Analyze the impact of the digital age and social influences on eating disorders

Week 8: Feeding and Eating Disorders, Somatic Symptom Disorders, and Other Related DisordersBoth eating disorders and somatic symptom disorders involve a mind-body relationship. However, those living with somatic disorders tend to be highly sensitized to their body experiences in a different way than those with eating disorders. While eating disorders can cause individuals to lose their interoceptive awareness of the body, those with somatic disorders tend to have a magnified awareness, often coupled with preoccupation and a high level of anxiety that is deemed to be excessive to the cause.These spectrums of illness require that social workers take an early-intervention, multidisciplinary, and biopsychosocial approach to treatment to be successful in supporting recovery. Both require knowledge and extensive communication with medical providers and other specialists. That priority for interdisciplinary knowledge and teamwork increases in importance given the mortality rates of eating disorders and the mind-body factors in both.This week you analyze the impact of living with an eating disorder and the problems (nutritional, medical, social, and psychological) in the recovery process. You also consider current societal influences that impact the onset, recognition, and recovery process for eating disorders and somatic symptom disorders.Learning ObjectivesStudents will:Analyze the impact of the digital age and social influences on eating disordersAnalyze biopsychosocial treatment strategies for eating disordersApply advocacy strategies within an interprofessional treatment approachAnalyze treatment strategies for clients with somatization disordersAnalyze challenges with power and privilege during diagnosisLearning ResourcesRequired ReadingsAmerican Psychiatric Association.

These behaviors have drastic impacts on health. In clinical practice, social workers need to know about the resources available to clients living with an eating disorder and be comfortable developing interdisciplinary, individualized treatment plans for recovery that incorporate medical and other specialists.For this Discussion, you focus on guiding clients through treatment and recovery.To prepare:Review the Learning Resources on experiences of living with an eating disorder, as well as social and cultural influences on the disorder.Read the case provided by your instructor for this week’s Discussion.By Day 3Post a 300- to 500-word response in which you address the following:Provide the full DSM-5 diagnosis for the client. Remember, a full diagnosis should include the name of the disorder, ICD-10-CM code, specifiers, severity, and the Z codes (other conditions that may be a focus of clinical attention).Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most recent 12 months.Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis.Explain why it is important to use an interprofessional approach in treatment. Identity specific professionals you would recommend for the team, and describe how you might best utilize or focus their services.Explain how you would use the client’s family to support recovery. Include specific behavioral examples.Select and explain an evidence-based, focused treatment approach that you might use in your part of the overall treatment plan.Explain how culture and diversity influence these disorders. Consider how gender, age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and/or ethnicity/race affect the experience of living with an eating disorder. Note: You do not need to include an APA reference to the DSM-5 in your response. However, your response should clearly be informed by the DSM-5, demonstrating an understanding of the risks and benefits of treatment to the client. You do need to include an APA reference for the treatment approach and any other resources you use to support your response.By Day 6Respond to at least two colleagues who identified a treatment strategy that differs from yours in the following ways:Explain whether you agree or disagree with your colleague’s treatment strategy.Explain additional cultural influences that your colleague should consider when addressing the specific eating disorder they identified.Response 1Francisco Adame WK 8 DiscussionCOLLAPSE(F50.02) Anorexia Nervosa, Binge-eating/purging type(F33.0) Major Depressive Disorder, Mild, With anxious distress(Z56.9) Other Problem Related to EmploymentKaren meet the diagnosis for Anorexia Nervosa, Binge-eating/purging type based on the symptoms of frequent use of laxatives and purging to keep her weight down, has binged several times per month since she was 17 years old, constantly tries to keep her weight down and wants to not struggle with it, and there is lack of recognition of the seriousness of the problem as she says her weigh is monitored to make sure she remains healthy. She is displaying depressive signs and symptoms of depressed mood, anger, irritability, insomnia, and suicide risk is elevated in anorexia nervosa which she’s had ideation. Criteria for Major Depressive Disorder, Mild with anxious distress is met based on depressed mood, feeling of sadness and hopelessness, insomnia, irritability, diminished ability to concentrate, recurrent suicidal ideation without a specific plan or attempt and psychomotor agitations presented as feelings of restlessness. Other problems related to employment as she is having occupation problems in the work environment describing it as a stressful job, difficulty concentrating at work, and altercations with coworkers.The importance of the interprofessional approach in treatment is that her disorder can be addressed alongside a team. It is best practice to have collaborative care for eating disorders as it has become standard practice with the inclusion of nutritional rehabilitation, counseling, medical monitoring with an emphasis on good professional relationships, and open communication to seek common goals (Dejesse, Zelman, 2013). Having the primary care provider, nutritionist as part of the team to consult regarding health can healthier ways a diet can prevent from affecting her phsyciological health. The family can be used as support through the process to encourage healthy eating, model behavior, and help her healthily manage her weight and diet.A treatment approach would be Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – Eating Disorder (CBT-E) which utilizes specific strategies and a flexible series of sequence therapeutic processes to active at both cognitive and behavioral changes, as It modifies thinking rather than direct cognitive restructuring. It identifies the key aspects of the eating disorder and targets them to bring down those supporting aspects for the eating disorder through four defined stages (Murphy, Straebler, Cooper, Fairburn, 2010). This modality is effective for eating disorders compared to others like family-based treatment (Craig, Waine, Wilson, Waller, 2019). Additionally, CBT is effective in reducing depressive thoughts in major depressive disorder. This can be used to change the patters of behaviors regarding her eating disorder but also improve her depressive mood, improving her overall wellbeing in conjunction with other treatments.These disorders are present in culturally and socially diverse populations, Anorexia nervosa is most prevalent in post-industrialized, high-income countries like the Unites States appearing the lowest among Latinos, African Americans, and Asians. MDD has been a higher prevalence in females with a higher suicide attempt rate. (Markey, 2004) mentions family is the mechanism through which the majority of cultural lessons are learned, dietary norms are learned through interactions and eating behaviors are provided meaning. This culturally influenced familial context is defined by parents’ past experiences, traditions, and habits, with different cultural groups maintaining different patterns.Reference:Craig, M., Waine, J., Wilson, S., Waller, G.

She has one sister. She has a bachelors degree inArt History and is employed by ahotel that has an art gallery. She was born and raised in Virginia but left do to a job in Las Vegas and she has been there for a year in a half. Her roommate suggested she go to therapy because something wasn’t right. Her roommate threatened to move out because of Karen’s actions. Karen has been been taking laxatives to keep her weight down since she has been seventeen. Her weight has been an issue with her for quite a long time. It appears that she once was bigger and does not want to get back that size.Karen has been having difficulty concentrating at work. She states that her job has become stressful. Her co worker said something to her and she lost it. Karen reported that she was angry. She reported that she hit everything, holding back from hitting her co worker. Karen reported that she was stressed dealing with her school work and her boyfriend. Karen complained of depression with Insomnia and that she is only sleeping for a few hours each night. Karen admitted to suicidalideation. She didn’t think she would have a future. She denies having history of flashback and nightmares but she feels she has PTSD.Karen uses alcohol periodically but rarely. When Karen was younger her mother stated her personality changed and became stubborn and difficult. She would bite, having temper tantrums and became moody. Karen told the school counselor her mother was abusive toward her. While initiating the meeting with the counselor when she was in school she threw a temper tantrum. Karen was hyperactive and had difficulty in school.I gathered a lot from this case. I feel that a social worker would be needed for Karen. The interprofessionalapproach is needed and required for atypical anorexianervous according to Lewis Nicholls(2016). Being that Karen take laxatives to maintain her wait I would say anutritionist would be needed so Karen is able to take in the right amount of nutrition that she needs. The social worker comes in to play with helping Karen to get healthier eating habits in place while also doing treatment. Family support would be needed since she has had depression and suicidal ideation. Individual therapy with family would be much needed.F50.01 Anorexia NervosaF32.

The illness and the dysfunctional focus and behavior around the illness can assume a central role in the person’s life.Somatic symptom disorders were originally thought of as “hysterical,” without legitimate medical causation, or as hypochondriasis. Though thinking has changed, negative judgments about unfounded illnesses can still be attached to individuals with these disorders. The boundary between medical and emotional problems can be further blurred. In some cases, an individual labeled with one of these illnesses may simply be experiencing a developing medical condition that has not yet been well defined. For all of these reasons, social workers need to take particular care in diagnosing somatic symptom disorders and in providing a fully biopsychosocial and multidisciplinary approach.In this Assignment, you describe what that approach might look like for one client.To prepare:Imagine that Jennifer Brea, whose TEDTalk (TED Conferences, LLC, 2016) you watched, is referred to you for ongoing supportive therapy when her psychiatry consultant decides that she does not have a conversion disorder. Despite the psychiatrist’s opinion, her primary care physician ignores that consult and labels Jennifer with the conversion disorder anyway. Be sure to investigate what the ‘conversion’ diagnosis means when responding.Record your presentation using Personal Capture (record audio, video, and screen). See Kaltura Media Uploader in left-hand navigation menu in course for directions on recording and uploading media.By Day 7Submit a 5-minute recorded PowerPoint (5–7 slides) in which you address the following:Explain in a concise professional manner how you would conduct your first meeting with Jennifer. Identify specific steps you would take to understand her circumstance and needs.Explain how you would proceed with her medical team in terms of advocacy for her as a client believed to have this condition.Explain why you would need to take a biopsychosocial approach to her ongoing care.Explain what social, family, vocational, Internet, and medical supports you would explore to help with her longer-term stabilization.Analyze the controversy in diagnosing a mental disorder based on unexplained physical symptoms. Within your analysis, consider how power and privilege influence who provides the diagnoses and which groups are more likely to be diagnosed with certain disorders. Explain your thoughts on this debate.Support your presentation with research and references to scholarly literature.Include a transcript and/or edit closed captioning in your presentation to ensure your presentation is accessible to colleagues of differing abilities.Submission and Grading Information

Compute a cost-volume-profit analysis. What are the implications of this analysis?

Southern New Hampshire University ACC 207 Final Project Guidelines and RubricOverviewThe final project for this course is the creation of a quantitative analysis with a memo to management.Classifying a company’s costs allows for an in-depth analysis of the impact that changes in output have on revenues, costs, and net income or net loss. A cost­volume-profit (CVP) analysis will be completed in order to determine the breakeven point. Relevant costs will be used to prepare a flexible budget. Additionally, an appropriate costing system should be selected and the choice should be substantiated with reasonable rationale. Finally, a memo should be prepared for management that summarizes the results of the quantitative analysis and makes recommendations for an optimal costing system to be ethically used by key decision makers.The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Four, and Five. The quantitative analysis with a memo to management will be submitted in Module Seven.In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:· Utilize cost behavior and cost analysis to assist decision makers in planning and adding value to the business· Prepare a flexible budget for supporting informed managerial decision making· Interpret variances for determining the optimal costing system to fit an organization’s internal accounting needs· Interpret the role of ethics in cost accounting for determining its impact on decision makingPromptIn this assignment, multiple analyses will be conducted in order to obtain a company’s financial information specific to company costs.MDE manufactures outdoor garden items such as lawn ornaments and bird feeders. MDE uses a standard costing system to set standards for direct materials, labor, and overhead costs. MDE reviews and revises standards as necessary. Recently, budget variances for bird feeders have caused some concern. You, the company’s cost accountant, have been asked to examine the numbers for the product, explain the variances, and suggest ways to improve performance.Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:You will begin by using the MDE Manufacturing Budget (Table I) to analyze costs, contribution margin, and breakeven point for the bird feeder division. You will then analyze the actual costs and complete a cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis to determine how many bird feeders must be sold at the current cost and sales price level to earn a $10,000 profit and how much the sales price would have to increase to earn a $10,000 profit at the same cost and sales volume level. Use Tabs 1 and 2 of the Student Workbook.. ‘I. Costsa) Classify all product and period costs appropriately.b) Compute a cost-volume-profit analysis. What are the implications of this analysis?c) Compute contribution margin per unit and contribution margin ratio.d) Determine the breakeven quantity and the breakeven revenue accurately.e) Determine if the company is breaking even. What are cost-volume-profit analysis implications on short-term planning?Your next step is to use the MDE Manufacturing Budget (Tables I, II, III, IV) to compare the budget and actual costs. Determine where variances occurred and explain why. Use Tabs 3 and 4 of the Student Workbook to present your budgets/variances and Tabs 5 and 6 for all budget/variance calculations.II. Prepare and Performa) What are your fixed costs? Segregate them in the budget model.b) Determine how variable costs change as activity measures change. How can this information be applied?c) Create the budget model, ensuring fixed costs are hard coded into the model (variable costs are stated as a percentage of the relevant activity measures or as a cost per unit of activity measure).d) Add actual activity measures to the model. Make sure all information is added accurately.e) Add the flexible budget calculations to the budget model. Make sure all information is accurate.f) Compare the flexible budget to the actual expenses. What does this inform? Be sure to discuss the following variances:i. Static budget variance, including sales volume and flexible budget variancesii. Price and efficiency variances for direct materials and direct laboriii. Spending and efficiency variances for variable manufacturing overheadg) Determine the aspects of the budgeting process that are in need of improvement. Justify your response.h) Interpret what budget variances represent. Should all variances be investigated?You have also been asked to give management a recommendation on whether the company should switch from process costing to activity-based costing (ABC). This is an exploratory discussion, but management would like to know more about the difference between the two costing systems and if a different costing system might work better for the company.III. Main Costing Systems — Activity-Based Costing vs. Process Costinga) Identify the cost allocation system that would benefit this company most. Justify your response.b) Does this cost allocation system meet management planning and control goals? Explain.c) What are the ethical implications that should be considered with this cost allocation system?d) Describe the ethical implications of direct costs versus indirect costs. What considerations should be made when selecting one of these two?After all of your calculations and research, you are now ready to prepare your report.. ‘IV. Prepare a Memo to Managementa) Summarize your quantitative analysis based on your findings (include answers to all questions in Sections I, II, and III).b) Report the parts of the budgeting process that are in need of improvement. Provide suggestions to improve those parts.c) Report overall improvement recommendations to management. Consider the ethical implications when communicating sensitive information.………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….ACC 207 MDE Manufacturing Budget: Bird Feeder I.

Explain the importance of collaboration and information sharing for businesses.

It is important to understand what information systems are and why they are essential for running and managing a business. It is also important to understand the different systems that support different groups or levels of management. In addition, digital technology and the Internet play a key role in executing major business processes in the enterprise. Also, it is important to understand the ethical, social, and political issues raised by information systems.The case studies below provide you with an opportunity to critically analyze events that are taking place in real-life businesses. This helps to develop your critical thinking and research skills as you research each of these scenarios.For this assignment, review four case studies—two from Chapter 1 and two from Chapter 2. Then, , evaluate the studies and respond to each of the questions below, using both critical thinking and theory as well as supporting documentation.In Chapter 1, read the case study “UPS Competes Globally with Information Technology” on pages 23–24 of the textbook.
