Ethical Issues in Counseling Children and Teens [u03d2] Unit 3 Discussion 2
Overview
For this discussion, briefly describe the hypothetical case that you have created (or are creating) for your Unit 3 assignment. Then, identify one potential ethical and one potential legal concern that you would have in mind, as you began counseling with this child or adolescent. Explain the course of action you would take in the first session in order to prevent legal or ethical problems by communicating clearly with your client while also building rapport. Use the course readings for this week to support your conclusions.
Example Scenario
As an example, consider this scenario: Kendra, a 16-year-old student, has been encouraged by her best friend to come see you. Kendra called to make the appointment herself. She lives alone with her mother who works the night shift at a local club. Kendra says she hopes that her mother won’t have to know about her counseling because “she’s always tired,” and Kendra’s concern has to do with a boyfriend her mother dislikes. Kendra has never actually met the boyfriend; he is someone she connected with online who she’s been texting. Recently, the texts have become very sexual and Kendra has begun feeling uncomfortable, although she also finds the relationship exciting.
Based on your readings this week, what would be one potential ethical issue that would be foremost in your mind as you begin counseling Kendra? What would be one potential legal issue? How would you handle these concerns when Kendra comes in?
Discussion Instructions
Now, briefly describe the hypothetical case you have created (or are creating) for this unit’s assignment.

Patient Information: Lily, 20-year-old, Female S. CC: “Sore throat” HPI: The patient is a 20-year-old female who developed a sore throat 3 days ago Location: Throat Onset: 3 days ago Character: sore Associated signs and symptoms: decreased appetite, headache and pain with swallowing Timing: Would ask Exacerbating/ relieving factors: Would ask Severity: Would ask Current Medications: Unknown Allergies: Unknown PMHx: Unknown Soc Hx: Student at the local college. Fam Hx: Unknown ROS: HEENT: Eyes: Ears, nose and throat: Negative for congestion. Positive for runny nose and sore throat, pain with swallowing. GASTROINTESTINAL: Positive for decreased appetite NEUROLOGICAL: Positive for headache O. HEENT: Eyes: Ears, nose and throat: Patient has runny nose, does not sound congested. Patient has slight hoarseness in voice. Diagnostic results: Full vital signs – to include temperature Through mouth and throat exam – specifically looking for puss or enlarged tonsils Rapid influenza test – One study tested 3782 subjects that presented with a fever greater than 38degrees Celsius and either a cough or sore throat. Of these subjects the influenza PCR tested positive 33% of the time and negative 67% of the time. This study showed that the influenza PCR is better at ruling out influenza (Anderson et al., 2018). Monospot test A. Differential Diagnoses Airway Reflux: Acid reflux and sometimes reach higher areas up into the throat. This can create a sore throat and typically leads to a hoarse voice (Adams, 2017). Other symptoms to address include a feeling of a lump in the throat and waking up at night gasping for air (Adams, 2017). Upper Respiratory Infection: Viral upper respiratory infections can create vocal cord inflammation which could be why Lily has a hoarse voice (Dains, Baumann & Scheibel, 2016, p. 9714). Pharyngitis: Bacterial infections can lead to a sore throat and a headache (Dains, Baumann & Scheibel, 2016, p. 9137). Epiglottitis: An infection with H influenza type B, typically presents with sore throat and pain while swallowing (Dains, Baumann & Scheibel, 2016, p. 14434). Mononucleosis: Typically presents with a gradual onset, mild sore throat, malaise and fatigue (Dains, Baumann & Scheibel, 2016, p. 14459). P. References Adams, J. U. (2017).

  • HEENT: Right ear pain. Inquire if      patient has tinnitus, discharge from ear, vertigo, or itchiness. Inquire      if patient has a history of acute otitis media, hearing loss, vertigo,      tinnitus, discharge from ear canal.
  • RESPIRATORY: Inquire if patient      has had post nasal discharge or sputum production and ask about color of      mucous.
  • ALLERGIES:  Unknown

O.
Physical exam:

  • HEENT— Assess outer ear and note      surrounding tissue, shape, color, and any lesions. Assess the external ear      for discharge or any odor. Assess for the placement of a foreign object in      ear. Assess for tenderness on the outer ear near the auricle and mastoid.      Tenderness could indicate a possible infection. Use otoscope to assess      external and middle ear. At this time, assess for erythema, lesions, and      discharge. Inspect tympanic membrane for perforations. Assess the frontal      and maxillary sinuses for swelling. No tenderness or swelling over the      soft tissue should be present. Assess tonsils and inside of mouth for      lesions, erythema, and swelling.
  • RESPIRATORY: Determine if upper      respiratory infection is present, assess for clear lungs.

Diagnostic results:

  • Whispered Voice- Determines if      patient is able to hear whispering. If they do not pass this test, hearing      loss could be assumed. (Ball, Dains, Flynn, Solomon, Stewart, et al.,      2015, p. 241).
  • Weber Test- Determines unilateral      hearing loss (Ball et al., 2015, p. 241).
  • Rinne Test- Determines if the      patient conducts sound better through bone or air. The patient should hear      the sound conducted through the air twice as long (Ball et al., 2015, p.      241)
  • Culture of ear fluid (Attlmayr,      2015).

Differential Diagnoses

  • Otitis externa
    • Often seen with individuals that       swim. This infection is located on the outer ear. Pain is worse when an       otoscope is inserted because sensitivity is on the outer ear. The outer       portion of the ear is often inlamted and tender to touch. When inspecting       the ear, the ear canal would appear narrow. Because of the narrowing,       fluid is unable to drain from the ear (Rosenfeld et al., 2014).
  • Otitis media
    • Otitis media is a middle ear       infection that usually presents unilaterally, hearing loss is present,       and tympanic membrane is pink. Pus often forms inside the ear, which       could cause perforation of the tympanic membrane. Ear pain, fever,       difficulty hearing, irritability, and lethargy can also accompany this       diagnosis. While examining the ear with the otoscope, erythema, dullness,       decrease light reflex, and bulging of the tympanic membrane (Nash,       2013).
  • Eustachian catarrh
    • Often results after an upper       respiratory infection. It would be essential to determine if the patient       has has a recent upper respiratory tract infection. Fluid collects in the       eustachian tube, which causes pain and trouble hearing (Nash,       2013).
  • Cholesteatoma
    • The growth of a skin tag inside       the ear, behind the ear drum. The patient could be born with it or it can       develop after several ear infections. It would be essential to determine       if the patient has had frequent ear infections in the past (Chawla, Ezhil       Bosco, Lim, Shenoy, & Krishnan, 2015).
  • Mastoiditis
    • Mastoiditis is a common       complication of acute otitis media. Pain, erythema, and tenderness are       typically present alone the mastoid process (Attlmayr, 2015).

LASA: National Culture

Assignment 2: LASA: National Culture

The senior management of your company (a small appliance manufacturer) is preparing to open its first product distribution center outside the United States. They desire a location where their fast-paced, flat organizational structure that uses decentralized decision making can thrive. Such an operation relies on workers who are not afraid to make decisions when needed and who can work under minimal supervision. Teamwork is highly valued in the organization.
Senior management is very aware of the need to consider national culture during their deliberations. Additionally, they wish to assess whether theories of motivation known to work in the United States can be applied at the new location.
They have narrowed the list of potential locations to five countries: Norway, Brazil, Portugal, Turkey, and South Korea.
The task of providing input has been given to you. Write a report that does the following:

  • Using Geert Hofstede’s five dimensions of national culture, research each potential location and create a table that provides the scores for each dimension for all the potential countries.
  • Summarize the differences between the countries for each dimension of national culture.
  • Using the described characteristics of the company, determine which cultural dimensions are most important to consider when matching a national culture to the company’s characteristics. Provide a rationale for the choices.
  • Provide a final recommendation for which country should be selected. Explain why they were the best choice.
  • Provide an overview of goal-setting theory, reinforcement theory, and expectancy theory. Make a judgment regarding whether each will be effective in the selected country’s culture. Provide an explanation.

Your final product should be an 8- to 10-page Microsoft Word document and should use a minimum of 5 scholarly sources. Use the five elements required as section headings. Be sure you write in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Purification of Bovine Brain Tubulins

cell Biology

Purification of Bovine Brain Tubulins
Source: Banerjee, A., M. C. Roach, P. Treka, R. F. Luduena. 1990. Increased microtubule assembly in bovine brain tubulin lacking the type III isotype of β-tubulin. J. Biol. Chem. 265: 1794–1799.
Corresponding chapter(s) in the textbook: Chapter 13 (and 4)
Review the following terms before working on the problem: cytoskeleton, microtubules, tubulins, agarose, column chromatography, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Coomassie Blue staining, Western blotting
Read the paper and answer the questions below that refers to the data described in Figure 1 of the paper.
Be prepared to discuss the other experiments described, in class.

Experiment
Tubulin was isolated from bovine brain, purified by phosphocellulose ion exchange chromatography, and further fractionated by affinity chromatography on an anti-2-tubulin-agarose column. (Note: Affinity chromatography is a powerful separation technique based on the specific, noncovalent interaction between two molecules; in this experiment: between β2-tubulin and its antibody. The antibody is immobilized on agarose beads, and the protein solution is passed through the antibody-agarose column. Unbound molecules are washed out with excess sample buffer, and the specifically bound proteins are eluted with a high-salt solution.)
The original tubulin (PC, for phosphocellulose-purified), the unbound fraction (U), and a bound fraction eluted from the column (B) were fractionated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The gels were subjected to the following procedures:
(a) Coomassie Blue protein staining
(b) Western blot with anti-2-tubulin
(c) Western blot with anti-1-tubulin
Figure

Questions
1. Assess the molar ratio of α- and β-tubulins in the phosphocellulose-purified sample (sample 1). Explain your answer.
2. What conclusion can be drawn from comparing samples 1 and 2?
3. What conclusion can be drawn from comparing samples 1 and 3?
4. Evaluate the specificity of the anti-2-tubulin antibody used in the experiment.
5. Evaluate the specificity of the affinity chromatography step.
