Identify the physical and psychological characteristics of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
1a: Describe the symptoms of 2 sleep disorders discussed in our course textbook, their possible causes and treatments.

1b: Identify the physical and psychological characteristics of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. What makes these disorders difficult for patients to recover from and challenging for clinicians to treat?

Answer both of the questions below.

2a. Recall LeVay’s study of brain anatomy in heterosexual and homosexual men discussed in our course textbook. Some critics of the study have suggested that one or more of the men classified as “heterosexual” might actually have been homosexual or bisexual. If such were the case, would that fact strengthen or weaken the study’s overall conclusions? Why?

2b. What changes in ability to empathize with others would you expect to see in someone with damage to the amygdala? Answer this question by first describing what empathy is and what is required to be able to empathize with others and what the normally functioning amygdala’s function is, and then discussing what characteristics a person with a damaged amygdala would have.

Answer both of the questions below.

3a: Describe the role of the human amygdala in emotions and the role of serotonin synapses in aggressive behavior.

3b: ADHD is diagnosed far more frequently in the U.S. today than in the past, and far more often in the U.S. than in Europe. Suggest at least two possibilities for why this is the case and indicate whether it is testable and what methods researchers would use to test each of the hypotheses you proposed in answering this question.

Answer both of the questions below.

4a: What is meant by the “neurodevelopmental hypothesis” and the “dopamine hypothesis” of schizophrenia? Describe evidence for and against the latter hypothesis.

4b: Research on sensitization of the nucleus accumbens has dealt with addictive drugs, primarily cocaine. Would you expect a gambling addition to have similar effects? Why or why not? How could a researcher test the possibility that it would?

Explore some of the opportunities and challenges that face the U.S. Public Health organization when embracing CQI.

Answer each part separately and label accordingly. No plagiarism! Provide all references used and cite in text where used. Due on Saturday May 20, 2017 by 5 pm.

PART #1 (150 WORDS)

There have been many allegations of a nursing shortage, using both the healthcare planners’ and economists’ definitions of shortages. The American Hospital Association complained of a nursing shortage in the 1950s and 1960s and supported these claims by noting the high vacancy rates in registered nurse positions and the substitution of less highly trained licensed practical nurses for RNs. Congress responded by passing the Nurse Training Act (NTA) in 1964, which began a tradition of government subsidization of nurses’ training. Between 1971 and the present, there appears to have been a number of periods of adjustment in which high vacancy rates were followed by policy to expand nurses’ training, followed by reductions in shortages. Explain the health care financing and economic principles as they apply to this course of action and what would be the more efficient and effective economically to best keep supply and demand for nurses in alignment?

Analyze the potential issue surrounding the death of John’s wife and other potential litigants against PharmaCARE as a result of AD23.

You are a new associate at the law firm of Dewey, Chetum, and Howe. John, a former researcher at PharmaCARE, comes to your office. He has concerns about PharmaCARE’s use of AD23, one of the company’s top-selling diabetes drugs. Two (2) years ago, after PharmaCARE’s research indicated that AD23 might also slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, John and his team of pharmacists began reformulating the drug to maximize that effect. In order to avoid the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) scrutiny, PharmaCARE established a wholly-owned subsidiary, CompCARE, to operate as a compounding pharmacy to sell the new formulation to individuals on a prescription basis. CompCARE established itself in a suburban office park near its parent’s headquarters. To conserve money and time, CompCARE did a quick, low-cost renovation.

CompCARE benefited from PharmaCARE’s reputation, databases, networks, and sales and marketing expertise, and within six (6) months had the medical community buzzing about AD23. Demand soared, particularly among Medicare, Medicaid, and Veterans Affairs patients. Seeing the opportunity to realize even more profit, CompCARE began advertising AD23 directly to consumers and marketing the drug directly to hospitals, clinics, and physician offices, even though compounding pharmacies are not permitted to sell drugs in bulk for general use. To circumvent this technicality, CompCARE encouraged doctors to fax lists of fictitious patient names to CompCARE. PharmaCARE sold CompCARE to WellCo, a large drugstore chain, just weeks before AD23 was publicly linked to over 200 cardiac deaths.

As CompCARE and its new parent company enjoyed record profits and PharmaCARE’s stock price approached $300 per share, reports started surfacing that people who received AD23 seemed to be suffering heart attacks at an alarming rate. The company ignored this data and continued filling large orders and paying huge bonuses to all the executives and managers, including John, whose wife recently died from a heart attack after using AD23.

John has come to you with an internal company memo describing the potential problems with AD23, and information describing the company’s willingness “roll the dice” and continue to market the drug.

Your senior partner has asked you to write a memo outlining the following issues for review by the senior partners.

In preparation for this assignment, use the Internet or Strayer Library to research examples of intellectual property theft that occurred within the past two (2) years.

Write an eight to ten (8-10) page paper in which you:

Research three to five (3-5) ethical issues relating to marketing and advertising, intellectual property, and regulation of product safety and examine whether PharmaCARE violated any of the issues in question.
Argue for or against Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) marketing by drug companies. Provide support for your response.
Determine the parties responsible for regulating compounding pharmacies under the current regulatory scheme, the actions that either these parties or the FDA could / should have taken in this scenario, and whether PharmaCARE could face legal exposure surrounding its practices. Support your response.
Analyze the manner in which PharmaCARE used U.S. law to protect its own intellectual property and if John has any claim to being the true “inventor” of AD23. Suggest at least three (3) ways the company could compensate John for the use of his intellectual property.
Summarize at least one (1) current example (within the past two [2] years) of intellectual property theft, and examine the effect on that company’s brand.
Analyze the potential issue surrounding the death of John’s wife and other potential litigants against PharmaCARE as a result of AD23.
Specify both the major arguments that John can make to claim that he is a whistleblower and the type of protections that he should be afforded. Justify your response.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable reference and proprietary Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

This is a 1500 word essay concerning the critical evaluation of partnership working within your area of practice. This assignment is intended to demonstrate your ability to understand and promote partnership working with service users or carer. This is a theoretical essay (not a case study) so the expectation is that you explore contemporary literature and policy as an evidence base for your discussion.
Guidance for your essay
Generic issues:
 Your essay should focus on a specific intervention with a service user or carer:
 This is not a reflection on something you have done with a service user or carer; it is purely a theoretical essay which requires you to explore contemporary literature.
 You need to provide a brief rationale for your topic choice and include as an appendix, it is not counted in your word count.
 Your evaluation should include reference to partnership working, and the potential barriers or difficulties of this in relation to your intervention.
 You should not duplicate work done in previous modules i.e. choose a different focus to analyse.
O The essay is a critical evaluation of a nursing intervention with a specific focus of how working in partnership with SU/C can be achieved.
O The essay is not a reflective essay or a case study.
O Understand that this is not about the benefit long term self care or management (which was the LTC assignment).
O Understand that partnership working relates to a service user / carer / professional specific interaction, which may occur at any point of contact.
O Recognise that in this instance partnership working relates to the sharing of information between SU/C and professional with the aim of each party having a clear understanding of their role and agreeing a way forward. It is not about partnership working between health professionals.
You can
O Choose something which you have seen in practice but DO NOT write a reflection of this event it is theoretical – so literature based evidence which supports the partnership working aspects.
O Choose something that interests you.
You cannot
O Use something you have already covered in Long term condition, Health promotion or TP1/2/3
The essay must have a clear focus, for example:
O Working with a patient to make decisions about managing a disfiguring condition such as stoma formation, amputation, burns, hair loss, scarring.
O Supporting stroke patients carers to make decisions about managing mobility at home.
O Agreeing strategies for managing pre op anxiety or post op pain
O Planning for changes following a life altering diagnosis, such as neurological disease, dementia, paralysis.
O Managing an aspect of care regarding a new diagnosis. E.g. agreeing a plan with a patient newly diagnosed with epilepsy for maintaining safety in the community
ESSAY STRUCTURE
O Introduction- Two or three sentences outlining the focus of the essay, for example “This essay will analyse and evaluate an intervention undertaken to work in partnership with a service user to develop a strategy for managing ……
O Discussion on partnership – definitions and importance of health professionals and SU/C working in partnership to plan and make decisions. This discussion should look at policy, benefits, values (autonomy, choice, control), and interventions that support partnership working.
O Whilst we want you to consider the quality of the literature/research remember this not a research essay. You need to be concise.
O An exploration of the intervention you have chosen, with particular reference to partnership working.
Conclusion
O Understand is not about something you did, it is about the literature, finding the positives, pitfalls, problems and barriers to effective partnership working relating to your chosen topic
WHAT CAN BE INCLUDED
O Barriers and enablers of partnership working
O Moving away from a paternalistic model (professional knows best) to partnership model (patients and professionals each have a part to play)
O Decision making, and patient capability/capacity
