Using the Mock Counseling Intake Form (either Word, or PDF format) describe your client (age, gender, occupation, family constellation, lifestyle, etc.), what has been happening to him or her that has brought that person to therapy
Instructions
Using the Mock Counseling Intake Form (either Word, or PDF format) describe your client (age, gender, occupation, family constellation, lifestyle, etc.), what has been happening to him or her that has brought that person to therapy, what are the behaviors, symptoms, and diagnosis, what are the client’s strengths, resources, and challenges or weaknesses, etc. Because movies rarely give enough details about any particular character, you will have to do some guessing when filling out the intake form. Based on the movie character and the diagnosis you will be giving them, make your best educated guess about sections not mentioned in the movie. For example, if you will be diagnosing the client with Major Depressive Disorder, but the movie does not give information about family medical history, it is perfectly fine to say the client’s mother and maternal aunt both suffer from Depression. Here is where you will need to use some deductive reasoning to paint a more rounded picture of your fictional client.
Next, contrast TWO recommended, research-based treatment approaches for your fictional client. What does each approach entail? Describe a treatment plan for each of these approaches and “homework” that you might give the client to supplement the work done in session. You will cite and reference at least two high quality, academic, researched-based resources (peer-reviewed journal articles or books published by the ACA or APA) for each treatment strategy so we know what you are basing your treatment strategy on.
Lastly, once you have completed the Mock Counseling Intake Form and Treatment Plan, attach them to a discussion post in Module 7. You may choose any disorder, but must select treatment approaches within the psychosocial category. After you have posted your Case Study Project to this discussion, you must view and respond to at least three other students. In your replies to classmates, assume the role of a participant in group case supervision. Do research on effective approaches to intervention, identify the treatment modality that you believe would be most effective, and make suggestions about possible enhancements or additional considerations to the two treatment plans proposed in your classmate’s initial posting. Your response will be in the usual written format within the discussion.
There is not a minimum word count for the Mock Counseling Intake Form. However, in order to receive full credit, you must go into a significant amount of depth and detail on all sections of the intake form and the treatment plan. Remember, be creative, but also be academic and support your conclusions and treatment strategies with solid academic scholarly resources.
do you believe motivation should be studied only using factors that can be directly observable? Why or why not?
Behaviorists argue that science can only study what is directly observable. This means that scientists could examine how features of the environment impact motivational behaviors (e.g., reinforcement schedules, food deprivation), but they could not examine how internal factors (e.g., thoughts, emotions) impact such behaviors. First, list the potential advantages of only studying motivation using this behaviorist approach. Next, list the potential disadvantages of only studying motivation using this behaviorist approach. Last, indicate your personal opinion—do you believe motivation should be studied only using factors that can be directly observable? Why or why not?
Each initial discussion response must be 300 words or more, not including restatement of questions, and references, in order to receive the full credit. Each initial response must also contain at least 1 formalized APA 7 references.
Does race/sex/gender/class/sexual orientation play a role in who you are?
This 3-4 page Project Assignment picks up the discussion of the self in the week 2 discussion by asking you to further explore the question of who you are. If any of the philosophers we read this session might agree with your view, identify the philosopher and explain their position on the self. If any might disagree, identify and discuss the points of disagreement. Personal experience is particularly relevant to this prompt, so feel free to compare your own ideas/experiences to the philosophical theories from the readings. You might consider the following questions as you develop your response:
Does your essence determine your existence (as in the avocado view), or are you a product of your choices and environment (as in the artichoke view)? Or do you not have a solid, separate self at all (as in the non-Western views of the self)?
Does race/sex/gender/class/sexual orientation play a role in who you are? Is gender identity a fixed biological reality? Why or why not?
Remember to use supporting citations from the textbook and online lectures in correct APA citation.
Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy.
Discussion: Organizational Policies and Practices to Support Healthcare Issues
Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.
For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care?
In this Discussion, you will reflect on a national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the development of polices to address that issue.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module 1.
Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined.

Assignment:
Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples.

What are some of the consequences of having incomplete health data about population?
The reading suggests adding questions about sexual and gender minority identification on large surveys. What are some potential problems that could arise from this tactic? (Hint: Think about issues that arose with the race and ethnicity question on the census)
We have discussed chronic stress in terms of job control, socioeconomic status and income. What is the minority stress model? What are some ways that being a sexual or gender minority can impact chronic stress?
Both women and sexual minorities are underrepresented in biomedical research. What happens when certain identities are left out of research? How does that impact the health of those communities?

Suggest at least five (5) expected business benefits that Especially for You Jewelers company might derive from a new system.
Especially for You Jewelers is a small jewelry company in a college
town. Over the last couple of years, it has experienced a tremendous
increase in its business. However, its financial performance has not
kept pace with its growth. The current system, which is partly manual
and partly automated, doesn’t track accounts receivables sufficiently,
and the company is finding it difficult to determine the reasons why
the receivables are so high. The company runs frequent specials to
attract customers but has no idea whether these efforts are profitable
or if the benefit—if there is one—comes from associated sales.
Especially for You Jewelers wants to increase repeat sales to its
existing customers; thus, it needs to develop a customer database. It
also wants to install a new direct sales and accounting system to help
solve the outlined problems.
The new direct sales and accounting system for Especially for You
Jewelers will be an important element in the growth and success of the
jewelry company. The direct sales portion must track every sale, be
able to link to the inventory system for cost data, and provide a
daily profit and loss report. The customer database must be able to
produce purchase histories to assist management in preparing special
mailings and special sales to existing customers. Detailed credit
balances and aged accounts for each customer would help to solve the
problem with the high balance of accounts receivables. Special notice
letters and credit history reports would help management reduce
accounts receivable.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Suggest at least five (5) expected business benefits that Especially
for You Jewelers company might derive from a new system. Provide a
rationale for your suggestions.
Propose at least five (5) system capabilities for the company. Provide
a rationale for your proposals.
Ascertain the three (3) possible scenarios in this new direct sales
and accounting system.
Using Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia,
develop an activity diagram for each scenario that you have
identified. Note: The graphically depicted solution may not exceed one
(1) page per diagram. Provide a narrative that gives an overview of
your diagram.
Using Microsoft Visio or an open source alternative such as Dia,
complete a fully-developed use case description for each scenario
identified. Note: The graphically depicted solution may not exceed one

detailing the overall vision or plan for the new direct sales and
accounting system. A vision document generally contains:
Introduction
Business needs / requirements
Product / solution overview
Major features
Scope and limitations
Other needs
Use at least three (3) quality resources outside of the suggested
resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do
