Several issues that the patient describes at his initial visit involve ethical judgments for the treatment provider. Which of the following clinician behaviors is NOT an appropriate response to the patient’s account of his moral concerns?

/in /by

Case 1

During a combat deployment, a 47-year-old Army reservist engages in hostile fire while on patrol and fires back, only to learn afterward that one of the combatants who was shot and died appears to be a young boy. Upon return from the war zone several months later, the patient struggles when interacting with others, especially when being recognized by civilians as a “hero” for his military service. The patient now has guilt, shame, anger, irritability, intrusive thoughts, and nightmares. He is angry at his unit leadership for putting him in this position and presents to the clinic for your assistance.

1.1: Several issues that the patient describes at his initial visit involve ethical judgments for the treatment provider. Which of the following clinician behaviors is NOT an appropriate response to the patient’s account of his moral concerns?
A. Maintain a neutral position and attempt not to take sides with any interpretation.
B. As part of building a therapeutic alliance, agree with the patient that his commanding officer may have made a mistake and add that all people some- times make mistakes.
C. Over the course of treatment, perhaps at a later point, consider mentioning the possibility that his commander likely did not intend to put him in a morally difficult situation.
D. Initiate pharmacotherapy and recommend not exploring this set of issues until his anger symptoms are under better control.
E. Validate the patient’s experience of suffering.

1.2: Like others throughout society, providers may choose to use a variety of words to describe death. Do you ask him about when he had to “kill” versus “take out” versus “eliminate” the adversary? Do you alter the experience by referring to it as “when you had to protect your friends . . .”? What are the main ethical principles that guide your choice of words while working therapeutically with the patient?
A. Veracity and justice
B. Beneficence and nonmaleficence
C. Justice and autonomy
D. Confidentiality and veracity
E. Nonmaleficence and autonomy

E-Commerce and Micropayments

This week your rotation assignment takes you to the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

An external audit of the company’s financial operations has just been completed. Last week, an “early look” copy of the audit was sent to the CFO with a request for a formal written response for each of the findings. Some of the problem areas were known to the CFO’s staff and they were already working on the required responses. But, there is one set of findings that came as a complete surprise — Shadow IT — the unauthorized / unapproved use of cashless payment technologies by certain locations and offices within the company. These technologies included:

  1. Micro payments using a payment card issued by guest services to hotel guests and via unattended vending machines to visitors. These payment cards are loaded with a cash value deposited to the card’s account via a credit card charge. Guest services also credits some of these payment card accounts with “reward dollars” for guests who belong to the hotel’s affinity program. The payment cards are used at service locations which do not have a cashier station. e.g. game arcade, self-service laundry or sales kiosk, etc. The payments are processed by a third party service provider which then uses an electronic funds transfer to pay the hotel its share of the income.
  2. Mobile Payments for services booked through the concierge desk with an authorized but independent provider (not a hotel employee). These services include: private lessons with a tennis or golf pro, childcare, tours and tour guides, interpreters, etc. These payments are made by cell phone either as a mobile payment using a contactless payment system such as Apple Pay or by swiping a credit card through a magnetic stripe reader connected to the provider’s cell phone. The payment accounts which receive the guests’ payments are connected to the hotel’s merchant card accounts. The hotel pays the providers monthly via electronic deposit and issues an IRS Form 1099 to record the income.

The CFO must make a presentation to the IT Governance board about these payment systems as a first step towards either getting approval for continued use or issuing a “cease and desist” directive to force the rogue offices and locations to stop using the unapproved payment systems. The presentation must include information about known or suspected compliance issues for PCI-DSS. The IT Governance board has previously asked project sponsors for information about potential privacy and security issues.

Due to the size and complexity of the problem, the CFO has split the available staff into two teams. Team #1 will focus on the micro payment cards. Team #2 will focus on the mobile payment systems. You have been asked to join one of these two teams and assist with their research. (Note: you *must* pick one and only one of the two technologies to focus on for your discussion paper this week.)

Your team leader has asked you to read the provided background information and then put together a 2 page summary of the important points from your readings. You have also been asked to help identify and describe / explain 5 or more privacy and security issues that could arise in conjunction with the use of the technology being studied by your team. Remember to keep your focus on the financial aspects of the technology implementation since you are contributing to the CFO’s effort. (Financial aspects include how payments are made, what types of information are exchanged and with whom, how that information is protected, etc.)

Provide in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your summary paper (APA format recommended).

Classroom-Management Models Comparison, Expectations, and Analysis

Exam Content

Classroom management will be a major factor in your success as a teacher, and it will likely be one of the biggest challenges you may face. Therefore, it will be vital for you to understand the different models and theories behind classroom management and to get to know your students to develop a learning environment that is suitable to their learning needs.

In Week 1, you began defining your classroom-management philosophy, which set the foundation for your beliefs about behavior and discipline. For this summative assessment, you will compare different classroom-management models and begin to establish classroom expectations and procedures, while factoring in potential student diversities (e.g., cultural backgrounds, experiences, language, developmental levels, and skills).

 

Scenario
Imagine you are preparing for your first semester teaching at an elementary school in your home district. You will be teaching a sixth-grade class, and you were assigned a homeroom. You understand that classroom management is one of the biggest challenges for a new teacher, and you are planning ahead of time how you will apply what you have learned about enforcing desired behavior and establishing rules and procedures with students.

 

Assessment Deliverable

Part 1: Classroom-Management Models Visual Organizer
Research various classroom-management models.

 

Create a visual organizer (e.g., Venn diagram, chart) in which you compare at least 2 different classroom-management models. Include the following for each classroom-management model:

Name and description of the classroom-management model
Theory or theorist associated with the classroom-management model
How each classroom-management model functions in the classroom
How each classroom-management model promotes appropriate behavior and a positive learning environment

Part 2: Classroom Routines and Procedures Table
Create a table that lists routines and procedures that your sixth-grade students from the scenario will be expected to follow in your classroom. Include the following routines and procedures:

Entering and exiting the classroom
Turning in assignments (physically and electronically)
Obtaining materials (physically and electronically)
Going to the restroom
Getting out of their seat
Checking devices in and out

Include the following information/columns in your table for each routine or procedure:

Steps for accomplishing the routine or procedure
Consequences for not following the routine or procedure
Method for teaching the routine or procedure

Consider the roles that students’ diverse cultural backgrounds, experiences, language, developmental levels, and skills might have on your plan as you formulate your responses.

 

Part 3: Analysis of Routines/Procedures
​​​​​​​Choose 2 of the routines or procedures listed in your Part 2 table that you believe are most important and write a 260- to 350-word analysis in which you address the following questions:

Why are these routines or procedures critical to your success in the classroom?
What classroom-management model(s) do these routines and procedures follow?
How will these routines or procedures promote student engagement?
From legal and ethical standpoints, why is it important to have routines and procedures in place?
How did you consider students’ diversity, such as language, abilities, and skills, when creating and communicating expectations?
What impact do preparation and instructional planning have on whether students follow these routines and procedures?

Cite 3 to 5 references to support your assessment and format your citations and references according to APA guidelines.

 

Submit your comparison visual organizer, expectations table, and expectations analysis.

DISCUSSION ESSAY

At a time when all actors are questioning their health system, its organization and its performance, whose disastrous repercussions became apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic, reinforcing services while reducing costs is a major issue within our hospital structures.
In this respect, it is becoming essential for many reasons – organizational complexity, multiplicity of actors, waste of resources, lack of shared vision – to implement an innovative approach to improve patient outcomes at lower cost.
In response to this contradiction, a movement of recent reforms and research is moving toward the implementation of a value-based model of care. This model provides an answer to the complex problems facing healthcare systems today.
Given that the Covid 19 pandemic has rekindled a sense of urgency among Moroccans for profound reform, it is worth asking to what extent the adoption of the VBHC approach could provide an innovative framework for successful health system reform?

Paper 1:
Through a literature review (PRISMA) we will try to identify the origins and facilitating factors, as well as the challenges and opportunities, regarding the implementation of this model in the Moroccan context.

Paper 2 : (if satisfied with the first scientific article)
Could VBHC provide an innovative framework for successful health system reform?
In search of a consensus among experts, we will try to examine Morocco’s capacity to achieve such transferability using the Delphi method, and finally propose a research model through lessons learned.
