4- Who was Lillian Wald?

5- Who was Margaret Sanger, and in what way she helped to the developments of Nursing Field?6_ what is    (ICN), and what they do?

7- What is  s (NLCA) and they do?

Jeanne Blum, RN, is a nurse on a  LDRP unit. Recently, the policy and    procedures manual for Jeanne’s unit included the premature rupturing of membranes of a laboring patient    as a practice acceptable for nurses to perform. Jeanne    and some of her coworkers shared their concern over    lunch about this new responsibility.They felt uncomfortable with the possibility of cord prolapse and    other potential medical complications resulting from    this practice. Jeanne gathered data from her state and    many others states and noted that her hospital was    not in compliance with her professional organizationpractice standards. Jeanne shared this information   with her coworkers. She volunteered to contact the    state board of nursing on their behalf to request a    declaratory statement on the nurse’s role in the initiation of premature rupturing of uterine membranes.    Her state board’s clinical practice committee    reviewed her request for a declaratory statement and    gathered information from other states. A formal    declaratory statement was drafted by the board and    made it available on its Web site. A letter from the    board was sent to Jeanne’s institution, informing it of    the declaratory statement, which stated that the task    nurses were requested to perform was beyond their    scope of practice based on the Nurse Practice Act. 8-Which stage of the policy model does this scenario    represent? ■

Visit the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ( https://www.ahrq.gov/funding/training-grants/hsrguide/hsrguide.html ) and after reading their “An Organizational Guide to Building Health Services Research Capacity”, discuss the following:

1. Using AHRQ’s definition, what is health services research used for? How can health services research affect policy?

• Then, refer to pages 34-40 in your text and describe the process of health services research. What topic in HSR would you choose to research? What problems in health services would you like to solve?

As you have been exploring human behavior and the social environment, you have likely increased your awareness of the many biological, psychological, and sociological factors that affect individual behavior. Human relationships are complex, and social workers may find it difficult to keep these important interactions in mind when addressing a client’s needs. Murray Bowen (as cited in Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016, p. 595) developed the genogram, a tool to help social workers and other practitioners create a record of family relationships. Once a social worker creates a genogram for a client, he or she may refer to it when analyzing the client’s situation.

To prepare for this Assignment, become familiar with how to create a genogram, which is presented in this week’s resources. Also, review this week’s media about Juan and Elena Hernandez’s visit with their social worker.

By Day 7

Submit a 2- to 4-page paper that includes the following:

• 1. A genogram of the Hernandez family
• 2. An analysis of the Hernandez family’s case based on the genogram including the following information.
  • 3. Identify an element of the Hernandez family’s case that may influence the way Juan and Elena Hernandez address their issue with the social worker.
  • 4. Explain how the genogram you created might help you address the needs of the Hernandez family.

Collaboration is essential to accurate diagnosis of the conditions under consideration in this week. For this week’s Discussion, you practice collaboration by working in a group on developing a “Parent Guide,” which will serve as a teaching tool for parents with children who have been diagnosed with a specific mental health disorder.

It is recommended that you make your project as attractive as possible and consider using the finished product as teaching tools for families that you will work with in your own practices.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Analyze signs and symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders

· Analyze the pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders

· Analyze diagnosis and treatment methods for neurodevelopmental disorders

· Evaluate Parent Guides

To Prepare for this Discussion:

· Topic of disorder is Specific learning disorder

· Review the resources concerning your assigned disorder. (Specific learning disorder)

· Use your group’s Discussion Board to design and develop the Parent Guide before posting to the group wiki.

· Discussions instructions below.

Using evidence-based research, design and develop a Parent Guide for your assigned disorder including:

Introduction

· Signs and symptoms (please concentrate on Signs and symptoms)

·

Provide a minimum of 1-2 academic references.

In social work practice and in program development, it is possible to make faulty assumptions about what clients need and what social work activities will lead to. Consider the following:

A team of social workers meets to discuss their services to low-income young mothers. One social worker states that what the young mothers need most is information about community resources. She proposes that the social workers’ activities consist of making referrals to programs for public assistance for income support, food stamps, medical insurance, employment agencies, and educational resources. However, another team member points out that most clients are referred to their program from the public welfare office and health care programs. This suggests that the clients tend to possess knowledge of these common resources and have been able to access them.

How might the team explore what problems bring the clients to their agency? What might the team learn from client assessments? How can the team verify the desired outcomes of their services? Developing a logic model will help the team see a logical connection between problems, needs, intervention activities, and corresponding outcomes. This series of logical connections leads to formulating a theory of change, that is, a theory about how our work leads to the outcomes for clients.

To prepare for this Discussion, imagine that you are part of a work group charged with creating a logic model and generating a theory of change. Select a practitioner-level intervention for which you are interested in analyzing connections. Consider how a logic model might be applied to that practice.

Post a logic model and theory of change for a practitioner-level intervention. Describe the types of problems, the client needs, and the underlying causes of problems and unmet needs. Identify the short- and long-term outcomes that you think would represent an improved condition. Then describe interventions that would lead to a change in the presenting conditions. Be sure to search for and cite resources that inform your views.
