Social policies can have a significant impact on individuals and families, as well as the organizations and agencies that implement the policies. In some cases, the policy, as written, appears comprehensive and effective. Yet, despite appearances, the policy might fail to be effective as a result of improper implementation, interpretation, and/or application of the policy. As a social worker, how might you reduce the potential negative impact faulty social policies might have on organizations and agencies, as well as the populations you serve?
For this Discussion, review this week’s resources, including cases “Working with Immigrants and Refugees: The Case of Luisa” and “Social Work Policy: Benefit Administration and Provision.” Then, select either of the cases and consider how the social welfare policies presented in the case influenced the problems facing Luisa or Tessa. Finally, think about how policies affect social agencies and how social workers work with clients such as Tessa or Luisa.
Post by Day 3 an explanation of the effects of the social welfare policies presented in the case study you selected on Luisa or Tessa. Be specific and reference the case study you selected in your post. Finally, explain how policies affect social agencies and how social workers work with clients, such as Tessa or Luisa.
Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

CTU Health Care Systems has five clinics that serve nearly 2 million
residents in a large metropolitan area and treat over 500,000 patients
annually. Now that you have successfully implemented the electronic
health record (EHR) at the main facility, it is time to integrate the
clinic’s information technology (IT) with the main hospital’s EHR. In
preparation for the implementation of an EHR system for the five
clinics, the health care system implemented an electronic document (ED)
and content management (CM) system to handle the imaging, indexing, and
storage of selected hard copy documents from active patient paper
medical records so that in the future, to support continuity of care
needs, key documents would be retrievable through the EHR system.
However, the health care system lacked the level of internal IT and
health information services staff resources required to manage the
implementation of hardware and software to handle the actual paper
conversion process, so these aspects of the project were outsourced.

Mr. C is overweight, experiencing digestive issues and by his labs and vitals is hypertensive with diabetes and hyperlipidemia. If he continues this way of living, a domino effect of disorders will cascade into multi-symptom failures. He holds the risk of suffering a myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, renal failure, developing a fatty liver, barrett’s esophagus from the peptic ulcer or even a full on gastrointestinal bleed (NIH, 2012). Nutritional deficits can also affect the skeletal and muscular system in the form of osteoarthritis.
For this case bariatric surgery would be essential in helping Mr. C to reverse his current situation and prevent further decline in his overall health. According to guidelines from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (2016), Mr. C already possesses a high BMI with serious health problems such as obesity , type 2 diabetes , heart disease, and sleep apnea making him an ideal candidate for this procedure.
Medications ordered will best fit Mr. C’s schedule and enhance compliance if given at the following times.
6am- Carafate
10:30am- Carafate, Mylanta
4:30pm- Carafate, Mylanta
9pm- Mylanta
11Pm(bedtime)- Carafate, Mylanta, Zantac
Health Perception – States he has always been heavy, even as a child.
Health Management – Seeking help with weight management. Suffers from multiple health issues, BMI >40
Nutritional-Metabolic – No evidence of metabolic diseases, tries to follow a sodium restrictive diet. Weight gain of 100 lbs. in last 2-3 years. Suffers from peptic ulcer disease.
Elimination – No information about elimination in this case study.
Activity-Exercise – Works at a catalog telephone center. This position does not require any physical activity as it is mainly a desk job.
Sleep-Rest – Currently suffers from sleep apnea.
Cognitive-Perceptual – No deficiencies noted.
Self-Perception – Sees himself as a heavy person since early childhood.
Self-Concept – Wants to change his weight.
Role-Relationship – Actively works but no other information given.
Sexuality-Reproductive – Case study does not give any information.
Coping-Stress Tolerance – Weight gain of 100 lbs. in last 2-3 years. Unable to control health issues.
Actual problems with Mr. C are as follows:
1. Obesity- This has been an issue since childhood and evidenced by his report of being heavy since childhood, height of 68inches and weight of 134.5kg. He works at a catalog telephone center and doesn’t mention any extracurricular activities.
2. Hypertension- A blood pressure of 172/96 can be linked to his inactivity, obesity, diet choices and hyperlipidemia.
3. Hyperlipidemia- A fasting blood glucose of 146 doesn’t only indicate that Mr. C has diabetes but also indicates a lack of healthy dietary choices. Cholesterol of 250mg/dL, triglycerides 312 mg/dL and HDL of 30 mg/dL indicates high levels of fat circulating through the vascular system which in turns creates a atherosclerosis or hardening of the vessel walls. This can create high blood pressure as it takes more force to push blood through the system and can lead to the complication of stroke or MI.
4. Sleep apnea. Most likely caused by the heavy weight creating pressure on the neck closing the airway when Mr. C tries lying down or relaxing to sleep. This can easily be reversed by weight loss.
5. Peptic Ulcer disease- A diet high in fat, cholesterol and fried foods along with the weight causes upset to the GI system which is unhealthy resulting in constant heartburn, acid reflux and general overall feeling of illness (NIH, 2012). This too can be reversed by healthy lifestyle changes including heart healthy diet and increased activity.

Formal citations are not necessary for this assignment unless you use a source outside of the textbook and the Intervenors handout. When quoting from or referring to an idea in the supplied readings, do include the name of the author (e.g. “According to David Whisnant…” or “Anthony Wallace defines…” or “Richard Handler and Jocelyn Linnekin believe that…” or “Gearóid Ó hAllmhuráin [author of our textbook] argues that…” or “Helen Brennan suggests that…”). Feel free to use sources/definitions beyond the course materials.
1. Would you describe the actions of the London Gaelic League and the Irish Dancing Commission regarding Irish dance as “inventing tradition”? As revival? As a nativistic movement? A revitalisation movement? Why? Include some discussion of definitions in your answer, as well as an overview of the efforts of the two organizations. If you find it helpful, you might consider how things might be different now if the London Gaelic League and the Irish Dancing Commission hadn’t acted when they did. [Suggested length: 1 page +, 15 points]
Choose three of the following 5-point questions to answer [Suggested length: 2-3 paragraphs per question].
2. Is a revived tradition “authentic” (or “genuine”)? Hint: Consider carefully the meanings of terms. OR you may choose to answer the question: Is a “revivalist” — who may be from outside the original culture — an authentic tradition-bearer? (This is a question with which some festival presenters have wrestled.)
3. Give an example in which the process of selection/intervention by an “official” person or organization excluded elements of musical/dance culture that were valued by others. OR give an example in which the process of selection/intervention by an “official” person or organization imposed new standards on a tradition.

This is a discussion question, here is the professor’s post, you need responses his post:

Here we compare the medieval Lord reproaching Adam and Eve to Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel! The characters are the same (that is thought to be Eve in the crook of God’s arm) but the influence of Humanism has greatly changed the way the human body is portrayed so let’s start with an analysis of this so help us understand how the view of humanity changes with the Renaissance!
I will also post some student’s post to help you better understand the question:
From Medieval times to the Renaissance, the shift in society and humanity as a whole, was immense. Due to a vast variety of factors, societies around the world were being influenced by the significant rise of religion. During the Medieval times, it was more of the early stages of this “religious influence”, by the time of the Renaissance era, religion had already taken part in societies as a whole. In regards to art itself, we can see how during Medieval times the pieces of artwork were far more “simple” than the ones created during the Renaissance period. Undoubtedly, there are several factors that influence this stylistic comparison between the two, however one very noticeable factor is how artists in the Renaissance focused on creating portraits that demonstrated the “divinity” of their religion; they created portraits that expressed in detail and color, how “divine” these Biblical beings were to them. During the Medieval times we can also observe this appreciation for religious characters and happenings, however it isn’t portrayed with the same detail or expression that can be seen in artworks of the Renaissance period.
Here I will be comparing both Biblical Characters Adam and Eve, but from two different point of views one from Medieval and the other Renaissances. First as you can see the medieval version has lots of red, and darker colors. Which makes you relate to more of a bad darker feeling and get a foreshadow that something bad is going to happen or will end up being the result of something. There’s no light or balance in the color but a more serious vibe. They use regular basic dark, but bold colors which I feel captures the viewer. There is no emphasis on the anatomy or face expressions. They also use oil or a different texture paint besides marble structures, or glossy paint. Also, their art was very flat but did express some symmetry.
Next, I will be analyzing the Renaissance version of the Adam and Eve story, this one is so beautiful to me. It has lighter fluffy colors lol its softer, more balanced and toned in a way. It emphasizes the human anatomy the abs and toes which I never noticed before along with the fingers. If you look close all of the humans in the picture are perfectly aligned. It has the red and blues in the picture to let us know that there is still a symbolism of heaven and hell even though it’s not shown in the typical way such as flames and clouds but more in a human form (the lady with the red dress and knife and the blue sky in the background). Compared to the medieval picture where hell was the dark shade of red that was covered all in the background leaving adman and even to be the only representation of the heaven setting.
Although the themes portrayed in both pieces of art differ in terms of meaning, the artistic tones used in both illustrate purpose and balance to the meaning of humanity. The panel portraying the Medieval Lord approaching Adam and Eve incorporates negative space with little additional detail for better comprehension of a biblical event. The imagery in this panel reflects a sense of weakness and shame before God as highlighted by Adam and Eve’s gaunt-like physical appearance. The complexities of humanity are defined less vividly than that of Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam. In contrast to Michelangelo’s painting of the Creation of Adam, humanity is expressed more naturally and figuratively during the Renaissance. The composition is robust and detailed allowing each subject to feel more unique and lifelike. Textures and shadows are also organized in a way to give greater tone within all of his subjects. Michelangelo adopted a more humanist approach to this work by emphasizing classical aspects such as nudeness and other physical features that portray our sense of self.
There are many differences between the renaissance view and the medieval view of humanity. The viewpoints on both paintings are very different Medieval view on humanity the lord seems to be very demanding and powerful.He seems to stand alone and be the one who is controls what is going on. In the renaissance view the lord seems to be painted more as a human. He as people surrounding him. He is powerful but seems more friendly. I believe that this painting being in color very vibrant helps him seem more human like.
From the picture point of view, the medieval paintings are pessimistic, feudal. To the Renaissance, this feeling has improved, into an optimistic attitude. Renaissance works, which embodies the humanist ideology: advocating the liberation of individuality, against the medieval asceticism and religious view; to promote science and culture, against obscurantism, get rid of the church’s bondage to people’s minds; affirm human rights, against theocracy, Theology and the philosophy of the scholarly basis of all authority and traditional doctrine
Renaissance art praises the beauty of the human body, advocating the proportion of the human body is the world’s most harmonious proportion, and it applied to the building, although a series of religious stories are still the theme of painting, sculpture, but the performance is Ordinary people of the scene, the god pulled to the ground.
I think that is why Adam in the Sistine Chapel has a greatly changed the way the human body is portrayed.
