Compare and contrast each of Shneidman’s categories      of suicide and discuss their implications for prevention and post-vention      efforts

 Psychology homework help
 
Answers must be paraphrased (restated in your own words with no quoting permitted), properly source credited, using APA formatting requirements – including within-answer citations and a list of references included at the end of each answer – and at least 600 words each, not counting source citations and references. Answers should be succinct, thorough, articulated in well-organized paragraphs (lists, sentence fragments and bulleted items are not permitted), and more substantive than just definitions of terms, procedures, or issues.
To complete this exam, save a copy of it on your hard drive, construct your answers below each question on a separate page per question, attach a cover page to the front and a reference list to the end .
 
Questions:
 

  1. Psychological abnormality may include deviance,      distress, dysfunction, and danger. First, briefly explain what each term means in this context. Then, for each term, provide a      specific example of when it (e.g., distress) would be considered “normal”      and, separately, an example of when it would be considered      “abnormal”. Last, explain why is it      important to understand this distinction.
  2. Your nephew is taking Intro to Psych as a high school      senior and is confused about which of the models is “best” at explaining      abnormality. Describe for him, in no      more than 100 words per model and using terms he (as a layperson) can      understand, the six major theoretical models of abnormality AND the  biopsychosocial model. Then, briefly      answer his question – which model do you think is best and why? Be sure to support your answer.
  3. Answer both parts of this question. Imagine you are an intake clinician at a      community mental health clinic:
    1. If you had 30 minutes to conduct a preliminary       clinical interview, what information would you be sure to try to get, and       why? Be sure to support your       answer using the text.

Cultural influences and personal values in the delivery of culturally competent nursing care

Cultural influences and personal values in the delivery of culturally competent nursing care

Learning Outcomes
1. Examine personal tendencies for cultural bias, generalization, and assumptions as they influence the delivery of quality health care.
2. Discuss the relationship of health care insurance coverage related to disparities of various culture groups.
3. Compare and contrast the nurse’s role in the delivery of culturally competent care.
4. Apply the concepts that assist in fostering diverse relationships in providing health care on a global level.
Introduction
The course begins with an exploration of cultural influences and personal values in the delivery of culturally competent nursing care to diverse population groups. What we think, feel, and experience throughout our lives both personally and professionally can affect the manner in which we deliver health care. It is imperative for the nurse to practice with the patient’s health and cultural needs as a primary focus. Health care organizations provide guidelines and policies to assist in delivering culturally competent care, but it remains the nurse’s role to ensure they are followed. An evaluation of a case study requires the development of assessment techniques that enhance the student’s ability to apply the learned concepts.

Cell Biology

Due 04-27-2018
3 paragraphs with references and no plagiarism Cell Biology
When you look around at the world, you can see many examples that demonstrate how an object’s or a system’s structure relates to its function. The structure of a highway system, for example, can affect traffic flow. You can, no doubt, think of many other examples.
Your text describes the difference between the or‐ ganelles in a eukaryotic cell and the simpler structure of a prokaryotic cell as an analogy between the chief executive officer’s (CEO’s) corner office and a cubicle. Organelles are like appliances or pieces of furniture that perform specific functions. You can use analogies to describe the structure and function of these organelles as well. For example, a chloroplast is like a solar panel in that it converts light energy to a more usable form. The alignment of chloroplasts in a leaf is similar to the alignment of a solar array, and so on.
Choose 1 organelle from the following list, and use an analogy to explain its function:
Nucleus
Golgi
Lysosome
Mitochondria
Chloroplast
Endoplasmic reticulum
Based on the analogy you created, describe the most significant differences between your organelle and the object you compared it to. If you compared the chloroplast to a solar panel, you might discuss how the chloroplast not only converts sunlight energy into chemical energy, but also how it stores that energy long term in the carbon-to-carbon bonds of sugar molecules. One of the great drawbacks to solar panels is the lack of an efficient storage system.
Use the following guidelines for your paper:
Utilize at least 1 credible source to support the descriptions presented in the paper. Make sure you cite appropriately within your paper and list the reference(s) in APA format on your Reference page.
Your paper should be 2–3 paragraphs in length, not counting the Title page and Reference page. In accordance with APA formatting requirements, it should be double-spaced and include a running
head and page numbers

Gender and  Gender Identity

Week 11 Question 1

When you meet someone new, your brain automatically uses schemas to identify characteristics or behavior that would allow you to classify the person into a group that you may already know. While this is an adaptive and helpful strategy that the human brain possesses, when taken to an extreme, it could lead to the formation of unhelpful or incorrect stereotypes about groups. Take a moment and consider what you already know about intersex, transgender, or other gender variant groups from personal experience, academic or professional work, or influences such as the media. Is your knowledge sufficient to bring sensitivity to work with members of gender variant populations?
In order to bring full sensitivity and awareness to bear on interacting with members of a particular group, humans must bring conscious thought to their perceptions, in addition to the automatic thinking that occurs. In other words, acknowledge commonalities related to gender variance, but also research information on groups, take the time to become aware of individual differences, and always seek to bring cultural sensitivity to your professional work.
For this Discussion, you will research a specific gender variant group of your choice and explain strategies that could be used to increase sensitivity toward members of the group. Remember that, just as biological and psychological diversity exists in other facets of human life (e.g., cognition, personality), so too does it exist in sexuality and gender.
To prepare
· Select a group such as intersex, transgender, genderqueer, or a third gender with which you are not familiar (or the one you know the least about) and search for interviews, personal narratives, blogs, or any other form of information related to this specific population.
By Day 3
Post a description of the group or population you selected. Describe how your impressions, feelings or perspectives changed about this group as you researched the group. Looking forward, what strategies would you use to continue to raise your awareness and sensitivity toward this group?

Political Analysis and Strategies

Nursing homework help

Reaching out a Solution

This assignment is designed to assist you in developing a thoughtful process for advocating about an issue as a nurse, from identifying a problem that needs to be solved through articulating a process for doing so.
This assignment consists of answering each of the questions listed below from the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter of your course textbook. Write each question as a new topic area; then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. Be sure to use APA guidelines for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources, if any used. This project should be no longer than 4 pages.
Let us assume that you are a school nurse in a high school. At a recent school athletic event, a spectator suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. A coach of the home team went into the high school to fetch the automatic emergency defibrillator (AED) only to find out that it was not readily available. In the meantime, an emergency squad arrived and resuscitated the spectator. On Monday morning, you learn of the absence of the AED only to find out that it had been locked in the custodian’s closet. Reflect on the following questions outlined in the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter:

  • What is the issue?
  • Is it my issue, and can I solve it?
  • Is this the real issue or merely a symptom of a larger one?
  • Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?
  • Is it likely to go away by itself?
  • Can I risk ignoring it?
  • What are the possible solutions? Are there risks to these solutions?
  • What steps would you need to take in order to solve the issue?
  • Does anyone else at the school need to be involved in the solution?
  • Where is the power leverage in the school to reach the preferred solution?

Reaching a solution requires the use of power vested in the nurse. Review Box 9-1 (Sources of Power) and determine which type(s) of power the school nurse has in this situation. State your reasons for your answer.

Submission Details:

  • Submit your response in a 4-page Microsoft Word document.
  • Name your document SU_NSG4068_W4_Project_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.
  • Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
  • Cite sources in the APA format on a separate page.
