The criteria below will be used when evaluating your responses. As a rule, your responses should demonstrate reflective and critical thinking. 

1)  Responses demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter: Your responses should be meaningful – that is, they should indicate that you’ve reflectively and critically thought about the subject matter.    

2) Responses include precise statements supported by evidence (accuracy): Use the provided articles or other resources to support your arguments or opinions; remember to provide the source. Be sure to separate acknowledged, supported facts (bolstered by citations) from personal insights.  Both are valuable, but the two should be distinguishable in your writing.

For example:

  1. a)   Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death and disability among the elderly” (Anspaugh, et al, 2006, p. 39)
  2. b)      Based on the news that I hear every day, I would argue that cancer is probably the leading cause of death.

3) Responses deal with the complexity of the issue; avoids oversimplification; responds to questions (depth). Responses should reflect the seriousness and gravity of the subject matter. Students should consider the intricacy or difficulty of the subject-matter and demonstrate the ability to expand upon ideas or opinions.  

4) Responses include correct grammar and spelling. Your attention to spelling and grammar will directly impact the meaning and value of your response. Take the time to proofread all of your responses.

5) Responses are understandable with clear meaning (clarity). When you write something, make sure that people will understand you. After you type a response, try reading it out loud. Sometimes sentences that seem to be okay when you’re typing don’t really work when you read them back.

  • The pharmacology of nicotine

2. On page 254, our text states that “multiple types of factors influence the development of alcohol use disorder” and alcohol use disorder “is caused and maintained by a combination of biological, psychological, and sociological factors.” It goes on to include that alcohol use disorder cannot be understood unless “all the types of influencing variables” are considered. 

When a patient enters treatment for an alcohol use disorder, step one is the completion of a Biopsychosocial Assessment. Review the Biopsychosocial Assessment below and make a list of the biological, the psychological, and the social or sociological factors that you believe may be contributing to his alcoholism. Lastly, please write at least 6 sentences reflecting your recommendations for this individual. Recommendations can include professional interventions, personal interventions, legal interventions, family-based interventions, medical interventions, etc.

The identified patient (IP) is 44 year old divorced Caucasian male.  IP reported that he took his 3 children on vacation to Ocean City on 8/10/19. On 8/12/19 IP went to the beach with his kids and reported drinking 2 beers. Later that evening he took his kids out to dinner, where he reported drinking 3 nip size bottles of vodka. During their walk home the IP fell. Concerned citizens came to his aid and when they realized he was intoxicated they called the police. When the police arrived they took the IP and his children to the police department. IP’s mother in law drove from Pennsylvania to Maryland to pick up the children. At 11:00pm the IP was transferred to a local medical center where they performed a BAC test. 5 hours after his initial arrest. BAC was .321. IP was confronted on the fact that his recorded BAC does not accurately represent his reported alcohol consumption throughout the evening. IP admitted that he had consumed more alcohol than initially reported but was unwilling to elaborate on how much. After he was medically stabilized the police transferred IP to the local correctional facility. He appeared in front of the judge the following day and was released with 3 charges of endangering the welfare of a child. IP is divorced and had sole custody of his children leading up to the arrest.

IP reported that he had a normal upbringing and there was no abuse within the household growing up. However, he described his father as a “functional alcoholic” and stated that he was very strict with him and his brother. He reported that his mother drank socially and sometimes took medication to help her control anxiety.  His parents divorced when he was 15 years old and he stated that “it sucked.” He and his brother spent the week with their mother and the weekends with their father. IP noted that after the divorce his relationship with his father started to deteriorate and reported that he has not had a relationship with his father for the last 8 years. IP reported that his paternal grandparents were heavy drinkers. He shared that his brother doesn’t have any known substance use problems, but has been in treatment for a gambling addiction twice.

IP was divorced in June of 2015. IP was with his wife for 12 years and noted that they were happy with each other until they had children. He reported that his wife had complaints about his drinking and he feels that this contributed to their separation. IP reported that after their first child his wife told him that she did not want to be married and she did not want to be a mother. They subsequently had two more children. Children are currently 10, 8, and 6 years old.  IP currently has 3 counts of endangering the well fare of a minor. He reported that he has very limited supports in his life and his primary purpose is looking after his children and working.
