ASSIGNMENT INTRODUCTION
Case Study:The girls have been known to the Ruskin Vale Children’s Services for over 3 years. Amy is 13. She has been in and out of care since she was 10. Her mother died when she was nine. She lives with her father, Dave and her younger sister Maisie aged 11. Dave and Amy have a very difficult relationship and often argue. Dave says that he loves Amy but he cannot handle her anger and aggression. He feels that she does not respect his authority and that she will lead her younger sister astray. He wants her to be taken in to care.Within six months of his wife’s death, Dave began a relationship with Laura. Both girls made it clear to their father that they do not like Laura. They refuse to eat the meals that she prepares when she visits and spend most of the time in their rooms.Amy has been ‘bunking off’ school, staying out late and coming home drunk. She has gone missing from home for days at a time. Dave has lost days off work looking for her when she goes missing. He has had to arrange for Maisie to stay with his parents when Amy goes missing. Dave suspects that Amy is having sex with her older boyfriend and taking drugs. He is also concerned that she may not be using contraception.
The family are of black African and Caribbean heritage. The family regularly attended church when Dave’s wife Nina was alive. You are a Step Up to Social Work student and have been asked by your supervisor to produce a report on the Harris family for a strategy meeting to understand the family’s needs and to help them move forward. Your report must be written in the third person. The structure of your report should include the following:Report layout including subsections: • Cover page: ID number, Module title, Topic and word count• Introduction • Task 1 • Task 2 • Task 3 • Conclusion and Recommendations • Reference list• Use of subheadings is accepted• Use of tables to present some information e.g. life stages/lifecycle is accepted
Page 3of 11In support of your discussion, you should use examples and relevant academic literature, appropriately referenced in Harvard format. There is no need for an executive summary or a contents page as this is not a lengthy report.Introduction(10 Marks)Using the case study notes on Amy,you should explain the purpose of your report. You will give the reader a brief outline of the issues that the report will address.Points to consider:•Academic sources to be cited in-text citation using the Harvard referencing system•Proofread your work to eliminate errors in spelling, punctuation and grammar

Page 4of 11
•Identify theories of identity including race/ethnicity/culture
•Discuss Amy’s needs, why it is a need and the consequences of herneeds not being met
•Analyse how Amy’s needs are interrelated and how these needs relate to Amy’s future development.Task 3Apply theories of lifecycle development.(25 Marks)Choose one theory that is relevant to explain the dynamics of the family focusing on Amy. Outline and assess how this theory helps inform the professionals’ discussion for the Strategy meeting.Assessment criteria:
•Knowledge and understanding of one lifecycle development theory•Ability to apply the relevant theory to Amy’s lifecycle
•Ability to consider possible limitations to the lifecycle theory Points to consider:It is important to select one lifecycle development theory that is relevant to Amy’s development. There are numerous theories that can be applied. Any one of the following can be discussed and appliedto Amy’s development. •Bowlby•Piaget•Vygotsky•Maslow•Bandura•Erickson•Freud•Melanie Klein How does the theory explain what has happened to the family and Amy,in particular?What are the flaws/ drawbacks with your chosen theory?Does the theory consider all aspects of Amy’s development?
Discuss how the theory may or may not help professionals at the Strategic meeting in coming to a decision on the future of Amy and her family. Conclusion and Recommendations (10 marks)You are expected to provide a conclusion and make at least one(no more than four)recommendation within your report for the Strategy meeting.Your conclusions are the inferences you have drawn or points that you have made in your discussion.

Explain the likelihood of abuse can be reduced in health and social care settings. – Analyse the impact an accessible complaints procedure can have on reducing incidents of abuse.
Part 1: Propose a relevant nursing practice problem for an evidence-based practice project. Explain why you selected this topic and how it is relevant to advance nursing practice. Include one research article that demonstrates support for the nursing practice problem.
Medical error is a significant phenomenon in nursing practice. More than one million medical errors happen in the USA yearly and have been attributed to 98,000 moralities per year (Man-sour et al., 2020). Later studies by John Hopkins Patient Safety in 2013 highlighted that medical errors have significantly reduced but were relatively high at approximately 250,000 to 440,000 mortality per year, becoming the third leading cause of death (BM, 2016). Medical errors occur across all departments in the Healthcare system. A cross-sectional self-administered questionnaire study highlighted that medical errors arise from wrong diagnoses, bedsores, prescriptions, clumsiness, and hospitalization infections (Mans our et al., 2020). The topic is controversial since the news media is filled with nurses failing to take responsibility and neglecting corrective and preventive actions towards repeating the error. While it’s acceptable to err, practicing nurses fear victimization, consequences, and taking responsibility and their action strikes a significant concern and forms my research problem.

Alterations in the Cardiovascular and Respiratory Systems
11-year-old boy complains of wheezing and difficulty “getting enough air.” Notices it more when he is playing baseball and symptoms improve when exercise activity stops. He says that the symptoms are getting worse and the symptoms are even occurring at rest. Mother says the child is allergic to cat dander and his next-door neighbor in their apartment building recently began sheltering cats for the local humane society. Auscultation demonstrates wheezes on forced expiration throughout all lung fields.
In your Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following
• The cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.
• Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
• How these processes interact to affect the patient.
Keep in mind that APA formatting is required. References should be no older than five years from publication. Let me know if you have any questions.

3-What health promotion activities are often practiced by this group?
4-Describe at least one approach using the three levels of health promotion prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) that is likely to be the most effective in a care plan given the unique needs of the minority group you have selected. Provide an explanation of why it might be the most effective choice.
6-What cultural beliefs or practices must be considered when creating a care plan? What cultural theory or model would be best to support culturally competent health promotion for this population? Why?

Two metaparadigm concepts
Identify one concept from the chapters we are covering in Module 1 that is of particular interest to you.
Research and find a Ted Talk, documentary, video from a new’s source, or a scholarly article that further elaborates on the topic. Aim to find something current, within the last 2 years.
Evaluate and analyze the item you have found using economic terminology and proper sources as needed.
Be sure you are not providing a simple summary of the item. Your job is to put on your economic goggles as I like to say, and extend the analysis of the item to demonstrate your application of our course objectives to the item.
Your response should be 2-3 paragraphs and at least 150 words. You also need to include the link to the item you are analyzing in your response too.
