Using the knowledge you gained from the readings, evaluate how a typical drug, when orally administered, may be handled differently by these two patients: Ms. Jones is a 30-year-old female personal trainer that is 5’ 4” tall weighing 110lbs. She regularly drinks socially and sometimes more than a bit when she meets with her bi-weekly book club. Mr. Smith is a 65-year-old software tester who is 6’ tall and weighs 235lbs. He drinks only occasionally.

Assume no other significant medical history or issues with either patient. In your analysis, compare how the two patients will metabolize the drug considering weight, gender, distribution of body water and body fat, age, metabolic state, and alcohol use. Explain how these factors impact the pharmacokinetics of the drug (half-life, dosage, route of administration, and elimination of the drug). Evaluate the impact on the risk-benefits analysis of the use of this drug.

Read “Topic 5: Vargas Family Case Study.” Write a 750-1,000-word paper in which you demonstrate how therapists apply Strategic Family Therapy theories to analyze the presenting problems and choose appropriate interventions.

Be sure to answer the following questions in your paper:  How would Jay Haley or Chloe Madanes approach the current presenting problem? Identify and describe two interventions that he/she may use and why. How would an MRI-style therapist approach the current presenting problem? Identify and describe two interventions that would be used and why. How would a Milan-style therapist approach the current presenting problem? Identify and describe two interventions that would be used and why.

Cite at least three academic sources (peer-reviewed journal articles, books, etc.).

Vargas Case Study

The Vargas family arrives to their 5th session together and on time. As a follow-up to the last session’s focus on the family structure, you decide to consider a strategic approach this week. To check in, you invite them to share any feedback from last week’s session. Bob reports that he apologized to Elizabeth for “mishandling the suspension thing” then complains that Elizabeth is still “holding a grudge.” He admits that he often does not understand why she gets so upset and that he wants her to be happy. Elizabeth acknowledges that the apology “is a start” and suggests that the reason Bob doesn’t understand is that he “doesn’t ever listen” to her. Bob tells Elizabeth that he listens, but gets frustrated because he doesn’t know how to “fix it.”

You notice Frank and Heidi sitting together, quietly looking at a book while their parents talk. You inquire about any noticeable changes made during the week. Both parents claim to have made an effort to avoid raising his/her voice and report being pleased with their conduct. When asked about the children, Elizabeth reports noticing improvement. Bob, however, expresses frustration with Frank’s constant need of redirection and numerous reminders to complete his chores. Bob also noted an increase in Heidi’s demands for attention.

In the Journal of Language Teaching and Research, Daneshfar and Moharami (2018) explain that Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory is a significant contribution in the field of language teaching, and consequently, in language learning assessment. Their study presents a review of a new form of assessment derived from Vygotsky’s theory, known as dynamic assessment (DA).  Children interact in their environment that provides them with all the social, cultural and interpersonal experiences which represent a key element of their development. As children are still developing, they interact with different experiences according to their level of cognition development, which encourages them to exceed their current level and develop further skills (Daneshfar & Moharami, 2018). 

The most highlighted notion of the mentioned theory is the concept of the zone of proximal development, which has been supported by research and put into use for the last three decades. According to sociocultural theory, children’s development is not linear as it develops on different levels which correspond with the child’s stage of cognitive development. Furthermore, children can achieve the tasks that are appropriately challenging to their level but can reach a higher level of development by the help of a more skilled peer a teacher or. The zone of proximal development is the distance between the two levels.

This theory applies more to western cultures where the focus of the parents is mainly on literacy and scaffolding different tasks to sharpen their children’s ability to read and write and occupy jobs in the future. However, in other cultures, parents raise their children to sharpen other skills related to their life, such as hunting or weaving (Galotti, 2017). To adapt the concept of ZPD, another term known as guided participation was suggested to refer to skills shared between experienced and less experienced individuals to allow more variation in different contexts and cultures (Berk, 2016).
