Assignment: “Captain of the Ship” Project – Depressive Disorder
As nurse practitioners strive to achieve full-autonomous practice across the country, it should be noted that many states grant this ability to practice independently to psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners. To that end, you will be engaging in projects this semester that assume that you are practicing in a state that allows full-practice authority for NPs, meaning that the PMHNP may be the “captain of the ship” concerning caring for a patient population. The “captain of the ship” is the one who makes referrals to specialists, coordinates care for their patients/clients, and is responsible and accountable for patient/client outcomes overall. This is a decided change from a few decades ago when physicians were the “captain of the ship” and NPs played a peripheral role.
In this Assignment, you will become the “captain of the ship” as you provide treatment recommendations and identify medical management, community support resources, and follow-up plans for a client with a depression disorder.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
- Recommend psychopharmacologic treatments based on therapeutic endpoints for clients with depression disorders
- Recommend psychotherapy based on therapeutic endpoints for clients with depression disorders
- Identify medical management needs for clients with depression disorders
- Identify community support resources for clients with depression disorders
- Recommend follow-up plans for clients with depression disorders
To prepare for this Assignment:
- Select an adult or older adult client with a depressive disorder you have seen in your practicum.
In 3–4 pages, write a treatment plan for your client in which you do the following:
- Describe the HPI and clinical impression for the client.
- Recommend psychopharmacologic treatments and describe specific and therapeutic endpoints for your psychopharmacologic agent. (This should relate to HPI and clinical impression.)
- Recommend psychotherapy choices (individual, family, and group) and specific therapeutic endpoints for your choices.
- Identify medical management needs, including primary care needs, specific to this client.
- Identify community support resources (housing, socioeconomic needs, etc.) and community agencies that are available to assist the client.
- Recommend a plan for follow-up intensity and frequency and collaboration with other providers.

PAULA PLAINTIFF’S REALLY BAD WEEK, PART 1
Paula Plaintiff’s Really Bad Week, Part 1
Introduction
In this assignment, you’ll need to decide whether Paula Plaintiff has any legal claims arising from a series of unfortunate events. After reading the scenario, answer the questions that follow, making sure to fully explain the basis of your decision.
Paula Plaintiff is shopping at her favorite store, Cash Mart. She is looking for a new laptop, but she can’t find one she likes. Then, realizing that she is going to be late for an appointment, she attempts to leave the store, walking very fast. However, before she can leave, she is stopped by a security guard who accuses her of shoplifting. Paula, who has taken nothing, denies any wrong doing. The officer insists and takes Paula to a small room in the back of the store. The guard tells Paula that if she attempts to leave the room she will be arrested and sent to jail. At this point, the guard leaves the room. Paula is scared and waits in the room for over an hour until the manager comes in and apologizes and tells Paula that she is free to go.
About this same time, Geoffrey Golfer is hitting golf balls in his backyard. Geoffrey decides to break out his new driver and hits a golf ball out of his backyard into the Cash Mart parking lot. The golf ball hits Paula Plaintiff on the head and knocks her unconscious just as she is leaving the store.
Instructions
In a 6–10 paragraph paper, answer the following questions:
- What types of legal claims could Paula make against Cash Mart and Geoffrey? Consider the following:
- What are the possible tort claims that Paula can make against Cash Mart? Discuss the elements of the claim and how those elements relate to the facts in the scenario.
- Was Geoffrey negligent when he hit the golf ball that injured Paula? Discuss the elements of negligence and use facts from the scenario to support your decision.
- If Paula files a negligence claim against Geoffrey will she file in civil court or criminal court? Explain the difference between civil court and criminal court.

Early Childhood Education
Jose, age 7, and his mother live in a one-bedroom apartment several blocks from his elementary school. He walks home alone from school most afternoons, lets himself into their apartment, and watches television or plays video games until his mother comes home from work. His favorite after-school snack consists of potato chips and a soda or fruit drink. For dinner, Jose’s mother usually brings something from a local fast food restaurant because she is “too tired to cook.”
Jose’s mother knows that their diet and mostly inactive lifestyle are not healthy for either one of them. She is currently being treated for high blood pressure and Jose’s pediatrician has expressed concern about his continued weight gain. However, Jose’s mother does not see how she can change anything given her work schedule and limited income. She does not own a car and so she must either ride the city bus or rely on a friend to take her to the nearest grocery store. The only neighborhood park that is within walking distance is located in an older section of town. Jose’s mother takes him there on weekends when she has time but does not feel that it is safe for him to go there alone during the week.
Prepare a two-paragraph essay in which you identify the environmental factors that may be contributing to this family’s health problems. Describe five steps that Jose and his mother could begin taking to achieve improved well-being based upon their current situation
Global Energy Analysis
Global Energy Analysis
Worldwide energy consumption varies dramatically, but the impacts are shared by all. The most commonly used fuel sources for energy around the world are fossil fuels: coal, oil, and natural gas. The combustion of fossil fuels releases pollutants into the atmosphere, where the emissions from all countries combine to cause local, regional, and global issues. One of the primary pollutants of concern is carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide emissions are responsible for climate change, and governments around the world have taken steps to control carbon dioxide levels, but not all countries have been successful in reducing carbon emissions.
While all countries produce pollution and emit greenhouse gases, the emission releases are very unequal across the globe. Consider what kinds of factors would determine how much energy is used by a country, a region, a household, or an individual. What factors would influence the fuel choices made by these people and institutions?
For this assignment, you will conduct research to determine the common fuel sources, sources of emissions, and applicable regulations of a country of your choice and create a PowerPoint presentation designed to educate your classmates. The PG Library has created a library resource with references for you to use to start this assignment. You are also welcome to utilize the Reading assignments in your textbook and other credible sources that you find. The PG Library is also available to search other scientifically-based sources to support your assignment. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not considered a reliable resource.
- Define and provide examples of each:
- Fossil fuels, non-renewable energy, and renewable energy.
- Identify a country that uses fossil fuels as its primary source of energy.
- Discuss why the country continues to rely on fossil fuels.
- Provide examples of manufactured products or agriculture that are dependent upon fossil fuel use in that country. Consider the level of industrialization in the country and discuss.
- Discuss impacts of the continued use of fossil fuels:
- Include both local and global impacts.
- Discuss both long- and short-term impacts on:
- The environment, human health, and economy. Be specific and detailed in your discussion.
- Identify at least one regulation or law that the country put in place to reduce or control emissions and/or air pollution.
- What factors were the regulation or law designed to address?
- How effective has this regulation or law been?
- Have emissions or pollution levels decreased?
- What solutions or new regulations would you implement in order to reduce fossil fuel usage in the country you chose? You can look to other countries around the world or the United Nations for examples of energy and emissions regulations.
- Global efforts are being made to reduce fossil fuel usage and pollution. Countries must work together to solve these problems. Review the following references for more information about how countries and individuals can work to combat climate change and bridge cultural differences and answer the following questions.
- Imperial College London. (2020). Countries must work together on CO2 removal to avoid dangerous climate change. ScienceDaily. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/06/200608114710.htm
- TED. (n.d.). Bridging cultural differences. https://www.ted.com/playlists/411/bridging_cultural_differences
- United Nations. (n.d.). Climate action. Sustainable development goals. https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/climate-change/
- Imagine that the country you selected has chosen to work with another country to implement the solution/regulation you recommended in #5 above. What country would they work with on this project and why did you choose that country to partner with?
- Analyze possible cultural differences and diversity concepts that would emerge if you recommended your changes stated above to another country? For example, what language barriers or religious and social differences would you encounter? What other cultural differences might need to be addressed as these two countries work together?
- Describe how countries can bridge cultural differences through strategic partnerships (e.g., a strategic partnership between countries is an Embassy). Include at least two ways that the cultural differences you identified can be addressed.

Extinction
all work must be original and must be done in apa 7th edition and written with ABA terms must follow directions and the 3 pages does not include the title page,reference page, or abstract page.
Extinction
There are various ways that a behavior analyst can reduce unwanted behaviors. Punishment was discussed earlier this quarter, but problem behavior can be decreased through a less aversive procedure called extinction. Extinction withholds reinforcement, rather than adding or removing a consequence. Extinction is another basic principle of behavior, and we explore it during this unit.
For this assignment:
- Write a paper explaining the concept of extinction. Be sure to explain how extinction relates to the presence or absence of reinforcement in your definition. Provide support for your explanation from your textbook.
- Present three real-world, detailed examples of how a behavior may be placed on extinction.
Assignment Requirements
- Written communication: Should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
- APA formatting: References and citations are formatted according to current APA style guidelines.
- Resources: Minimum of 1–2 scholarly or professional resources.
- Length: 2–3 double-spaced pages of content, in addition to the title page and references page.

Did you know? Hardware and Software (DISCUSSION)
Initial Post: Respond to each prompt below.
- Describe one hardware component that are essential to YOU as a consumer. Provide three options (brand, style, etc.) for the component.
- Offer two new or interesting details about hardware and software from the consumer report. Write one question that you have about technology after reading the consumer report.
Example:
1.A hardware that I find very important and that we tend to forget is a printer. Especially the all –in-one printer that we can generally see in most electronic stores. Even though the trend is to go paperless, the majority of us cannot follow it. As a student, I need to print and scan papers few times a week, therefore an all-in-one printer is very essential for me.
Brand:There are too many brands out there that produce an all-in-one printer, but the most popular ones are: Canon, HP, Brother, and Samsung. I personally go with Brother, because compared to the other brands, Brother focuses in producing printers. Canon, HP, and Samsung all produce other electronic products.
Price:I take a quick look on Brother’s Website and an all-in-one printer’s price varies from $79.99 to $599.99. Of course, students or households don’t need to buy an expensive one. The $79.99 one is more than perfect and will last long if well taking care of. Also, many retail store may sell them at a lower price.
Features:An all-in-one printer gives you not only the possibility to print, but also to scan and to fax. Most them can print on different types of paper and also recto-verso. Scanning on these machines can be made by deposing the paper on the top tray or by placing the paper in the glass flatbed inside of the printer. Faxing is not as popular as it was before because of emails, but it can be something useful depending on the situation. To fax, paper has to be placed on the top tray and a phone number has to be entered on the keypad. One important feature that many people forget about is the possibility to connect the printer to Wi-Fi. This option is a must in today’s world because it let’s use print or scan from anywhere and from any device as long as we are connected to the same Wi-Fi. For example, I can print a document from my smartphone or tablet wirelessly.
2.After reading the Consumer Report about the all-in-one printers, I learned that it used a certain type of printing and I found out that an application to let us print from our smartphone or tablet is already downloaded in our devices.
Printing type:There are different types of printing and this product uses a a printing type named “Inkjet”. Inkjet prints paper by deposing droplets of ink on the paper instead of speaking it like other printers. It was interesting to see that this method of printing is very efficient. It takes less time for the ink to dry and it uses less ink than other printing procedures.
App:Imagine that we are reading an interesting article on your tablet and that we decide we want to print it. Normally, we would send the link of the article to our email, open the link from a computer, and then print the article. With the applications Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print already installed in our iOS or Android device, we can simply click on a button and our article gets printed. We don’t need to deal with the struggle of downloading the app or go through a third party application.
Question:After reading the Consumer Report and people reviews, I realized that printers are becoming less used with time. I wonder if it will stay among us or if it will join the floppy dick and the DVD player?
socw6070-wk11D2- Perspectives on Leadership
What is a leader? This may seem like a simple question, but an individual’s response to the question may depend on the individual and his or her situation. Leadership contains elements of personality, personal characteristics, skills, and knowledge. Leadership can be demonstrated within human services organizations as well as in the organizations’ interactions with stakeholders in the community.
As you consider all you have explored about leadership in this course, what new perspectives have you gained regarding this topic? Consider how you might apply your discoveries to your career planning and development.
Post(2 to 3 pages) an analysis of how your personal definition of leadership has changed or expanded since you began this course. Explain at least one significant idea or experience from this course that may be of value in preparing you for a future supervisory or administrative role.
