Laypeople (and some mental health professionals) often make two assumptions about alcohol use and anxiety. 

Chapter 4 Online Assignment:

Laypeople (and some mental health professionals) often make two assumptions about alcohol use and anxiety.

  1. First, they assume that the two are positively correlated (as anxiety increases, so does consumption).
  2. Second, they assume that anxiety causes alcohol consumption.

Because these assumptions are often based on armchair speculation, there is no way to determine whether they are correct. Researchers use various methods of research. Your assignment is to propose a research study that might shed light on the accuracy of the 2 assumptions above.

First, you should brainstorm and read the specific features of the methods of research (Chapter 4)

Next, you need to choose what you think is the best way to study the problem given the constraints of the research method. Money and logistics are of no concern.

Finally, you need to write a 2-3-page paper describing your study.

To accept responsibility for your own feelings, your own triggers, and your own experience does not mean to stop communicating with others about how their words and actions affect you. You can own your emotions by not blaming others

Description

 

 

Read the following quote:

“To accept responsibility for your own feelings, your own triggers, and your own experience does not mean to stop communicating with others about how their words and actions affect you. You can own your emotions by not blaming others, and still give the people in your life gentle, loving feedback about how they can treat you in a way that helps your healing and happiness. Creating safe spaces is an interdependent process. It’s not ever all about you and it’s not ever all about the other person. It’s about you coming together and working on the dynamics of your relationship together, taking responsibility for your own part and doing what you can to contribute to the well-being of the other.”

Description

 

 

Chapter 10: Cultural Competence: Awareness, Sensitivity, and Respect. PowerPoint attached.

Think for a while about cultural practices and how they affect health or illness in your own family. They may be difficult to identify as such at first, but they do exist. What ideas about illness prevention does your family adhere to? What do you do when someone gets sick? What rituals does your family practice when someone dies?

A 67 y.o. white male, R.O., enters your community pharmacy and states he has been in contact with a distant relative who tested positive for Covid 19.

Formulate a BRIEF Drug Information Response for the following inquiry: (1/2 page, answer the 2 questions below and cite source)

A 67 y.o. white male, R.O., enters your community pharmacy and states he has been in contact with a distant relative who tested positive for Covid 19. He is new to your pharmacy and states he is NOT taking any prescription medications or supplements.

His interaction with his infected relative was brief (a socially distanced outdoor event). The event took place about 3 days ago. He is NOT currently demonstrating any signs or symptoms of Covid 19.

R.O. informs you he is here to pick up a medication. You see there is prescription written by Dr. Jones, MD for a Medrol Dosepak to be taken immediately to prevent Covid 19 infection.

What to turn in:
