I have read your article, and I have liked the whole idea in which you have embraced high-level technology to reduce falls in the unit.

/in /by

I have read your article, and I have liked the whole idea in which you have embraced high-level technology to reduce falls in the unit.

The sophisticated technology you have adopted to prevent falls does, not only reduce falls, but also contribute highly in meeting the holistic needs of the patients. I have also liked the idea to use colours to monitor the patients that are at risk of falls, and also to monitor beds where the alarm has not been set well. The use of Morse’s scale to ensure that the patients at risk of falls are identified at the point of admission is highly commendable (Tang, Chow &Siew, 2014). In addition, it is commendable that you have gone ahead to apply new research findings in fall prevention, like identifying the medications that increase the risk of falls. Despite the challenges the system is facing, the benefits outweigh them by far. I would like to add that you will need to invest heavily in training the staff so that this gesture of technology can be utilized maximally.

Response to the second document about CAUTIs:

I have liked your post about CAUTI’s prevention, especially the fact that you have based your post on recent research and the recommendations by the Institute of Medicine bout patient safety. I agree that promoting patient safety is a major aspect of maintaining and improving on the quality of care. I also concur with you that; despite the fact that CAUTIs are among the most common types of healthcare associated infections, they are preventable (Carolyne, Craig, Rajender, Gretchen & David, 2010). It is also commendable that your quality care committee of patient safety on the pilot project has come up with proven, evidence-based results of CAUTIs prevention. For sure, the implementation of this new invention in the entire hospital and other health care institutions will go a long way in reducing CAUTIs, as well as, morbidity and mortality due to CAUTIs.

Describe an integrated approach for understanding Susie’s symptoms of anxiety (avoidance, worry, nervousness, and fearfulness) using Figure 2.12 as a model. For this discussion, consider the following case vignette:

Describe an integrated approach for understanding Susie’s symptoms of anxiety (avoidance, worry, nervousness, and fearfulness) using Figure 2.12 as a model.
For this discussion, consider the following case vignette:

Susie is an 8-year-old Asian American girl; the youngest child in a family of four older siblings. Her parents are both high school teachers. When Susie was 5 years old, she was hospitalized for three weeks for a serious illness. Since that time, she has been in good health.

Susie is extremely shy and avoids situations in which she needs to interact with new people or large groups. She worries about making mistakes in her schoolwork and becomes extremely anxious when taking tests. Sometimes, she becomes so nervous that her heart races; she begins to tremble and has difficulty breathing. Susie is also afraid of the dark and does not want to be alone in her room at night. She often requires the presence of one of her parents or older sisters until she falls asleep.

In your discussion post:

Take the perspective of a theorist from each of the three models of abnormality—biological, psychological, and sociocultural—and briefly explain how you would view the factors leading to Susie’s presenting behaviors.
Describe an integrated approach for understanding Susie’s symptoms of anxiety (avoidance, worry, nervousness, and fearfulness) using Figure 2.12 as a model. Consider how biological, psychological, developmental, systems, and social factors would interact to cause anxiety in Susie.

Examine the change in amphetamine use and abuse in the U.S. from the 1950s to the present. Assignment 2: LASA I—Amphetamine Use and Abuse

/in /by

Examine the change in amphetamine use and abuse in the U.S. from the 1950s to the present.
Assignment 2: LASA I—Amphetamine Use and Abuse

Aaliyah continues to struggle with balancing her work hours and her schoolwork. She has been drinking coffee to help her stay awake, but it is no longer working. She has an exam coming up and needs to stay up to study.

Aaliyah decides to take an amphetamine to stay awake to study for the exam. She promises herself that she will only take it this one time for the exam. The drug allows her to stay awake and alert while she is studying for the exam. She also feels that she is learning the material better as a result of the amphetamine. When the grades are in, Aaliyah receives an A on her work.

As the semester continues, Aaliyah turns to amphetamines more and more often to help her stay awake to complete her schoolwork. Soon, Aaliyah finds that one pill no longer keeps her awake as long as she needs.

She starts taking more than one pill at a time. She knows that taking amphetamines so often is not good for her health, and she finds she experiences an increase in headaches when she takes them, but she continues to take them because they are helping her be successful in school and at work.

Based on the case study, prepare a paper that addresses the following:

Examine the change in amphetamine use and abuse in the U.S. from the 1950s to the present.
Explain to which schedule amphetamines belong and why they are on the Schedule of Controlled Substances.
Explain the effects Aaliyah might be experiencing as a result of her regular amphetamine use. Be sure to include:
Acute effects, chronic effects, and withdrawal
Effects on physiology (brain and body), behavior, mood, and toxicity
Give at least three indications from the case study suggesting there may be a problem with Aaliyah’s substance use. That is, describe at least three likely behaviors that Aaliyah is likely to exhibit if she is misusing amphetamines.
Determine whether Aaliyah has a substance use disorder. Include a discussion of DSM criteria. Use the template to help you make the assessment.

Write a 4-5-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M3_A2.doc.

By Wednesday, May 17, 2017, deliver your assignment to the M3: Assignment 2 Dropbox.
