Explain the pathophysiology of mood and anxiety disorders in children and adolescents
Mood and Anxiety Disorders in Children and Adolescents
School and going out with my friends used to be fun, but not anymore. Mom keeps telling me just to go out and have fun, but I don’t see the point of trying. All my friends are better than I am. I keep having these headaches and just feel worthless. I used to get As and Bs in school, but not anymore. I can’t concentrate at school. I would rather be at home sleeping.
—Madison, age 16
Mood and anxiety disorders can be particularly challenging to address in childhood and adolescence for many reasons. Children may not be able to fully express or understand their feelings and behaviors. Parents may misattribute or not recognize signs and symptoms. The symptoms of disorders also vary when present in children as opposed to adults. The PMHNP needs to know how to diagnose these conditions and must understand the importance of integrating medication management strategies with both individual and family therapy to optimize treatment outcomes.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
· Explain signs and symptoms of mood and anxiety disorders in children and adolescents
· Explain the pathophysiology of mood and anxiety disorders in children and adolescents
· Explain diagnosis and treatment methods for mood and anxiety disorders in children and adolescents

Explain the role and purpose of NIMS and ICS.
Instructions
Visit the following URL for additional information on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Incident Management System (NIMS), and the Incident Command System (ICS):
https://www.fema.gov/pdf/emergency/nims/nimsfaqs.pdf
NIMS and ICS play vital roles in emergency management response and resiliency and reactionary-based planning at the local, state, and federal levels. Further, in a chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive (CBRNE) event, both NIMS and ICS must be utilized.
In a two-page reflection paper, complete the following sections:
Part I: Explain the role and purpose of NIMS and ICS. Further, NIMS and ICS can be applied to most emergency incidents that occur to include weapons of mass destruction scenarios involving chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive occurrences.
Part II: Create a table-top exercise incident involving a weapons of mass destruction event that can be administered at a law enforcement agency. Include the following: type of incident, agencies involved, location of incident, roles of agencies, how response should take place, and the role of NIMS and ICS. How is interoperability and resource management applied to your scenario? Finally, reflect on why table-top exercises are important to complete in the criminal justice and homeland security sectors.

Risk Assessment Article Critique
For this assignment, read and reflect on the following article. The article may be located by clicking on the “The CIP Report: September 2014” link on the Past Issues Catalog page:
Mueller, J., & Stewart M. G. (2014, September). A risk Assessment of the FBI’s counterterrorism efforts . The CIP Report, 13(2). https://cip.gmu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/146_The-CIP-Report-September-2014_Risk.pdf
In this article, the authors lay out a simple, back-of-the-envelope approach for evaluating the costs and benefits of counterterrorism spending that uses only four variables: the consequences of a successful attack, the likelihood of a successful attack, the degree to which the security measure reduces risk, and the cost of the security measure. To illustrate this approach, the authors apply it to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assess if its counterterrorism effort reduces the terrorism risk enough to justify its cost.
In your article critique, identify the article premise and supporting points on whether or not the authors’ vulnerability analysis and risk assessment approaches of the FBI’s efforts reduced the terrorism risk enough to justify its cost over a period of time. If so, how? If not, why? The article mentions that the Transportation Security Administration body scanner technology costs about $1.2 billion but does not mention any technology that the FBI is spending its budget on. Do you think this was an oversight or intentional? What new technology is the FBI actually employing? The article also does not address how the FBI is using geographical information systems (GIS) in domestic terror risk assessment and vulnerability analysis. Quickly research how the FBI is using GIS; how could the authors incorporate this information into the article? In addition to the content in the article, discuss two additional technology related recommendations that could be integrated into the author’s findings.
The assignment must be at least 500 words in length. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, including in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed

Which recommendation for setting objectives would you like to adopt as an instructional goal to improve over the duration of this course and why?
Part A-
Setting measurable objectives and using language the students can understand has multiple benefits for the learners. The text provides four recommendations for creating effective objectives: (1) Make learning objectives specific but not restrictive (2) Communicate the objectives to students and parents (3) Connect the learning objectives to previous and future learning and (4) Engage students in setting personal learning objectives. Which of these do you think is most important? Why? Which recommendation for setting objectives would you like to adopt as an instructional goal to improve over the duration of this course and why? Make sure to provide examples from your teaching or personal learning experiences.
Part B-For Assignment 1, you will write a professional growth plan on how you will use the skill of setting objectives for a classroom, district, or group of people that you currently work with or hope to work with in the future. Your objectives must be aligned with the standards you selected in Part 1 of Assignment 1. Adhering to APA guidelines, refer to your text and 1-3 outside resources in this plan. Be sure to cite your sources in the 500- to 600- word professional growth plan. Use these questions to guide your plan:
· Which standards did you choose to work?
· Which objectives did you develop to address these standards (some states list objectives for you)?
· How will I use student-friendly language that clearly reflects the content they will learn and the skills they will acquire?
· How will I ensure that objectives are linked to the Oklahoma Academic Standards (or my state of residence) I have chosen?
· How will I include opportunities to determine students’ existing knowledge and skills?
· In what ways will I reference objectives throughout the lessons?
· How will I post learning objectives, so they are in clear sight of students and parents?
· How will I know students understand the objectives?
· How will I connect activities to the learning objectives?
· How can I help students make connections between current objectives and those of previous lessons, so it is clear how they all fit in the overall course or theme?
· How will I measure my progress as a teacher and the impact on student learning?
Part C-
Professional Growth Plan for Providing Feedback
For Assignment 2, you will continue to practice the skill of reflecting on your practice and write a professional growth plan that you will use to ensure you provide feedback to your students. Adhering to APA guidelines, refer to your text and 1-3 outside resources in this plan. Be sure to cite your sources in the 500- to 600- word professional growth plan. Use these questions to guide your plan:
· How will I be sure to provide feedback in a timely manner?
· How will I develop well-defined rubrics to evaluate students’ work or performance?
· How will I ensure the feedback I provide is specific enough to help students improve on their knowledge and skills, which align with the objectives I’ve chosen?
· How will I know that I am providing corrective feedback, rather than praise for effort?
· How will I help students develop their own feedback and correct their work until it is acceptable?
· How will I measure my progress as a teacher and the impact on student learning?
· Is water with added wetting agents more effective than plain water for the extinction of fire in fibrous materials, such as furnishings?
Instructions
For the final project, you will complete the following instructions.
1. Complete the seventh essay of the scenario-based case study. The essay should be a one- to two-page narrative focusing on arguments that support what the authors discuss in Chapter 13, as well as other research that you conduct related to these concepts. You are to focus on one or two concepts in this unit’s chapters and relate to the fire that now involves several rooms and other apartments. Make sure the points are tangible. The narrative should consist of your evaluation of the textbook and other resources, listing the most compelling evidence or argument.
The questions below may help you to focus your essay on the one or two concepts chosen.
· Is water with added wetting agents more effective than plain water for the extinction of fire in fibrous materials, such as furnishings?
· Should a wetting agent be applied to the ceiling, walls, and floor?
· Should water with wetting agents be used in practical firefighting?
· Does the use of firefighting foam, when combined with other tactics, create a more efficient fire attack?
· Do wetting agents improve water efficiency, (surface tension reduction) when used on structure fires?
2. Complete an abstract, which is a one page well-organized and thoughtful narrative that will be an overall summary of the scenario-based case study course project on the apartment fire. This narrative should expand on what you have learned during the different parts covered in each unit so you can understand issues that exist within the fire behavior and combustion. Place the abstract after the title page followed by each unit’s essay.
3. The Final Project (entire scenario-based case study incorporating professor feedback from previous units) should include the following elements:
. title page;
. a 150-200 word abstract (See this tutorial for help in writing an abstract), which must be the first section of the paper (do not make it all background information; it should clearly state an overview);
. body with each unit’s essay using level one, level two, and level three headings as needed to separate and organize your paper into sections (See this tutorial for help with level headings);
. a one- or two-paragraph conclusion that recaps and summarizes all the essays; and
. a separate references page, listing all references used during the assignment.
As with all the other assignments, use APA guidelines. To supplement your discussion and support your conclusion, you should use information from the CSU Online Library from reputable, reliable sources, such as journal articles, case studies, scholarly papers, and other sources that you feel are pertinent. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations following APA guidelines. You must include all references used in each essay in alphabetical order on the references page.
NOTE: This assignment submission includes a computation of all your essays from Unit I through Unit VII. Your assignment will be graded according to the assigned rubric. By now, you should have corrected any discrepancies before compiling this final project. If you have made the corrections based on your professors’ feedback it will help you submit a quality project, and achieve an overall better review and grade.
