Accident Prevention And Safety Promotion For Parents And Caregivers Of Infants

The growth, development, and learned behaviors that occur during the   first year of infancy have a direct effect on the individual   throughout a lifetime. For this assignment, research an environmental   factor that poses a threat to the health or safety of infants and   develop a health promotion that can be presented to caregivers.

Create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint health promotion, with speaker   notes, that outlines a teaching plan. For the presentation of your   PowerPoint, use Loom to create a voice over or a video. Include an   additional slide for the Loom link at the beginning, and an additional   slide for references at the end.

Include the following in your presentation:

  1. Describe the selected environmental factor. Explain how the     environmental factor you selected can potentially affect the health     or safety of infants.
  2. Create a health promotion plan that     can be presented to caregivers to address the environmental factor     and improve the overall health and well-being of infants.
  3. Offer recommendations on accident prevention and safety     promotion as they relate to the selected environmental factor and     the health or safety of infants.
  4. Offer examples,     interventions, and suggestions from evidence-based research. At     least three scholarly resources are required. Two of the three     resources must be peer-reviewed and no more than 6 years old.
  5. Provide readers with two community resources, a national     resource, and a Web-based resource. Include a brief description and     contact information for each resource.
  6. In developing your     PowerPoint, take into consideration the health care literacy level     of your target audience, as well as the demographic of the     caregiver/patient (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any     other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the     presentation is tailored

 The downfall of many quality improvement initiatives is the inability to sustain improvements. Last week, you considered the use of evidence-based practice models as a method for sustaining practice changes to improve quality. This week’s Discussion builds on those concepts of sustainability. You evaluate measurement mechanisms and explore strategies that leadership and improvement teams can use to sustain improvement efforts.
 

To prepare:

  • Review      the evaluation tools presented in the Learning Resources and how the tools      can be used to promote sustainability.
  • Select      a measurement mechanism that can be used to evaluate your quality      improvement initiative. You may wish to conduct additional research on the      use of measurement mechanisms to sustain outcomes of improvement      initiatives.
  • Consider      the influence of leadership and improvement teams in sustaining      improvement efforts. Ask yourself: What specific strategies can leaders      and my improvement team use to sustain our improvement initiative?

PERSONALITY AND THE PSYCHOANALYTIC PERSPECTIVE

Personality and the Psychoanalytic Perspective Worksheet

1. How would you describe personality to a person who has no knowledge of the field of personality psychology?

Personality is an individual’s characteristic style or pattern of thinking, feeling, emotion, and behavior. Personality is something that develops over time. It can be hereditary, such as, my oldest son has my temper and stubbornness, or my daughter has her mother’s attitude. Relationships and building attachments and environmental experiences influence your personality. It is a person’s unique behavioral and mental patterns, a person’s unique consistent pattern of thinking, feeling, and acting.

2. What are some key personality features that define you?

There are so many different personality features or traits that I could use to define myself. But to be specific I would use these personality traits: adventurous, challenging, dedicated, abrasive, hardworking, impatient, introvert, emotionally stable, and open to new experiences. Though there are many different personality traits that can help define why I see myself also as abrasive, and an impatient individual who does not tolerate excuses or believe in giving people more than one chance, I do have a compassionate side when it comes to family and loved ones. Being adventurous is my best feature or trait, I am willing to go where I have never been before and am willing to do things I have never done, even if I do not know how it’s going to turn out, people say life is short, I say life is long, we have so much time to do so many things, it is only short if you do not use it wisely.

3. Are your personality features consistent, or do they change according to the situation?

I think that my personality features are consistent with what is considered a normal situation. With that being said, if I am in a normal situation my personality features can remain consistent, but I do have the ability to adapt to whatever situation I am in, this depends on my comfort level also. Even when I introduce myself into one of these, that I do not deem as normal my personality features can remain consistent. However, when I unknowingly become part of a situation or a change in environment that is not what I consider as normal then some of my personality features may not remain consistent.

4. What are the main tenets of the psychoanalytic perspective of personality? What do all psychoanalytic theories have in common?

The psychoanalytic perspective of personality focuses on the conscious and unconscious. The theory is constructed on the idea that our behaviors and emotions are created by unconscious factors. Both Freud and Jung believed the human mind was divided into three parts. Freud: Id, Ego, and Superego. Jung: Ego, Personal Unconscious, and Collective Unconscious. Both theorists believed in analyzing dreams and symbols to understand problems.

The main principles on which the psychoanalytic theory is based are the Id, Ego, and Super Ego which were Freud’s standing. The unconscious was divided into the ego, the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious, these were according to Jung. The Id is the most primitive structure of personality, in that behaviors are encouraged by feelings. The Id is the unconscious and runs on what an individual inherited at birth. The Ego is talking about our conscious perceptions, memories and thought that help us deal with reality. The superego drives the id through socially acceptable behaviors. Jung stated that the ego is the conscious, the personal unconscious included a person’s memories, and the collective unconscious holds the knowledge that we were born with, or what we have experienced and learned as a species.

Theorist Main components of his theory (90 words minimum)
Freud Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality consisted of three diverse elements of which personality is consisted of. The three elements of personality are as follows the ID, the EGO and the SUPEREGO. Together they work to create complex human behaviors. The ID is “the most primitive structure of personality; the source of psychic energy. EGO is the rational and coping part of personality, it is the most mature structure of personality; mediates intrapsychic conflict and copes with the external world. SUPEREGO consists of the rules and ideals of society that have become internalized by the individual. Some of the superego is conscious, but much of it remains unconscious” (Cloninger, 2013).
Jung Jung’s theory puts people in three dimensions, and talks about their differences within those. Introversion or Extraversion, and two pairs of Psychological Functions, those are the three different types. He was not as concerned with the childhood aspect like Freud was, he focused more on the developments that happened in the adulthood stage. During a persons midlife, this is when they become the unique person they are and when they develop their unconscious qualities, he called it the Individuation process, which draws upon the deep unconscious reservoir of personality that Jung called “the collective unconscious, as well as on a strong ego” (Cloninger, 2013).
Significant differences between the two, Freud believed in past experiences mostly related to childhood as the main cause for a person’s behavior, Jung just believed in past experiences and future aspirations.
Jung believed that most developmental emphasis was on adult hood, while Freud stated it all started in the childhood. This was the big thing that stood out to me, and one of the main reasons Jung started to disagree with Freud, they went from coworkers to enemies.

5. How would you describe personality to a person who has no knowledge of the field of personality psychology?

Personality is based off of individual differences and characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling, and behavior. Personality is developed over time and strongly influence personal expectations, perceptions, values, and attitudes. Personality drives individuals to consistently think, feel, and behave a certain way. Personality is what makes each and every one of us unique. Culture and gender are important factors that influence the development of personality. Culture is one of the most important environmental factors that shapes personality. The biological perspective on personality emphasizes the influence of the brain and genetic factors on personality. In psychology, “temperament” refers to the personalities tendencies that we show at birth. After birth, environmental factors and maturation interact with a child’s temperament to shape their personalities.

6. What are some key personality features that define you?

I have so many personality traits that define me, but there are a few specific ones I could point out. I am a conscientiousness person. I’ve noticed over the years I am agreeable, I’m openness, clever, charming, dominating, admirable, daring, adventurous, and discreet. Some of my traits I picked up as I matured and experienced life. I am honest enough to admit that all my traits are not positive. I have quite a few negative personality traits as well. I’m sometimes irritable, aggressive, cold, forgetful, very impatient, shallow, and possessive. My negative traits are not always upfront. They come out depending on my mood or the situation I’m dealing with at the time. I’ve also learned based on you religious beliefs you learn to control your negative traits. I’ve developed an open heart trait, open minded, nonjudgmental approach, and forgiving trait. These traits were developed because of my religion and maturity on life and how I treat others the way I would like to be treated by others. I was raised in a very religious home and it has played a major role on my personality.

7. Are your personality features consistent, or do they change according to the situation?

I would say that my personality is consistent for the most part, but they also change with ever situation. An unfamiliar situation or a rowdy one can cause you to act in different ways. I situation that causes you to get very angry could cause you to act in a negative way if you are not conscious of your actions. Depending on who I’m dealing with or my mood, my personality will treat people accordingly. Sometimes I struggle with trying to keep a positive attitude with any and every situation, but I am not always successful. I would have to say that your personality does change according to the situation. I would not think it is normal for a person to maintain the same personality for every situation they encounter.

8. What are the main tenets of the psychoanalytic perspective of personality? What do all psychoanalytic theories have in common?

The main tenets were conscious, preconscious, and unconscious, Conscious is what we are thinking about or experiencing at any given moment. Preconscious is what we can readily call consciousness like memories and knowledge. Unconscious are thoughts, desires, and impulses of which we’re not aware: this is the largest level of consciousness. Freund and Jung believed the human mind was divided in three parts. Freund believed that it was id, ego, and superego, while Jung believed it was personal unconscious, collective unconscious, and ego. All psychoanalytic theories have in common that unconscious motives and desires, as well as the importance of childhood experiences in shaping personality.

Theorist Main components of his theory (90 words minimum) Significant differences between the two (90 words minimum)
Freud Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of personality argues that human behavior is the result of interactions among three component parts of the mind, id, ego, and superego. He believe that the three components create complex human behaviors. His theory is known as Freud’s structural theory of personality. It emphasizes on the role of unconscious psychological conflicts in shaping behavior and personality.
ID the most primitive structure of personality.
Ego is the rational and coping part of personality. It’s the most mature structure.
Superego which most of it is unconscious, but some is conscious.
Nature of unconscious: The difference s between the two were Jung believed a storehouse of repressed memories specific to the individual and our ancestral past. Freud believed storehouse for unacceptable repressed desires specific to the individual.
Cause of behavior: Jung believe that past experiences in addition to future aspiration. Freud believe past experience particularly in childhood.
Nature and purpose of the libido: Freud believed a source of the psychic energy specific to sexual gratification and Jung believed a generalize source of psychic energy motivating range of behaviors.
These were the significant difference between the two theories and what helped cause the two to separate.
Jung Jung is known for his research in personality, dream analysis and the human psyche. Jung’s theory puts people in three dimensions and talks about their differences within those. Jung regarded the psyche as made up of a number of separate but interacting systems. The three main ones were the ego, the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious. Jung does not agree with the childhood aspect like Freud. He concentrated on more of the adulthood aspects. He believe that during the middle of a person’s life is when the person becomes unique and develop unconscious qualities that he called individuation process.

Topic: What Should You Eat?
You probably want to live a long and healthy life on this earth. What  are you willing to do to make that possible? Here is an assignment that  can improve the quality of what you eat, and hence, the quality of your  life. Let’s develop the rudiments of a maintenance diet for you—a desirable, workable, realistic, non-faddish maintenance diet—one you follow permanently. You have several reference sources:
– the Bible’s many prescriptive texts regarding nutrition (ignore “descriptive” texts)
– your textbook’s chapter on biomolecules; how they are built and used
– the course Presentation entitled “Biomolecules and Nutrition”
– trustworthy sources such as
– USDA MyPlate:  https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist
– the Mayo Clinic website.  http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle
– Very Well website (David Katz’ site):  https://www.verywell.com/
– Web MD:  http://www.webmd.com/diet/default.htm
The foods you select will contain the same classes of biomolecules that  you read about in your textbook: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins,  nucleic acids, vitamins, and minerals.  Use the following procedure to  build your diet.
For your Thread:
1.  Click on the link below.  This will give you a Word document “work  table” to add your foods to.  You may wish to print a copy for research  purposes.
What Should I Eat – Work Table.docx
2.  Go to the “My Plate Check List Calculator https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist-input   Enter your data to determine how many calories your daily diet should contain. Record this number in your work table.
3.  Now go to the USDA MyPlate web site: https://www.choosemyplate.gov/MyPlate-Daily-Checklist  In  the Table, about the middle of the page click on the box representing  your caloric needs.  Some serving amount data will pop up allocated into  5 food groups.
4. Record the suggested serving amounts in your  work table to give quantitative values to the categories you will build  your diet around.
“What Should I Eat?” – Work Table:

5.  Start to choose foods using the guideline comments given on the webpage.   Use other web pages listed above to get commentary on foods you think  (!) are healthy for you.  Here are two useful ones to give you ideas:
https://www.verywell.com/macronutrients-made-simple-4128991 , https://www.verywell.com/the-basics-of-a-healthy-balanced-diet-2506675
6.   Delete the sample foods listed in the “Fruits” category.  They are  there to show you the format for your own additions.  List specific  foods that you would eat for each group according the numbers indicated  in the first column. The second column of the table will help you with  your category accuracy.  Do not reuse any food under a second category.  You will thus select 50 foods for your diet—not a huge variety, but it’s  a start!  “Leafy greens” or “seafood” are food categories, not   specific foods.
7.  “Mouse over the upper left-hand corner of  the table to find the tiny navigation box and click on it.  This  highlights (“selects”) the whole table.  Copy it to your computer’s  “clipboard”.  You can now paste this table into the “Message Box” of  your open “Thread” in the discussion board.  Along with your table, you  may submit up to two prescriptive Bible passages that you feel most  constrain your dietary thinking.
Hints:
•     Your goal is always to improve your own list. Please include about 70  words for your diet (50 foods, some hyphenated as needed) with space  left over for two Bible verses for a total of 120 words.  That’s your limit!
•    Foods differ in their density of a wide variety of nutrients as  compared to just the calories they give you.  Which sweet would be  better for you:  hard candy or a fig bar?
•    What is in the food item you’ve selected? Check out:  http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/  to find out.
•    Suppose Mayo Clinic wisdom and Biblical wisdom seem to conflict.  Which source will you defer to and why?

TED Talk Analysis

Details:
Objective: To use the knowledge and experience you have gained so far this term to evaluate another speaker’s performance. You will analyze the speaker’s verbal content and nonverbal behavior.
Length: 2 – 4 pages, double spaced. Must be typed and submitted via Canvas.
 
Assignment Requirements:
TED Talks are one of the greatest example of public speaking! One of the best ways to become a better speaker is to watch others deliver presentations- so in this paper you will analyze several TED Talks of your choosing to expose you to public speaking. 

  1. For this paper students will watch and analyze two TED talks. in a 2-4 page, double-spaced paper using at least 10 concepts/ideas/vocabulary words from your readings (i.e. handbook, book), class notes and/or outside sources. Examples of course concepts include: attention getter, transitions, vocal variety, visual aid, etc. Don’t go over 3 pages. Select two TED Talks we have not watched in class. Be sure to reference the textbook, handbook and things we’ve learned in class within your analysis (i.e. which concepts learned thus far are exhibited by the speakers you watch?)
  2. Discuss what the speakers did well in addition to areas for improvement (based on what you have learned about public speaking thus far) and any prior knowledge about public speaking. This is your subjective analysis- you are the critic! Feel free to discuss your own opinions about the talk, how it made you feel, how you related to it, etc.- you may use your own ‘voice’ in this paper (i.e. “I” language). How did the speeches impact you? What stood out? Anything you could relate to? What did you like/dislike? What was cool or dull? Be as specific as possible with details and examples.
  3. A minimum of 2 outside, sourcesmust be cited in the paper- sources can be articles, books or podcasts, or even presentations about public speaking (excluding the textbook or class readings). Search the web to find sources about: public speaking, communication, nonverbal communication, presentations, visual aids, power points, etc. Take what you learn from these sources and use the information within your analysis and critique. As a general rule, if you’re going to reference an outside source within your work, then you’ll probably need to reference it several times; how relevant can your source be if it’s only cited once? These sources will be about public speaking-not the TED talks themselves. Synthesize these source with what you have learned in class. Cite your 2 sources and the 4 TED Talks using MLA or APA  format with a Works Cited/bibliography and in-text citations (see citation handouts on Canvas). Each TED Talk does notcount as one of the outside sources.
  4. Open your paper with a very brief introduction that gives a very short synopsis of each talk- this should be no longer than a short paragraph total. Most of your paper should be your analysis- just jump right into it! Use all the resources provided to you to produce a quality paper. Feel free to use your own voice and “I” language.
