Part one of the rubric says, identify the risk and the risk type and domain for this case study. What is the type of risk? If you look in the module, you will see information on compliance, hazard, control, and opportunity risks. Sometimes the case can have more than risk one risk type. Complete the learn by applying section in Module three for more information on types of risk and how they are explained. The next issue is the risk domain for the case study. In Module three, again, there are learning activities about the domains. The domains are operational, clinical safety, strategic, financial, human capital, legal and regulatory technology and hazard. Please review Module three so that you can specifically identify the domain of risk for this case study. The second part of the rubric talks about contributory factors. What are the four factors that contributed to the identified risk that you identified in part one. What is a contributory risk factor? This is a variable that increases the likelihood of something happening in health care. For example, if your waiting room times in the ED are terrible and this leads to delayed triage diagnosis and treatment, you know that something is going to happen. In part three, it talks about proactive measures. What’s a proactive measure? This is an action that you can take to prevent or mitigate the negative effects of a situation rather than responding to it after the event happens. In other words, it’s a primary prevention method. You know that it might rain, you take your umbrella, and you can use that umbrella if it starts to rain to keep yourself dry. In this particular section, you are going to discuss three proactive measures to reduce or prevent the risk. Listing the measures is not enough. You must write at the graduate level, describing, explaining, and supporting your decision when choosing your three proactive measures. Please use at least one scholarly source that supports all of your proactive measures. The fourth part of this assignment talks about mitigation strategies. What’s a mitigation strategy? A mitigation strategy is an action that you can take to reduce the impact of the risk. We want you to discuss three mitigation strategies. Again, discussing means that you’re going to robustly write about these strategies using scholarly sources to support your choice and your reasoning. You need to explain how each of these strategies are going to work to mitigate the risk identified in the case study. Next is parts five regulatory agencies. This is an area where students sometimes struggle. What is a regulatory agency? It is an agency that is either a public or government that enforces and has the authority to enforce safety standards for healthcare practitioners, facilities, and products. We give you a few examples here. For instance, your local County Health Department or your state health department, or your professional State Board of Nursing or the State Board of Medicine. From a federal perspective, the FDA, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMSS, and the OIG Office of the Inspector General, and of course, Neo, which has to do with occupational Safety and Health. These are just some examples. It’s not limited to this list, but you have to pick a regulation from one of these agencies that you find that are enforceable. And we want you to discuss it. Again, you don’t list it, you discuss it, writing at the graduate level, and we want you to use a scholarly source or a resource from the regulatory agency that you chose to show how it applies in this case scenario. Please do not use key opinion leader societies. For instance, there are some organizations that supply clinical practice guidelines. It does not mean that they’re a regulatory agency. A regulatory agency has the power to enforce a standard. Make sure whichever regulatory agency you choose that they have that enforcement action as part of their duties. In part six, you’re going to provide a summary. The first part is really your opinion on how you as an NP, are going to monitor whether these mitigation strategies that you chose are actually going to work? How will you know? Because surveillance is super important to knowing that you’ve been effective? We also want you to think of yourself once you’re an MP. How will you personally, as you go about caring for patients, as an MP, use these mitigation strategies in your own practice? How will you integrate this in your personal clinical workflow? Then the last piece is, did you have any a ha moments when completing this assignment? You can use writing in the first person in this part of the summary. In scholarly writing, we ask that you use the third person only. But when it’s a personal reflection, it is okay to write in the first person. If you don’t know what this means, please go to the writing center and look at the area that says, writing in the point of view. If you have any questions or any concerns, your first point of contact is always your. Please reach out to your instructor in a timely basis prior to the deadline of your assignment to clarify, ask questions, and if you have areas that you don’t understand, your instructor is happy to help you. Thank you for listening to this little video, and we hope that this helps with your week three assignment.

Critically appraise a qualitative and quantitative research design – Please select two research articles (qualitative and quantitative) and critically appraise both of them.   

Once you chose your research articles, answer the following questions for both studies: 

1. Is the evidence from a known, reputable source?

2. Has the evidence been evaluated in any way? If so, how and by whom?

3. How up-to-date is the evidence?

4. How was the outcome measured?

5. What implications does the study have for your practice? Is it relevant?

1. Describe dermatitis, diagnostic criteria, and treatment modalities
2. Describe the drug therapy for Conjunctivitis and Otitis Media 
3. Discuss Herpes Virus infections, patient presentation, and treatment
4. Describe the most common primary bacterial skin infections and the treatment of choice. 

As a criminal justice professional, you will regularly serve the public by supporting individuals who may be experiencing a mental health crisis or who are affected by mental health issues or disabilities. To support individuals with mental health issues, criminal justice professionals must be ready to identify helpful resources for those in crisis. Not every community has the same resources available, so it is important to know what exists in your area. Your community may have federal, state, and county resources, as well as non-profit organizations and services. Vulnerable individuals rely on the ethical decision-making skills of criminal justice professionals to protect their safety in crisis situations.

In this summative assessment, you will create a resource guide that lists services available in your community. Upon completion, you will have a usable list of resources that promote solutions for individuals facing a similar crisis.

Select a target population represented in your area with demographics familiar to you, such as a group that shares a mental or behavioral health diagnosis, a cultural identity, socioeconomic status, or a factor such as age, race/ethnicity, or sex/gender. Locate data on current trends within this population related to mental health and the criminal justice system. Research community resources available in your area that promote solutions to individuals from this population who are affected by mental health issues or crises.

Assessment Deliverable

Write a 700- to 1,050-word resource guide that analyzes community services available in your area to support individuals affected by mental health issues or crises. Compose the guide as if you were a criminal justice professional documenting potential resources to share with individuals in your community. Include the following in your resource guide.  You should have a total of 20 different resources (2 are needed for each category):

• Describe the demographics and mental health concerns of the intended population for the community resources included in your guide. 
• Give 2 examples of resources available in your community in each of the following categories that are appropriate for individuals from the population group you selected:
• Mental health treatment services
• Disability and accessibility services
• Substance abuse services
• Domestic violence services
• Housing/shelter services
• Veteran services
• Sexual assault services
• Basic needs support (food and clothing)
• Transportation services (Note: When referring individuals in crisis to resources, remember to consider their access to a vehicle and driving ability.)
• Choose one: services for a first-time justice-involved individual; or, services for an individual exiting a correctional facility to reenter a community.
• Describe the services provided and include the following information for each community resource or agency:
• Name of the resource or agency
• Physical address
• Phone number
• Contact person
• Website of the resource or agency
• Cost to individuals (e.g., accepts insurance, sliding fee, free)
• Explain how each resource could assist someone affected by mental health issues or crisis. This information will be completed under the services provided section of the template.  Please be thorough here! I do not want a one or two line response, as you need to explain how this resource would benefit your targeted population.
• Recommend at least 1 additional service that would be helpful to the population you selected but is unavailable in your community.

Use a format that makes the information in the guide clear to readers, such as a flyer, outline, list, brochure, or Wakelet® page.

700-word comparison of your observations.

Include the following in your comparison:

• Identify differences as well as similarities.
• Consider how the physical, cognitive, and social-emotional theories are implemented in each setting.
• Address the following:
• Describe each clinical experience setting. Include location, educational level, time of day, what the students were participating in at the time of observation, and the experience of the educator.
• Consider the physical development of each observation. How were they the same? How were they different? What physical developmental theories did you observe?
• Consider the cognitive development of each observation. How were they the same? How were they different? What cognitive theories did you observe?
• Consider the social and emotional development of each setting. How were they the same? How were they different? What social and emotional theories did you observe?
• Overall, did you notice anything surprising about the observations?
• What insight did you gain from these observations?
• How could you apply what you observed to your own educational setting?
• Consider the influence of family, peer relationships, technology, and drug/alcohol on your observations of the students’ development and behavior.
