Investigation for protective services

This case focuses on the child abuse scenario from prior modules.

In this case a 13-year-old came to school with what seemed like paint staining the back of her pink sweat suit. The school nurse invited her into the office to change her clothes. When the girl took off her sweatpants, she winced in pain. The nurse asked her permission to look at her buttocks. It was beaten raw. Child Protective Services were called and the girl was placed in immediate protective custody.

You are the investigating CPS worker. You have already interviewed the girl’s mother and written a report (Module 5). You have also interviewed the girl and her father (Module 6). Now summarize your interview findings. In addition use any other helpful theory and concepts in your discussion such as memory theory or Root Cause Analysis.

Your inclination is to place the girl in protective custody until a final determination can be made. What are the pros and cons of this decision? How would you discuss the possible need for protective custody with her?

Literature & Humanity

  1. In
    this learning activity, you will write an essay that critically evaluates
    one of the major genres of literature and how it contributes to our
    understanding of humanity. Choose from fantasy, biography, romance, mystery, science fiction, autobiography, informational, or poetry.

Select one of those genres for a
critical essay on how the work represented in this genre helps us better
understand ourselves and each other. 

For example, one might select the
fairytale genre that would include works such as Snow White, Cinderella, and
Little Red Riding Hood.  You may wish to approach this from the
perspective of a child and what children learn from the
genre. Additionally, to provide contrast, you may also offer an adult’s
perspective on how lessons learned as a child from the fairytales translate
into adulthood. As you evaluate your genre, consider it from different
viewpoints to provide a thorough analysis. Be sure to provide a reference
listing of all sources used in your essay and follow the essay guidelines
below.

Essay Guidelines:

Your research should be documented by citing at least five
credible sources, such as a textbook, a newspaper, a biographic article, book,
or website. Wikipedia and any similar online reference sites where the content
may be authored by anyone are not considered credible sources for scholarly
writing.

Your essay should be 300–500 words in length, single spaced,
and in APA format.

Capital Expenditure Proposals

Refer to Assignment Exercise 16-1
on page 393 in your assigned course textbook and submit your answers to
the questions in the text.  In your response, include at least four
requests Ted should make.  Justify the requests and explain the
strategy.  Your paper needs to be two-three pages (not including title
and reference pages) and formatted according to APA guidelines.  You must use at least one
scholarly source besides the textbook, cited in APA format.

Question:

Ted
Jones, the Surgery Unit Director, is about to choose his strategy for creating
a capital expenditure budget funding proposal for the coming year.  Ted’s unit needs more room.  The surgery Unit is running at over 90%
capacity.  In addition, a prominent
cardiology surgeon on staff at the hospital wants to create a new cardiac
surgery program that would require extensive funding for more space and for new
state-of-the-art equipment.  The surgeon
has been campaigning with the hospital board members. 

What
should Ted decide to ask for? How should he go about crafting a strategy to
justify his request, given the hospital’s new scoring system?
