global public health concern. Tuberculosis (TB) is contracted by breathing in air droplets from a sneeze or cough of an infected person. TB primarily attacks the lungs; however, it can spread to other parts of the body, especially if left untreated. The drug treatment regimen takes approximately 6 months or longer, so many patients become resistant to the medications after a certain period.

From the assigned readings this week, review the following article:

  • Sharma, S. K., Kumar, S., Saha, P. K., George, N., Arora, S. K., Gupta, D.,  . . . Vashisht, R. P. (2011). Prevalence of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis among Category II pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Indian Journal of Medical Research, 133(3), 312–315. (Web of Science Accession Number: WOS: 000289322400013)

Write a 3–5-page paper in Microsoft Word format that addresses the following:

  • Explain the significance of monitoring the prevalence of MDR-TB among Category II pulmonary tuberculosis patients.
  • Describe the methodology of the study in the above journal article and how the study sample was selected.
  • Analyze the study’s findings as they relate to the effective management of tuberculosis.
  • Summarize the results of the study.
  • Justify how the results of the study can improve rapid detection of MDR-TB.

Support your statements with appropriate examples and scholarly references.

Submit your assignment to the W4: Assignment 2 Dropbox by Tuesday, October 31, 2017.

Name your document SUO_PHE4095_W4_A2_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.

Law homework help

Each student will treat this as an individual assignment. Your response should be well-rounded and analytical and should not just provide a conclusion or an opinion without explaining the reason for the choice. For full credit, you need to use the material from the week’s lectures, text and/or discussions when responding to the questions. Post a case analysis of a listed problem for the week in the corresponding weeks assignment drop box. The case assignments are posted below in the Case Assignments.
The assignment should consist of a Word Document. It should include a summary of the relevant facts, the law, judicial opinion and answer the case questions. All that is necessary for an understanding of the case is important and required.
The report must go beyond the discussion of the problem posed in the textbook, to achieve a superior grade. Do research outside the textbook- this must include research outside the case citation such as the Lexus-Nexis in the DeVry Library or FindLaw.com, do research on the parties and circumstances of the case itself and incorporate some visual modality as a part of the case analysis. Something about one of the parties, as well as some background contained in the legal opinion. Doing significant research outside the textbook is essential.
Utilize the case format below.

Psychotherapy With Trauma – Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Psychotherapy With Trauma – Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Week 5: Psychotherapy With Trauma

Disorders resulting from trauma are significantly different from other psychiatric mental health issues. Unlike disorders such as schizophrenia or major depressive disorder, trauma-related disorders do not occur randomly in the population. Instead, trauma is something that occurs as a result of the lived experience of a traumatic event. According to the National Center for PTSD, more than half of the population will experience trauma during their lifetime (National Center for PTSD, 2010). Although most people will recover from the trauma on their own, some require therapeutic interventions. While there are medications that can help individuals with trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the foundation of treatment continues to be psychotherapy.
This week, as you explore psychotherapy with trauma, you assess clients presenting with posttraumatic stress disorder. You also examine therapies for treating these clients and consider potential outcomes. Finally, you develop diagnoses for clients receiving psychotherapy and consider legal and ethical implications of counseling these clients. Psychotherapy With Trauma – Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

Although studying theory might seem to be an effort separate from practice (e.g., professional activities), good theories emerge from assessing practice. Accordingly, theories can possess some usefulness in prescribing positive actions for leaders and organizations.
Assume you are the manager of a department in an organization. Select two of the theories you learned about this week that you believe will be most useful in managing your staff. (Be sure to review the supplemental readings as well). Select different theories or different combinations of theories than your classmates select. Address the following:

  • Assess why you find the two theories you selected most practical or helpful.
  • Evaluate how the two theories might interact with each other.
  • Analyze whether you anticipate needing different motivational methods applying your selected theories according to the ages, races, national origins, cultures, genders, and educational backgrounds of your subordinates. Provide appropriate citations to support your conclusions.
  • Justify three best practices that emerge from your selected theories (three best practices total. You do not need three best practices for each theory).
