DISCUSSION ESSAY

In order to apply knowledge gained in this course to personal experience and assist in future personal and professional development, you are expected to monitor and attempt a health behavior change in this class throughout the four weeks. It is recommended that you track your behavior for the first week and then choose a specific behavior to change.

Identifying a behavior: Identify a behavior change to be attempted for at least three weeks. Behavior change options include, but are not limited to: starting or significantly changing an exercise program, drastically reducing caffeine intake (if you consume caffeine daily), quitting or reducing tobacco use, adhering to a specific diet plan or meeting specific caloric intake goals, etc. Whichever option you choose, it must be approved by the instructor prior to initiating the behavior change program. You will also identify at least one outcome goal and at least three process goals you will use to achieve the behavior change. Identification of your behavior and goal identification was done via a Week 1 Discussion Board thread.

Behavior Change Paper (4-8 pages): The final behavior change paper is an integration of personal experience and knowledge gained from this course. It should include personal successes and struggles throughout the behavior change process, a discussion of at least one theory of behavior change relevant to your personal experience, discussion of other relevant course content as applicable to your personal experience (e.g., personality characteristics, social influence/support, motivation, perceived benefits, etc.), and future intentions to improve or maintain behavior change and anticipated modifications to the behavior change program.

Directions

Briefly describe your overall experience. Address your attitude, motivation, and specific goals at the onset of the program. As an introduction, this section should include why the behavior was chosen for change, and your state of mind as you began this journey. The introduction should be approximately 1 page in length.

Discuss at least one theoretical model of behavior change and its relevance to your behavior change program. Be specific about how this model can be applied to your specific situation (i.e., discuss specific examples that illustrate how the model can be applied to your behavior change journey). Although, highlight persistent barriers and your success/failure at handling them. If you were successful, what contributed to your success (e.g., coping skills)? If you relapsed, what contributed to that? What could you do differently to overcome the barrier(s) in the future? Theory/Course Content integration should be 2-5 pages in length.

Finally, explain your journey; how did it go? Evaluate your success/failure and contributing factors to your success/failure. Also, discuss your intentions for (dis)continued attempts/maintenance of your behavior change. Where do you see yourself 3 months from now? 6 months? A year? Include modifications you would/intend to make to your goals or strategies to make the change permanent.

Summary and future plans should be 1-2 pages in length.

I have included a video at the bottom of this announcement to provide clarification on your case study assignment.

CASE STUDY PEDS/PROCEDURES

A mother brings in her 11 year old son, Branch, because he has had a nosebleed. She is concerned about it because they have been applying pressure by pinching it and the nosebleed won’t stop. He has no history of nosebleeds. He has no significant medical history and no known allergies. He is on no medications. Mom and Branch deny trauma to the nose. He says he just woke up with a nosebleed and it won’t stop. He tells you that the left side is the side that is bleeding.

Vital signs: BP 110/70 P 84 R 14 T 97.8 oral Pulse ox 99%

You recognize that simple pressure is not going to stop the nosebleed so you know that you will not have to intervene.

  1. Prior to any type of procedure, you have the mother sign an informed consent for a procedures. What are the three major areas you must discuss when doing any type of procedure?
  2. Nosebleeds can be divided into three groups. What are they?
  3. 90% of nosebleeds fall into which group?
  4. Name 4 indications for intervention by a provider for a nosebleed.
  5. You place Branch on the exam table at approximately 45 degrees. You drape him appropriately. You have him blow his nose gently to remove clots. You then inspect the right side to familiarize yourself with his anatomy. You then inspect the left side using a nasal speculum. When using the nasal speculum, it is important to use it ______________ (HORIZONTALLY/VERTICALLY).
  6. Why is it important to use the nasal speculum a certain way?
  1. You note that the bleeding is coming from an area on the septum. You know that the next step is to apply a vasconstrictive solution to the nose. What are two ways you can deliver the vasoconstrictive solution?
  2. You note that the area that is the source of the bleeding is about 3 mm in diameter. You make the decision to use a silver nitrate stick. How long should you apply pressure with the stick?
  1. Why it is it important not to use the silver nitrate for over that time frame?
  2. After hemostasis is obtained, what are three types of treatment methods that can be used to protect the cauterization site?
  1. If that had not stopped the bleeding and you had to make the decision to use a nasal sponge or nasal tampon, the sponge/tampon should be coated in _____________ and left in place for __________ hours.
  2. After putting in the nasal sponge/tampon, approximately 2 ml of ________ or _______ should be dripped onto the tip to help the sponge expand.
  3. After placing the nasal sponge/tampon, the patient should be closely monitored for 3-5 minutes. Why is that?
  4. After the close monitoring, the patient should be kept in observation status for ______ minutes.
  5. If a sponge/tampon is used, it is not necessary to use antibiotics.
  6. If it is necessary to pack the nose, it may be advisable to give the patient a narcotic or sedative medication (unless a contraindication exists). Why?
  7. Name 5 complications of the above procedures.
  8. After the procedure, you tell the pt and his mother that he can take acetaminophen for any pain/discomfort. Why is it important not to have him take ibuprofen?

Discussion – Discussion: Evaluating Ekvall’s Dimensions of a Creative Climate

For this assignment, you will investigate metrics for determining success in an innovative organization as well as critical factors that can help identify organizations that will be successful at innovating. You will apply and discuss Göran Ekvall’s method for measuring the creative climate at an organization by examining ten climate dimensions he identified.

Review the creative climate document and then complete the Dimensions of Creative Climate worksheet which assesses Ekvall’s ten dimensions of a creative climate for your current organization; alternatively, you can measure another organization by interviewing one of its employees.

Then, write about your thoughts and address the following in your initial post:

Were you surprised by the inclusion of any of Ekvall’s ten dimensions? Are there any additional dimensions that you think should have been included?
Which dimension of creative climate was the hardest to evaluate?
Share any insights or thoughts about the creative climate for the organization you evaluated. Discuss the one to two dimensions that received the highest and lowest scores.
In addition, upload the following file:

PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

Objective

Part 1:

A coordinated effort is required for incident responders to fully understand the elements of an incident. The number of details involved in analyzing a security incident can be quite Arye.
When responders are required to collect spoffic incident related details from various diverse sources, it can add complexity in determining if a single indicator of compromise has been seen in a previous incident.

Guidelines & Expectations

Part 1:
• Research and explain how an organization can readily track incidents in a large organization.

• Research a current a current event within the last year that demonstrates how an organization can readily track incidents within a large organization.

• Remember to always provide your analysis of the information and how it relates to the topic & Ate your analysis.

NOTE: All current event selections most be different from your peers’. Check below in the discussion arena.

Part 2:
• What are the Pros and Cons of just Blocking suspect traffic?

• What are the Pros and Cons of just monitoring the network traffic during an incident?

• How can you best use a HoneyPot/HoneyNet type of setup to assist your incident response process?
