Mr. Andrews is a 36-year-old man who has been a life-long career criminal. He has suffered ridicule and has expressed episodes of depression. Currently, he is located at a maximum security prison and has requested that he be reevaluated to go to a medium-security prison for the remainder of his sentence. At the current location, Mr. Andrews has received numerous prison violation tickets for disorderly conduct, assault on an inmate, and not following the instructions of a corrections officer during work detail.

During his intake, it was noted that Mr. Andrews’s behavior toward authority was aggressive, and his responses to questions were vague. As you look at this reevaluation, it will be very important to use the correct assessment. Both OASys and LSI-R have components that address his socialization, but there has been no treatment plan initiated that addressed his issues.

Individual Portion

• Using the information from the above scenario, each individual group member should address the following in 500–700 words:
  • Indicate which assessment or diagnostic technique (OASys or LSI-R) you would use.
    • Why do you feel that this diagnostic technique is the most appropriate in the case of Mr. Andrews?
    • Do you feel that the diagnostic technique that you did not select would be inadequate considering the circumstances above? Why?
  • What is the risk level (low, medium, or high) of Mr. Andrews?
    • Do you feel that a medium-security facility is the ideal option for the incarceration of Mr. Andrews? Why or why not?
      • Use examples from the scenario to support your argument.
      • at least 2 references minimum, abstract,

Please do a paragraph about this post with this instruction . post most have 4 or more sentences . you also have to have a high quality post from a content perspective. This means it also needs to do more than agree with or praise a class mate. If you agree with a classmate, explain why, give an example, share what you learned in the readings

“Facilitating spiritual care for patients with worldviews different from mine is not difficult for me because from my travels around the world, I have been exposed to different cultures, moral values, belief system, age, activities of daily living, and these exposure has given me knowledge and understanding of human nature as a whole. The human needs are the same worldwide; culture, traditions and belief system influence these needs. I believe I have a God given gift of tolerance which has kept me in this profession because I do not believe in dispute or grudge, my ideology is being open minded free of prejudice, finding out the differences and addressing them accordingly, and I am well known for that at work, so they nicknamed me the “Diplomat” always trying to solve conflicts and differences.

Addressing patients with different worldview than mine would be to use open-ended questions to identify patient’s views about illness and health, affirming what the patient has verbalized to me, reflecting on the information with the patient and summarizing all the information collected to formulate patient’s identified outcome while creating a therapeutic environment. According to Shelly & Miller (2006), “when patients or family members come from other religious traditions, or no religion, they may refuse any offer of spiritual intervention. Some may request spiritual care from a representative of their own belief system. In such cases we must respect their preferences. Sometimes that opposition comes when spiritual care is inappropriately offered”.

Putting myself in the patient’s position, the person that would have the final say in terms of ethical decision-making and intervention in the event of a grim condition depends on if I am mentally stable and able to make decisions for myself or if I am knowledgeable enough of the condition. From my Christian worldview, we are all made in God’s image and must live according to the scripture finding our life’s purpose. We have to walk the Lord’s path by loving our neighbors as ourselves, being kind to one another, caring, giving, sharing and reflect these qualities of our Creator. God has equipped every one of us with these qualities; it is for us to live by it according to his word. Christian foundation has shaped my understanding of the relationship between Christian worldview and Bioethics because Christian worldview of nursing convicts us to care for individuals with the moral underpinning in God’s promise for humanity. Caring is a sanctified belief to look after the sick, poor, psychologically and physiologically challenged which in turn is serving God and his creation. If I am able to make decisions, it will be according to my Christian worldview regarding ethical decision making and my advance directive will also be that way.

After you have completed the Reading, and without reviewing your classmate’s responses, post your initial response to the following Discussion. Your post should be at least 400–450 words in length and should extend the discussion of the group supported by your course materials and/or other appropriate resources.

After you have submitted your initial post, take time to review your classmates’ responses and to respond specifically and substantially to at least two of them. Refer to the Discussion Rubric for specific grading explanation.

How to Measure Performance

There are many factors that influence the effectiveness of measurement and performance appraisal. In this Discussion you will identify factors that related to accurate performance measurement. You will also create practice creating operational definitions for behavior for a fictional organization described in the scenario below:

Scenario:

Your company, Acme Behavioral Consultation, Inc., has asked you to review a new case. Your client is Care Relief, a large in home respite care service provider for families with children who have special needs. Care Relief is funded by private pay from families as well as payment from health insurance companies. Care Relief is having some issues in the area of staff performance and they have asked for assistance with strategies to measure the performance of their staff.

Quarterly satisfaction surveys indicate that families using Care Relief services are very dissatisfied with employees providing care to their loved ones with special needs. Issues include:

• Tardiness
• Unprofessional Behavior

For this Discussion:

1. Create an operational definition for tardiness and unprofessional behavior.
2. Describe the important criteria that should be included in a performance appraisal for staff at Care Relief.
3. Discuss the importance of measurement and operational definitions to the creation of appropriate behavior management plans for staff.
4. Describe the importance and role of Interrater Reliability in the creation of operational definitions and performance measurement.

Answer these questions according to the textbook Getting Real About Race by Stephanie McClure and Cherise Harris: Please answer each question separately and must be at least 200 words each. NO PLAGIARISM

1. The sociological imagination allows us to be curious about the remarkably patterned features of our social lives, despite all our human diversity. Select two quotes from today’s reading that, although probably spoken by 2 individuals who have never met, display strikingly similar frames and styles of colorblind racism. Why do you think these patterns of talking about race have taken hold so well in our society, and what function does it serve for society that these stories tend to be told like this?

2. Positive self-presentation is an important driver of many of colorblind racism’s storylines and testimonies. Consider one of the quotes presented in your assigned textbook reading, and propose an alternative way that the speaker could relate the same information or experience without reproducing colorblind racism? What would that look like?
