Details:

Write an essay (1,250-1,500 words) determining the stance that the theorists would take on key issues related to developmental psychology. Examples of relevant issues include, but are not limited to heredity versus environment, active versus passive learning, critical versus sensitive periods, and continuous versus discontinuous change.

For each issue addressed, consider the following:

1. Relevant information about the key issue.
2. Indicate which issue is being addressed.
3. Indicate the position the theorist would take on the issue.
4. Explain why the theorist would maintain that stance.
5. Address any issue the theorist did not address and why.
6. Use the GCU eLibrary databases; include a minimum of four to five outside references or other resources for evidentiary support (one of which may include the textbook).

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin.

The differentials you have chosen tie to the patient’s chief complaint. In your case study, one of my first thoughts was is this patient obese? and does she have regular periods. Patients that present with acne that have these two factors tend to have syndrome called PCOS. What is it? and would it apply to your patient in this case? (I”m not sure if this is a real or fictitious patient….so I”m curious to know your thoughts).

What case details in your case study tie to your 3rd differential of acneiform eruptions given your description of it……which type would apply to your patient?

“Nurses
are often placed in situations where they are expected to be agents for
patients, physicians, and the organization simultaneously, all of which
may have conflicting needs, wants, and goals.” Marquis, p. 84.

You are the evening shift charge nurse of the postanesthesia care
unit (PACU). You have just admitted a 32-year-old woman who 2 hours ago
was thrown from a Jeep in which she was a passenger. She was rushed to
the emergency department and subsequently to surgery, where cranial
burr holes were completed and an intracranial monitor was placed. No
further cranial exploration was attempted because the patient sustained
extensive and massive neurologic damage. She will probably not survive
your shift. The plan is to hold her in the PACU for 1 hour and, if she
is till alive, transfer her to the intensive care unit (ICU).

Shortly after receiving the patent, you are approached by the
evening house supervisor, who says that the patient’s sister is pleading
to be allowed into the PACU. Normally, visitors are not allowed into
the PACU when patients are being held there only temporarily, but
occasionally exceptions are made. Tonight, the PACU is empty except for
this patient. You decide to ben the rules and allow the young woman’s
sister to come in. The visiting sister is near collapse; it is obvious
that she had been the driver of the Jeep. As the visitor continues to
speak to the comatose patient, her behavior and words make you begin to
wonder if she is indeed the sister.

Within 15 minutes, the house supervisor return and states, “I have
made a terrible mistake. The patient’s family just arrived, and they
say that the visitor we just allowed into the PACU is not a member of
the family, but it’s the patient’s lover. They are very angry and
demand that this woman not be allowed to see the patient.

You approach the visitor and confront her in a kindly manner
regarding the information that you have just received. She looks at you
with tears streaming down her face ans says, “Yes, it is true. Mary
and I have been together for 6 years. Her family disowned her because
of it, but we were everything to each other. She has been my life, and I
have been hers. Please, please let me stay. I will never see her
again. I know the family will not allow me to attend the funeral. I
need to say my goodbyes. Please let me stay. It is not fair that they
have the legal right to be family when I have been the one to love and
care for Mary.”

Instructions:

1_You must decide what to do. A-Recognize that your own value system will play a part in your decision.

B-List several alternatives that are available to you.Identify which ethical frameworks or principles most affected your decision making.

2-Decide whether this could cause you “moral distress” if you were the nurse taking care of this patient. Elaborate on why this is the case…

3- Answer the questions as thoroughly and concisely as possible.

1. Be sure to reference any works that you utilize in answering the questions (Be sure that references are in APA format)

IMPORTANT: Follow the order of the numbers when completing this worksheet —

1. Start on the top w/ the type of user and situation you are focused on — you can only do this assignment well if you are focused on a specific type of person in a specific situation trying to get a specific type of JTBD completed.
2. From here go to the right side of the worksheet so you can talk about the Jobs-to-be-Done, Pains, and Gains (these create the User / Customer Profile — remember the right side of the canvas is describing a users needs and should NOT include any details about your ideas for solutions).
3. Finally, you will go to the left side and brainstorm dozens of RADICAL ideas for product or services that could be used to solve the problem / opportunity described in the customer / user profile on the right side of the VPC. Note: all of your brainstormed ideas should be related to the same user / customer profile. Also, as a reminder, we are looking for NEW TO THE WORLD ideas that do not exist anywhere already.

I created this guide to help with completing the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC). In this case you are just doing the right side of the canvas (and using that to brainstorm ideas for solutions on the left side of this worksheet). You need to complete the whole worksheet / HW template but the worksheet just includes the right side of the VPC and a brainstorming space on the left. Next week you will be doing the full VPC so it is important to understand the whole VPC.

Here is the template for this homework.
