Recent Crime Trends

By Academic Wizard Blog

Recent Crime Trends

In this module, we read about the current crime and policy landscape nationally, in particular, recent crime trends and the growth in all parts of the criminal justice system. The chapter by Mears emphasizes that there is little research to support current policies and, just as importantly, that little is known about the implementation and effects of many of them.

In this week’s discussion, reflect a bit on the assigned reading, and then address this key question: What are the risks of adopting unnecessary, ineffective, or inefficient criminal justice policies? How would you characterize those risks at the national and the local level?

Psychiatric Case Study

By Academic Wizard Blog

Psychiatric Case Study

Present the full complex case study. Include chief complaint; history of present illness; any pertinent past psychiatric, substance use, medical, social, family history; most recent mental status exam; current psychiatric diagnosis including differentials that were ruled out; and plan for treatment and management.

Report normal diagnostic results as the name of the test and “normal” (rather than specific value). Abnormal results should be reported as a specific value.
Be succinct in your presentation, and do not exceed 8 minutes. Specifically address the following for the patient, using your SOAP note as a guide:
- Subjective: What details did the patient provide regarding their chief complaint and symptomology to derive your differential diagnosis?, What is the duration and severity of their symptoms?, How are their symptoms impacting their functioning in life?,
- Objective: What observations did you make during the psychiatric assessment?,
- Assessment: Discuss their mental status examination results. What were your differential diagnoses?, Provide a minimum of three possible diagnoses and why you chose them., List them from highest priority to lowest priority. What was your primary diagnosis, and why? Describe how your primary diagnosis aligns with DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and supported by the patient’s symptoms.
- Plan: In your video, describe your treatment plan using clinical practice guidelines supported by evidence-based practice. Include a discussion on your chosen FDA-approved psychopharmacologic agents and include alternative treatments available and supported by valid research. All treatment choices must have a discussion of your rationale for the choice supported by valid research. What were your follow-up plan and parameters? What referrals would you make or recommend as a result of this treatment session? Psychiatric Case Study
- In your written plan include all the above as well as include one social determinant of health according to the HealthyPeople 2030 (you will need to research) as applied to this case in the realm of psychiatry and mental health. As a future advanced provider, what are one health promotion activity and one patient education consideration for this patient for improving health disparities and inequities in the realm of psychiatry and mental health? Demonstrate your critical thinking.
- Reflection notes: What would you do differently with this patient if you could conduct the session over? If you are able to follow up with your patient, explain whether these interventions were successful and why or why not. If you were not able to conduct a follow up, discuss what your next intervention would be. Psychiatric Case Study

IRBs Case Study

By Academic Wizard Blog

IRBs Case Study

The Case: IRBs in Conflict you are presented with a case, please see below. Review the case and answer the following questions. Your answers can be bulleted.

In your introductory statement include your position on whether or not the IRB should approve the study. (5 points),
What are the ethical issues and points of conflict in this case? (15 points) (limit to 1 paragraph),
Who are the interested parties affected by the issues/conflicts and what are their reasonable expectations?, (5 points) (list and summarize the reasonable expectations)
Depending on on your position on whether or not the IRB should approve the study what would be the probable consequences?, REMEMBER: Consequences can be multifaceted. (10 points) (limit to 1 paragraph),

Researchers in a developing nation in South America (SA) have been studying a hereditary disorder found only in an isolated, indigenous population living deep in the jungle. They now hope they can identify the gene(s) that may be associated with the disorder in order to identify causative factors and to find interventions and targeted therapies. To accomplish this, they will need to collaborate with a qualified US researcher, Dr. Herod I. Tarry. Dr .Tarry is a world-renowned molecular biologist who is utilizing a genomic technology that is not widely available. The SA researchers would send subject blood samples to Dr. Tarry’s U.S. lab for testing. IRBs Case Study

The SA researchers submitted a protocol amendment to the South America Institutional Review Board (SAIRB), which is the IRB of record for the study. The protocol amendment added Dr. Tarry to the study team and added the genomic research. In addition, the SAIRB-approved informed consent form (ICF) was revised to include information about the blood draw for genomic analysis. The SA researchers’ revised protocol and consent form were approved by the SAIRB in compliance with South America’s research regulatory requirements.

Per his institution’s requirements, Dr. Tarry must get approval for his work on the international study from the institution’s IRB (Amazing IRB). Dr. Tarry submits the SAIRB-approved documents in a proposal to the Amazing IRB. Dr. Tarry is asked to present the SA hereditary disorder study at the next convened meeting for Amazing IRB. IRBs Case Study

The Amazing IRB members are not receptive to the proposal, in large part due to the perceived quality of the ICF. The SAIRB-approved ICF is a single-spaced, typed page (about 550 words). It includes a description of the study, the procedures (including the blood draw for genomic analysis), risks, benefits, and confidentiality protections. However, the details are more limited than the Amazing IRB usually sees. IRBs Case Study

While the consent technically meets all the required US regulatory elements for informed consent, the Amazing IRB members feel it is far below US standards for consent documents. Dr. Tarry acknowledges the consent document is not written like consents are in the US. He states he is not consenting subjects for this study and he will not have any contact with them. He points out to the IRB members that the consent document is acceptable by the SA research regulatory standards and he hopes the Amazing IRB will approve the study and the consent as is. In final comments, he notes his role in the research can be very beneficial to the study population and as such it is extremely important for him to participate in the genomic research.

Critical Thinking & Application Prompts

By Academic Wizard Blog

Module 1 Critical Thinking & Application Prompts (Sp25)

Instructions for Critical Thinking & Application Prompts:

Each week, you will be presented with a series of critical thinking and application prompts.

You will be directed to the applicable set of prompts by clicking the “Take the Quiz” button below. Prior to starting this assignment, be sure you have carefully reviewed all of the content referenced on the Learning Materials page (and any other pages associated with the module).

Each prompt is generally worthy of at least 250 words (2 – 3 well-written paragraphs) in response. Be sure to connect with (and informally cite in-text) the applicable readings / videos from the module’s learning materials.

A note on in-text citing and connecting with the learning materials: As a graduate student in a Master of Science degree program it’s very important that you offer perspectives and arguments that are grounded in theory and the scientific literature – NOT personal opinion or anecdotal evidence., I don’t want a works-cited page but I do want you to clearly cite your sources in-text for the various connections you’ll be making between the learning materials and your application thereof., For example one might write, “While I marveled at the uncanny ability of the psychic to tap into my true personality, the Barnum Effect (Aronson, Chapter 2) could have well explained my feelings…” Be sure to use these informal in-text citations to make your arguments and support your perspectives.,

ProTip: You may want to copy the essay questions into a Word doc (or similar) and compose your responses to the worksheet prompts offline., Then you can return to the quiz submission page to “copy and paste” your previously composed responses into the text box associated with each of the prompts., Once you have done that, you can click the “Submit the Quiz” button near the bottom of the screen in order to submit your essay questions for grading. The Critical Thinking & Application essay-based quizzes are set to “single attempt” which means you cannot return to the quiz page to make revisions – so please keep that in mind and only “submit” your quiz when you are satisfied with your work!
