Final Case Study and Recommendations

In this assignment, you will finalize your case study makingrecommendations for needed services and planning for theirimplementation. You will create two documents for this assignment, onepaper of 8–10 pages as the final course project and a PowerPointpresentation of 8–10 slides with speakers notes. The PowerPointpresentation should be made to a hypothetical team of professionalsworking on the issues in your case study. It should summarize youranalysis of the case study including theoretical orientation andrecommended service implementation.

Paper – In Unit 5, you conducted a literature review, which mostlikely revealed many new perspectives, approaches, and solutions toproblems. This week, you will revise your submissions from Unit 3, 5and 7 to construct your final course paper. Each of those units shouldbe combined to create one document that is integrated and presents aholistic perspective of human service theories, service deliverymodels, and roles. Respond to any questions related to ethicalconflicts and dilemmas presented in Unit 3. Incorporaterecommendations for the case study and what functions each of thehuman service professionals will perform in the case study.

PowerPoint​ – Your PowerPoint presentation should include the following:•Introduction ◦Provide an overview of the case study you have chosento focus on for your final course paper.

•Areas for exploration and next steps ◦In more detail, describe 2–3big ideas you have already started to uncover because of yourliterature review. Describe the roles and responsibilities of thehuman service professionals you selected for your case study. Cite theEthical Standards for Human Services Professionals linked in theResources as you discuss ethical considerations.

•Conclusion ◦Provide a brief conclusion describing the overall planfor recommendations.

Consider the following quote by the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, who believed that thought without language was impossible.

“The limits of my language are the limits of my life.”

For more information on Wittgenstein and his analysis on the importance of language, watch the video Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) The Limits of Language.

Next, examine whether it is possible to think without using language. If you believe it is possible, describe the primary ways in which a person might enact so-called “languageless” thinking. If you believe it is not possible, describe what you foresee as major problems with languageless thinking.

Journal Reflection #1Provision 4: “The nurse is responsible and accountable for individual nursing practice and determines the appropriate delegation of tasks consistent with the nurse’s obligation to provide optimum patient care.”Imagine you are the head nurse in a senior living facility. You have 36 residents; normally there are two nurses with four nursing assistants. It is night shift, and the other nurse was in an accident on the way to work. Hence, it is you, 36 residents, and four CNAs. One of the CNAs is due to graduate from nursing school in one month. 30 of the 36 patients have 9 PM medicine due. To get medicine to the patients on time, would you allow the CNA who is close to finishing school to help administer the medicine? Would this be an appropriate delegation of tasks, considering that an RN must complete medication administration? Which is more important: delegation of tasks or timely medication administration for patients?Journal Reflection #2Provision 5: “The nurse owes the same duties to self as to others, including the responsibility to preserve integrity and safety, to maintain competence, and to continue personal and professional growth.”Imagine you are nurse who is six months pregnant (guys, stretch that imagination). You arrive to the hospital and check your patient assignment. One patient in your assignment is receiving high-dose chemotherapy medication, which, in this case, is contraindicated for pregnant women to administer. You ask the charge nurse to change the assignment, and he refuses based on the acuity of the patient. He notes that other nurses on staff tonight are too new to care for such a sick patient. Who is ethically right: the charge nurse trying to ensure a high-acuity patient has appropriate nursing care or you the nurse? Build an argument for your opinion.Journal Reflection #3Provision 6: “The nurse participates in establishing, maintaining, and improving health care environments and conditions of employment conducive to the provision of quality health care and consistent with the values of the profession through individual and collective action.” How would a nurse contribute to the values of the nursing profession on an individual basis and through collective action?Journal Reflection #4Provision 7: “The nurse participates in the advancement of the profession through contributions to practice, education, administration, and knowledge development.” Why would the advancement of the profession of nursing be included in a code of ethics? How do ethics and advancing professional practice relate to one another?Journal Reflection #5Provision 8: “The nurse collaborates with other health professionals and the public in promoting community, national and international efforts to meet health needs.” To what extent are medical personnel responsible for caring for community, national, and international health care needs? Comment on each type of need: community, national, and international. What role does an individual, a hospital system, and the larger federal government play?Journal Reflection #6Provision 9: “The profession of nursing value, for maintaining the integrity of the profession and its practice, and for shaping social policy.” In your own words, define integrity as it relates to nursing. Can personal and professional integrity be separated? In other words, can a person have little personal integrity but maintain professional integrity? Why or why not? We will discuss ethical concerns of vulnerable populations at another point in the class. However, briefly note the role of ethics in shaping social policy in health care.

As you have learned in your readings, Piaget, Erikson, Skinner, and Vygotsky took different approaches to child development. One’s theoretical perspective influences approaches to child development. The Jacksons are a young couple living in Centervale. They have approached Keith, the child development consultant, for advice on how to promote and nurture the cognitive development of their preschooler Jasmine. 

Watch the following video to learn more about the similarities and differences of developmental theories. Study of the Child: Theories of Development I, produced by Herzog, Milan & Herzog, Shanta (Learning Seed, 1997), 29:02 mins obtained from Alexander Street Press Education in Video from AUO Library.

• Compare and contrast the approaches of each of the four perspectives (Piaget, Erikson, Skinner, and Vygotsky).
• Explain how each theorist would approach the issue of cognitive development in early childhood. Describe how Keith’s advice to Jasmine’s parents might vary depending on his theoretical perspective.
• What role would society and family play in Jasmine’s cognitive development at this stage of development? What cultural, psychosocial and physical influences will be seen?
• Incorporate information learned in your readings and at least one peer-reviewed* article from the AUO library to support your conclusions.

* Peer reviewed means an article from a reputable journal, which can be found in the library. Peer reviewed indicates that other professionals in the field have reviewed and deemed it worthy of publication, in contrast to much if what we find online: someone posting something they want, without someone else verifying that their methods were rigorous enough and the study is valid.  Use your book and course lectures as your primary resources, as well as articles from our library. If you must supplement from a website, do NOT use .coms. Instead, look for .org, .gov, and sometimes .edu for more reputable sources. Never use Wikipedia or about.com.

Write a 6-7 page paper in Word format. Be sure to include introductory and concluding paragraphs in your paper, a title page and a reference page.  Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
