Diversity that staff should follow

Diversity that staff should follow

Science

Part 2: In 2-3 short paragraphs, discuss how you might educate a patient about proper management of infectious materials at home, emphasizing the importance of frequent and consistent hand washing. Be sure to discuss the infectious material in your discussion.

Part 3: Working with Culturally Diverse Patients Mr. Jamaal has recently immigrated from the Middle East to live with his son and daughter-in-law. The Jamaal family are now established patients that are seeking treatment at the medical practice you work at as a Medical Assistant. They have been seeking care at your facility for the past six months. You have noticed that they continually arrive late for all of their appointments to date. They arrive late again for Mr. Jamaal’s appointment today and seem reluctant to answer many of the screening questions asked. Also, it is observed that Mr. Jamaal allows his son to speak for him more of the visit. Based on some preliminary testing that was conducted at the last visit two weeks ago, Dr. Smith is concerned that Mr. Jamaal may have cancer, but must order additional diagnostic testing to confirm his suspicions.

Based on this scenario, what information should the medical staff be aware of to assist in effectively interacting with the patient? Are there specific guidelines related to multicultural background and diversity that staff should follow? If so, what may this be?

Develop three written arguments in support of your thesis

Develop three written arguments in support of your thesis

Science

For your course project, you will write a short paper on a specific topic or problem dealing with a subject from the natural sciences.

In this assignment, you will prepare arguments in support of and in opposition to your topic. If you have difficulties in formulating arguments, please contact your instructor for guidance.

In this assignment, complete the following:

Develop three written arguments in support of your thesis.

Develop three written arguments in opposition to your thesis.

Be sure to include the following:

Support your arguments with reasons and scholarly references.

Provide evidence from your textbook or an external reference to support your arguments. The external reference can be from a reliable source on the Internet or a book/journal article from the Argosy University Online Library.

Each written argument should be at least a paragraph in length.

Note: These arguments cannot be statements of your own opinions. They must be supported by scholarly references.

What are the criteria that the supreme court has develop

What are the criteria that the supreme court has develop

Science

In responding to PART I below your CONCLUSION (that is prediction of what outcome the Supreme Court would reach) is virtually irrelevant. Instead you should focus on two kinds of concerns:

(1) what are the criteria that the Supreme Court has developed for responding to the problem set forth and

(2) how do those criteria fit the mission of the Supreme Court specifically, and the judicial branch generally under the Madison’s, Marshall’s and Hamilton’s (“Framers'”) visions of government?

The instructions about essay writing from the first two exercises again are modified to fit THIS assignment. Question 3 requires you to “brief” Supreme Court opinions and there are special instructions in that prompt to guide your formatting. The prompt for Questions 1 & 2 require responses that will almost certainly be longer than 7 paragraphs. Nonetheless you should write short sentences with active voice verbs and strive to write tightly organized paragraphs. The best papers will have first and last paragraphs that introduce and summarize your analysis.

The “middle paragraphs” should be the essence of your analysis. One sentence (generally the last one) in each of the middle paragraphs should either be in bold or underlined to emphasize the main point of the paragraph. You should write those “main point” sentences first. Then build your middle paragraphs around each of them. Finally after you complete the middle paragraphs, draft your first and last paragraphs, to provide structure for the middle paragraphs.
No paragraph should be longer than 6 sentences. Most will be around four sentences. Most sentences should be no longer than 8 words.

The exercise requires no research. Since the problems are largely fictional and hypothetical, research would probably be more counterproductive than helpful. It is mandatory for all students. No late papers will be accepted. Keep a copy of your paper in the event your original is misplaced.

1. The Misery State University School of Medicine has an elaborate and nuanced student admission’s policy.

It deemphasizes grades and standardized test scores. It includes such “intangible” factors as life experiences like family background, economic circumstances and race ethnicity and gender of the candidate. The objective of the admissions program is to develop a highly diverse group of medical students who as doctors will be better able to serve the highly diverse population of Misery.

No racial or gender “quotas” are established, but “points” on an admission score sheet are given to candidates who meet some of the diversity goals identified above in the admissions process. Points can be earned by members of specified racial or ethnic groups. And of course those not members of those groups find themselves less competitive in the admissions process.
A. Discuss whether the Misery State’s admissions policies are compatible with the Supreme Court’s 14th Amendment equal protection decisions in culminating in Brown v Board of Education.

B. How does the approach to racial classifications set forth in Brown fit the role for the judiciary set forth by the Hamilton and Marshall? Consider specifically the lessons of Marbury and Dred Scott particularly as applied in situations described above such as Brown and the Misery admissions process?

2 The following is a portion of an email from a college president to her campus community.

You understand that, despite the best efforts and intentions of [my] administration, [that] racist, sexist, and otherwise offensive and abhorrent messages continue to be posted to the Yik Yak social media platform. I would like the entire campus community to be aware that we continue to investigate these actions. While we respect and honor the First Amendment rights of all members of our community, and encourage robust discussion of issues, it is important to note that the First Amendment does not protect speech that consists of true threats, incitement to imminent lawless action, and fighting words-words expressed to incite hatred or violence by the listener. This type of speech, as well as speech that intentionally and maliciously intimidates, ridicules, or humiliates others is also not permissible under the [state University’s] Code of Student Conduct. We will continue to pursue the determination of responsibility for these actions with vigor.

A. Is the president’s analysis of the scope of protected First Amendment expression consistent with that of the US Supreme Court particularly in light of the Alvarez opinion?

B. How does the approach that the Supreme Court has developed for analyzing First Amendment questions fit the role for the judiciary set forth by the Hamilton and Marshall?

What laboratory tests would confirm the diagnosis

What laboratory tests would confirm the diagnosis

Science

A 25-year-old man was admitted to the hospital in mid-June for malaise and shortness of breath of 1 day’s duration. Three days before admission, he had developed sneezing and a runny and stuffy nose. Two days before admission, he developed a nonproductive cough, a headache behind his eyes, a fever, and red blotches on his face. One day before admission, the rash covered most of his face and had spread to his arms and trunk.

Upon questioning, he stated that he had no known tick exposure, that his mother had told him that he had measles as an infant, and that he had never received measles vaccine.

A. Why do you think the patient was asked about tick exposure’?

Physical examination of the patient revealed a temperature of l00°F, a relatively low total white blood cell count, labored breathing, a red face, and an erythcmatous maculopapular rash on his trunk, palms, and extremities. Examination of his mouth revealed several salt-grain~size, raised white spots on his buccal mucosa (the lining of his cheeks).

B. What disease is suggested by the combination of fever, rash, and white spots on the patient’s buccal mucosa?

C. What pathogen causes this disease?

D. What are the white spots called?

E. What laboratory tests would confirm the diagnosis?

Decaffeinated means without caffeine

Decaffeinated means without caffeine

Science

In this week’s lecture, we read about Socrates’ concern for defining undefined terms as the first step in critical thinking.

Choose one of the statements below. Your task is to determine how the term is used to define your chosen example, and whether the definition is by example, by synonym, by an analytical definition. If you experience difficulty in determining which method of definition is being used, describe the difficulty and try to negotiate agreement with other class members. This exercise works best if students do not all choose the first example. If one example has been well discussed, choose a different example to discuss.

And here are the examples:

1. Decaffeinated means without caffeine. Steve Martin is my idea of a successful philosophy major. The Cheyenne perfectly illustrate the sort of Native Americans who were Plains Indians. Data, in our case, are bits of raw information collected from survey forms, which are then put in tabular form and analyzed. Bifocals are glasses with two different prescriptions ground into each lens, making it possible to focus at two different distances from the wearer.
2. Red is the color we perceive when our eyes are struck by light waves of approximately seven angstroms.
