The case study chosen is about Sean which comes from chapter 7 in the Crisis Intervention Case Book. Sean is a 19 year old sophomore who is currently on disciplinary probation for getting in a fight during freshman year and breaking the other students jaw.

His friend then called 911 and an ambulance came. At the emergency room Sean’s stomach was pumped and a blood test shown an extremely high level of alcohol along with marijuana and oxycontin. Sean’s case is considered a medical crisis because if his friend would of left him there Sean could have choked on vomit and died.…

In the first video at John Smith Middle school, on Friday, April fifteenth at 12 pm, the classroom observed was in Mrs. Blue’s middle school class. This class was not as ethnically diverse; there were only Caucasian and Hispanics visible. From what was shown there were eleven boys and ten girls. In the second video at Luther High school, on Wednesday, April thirteenth at 11 am, was Mr. G’s high school class. This was a larger ethnically diverse class, with ethnicity ranging from, African American, and Hispanic. There were relatively ten boys and eight girls.…
Evidence –based practice has been gaining acceptance and momentum in the social services professions. As evidence related to specific programs and inventions mount, social service practitioners and organizations around the world have increasingly begun to implement evidence-based programs as a strategy for creating better outcomes for children, families and adults. Unfortunately, the science of evaluating efficacious and effective programs and interventions has far out spaced the science of implementing them. A gap exists between what we know works and being able to utilize what works in practice (Maynard, August 2009). The article allows you to question why it is so hard for people to understand concepts, theories and research that they have studied. The information that they know and have studied is being put in to practice. How can practitioners evaluate and come to conclusions on their studies of clients and don’t implement what they have studied? We all have clients that we use certain interventions for and we know what works for them but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for all of them. If 10 people are researched on a new technique that you have learned and they all respond positively to it, that doesn’t mean that the next 10 people you work with will respond the same way.…
On Monday morning I sit down with the teacher to review the weekly plan. This is a more detailed plan of the upcoming lessons and contains:…
The main purpose of this paper is to observe and evaluate an ELL lesson using the SIOP (The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) checklist ("Lesson Plan Checklist For The Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP)"). The emphasis of this observation will be on Lesson Preparation, Building Background, and Comprehensible Input. Using literature as an English learning tool is the lesson that we will be assessing in the paper.…
Calgary Family Intervention Model (CFAM) is described as a” companion to “Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM). The essence of nursing is to alleviate suffering by designing a plan of care truly address identified problem (Addington & Burnett, 2004). The diagnoses identified for this family are:…
Parent management training (PMT) is also known as behavioral parent training (BPT) is an evidence based intervention for families with co-occurring needs such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder, and conduct disorder. This intervention was developed in the early 1960’s, due to the increase in the need for therapies focusing on the child and parental needs. The pioneers of this intervention were several child psychologists, including Robert Wahler, Constance Hanf, Martha E. Bernal, and Gerald Patterson, they were inspired to develop new treatments based on behavioral principles of operant conditioning and applied behavioral analysis.…
Great things are unfolding in classrooms all across the nation. Students are making strides like never before. Teachers are learning how to pinpoint student needs and to address those needs using research-based instructional practices. Special education resources are being provided to students with learning disabilities much sooner than has ever been possible. What could possibly be the reason? The difference maker is a new approach in education, Response to Intervention, or RTI. This paper will provide a general overview of the three tiers of RTI, as well as how RTI is changing the face of education by providing more options that fall in between general and special education, improving the process of identifying students with learning disabilities, and giving educators ways to better reach all students, not just those who are below grade-level.…
Evidence-Based Practice is the act of researching medical techniques in order to make practicing medicine safer and more efficient. Even though this process sounds easy, there are some problems with it. Many nurses practice with Evidence-Based Practice every single day, but others do not get the opportunity to use this practice. The concept of Evidence-Based Practice is simple. Healthcare professionals research why they do certain things, such as inserting an IV, in order to make their work more efficient.…
Patient-centered care is globally becoming the focus in the health care system, resulting in the integration of evidence-based practice to improve care. Evidence-based practice has been introduced to the health care industry to incorporate clinical expertise, scientific research, and the values as well as preferences of patients to ensure that the patient is the focus of care. Nurses play a crucial role in the implementation of evidence-based practice to ensure that clinical decisions based on current evidence, patient values, and clinical expertise guide the care provided to the patient. To improve care, nurses must consider what decisions should be made for the care of a patient through careful assessment of patient preferences while also…
I think that evidence based practice is a very important aspect of nursing that should drive treatment, policy and procedure. Even though evidence based practice is informative and provides the best or leading theories to better our patients there doesn’t seem to be a standard to when evidence based practice is rolled out throughout different hospital systems. Some hospitals are using the latest and greatest methods for treating patients and some hospitals are years behind. Why is it that there isn’t a set standard on how long a hospital has to transfer to the new method and why don’t hospitals push to be using the best known care for their patients to improve outcomes. We as nurses should want to provide the best care to our patients as possible and it seems that the standard of care varies widely between different hospitals and hospital systems without an easy way for patients to be able to discern which ones are using evidence to drive their treatment.…
The second evidenced based family intervention model that is applicable to this problem is Dialectical Behavior. Dialectical Behavior or DBT is another extension of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Developed in the late 1980’s through psychologist Marsha M. Linehan its development sought to be a better treatment modality to treat individuals present with borderline personalities. With DBT being able to be utilized in a variety of mental health settings it is a great modality for individuals and families that present severe mental health issues, post-traumatic stress and even addictions. DBT incorporates the following five components throughout its treatment:…
Early Interventions in Special Education, in my opinion are extremely important. I believe that early interventions are important mainly for one reason; the earlier a problem is detected and diagnosed, the earlier a solution can be found to set up a plan of action that will result in a positive outcome for the child and the family. During the first years or the preschool years the human brain develops rapidly, therefor early interventions are important for children with special needs, because it allows them to learn abilities that will help them throughout their lives. "Over 50 years of research on children with many types of disabilities receiving a range of specialized services in many different settings has produced evidence that early intervention can: 1) ameliorate (meaning to make the situation better), and in some cases, prevent developmental problems; 2) result in fewer…
