Week Discussion

While you can find many techniques of sample selection, I favor simple random sampling. This’s identified by Beck and Polit (2016) as a kind of sampling where all topics in the target population have identical chances of selection. The best benefit of this particular kind of sampling would be that the researcher locations higher confidence in the representativeness of the samples just for the common public.

The technique is additionally simple to work with. Flat once the target population has to be split into layers (e.g. by age range, type and sex of disease), random sampling could likewise be worn for organizations. Arbitrary sampling additionally offers samples with little sampling errors (Polit, & Beck, 2012). Therefore, the conclusions drawn out of the information analysed are valid and reliable. The technique additionally allows for the group of information which could be examined utilizing inferential statistics.

In order to choose the amount of components of the public, you are able to utilize the lottery technique, several the numbers and random numbers randomly generated by a laptop application, i.e. arbitrarily. The lottery technique just is effective with little sample populations, it’s not sensible to be used with bigger populations. A good example of utilizing the lottery strategy will be selecting a random test from a team of hundred participants. Most names are positioned in a pot and are removed one by one till they’re big enough for the sample of ours.

As a final review, polish your philosophy of nursing based on your newly acquired knowledge.

Also, write a summary reflection answering the following questions based on the readings and discussions throughout the course: 

• As an art and a science, how has your personal nursing philosophy unfolded?
• Have there been ideas that have challenged your personal values or assumptions?
• Have there been ideas that have caused you personal conflict and may lead to deconstructing those dispositions in a critical manner?
• What actions have you taken that illustrate your personal nursing philosophy?
• Describe your own definition of the concepts involving the meta-paradigm of nursing.
• Has your first written philosophy of nursing changed? In what ways? 

Your paper that includes both your philosophy and reflection together should be 2–3 pages in length, in APA format, typed in Times New Roman with 12-point font, and double-spaced with 1″ margins. If outside sources are used, they must be cited appropriately.

• Develop diagnoses for clients receiving psychotherapy*

• 1. Describe the client (without violating HIPAA regulations) and identify any pertinent history or medical information, including prescribed medications.
• 2. Using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5), explain and justify your diagnosis for this client.
• 3. Explain any legal and/or ethical implications related to counseling this client.
• Support your approach with evidence-based literature.

Respond to at least two of your classmates. Participate in the discussion by asking a question, providing a statement of clarification, providing a point of view with a rationale, challenging an aspect of the discussion, or indicating a relationship between two or more lines of reasoning in the discussion. Complete your participation for this assignment by the end of week.

Discussion Question 2

With a society that is so diverse in its own nature, issues pertaining to cultural diversity are bound to occur in the process of team management and leadership. Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about cultural diversity. Based on your research and understanding, answer the following questions:

• How does having members of different cultures on a team affect the team’s performance?
• How would you incorporate a person from a culture of your choice into your team, keeping in mind communication differences within your and the chosen culture?

Reply to my peers

Peer 1

Having members of different cultures can improve the team’s performance by introducing new perspectives and improving patient care. According to the textbook and the IOM, one skill that allows teams to cooperate effectively is when team members learn about each other’s backgrounds, values, and expertise (Murray, 2017). With a diverse team, members will have a wide range of backgrounds. Understanding each other’s backgrounds improves the group’s cultural competence and strengthens relationships within the group. Having various cultural backgrounds also improves the group’s problem-solving skills, as there are more perspectives and viewpoints to work with. Patient care also improves with better cultural competence because patients are at less risk of falling victim to unequal care due to disparities and stereotyping. 

If I were to incorporate a person from a culture different from mine, for example, someone of Hispanic descent, I would first assess their nursing expertise and background and highlight any skills that would be useful for the team. For example, a team member who speaks Spanish would be particularly useful for communicating with Spanish-speaking patients. Ultimately, I would be sure to incorporate them into the team like any member while keeping in mind any cultural traits that would benefit the team’s performance.

A health system’s commitment to delivering culturally competent care is essential in creating a culture of respect for patients, clinicians and administrative staff (Kumra et al., 2020). Cultural diversity is an essential aspect in a team especially when much focus is on utilizing the strengths of each culture to achieve a team’s set goals.  Unfortunately, there are situations when the cultural differences lead to the isolation of team members, often making it hard for the team to achieve the desired outcome (Kälin, 2017).  When a team is composed of members from different ethnicities, nationalities, and gender backgrounds, there will be diverse solutions to organizational problems that may hinder the team members from performing joint tasks.

Incorporating an individual from a different culture into the team requires acknowledging and respecting cultural differences, getting insight into the strengths of the culture, and how they can be utilized within the team (Cochran et al., 2017). By focusing on the strengths of the culture it will allow for positive facets to be incorporated into the team.  As a team, we would focus on making sure that every team member felt comfortable with each other which would help build team trust.

ay, an 18-year-old high school senior, presents with symptoms of difficulty sleeping and feeling sad, which results in an initial diagnosis of depression. His mother later reports, however, that Jay exhibits symptoms of irritability and risk-taking behaviors. (His little brother reported to his mother that they were driving over 90 miles an hour on the highway.) After further evaluation, Jay’s psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner diagnosed him with bipolar disorder.

Cases like this are not uncommon with bipolar disorder, as initial assessments rarely provides all the information needed. In your role, as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, you must develop strategies for properly assessing and diagnosing these clients because treatments for bipolar disorder are significantly different than treatments for depression or other mood disorders.

This week, as you examine bipolar therapies, you explore the assessment and treatment of clients with bipolar disorder. You also consider ethical and legal implications of these therapies.

 Bipolar disorder is a unique disorder that causes shifts in mood and energy, which results in depression and mania for clients. Proper diagnosis of this disorder is often a challenge for two reasons: 1) clients often present as depressive or manic, but may have both; and 2) many symptoms of bipolar disorder are similar to other disorders. Misdiagnosis is common, making it essential for you to have a deep understanding of the disorder’s pathophysiology. For this Assignment, as you examine the client case study in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat clients presenting with bipolar disorder. 

 

Examine Case Study: An Asian American Woman With Bipolar Disorder. You will be asked to make three decisions concerning the medication to prescribe to this client. Be sure to consider factors that might impact the client’s pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic processes.

At each decision point stop to complete the following:

• Decision #1
  • Which decision did you select?
  • Why did you select this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #1 and the results of the decision. Why were they different?
• Decision #2
  • Why did you select this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #2 and the results of the decision. Why were they different?
• Decision #3
  • Why did you select this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • What were you hoping to achieve by making this decision? Support your response with evidence and references to the Learning Resources.
  • Explain any difference between what you expected to achieve with Decision #3 and the results of the decision. Why were they different?

Also include how ethical considerations might impact your treatment plan and communication with clients.

Note: Support your rationale with a minimum of three academic resources. While you may use the course text to support your rationale, it will not count toward the resource requirement.
