WEEK 6 Assignment
Part 1: Analyze the interpersonal skills used in a healthcare
situation.
Description: Dramatize a professional, interpersonal experience
to illustrate four points regarding interpersonal skills. An actual
or hypothetical situation may be used for example. Any actual
situation should be presented as a hypothetical one, with any
names and other identifying information changed to protect
anonymity. Identify a) if the situation is with a patient or a
colleague, b) the various interpersonal skills used, c) how the
skills used either positively or negatively contributed to the
situation, d) how the skills might have been improved and/or
anticipated results of the improvement, to contribute to both to
the art and science of healthcare practice.
Let’s break the assignment down so that it is easier to
comprehend. Think of a time when you experienced an
interpersonal situation (Please use the interpersonal skills
discussed in the seminar or you own) in your work environment
when it involved a patient or fellow employee or both. If you
cannot think of a scenario, you may create one.
1) Discuss your scenario explaining the situation and the parties
involved
2) Discuss the various interpersonal skills that were used in the
scenario (the assignment asks for four interpersonal skills i.e.
communication, patience, decision making, etc).
3) Did the skills used in the scenario contributed to the situation
(positively or negatively)?
4) Discuss how the interpersonal skills used in your scenario
could be improved and how the skills contribute to healthcare.
Part 2: Write a hypothesis, identify an appropriate experimental
control group, and create an experimental design to solve a
problem: Identify one specific interpersonal skill problem
related to healthcare (example; language barriers between

clinicians and patients, cultural differences, etc.). Suppose you
wanted to design a scientific study to investigate this problem.
Identify the following components of the study; hypothesis,
control group, experimental design. Discuss obstacles might
exist to using a scientific approach in this kind of investigation?
Let’s break down part two. Let’s say you are going to design a
scientific study to investigate a problem. You will need a
hypothesis, a control group, and an experimental design.
1) Write a hypothesis using one specific interpersonal skill
problem related to healthcare.
Formalized Hypotheses example: If poor performance of
clinicians is related to lack of communication in the clinic, then
clinicians with exposure to effective communication will
perform at a higher level.
2) Identify your control group for this study. In the example
hypothesis I gave you above, the control group would be the
clinicians in this particular scenario.
3) Discuss your experimental design.
In an experiment, we deliberately change one or more process
variables (or factors) in order to observe the effect the changes
have on one or more response variables. An experiment design
is a blueprint of the procedure that enables the researcher to test
his hypothesis by reaching valid conclusions about relationships
between independent and dependent variables. In my example
the variables are clinician’s performance and communication.
Clinician’s performance (independent variable) is dependent on
communication (dependent). There are many types of
experimental designs. I have provided you an example of an
experimental design.

This assignment has two parts, based on the client and recorded role-play from the face-to-face residency. Part 1 is the completed case conceptualization; Part 2 is the transcription analysis. Once completed, you will upload the two separate documents to the assignment area. Part 1: Case Conceptualization Open the Case Conceptualization media piece (linked in the Resources) and complete the information in the online form for the tab titled “Case Conceptualization.” Be certain to review the scoring guide before you begin writing and note that integrating current peer-reviewed literature is required to meet the Distinguished criteria. The selected counseling theory should be consistent with what you applied in your recorded role-play and guide how you frame the treatment goals and interventions selected. You do not have to complete the plan in one setting; you may save your work and return to the plan as many times as you need to complete your work. This gives you the opportunity to build your case conceptualization in stages. Once you have completed each of the sections, including an APA style reference list , you will create a PDF to be uploaded in the assignment area. Part 2: Transcription Analysis For this part of the assignment, you will transcribe a ten-minute segment of the recorded role-play. Use the Transcription Form (linked in Resources) to create your transcript. Be sure to complete all columns in the transcription form. Format the Transcription Form columns as follows: Transcription column: Use a different row for each speaker's words. Use "CO" for Counselor and "CL" for Client. Clinical Competencies Utilized column: ("What I Did.") Identify clinical competencies. Competencies may include application of core counseling skills, assessment questions, diagnosis, and theory-based interventions, depending on what is demonstrated in your segment of the counseling. Examples: Reflection of experience. Minimal simple encouragement or simple empathic statement (core counseling skills). Assessment question. Identifying, acknowledging, or reviewing symptoms (link to diagnosis). Other responses that are specific to your chosen theoretical approach. Analysis of Clinical Thinking column: ("What I Was Thinking.") Analyze your reasoning for your response. Provide a rationale that is based on the client's statement, your theoretical approach, or both. Identify the theoretical approach by pointing out examples of your use of the model's main concepts. Examples: "I see Audrey's difficulty with social situations in part as being due to learned behavior" (link to theory). "Her tendency to generalize her shyness to all areas of her life keeps her from making any progress." "So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how close to your goal do you see yourself?" (Potential counselor statement in the transcription column). "Here I was using a scaling question from the solution-focused model." Evaluation of Response column: ("What I Wo.

Assignment 2.2: Justification Report - Part 2 Due Week 5 and worth 150 points In Part 1 of your Justification Report assignment, you built up the following sections: Problem Statement, Overview of Alternatives, Criteria, and Methods. In Part 2, you will revise Part 1 based on your instructor's suggestions and add to it the following sections: Evaluation of Alternatives, Findings and Analysis, and References. Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings: · Evaluation of Alternatives (for Questions 1-3) · Findings and Analysis (for Questions 4-5) · References (for Question 6) Write a two (2) page, single-spaced report in which you: 1. Research the two (2) alternatives (i.e. possible solutions) that you've identified in your Part 1 Evaluation of Alternatives section. Record bibliographic information during research. a. Example: You might research other organizations that have attempted similar solutions to the problem you have identified and explore the results of those experiments. 2. Use what you discover in your research to evaluate each alternative by each of your five (5) criteria. a. Example: If your research revealed that four companies similar to yours increased productivity after allowing their workers to telework from home three days per week, you might conclude that one of your suggested alternatives – in this case, the option to telework from home three days per week – satisfies one of your criterion of “Productivity” as a high-potential solution to a problem you’ve identified (of decreased worker morale and productivity at Doe’s Electronics). However, additional research might frustrate a recommendation of this alternative if it is found to fall short of other criteria while a second alternative fares better. For instance, a telework alternative might be found to be too costly to implement; too frustrating for consumers who prefer daily, in-person customer service; or too divergent from the company’s brand, “Always there for you!”� 3. Organize the assignment by your criteria. Explain in narrative form how each of your two (2) alternatives stacks up against your first criterion. Next, explain how each alternative stacks up against your second criterion, etc. a. Example: An abbreviated outline of what this longer section might look like based on the above example is below (Note: Only the first two [2] of five [5] required criteria are included to give you a feel for the structure). Your researched findings, represented as circled bullets below, should be explained in two to five (2-5) sentences. Include in-text citations and follow up with References in APA style): Evaluation of Alternatives · Productivity a.

Running Head: WORKPLACE ISSUES WORKPLACE ISSUES 2 English Homework Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Professor’s Name Description of the problems The two major workplace issues to be discussed in this paper include discrimination and safety within the workplace. Discrimination refers to a situation in which some employees within an organization are highly favoured in comparison to others. For instance, some organizations may favour particular group of people for each and every kind of leadership position at the extent of depriving others this chance even though they may be qualified for the position. Discrimination comes in various ways; in some scenarios it may be viewed from the point of using the organization’s resources whereby some employees may not be allowed to use some resources as a result of discrimination. The issue of discrimination needs to be addressed from the fact that an organization may end up losing potential employees as a result of discrimination. Discrimination is normally brought as a result of having a diversity of employees within a workplace. Currently, researches conducted in different organizations have shown that organizations with a higher diversity of employees will always have great ideas for creativity and also innovation. From the fact that discrimination results into loss of potential employees, this clearly shows that the level of creativity and innovation with as well decrease and therefore making this issue very sensitive and thus needs to be addressed (Acocella, 2007). The second major problem that needs to be addressed is safety from the fact that organizations deal with various tools and equipment which may result into harmful implications on the employees. Safety may also be looked into in different angles; for instance there is the physical safety in which the employer should ensure each employee is protected against any risk that may end up resulting into harmful effects. Emotional safety is also important and the employee should ensure this by providing a stress free environment for working. Safety is a very important issue to be addressed from the fact that human life is very important. A human life once lost can never be retrieved since no one has the capability of giving another life. This makes this problem very necessary to be addressed. Solution s for the problems to be implemented Strategies need to be implemented to address the issues above. For the case of discrimination, various steps need to be applied to make sure the problem is addressed. The employers needs to sit and discuss deeply with an experienced business attorney who will help in the formulation of discrimination policies for the workplace. The policies should be in line with the discrimination laws for best results. It is from th.

Your Final Project from this course will enable you to compare cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society to those in other parts of the world. Final Project Information Overview Your Final Project will be a medium-length essay in which you address the cultural viewpoints toward death and dying in Western society and compare these to the perspectives toward death and dying in other parts the world. As the course content will point out, much about the Western response to death and dying amplifies the process of grief and bereavement, perhaps unnecessarily. In the West, death is something that is denied and, in many ways, is something that people seem ill-equipped to deal with once the event occurs or is imminent. Your job in this paper will be to put on your social scientist cap and offer “cultural solutions” to the way that death and dying is dealt with in Western society. Assignment Based on your own independent research in which you compare the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies to those in Eastern societies such as China, Vietnam, Japan, and so forth, write an essay that addresses the following points: Describe in detail the major differences between the Western viewpoint toward death and dying and those in these Eastern societies (you may focus on one country, such as China, or talk about Eastern societies more generally). Be sure to describe the rituals involved with the process of death and dying, the various technologies, or anything that helps explain these differences. Give one specific example of a famous case of death and dying in Western society that demonstrates some of the problems or dysfunctions of the Western viewpoint (examining cases in the media, for example, will be a great place to start!). Finally, conclude your final paper with a detailed commentary about what we can do to change the cultural beliefs toward death and dying in Western societies in a way that makes us less afraid of the dying process. Be very specific in your commentary. .

Your draft should establish and develop a single thesis [or controlling idea], develop in parts. You may also write from the earlier handout on an author you haven’t yet written about. Gandhi’s “Economic and Moral Progress” suggests that morality and economic prosperity do not go hand in hand. In fact, he argues, oftentimes, one loses one’s morality when one becomes wealthy. Do you agree with Gandhi? Does wealth correlate with immorality? Yes or no. Explain by referring to passages from the essay. Compare David Suzuki’s understanding of interdependence [interconnectedness] with Ricard and Thuan’s. Discuss the ways in which Gandhi supports his argument—first with historical examples, then with famous people, then by using the writing of a famous scientist. Is his essay more effective as he adds this type of support? Desmond Tutu describes South Africa’s decision to seek a middle path between two extremes. What are these extremes and what is this middle path? Is Tutu right in arguing for this road down the middle? Compare Desmond Tutu’s “middle path” with the teachings of Lao Tzu. Does Lao Tzu advocate a similar position? You might include other famous historical figures who’ve argued a similar position. David Suzuki’s “The Sacred Balance” appears to be in two parts: first, he identifies the problem in three parts, then he identifies the solution in three parts. What is the essential problem and what is Suzuki’s solution? Tom Shadyac’s film, “I Am” has a central thesis and advocates a certain solution. What is the basic thesis of the film and what is the solution or solution[s] he advocates? What’s the basic problem and what’s the answer? And how does he convince the audience of these truths? Kenzaburo Oe develops a very smart and very controversial thesis. What is his thesis and what exactly does he refer to in an attempt to develop, support that thesis. Kenzaburo Oe discusses the Great Flood [Noah] at the end of his essay and identifies something very troubling about the Western mind. What is this thing he is identifying here? How does it relate to the overall theme of the essay [man’s inhumanity to man]? Rachel Carson’s “Obligation to Endure” identifies large increases in human populations that create conditions in which insects and other forms of life must be controlled. Name a few of these patterns of behavior that cause an increase in the amount of insects among us. Identify Rachel Carson’s thesis and her solution. What’s the problem she outlines and what does she propose we do? How do Carson’s ideas seem to influence David Suzuki? Are they on to the same problems? How are they similar or different? Plato’s Gorgias is a discussion of the problem of rhetoric and the need for conversation. What is rhetoric, according to Plato, and why is it so dangerous? Does he convince the reader that discourse [words] can be used inappropriately and in dangerous ways? Discuss any of the questions that follow the readings [Understa.
