Despite increased abilities across developmental realms, including the maturation of pain systems involving self-regulation and the coordination of affect and cognition, the transition to young adulthood is accompanied by higher rates of mortality, greater engagement in health-damaging behaviors, and an increase in chronic conditions.  Rates of motor vehicle fatality and homicide peak during young adulthood, as do mental health problems, substance abuse, unintentional pregnancies, and sexually transmitted infections.   Describe how the advanced practice nurse can play a role in improving the health of young adults through preventive screening and intervention.

Using a real-life example, either someone personally known to you or someone that you read about in the news, discuss the following: How rehabilitation programs can provide offenders with the advantages commonly associated with reform efforts How rehabilitation programs can fail and what could be done differently to better help offender rehabilitation efforts

 
In a 1985 issue of Texas Monthly, Dick Reavis discussed How They Ruined Our Prisons at great lengths. Specifically, he discussed the conditions of American prisons in general and, more specifically, the conditions of the Texas prison system. In this, he acknowledged that the prison system wasn’t ideal and that it made little, if any, effort at rehabilitating convicted offenders. However, in the same breath, he argued that it is not the State’s responsibility (and in particular, the responsibility of taxpaying citizens) to finance rehabilitation programs.
After reading the article, please discuss your opinion of offender rehabilitation programs.

Using a real-life example, either someone personally known to you or someone that you read about in the news, discuss the following:

How rehabilitation programs can provide offenders with the advantages commonly associated with reform efforts
How rehabilitation programs can fail and what could be done differently to better help offender rehabilitation efforts

A colleague from another country has limited English-speaking skills and does not comprehend the group task. Additionally, this colleague has the habit of giving gifts to business associates at the end of projects. Gift-giving is an expected part of business etiquette in her culture. How do you deal with these issues to ensure the success of the group? What criteria would you set early on in the process?

 
For the initial post, address one (1) of the following:

Scenario 1: A colleague from another country has limited English-speaking skills and does not comprehend the group task. Additionally, this colleague has the habit of giving gifts to business associates at the end of projects. Gift-giving is an expected part of business etiquette in her culture. How do you deal with these issues to ensure the success of the group? What criteria would you set early on in the process? Please reference the textbook and an outside source as you attend to the questions for this scenario.
Scenario 2: Your manager asks you to take on a new project that you think you could take on by yourself. He suggests that you form a task group with 15-20 members, which you think is too much. One of the members he recommends adding to the team is John. This gives you additional concern because you think John has had hidden agendas in the past. Even though you think you can do this on your own, how is a group decision different from an individual decision? How can you convince your manager that a smaller group would be better? How do you deal with John if your manager insists on him being in the group? Please reference the textbook and an outside source as you attend to the questions for this scenario.
