Case B 14-year-old biracial male living with his grandmother

Case B 14-year-old biracial male living with his grandmother in a high-density public housing complex.

To start, we should always keep in mind how personal their experience with us can be. They can be coming to us with many issues as far as health both physical and mental, socioeconomic issues, potential unsafe living situations, and many other stresses that life can throw at people. These are all important things that should be discussed besides the chief complaint. We must assess home situations, access to care, social situations, etc. It is important to make sure that we are being personable and not just going through the motions.

We should always knock before coming into the room, introduce yourself and get your patient’s name, make sure that the room has good lighting and is a temperature that is comfortable to the patient, discuss what has brought them in, and discuss what their understanding of the problem is (Ball, Dains, Flynn, 2019). This will show the patient that you care and that you seem them as an individual rather than just another patient for the day. This also instills confidence and makes them more likely to open up to you about different issues. It is always important to include the patient in their care rather than just discussing only your thoughts with them while dismissing their thoughts. Including the patient in their care is known as patient-centered care and is an important part of providing safe and high quality care (Santana, Manalili, Jolley, Zelinsky, Quan, Lu, 2018). That is the reasoning behind using the listed techniques.

I think for the risk assessment instrument, I would use IHELLP. It stands for income, housing, education, legal status, literacy, and personal safety. Since my patient is only 14 and living with a grandmother in a public housing complex, I would have concerns about access to care and resources as well as their living situation and education. This would allow me to explore things like employment status, whether or not the patient has any health coverage or is on any kind of assistance, whether or not they are in safe housing, if they have any substance use disorders, proper education, and safe living situations (Berman, Patel, Belamarich, Gross, 2018). I would be interested in the patient’s chief complaint as well, but we must assess home situations also. We must ensure that our patients are in good hands and properly cared for both in and outside of the office or hospital setting.

It is difficult to narrow it down to just five targeted questions, but if I had to ask only five, they would be the following.

Do you feel safe at home?

How do you cope with stress?

How do you feel about your time spent in school?

Do you feel you have good access to care and resources?

How do you view your health and what are your expectations for care?

I would hope that this would give me an idea of what the patient’s life is like as far as education, safety, concerns, resources, how they see themselves, and what their goals are as far as health. There would be much more to discuss. Sometimes patients of this age can have an especially difficult time expressing themselves or feel nervous about discussing certain topics or even seeking help. Great care would be needed as well as a delicate approach and close attention to all verbal and non-verbal cues.

What core values would you risk your life and freedom to defend?

 Introduction

At the very end of Chapter 13, there is a Group Exercise that asks: What ideals would you go to war to defend? We are not going to ask you to go to war, but we are going to ask you to think about what ideals or values you believe would be worth defending – even to the point of risking your life in their defense.

When Nazi Germany overtook Europe in the early 20th Century, resistance movements sprung up in the occupied countries, and many civilians risked – and lost – their lives against Nazisim. Today, in Saudi Arabia, women who protested restrictions on the rights of women imposed by that country have been jailed, and remain jailed, even after some of the rights they asked for have been granted.

What core values would you risk your life and freedom to defend?

Could a nation going to war be appropriate in certain circumstances – or is war never an appropriate response?

The healthcare world and the world overall is now a very different place since the COVID-19 global

 For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:

The healthcare world and the world overall is now a very different place since the COVID-19 global pandemic uprooted people's daily lives. Healthcare policy had to change on a dime in many places. For example, hospitals fearing the worst limited the visitation of family members to those loved ones struck with illness (both COVID and non-COVID). New parents had to take turns seeing their newborns. Telehealth has taken on a new leading role in many healthcare organizations because face-to-face visits were no longer acceptable due to nationwide lockdowns. Many organizations did this to mitigate risk and follow strategic national policy. Your organization has decided to take a stand to implement the same strategy. Its policy is to not allow any visitors during a lockdown.

In this class debate, you are going to be placed on a side of the new visitation policy. Your task is to argue for or against the new policy based on your last name. Those with last names beginning in A–M will argue against, and those with last names beginning in N–Z will argue for. You are tasked with presenting your case to the class on why or why not the policy should stand. Cover the following:

Consider how this has changed the way that you view healthcare access and equality.

Consider the risk to the organization.

Consider the impact of the decision.

Should there be exceptions to the policy? Why or why not?

Use data and evidence from literature to support your argument.

Remember that in healthcare administration, you are often tasked with supporting unpopular policy; it is not your job to change this policy; rather, your job is to defend the side that you are on respectfully.

For this progress paper you will develop a college level research paper addressing both of the following topics

 For this progress paper you will develop a college level research paper addressing both of the following topics:

In 2011, the U.S. Government released the first ever (and only) strategy to specifically address homegrown violence inspired by radical ideologies (Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States) which was followed by a more detailed Strategic Implementation Plan for Empowering Local Partners to Prevent Violent Extremism in the United States. These documents resulted from the identification of violent extremism and terrorism inspired by al-Qaeda as the "preeminent security threats" to the United States. Analyze this strategy and evaluate its effectiveness today to deal with the full range of domestic terrorism threats including from right wing, left wing/anarchist (Antifa) and Jihadi homegrown threats. Describe what elements you think are missing or should be reinforced in order to have a comprehensive and effective strategy to deal with homegrown terrorist attacks (regardless of the underlying ideology or political motivation). [See note]

Terrorism is politically motivated violence against non-combatants in order to spread fear (terrorize) and to force some change in policy. Terrorists attack indirectly (in civilian disguise) and against "soft targets" in order to strike fear and get attention to gain support for their cause (recruits, funding, propaganda). They seek revenge, renown, and reaction and are all about scaring civil society and making themselves known. So global news media agencies and the internet are both perfectly suited tools for terrorists to spread their message. How can we reduce terrorist use of the media and the internet as a tool for their evil purposes? Address both the media and the internet separately in your answer.

Note: This course is focused on politically motivated violence that is commonly called terrorism, and which always has some purported underlying cause. Do not address deranged massed shooters with serious mental dysfunctions as that is well outside the scope of this course. These people cannot be deterred and many often expose ideology as a reason when that is really just a distraction from the real proximate cause of the attack – their mental illness.

Technical Requirements

Your paper must be at a minimum of 6-8 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).

Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content; however, a minimum of ten (10) scholarly sources are required to support your paper.

Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.

Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. 

Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc

From a health information system perspective

 From a health information system perspective, there are federal laws relative to information management, data authentication, health exchange, standards, and end user needs. Additionally, organizations can choose to become accredited or certified. Accrediting organizations endorse, facilitate, and provide standards to protect patient health information. Meanwhile, laws are in place to ensure the safety and security of patient health information. The standards of patient’s health information safety and security within organizations are clearly outlined and widely adopted by all legitimate health care organizations.

Introduction to Standard IM.01.01.03

The primary goal of the information continuity process is to return the hospital to normal operations as soon as possible with minimal downtime and no data loss. The hospital needs to be prepared for events that could impact the availability of data and information regardless of whether interruptions are scheduled or unscheduled (due to a local or regional disaster or an emergency). Interruptions to an organization’s information system can potentially have a devastating impact on its ability to deliver quality care and continue its business operations. Planning for emergency situations helps the organization mitigate the impact that interruptions, emergencies, and disasters have on its ability to manage information. The hospital plans for interruptions by training staff on alternative procedures, testing the hospital’s Emergency Operations Plan, conducting regularly scheduled data backups, and testing data restoration procedures.

Justify two information management standards from the list below as outlined by The Joint Commission. You are required to expand upon the Elements of Performance.

The hospital plans for managing information.

The hospital plans for continuity of its information management process.

Regardless of whether an organization uses a paper-based system or an electronic system, a plan to address the process for information continuity, including knowledge-based information, should be in place. Hospitals that plan for maintaining access to electronic information systems by using various electronic backup and restoration procedures can quickly recover from interruptions with minimal downtime and data loss.

Identify a cybersecurity-related attack

Introduction to Risk

Individuals, businesses and governments face risk daily. Risk is manifested in different forms and may be described as business, non-business, or financial. Irrespective of the type of risk, it’s important to remember the basic goals of security - to maintain confidentiality and integrity, while also ensuring the availability of data and systems. Organizations and governments usually employ different approaches to mitigating risks, but with a good understanding and consideration for risk elements including (i) vulnerabilities, (ii) threats & threat agents, (iii) impact, and (iv) likelihood. Other considerations include an organization or government’s appetite for risk, business goals, as well as internal and external drivers (laws, regulations, and standards). Proven strategies to deal with risk employ an enterprise risk management approach, and also rely on risk management frameworks including but not limited to: NIST’s risk management framework, ISACA’s risk IT framework, and COBIT 2019.

Overview

Follow these directions to complete the assignment:Identify a cybersecurity-related attack:Using scholarly sources and/or the web, research, identify, and share an example of a cybersecurity-related attack.

Explain the difference between financial statements

 Explain the difference between financial statements and pro forma financial statements. Describe how these statements are developed and used in financial management and planning.

Respond:

pro forma financial statement projects performance over a period that has not yet happened. By using fictitious data or assumptions about future values. Unlike a financial statement, which is based on previous actual transactions, financial statements are documents that describe a company's operations and financial performance.

Describe how these statements are developed and used in financial management and planning.

Investors, market analysts, and creditors assess a company's financial stability and profit potential using its financial statements.

A company's financial performance for a future time can be predicted using pro forma financial statements. Pro forma predictions are used by businesses to help them prepare for the best-case and worst-case scenarios.

The knowledge a corporation may learn from pro forma income statements is crucial. The financial accounts can assist in estimating if generating new items would result in higher expenditures, for instance, if it is getting ready to create new products.

Financial statements include income statements, balance sheets, and statements of cash flows. Traders can use these three statements as educational tools to assess a company's financial health and to determine its underlying worth quickly.

Week 7 Assignment - Case Study: Environmental Ethics

 Week 7 Assignment - Case Study: Environmental Ethics

Introduction

Read the following case study and respond to the question below.

In April 2010, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded, killing 11 workers and spewing four million barrels of light crude oil into the Gulf of Mexico. It was the largest oil spill in U.S. history and ranked among the top 10 world’s worst human-caused environmental disasters. Approximately 47,000 square miles, or one-fifth of the total area of the Gulf, was affected, as well as beaches and coastal marshes. Before it was finally contained three months later, the spill killed hundreds of sea turtles, sea birds, and marine mammals, in addition to countless fish. BP worked with the U.S. Coast Guard and other government agencies to contain the damage. BP ended active clean-up operation in November 2011 and is now focusing on restoring areas damaged by the spill. 

Effects of the spill on the ecosphere and animal life will not be known for years, although recovery has been faster than expected. Hundreds of people, including fishers, shrimpers, and workers in the tourism industry, were out of work as a result of the spill. BP set up a $20 billion fund to compensate victims of the spill. Disputes overcompensation are still ongoing (1).

The explosion causing the spill occurred on April 20, 2010. On April 30, the U.S. Justice Department banned new drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. U.S. President Barack Obama used the authority granted to the president by the 1953 Outer Continental Shelf Land Act, to withdraw all the Chukchi Sea and the majority of the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic from future oil and gas drilling. (2) 

The Trump administration has opened up the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic U.S. coastal areas to oil and gas drilling. Environmentalists argue that it would be difficult or almost impossible to contain an oil spill in the Arctic because of the area's remoteness, the ice cover, and the lack of daylight during the winter months.   

Question: Should we be drilling for oil in the Arctic offshore?

You are the manager of Acme Fireworks

You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, puts on ground display fireworks, and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owner’s garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it. The owner has asked you to do the following: Determine if the contracts with the businesses will be governed by common law or the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), and explain why. Analyze whether the owner formed a contract with the businesses and apply the five essential elements of an enforceable contract. Explain the potential personal liability to Acme Fireworks if a spectator is injured by a stray firework from a fireworks display. Discuss the different employment types and relationships relevant to agency law, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of each type specific to Acme Fireworks. Explain why Acme Fireworks should not operate as a sole proprietorship. Recommend a new business entity, and provide the rationale to support your recommendation. For each task, be sure to analyze the relevant law, apply the facts to the law, and make a conclusion. The paper Must be 8 to 10 double-spaced pages in length (not including title and references pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center (Links to an external site.). Must include a separate title page with the following: Title of paper Course name and number Instructor’s name Date submitted Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement. Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought. That is, describe what your response is to the content, either positive or negative, and defend your position. If multiple options, alternatives, and/or positions are present and are being rejected, you must also defend the reasons for rejecting an option. Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis. Must include at least five scholarly sources, two of which must be from the University of Arizona Global Campus Library and the course text. Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Writing Center. Must include a separate references page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Writing Center Reference for the course text is Rogers, S. (2012). Essentials of business law.

Policy analysis begins with a review of current literature

 Policy analysis begins with a review of current literature. Health care leaders must understand how and why laws are created. The best way to explore the historical significance and underpinnings of current legislation is to read the literature. Health policy making and legislation are dynamic processes influenced by multiple factors. A thorough review of the literature helps a policy analyst determine whether specific legislation is having the intended impact and if it has produced unintended consequences. In addition, a literature review enables informed recommendations for policy changes and advocacy.

This assignment provides an opportunity for you to complete an in-depth literature review related to the health care legislation you chose to investigate in this course.

By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment criteria:

Competency 2: Evaluate significant federal and state legislation that affects the scope of, access to, availability of, and reimbursement for health care services.

Summarize findings from the literature on the effects of legislation on the scope, access to, availability of, and reimbursement for health care services.

Analyze the effects of at least one piece of legislation on health care access, cost, and/or quality.

Competency 3: Analyze the effects of values and assumptions inherent in the changing priorities in health planning and resource allocation.

Articulate underlying assumptions, values, and biases in the literature.

Competency 5: Recommend possible initiatives available to address current gaps in health care policy.

Identify current gaps in health care policy.

Evaluate the effectiveness of specific legislation in closing current gaps in health care policy.

Competency 6: Communicate effectively, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with applicable organizational, professional, and scholarly standards.

Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style.

Scenario

The health care think tank board of directors was intrigued by the introduction to your proposed research and has approved your choice of legislation as the focus of your investigation. Consequently, you have been given approval to proceed with the research. Your next step will be to conduct a review of the literature to determine the impact that your legislation has had on the industry and on various stakeholders, including patients.

Instructions

Conduct a review of current literature related to the research question you developed in your Unit 3 assignment. Chapter 14 of the Teitelbaum and Wilensky (2019) text provides a robust discussion on structuring a policy analysis. Tips in this chapter may help you with this section of your work.

Include at least 12 articles, with a focus on how your chosen legislation has affected health care facilities, health plans, communities, and various stakeholders, including patients. Seek literature that will help you answer your research question.

Be sure that your review of the literature captures the diversity of views. Most policies are steeped in controversy, and few will agree on the benefits of a particular policy. The more recent the policy, the more likely you are to find diverse opinions.

Summarize your findings from the literature. Consider organizing your literature review using subheadings to discern conflicting findings and viewpoints.

Document Format and Length

Organize your literature review as follows:

Introduction and the topic legislation.

Brief description of the search strategy you used to secure the needed articles.

Historical overview or context for the legislation.

Current context for the legislation.

Intended outcomes and possible unintended consequences.

Specific theme of how the legislation affected the specific element of health care (the “Y” part of your research question).

Possible gaps in the legislation.

Summary.

Your literature review should be 6–8 pages of content plus title and references pages.

Evaluation

The following requirements correspond to the grading criteria in the assignment scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.

Summarize findings from the literature on the effects of legislation on the scope, access to, availability of, and reimbursement for health care services.

What is known, unknown, or uncertain in your findings?

 What disagreements or controversies did you uncover in your review?

 Is further research required?

Analyze the effects of at least one piece of legislation on health care access, cost, and/or quality.

 Is the legislation clear in its application and scope?

What factors determine its impact on health care access, cost, and/or quality?

Articulate underlying assumptions, values, and biases in the literature.

How do these factors influence the authors’ arguments and conclusions?

How might your perspective or position influence your analysis?

Analyze current gaps in health care policy.

What evidence do you have to support your findings?

Evaluate the effectiveness of the legislation you have chosen to investigate in closing current gaps in health care policy. 

On which criteria do you base your assessment?

What evidence do you have to support your conclusions?

Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and appropriate form and style.

Write with a specific purpose and audience in mind.

Disney has relate to their studio

 Many of the costs Disney has relate to their studio and its existence regardless of how much they produce. These costs are fixed costs, as they do not change with production levels. Disney has made great use of this approach by releasing their products in a way that these high fixed costs are spread across a very large number of units. In this case, making the movie would use job costing as you said, but releasing the DVD would more likely use process costing, as each DVD is the same as every other one for that title. In many ways, the cost of the movie becomes fixed, while the distribution of the movie becomes variable.

Does the perspective on the product make a difference in how we account for it internally? How has the Internet changed our variable costs?

However, over the last three months, Blake has been regularly late to work, has called-in sick more than five times, and when he is at work, he has spent most of his time away from his desk, chatting with other employees and otherwise off-task. Upper management agrees that his personality fits well in the company, and you want to keep him; however, his recent behavior cannot be ignored.

As the manager of Blake’s department, you have the task of disciplining him with a formal, written warning, which must include an assessment of Blake’s performance to date and a specific improvement plan. Your plan should include measurable goals for Blake that will allow both Blake and the company to track his improvement within the timeframe you see fit.

Fruit of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine

 Assignment Details

The concept of the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine stems directly from the Exclusionary Rule. It is a method of explaining the concept of the Exclusionary Rule. It compares the Exclusionary Rule to a Tree that is poisonous and all of the fruit from that tree is also poison. The tree represents actions by law enforcement that are not appropriate and violate the 4th Amendment. Any fruit, which represents the evidence seized as a result of inappropriate actions by authorities is considered “poisonous” and not admissible in the court proceeding.

This video examines the concept of “The Fruit of the Poisonous Tree" (Ray Law Criminal Defense Attorneys, 2020):

Address the following in 3-4 pages:

Describe the Exclusionary Rule and how it is meant to protect citizens of this country. 

Identify at least 2 methods of demonstrative evidence that would explain the concept of best evidence. You may use scenarios to describe the theory of best evidence. 

Explain the need for an absolute adherence to avoiding any evidentiary issue that would result in a Fruit of the Poisonous Tree violation (4th Amendment). 

Explain the court's displeasure with issues like the Christian Burial Speech. What might it mean in the long run to a serious case just as it did with Brewer v. Williams?

Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.

Note: For this exercise, do not involve military use of waterboarding on enemy combatants. That is another issue that your investigators will not have to face.

This assignment will also be assessed using additional criteria provided here.

You are a paralegal

 Scenario

You are a paralegal; your job is to review applications for a class action lawsuit. Currently, you are working to find individuals who have been exposed to high levels of arsenic in the local drinking water, negatively impacting their health and development. (Learn more about the impact of arsenic on human development on the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry website). You are meeting with individuals seeking to join in the lawsuit due to their health experiences. However, your boss is acutely aware of the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) Study and is highly concerned that the individuals in the community have other exposures or genetic issues that have influenced their health.

Consider Jacob. Jacob is a 45-year-old man who is married and works a full-time job as a coal miner. Jacob was born with born developmentally delayed. His IQ is low, and he was in speech therapy throughout his childhood. Jacob had bladder cancer when he was 12 years old. He received chemotherapy and has been in remission since Jacob’s parents divorced when he was ten due to domestic violence and alcohol abuse issues in the home. His father was an alcoholic, and Jacob’s parents smoked cigarettes. Jacob always had a positive relationship with his mother, who did her best to protect him from abuse and his father’s anger. Jacob and his mother have a tight bond because of their experiences with Jacob’s father. Jacob has not seen his father since the divorce and recently learned that his father died from lung cancer. Jacob struggles when he gets mad, often yelling or stomping around and hitting walls. Jacob’s mother often showed fear when Jacob would get angry as a teen. Jacob’s extended family constantly notes that he is the spitting image of his father, sharing a similar height, weight, and coloring. As Jacob ages, he is starting to have health problems similar to his mother, including skin lesions and respiratory issues.

Instructions

The lead attorney has asked you to go through Jacob’s summary and highlight things that might be related to Jacob’s exposure to arsenic in the drinking water. He also wants you to explain which things may be related to genetics and the environment in which Jacob was raised.

Address the following questions in the report to the lead attorney:

Which aspects of Jacob’s story could result from Jacob being exposed to arsenic in his drinking water? Explain why.

Which aspects of Jacob’s story are genetic influences? Explain why.

Which aspects of Jacob’s story are environmental influences? Explain why.

Provide a summary of how genetic and environmental factors influence growth and development throughout a person’s lifespan.
