[Solved] Clinical Textbookof Addictive Disorders

Select an assessment instrument that you might use as a substance abuse counselor in your future practice even though you have no experience as a substance abuse counselor. 

1.      Select an assessment instrument that you can readily access.  Many assessments are free to use/view, and you do not need to spend money to access an addictions assessment for this assignment.  There are many assessments out there in the public domain (free), and the UC library has many of them.  Here is a helpful website for well-established assessments, and while they may not have links directly to all of the instruments, they do tell you where you can locate them (author, title of assessment, etc.) so you can then look for them on the UC library website: http://lib.adai.uw.edu/instruments/ and click on “Selected assessment instruments” under the paragraph that begins with the gold star. 

You may also choose to look at the Samet et al. (2007) article or the Barsky (2006) article from our readings, or the Stauffer (2008) article for suggestions about potential instruments to use.   Remember to select an assessment instrument, not a screening tool! 

2.      After selecting an assessment, you will need to report on the use of the instrument and on its basic psychometric properties.  The Samet et al. (2007) article provides several examples of professional critiques/reviews of existing assessment instruments, and you are NOT be allowed to select one of the 6 instruments from this article for your own review (as these critiques have already been presented there).   You can, however, use these as guides for your own review.

3.      Read through the assessment and any associated instructional guidelines or material that accompanies the instrument (usually there is a research article published with the instrument by the developers of the instrument).  You may need to locate additional research that tests the psychometric properties of the instrument (reliability/validity), but many times this is included in the original author’s research. 

4.      Critique the assessment instrument.  You will need to first include basic information about using your selected assessment tool, and these criteria are located on page 20 of the Samet et al. (2007) article (under the General Features of Assessment Instruments section).  In addition, you may want to supplement your review using the guidelines starting on page 125 of the Barsky (2006) article. 

5.      Finally, comment on your own personal reactions to the value of this assessment for your own future use.  What are your thoughts on ease of use, the language used, any concerns you have about using this instrument in your own practice?  Include any general feelings about the flow of the assessment or ability to capture relevant information you would need to assess your client’s substance use and treatment needs.

6.      Post your review of your assessment in a new thread of the Enhanced Discussion board, being sure to include a link to your assessment instrument (or information about how to access this assessment).  You do not need to continuously cite information from your assessment tool- just include the access/location information at the beginning of your post. 

Suggested Format:

Instrument selected:  include full name, authors/creators, full reference citation or link- basically, how to find this instrument.

Critique: A paragraph or two to address key elements of your selected instrument (see #4 above).

Personal reactions: A few sentences (see #5 above).

[Solved] Ensuring Positive Patient Health

As an advanced practice nurse, you will likely experience patient encounters with complex comorbidities. For example, consider a female patient who is pregnant who also presents with hypertension, diabetes, and has a recent tuberculosis infection. How might the underlying pathophysiology of these conditions affect the pharmacotherapeutics you might recommend to help address your patient’s health needs? What education strategies might you recommend for ensuring positive patient health outcomes?

For this Discussion, you will be assigned a patient case study and will consider how to address the patient’s current drug therapy plans. You will then suggest recommendations on how to revise these drug therapy plans to ensure effective, safe, and quality patient care for positive patient health outcomes.

Post a brief description of your patient’s health needs from the patient case study you assigned. Be specific. Then, explain the type of treatment regimen you would recommend for treating your patient, including the choice or pharmacotherapeutics you would recommend and explain why. Be sure to justify your response. Explain a patient education strategy you might recommend for assisting your patient with the management of their health needs. Be specific and provide examples.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources for this module and reflect on the different health needs and body systems presented.
  • Your Instructor will assign you a complex case study to focus on for this Discussion.
  • Consider how you will practice critical decision making for prescribing appropriate drugs and treatment to address the complex patient health needs in the patient case study you selected.

[Solved] Challenging — Coordinating Schedules

You must choose whether you want to do a quantitative or a qualitative method and then write up the proposed methodology as part of this milestone. Once your methods are approved, you will be able to go and do the research you propose. 

Here is a video on this next step.

Here is a second video.

The purpose of this milestone is to outline the methodology. It will have the following parts:

  • Problem Statement – what issue you want your research to address
  • Research Questions – the broader, unanswered questions that connect directly to your problem
  • Method – will you do quantitative or qualitative? (Note – if you choose quantitative, you need to get at least 20 people to take your survey; if you choose qualitative, you need to interview at least one person)
  • Instrument – if you are doing quantitative, your instrument is a survey; if you are doing qualitative, your instrument will be an interview
  • Participants and Time Frame – who do you want to participate in the study and how long will you collect data?
  • Limitations – what could get in the way of your study?
  • Sample Questions – write out your instrument; provide a sample

Use the template below to complete your methodology.

HN150 Milestone 3 Template WN21.docx

SAMPLE OF CONTENT THAT GOES INTO THIS MILESTONE:

Problem Statement

Most of the secondary research has been about voters who are over the age of 25. More research should be conducted about voters who are between the ages of 18 and 25. Further, understanding what motivated this age group to vote in the 2020 election is important. It may help to indicate if these voters plan to remain civically engaged in future elections, whether local or national. 

Research Questions

The following questions will guide this study:

1. What motivated voters between the ages of 18 and 25 to vote in the 2020 election? 

2. Does this age group plan to vote in future elections? 

3. Does this age group find voting to be an important privilege? 

Research Methods

Qualitative research will be the method used for this study. Delving more deeply into the “hows” and “whys” of this age group’s motivation for voting is important. 

Instrumentation

One on one interviews (focus group would also work) via Zoom or Facetime will be utilized. The researcher will ask ___ questions. 

Participants and Time Frame 

The researcher wants to interview 3 students who are enrolled in college in the New York area. 

Limitations

Scheduling interviews with students might be challenging—coordinating schedules may lead to conflicts. The coronavirus pandemic is also a limitation and all interviews will need to be conducted via Zoom, Facetime, or over the phone. Honesty is also a limitation, since some students may feel uncomfortable being totally honest about their feelings on this topic. Finally, time is also a limitation. The final project is due on December 7, so collecting data needs to happen quickly. 

Sample Questions 

• What motivated voters between the ages of 18 and 25 to vote in the 2020 election? 

o How old are you? 

o Are you registered to vote in the United States?

o Did you vote in the 2020 election? Why or why not? 

o If you voted, what were the factors that influenced you to vote? 

o Did the choice of presidential candidates motivate you to vote? 

o How did you vote? In person? Mail? 

• Does this age group plan to vote in future elections? 

o Do you plan to vote in future elections? Why or why not?

• Does this age group find voting to be an important privilege?
