Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

• Textbook: Chapter 7,8
• Lesson
• Minimum of 2 scholarly sources in addition to textbook and lesson.

Instructions
While our focus in the lesson this week was on the concepts of conformity and obedience, we also studied group processes and dynamics in our readings for the week. For this assignment, select two specific groups to which you personally belong. This could be a church group, sports team, club, department at work, etc. In a slide presentation, address the following for each of the groups you selected:

• Describe the group (membership, purpose, etc.).
• Define the group roles, emphasizing your own role in that group.
• Describe the group norms.
• Analyze the group dynamics – How does the group communicate? How are decisions made? Who evaluates group members’ performance?
• Evaluate how dissension or conflict are managed within the group.
• Select two social psychology group concepts (for example: cohesion, groupthink, social loafing) and apply them to these two groups, comparing and contrasting how the group norms and dynamics impact how the group behaves.

Writing Requirements (APA format)
As you complete your presentation, be sure to:

• Use speaker’s notes to expand upon the bullet point main ideas on your slides, making references to research and theory with citation.
• Proof your work
• Use visuals (pictures, video, narration, graphs, etc.) to complement the text in your presentation and to reinforce your content.
• Do not just write a paper and copy chunks of it into each slide. Treat this as if you were going to give this presentation live to a group of middle school kids – be relevant, engaging, and focused.

Presentation Requirements (APA format) 

• Length: 8-10 slides (not including title, introduction, and references slides)  
• Font should not be smaller than size 16-point  
• Parenthetical in-text citations included and formatted in APA style

Comprehensive Integrated Psychiatric Assessment

The comprehensive integrated psychiatric assessment of a child or adolescent consists of gathering information from not only the child but from several sources, most notably the family members, caregivers, and the child’s teacher or school counselor. Because of this, the diagnostic assessment becomes more complicated. Issues of confidentiality, privacy, and consent must be addressed. Also, the PMHNP must take into consideration the impact of culture on the child.

In this Discussion, you review and critique the techniques and methods of a mental health professional as he or she completes a comprehensive integrated psychiatric assessment of an adolescent.

Learning Objectives

Students will:

· Evaluate comprehensive integrated psychiatric assessment techniques

· Recommend assessment questions

To Prepare for the Discussion:

· Review the Learning Resources concerning the comprehensive integrated psychiatric assessment.

· Watch the Mental Status Examination video. (See attached video below).

· Watch the two YMH Boston videos. (See attached video below).

Based on the YMH Boston Vignette 4 video, post answers to the following questions:

· What did the practitioner do well?

· In what areas can the practitioner improve?

· At this point in the clinical interview, do you have any compelling concerns? If so, what are they?

· What would be your next question, and why?

 DIS 3

Topic 1  Because of the pain medication, Gladys Gwynn may not be able to speak for herself. Since she has no relatives to help, is it appropriate for Dr. Johnstone to make the decision about surgery for her? Under the circumstances, is it possible that when Gladys moved into Sunny Meadows they had her sign a Health Care Power of Attorney to someone at the facility?

Topic 2  Because the accident happened when Sheri Smith was helping Mrs. Gwynn, do you think Sheri should be held responsible for the accident? Given that Sheri is an employee of Sunny Meadows, should that facility be held responsible?

Topic 3  The recovery time for internal fixation surgery is shorter than that following a total hip replacement. The surgery is also less expensive and has a less strenuous recovery period; however, Mrs. Gwynn probably will not be able to walk again. Given the patient’s condition, and the limited dollars available for health care, which procedure should be performed?

Topic 4  Would you have answered Question 3 differently if Mrs. Gwynn were your mother?

ESSAY

Topic 3  Sandor knows how to handle heavy loads safety; however, the crate may have slipped because he was busy thinking about his daughter’s birthday party and not about his work. Could the responsibility for this accident be considered negligence on Sandor’s part? Do you think Sandor should be held responsible or is blameless in this situation?
