  • “The Power of Persuasion: Utilizing Research and Writing Skills to Effectively Convey a Position” Title: “The Benefits of Implementing Mental Health Education in Schools: A Persuasive Essay for Parents and Educators”

    Competencies
    In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
    Conduct research for specific writing situations
    Integrate qualified evidence from research into one’s own writing
    Articulate an evidence-based position in a written communication
    Overview
    Persuasive essays are a staple of writing. A persuasive essay has multiple goals. One is to demonstrate certain skills like research, proper citation, and critical thinking. These skills benefit us any time we need to take a position on a topic. This could be to present information for a suggested change at work or to help change someone’s mind about a global issue affecting our society. The skills that you will develop in writing your persuasive essay with research are transferable to all aspects of life and career.
    When writing a persuasive essay, a writer must consider multiple communication elements and persuasive writing techniques such as strategically using introductions and conclusions, using a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade an audience, refuting an opposing viewpoint, among others. These elements of writing matter in everything we write, not just in essays. Persuasive essays organize your ideas by stating a thesis, followed by key points backed up by citations from credible sources, and examine diverse perspectives. All the skills that you will develop while working on your persuasive essay with research will help you when trying to persuade someone to consider your perspective.
    Directions
    There are two parts to this assignment: creating a collection of sources and writing a persuasive essay supported by research. For Part One, you will list the sources you will use in your persuasive essay. You will also include a description of each source and other information about your research process. For Part Two, you will write an essay that states your position on a topic, integrates evidence from the sources you listed in Part One to support your key points, and uses different writing techniques to engage and persuade your audience. You will use at least one source from the Project Resources document and two sources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library to support your project.
    Part One: Collection of Sources
    In Part One, you will organize your research in preparation to write a persuasive essay in Part Two. To prepare your collection of sources, revise the assignment you submitted in Module Three using the instructor feedback you received. This part of your project should be about 1 to 2 pages long.
    Specifically, you must address the following:
    State the purpose of your research.
    Consider the purpose of your research in relation to your topic.

  • “Case Study Analysis: Applying a Humanistic Perspective to a Client with Anxiety and Relationship Issues” Exploring the Presenting Problem through the Lens of a Selected Theory: A Multicultural Perspective

    Learning Objectives
    Critically evaluate a case study from a (singular) theoretical model selected from either the psychodynamic or humanistic domains, evidencing an understanding of at least two interventions associated with the model. The case study is to be chosen from any of the MACP Skills Learning Lab, Module 12, Case Study Central.
    Develop an understanding of the elements of a case conceptualization.
    Evidence understanding of the strengths and limitations of the theoretical model from a multicultural perspective.
    Reflect upon how your chosen theoretical model aligns with your personal beliefs about how emotional difficulties develop and what fosters therapeutic change.
    Purpose
    To learn about analyzing a case study from either a psychodynamic or a humanistic theoretical perspective; and develop a case conceptualization that informs the use of at least two therapy interventions from that theoretical model.
    Instructions
    Briefly describe the client case and presenting problem in concise clinical terminology (do not restate the case study word for word – this is a summarized presentation of the client)
    Discuss and apply the theoretical assumptions, principles, and foundations of the selected model to develop the case conceptualization. A case conceptualization, which is informed by the therapy’s theoretical foundation, includes what has contributed to a client’s symptoms, problems in living, maladaptive relational interactions, and what appears to maintain symptoms despite a client’s efforts to move beyond them. In their book, Case Conceptualization: Mastering this Competency with Ease and Confidence, Sperry and Sperry (2020) outlined three components of case conceptualization, including predispositions, protective factors, and perpetuants (pp.41-42).
    Evaluate at least 2 interventions or techniques associated with this theoretical model that could be appropriately applied to the client case. Compose a short example of how these interventions could be applied in session. An example of an intervention, from a relational cyclical patterns approach (CCRT) would be assisting the client to identify problematic themes and patterns in interpersonal interactions across settings. Another would be helping to identify the wishes, needs and intentions they have in interactions with others.
    Report possible limitations of using this model from a multicultural perspective.
    Appraise your personal alignment with the selected model (i.e., how do you align with the theory’s assumptions, principles, or foundational beliefs?). Students can use the first-person writing style in this section.
    Structure
    Required components: Title page, and Reference page.
    Length of Assignment: The text body of paper (i.e., not including references, title page or abstract) should consist of approximately 1500 words, (i.e., __(page range)___ double-spaced typed pages, Times New Roman font size: 12).
    Format: Please, format your assignment in Word (files with extension .doc or .docx), or Rich Text Format (files with extension .rtf).
    References: Minimum five peer-reviewed journal articles. At least three of these articles need to have been published in the last five-to-seven years. Seminal works can be used.
    Template for assignment
    Resources
    Any sources used to support your written narrative should be cited using correct APA format. Although Wikipedia can be a useful starting place to gather very general information no Wikipedia references will be accepted as scholarly citations.
    Use the Yorkville University Library and the EBSCO tool for academic search. It is important to select credible sources for assignments. This resource will assist students in determining which sources are credible: https://myyu.ca/ask/credible-source-guide/

  • “Crimes of the Heart: A Case Study on Infant Cardiac Anatomy and Diagnosis” “Caleb’s Journey: From Persistent Symptoms to a Diagnosis of Ventricular Septal Defect”

    Crimes of the Heart: A Case Study on Cardiac Anatomy
    Tiffaney
    is worried about her newborn son. Ever since she brought Caleb home
    from the hospital it has been so hard to get him to eat and he seems to
    be breathing too hard all the time. She stopped breast-feeding and tried
    every bottle and formula on the market, but nothing has worked. So, at
    his one-month check-up, her stomach is in knots as they place Caleb on
    the scale. The nurse says, “9 pounds, 7 ounces.” Tiffaney realizes Caleb
    has only gained one pound since he was born, and she breaks into tears.
    Dr.
    Baker checks over Caleb in the exam room, taking extra time feeling and
    listening to his chest. During the exam, Tiffaney explains her struggle
    with trying to get her son to eat and how he cries almost the entire
    day. After the exam Dr. Baker says, “When I listen to Caleb’s heart, I
    hear an extra sound called a murmur. I want to use an echocardiogram and
    an ECG to get a good picture of all the parts of his heart.”
    After
    a full day of tests, Tiffaney meets with Dr. Baker in his office. He
    explains, “After a careful review of all the information, I have
    discovered that Caleb has a hole in the heart muscle wall between his
    right and left ventricles. We call it a ventricular septal defect. That
    is probably why he has been so irritable and hard to feed. The hole is
    not very big, but he will still need to have surgery to repair it.”
    Although the thought of her tiny son having surgery is terrifying,
    Tiffaney is relieved to know why things have been so tough at home.
    In your discussion post, you should include:
    a) Main discussion paragraph (one or two paragraphs) and
    b) Reply to at least TWO of your classmates. 
    Important points to include in your Main discussion post.
    Paragraph 1
    Caleb has abnormal heart sounds that tipped the doctor off to a problem.
    Name the normal sounds of the heart and indicate what causes these sounds.
    In relation to the normal heart sounds, when would you expect to hear the abnormal sound Dr. Baker heard? Explain your answer.
    Paragraph 2
    Background.
    Set the scene: background information, relevant facts, and the most
    important issues. … (What made Tiffaney suspect that there was
    something wrong with her infant?)
    Evaluation
    of the Case. Outline the various pieces of the case study that you are
    focusing on. … (How did Dr. Baker proceed with her examination and
    what were her conclusions?
    ____________________________________________________________
    Reply to TWO of your classmates
    – Your reply should include (Proposed Solution/Changes/recommendations.
    … (What did Dr. Baker suggest? What are the benefits/risks of the
    proposed heart surgery on an infant (exchange ideas/thoughts with TWO your classmates)
    Respond to the following classmate post (1): Typically,
    the heart generates two discernible sounds. Known as “lub-dub,” these
    normal sounds accompany each heartbeat. The initial “lub” sound arises
    from the closure of the mitral and tricuspid valves at the onset of
    systole, while the subsequent “dub” sound is attributed to the closure
    of the aortic and pulmonary valves at the conclusion of systole. These
    acoustic signals serve as critical markers of robust cardiac function,
    demonstrating the systematic circulation of blood within the heart. In
    Caleb’s case, Dr. Baker identified an anomalous sound referred to as a
    murmur during his examination. Murmurs arise from turbulent blood flow
    within the heart’s chambers or valves. Dr. Baker detected this murmur
    just after S1 and preceding S2, as blood traversed the ventricular
    septal defect (VSD), producing distinctive acoustic qualities that
    warranted additional investigation through echocardiography and
    electrocardiography (ECG). Tiffany’s concerns surfaced shortly after
    she returned home from the hospital and began caring for her newborn.
    Observing her baby closely, she noticed signs such as feeding
    difficulties, excessive irritability, and respiratory distress. In the
    lead-up to Caleb’s one-month checkup, Tiffany diligently experimented
    with different feeding methods, including discontinuing breastfeeding,
    trying various bottles, and testing different baby formulas, hoping to
    identify the cause of Caleb’s persistent symptoms. Despite these
    efforts, Caleb’s condition remained unchanged, prompting Tiffany to seek
    medical advice.During Caleb’s one-month checkup, his slow weight gain
    caught Dr. Baker’s attention. Dr. Baker conducted a thorough examination
    of Caleb’s chest and detected a murmur through careful auscultation
    with a stethoscope. Concerned by this finding, Dr. Baker ordered both an
    echocardiogram and an electrocardiogram (ECG) to further investigate
    Caleb’s condition. Dr. Baker proceeded with an
    echocardiogram and an ECG to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of
    Caleb’s cardiac structure and function. These diagnostic tests confirmed
    the presence of a ventricular septal defect (VSD), characterized by a
    small hole between Caleb’s heart ventricles. Dr. Baker’s recommendation
    for surgical intervention underscores the gravity of Caleb’s condition.
    Despite the VSD’s small size, surgery is deemed necessary to mitigate
    potential complications such as heart failure and to optimize Caleb’s
    feeding tolerance and overall health.
    Respond to the following classmate post (2): Caleb’s abnormal heart sounds tipped off Dr. Baker to a problem.
    Normally, the heart makes two sounds, “lub-dub.” The first sound, “lub,”
    happens when the heart valves close as the heart pumps blood out. The
    second sound, “dub,” happens when different valves close as the heart
    relaxes. Dr. Baker heard an extra sound called a murmur, which is caused
    by blood flowing abnormally through the heart, likely due to a hole
    between the heart’s right and left sides.
    Tiffaney noticed something was wrong with Caleb because he had
    trouble eating and cried a lot. At his one-month check-up, he had barely
    gained any weight. Dr. Baker listened to Caleb’s heart and heard a
    murmur, prompting further tests like an echocardiogram and an ECG. These
    tests showed that Caleb had a ventricular septal defect, a small hole
    in the heart wall. Dr. Baker explained that while the hole wasn’t big,
    it was causing Caleb’s issues and would need to be repaired with
    surgery. Tiffaney felt scared about the surgery but relieved to know
    what was wrong.
