Writing Assignment #3

Research Report to a Decision-maker

 Assignment Summary

You must write a Research Report on the topic that you introduced in WA #1, the Proposal Memo, and for which you gathered and reported on and reviewed your research sources in WA #2, the Synthesis Literature Review. Your research report is the culmination of the work you have done with WA #1, the Proposal Memo and WA #2, the Synthesis Literature Review. Your Research Report must be at least 2000 words long. In your Research Report, you will do the following for your readers:

  • define a workplace or community (neighborhood)problem persuasively and accurately.
  • propose one or more possible solutions to the problem or issue.
  • present one or more possible solutions to a clearly identified decision-maker (or group of decision-makers) who can implement the recommendation(s) you make for solving the problem or addressing the issue.

How WA #3, the Research Report relates to WA #1, the Proposal Memo and WA #2, the synthesis Literature Review

 In the Proposal Memo you decided upon a suitable topic (a workplace or community problem and one or more possible solutions) and introduced your topic to a decision maker (or group of decision makers). In the Synthesis Literature Review you gathered research sources about your topic, identified themes related to the topic within your sources, and discussed how the sources related to each other in their treatment of the themes you identified (this is synthesis). Now, in the Research Report, you must present an explanation and discussion of your topic’s problem(s) and why the problem(s) need to be addressed – supported by your research – and offer one or more possible solutions – supported by your research. You will now have identified a problem, researched sources to get expert views about the problem(s). and offered one or more solutions to the problem – supported by research. You will have moved from identifying a problem to research the problem and possible solutions to reporting upon your research and findings to a decision maker.

 

What You Must Provide for WA #3, the Research Report

  1. Your report presents a clearly defined workplace or community (neighborhood) problem (supported by research) and offers one or more possible solutions (supported by research).
  2. Your report follows the approved report template/guide and contains all the components required by the assignment instructions.
  3. Your review uses American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition citation style for citing sources within the text of your paper and in providing a reference page.

Searching for a new hire and interviewing potential candidates. When is the candidate good enough? What’s the stopping criteria?

HW# The Hiring Problem Mathematically

The problem. Searching for a new hire and interviewing potential candidates. When is the candidate good enough? What’s the stopping criteria?

Formalize an abstract problem. Let us consider each candidate as an integer, the integer representing a ranking criterion. For example: nine candidates whose rank = {1,3,7,5,8,3,1,9,4}.
This problem would be trivial, just pick the element with maximum value, if it weren’t for two properties.
There is no look-ahead. When I’m selecting any one candidate, you are unable to look forward into the future and consider who you will select in the future. No crystal ball.
There is no undo. If you select a candidate and after a while decide to fire them in a misguided attempt to find someone better, there’s a good chance this person will be unavailable in the future gone working for a competitor.
We can think of it visually as a machine which is fed a tape of integers. It has two actions:
it can either stop; or
it can consider the next integer.

The machine’s objective is to stop on the highest integer.
Real world problem. At the heart of the hiring problem is conflict. Do I reject the current possibility in hopes of landing something better if I keep looking, or do I stick with what I have? Can be applied to almost anything a selection choice decision is required. Take it or leave it?
Solving the hiring problem analytically.
Random selection. Choose the 7th element in the list. No reason just 7th element in the list.
The probability, then, of picking the best element from an integer sequence of length N with this random pick rule is (1 divided by N).
To improve on this random selection strategy, search for a while, gain some insight, determine your options, and then choose the next best element that presents itself. In terms of the hiring problem, such a strategy would be to scan through the first r integers and then choose the first option that is greater than any of the integers in [1,r].

How does this new strategy compare to random selection? The above image is a prop to help understand the discussion that follows. Assume that i, is the greatest integer, occurs at n+1.

In order for this strategy to return the maximum integer, two conditions must hold:
1. The maximum integer cannot be contained in [1,r]. Our strategy is to scan through [1,r], so if the solution is in [1,r], we necessarily lose. This can also be stated as n≥r.
2. Our strategy is going to select the first integer, i, in [r,N] that’s greater than max([1,r]) Given this, there cannot be any integers greater than i that come after i, otherwise the strategy will lose. Alternatively put, the condition max([1,r])==max([1,n]) must be true.

Thus, to calculate the effectiveness of our strategy, we need to know the probability that both of these will hold. For some given n, this is: (r divided by n) multiplied by (1 divided by N). (1 divided by N) is the probability that i occurs at n+1 (remember, this is the probability for some n, not the n), while (r divided by n) is a consequence of the second condition, the probability that the condition max([1,r])==max([1,n]) is true.

To calculate the probability for some r, P®, not for arbitrary n, but for everything, we need to sum over n≥r:

This is a Riemann1 approximation of an integral so we can rewrite it. By letting
Now, we can find the optimal r by solving for P′®=0.
By plugging roptimal back into P® we will find the probability of success.
What The Math Says
Well, the optimal solution is for us to estimate how many people we believe we might reasonably interview in the future, say 20. We plug this into the equation (N divided by e), where N=20, (20 divided by e) ≈7.
This result says that, if we want to maximize our probability of ending up with the best possible candite, we should interview 7 candidates and then, choose the next candidate who is better than all of those candidates.
1 Gary L. Miller. Riemann’s hypothesis and tests for primality. Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 13(3):300–317, 1976.

However, the typical hiring problem maximizes the chances of landing the best candidate and considers all other outcomes equally bad. Most on the choosers are not thinking this way, they want to maximize the probability that they end up with a pretty good candidate. It is not all or nothing.

Maximizing the Probability of a Good Outcome
Fear not, there’s a modification of the hiring problem that maximizes the probability of finding a high-value candidate. Suffice it to say, the strategy is the same except we use a cutoff of √N rather than (N divided by e).

What Sort of Optimal?
At the end of the day, the secretary problem is a mathematical abstraction and fails to take into account much of complexity of, you know, reality.
The solution to the secretary problem suggests that the optimal hiring strategy is to estimate the maximum number of people you are willing to interview, N, and then interview √N people and hire the next person who is better than all of those. In laboratory experiments, people often stop searching too soon when solving searching problems. This suggests that the average person doesn’t search enough candidates prior to choosing.
At the end of the day, the hiring problem is a mathematical abstraction and there is more to finding the “right” candidate than interviewing a certain number of people.

ASSAULTIVE BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT

Scenario One-A

You’re present on the locked adult behavioral unit as a 74 year old male, named John Rowe, admitted for an onset of dementia and to regulate his meds, is in the process of acting out by throwing some chairs against the day room wall. John’s family, including his son and daughter-in-law is also present, along with several staff members, having responded to the commotion of the chairs being thrown at the wall. The nurse in charge informs you that John was supposed to be discharged this afternoon after the doctor had written the order earlier in the day, per the family’s request, but upon arriving, the family now wants to leave John in the hospital 7 more days, stating that they feel he needs more medications to help his behavior at home, as John lives with the family and has been exhibiting delusional and forgetful behavior lately. John’s family also have told the doctor that they would like John to stay another week because they would like to go on their vacation this week and since they care for him full time, this would be the only chance they will get this year to vacation, so they want John to stay another week and have told him that he will be staying now after getting his hopes up the day before.

John has no history of violence prior to this admission and has been fixating on going home, but now that he has found out that he is not going home, he has suddenly become aggressive and unpredictable. After throwing the chairs against the wall, John yells loudly and threateningly at his family, telling them that they can’t keep him there and that he is going to his room to get his bags he’d already packed the day before in anticipation of his discharge. The family is fairly unemotional during the outburst, appearing only to be annoyed and embarrassed over the spectacle. The nurse in charge is trying unsuccessfully to reach John’s doctor and is clearly annoyed over the family’s decision to want John to stay. As John emerges from his room, clearly angry and agitated, the family tries reason with him, but only gets more aggression their way as he yells, waving his suitcase at them before walking toward the door. John begins pounding his fist and kicking the door, screaming and demanding that he be allowed to leave. Staff members and the family attempt to guide him away from the door, but John only yells louder and pushes past them all. He begins pacing around the room, yelling more and starts waving his suitcase around to keep everyone away.

COMPREHENSIVE INTEGRATED PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENT

Some children /adolescents may be more difficult to assess than adults, as they can be less psychologically minded. That is, they have less insight into themselves and their motivations than adults ( although this is not universally true). The PMHNP must also take into consideration the child’s culture and environmental context. Additionally, with children/ adolescents, there are lower rates of neurocognitive disorders superimposed on other clinical conditions, such as depression or anxiety, which create additional diagnostic challenges.

In this Discussion, you review and critique the techniques and methods of a mental health professional as the practitioner completes a comprehensive, integrated psychiatric assessment of an adolescent. You also identify ratify rating scales and treatment options that are specifically appropriate for children/ adolescents.

To prepare:
(a) Review the resources and consider the insights they provide on comprehensive, integrated psychiatric assessment.
(b) Watch the Mental Status Examination B-6 and Simulation Scenario-Adolescent Risk Assessment Videos.
(c) Watch the YMH Boston Vignette 5 video and take notes; you will use this video as the basis for your Discussion post.

Assignment Instruction:
(1) Based on the YMH Boston Vignette 5 video, Post answers to the following questions:
(a) What did the practitioner do well? In what areas can the practitioner improve?
(b) At this point in the clinical interview, do you have any compelling concerns? If so, what are they?
(c) What would be your next question, and why?

Then, address the following. Your answers to these prompts do not have to be tailored to the patient in the YMH Boston Video.
(1) Explain why a thorough psychiatric assessment of a child/adolescent is important.
(2) Describe two different symptom rating scales that would be appropriate to use during the psychiatric assessment of a child/ adolescent .
(3) Describe two psychiatric treatment options for children and adolescents that may not be used when treating adults.
(4) Explain the role parents/ guardians play in assessment.
(5) Support your response with at least THREE peer-reviewed, evidence-based sources and explain why each of your supporting sources is considered scholarly. Attach the PDFs of your resources. Provide at least three references and answer all parts of the discussion questions with reflective analysis with no grammar or spelling errors.
(6) Respond to at least Two of your classmates’ posts by offering additional insights or alternative perspectives on their analysis of the video, other rating scales that may be used with children, or other treatment options for children not yet mentioned. Be specific and provide a rationale with evidence. Please provide two references each for the classmate’s response.
