Communication Scenario
A group of colleagues is meeting to discuss how to market a health care product. Prior to the in-person meeting, several ideas were developed and shared via email with the group. The group was asked to review the ideas and bring their thoughts and feedback to the meeting.
Email:
The email sent out to the group is provided below:
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, we are in the final stages of launching a new product. We are now seeking ways to market the product to the public. I have received a few ideas and wanted to share them with the group prior to our face-to-face meeting.

Ice cream social to familiarize the product with staff and internal partners
Short video describing the product and how the public should use it
Social media campaign to increase knowledge of the product
Commercial introducing the product
Sharing information about the product via word of mouth

As you can see, we have some good ideas to kick off our meeting, but we need to develop a great marketing plan. Please come prepared to discuss these and any additional ideas you may have. Looking forward to our meeting.
Best,
Gail
In-Person Meeting:
A week later, the group meets to discuss their ideas and feedback. The group consists of the following people:

Gail is the meeting organizer and the group lead on the project. She is very detail-oriented as well as focused and communicates effectively.
Larry is the least attentive of the group and less vocal. He wants to get the work done with minimal discussion.
Robert is very opinionated but has trouble communicating effectively and uses body language quite often.
Melissa is quiet, shy, and has amazing ideas but often has difficulty expressing herself.

Essay – Promoting mental health and wellbeing (1000 words)

Aim of assessment
The purpose of this guided essay is to enable students to consolidate nursing/midwifery issues covered in class materials and to determine students’ understanding of the topics and applications, in preparation for transition into the professional nursing and midwifery workforce. This is a guided essay based on a case study where the students respond by answering a series of questions.

Details
Using EITHER Scenario A or Scenario B- please answer the following questions:

1. Investigate and outline the prevalence/incidence of depression / anxiety (depending on the scenario you have chosen) in Australia – Your answer needs to cover: gender, age groups, specific risk groups, hospitalisations.
2. Using current literature discuss TWO (2) factors that may have contributed to the development of the client’s presentation and mental health concerns.
3. Using current literature discuss TWO (2) ethico-legal issues related to your scenario.
4. Identify TWO (2) nursing/midwifery concerns / problems with evidence from your chosen scenario- Your risk identification should be focused on the next 1-5 days of nursing/midwifery care for your client.
5. For each nursing / midwifery concern / problem you have identified in Question 4, outline and describe TWO (2) evidence based nursing / midwifery interventions (ie; what you would actually do as a nurse / midwife to support the person and how you would do it). Your interventions should be focused on nursing / midwifery care for your client over the next 1-5 days. They must be interventions which you would actually undertake directly with your client within your role as a nurse or midwife. You are also required to provide a clear rationale for each nursing / midwifery intervention (ie. why have you chosen the particular nursing interventions? How will the interventions support the person or contribute positively to their current presentation or concern?) Each intervention and rationale must be supported by current literature.

Scenario A
David has been referred to you in the Emergency Mental Health Community Team by his GP. His GP is concerned about David’s mental health state and risks to self. David is a 23 year old man, currently living with his mother. Both David and his brother, Peter, have a positive relationship with their mum. David’s mother and father divorced when he was 15 years old. Before his parent’s divorce, David had a positive relationship with his dad. However at the time of his parent’s divorce David became very angry towards his dad. David also directed his anger towards his friends at the time and he quickly became isolated from his peers, ultimately leaving school at 15 years old, at the end of year 9. David and his older brother, Peter, aged 25, had shared interests of bike riding and computers during their teenager years. During your meeting with David, he stated that he did feel that he and his brother had a close relationship and friendship. However, he acknowledged that they had become more distance in recent years. David has had three past heterosexual relationships lasting several months. His last relationship finished two months ago. His most recent girlfriend has disclosed she is three months pregnant and does not wish for David to be involved in the care of the baby.
After leaving school, David had a number of part time labourer jobs. Each job lasted for two to three months. His most recent employment, over a year ago, was terminated by the employer as a result of conflict with his colleagues. David had left three of his previous jobs on his own accord as he felt “he just didn’t fit in”. He recalled a constant feeling of agitation and sadness at the time. During your contact with David, he has not worked for at least a year. He has contact with his father and brother every month or so. Many of the contacts with his father and brother end in verbal hostility. During the assessment with David, you notice he becomes distressed and tearful on your questioning. He reports recent weight loss. He discloses he has been having difficulties sleeping, feeling exhausted and increasingly depressed. You make further attempts to find out what has been happening for David and to engage with him. He asks you to stop questioning as he is ashamed of how he is currently feeling. He is worried about letting his mum down as they have always had a positive relationship. He declines to look at you while you ask him about thoughts of suicide. He does not wish for you to have any discussions with his family.

Scenario B
Tracey is a 35 year old woman who presents for assessment to the Emergency Mental Health Community Team. She is six months pregnant with her third child. Her other children, to her ex-partner, are aged three and five. Tracey is in a heterosexual relationship with her partner of one year, Peter. Peter moved in to live with Tracey and her children eight months ago. The children’s father is distressed about Peter moving in to live with his children. There is verbal hostility between Tracey and her ex- partner each time he visits to collect the children for a weekend visit. Her ex- partner frequently states he is making arrangements for court to have full time care of the children. Tracey and her current partner, Peter, are in $35,000 uncontrolled debt after a recent new joint business venture failed. A finance company calls weekly requesting payment. Tracey and her partner stopped making the mortgage repayments three months ago, with the belief that dealing with the uncontrolled debt would be a better option. Her parents are supportive but live in Queensland. Tracey is able to have face to face contact with them once a year. She does chat with her parents over telephone every week if possible. Tracey states she is worried about how she will cope with her two children and new baby. She reports low mood, weekly panic attacks and fleeting thoughts of suicide. During your meeting with Tracey, you note she is fidgety and restless, breathing rapidly, shaking slightly, sweating and tearful. She is not wishing to actively engage with the mental health services, for fear it will impact on her having care of her children, stating she will visit her General Practitioner (GP).

written up, and she’s had her endone, paracetamol. I feel like she needs

something, sort of, slow release. It seems to wear off quite quickly.

Kelli: Ok.

Monica: Chanika, can you check this with me please?

Katie: I’m a bit worried ‘cos she hasn’t passed any urine since, I don’t

think, yesterday afternoon… She looks a bit dry in the mouth as well.

you.

Chanika: I’ve got it here.

Katie: Oh, ok.

[[Everyone speaking over each other]]

Kelli: Monica, when you’ve got some [inaudible – everyone speaking at

once] antibiotics. She hasn’t been on any… and I think that’s maybe…

Have we had a look at her wound this morning?

Monica: No, we haven’t actually. We haven’t got her out of bed for a

shower yet, so…

Kelli: Right.

Monica: Do you want us to have a look at her wound?

Kelli: Yeah, we need to look at the wound to see what’s happening now.

Monica: Ok, no problem. So I’m just going to get this IV going.

Kelli: [to Dolly] This is no good, Dolly, is it?

Dolly: No.

Kelli: I think you should be heading on the way home now, not getting

worse.

Monica: We need a new IV, it’s actually [bunged] so we need a new IV.

Kelli: Ok, right. I’ll put that in. Would you grab me the trolley for that

please? That would be good.

again…

Dolly: Ok

Kelli: And we’re getting you a bit of fluid. I think you’re a bit dry, aren’t

you?

Dolly: Yes, I’d love a cup of tea.

Kelli: You’d love a cup of tea! You’re a cup-of- tea girl are you? How do

you have your tea?

Dolly: With one sugar.

Kelli: Ok. I think maybe when we get this sorted we might be able to get

you a cup of tea.

Dolly: Ok.

Kelli: Alright.

Monica: [returning with trolley] What side would you like it in doctor?

Kelli: We’ll go this side.

Monica: Ok, cool.

Kelli: And that way…

Monica: [to Chanika] Can I just get the IV out of this trolley here?

Chanika and Katie continue checking the medications

Kelli: So, Dolly, I need to pop another drip in.

Dolly: Alright.

Kelli: I know they’re a bit uncomfortable, but we need to give you this

fluid. It’ll make you feel a lot better.

Dolly: Ok.

Kelli: Where do you live, Dolly?

Dolly: I live in a retirement home.

Kelli: Oh, lovely.

Monica: [returns with the new IV] Ok

Kelli: Very good.

Katie: So, just letting you know, we’ve got the pain relief ready. We just

need to wait ‘til…

Kelli: Excellent. I’m going to pop that in now. So we’ve got fluids ready to

go, we’ve got pain relief, and we’ve got someone getting antibiotics.

Katie: And someone getting antibiotics, ok.

Kelli: Lovely. Excellent. I think Monica was going to do that? Are you

going to do the antibiotics next, Monica?

Monica: Yes, yes. So I’ve got that here for you.

Katie: Do you want me to do anything else? Want me to check the

pressure again?

Kelli: Yes, we’ll need to take the obs again.

Katie: Yeah.

Kelli: Katie, you could do that for me?

Katie: Yep.

Monica: Where’s the other nurse? Chanika? Can you check this with me

please?

Kelli: Oh, Monica, remember that IV’s not working on that side. So just

give me a moment and I’ll pop this one in.

[Talking over each other]

Monica: Oh, yes, that’s right. [to Chanika] Can you just check this with

me?

Chanika: Yes, that’s already been checked…

Everyone talking at once.

Monica: Ok, we’ll get the IV in and then we’ll do that.

Dolly: Very busy.

Kelli: Very busy! Always busy these days!

Scenario A David has been referred to you in the Emergency Mental Health Community Team by his GP. His GP is concerned about Davids mental health state and risks to self. David is a 23 year old man, currently living with his mother. Both David and his brother, Peter, have a positive relationship with their mum. Davids mother and father divorced when he was 15 years old. Before his parents divorce, David had a positive relationship with his dad. However at the time of his parents divorce David became very angry towards his dad. David also directed his anger towards his friends at the time and he quickly became isolated from his peers, ultimately leaving school at 15 years old, at the end of year 9. David and his older brother, Peter, aged 25, had shared interests of bike riding and computers during their teenager years. During your meeting with David, he stated that he did feel that he and his brother had a close relationship and friendship. However, he acknowledged that they had become more distance in recent years. David has had three past heterosexual relationships lasting several months. His last relationship finished two months ago. His most recent girlfriend has disclosed she is three months pregnant and does not wish for David to be involved in the care of the baby.
After leaving school, David had a number of part time labourer jobs. Each job lasted for two to three months. His most recent employment, over a year ago, was terminated by the employer as a result of conflict with his colleagues. David had left three of his previous jobs on his own accord as he felt he just didnt fit in”. He recalled a constant feeling of agitation and sadness at the time. During your contact with David, he has not worked for at least a year. He has contact with his father and brother every month or so. Many of the contacts with his father and brother end in verbal hostility. During the assessment with David, you notice he becomes distressed and tearful on your questioning. He reports recent weight loss. He discloses he has been having difficulties sleeping, feeling exhausted and increasingly depressed. You make further attempts to find out what has been happening for David and to engage with him. He asks you to stop questioning as he is ashamed of how he is currently feeling. He is worried about letting his mum down as they have always had a positive relationship. He declines to look at you while you ask him about thoughts of suicide. He does not wish for you to have any discussions with his family.

Scenario B Tracey is a 35 year old woman who presents for assessment to the Emergency Mental Health Community Team. She is six months pregnant with her third child. Her other children, to her ex-partner, are aged three and five. Tracey is in a heterosexual relationship with her partner of one year, Peter. Peter moved in to live with Tracey and her children eight months ago. The childrens father is distressed about Peter moving in to live with his children. There is verbal hostility between Tracey and her ex- partner each time he visits to collect the children for a weekend visit. Her ex- partner frequently states he is making arrangements for court to have full time care of the children. Tracey and her current partner, Peter, are in $35,000 uncontrolled debt after a recent new joint business venture failed. A finance company calls weekly requesting payment. Tracey and her partner stopped making the mortgage repayments three months ago, with the belief that dealing with the uncontrolled debt would be a better option. Her parents are supportive but live in Queensland. Tracey is able to have face to face contact with them once a year. She does chat with her parents over telephone every week if possible. Tracey states she is worried about how she will cope with her two children and new baby. She reports low mood, weekly panic attacks and fleeting thoughts of suicide. During your meeting with Tracey, you note she is fidgety and restless, breathing rapidly, shaking slightly, sweating and tearful. She is not wishing to actively engage with the mental health services, for fear it will impact on her having care of her children, stating she will visit her General Practitioner (GP).

Observation and Assessment Case Scenario

Observation and Assessment Case Scenario.

Kaplan University

Psychology / Applied Behavior Analysis

CE300: Observation and Assessment in Early Childhood

 

==============================================

Case Scenario

 

Emily is an 14-month-old toddler developing typically. She attends a for-profit childcare center full-time. Emily’s parents are divorced and she lives half-time with each parent. She has two older brothers, ages 6 and 10. Emily’s father is a plumber and her mother is a cashier at a local grocery store. Emily has begun biting other children at the childcare center. You have just been assigned to act as the lead educator in her classroom. The assistant is concerned about Emily’s biting and so are some of the parents of the other children, as she has left bite marks on two children, though the skin was not broken. During your first day in the classroom, you observe the following:

 

Emily is playing alone with a doll. Janesta, who is 17 months old, walks over to Emily and takes the doll Emily was playing with. Emily then bites Janesta on the arm. You swiftly pick Emily up and tell her, “We don’t bite,” and hold her in your lap for a few minutes. Then she runs to play with blocks.

 

Later in the day, you witness Emily walk up to a boy in the class and bite him on the shoulder, without any apparent provocation. The assistant quickly picks Emily up and moves her to the reading area and reads her a book. Emily stays there for 10 minutes, quietly turning pages.

—————————-

Part 1:ABC Analysis Chart

 

You will use the case scenario above to develop a hypothesis as to what is the likely function of the behavior. Be sure to use your Unit 6 resources on Functional Behavior Assessment to assist you in filling out the ABC chart template in DocSharing.

 

A=Antecedent. What happened immediately before the behavior? Was there any event or activity that preceded the behavior?

 

B=Behavior. The behavior should be defined in observable, objective terms.

 

C=Consequence. What happened immediately following the behavior?

 

Function of behavior = this is your hypothesis. Using what you have learned about behavior, what is the most likely function? Is the child trying to get something, and if so, what? This could be tangibles such as access to a toy, a preferred activity or even attention. Is the child trying to escape from something, and if so, what? This could be escape from an unwanted task such as cleaning up toys.

 

———————–

Part 2:Behavior Change Chart

 

For Part 2, using your hypothesis and the information from your ABC chart, fill out the template (Blank Unit 6 ABC Chart Template.doc) and manipulate variables to determine if your hypothesis is correct in order to pick the best course of action to take with Emily. You can only manipulate one variable at a time in order to determine what would be most effective in modifying Emily’s behavior. First you will manipulate the antecedent. When you changed the antecedent (A), what do you predict will happen and why? If you do not get the desired behavior change (B), then you need to try manipulating another variable. In this case, you will then manipulate the consequence (C). What do you predict will happen with the behavior (B) and why?

Problem Based Scenario

 

Jim: So yeah, Sara, this client being a disabled cross dresser. Wow. That was even a new one for me.

 

Oh but get this. So this one client, Susan, has all sorts of anxieties and one of them is test anxiety. I have this test I need to give her and she is just beside herself about taking it. She keeps asking all these questions about it. She seems genuinely fearful about not doing well.

 

Sara: From what you have told me about her, the test really should not be that big of a deal. But I could see where this anxiety piece would present a problem for her.

 

Jim: Well, she says her disability gives her a disadvantage on tests, but this test has shown to not be biased to her disability. I have read a number of studies that show that appropriate preparation can overcome test anxiety, so, to help her out with her anxiety, I decided to give her a copy of the test to take home and review before it is administered. That seemed to relieve her anxiety.

 

Sara: Uh huh. I bet that helped her out a lot. Do you not wish you could do that with all your clients?

 

Jim: Of course. What I could not tell her was that it is a license protected psychological test, and lending it out like that is not allowed.

 

Sara: Is she not a very religions person? I thought I saw her in the waiting room one day reading something…

 

Jim: Oh, she is super religious and plays everything by the book, so to speak. Really a goody two shoes, you know? She never would have taken the copy of the test if she knew it was not allowed. She just would have freaked out even more and then her anxiety would have gone through the roof.

 

Sara: I do not blame you for not telling her. You are such a nice guy and you want to help everyone.

 

Jim: Say, this coming weekend, Bob is going to some conference out of town. How about you come over and we can pick up where we left off? Maybe you can pack that enticing lingerie I like so much this time, huh?

 

Observer: Is this not something. I just got hired to work for this psychology services organization that is owned and run by Jim and Bob, a married, same sex couple. What just unfolded was a scene in which I happened to overhear a conversation between Jim and his secretary, Sara. There sure does appear to be something going on between these two. Do you not agree? I thought Jim was gay. And, he is married!

 

Sara: Oh you are naughty one! So, can I have Friday off then, boss? I think I have to do some shopping.

 

Observer: I cannot believe what I just overheard. That psychologist, Jim, is supposed to be a professional. But with this kind of behavior… it seems to me that there are a whole host of ethical problems going on here in this office. I cannnot believe he and his secretary carry on this way about their clients, even if they are trying to help. Do I say anything? To who? He is the boss and so is his partner who hired me. I just started working here.
