  • “Promoting Inclusivity and Community Camaraderie: Positive Movements in My Town”

    Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates.    
    For your initial post, address the following:    
    First, identify a community of your choice of which you consider yourself a member. For example, a community might be your own town, city, or rural area. For this discussion, it doesn’t have to be where you live now. It can be somewhere you lived in the past, or it can be a community with which you are familiar.  
    If you prefer, you may discuss a fictional community from a movie, television show, book, or other work that revolves around a community. 
    Then, describe a movement for positive change and two creative works from the community that illustrate the movement. (For a fictional community, the movement will most likely be demonstrated through the actions of the characters.) 
    What was the result of the movement for positive change?
    How do the works illustrate the movement?  
    For your response posts, address the following:    
    Do you agree with your peer about how the works they identified illustrate the movement? Why, or why not? 
    Are your cultural norms challenged by the movement your peer identified? If so, how? (Consider your perspective about the movement and whether you would be involved.)

    The community that I am a part of is the town where I live. However, the town has a history of being exclusive to white farmers of German or Swedish descent, which made it challenging for people from diverse backgrounds to feel included. Despite this, our community has made significant efforts in the last 15 years to promote inclusivity and cultural diversity.
    One initiative that helped in this regard is constructing a community square. Additionally, the community started a program called “Neighborhood Nights,” which offers various cultural events suitable for all ages and abilities. These events occur on Friday nights from May through September and include outdoor movies, family games, concerts, cuisine experiences, and artistic exhibits. These events have strengthened our sense of belonging and community camaraderie.
    Another recent initiative is a “Spotlight” display in a dedicated area of town. The display features a rotating exhibit from community members. Sometimes, the theme is Military Service, Artists, Producers (agricultural), etc. During the rotation, the display contains photos of members with descriptions of their contributions to the community, state, or country. This opportunity has increased community members’ knowledge about others in our town and publicly acknowledges the vital role we can all play.

    You work for an organization that has an old policy
    prohibiting the use of temporary agencies for staffing because of a previous

    request, but you want to partner with the department manager to discuss whether
    this is the right approach. Respond to the manager, providing some of the pros
    and cons of using a staffing agency versus hiring directly. Include thoughts on

  • “Evidence-Based Practices for Improving Quality of Life for an Elderly Stroke Patient: A Case Study Analysis”

    .
    It is important to be able to identify evidence-based methods and practices and to recognize how these practices are used for specific clients in appropriate settings. This journal activity will allow you to think through these important actions and to continue reflecting on the case study that you will address in your final project.
    First, review the case study in the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document and select one of the following issues or conditions from the case study:
    Mobility issues
    Assistance with activities of daily living
    Difficulty paying bills
    Stroke
    Trauma
    Then identify evidence-based practices that might be used with a patient like Jean across at least two different settings:
    Hospital
    Rehabilitation center
    Home healthcare
    Hospice
    In 250 to 300 words, explain how evidenced-based practices can be used to assist Jean and improve her quality of life, regarding one issue or condition across at least two different settings. Ideally, the practices you discuss will be relevant in multiple settings, but you may need to explain how these practices can be adjusted to fit certain settings.
    Remember to always approach the issue from the perspective of a human services professional as opposed to that of a healthcare professional such as a nurse or a doctor.
    Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins
    Below is the case study 
    Case Study
    Jean is an 87-year-old woman who was admitted to Manchester Community Hospital, in Manchester, New Hampshire, after having a debilitating stroke that paralyzed the left half of her body. She is a widow, and her three adult children live in different states. She needs assistance eating, transferring to her wheelchair, and most other activities of daily living. Her medical issues related to the stroke are quickly being resolved, and it is time to begin assessing her needs for discharge and post-discharge. It is important to note that Jean’s savings have been totally depleted and her medical bills are mounting since her healthcare insurance has proven to be inadequate to cover her medical expenses. Her limited pension and social security barely covered her living expenses prior to her stroke and are unlikely to cover the escalating expenses that she will undoubtedly encounter based on her medical condition. Moreover, Jean has been clinically diagnosed with PTSD after being raped by a neighbor in her home two years ago. She is still grappling with the effects of the trauma, even as the criminal case against the perpetrator slowly moves forward. Although her family modified the home to make it more secure and less vulnerable to intrusion, her current lack of mobility is weighing heavily on her psychologically. Despite her current issues, Jean derives great comfort from her faith as a devout Catholic. She typically has a wonderful sense of humor and is highly organized, having worked as an elementary school teacher during her earlier years. She participates regularly in the local garden club and on her neighborhood welcoming committee. She has a wide circle of friends with whom she interacts. Her children are currently staying in Manchester to oversee her care and to contribute to the development of her post-discharge care plan. It is unclear whether any of the children will stay on after her discharge to help care for Jean, but this seems unlikely unless considered essential by the medical team. An interdisciplinary team is being developed to design a comprehensive plan for Jean’s post-discharge care.
