I need you to reply to this discussion question and it needs to be 135 words with one cittation.
Von Willebrand Disease has three factor levels; however, the disease itself affects and involves the blood and circulatory system, the stomach and GI Tract, uterus, & skin. 
The VWF is a factor that helps platelets stick together to form clots, and when those levels are low it will cause different levels of vascular abnormalities which in turn affects the body. 
Symptoms of VWD can resemble hemophilia because of the difficulty in clotting. 
Anemia, and easy bruising are the most common symptoms. 
Some other symptoms include joint stiffness & inflammation, fatigue, heavy menses, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath.
In rare circumstances, VWD can be acquired through heart disease, blood transfusions, some types of cancer, and even certain medications; however, it is usually an inherited disease.
VWD is not something that can be “cured”, but it can be treated with different types of clotting medication, depending on your severity.
DDAVP is used for minor surgeries, and dental procedures. Typically it’s administered as a nasal spray immediately before procedures.
Another treatment for VWD is VWD Factor Concentrates, and which is considered a “replacement therapy”, and that is used for Factor II, and Factor III levels of VWD.
With proper management, people living with VWD can expect to live a normal life span.
I have been living with VWD II my entire life, having been diagnosed at the age of 33. 
This is a disease that is very close to my heart, literally.
Science studies natural law, and God created life, & the world.  It is because of that that the Bible and Science work together

An inherited genetic condition known as cystic fibrosis (CF) mostly affects the respiratory system, but it also affects the digestive, reproductive, and other systems of the body. “People with cystic fibrosis have a defective protein that affects the body’s cells, tissues, and the glands that make mucus and sweat,” the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) recommends. Normally slick, mucus shields the linings of the digestive system, airways, and other organs and tissues. Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) produce viscous mucus that can accumulate and cause infections, blockages, or damage to the organs involved.” Department of Health and Human Services, United States, 2022). Stephanie Davis, James Chmiel, and Margaret Rosenfeld (2020) state that “research relates CF in a newborn to congenital airway abnormalities of the trachea, increased acidity of the airway surface liquid that results in inhibition of the function of antibacterial peptide failure of mucus to detach from submucosal gland ducts and increase in airway mucins and mucin flakes.” “The exact processes linking the basic gene defect in CF via abnormalities in CFTR (cystic fibrosis membrane-based conductance regulator) production, trafficking, and function to actual organ damage is unclear.” (2017, page 62). In the US, there are about 10 million CF carriers, however some people may have the gene mutation without realizing they have the illness. For a person to get cystic fibrosis, they must inherit the mutation in the CFTR gene from both parents. Early infancy is typically when diagnoses are made since newborn tests look for CF. (Health and Human Services Department of the United States, 2022). While symptoms are typically apparent, some individuals may have none at all or very few, while others may experience life-threatening or fatal complications. Everybody is affected with CF differently, and symptoms might vary. Because cystic fibrosis (CF) frequently affects the respiratory system, patients may develop thick, sticky mucus accumulation, sinus infections, or bacterial infections in the lungs, which can result in wheezing and a cough that contains blood or mucus. Additionally, gastrointestinal symptoms such as severe stomach discomfort, persistent diarrhea, or constipation, as well as clogged biliary ducts in the liver and obstructed pancreatic ducts, are frequently experienced by patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). (Health and Human Services Department of the United States, 2022). According to our textbook, individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) are unable to produce the pancreatic enzymes required for regular fat and nutrient digestion and absorption. (Ch. 11 of Starr & McMillan, 2017). A thick lump of mucus that obstructs a female’s uterus or delayed puberty in males due to the absence of tiny ducts are two more ways that cystic fibrosis (CF) affects the reproductive system. Regretfully, CF currently has no known treatment. Bronchodilators, which relax and open airways, antibiotics, which cure or prevent lung infections, anti-inflammatory drugs, CFTR modulators, which enhance the function of the defective CFTR protein, and mucus thinners, which clear mucus from airways, are all part of the condition’s management. If CF results in lung/liver illness or respiratory failure, a lung or liver transplant may be required (The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2022). Thank goodness, science empowers humans to engage in God’s redemptive mission when used for good intentions. Science can be used to help and heal God’s creation by finding and developing new medications, therapies, and cures. Even CF sufferers now receive better care, which has allowed them to live lives that are healthier and longer in our fallen world.

One of the most interesting and important types of memory we learned about in chapter 8 is the Flashbulb memory. The example that the authors use is the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade center. Think about a more recent current event like the most recent school shooting that has happened in the USA.  Do you remember where you were when you heard about this event? Who were you with and what were you doing? What did you talk about? After jotting down a few notes, contact someone who was with you when you learn about the school shooting and ask them what they remember from that day. Are your memories identical or different? Are the differences important details or not? Write about what you learned about inaccurate and false memories from this experience and the chapter 8 section on Flashbulb memories and Inaccurate and False Memories.
Your response must be a short essay of at least 150 words. The “right” answer is one that uses full and complete sentences, proper grammar, proper punctuation, and content from the textbook to support your belief and understanding of above question(s).

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.

APPLIED FINAL PROJECT
In your applied final project for this course, you will analyze a case study, select a diagnosis, create a treatment plan, and support your decisions with evidence from the course readings or outside scholarly resources.
STEP 1: Review the Case Report
Psychological Case Study
Name:  Ms. Smith                                                                                      Dates of Interview: 03/18/19; 03/25/19
Date of Birth: 03/21/1987                                                                       Age: 32 years
Gender: Female                                                                                          Education: Highschool Graduate
Background information:
Ms. Smith is a 32-year-old biracial, female, who has completed high school and is currently employed as a waitress.  Ms. Smith was taken to the hospital on 3/18/2019 by local police, who found her screaming, pacing, and weeping inconsolably outside of a local apartment building on 5th Street. Apartment residents called police to the scene, concerned by the disturbance Ms. Smith was creating.
Captain Logan, with Fire and Rescue, arrived second on the scene and treated Ms. Smith for multiple cuts on her arms.  Exhausted by apparent despair, Ms. Smith conveyed she moved to town one month earlier from Memphis, TN, looking for a new start. She met her boyfriend, Frank, six days after starting her new job, and they have gone out six times.  According to Ms. Smith, “Frank is my destiny, he has to love me as much as I love him!”  Officers at the scene learn that Frank, hours earlier, told Ms. Smith he never wanted to see her again and that Ms. Smith has a restraining order against her in San Diego, CA.
Referral Question:
Ms. Smith has been referred to Dr. Liam for psychological evaluation due to immediate concerns for risk of self-harm. 
Current Symptoms:
Currently, Ms. Smith, reports that her head sometimes feels numb and that her thoughts are confused.  She is experiencing incredibly strong feelings of fear, seeing herself as being abandoned and alone in a strange new town. She self identifies as a passionate woman capable of foolish things that she is sometimes sorry for, to include unprotected sex with multiple partners before meeting Frank. 
When interviewed by police the day Ms. Smith was escorted from his apartment complex, Frank reported that Ms. Smith’s behaviors toward him rapidly became impulsive and demanding after their first date.  At first Ms. Smith was charming and thoughtful.  She would surprise him with small, simple gifts (e.g., movie tickets).  She then started to send affectionate text messages every half hour. The nature of the text messages quickly shifted from casual and flirty to strong expressions of passion and love sent every 10 minutes.  When Frank did not respond to these messages, in frequency or kind, Ms. Smith would suddenly ignore him or lash out. 
When asked about this behavior, Ms. Smith reported she regretted her negative actions towards Frank immediately after she did them, experiencing regret or panic after lashing out. Having been in many relationships before, that according to her, ‘did not work out,’ Ms. Smith could not stand the idea of Frank, her perfect love, seeing her as unkind.
Now that Frank has broken up with Ms. Smith, she feels empty, powerless, and worthless.  She attributes this sorrow as the reasons behind her sudden mood swings.  Her thoughts and emotions stray between extreme agitation and a compulsion to act out to apathy and a desire to withdraw.     
Relevant History: 
Developmental/Medical/Social:
Ms. Smith’s mother, Helen Taylor, and father, Jake Smith, were both heroin addicts.  Her mother claims she did not use drugs while pregnant with Ms. Smith, attributing the life-style change to having completed rehabilitation two months prior to becoming pregnant.  During the pregnancy, Ms. Taylor did not seek prenatal care due to a fear of doctors and a lack of financial security.  At delivery, Ms. Smith reports she thinks she was a normal, healthy infant. 
Ms. Smith reports that her mother, Ms. Taylor, was not interested in being a mother and abandoned her to the care of Mr. Smith when she was 8-months old, upon his release from jail, following incarceration for stealing a wedding band to wed Ms. Taylor. 
Growing up, Ms. Smith had two older half-brothers, and one younger half-sister.  Her mother had multiple relationships prior to meeting Mr. Smith and is the mother of Ms. Smith’s brothers. Ms. Smith’s half-sister is the child of her father and stepmother.  Ms. Smith lived with her father and stepmother until she was 18 years-of-age.  The years between 2 and 8 she describes as the most influential. She struggled with confusion as to why her mother did not want her and why her stepmother ignored her.  She also suffered malnutrition due to lacking food in the home. 
Between the ages of 7 and 17, Ms. Smith continued to lack food and emotional security. She also withdrew into bouts of self-loathing and wishing for a permanent out for her mental, emotional, and physical suffering.  Her father’s moods were unpredictable, and her stepmother hit her frequently. Ms. Smith reports that no longer what she did (skipped school, brought home straight A’s), her stepmother expressed upset towards her. Owning one pair of jeans, four shirts and one pair of shoes by the time she turned 18, Ms. Smith was sensitive to the judgement of others.  In middle school and high school, she was overly self-focused and overreacted if she sensed a hint of judgement or rejection from others.  This reactance often led to sudden moments of violence (fights, throwing objects, verbal assaults) against those Ms. Smith felt wronged by.  During this period, Ms. Smith also took up the use of alcohol to counter regrets for her negativity towards others, and the wallowing emotional pit of nothingness she sometimes found herself in. 
Ms. Smith did disclose a family history of mental health challenges and anger management issues, though most she attributes to illegal substance use difficulties. Ms. Smith says she has worked with multiple therapists over the years but has not had luck finding one who understands her enough to bring about change.  Reportedly, Ms. Smith was not athletic as a child or teen, but was good at art, music, and writing.  She participated in band until her stepmother made it impossible for her to make it to band practice on time, making her miss the morning school bus. 
Pointed to above, Ms. Smith’s relationships with others have, and continue to be brief, beginning with idealization of a person and then a rapid period of denigration and demands of that person.
Educational/Occupational:
Ms. Smith explained that she was an early reader and began to read while attending a Jump Start Program.  Ms. Smith stated that, during the first grade, she “loved” her teacher Mr. V., but he never paid attention to her.  Ms. Smith reported that she performed quite well academically from the second through the fifth grade. This period marks a time before a move across country to a new town.  In sixth grade, Ms. Smith changed schools.  The middle school and high school years marked a period where her teachers knew her homelife was poor and they worked to get her into advanced classes. Currently, Ms. Smith is working as a waitress, but aspires to enter the music industry as a song writer. She has always been talented with the written word, according to her.  This career focus will be her fourth “remaking of herself” in the past 18 months. 
Alcohol Substance Abuse:
Ms. Smith denied use of any illegal drugs or any prescription drugs, but does overindulge in alcohol.
Conduct and Legal:
Reportedly, Ms. Smith has a restraining order against her in the state of California.  The order is to maintain over 100 feet from a past romantic interest.  Ms. Smith acknowledge she was disappointed her affection was perceived as overly demanding and blames the failure of the relationship on the fact the person was married.
Observations:
Ms. Smith is a 32-year-old, biracial female of average height and petite frame. She appeared her stated age, arrived at the evaluation agitated and dressed in clothes that may have been slept in. She was polite and cooperative at one moment and then sarcastic or argumentative the next during the evaluation.  Ms. Smith is left-handed. When challenged she would response with explosive anger, then retrack with an apology and body language that expressed guilt or remorse.  Attention and concentration were slightly impaired.  Ms. Smith’s thought processes were connected, while logic applied to decision making was not always coherent.  Ms. Smith’s eye contact during the evaluation was dependent on her mood. 
Regarding her motor functioning, there are no apparent abnormalities.  No evidence of impaired vision or hearing was present during this evaluation.  Ms. Smith did not demonstrate any difficulties with speech and appeared to demonstrate the ability to both understand and express the English language without notable exceptions. The content of her thought was occasionally tangential, moving off topic to the discussion of Frank, or to make personal inquiries directed at getting to know Dr. Liam. Her preoccupation with being abandoned does not appear to reflect paranoid thinking.  Her affect shifts rapid, contingent on topic of the discussion.  She did not report hallucinations or delusions.  Ms. Smith’s gait and pace reflected shifts in mood throughout the session. She did express suicidal but not homicidal ideation.
