The post Discuss in some detail each of the categories of problems associated with the use of Fiscal Policy appeared first on USA Dissertation Editors.

Explain why you took the approach you did – i.e.: casual conversation oral presentation, polished video education resource, interactive workshop, referenced academic paper etc. and how it is relevant to your target group.

  • Explain why you took the approach you did – i.e.: casual conversation oral presentation, polished video education resource, interactive workshop, referenced academic paper etc. and how it is relevant to your target group.

Length:  Negotiable – make a time to speak with your lecturer before Week 8 to discuss your planned resource.  The word count will depend on the type of education resource you are creating.

 

Objectives and Outcomes

In your role as a nurse your ability to communicate and advocate for Recovery is critical.  Both at an individual level for consumers and at a systemic level, to take the new learning you have gained in this course back to your work environment.  You will be assessed on how well you can understand, explain and advocate for the principles of Recovery. The secondary outcome of this task is to provide you with a real-world resource to use in your work role.

In Part 1 you will create a Recovery Education Resource after consultation with your lecturer, in Part 2 you will write about your experience.

As this assessment has several parts, carefully re-read the information to make sure you fully understand it.  If in doubt, ask your lecturer questions on the Q & A forum.

 

Assessment Timeline.

You will need to spend a minimum of 4 weeks on your Recovery Education Resource.  You should begin thinking about what you might do around Week 6 and make a time to talk to your lecturer by Week 8.  She can assist you to brainstorm and refine your idea.  The conversation is to help you develop the idea – not to judge how far you’ve gotten with it so don’t be concerned if you’re not sure yet what to focus on.  You will begin working on your Recovery Education Resource before the start of Week 9

 

The Task – Part 1.

Develop a Recovery Education Resource relevant to your workplace.  The key to this assessment is Relevance.  You will need to think about who in your workplace most needs Recovery education and what would be the best way to ‘reach’ them.  You can be as creative as you like in the development of the resource.  Some ideas of resources include:

  • oral presentation with a casual format
  • polished video education resource
  • interactive workshop
  • referenced academic paper
  • poster
  • online space

Make the time to speak to your lecturer in or before Week 8 and she will assist you to decide on a target audience, determine their education needs and plan the design of the resource.

You will submit your resource on or before the due date.  For video submissions discuss with lecturer who will provide direction on how to submit.

 

 

The Task – Part 2.

In a separate document you will provide information on the workplace you are in, the demographic of consumers and workers and explain who your target audience is (consumers, family/friends, workers, management any combination of the former).  You will outline the Recovery Education needs of your target audience and justify how you have met these needs within your education resource.

You will also need to include some discussion of the role of mental health nurses in advocating for Recovery uptake.  This can be fairly succinct but should include at least 2 paragraphs and a minimum of 3-4 peer-reviewed references.

Checklist Part 2:

  • Explain why you took the approach you did – i.e.: casual conversation oral presentation, polished video education resource, interactive workshop, referenced academic paper etc. and how it is relevant to your target group.
  • Indicate where you drew inspiration from – be clear about how your Recovery mini-journey in assessment 2, your own life and work experiences, literature you have read and other course provided materials assisted you to develop your Recovery education resource.
  • Discuss the role of mental health nurses in advocating for better uptake of Recovery principles – use relevant literature, other credible evidence and course provided resources to justify your position.

 

Submission will involve two uploads:

  • Part 2 must be in a word document.
  • It doesn’t matter if your Recovery Education resource is a PDF, PPT or video file and can’t be read by Turn-it-in, only the essay component of the assessment needs to be assessed by Turn-it-in.
  • You can upload more than one document. After you’ve uploaded the Recovery Education Resource, upload your written essay.
  • Do Not finalise your submission until after both documents are uploaded. You will not be able to upload the second document if you have already finalised your submission.
  • Include a cover page within the essay providing; your name and student number, your lecturer’s name, the name and code of the course and the number and name of the assignment (cover page template in Assessment Tips and Examples).
  • You must use APA referencing.

 

Please note:

Refer to the following marking criteria for more detail on grading.

You can use course provided materials and other credible sources (journal articles, books) to reference your argument. The quality and credibility of your sources is very important at a post-graduate level. Before submission it is a good idea to attempt to ‘mark yourself’ according to the criteria.  This ensures you are focusing on the same things your marker will focus on.

Indigenous mental health

Indigeneous mental health needs to be approached with an understanding and respect for cultural difference. When learning about Indigenous culture and difference, it’s important to refer to Indigenous resources, in much the same way as we learn Recovery from consumer perspectives.

It is important also to recognise that for Aboriginal people mental health is holistic, bound up in the social, emotional, spiritual and cultural life of people and communities. (Purdie, Dudgeon & Walker, 2010)

The process of assessment and diagnosis can be even more damaging for Indigenous people than mainstream consumers, due to historical inequities and cultural misunderstanding.

LEARNING TASK 9.1

  1. Watch the interview below with Dr Tracy Westerman
  2. Consider why Dr Westerman cautions the use of ‘mainstream’ or non-Indigenous mental health assessment tools and language with Indigenous clients.
  3. Evaluate why ‘dual language’ is so important.

Tracy Westerman video

 

Need to prioritise Indigenous Mental Health

Recently, the National Mental Health Commission called for the Indigenous mental health to be prioritised, emphasing the need to address issues of disadvantage as an integral component of moving forward.

“Everything is all interrelated. So if we look at health that is related to mental health, and employment, social inclusion. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people still suffer racism in this country. We also have a history of colonisation that we have to deal with and reclaim our cultures. So that all compounds on the mental health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.”  (Carisbrooke, 2012) 

Much like the need for lived experience or consumer workers across the mental health sector, there was also a strong call for the employment of more Indigenous mental health workers to bridge the cultural gap.

 

LEARNING TASK 9.2

  1. Read this Indigenous led article on how the Recovery approach relates to Indigenous Australians, Nagel (2012)
  2. Consider how the trauma of a community of people might create barriers for traditional service models when the models have relied on coercion in their service provision.
  3. Evaluate the degree to which the Recovery approach is culturally compatible with the needs of Indigenous Australians.
  4. Critically consider how the Recovery approach is appropriate for work in Indigenous communities and likely to result in better outcomes for Indigenous consumers.
  5. On the discussion forumconsider how an Indigenous informed approach to Recovery could be useful more broadly, with people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and within the general population.

 

Please note: to access the following resource, you may need to scroll down the page until you find the orange ‘download as PDF’ button and then download this book chapter or log in using a gmail account if the text doesn’t appear in the window.

LEARNING TASK 9.3

  1. Take time to read pages 216-222 of the book chapter by Parker (2011)and answer the following;
  2. Compare and contrast Parker’s arguments with those of Nagel (2012).
  3. On the discussion forumprovide a summary of your comparison.

Remember to have a look at Recommended and Additional Resources to see if there are resources that can assist in the design and write-up of assessment item 3.  If you haven’t had a phone call with your lecturer, email and make a time as soon as possible.

Week 10

Promoting a Therapeutic Environment 

Environments and experience

From the moment we are born, until the moment we die, our environment plays an important part in how we receive and react to the world around us. Our environment shapes our understanding and experience of life, it can be rich and stimulating or it can be bleak and leave us wanting. Our environment is more than the physical world around us, although this is important; it encompasses elements that feed the senses (sounds, tastes, smells) and the social milieu – including the attitudes and actions of those who move within it.

In the same way, environment impacts on the consumer’s experience of illness and of recovery. Environment in this context includes; the physical environment (the place of treatment, care or service), the sensual environment, the milieu and the attitudes and behaviours of the health professionals involved.

This module will address issues associated with the development and maintenance of a therapeutic, Recovery-orientated environment.

 

Physical Environment

The physical environment is a critical component of the early stages of Recovery.  As Hazler and Barwick (2001) point out, therapeutic techniques can not work in isolation but require an environment that facilitates healing in order to be effective. Further, the impact of environment can create positive or negative outcomes and as Watkins (2010) explains, “No environment is neutral”.

LEARNING TASK 10.1

  1. Have a look at this web page providing multiple resources and articles relating to Therapeutic Environments
  2. Consider the places you have worked (previously and currently).  Within those physical spaces, what factors contributed positively to or impacted negatively on the therapeutic environment?
  3. With a deeper understanding of the idea that “no environment is neutral” what new ideas or artifacts might you introduce to your workplace to ensure the therapeutic environment supports positive Recovery outcomes?  Feel free to share your ideas on the learning forum if you choose to.

Milieu

The next important aspect of environment to consider is the milieu – that is, the atmosphere and social surroundings of a ward, room or environment. “The healing potential of the social environment has long been recognized by service users who commonly find value in meeting and talking with other people in distress” (Barker, 2009, p. 405), this is one of the reasons why peer support programs are so beneficial for consumers (Repper, 2013; Repper & Carter, 2011).

Altschul 1972 (cited in Barker 2009) identified that people are more likely to help each other where the milieu, the supportive conditions, exists for them to do so. The social conditions conducive to learning from one another and undertaking the purposeful work of recovery make up the supportive or therapeutic milieu.

If the conditions are right within a mental health environment, the consumer will be enabled to:

  • Develop a positive therapeutic relationship with a key or primary nurse
  • Undertake individual work (through self reflection, discussion and analysis) to understand their experience
  • Share their experiences and insights with others in similar situations – informally (one on one, in friendship or conversation) and more formally (via their contribution to a group program or peer support program)
  • Contribute towards the recovery of others through a shared lived experience (Barker 2009)

LEARNING TASK 10.2

  1. Read this journal article on Radical Ordinariness
  2. In your opinion and based on your reading so far, why do you think the physical space and social conditions at Foxley Lane Women’s Service were so successful?
  3. On the learning forumexplain how the principles of therapeutic environment and milieu were realised in this example and consider what is transferable to mainstream mental health facilities.

Purpose

Two of the most important aspects of milieu are therapeutic structure and purpose. On an acute inpatient unit for example, the ward based activity program should support the development and nurturance of therapeutic relationships, via established times for group and individual work. In a community mental health setting, the structure or purpose may be provided by a group program, or a coordinated individualised program involving both social and therapeutic activities. Regardless of setting, the milieu needs to be flexible and responsive to the individual needs and wants of the consumer.

 

Remember to go to Recommended and Additional Readings and see if there’s anything else of interest to you at this point.  Remember to check in with these optional resources each week to supplement your learning and assist with your assessment items. 

Week 11

Revise, review and consider additional resources

You should be focused on your major assessment piece.  This is a good week to go back to the Recommended and Additional Resources to see if there are resources here that are useful in the design or write-up of your assessment item.  Also take time to revisit earlier modules you may have skipped some sections of.

Discuss the NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART in Washington DC

Visit a : NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART in Washington DC
Write a two to three (2-3) page report (500-750 words) that describes your experience.

Clearly identify the event location, date attended, the attendees, and your initial reaction upon arriving at the event.

Provide specific information and a description of at least two (2) pieces.
Provide a summary of the event and describe your overall reaction after attending the event.
Use at least the class text as a reference (additional sources are fine, not necessary unless required by your content). Your report should include connections you make between things observed in your activity and things learned in the course and text.

Note: Submit your cultural activity choice to the instructor for approval before the end of Week 5 (earlier is even better). Look for guidance from the instructor for how or where to make your proposal. You may also seek advice from your instructor (provide your town / state or zip code) for a good activity in your general area. Visiting a Museum

It makes sense to approach a museum the way a seasoned traveler approaches visiting a city for the first time. Find out what is available to see. In the museum, find out what sort of exhibitions are currently housed in the museum and start with the exhibits that interest you.
If there is a travelling exhibition, it’s always a good idea to see it while you have the chance. Then, if you have time, you can look at other things in the museum.
Every effort should be made ahead of time to identify a museum that has items and works one can easily connect to our HUM 112 class and book. Since HUM 112 covers from 1600 AD to the present, it makes more sense to focus on items from this time frame. In general, museums with fine arts work better than history museums.
Any questions about whether a museum-visit activity fits the course and assignment well enough will be decided by the instructor when the student seeks approval for the activity. Any alternative activity outside the normal ones listed here, such as for those limited by disability or distance, will be determined by the instructor. Normally, we do not expect students to travel over an hour to get to an approved activity.
Make notes as you go through the museum and accept any handouts or pamphlets that the museum staff gives you. While you should not quote anything from the printed material when you do your report, the handouts may help to refresh your memory later.
The quality of your experience is not measured by the amount of time you spend in the galleries or the number of works of art that you actually see. The most rewarding experiences can come from finding two or three (2 or 3) pieces of art or exhibits which intrigue you and then considering those works in leisurely contemplation. Most museums have benches where you can sit and study a particular piece.
If you are having a difficult time deciding which pieces to write about, ask yourself these questions: (1) If the museum you are visiting suddenly caught fire, which two (2) pieces of art or exhibits would you most want to see saved from the fire? (2) Why would you choose those two (2) particular pieces? Visit a : NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART in Washington DC

What are Extra’s rights and remedies against Mundo?

Note: This is a two-part assignment that consists of two different contract analysis scenarios. Please answer both scenarios on one document, and upload it to Blackboard.

Contract analysis scenario one—damages determination: Alfred and Barbara own adjoining farms in Dry County, an area where all agriculture requires irrigation. Alfred bought a well-drilling rig and drilled a 400-foot well from which he drew drinking water. Barbara needed no additional irrigation water, but in January 1985, she asked Alfred on what terms he would drill a well near her house to supply better-tasting drinking water than the county water she has been using for years. Alfred said that because he had never before drilled a well for hire, he would charge Barbara only $10 per foot, about one dollar more than his expected cost. Alfred said that he would drill to a maximum depth of 600 feet, which is the deepest his rig could reach. Barbara said, “OK—as long as you can guarantee completion by June 1, we have a deal.” Alfred agreed, and he asked for $3,500 in advance, with any further payment or refund to be made on completion. Barbara said, “OK,” and she paid Alfred $3,500.

Alfred started to drill on May 1. He had reached a depth of 200 feet on May 10 when his drill struck rock and broke, plugging the hole. The accident was unavoidable. It had cost Alfred $12 per foot to drill this 200 feet. Alfred said he would not charge Barbara for drilling the useless hole in the ground, but he would have to start a new well close by and could not promise its completion before July 1.

Barbara, annoyed by Alfred’s failure, refused to let him start another well. On June 1, she contracted with Carl to drill a well. Carl agreed to drill to a maximum depth of 350 feet for $4,500, which Barbara also paid in advance, but Carl could not start drilling until October 1. He completed drilling and struck water at 300 feet on October 30.

BBA 3210, Business Law 5
In July, Barbara sued Alfred, seeking to recover her $3,500 paid to Alfred, plus the $4,500 paid to Carl.

On August 1, Dry County’s dam failed, thus reducing the amount of water available for irrigation. Barbara lost her apple crop worth $15,000. The loss could have been avoided by pumping from Barbara’s well if it had been operational by August 1. Barbara amended her complaint to add the $15,000 loss.

In a minimum of a 1,000-word contract analysis, discuss Barbara’s suit against Alfred. What are Barbara’s rights, and what damages, if any, will she recover?

Cite any direct quotes or paraphrased material from outside sources. Use APA format.

Contract analysis scenario two—remedies determination: Mundo manufactures printing presses. Extra, a publisher of a local newspaper, had decided to purchase new presses. Rep, a representative of Mundo, met with Boss, the president of Extra, to describe the advantages of Mundo’s new press. Rep also drew rough plans of the alterations that would be required in Extra’s pressroom to accommodate the new presses, including additional floor space and new electrical installations, and Rep left the plans with Boss.

On December 1, Boss received a letter signed by Seller, a member of Mundo’s sales staff, offering to sell the required number of presses at a cost of $2.4 million. The offer contained provisions relating to the delivery schedule, warranties, and payment terms but did not specify a particular mode of acceptance of the offer. Boss immediately decided to accept the offer and telephoned Seller’s office. Seller was out of town, and Boss left the following message: “Looks good. I’m sold. Call me when you get back so we can discuss details.”

Using the rough plans drawn by Rep, Boss also directed that work begin on the necessary pressroom renovations. By December 4, a wall had been demolished in the pressroom, and a contract had been signed for the new electrical installations.

As a professional, it is vital that you evaluate your own attitudes and strive to be fair, equitable, and proactive in your interactions with children and families. Review the “Student Characteristics and Teacher Interaction” section (pages 245-266) of your text. Then consider the following questions: •What are some of the complex issues related to gender? •What are some of the complex issues related to culture and diversity? •Do all children have an equal opportunity to succeed in school? Choose two characteristics covered in the section you reviewed that concern you the most in terms of the potential for inequitable treatment of young children. By Day 3 Post your thoughts with regard to the following: •Identify the two characteristics you chose, and explain why each is of special concern to you. •Explain how you as a professional can advocate for young children and families in each area. Be sure to also explain how you will ensure that your own behavior with regard to each characteristic is fair and equitable to children you work with and their families.
