The purpose of this assignment is to implement communication strategies for delivering negative news.

Select one of the following scenarios:

• You have failed a course in your program major and you have been notified by the financial services office that you will be suspended from playing your collegiate sport and you may lose your university scholarship. Draft a professional email notifying your coach of the news.
• You are a sales team manager at GCU and your department has just notified you that a new technology is being implemented in the workplace. This software is a management and time tracking tool that provides an efficient and transparent view of work tasks and current clients. The current software the department is using is being discontinued which will require a manual migration of data from the old system to the new system. This is a very time intensive and challenging migration; it will require change and new training. Draft a professional email to your team notifying them of the news and try to get buy-in for this new technology.
• You are moving on to different professional horizons and you must notify your supervisor that you will be resigning your current job position. The timing is inconvenient as you have been groomed for a management position. Draft a professional email that notifies your supervisor of the news.
• You are a student that recently failed a high stakes assignment due to a misunderstanding. You are disputing the grade you received on the assessment and you have decided to email your professor. Draft a professional email to your instructor.

Write a 100-250 word email responding to the scenario. Your email should have a subject or title line that is consistent with the content of the message. Incorporate the conventions related to delivering negative news by including the following elements: 

• Buffer statement
• Reasons for the situation or decision
• Negative news
• Suitable or desired resolution
• Respectful closing

As a psychiatric nurse practitioner, it is essential for you to have a strong background in foundational neuroscience. In order to diagnose and treat patients, you must not only understand the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders but also how medications for these disorders impact the central nervous system. These concepts of foundational neuroscience can be challenging to understand. Therefore, this Discussion is designed to encourage you to think through these concepts, develop a rationale for your thinking, and deepen your understanding by interacting with your colleagues. 

 

For this Discussion, review the Learning Resources and reflect on the concepts of foundational neuroscience as they might apply to your role as the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in prescribing medications for patients. 

Post a response to each of the following:

1. Explain the agonist-to-antagonist spectrum of action of psychopharmacologic agents, including how partial and inverse agonist functionality may impact the efficacy of psychopharmacologic treatments.
2. Compare and contrast the actions of g couple proteins and ion gated channels.
3. Explain how the role of epigenetics may contribute to pharmacologic action.
4. Explain how this information may impact the way you prescribe medications to patients. Include a specific example of a situation or case with a patient in which the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner must be aware of the medication’s action.

1. What is the Christian concept of the imago Dei? How might it be important to health care, and why is it relevant?

Student response:   Yemisi Abolarinde Re: Topic 2 DQ 1

Imago Dei is the Christian belief that humans were created in the image of God. (White, 2020) Humans depend on health care for preventative measures like vaccinations, medical treatments of diseases, and cures to live longer healthier lives. As nurse’s we choose to care for those sick and dying by offering comfort, educating patients about their illness or disease and providing support while they go through their treatments. In health care, patients are seen as another human being who deserves dignity and compassion as they too are created in the image of God and our worth is connected to God. How we treat and care for people indicates our value of God. Those called as nurses can praise God through their hands, bodies, minds, hearts, and spirit, and will make decisions that may decide life and death. (White, 2020)
When caring for a patient, it makes a difference what a physician believes. If they see a patient as having an eternal soul, then they will incorporate spirituality in their treatment, treating the body and the mind. If they see the patient as only a physical body, treatment will include treating only the body. Also, in being created in God’s image, it is important for us to do good, and help all of God’s creations. One way we can do that in the health care field is in taking care of our patients. When we are taking care of our patients and working on healing and overall wellness, we are caring for other humans who were likewise created in God’s image. In doing this, we are doing good and fulfilling our purpose in honoring God.
