Assessment

MUST FOLLOW ALL THE GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS BELOW ……

Instructions:

This 2000 word written assignment has two distinct parts that you should address separately. Please use headings for each part.

You do not need to provide an introduction or a conclusion for the written assignment or any of the parts.

There are two family scenarios for you to choose from; select ONE scenario and use this for your entire assignment.

Part 1 – Nursing Care of the Family: Assessment (500 words)

 Create a genogram to visually depict the family’s structure. You must use the PowerPoint slide which will be supplied to you within the Assessment Folder on Learning@Griffith course site to create your genogram. Save the slide as a picture file (*.jpeg), and insert the picture into your document.

  •   Below the genogram, summarise the structure of the family to demonstrate your understanding of the family assessment findings.
  •   Use the Australian Family Strengths Nursing Assessment Guide (AFSNAG) to identify and briefly describe two (2) strengths of the family you are assessing.  Part 2 – Nursing Care of the Family: Planning, Implementing and Evaluating (1,500 words)
    •   Select two (2) issues/challenges for the family or a member of the family you have selected. These issues may be identified by the nurse, family or both. These can be health, social, or developmental family issues/challenges e.g., breastfeeding, social isolation, transition to parenting; they should not be ‘medical’ issues e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure.
    •   For each issue/challenge identified in the family assessment (allow approximately 750 words per issue):
     a) Describetheissue b) Plannursingcare c) Implement nursing care d) Evaluate nursing care o Use appropriate evidence from scholarly literature to describe the issue and discuss what is known about the issue/challenge. o Provide a relevant nursing goal and justify the goal (explain why it is relevant to the issue) using appropriate evidence or policies. o Outline one nursing intervention that supports the family to achieve the goal. Each nursing intervention should be supplemented by the recommendation of an existing online resource for the family and an appropriate referral.

Assignment 2

Topic and Rationale

The topic and rationale includes a detailed description of the client population you have chosen and examines the impact of substance abuse, addiction, recovery, and relapse on this client population, using two to three peer-reviewed journal articles.

Unit 2 Discussion 1

Local Substance Abuse


Base your response to the following discussion topic on the chapters you read in the Doweiko text, Concepts of Chemical Dependency.

Much of the data reported on the effect of substance abuse is on a national scale. However, the most effective responses to the substance abuse problem occur on a local level. Investigate and report on the nature and extent of substance abuse in your own state or community and compare it to that reported nationally. How is it supportive to the families of people with substance abuse issues? Visit the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors Web site for a link to each state’s substance abuse agency.

Unit 2 Discussion 2

Town Meeting


Consider the following scenario.

You are attending a local town meeting. One of the agenda items is the planned establishment of a residential substance abuse treatment program in a currently abandoned building. There is much reaction from the audience, with many people expressing concern that this will become a magnet for drug addicts and result in an increase in crime and other related problems.

Based on the assigned readings for this unit, examine the role that public perceptions and attitudes play in providing adequate treatment for those with problems related to substance abuse. Specifically, answer the following questions:

· As a human service professional who both lives and works in the community, what is your reaction to this issue?

· Does your reaction differ based on your role as a professional versus your role as a resident?

· How would you respond when asked your opinion about this issue?

Why do you think Kotter described leadership and management as complementary systems of action?

Part 1 Transparent and accountable governance and strong leadership are the cornerstones of successful public health operations and delivery of public health services. Respond to the following questions in relation to governance and leadership:

  • What are the differences between governance and leadership?
  • What systems or processes should public health agencies utilize to ensure communication and accountability between their governing board and leaders? Justify your answers.
According to Kotter (2001), ” . . . leadership and management are two distinctive and complementary systems of action. Each has its own function and characteristic activities. Both are necessary for success in an increasingly complex and volatile business environment.” Respond to the following questions in relation to management and leadership:
  • What are the differences between leadership and management?
  • Why do you think Kotter described leadership and management as complementary systems of action?
In recent years, the optimal management structure has shifted from a narrow span of control to a broad or wide span of control. Earlier, three to seven individuals were reporting to the same manager (narrow span), whereas today, it is common to have twenty or more staff members reporting to the same person (broad span), as stated in the course textbook. Based on the readings for this week, the South University Online Library, and the Internet, respond to the following discussion points:
  • Identify at least one pro and one con for each span of control described above.
  • State, with reasons, which of the two structures you would recommend.
Part 2 Several decades ago, Kotler and Zaltman (1971) first used the term “social marketing” to describe the application of marketing theory to solve social- and health-related issues. Since then, social marketing has grown in popularity and usage within the public health community, including within national agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health departments. Some of the factors responsible for the success of national social marketing campaigns are the efficient use of financial resources to develop marketing strategies, consistent messages across geographic boundaries, and uniform evaluation measures. Respond to the following discussion points in relation to social marketing campaigns:
  • What challenges might you expect when adapting a national social marketing campaign in your local community?
  • Recommend ways in which your local health department may address these challenges.

Also, no amount of pages just need to have the answers answered fully adn make sense.  ]]>

What is the function of a sigma factor

Chapters 7 & 8 Study Guide
Provide a detailed response to each essay question. With each question is a helpful hint in red. Make
sure that you answer the actual question…..not just the hint! Write out complete essays in your
BIOL241 notebook.
1. Sample #1 DNA sequence is composed of 10% T. Sample #2 DNA sequence is composed of 40% T. Which sample of DNA will denature the fastest when exposed to high temperature?
Explain why. Hint: The maximum % is 100%. What is the relationship between the number of
AT bonds and GC bonds when it comes to DNA denaturation?
2. What is the function of a sigma factor? Explain why knowing the orientation of a promoter is critical when determining the amino acid sequence of an encoded protein. Hint: What
determines which DNA strands functions as the template strand or the coding strand?
3. Why are semiconservative replication and degeneracy of the genetic code advantageous to the survival of species? Hint: Look at the genetic code of leucine. What would happen if there
was a mutation that resulted in a mRNA codon changing from CUC to CUA?
4. A student sequences DNA and discovers a point mutation in the intron of a segment coding for protein X. Explain what will be the effect of this mutation on protein X. Hint: What is the
difference between an intron and exon?
5. A student wants to study the effects of UV light-induced thymine dimers. Bacteria are exposed to UV light. If the student wants to maximize the amount of thymine dimers, she should
incubate the bacteria in the dark, light or it does not make a difference? Explain. Hint: Review
how mutations caused by UV light are repaired in bacteria.
6. Why is deleting one nucleotide generally more harmful in terms of mutational change than deleting three nucleotide? Hint: Review the types of mutations.
7. You are trying to isolate the mRNA for a gene encoding an enzyme that degrades the sugar mannitol in a species of Staphylococcus aureus. You are having problems with your
experiments because the organism does not produce the enzyme when grow under optimum lab
conditions and on complex media, such as nutrient broth or tryptic soy agar plates. Based on
your knowledge of operons in the regulation of prokaryotic gene expression, what would be the
best way to increase the amount of the desired enzyme? Explain why. Hint: Review the
regulation of inducible operons. What signal(s) are required to induce their function?
8. Why is replica plating used to isolate an auxotrophic mutant from a prototrophic parent? Hint: How are the two mutants different from one another? What mechanisms are used to isolate
them in the lab?
9. Explain why genetic changes have a more profound effect and are more easily observed in prokaryotes then in eukaryotes. Which has a longer-lived effect on a cell, a change in the
genotype or a change in the phenotype? Explain. Hint: What does it mean to be diploid?
What does it mean to be haploid? What is likely to be a more permanent effect – a change in
the DNA or a change in how the gene is expressed?
10. Why are mutation and recombination important in the process of natural selection and the evolution of organisms? Hint: What is the role of genetic diversity in natural selection and
evolution?

Information Systems homework help

i need a paper in a week, how to generate market equilibrium for a product , paper have to be 10 pages
check the presentation for a clear view
this is the abstract for resource allocation for cloud resources, it is similar to my project
abstract:
The emerging edge computing paradigm promises to deliver superior user experience and enable a wide range of Internet of Things (IoT) applications. In this work, we propose a new market-based framework for efficiently allocating resources of heterogeneous capacity-limited edge nodes (EN) to multiple competing services at the network edge. By properly pricing the geographically distributed ENs, the proposed framework generates a market equilibrium (ME) solution that not only maximizes the edge computing resource utilization but also allocates optimal (i.e., utility-maximizing) resource bundles to the services given their budget constraints. When the utility of a service is defined as the maximum revenue that the service can achieve from its resource allotment, the equilibrium can be computed centrally by solving the Eisenberg-Gale (EG) convex program. drawn from the economics literature. We further show that the equilibrium allocation is Pareto-optimal and satisfies desired fairness properties including sharing incentive, proportionality, and envy-freeness. Also, two distributed algorithms are introduced, which efficiently converge to an ME. When each service aims to maximize its net profit (i.e., revenue minus cost) instead of the revenue, we derive a novel conve x optimization problem and rigorously prove that its solution is exactly an ME. Extensive numerical results are presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed techniques.
