Managing Change: Forcing a Change, writing homework help

/in /by

Research a recent case study (less then 5 years old) about a company which experienced major organizational changes. Now consider that you are an organizational behavior consultant assigned to help the company navigate and manage the change. Write a report to your supervisor analyzing the reasons for the change and discussing the following points in your report:

  • What was the internal or external pressure that caused the change? Compare the driving force for the change to the specific types of pressures noted in your reading assignments.
  • What organizational changes resulted from the pressure for change?
  • Consider that there were probably forces within the company that resisted the change. What might have been their rationale against the change? Do you feel these are valid points? Why or why not?
  • Do you think that other organizations in the same industry would have reacted in the same way? Why or why not?

Your report should be no more than 4-5 pages and in current APA edition format.

Literature Review -Childhood Obesity cause and prevention

/in /by

You’ve chosen a key research topic in your major, and located 10 scholarly sources on it.

Now your task is to make a generalization based on your findings, determine a focus, and develop a research question based on your annotated bibliography. You should write your literature review as if it’s the first stage of a project you might develop further, since you will also be developing a Research Proposal on this topic later.

Your literature review should resemble the sample below, which shows how an NIU Research Rookie developed her literature review on the problem of the school-to-prison pipeline.

Similar to the sample below, your literature review should have the four following sections:

  • A background section describing how the problem or controversy has developed, and why researchers in your major define it as a problem or issue (supported by research citations).
  • A description of how significant/serious the problem or issue is, and whom affects most (supported by research citations).
  • A brief “objectives” section where you identify the research questions you would like to answer about this problem or controversy
  • A discussion of how researching this problem or issue would help you in your major and future profession

Don’t forget to include a bibliography page listing 6-8 sources in the appropriate disciplinary format!

Course Project Task IV/Preparing for the Literature Review

/in /by

Module 5 Assignment 1: Course Project Task IV/Preparing for the Literature Review

In Module 1 you identified a research topic of interest and some preliminary questions around that topic. Exploring databases set you on the path to look for, select, and examine existing studies for their relevance and usefulness to your topic. Then you examined them in detail and wrote a critique of one of the articles, looking for strengths and weaknesses and gaps in the research that may have been overlooked. With the annotated bibliography, you selected several relevant articles and not only did you evaluate them, but you also looked at patterns of similarities and differences between how they have presented aspects of your topic and question, continuing to consider how you might refine your research question.

In this assignment, you will attempt to complete a preliminary and preparatory document using the six selected sources thus far towards your final literature review. This is a short assignment and need not be more than one-two pages.

The first section of the paper should be an introductory paragraph that states your research question using the relational model; a clear purpose for this assignment; and a map that outlines the patterns/themes you have found so far from the sources you have reviewed.


The second section of the paper (Body) will be an outline of the literature review. To create the outline, examine your selected sources, note the common patterns or themes, and create 3-4 clear headings that reflect the main themes. Next to each theme/heading, cite the sources that indicated this theme. Under each theme, include sub-topics that reflect key points of discussion for that theme. Make sure that the sub topics you include align with their associated headings. These headings and subtopics can then be used as sub-headings and discussion points to structure and organize your literature review in Module 6. Please read the Module 5 Overview page to understand how you would search for common themes in the literature.

The final section of the paper is a brief conclusion where you would re-state the purpose and map, while broadly summarizing key patterns/themes as they currently exist, noting any gaps and/or suggestions for future research identified by the researcher where your research question could be added to the conversation

Two important concepts/terminology to emphasize here are “literature” and “themes”:

  • A single source cannot be termed as “literature”. The word, Literature refers to numerous and major scholarly writings presented on a specific topic. Depending on your discipline and field, “the literature” can include: journal articles, books, published essays, government reports, and so on. The main thing to keep in mind is that “the literature” is the body of scholarly, professional information that is used by researchers working on that topic area. When we refer to a literature review, the implication is an examination and evaluation of a collection of sources relevant to a specific area of research. A well written literature review helps you to establish the rationale for your particular research and provides the framework in selecting a particular research question
  • A concept cannnot be designated as a theme if you only come across that perspective in a single source. However, if you see the same or differing opinions/perspectives expressed across numerous articles, then you can identify that perspective as a pattern or a theme.

Review the grading criteria below for additional details on how to structure the content.

By the due date assigned, submit your assignment as a Word document to the Discussion Area. Then through the end of the module, review at least two of your classmates’ submissions and provide constructive feedback.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Please make sure you review the elements of the grading criteria and associated points carefully and make sure your assignment has addressed all the elements and in enough detail to merit full points.

Assignment 1 Grading Criteria Maximum Points

Module 5 Overview

Presented a quote by Mary Heaton Vorse, Provides the learning outcomes on which the readings and assignments for this module are based.
  • Engage in ethical scholarship and utilize appropriate citation and referencing skills associated with dissertation and scholarly writing to avoid plagiarism/matching text.
  • Examine connections between the various academic writing genres (article critiques, annotated bibliographies, article synthesis), and how they contribute to the development of the literature review and to the dissertation.
  • Understand the stages of the dissertation process.

Many Argosy University doctoral students have benefitted from interviewing people who have completed dissertations or doctoral-level research. The first activity for this module will provide you with an opportunity to do just that. Asking questions that are not always addressed in written materials and hearing real-life experiences can provide a rich learning experience. Sometimes the stories heard by students provide them with an important list of do’s and don’ts. Sometimes the stories provided by the interviewees weave intriguing tales. Often, interviewees share the growth they experienced, sometimes in unexpected ways. Always the interviewees provide assurance that there is life after the completion of a dissertation.

Module 5 also provides you the opportunity to examine connections between all the genres that you have engaged in during the prior modules and how all those different pieces fit together to develop your literature review and beyond that to your dissertation. Instead of thinking of your research topic, article critiques, annotated bibliographies, and information literacy activities as discrete experiences, think of them instead as links to a chain. Sometimes, it is easy to lose sight of the forest (in this case, the research topic) when surrounded by many trees (what may seem like tons of paper from the different assignments and journal articles you have collected). As you reflect on this module, try to analyze what connections you specifically see between your research topic, prior assignments, and your prospective review of the literature.

One engaging part of the journal article reading and critiquing you will be doing over the course of your program is that you will begin to get very familiar with how your profession views the topic or research interest you are bringing to the field. You will also see themes emerging from the many articles you read. For example, in selecting articles related to a research topic of professional identity, there are many articles; within that broad topic group one can find several articles connected to one another in some fashion. The professional literature is much like an ongoing discussion of problems facing the field, so you will often see within your searches for literature several articles presenting different aspects of a single topic. You’ll note that there might be three or four different professional opinions as to what the pressing issues are in the topic area you are interested in studying. There will be schools of thought emerging – and patterns in the discussions of topics and problems in your field. You begin to recognize the perspectives emerging and see relatedness between the articles and studies. These patterns and schools of thought and connections can also be described as “themes” emerging from the professional literature. In using the example of the topic of professional identity, notice that the following themes, or repeated discussions, appear across the literature. In 35 or more professional journal articles, many of those articles fit neatly into one of these four categories:

Unity in professional identity (having an overarching vision for the profession),
Specialization in professional identity (having specialty areas for the profession),
Education as a primary contributor to a person’s professional identity
Standards in Competency as a professional concern

These four categories are themes in the literature on professional identity and they provide an excellent basis to frame and structure a discussion of the problem of professional identity in a literature review.

There is much discussion about whether a profession needs more unity in its identity or if certification (and specialization) is more important. The contributions of education programs to the formation of professional identity is another perspective introduced on the topic. Professional licensure and certification emerge as another theme in the professional identity topic: standards in competency.

These themes highlighted above provide a way for me to organize a literature review into a series of critical discussions. Uncovering the themes also provides you a basis of support for your own research questions. Also, using search terms from these themes will help to uncover additional literature. Through all this reading over quite some time, you are bound to find gaps in the literature – a question yet to be asked! The more immersed you are in the literature, the more likely you will know the core issues in the topic area, and the more likely you are to find gaps in the literature, such as that question that has yet to be proposed!

The reason you read so many journal articles and scholarly publications is to assure that first, we are grounded in the professional literature so we can ask research questions that will expand on the current body of knowledge. By the time you arrive at dissertation, after your coursework is completed, it is expected you will have substantial understanding of the professional perspectives on your research interests. One’s research questions naturally spring from one’s own curiosity, that’s an excellent starting point and keeps the connection with one’s passion and experience; the next step is finding a good fit between your question and the existing body of professional literature. By the time dissertation comes around, you will be quite knowledgeable about your topic.

Critical Analysis and Synthesis Versus Reporting

Once you have identified themes and patterns in the literature around which you can organize your knowledge of the problem area, you’ll have a good structure in which to present your discussion and analysis of the published scholarly works.

In addition to using emergent themes and patterns in the literature to organize your study, now it is time for you to step up into an “informed reviewer” role when preparing your discussions of your literature. The themes can be used as section headings to present a logical unfolding of the topics and subtopics related to your research interests in the professional literature. For instance, you identify the merits of the different opinions, pairing author Expert’s findings with two related studies by authors Clever and Brighter. However, instead of listing factors one and two from Expert’s findings, then discussing Clever’s discovery that relates to Expert’s findings but takes it a step further, followed by discussing Brighter’s perspective, you synthesize the material by including an integrated discussion of Expert, Clever, and Brighter’s work as those works relate to the different themes

You might find Expert came up with several interesting findings, but Expert’s’ methodology was in question because the sample size was too small to generalize the results to larger populations. You might appreciate that Clever’s work is well organized, with a sequence of planned studies, one building on the other, and also note that seven other studies find Clever’s arguments well founded and supported in other’s research. Perhaps Brighter’s research design did not factor in some aspect of the population studied that is very apparent to you but is not discussed in the article. By discussing these aspects, you discuss the themes and subtopics in your topic area as they relate to one another and how they develop a comprehensive picture of the problem discussion in the field.

The writing involved in this kind of critical analysis for literature reviews uses far fewer direct quotations than you will find in report writing. You are introducing your own perspective as a professional engaged in the discussion. Your analysis points out the merits and possible shortcomings of other studies, and compares and contrasts current findings in the field. You develop expertise in seeking out the commonalities and the differentiators in the professional literature.

BACKGROUND

Mrs. Maria Perez is a 53 year old Puerto Rican female who presents to your office today due to a rather “embarrassing problem.”

SUBJECTIVE

Mrs. Perez admits that she has had “problems” with alcohol since her father died in her late teens. She reports that she has struggled with alcohol since her 20’s and has been involved with Alcoholics Anonymous “on and off” for the past 25 years. She states that for the past two years, she has been having more and more difficulty maintaining her sobriety since they opened the new “Rising Sun” casino near her home. Mrs. Perez states that she and a friend went to visit the new casino during their grand opening at which point she was “hooked.” She states that she gets “such a high” when she is gambling. While gambling, she “enjoys a drink or two” to help calm her during high-stakes games. She states that this often gives way to more drinking and more reckless gambling. She also reports that her cigarette smoking has increased over the past two years and she is concerned about the negative effects of the cigarette smoking on her health.

She states that she attempts to abstain from drinking but that she gets such a “high” from the act of gambling that she needs a few drinks to “even out.” She also notices that when she drinks, she doesn’t smoke “as much” but enjoys smoking when she is playing at the slot machines. She also reports that she has gained weight from drinking so much- she currently weights 122 lbs., which represents a 7 lb. weight gain from her usual 115 lb. weight.

Mrs. Perez is quite concerned today because she has borrowed over $50,000 from her retirement account to pay off her gambling debts. She is very concerned because her husband does not know that she has spent this much money.

MENTAL STATUS EXAM

The client is a 53 year old Puerto Rican female who is alert, oriented to person, place, time, and event. She is dressed appropriately for the weather and time of year. Her speech is clear, coherent, and goal directed. Her eye contact is somewhat avoidant during the clinical interview. As you make eye contact with her, she looks away or looks down. She demonstrates no noteworthy mannerisms, gestures, or tics. Her self-reported mood is “sad.” Affect is appropriate to content of conversation & self-reported mood. She visual or auditory hallucinations, no delusional or paranoid thought processes are readily appreciated. Insight and judgment are grossly intact, however, impulse control is impaired. She is currently denying suicidal or homicidal ideation.

Diagnosis: Gambling disorder, alcohol use disorder

Decisions Made and Outcomes (Needed to formulate the paper)

Choices for Decision 1: Select what the PMHNP should do: Decision Point One

  • Naltrexone (Vivitrol) injection, 380 mg intramuscularly in the gluteal region every 4 weeks
  • Antabuse (Disulfiram) 250 mg orally daily
  • Campral (Acamprosate) 666 mg orally three times/day

My decision

Decision Point One: Naltrexone (Vivitrol) injection, 380 mg intramuscularly in the gluteal region every 4 weeks

RESULTS OF DECISION POINT ONE

  • Client returns to clinic in four weeks
  • Mrs. Perez said that she felt “wonderful” as she has not “touched a drop” to drink since receiving the injection
  • Client reports that she has not been going to the casino, as frequently, but when she does go she “drops a bundle” (meaning, spends a lot of money gambling)
  • Client She is also still smoking, which has her concerned. She is also reporting some problems with anxiety, which also have her concerned

Choices for Decision 2:

Select what the PMHNP should do next:

  • Add on Valium (diazepam) 5 mg orally TID/PRN/anxiety
  • Refer to a counselor to address gambling issues
  • Add on Chantix (varenicline) 1 mg orally BID

My decision: Add on Valium (diazepam) 5mg orally TID/PRN/anxiety

Outcome: RESULTS OF DECISION POINT TWO: RESULTS OF DECISION POINT TWO

  • Client returns to clinic in four weeks
  • Mrs. Perez reports that when she first received the valium, it helped her tremendously. She states “I was like a new person- this is a miracle drug!” However, she reports that she has trouble “waiting” between drug administration times and sometimes takes her valium early
  • Client is asking today for you to increase the valium dose or frequency

Choices for Decision 3:

Select what the PMHNP should do next:

  • Continue current dose of Vivitrol, increase Valium to 10 mg orally TID/PRN/anxiety. Refer to counseling for her ongoing gambling issue
  • Continue current dose of Vivitrol, decrease/taper Valium with the goal of discontinuation in the next 2 weeks. Refer to counseling for her ongoing gambling issue
  • Continue current dose of Vivitrol and maintain current dose of valium. Refer to counseling for her ongoing gambling issue

My decision: Continue current dose of Vivitrol, decrease/taper Valium with the goal of discontinuation in the next 2 weeks. Refer to counseling for her ongoing gambling issue

Guidance to Student

Anxiety is a common side effect of Vivitrol. Mrs. Perez reports that she is doing well with this medication, and like other side effects, the anxiety associated with this medication may be transient. The psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner should never initiate benzodiazepines in a client who already has issues with alcohol, or other substance dependencies. Additionally, benzodiazepines are not to be used long-term. Problems associated with long-term benzodiazepine use include the need to increase the dose in order to achieve the same therapeutic effect. This is what we are seeing in Mrs. Perez’s case.

The most appropriate course of action in this case would be to continue the current dose of Vivitrol, while decreasing the Valium with the goal of discontinuation of the drug within the next two weeks. At this point, we need to evaluate whether or not the side effect of anxiety associated with Vivitrol persists.

Increasing the dose of Valium would not be appropriate, neither would maintaining her on the current dose of Valium. Additionally, the client should be referred for counseling to help with her gambling addiction, as there are no FDA approved medications gambling disorder.

Medication should never be added treat side effect of another medication, unless that side effect is known to be transient (for instance, benzodiazepines are sometimes prescribed to overcome the initial problem of “activation” associated with initiation of SSRI, or SNRI therapy). However, in a client with multiple addictive disorders, benzodiazepines should never be used (unless they are only being used for a limited duration of therapy such as acute alcohol detoxification to prevent seizures).

Additionally, it should be noted that Mrs. Perez continues to engage in problematic gambling, at considerable personal financial cost. Mrs. Perez needs to be referred to a counselor who specializes in the treatment of gambling disorder, and should also be encouraged to establish herself with a local chapter of gamblers anonymous.

The PMHNP needs to discuss smoking cessation options with Mrs. Perez in order to address the totality of addictions, and to enhance her overall health.
