Describe the difference between market justice and social justice.
While maintaining confidentiality, discuss a situation you experienced in practice, or another situation, where there was tension between market justice and social justice.As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, before you can recommend potential pharmacotherapeutics to address a patient’s condition or disorder, you must understand the basic function and structure of the neuron and central nervous system. For this Assignment, you will review and apply your understanding of neuroanatomy by addressing a set of short answer prompts.
To Prepare:
Review the Learning Resources for this week in preparation to complete this Assignment.
Reflect on the basic function and structure of the neuron in relation to the central nervous system.
Reflect on the inter-connectedness between neurons and the central nervous system, including the pathway and distribution of electrical impulses.
Reflect on how neurons communicate with each other and review the concept of neuroplasticity.
To complete:
Address the following Short Answer prompts for your Assignment. Be sure to include references to the Learning Resources for this week.
In 4 or 5 sentences, describe the anatomy of the basic unit of the nervous system, the neuron. Include each part of the neuron and a general overview of electrical impulse conduction, the pathway it travels, and the net result at the termination of the impulse. Be specific and provide examples.
Answer the following (listing is acceptable for these questions):
What are the major components that make up the subcortical structures?
Which component plays a role in learning, memory, and addiction?
What are the two key neurotransmitters located in the nigra striatal region of the brain that play a major role in motor control?
In 3 or 4 sentences, explain how glia cells function in the central nervous system. Be specific and provide examples.
The synapse is an area between two neurons that allows for chemical communication. In 3 or 4 sentences, explain what part of the neurons are communicating with each other and in which direction does this communication occur? Be specific.
In 3–5 sentences, explain the concept of “neuroplasticity.” Be specific and provide examples.
Effective communication is vital to constructing an accurate and detailed patient history. A patient’s health or illness is influenced by many factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, and environmental setting. As an advanced practice nurse, you must be aware of these factors and tailor your communication techniques accordingly. Doing so will not only help you establish rapport with your patients, but it will also enable you to more effectively gather the information needed to assess your patients’ health risks.

Confidentiality is the right to privacy with respect to one’s
personal medical information. The Health Insurance Portability Accountability
Act (HIPAA) was established in 1996.
·
HIPAA is a uniform,
federal act providing protection for health consumers
·
State laws that may
provide additional protections to consumers are not affected by HIPAA
·
HIPAA guarantees that
clients are able to access their medical records
·
HIPAA provides clients
with control over how their personal health information is used and disclosed
·
HIPAA outlines limited
circumstances in which personal health information can be disclosed without
first obtaining consent of the client of the client’s family. They include:
oSuspicion
of child or elder abuse
oWhen
otherwise required by law such as suspicion of criminal activity
oIncidences
of state agency of health department requirements; reportable communicable
diseases
Initial Discussion Scenario:
Jenna Peterson, a 20-year-old college student, made an
appointment to be seen by Susan Grant, M.D. Jenna had been seeing Dr. Grant for
a few years. Dr. Grant was also the long-time family practitioner for Jenna’s
mom and older sister.
On this visit, Jenna said she would like to get a prescription
for birth control pills. They discussed other contraception options, as well as
the risk and benefits of each and decided that “the pill” would be Jenna’s best
option. After reviewing Jenna’s medical history and performing a brief physical
examination, Dr. Grant gave Jenna a six-month prescription for Ortho-Novum
10/11, along with educational materials on oral contraceptives. She told her to
schedule a six-month follow-up appointment over summer break.
When Jenna checked out with the front office, she told the
billing office that she did NOT want this visit submitted to her mother’s
insurance. Instead, she would pay for the visit herself because she didn’t want
her mother to know the reason for the visit. The billing clerk said that she
would send Jenna a bill because the practice’s billing system was undergoing a
software upgrade. Jenna asked that the bill be sent to her college address.
About two weeks later, Mrs. Peterson had a routine appointment
with Dr. Grant. When she checked in, she stopped by the billing office and
asked the insurance clerk to check a notice of claim statement she recently
received from her insurance carrier about a visit by Jenna. Mrs. Peterson said,
“I know Jenna hasn’t been here because she’s away at school.” The clerk said
she’d check on the claim and should have information for Mrs. Peterson by the
time she was done seeing Dr. Grant. Mrs. Peterson was then taken back to an
exam room for her appointment.
While seeing Mrs. Peterson, Dr. Grant inquired about the
Peterson family and mentioned that “Jenna has really blossomed into a
beautiful, intelligent young woman.” Mrs. Peterson thanked Dr. Grant and asked,
“When did you see Jenna?” Dr. Grant unthinkingly said, “Oh, a couple weeks ago
when she was in for her appointment.” When Mrs. Peterson questioned why Jenna
had been seen, Dr. Grant realized she had said too much. She hemmed and hawed a
bit, and finally suggested that Mrs. Peterson talk to Jenna.
Despite Mrs. Peterson’s insistence that she had a right to know
why Jenna was seen, Dr. Grant refused to provide additional details. Mrs.
Peterson was clearly angry with that response and stormed out of the exam room.
On her way out, she stopped at the billing office, and the insurance clerk
confirmed that Jenna was in for an appointment on the day in question and that
the claim was correct.
Assignment: Discuss your responses to the following
questions in your posting?
1.
Was Jenna’s right to
privacy violated by Dr. Grant and the billing office?
2.
Once Mrs. Peterson was
informed of her daughter’s visit, did she have the right to know the reason for
her daughter’s visit?
3.
Does Jenna have the
right to sue for breach of confidentiality? Does Mrs. Peterson have a right to
sue for failure to disclose information for a visit that her insurance company
paid for?
4.
What risk management
recommendations would you give to this organization to prevent future
violations?
Reflection Journal
One of the most effective ways we can understand what it is we know, what we have learned, and what we still need to know is through reflective writing.

Watch the videos on Howard Shultz and his view on leadership and answer the questions: (200-300 words)
Video Overview:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KYhOAbh6D4
After leading Starbucks through a period of rapid growth in the 1980s and 1990s, Howard Schultz stepped down as CEO to head the company’s new global expansion. Despite Schultz’s magic touch, explosive growth began to have a negative impact on product quality. In 2007, Starbucks’ stock plummeted in the face of competition, and it's pricey lattes and Frappuccinos failed to align with the budgets of consumers hurt by the recession. But in 2008, Schultz returned as CEO to refocus the organization on quality while boosting health benefits for employees. Schultz’s heartfelt concern for people helped reestablish Starbucks as a coffee shop that serves high-quality brews to local communities at affordable prices.
Questions:
How does Howard characterize activities at the local Starbucks coffee shop? What does this reveal about the CEO’s ethical leadership, perspective, and values?
What impact did rapid global expansion have on the Starbucks brand? What values were ignored when the organization became singularly focused on growth?
What moral and ethical decisions helped Starbucks regain the loyalty and trust of consumers and employees? How did these decisions serve to reconnect the Starbucks brand with people? Do you agree or disagree with these?
Invitations used to be by mail only. Now invitations to any event can be sent out for free via the Internet, emailed, and even tweeted or shared on social media sites. Depending on the type of event and the budget, one or more methods may be used.
In this discussion, you will address two types of invitations as the event planner: one for a private party, and the other for a corporate client.
Topic: Birthday and Corporate Invitations/Registration
If you are hosting a birthday party for a 15-year-old and 20 of her friends, what would be the most appropriate means of inviting her friends to a fashion show and lunch at the mall?
A corporate client wants to provide novel invitations to a launch party for their new product: a self-driving public bus. Share your ideas.
What is involved in registration for the launch party of 500 persons or more?
American Literature Paper Guidelines
Write a 4-5 page literary interpretation paper, in 12 point standard font with one inch margins, using at least four of the selected readings throughout the semester. You may choose any combination of myths, short stories, plays, or novels within any one or more literary movements that you want.
You need to come up with a theme related to the class topics of RACE, GENDER, CLASS, AND THE “AMERICAN DREAM” that you feel exists in all of your chosen works. Trace this theme throughout the works, and very important, have a purpose for doing this.
Also, very important, the vast majority of your paper must be an interpretation of the works, which means I do not want you to simply summarize the events of the myth, short story, or play. I have read all the works, so I know the plot; I want your unique interpretation on what the hidden meanings of the works are.
You also need to include at least two researched literary interpretation sources. You can find these on the online academic journals provided by the UMC library, or you can obtain them from general online sources, as long as I have approved their credibility. I suggest you know your personal interpretations intimately before you start looking at other critics’ interpretations, so that you won’t be swayed by their opinions.
You should use these interpretations throughout your paper to either support a point that you are making, or to show how a critic’s interpretation is short-sighted, and how yours is superior. These articles will help you understand how an academic literary criticism paper should look, so you can mimic the style for your own paper.
This is an academic paper, so you must maintain 3rd person throughout the entire paper.
Example: First person - WRONG: I think that Homer’s Odyssey is a great book; I think that the theme of love is very important to this work. I really liked the Odyssey because Odysseus reminds me of a time when I was young and went on vacation. I rented a car…
Third person – RIGHT: The theme of love is central to Homer’s Odyssey because of the following circumstances. The reader is first introduced to Odysseus crying on Calypso’s island; he longs for his home, wife, and son…
You want to only prove your thesis in 3rd person, not offer your personal commentary. Just trace the theme and prove it with direct details from the texts. Look on the syllabus for the due date of the paper.
Reflect on the importance of using articles from peer-reviewed journals compared to information from the Internet. Ask yourself who evaluates the accuracy of information that you might obtain websites like Wikipedia and what form of accountability there is to ensuring that information is up-to-date, reliable, and valid.
Review the Final Assignment: Article Review and Critique in Week 10 for this class. Note that you will have to locate an empirical research article from a peer-reviewed journal. Begin to search for an article. Practice navigating the databases in the library by searching topics of interest. (Note: At this point, you do not need to identify the actual empirical research article. The goal of this assignment is to begin getting comfortable navigating the databases in the library).
For this Assignment, complete the following:
Identify a list of 10 peer reviewed social work journals from the library that you might find helpful relative to your social work practice interests.
In a 100-150 word paragraph, discuss why using research studies from peer reviewed journals is important to the development of knowledge in social work. For example, discuss the advantages of having articles reviewed by other scholars and researchers. Then using a case illustration, describe how articles from peer-reviewed journals can help to inform your social work practice decisions with clients, communities, agencies, and/or social work policies.
glance at week 10 assignment (DOES NOT NEED TO BE COMPLETED YET)
By now, you should be aware that the findings from a research study are only part of the story. As a consumer, hoping to inform practice by use of an evidence base, you want to know much more. A sound research study includes all the steps highlighted in previous weeks: reviewing existing literature, focusing a research question, choosing a qualitative or quantitative method for answering the question, designing the study including selection of data collection procedures and/or measures, procedures used, data analysis plan, and findings. In addition, the study commonly discusses how ethical concerns were addressed and acknowledges the limitations of the study. For this assignment, you review a published research study with two purposes in mind:
Observing the structure and content of the article
Comparing the content of the article to the recommended content of sections for a research study.
By Day 7
Submit a 7-10 page critique and review of the article, which includes the title page and the reference list. Follow the guidelines below:
Use the quantitative or qualitative research article that you located and that your instructor approved as part of the Week 5 assignment.
Provide an APA reference for the article you select.
If you selected a quantitative research study, use the "Quantitative Article Review and Critique. If you selected a qualitative study, use the "Qualitative Article Review and Critique." Respond to all the questions.
Competent social workers have many types of skills to complement a wide variety of theoretical knowledge. This skill set and knowledge base is often informed by research. Whether research is quantitative, qualitative, or a mixture of both, the information that well-formed studies yield contribute to the knowledge base of the social work profession as a whole.
For this Discussion, consider how evidence-based research informs social work practice. Think about how research findings translate into social work actions.
By Day 4
Post your explanation of how research informs a social worker’s application of the steps in the process of evidence-based practice. Be sure to explain how research contributes to what a social worker may do in practice. Please use the Resources to support your answers.
