Scenario Part 1

On March 12, 2014, at approximately 2200 hours, the Sunnyville, Utah Police Department received a 911 call of an armed robbery at 201 SE 2nd Ave. Upon the police arriving on scene, Victim 1, Luke Roberts, had been shot in the head and deceased. Victim 2, Liam O’Neil, was pistol-whipped. Both victims were robbed of their cell phones and wallets at gunpoint. Liam O’Neil was able to identify both suspects and the getaway vehicle. A short distance away, police stopped the suspect vehicle with two Caucasian males that matched the description provided by Mr. O’Neil. After the two suspects were positively identified, they were arrested and brought to the police station for interviews.

Before the police interviewed the suspects, they read them their Miranda rights. Suspect 1 refused to speak to the police, invoked his Miranda rights, and stated that he wanted a lawyer. The police began asking Suspect 2 specific questions about the crime. Suspect 2 stated “I’m not sure I should talk to you,” but then hesitantly proceeded to answers questions, making several incriminating statements.

Scenario Part 2

The police conducted a second interview. As Suspect 2, Keith Hopkins, waited for the detective to speak to him again, he appeared to be deleting messages from his phone. As the second interview began, Hopkins admitted to hiding the stolen property from both victims inside his residence located at 1106 SE 9th Ave. He stated that the victim’s property was hidden in a laundry basket in his bedroom. He also stated that Suspect 1, Steve Chapman, hid the gun used in the robbery in the attic of his house under the insulation. You suspected that there may also be additional evidence in the house, but Keith Hopkins will no longer provide you with any information. The police asked Mr. Hopkins for consent to search his residence, but he immediately remembered an episode of his favorite police show and refused to give you permission to search his house for the evidence.

Scenario Part 3

After completing a thorough investigation into the robbery and serving your search warrant, both of your suspects were found guilty at trial. The next step of the Criminal Justice System (the sentencing phase) will begin. Because victim Roberts was shot in the head and killed, the State is seeking the death penalty for Steve Chapman. He has an extensive violent criminal history (convicted felon), and shows no remorse for victim Roberts or his family.

As the lead detective, you have completed your investigation into the robbery and homicide. You have served the search warrant and found all of the evidence that you were looking for. You and your team have collected all of the evidence and interviewed witnesses, the victim, and the suspects.

Because of your hard work in this case, the State’s Attorney has asked for your thoughts on the method of punishment for Steve Chapman. Compose a professional quality email to the State’s Attorney detailing your thoughts on the following:

  • Is the death penalty a just sentence for this crime? Explain your answer.
  • What alternative punishments might be appropriate (if any)?
  • Does the death penalty deter others from committing similar crimes?

Transformational and Adaptive Leadership

After reviewing the textbook chapters on transformational and adaptive leadership, in your initial post, describe some integrative or parallel practices that a leader might use to apply both transformational leadership practices and adaptive leadership practices. How might a transformational leader engage people in a program or organization through difficult or adaptive times? How might qualities of a transformational leader hinder his or her ability to engage staff members in adaptive leadership practices?

2.

Authentic and Servant Leadership

Revisit Figure 9.1 on page 200 of your textbook. In your initial post, refer to this diagram as you explain the key characteristics of authentic leadership. How do the characteristics on the inner circle shape the qualities on the outer circle? Now, look at the ten characteristics of a servant leader identified in Chapter 10 of your textbook. What are the similarities or differences between the characteristics of a servant leader and those of an authentic leader? Describe how a leader in a human services organization might use practices from each of these leadership styles to engage community members in supportive action.

Once you are done reading the chapter 1 write a two page minimum essay that explores the difference in notions of Freedom between Europeans and Native Americans on the dawn of contact. Quote the author’s (Foner) words at least twice from Chapter 1 as you write this. Respond in “Assignments” tab. Make sure you also use the following keywords in your essay: Tenochtitlan, Aztecs, Columbus, Spanish Empire, colonial Dutch freedom, Black Legend, Pueblo Revolt.

As you read the chapter think how these different notions of freedom guided their actions. Obviously there was more than one way to understand freedom and in this misunderstanding of what it means to be a free human being is where we start to understand the birth of our nation. One mans freedom can be another’s misery. Your essay should give the details of this cultural conflict.

Make sure you understand what it means to properly quote the author in MLA format. Example: (Foner 10). You do not need a Works Cited page for the weekly essays. This is practice for the Midterm which will ultimately be a longer essay with all the other components such as documentation and Works Cited page. Don’t worry if this isn’t familiar to you now, it will be by the Midterm.

Review the “Who Benefits From Gender Responsive Treatment?” article in this week’s University Library Readings.

Answer the following questions in a paper of at least 700 words:

  • How could a correlation of past trauma contribute to a woman’s tendency to become an offender?
  • Why do women who have a prior history of abuse have a higher probability to become substance abusers?
  • How could poverty have an effect on women who use drugs or become offenders?
  • What are some factors to consider while reentry planning for women, as well as other diverse populations, who have been victims of prior abuse?

Resources

I have attached the actual essay that needs to be edited ,I have attached what’s edits needs to be done on the original essay.

There are some issues regarding the way it is presented the thesis, introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion.

The goal of the thesis and introduction is to grab the reader’s attention, and to provide three personal reasons that the topic is important to you. I don’t really see that here yet. Work on making your introduction clear and concise, and providing a clear preview of what the rest of the paper will be about. Dig into these and work to ensure that each element is as clear as possible.

Writing three fully developed supporting paragraphs for each of the points in your thesis statement is really important here. I’d like to see you work more on providing good, relevant examples supporting each point. You also want to make sure that your supporting paragraphs are in the same order as the topics in your thesis statement.

Essay has some errors in grammar, mechanics, and punctuation. You’ve gotten some of the formatting elements right, but take another look at the requirements and make sure that you hit all of them. These little details make a big difference to the reader

Please do not write a whole new essay ,just make changes to the one that I have provided to you.

Communication for Engineers Document Series Assignment

  • Create three documents for one scenario only
  • Please combine all three documents into one file (PDF or Word DOC)
  • Learning Objectives
    • Practice writing various forms of business correspondence and documents (i.e., email, letters, memos)
    • Address purpose and audience in business correspondence
    • Practice selecting the appropriate correspondence genre (i.e., email, letters, memos) for a specific rhetorical situation
    • Develop a professional writing style, paying particular attention to concision (i.e., avoiding wordiness), paragraph construction, and tone

    AssignmentChoose one of the following scenarios, and produce the requested documents for one scenario only. Each scenario asks you to prepare a range of three documents. You are responsible for determining the appropriate genre (email, memo, business letter, etc.) as well as the content of each document.
    Scenario 1
    You are the technical manager of a large Internet design firm (100+ employees). One of your primary responsibilities is to manage a team of developers. Your unit’s primary goal is to build and deliver custom web applications and to update client websites. Due to the increase of information delivery via company intranets, your company has grown considerably. About 8 months ago you hired a small start-up company, MaintainU, to perform routine maintenance for clients’ websites because you needed to focus more attention on the custom applications. MaintainU does not interact with your clients and they work as sub-contractors through your company. Your clients are not aware of this move and for now, you and Nathan Elder, your company president, want to keep it this way. The last several months you have had problems with MaintainU not paying attention to version dates. They have, on several occasions, made changes requested by clients, but they also uploaded old pages to the site. Having dealt with a number of complaints, the most recent two weeks ago, you had a long conversation with Jason Hughes, the president of MaintainU, that mistakes are not acceptable. Now, this morning, you receive an angry call from a client, Sheila Links at Gateway Industries, because an executive that was fired two months ago has been added back to the executive page. Gateway Industries was one of the first clients your firm ever signed. While the client is on the phone, the mistake is corrected, and you end up setting up a meeting for lunch next week. For the first 6 months or so, the relationship with MaintainU was great. At this point, you’re uncertain if you want to continue the relationship, but at the same time, you cannot afford to bring maintenance work back in-house. Apparently, the phone call to Jason wasn’t enough. Deliverables Based on the scenario above, your deliverables will be the following documents:

    • A document to the client, Gateway Industries.
    • A document to MaintainU.
    • A document to your company president, who is a micro-manager and likes to know everything that is going on.

    Scenario 2You are the project manager of a civil engineering company. Your current project is a large-scale (100 miles) construction project that is restoring a portion of the wetlands in coastal Louisiana and southeast Texas. Currently, you are building a series of temporary access roads so that you can get equipment to one of the low-lying areas. This project involves a literal convoy of heavy trucks. Your firm has received numerous complaints from local residents about the noise and dust. In particular, you’ve received three letters from the same woman, Winnifred Doucette Lejeune. The last letter contained 10 additional signatures. If residents’ complaints continue to escalate, they could slow down the project and put you behind schedule. You make a trip from the office headquarters in Lafayette, LA to the Calcasieu/Sabine Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Area to see what’s going on. On site, you see everything seems to progressing fine. Workers are on the job by 7:00am and running until almost sundown, but in the local bar and grill, all the talk is about “the darn government project to nowhere.” When you get back to the office, you decide you need to take action. DeliverablesBased on the scenario above, your deliverables will be the following:

    • A document to Winnifred Doucette Lejeune, who, after further investigation, is a local resident that seems to spearhead any effort the town needs.
    • A document to the company vice president, Richard Smith, who asked to be told of any problem, or, in his words, “anything that even remotely smells like a problem” with the project.
    • A document to the sub-contractor supervisor at the construction site. Your firm has used this sub-contractor for almost five years, but this is the first project you’ve worked on with this particular supervisor.


    Scenario 3
    You’re the compliance coordinator for a biomedical company, Hadley Services, which provides field service technicians to local hospitals and medical offices. Hadley’s specialty is radiological equipment, particularly open MRIs. Your primary job is to coordinate the schedules for repair, calibration and preventive maintenance for all of your clients. You are also responsible for writing the reports that keep the company in compliance with local and federal guidelines. Since many medical facilities are starting to replace their outdated MRI machines with the new open MRIs, Hadley has grown considerably in the last 2 years. Hadley has a long standing relationship with the folks at Hitachi Medical, who manufacture the AIRIS Elite, the most commonly used machine in your market. In the early afternoon, you get an email from one of Hadley’s newest clients, St. Francis Clinic, which is a brand new clinic of the Alliance Medical Group. When St. Francis opened two months ago, they signed on with Hadley. The St. Francis account meant a lot to Hadley since they had been wooing the Alliance Medical Group for years. The email is from St. Francis’s clinic administrator, Pat Williams. The technician, Allen Franks, just left after completing a safety check, and now the machine is no longer recording data. You immediately dispatch another, more experienced technician (Marcus Ramirez) to address the problem, and call Ms. Williams. While you’re on the phone with her, Marcus texts you to tell you that problem is solved. You relay the information to Ms. Williams and hang up. After chatting with both technicians, the problem was a simple. Allen Franks had failed to connect the data port snuggly, which is a rookie technician mistake. Now that everything has settled down, you know you have some additional work to do. Deliverables Based on the scenario above, your deliverables will be the following:

    • A document to Pat Williams, the client.
    • A document to Hadley’s client rep, Ronni Simms, who is responsible for the St. Francis account, letting her know of the developments with her clinic.
    • A document to Allen Franks.


    Scenario 4
    As the quality control supervisor at Aero Coast, you make sure that the structural repairs on wide body passenger and freight aircraft are completed in compliance with all federal regulations. Aero Coast specializes in re-fitting aircraft and they have developed quite a reputation for innovative structural designs. In addition, Aero Coast is known for their attention to detail and finishing projects on time. You and the team have just completed a structural re-design to the interior of a plane that will be used to ship mini-widgets overseas. The re-design focused on customized racking systems to hold the sensitive mini-widgets in place on the long flight. About four hours after the plane has left, you get a text from the pilot. The plane has been grounded in the northeast because of “improper aircraft configuration.” The lens covers on the emergency lighting system are not FAA specified. After a few calls, you find a line mechanic that can make the necessary repairs, but he can’t get there for about 24 hours. You call the client and deliver the bad news–the flight will be delayed by a day. The client, Global Widget Freight, has been with Aero Coast for about three years, and you have a solid business relationship. They account for about 17% of your annual revenue, but they’ve just been bought out. You have some work to do to keep people happy and to make sure this type of problem does not happen again. Deliverables Based on the scenario above, your deliverables will be the following documents:

    • A document to Carter Buchanan, Vice President at Global Widget Freight.
    • A document to Bob Gunney, Aero Coast’s inspector, who signed off on the completed job.
    • A document to Ned Masters, Vice President of Aero Coast.

Many people in the US, particularly the elderly, take more than one prescribed medication. CDC (2014) reported that between 2009 and 2012 nearly 48% of persons asked used at least one prescription drug, 22% used three or more prescription drugs, and nearly 11% used five or more.

In a recent study published by the Mayo Clinic, seven out of 10 Americans take at least one prescription drug. The most commonly prescribed drug is antibiotics — taken by 17 percent of Americans — followed by antidepressants and opioids — each taken by 13 percent of Americans. In addition, findings showed that:

  • Even more staggering than the CDC findings, currently more than half of Americans take two prescription medications, and 20 percent of Americans are on at least five prescription medications.
  • More women than men receive prescription medications.
  • Antidepressant prescriptions are more common among women than men, and are most common among women ages 50 to 64.

When people take multiple medications, there is a greater risk for confusion about which medications are taken, when they are taken, and what they are being taken for. There is also a higher risk for drug interactions and increased side effects and adverse reactions.

Sometimes because of the sheer number of medications being prescribed, they may be forgotten, become too much of a bother, or a financial burden which can significantly impact client compliance and lead to poor health outcomes.

In this written assignment, you will be conducting an interview of a client who is taking multiple prescribed medications (three or more) and submitting a written paper describing the findings from the interview. You will then develop a Client Teaching Plan. Your instructor will assist you in the selection of the client. You must achieve a “pass” in this assignment to satisfactorily fulfill the requirements for the Pharmacology course.

The three parts of this assignment are:

Conduct an interview of a client who is taking multiple medications (polypharmacy). You must prepare the client before the interview by explaining why you are conducting the interview. You can say “my assignment is to find out about the medications you are taking so I can determine if you need more information about what you are taking”. You must always get permission from the client to conduct the interview and you must tell the client how the information will be used. You can say, “I will not be using your name in the information I share and I will be submitting it to my instructor only for this student assignment”. If there is important information that needs to be communicated to you, your doctor, family, or nurse, my instructor will assist me in following up on this”. Tell the client you will take no more than 30-45 minutes for the interview.

There may be a family member or significant other present during the interview. That is fine. Be sure to identify who answered a question and if possible always have the client answer first. Always thank the client (and others) when you complete the interview.

Do not use recording equipment for this interview. Have a notepad and pencil or pen and explain that you will be taking notes. When the interview is over, go to a quiet place and take some time to fill in any information you did not jot down. If you wait, you will not remember.

When setting the environment for the interview, make sure the client (and others) is comfortable and you are comfortably seated facing the client. If possible, do the interview in a quiet place.

Ask questions slowly giving the client time to answer. Pay attention to the client’s hearing and ability to respond to the questions. Be sure your non-verbal communication demonstrates you are calm and relaxed.

Use the following interview question guidelines when conducting the interview. Be aware that the client may not be able to answer each of the questions with detailed information. Collect as much information as the client is able and willing to give you. Remember you are the interviewer so you will be collecting information and not making any comments about the information shared by the client except to ask for further clarification if you are not sure what was said or need more detail if it is available.

  1. What medications are you taking?
    (Before the interview research each of the medications. In your paper include the reason for each medication, the drug classification, the route of administration, the dose, and possible side effects/adverse reactions).

    For the following questions, paraphrase the client’s answers for your written paper.

  2. How long have you taken each these medications?
  3. Do you know why you are taking these medications?
  4. Who told you about the medications and why you need to take them? Were you able to ask any questions about the medications and if so were they answered so you understood what was said?
  5. How do you feel about taking these medications?
  6. Are you taking other medication purchased “over the counter” such as in a drug store? If so, what is it and why are you taking it.
  7. How and when do you take your medications?
  8. Do you have any difficulty taking the medications? If so, what happens and how do you deal with any difficulties.
  9. Have you ever felt any uncomfortable feelings and/or body reactions to taking these medications? If so, what were they and how were they handled?
  10. If you had the above reaction, did they take you off the medication and/or replace it with another medication? Were you told why this happened?
  11. Do you have any reason not to take the medications?
  12. Have you ever not taken the medication? If so, what was the reason?

Ask a final question about whether the client would like to tell you anything further about their medications.

Write a paper describing your research and findings about the medications being taken and the results of the interview. Report your findings in a 3-5 page written paper. In your paper include the reason for each medication, the drug classification, the route of administration, the dose, and possible side effects/adverse reactions.

Use accurate and appropriate spelling and grammar and APA Editorial Format for sources used in your written paper.

Develop a teaching plan for this client based on your findings. Based on the findings from the interview, develop a 2-3 page teaching plan to include the following:

  1. List one goal for this teaching plan
  2. Describe two to three teaching resources that might be used
  3. Identify two teaching strategies that can be used based on the client interviewed
  4. List specific client instructions regarding the medications and what adverse reactions they should be aware of/and what to do
  5. Identify at least one factor that may negatively influence adherence to the medications and how it can be overcome
  6. If, appropriate, describe how the family might be involved in ensuring the client is on a proper and safe medication regime
