Take a product tag, or an instruction manual, form some kind of home or garden, assignment help

/in /by

Take a product tag, or an instruction manual, form some kind of home or garden product, and answer the following questions:

1. Describe the item in detail such as the instruction manual for a specific household appliance, the written instructions provided along with a prescribed medication, or the warning label on a hairdryer made by Conair.

2. Argue whether or not the writer and company included legal considerations when writing. For example, does the document appear to respect copy write law? Why or why not? Or, if it’s a product tag or label, evaluate it for safety, warranties, adequacy of instruction, defects, and liability. Analyze it for FTC and state standards.

3. Did the company break trademark, contract, or liability law? How?

4. Now, think as though you are a lawyer and examine every potential legal part of the document or tag. Do you believe changes should be made? Include your suggestions and/or ideas. In other words, be creative and think of ways people could hurt themselves or otherwise find the company at fault for injuries caused by the product and its use or misuse.

5. Finally, what was the most important lesson (if any) or your greatest take away from this exercise?

Advanced Clinical Discussion (WALDEN)

/in /by

What is important to know and when is it important to know it? To intervene in a problem, a social worker must first identify the problem. Screening and initial assessment can be useful to identity individuals who may be experiencing mental health concerns and could benefit from seeing a clinical social worker. This then would lead to a more comprehensive assessment from which a treatment plan is built. However, deciding who to assess, when, and using which tools can feel like a confusing process. For example, should you provide depression screenings in the community to people who are not clients? Should you screen all new clients for substance abuse regardless of presenting problem? Should you ask about suicide in every session or only when it feels like it could be a concern?

For this Discussion, review the following resources and consider the different screening and assessment tools currently available. Identify the tools you think you would be most likely to use in your practice.

Post which screening and/or assessment tool(s) you would use in your practice. Explain why you identified the specific instrument(s) given the type of practice and client population with whom you would like to work. Explain how and when you would use the tool(s). Explain how you would use the information gathered from the tool in a session.

One of the major challenges with the Social Security system is the lack of funds available to accommodate those who have been paying into it. In 2018, a report from the Report of the Trustee of the Social Security Trust Fund suggested, that by the year 2034, the revenue available to payout full payments to its participants just would not be available. The generation most affected by this dilemma would be the Baby Boomers. (Keevey, 2019)

It’s not fair to Baby Boomers, who have been contributing their whole lives to prepare for retirement and now that they are ready to receive benefits they will be denied or given partial payments. The problem is also posing a huge sense of uncertainty and skepticism among other generations. Children of Baby Boomers and even grandchildren are aware that the social security financial crisis will affect them directly and indirectly. (Karger & Stoesz, 2018, p.213).

Therefore in solving this problem another problem arises which is, how or where does the Social Security system plan to get the money to fix this? Also whatever solution is chosen is it viable enough to prevent this from happening again and affecting other generations? In the article, The Real Problem With Social Security, the author Brad McMillian suggests it’s an easy fix when he states, “Can we raise social security revenue enough to do that? In fact, economically, it would be quite simple. Right now, social security contributions are limited to the first $132,900 of income; if you make more than that, you don’t pay on the excess” (McMillian, 2019).

McMillian also believes that by eliminating the limitation of taxation on workers earnings and maintaining that all workers are taxed on all of their earnings would bring a huge revenue stream to the Social Security system (McMillian, 2019). In the article, Social Security: Problems and Logical Solutions, Richard Keevey also believes tat the taxable maximum should be eliminated but offers a few more solutions when he states, “A gradual increase in age to qualify for full benefits from 67 to 68.52 over a period of the next 10 years; and an increase in the payroll tax rate of 1 to 2 percent over the same time line” (Keevey, 2019).

As human services providers we must look at these possible solutions and the ages of our staff or clientele to determine how they might impact budgeting. In addition depending on those numbers look at the impact of fundraising. I would look to adhere strategic fund raising so that whatever our company needs or obstacles we can troubleshoot and hopefully offset costs using this method. As Herzberg stated in the Foundations in human services practice on pg 115, “Strategic fundraising is a mission based approach which means the organization’s mission is critical to the process of setting fundraising objectives and goals” (Herzberg, 2015,p.115).

Please respond with a paragraph to the following question, add citations and references:

Wellness and prevention programs are known to save money however it is underused. With the passing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) wellness programs has become a National public health strategy to address the increasing chronic diseases and reduce the cost. According to public health record, Americans spend more on healthcare than any other country. Changing the healthcare system to prevention and wellness is essential. A 2006 study “determined that increasing the use of preventive services including tobacco cessation screening, alcohol abuse screening, and aspirin use—to 90% of the recommended levels could save $3.7 billion annually in medical costs. Shifting our nation’s focus toward preventive health will not only result in cost savings but, more importantly, will save and improve lives” (Benjamin, 2011).

According to American Nurses Today, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACT) gives nurse the opportunity to provide a pivotal role in a leading change. Nurses fit in this shift by providing care more towards preventative care; provide chronic care management to the aging, sicker, and more diverse population; and offer end-of-life care that stresses on comfort and compassion especially geriatrics population. Nurses must do more to prepare themselves for the future by furthering their education. Nurses play important roles as innovators who help shape quality and safety. Successful models aren’t born, implemented, or sustained without solid effectiveness data. It’s up to all nurses to collect and track data to improve their own practice as part of broader efforts to improve care (America Nurses Today, 2010).
