Select an issue in nurse practitioner (NP) practice that is of interest to you and in which you would like to see a practice change occur. Conduct a review of literature to see what is currently known about the topic. In 1-2 paragraphs, describe the scope and relevance of the issue and your recommended change. Provide reference support from at least two outside scholarly sources to support your ideas. Please pick something you can do as a NP in your practice. Please avoid anything that would require a policy or law change, such as full-practice authority.
Describe any changes in the motion of your car in terms of velocity and acceleration.
You are driving a car down a straight highway when you come upon a sudden accident. You slam on your brake to avoid hitting the car in front of you. Describe any changes in the motion of your car in terms of velocity and acceleration. Feel free to embellish your account of values of your own choosing.
- In addition to defining the concepts, you must illustrate them by applying them to an example. Your example must contain substantive details.
- Support the information presented in your initial post with appropriate references.
There are two types of numeric quantities in physics: vectors and scalars. Understanding these two concepts allow you to more successfully describe and understand physical phenomena.
A scalar quantity is a magnitude that describes a measurement or amount. For example, the temperature is a scalar quantity. Temperature is a measurement of the relative hotness or coldness of an object and it doesn’t have a directional dependence. Speed is another example of a scalar quantity as a measurement of how fast an object is moving.
Velocity is a vector composed of both speed and direction (example: car moving 30 mph towards the East). In this course, we will not explore vector algebra. Instead, we will stick with a one-dimensional analysis where the direction is indicated by either (+) or (-). Acceleration is also a vector because it is defined as the time rate of change in velocity. Since velocity is speed and direction, that means acceleration can be a change in speed, a change in direction, or both changes in speed and direction relative to time.
Force is also a vector quantity. Newton’s second law defines force as the product of mass (a scalar) and acceleration (a vector) so the result is a force vector. By definition, a force causes objects to accelerate, so this means that when a force is applied the acceleration can be a change in speed, a change in direction, or a change in both speed and direction.
The acceleration due to gravity at the Earth’s surface is 9.8 m/s^2. It is a vector that points towards the center of the Earth. Weight is a force defined as the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity. That makes weight a vector as well.

Discussion: Comprehensive Integrated Psychiatric Assessment

Many assessment principles are the same for children and adults; however, unlike with adults/older adults, where consent for participation in the assessment comes from the actual client, with children it is the parents or guardians who must make the decision for treatment. Issues of confidentiality, privacy, and consent must be addressed. When working with children, it is not only important to be able to connect with the pediatric patient, but also to be able to collaborate effectively with the caregivers, other family members, teachers, and school counselors/psychologists, all of whom will be able to provide important context and details to aid in your assessment and treatment plans.
Some children/adolescents may be more difficult to assess than adults, as they can be less psychologically minded. That is, they have less insights into themselves and their motivations than adults (although this is not universally true). The PMHNP must also take into consideration the child’s culture and environmental context. Additionally, with children/adolescents, there are lower rates of neurocognitive disorders superimposed on other clinical conditions, such as depression or anxiety, which create additional diagnostic challenges.
In this Discussion, you review and critique the techniques and methods of a mental health professional as the practitioner completes a comprehensive, integrated psychiatric assessment of an adolescent. You also identify rating scales and treatment options that are specifically appropriate for children/adolescents.
To Prepare
· Review the Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide on comprehensive, integrated psychiatric assessment. Watch the Mental Status Examination B-6 and Simulation Scenario-Adolescent Risk Assessment videos.
· Watch the YMH Boston Vignette 5 video and take notes; you will use this video as the basis for your Discussion post.
By Day 3 of Week 1
Based on the YMH Boston Vignette 5 video, post answers to the following questions:
· What did the practitioner do well? In what areas can the practitioner improve?
· At this point in the clinical interview, do you have any compelling concerns? If so, what are they?
· What would be your next question, and why?
Then, address the following. Your answers to these prompts do not have to be tailored to the patient in the YMH Boston video.
· Explain why a thorough psychiatric assessment of a child/adolescent is important.
· Describe two different symptom rating scales that would be appropriate to use during the psychiatric assessment of a child/adolescent.
· Describe two psychiatric treatment options for children and adolescents that may not be used when treating adults.
· Explain the role parents/guardians play in assessment.

Identify the type of energy that is stored (for example, gravitational potential energy, thermal or internal energy, elastic potential energy, kinetic energy, chemical energy, etc).
Research how the system works to convert energy generated at one time for storage and then can be used at a later time to generate electricity for the consumer grid. Heat or Internal Energy Storage–Molten silicon thermal energy storage, molten salt thermal energy storage
- Identify the type of energy that is stored (for example, gravitational potential energy, thermal or internal energy, elastic potential energy, kinetic energy, chemical energy, etc).
- Estimate how much energy can be stored based on example systems in use or proposed. (Note: you might need to learn what some of the common units are for such quantities, such as a kilowatt-hour or kWh, British Thermal Unit, or btu, instead of joules.)
- Identify the pros and cons of the system.
Problems are encountered when the shift of energy production goes from burning fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy, such as wind and solar. The time of peak energy production does not always correspond to the time of peak demand for energy. For example, solar energy can only be generated during the day, when it’s not cloudy. However, a lot of electricity is used at night. Scientists and engineers are working hard to develop a variety of energy storage systems to allow the energy produced at one time to be used to generate electricity at other times.

How is the sound you hear different from someone in a car traveling next to the tracks at the same velocity?
While traveling in the engine of a train, you are given the opportunity to activate the horn. How is the sound you hear different someone near the tracks ahead of your train? How is the sound you hear different from someone in a car traveling next to the tracks at the same velocity?
This week, you will study the relationship between sound and the material in which the sound wave is disseminated. The speed of sound in one material may be greater than in another material due to changes in material properties. For example, a material’s rigidity and/ or density can play a role.
Sound waves and mechanical oscillations are common in many types of phenomena that you encounter daily. Musicians have an understanding of the characteristics of the sounds produced by their instruments, and this could create new ways for them to be creative with their art. Sonograms are used in technology, and ultrasounds are vitally important in medicine. Seismographs and sonar are sound wave-based technology that allows scientists and engineers to study the characteristics of the earth and under the sea. Technology-based on sound waves is used to enhance and improve our lives in many ways that are not obvious. In this unit and discussion, you will explore the science behind sound waves and their applications

Explain how culture, religion, and socioeconomics might influence one’s perspective on the value of psychotherapy treatments.
Discussion: Biological Basis and Ethical/Legal Considerations of Psychotherapy
Many studies have found that psychotherapy is as effective as psychopharmacology in terms of influencing changes in behaviors, symptoms of anxiety, and changes in mental state. Changes influenced by psychopharmacology can be explained by the biological basis of treatments. But how does psychotherapy achieve these changes? Does psychotherapy share common neuronal pathways with psychopharmacology?
Psychotherapy is used with individuals as well as in groups or families. The idea of discussing confidential information with a patient in front of an audience is probably quite foreign to you. However, in group and family therapy, this is precisely what the psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner does. In your role, learning how to provide this type of therapy within the limits of confidentiality is essential.
For this Discussion, you will consider whether psychotherapy also has a biological basis and analyze the ways in which legal and ethical considerations differ in the individual, family, and group therapy settings.
To prepare:
· Review this week’s Learning Resources, reflecting on foundational concepts of psychotherapy, biological and social impacts on psychotherapy, and legal and ethical issues across the modalities (individual, family, and group).
· Search the Walden Library databases for scholarly, peer-reviewed articles that inform and support your academic perspective on these topics.
By Day 3
Post an explanation of whether psychotherapy has a biological basis. Explain how culture, religion, and socioeconomics might influence one’s perspective on the value of psychotherapy treatments. Describe how legal and ethical considerations for group and family therapy differ from those for individual therapy, and explain how these differences might impact your therapeutic approaches for clients in group, individual, and family therapy. Support your rationale with at least three peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources and explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly. Attach the PDFs of your sources.
What are the top three supplier performance dimensions that your organization is most concerned about?
In this assignment, you are going to analyze the supply strategy of an organization. Preferably, you will select the organization where you currently work or one where you previously worked. If this is not possible, you may select a well-known company on which you will be able to gather significant supply chain information.
However, if you need to choose this route, you must communicate with your instructor through email first- explain why you are not able to use your personal work experience, and propose a company on which you will write your paper. Your instructor will let you know how to proceed. You need to do this early in the week so you have time to agree on a company. Failing to do this on time is not an excuse for submitting your assignment late, or using a company without approval.
In order to complete this assignment, you may need to first collect information from your organization. Start this process early in the week so to ensure you have all the information you need.
There are many supply issues that will impact a company’s operation. Supply management professionals must be able to recognize these, evaluate their importance and prioritize them. Based on these priorities they must ensure the right suppliers are selected and managed.
Instructions:
For this assignment, answer the following questions:
1. What are the top three supplier performance dimensions that your organization is most concerned about? You may use table 3.1 for a list of relevant factors. Explain why your company prioritizes each of these. Do you think they are using the right ones?
2. How does your organization manage its relationship with its key suppliers? Is there an established program, is it based on personal connections, or something else? Should they change the way they do this? Explain.
3. How does your organization use forecasting? Explain.
a. What do they forecast and how frequently do they generate new forecasts?
b. Where do they get their data and any issues with data collection?
c. Which methodology do they use?
d. How do they evaluate the performance of their forecasts? Are the error metrics (MAD, MSE, etc.) good? Would you recommend using a different methodology?

| Had France remained at peace, her peaceful citizens, her idle warriors would have observed the [emperor], would have judged him, and would have communicated their judgments to him. Truth would have passed through the ranks of the people. Usurpation* would not have long withstood the influence of truth. Thus [Napoleon] Bonaparte was compelled to distract public attention by [war]. War flung onto distant shores that part of the French nation that still had some real energy. It prompted the police harassment of the timid, whom it could not force abroad. It struck terror into men’s hearts and left there a certain hope that chance would take responsibility for their deliverance: a hope agreeable to fear and convenient to [the current government]. How many times have I heard men who were pressed to resist tyranny postponing this, during wartime till the coming of peace, and in peacetime until war commences!*Note that in this context, “usurpation” means “wrongfully taking power”The Napoleonic Era, Benjamin Constant, excerpt from The Spirit of Conquest and Usurpation, 4th ed.
