The Case of Emily P.Emily is a 62-year-old, single, heterosexual, African American female who seeks treatment for anxiety. She says she is very concerned since she recently has been pulling her hair out,and it has become noticeable on top of her head.  She is taking to wearing hats,which she finds acceptable. She worries about many things, which is not new to her,and she finds that scrubbing her home clean is her best therapy to ease her anxiety.Emily reports that germs have been a regular concern of hers since adolescence, when she learned in health classes about the risks of serious diseases including sexual transmittable disease. Emily presented with meticulous grooming, although the knees of her pants were noted as worn. She has arthritis in herspine and knees and uses a walker to help her manage mobility safely. With her physical disabilities it is challenging sometimes to scrub clean the house daily. This worries her shouldshe get a visitor and the house is not in order as she would like it. She is no longer working,so the amount of time it takes her to scrub the house clean doesn’t delay her daily schedule as it used to.Emily receives Social Security income and is not employed. Although the Social Security is acceptable,her living expenses are always a concern to her. She lives alone in a subsidized apartment in the same building as her 72-year-old, unmarried sister,so rent should not increase. Emily and her sister shared an apartment for over 30 years, beginning when each of their marriages dissolved. Emily reported that when her sister began a romantic relationship 5 years ago, Emily began to feel very anxious and started to cry often. Emily moved into an apartment down the hall in the building and began to pull the hair from her head,hiding her hair loss by wearing wigs. This behavior occurred at different times and resulted in scabbing. Emily said she feels better after but does not always notice how much she is pulling. Her sister learned of Emily’s hair pulling after her wig slipped off one evening to reveal bald spots. She set up a schedule over the past few months with her sister to help stop the hair pulling. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnot. She is worried that she will be disappointing her sister by not sticking to the schedule to reduce her hair pulling. Her sister encouraged Emily to seek treatment rather than “hiding her ways.” Emily is reliant upon her sister for transportation and for a sense of social and emotional connection. Emily worries about bothering her sister due to her transportation needs,and she worriesthatwithouther sister she would be helpless.  She knows she is edgy with her sister often and worries that might be from a lack of good sleep. She agreed to this session even though she is pessimistic about anything working. During our initial visit at our local mental health center, Emily shared that when she was 2 years old her mother died from tuberculosis, and the following year her father, an army officer, died from colon cancer. After his death, Emily lived with her paternal aunt,from whom she felt no love. Her older brother and sister were placed in an orphanage and Emily was permitted to see them on Sundays. When it became apparent that the children were entitled to death benefits, Emily’s aunt agreed to take custody of all three 

 

siblings. The household then consisted of Emily’s paternal aunt, her husband (who Emily described as an alcoholic), their three children, and Emily and her two older siblings.Emily was briefly married in her early20s (4 years) but was disappointed and hurt by her husband’s infidelity. She moved in with her sister at that time. Emily reported it as an “anxious” time but denied hair pulling then. Emily also enrolled in a cosmetology school and liked her work. She had to stop working “for health reasons” when she was 58 years old. With all this going on in her life now, Emily feels tired a lotfromtrying to keep up with the cleanliness of the house,especially with her lack of mobility.She finds herself napping often. This then interferes with a restful sleep at night.When asked about her behaviors concerning her hair pulling, Emily reluctantly admitted that if she cannot get to her hair she will pick at a scab or skin.Generally, she avoided social situations so that her behavior is not exposed and worried what others would think of her. She denied other behavior rituals but became noticeably anxious at this question. When asked about “goals” if treatment was to be effective for her, Emily stated that she wanted to“cope better.Emily was collaborative during this assessment and engaged after a reluctant start.

Social workers take particular care when  diagnosing anxiety due to its similarity to other conditions. In this  Discussion, you carefully assess a client with anxiety disorder using  the steps of differential diagnosis. You also recommend an intervention  for treating the disorder.

 

To prepare:  Read “The Case of Emily P.” Review the decision trees for anxiety and  OCD in the Morrison (2014) text and the podcasts on anxiety. Then access  the Walden Library and research interventions for anxiety.

 

By Day 3

 

Post a 300- to 500-word response in which you address the following:

 

• Provide the full DSM-5 diagnosis for Emily. Remember, a full  diagnosis should include the name of the disorder, ICD-10-CM code,  specifiers, severity, and the Z codes (other conditions that may be a  focus of clinical attention).  Keep in mind a diagnosis covers the most  recent 12 months.
• Explain the diagnosis by matching the symptoms identified in the case to the specific criteria for the diagnosis.
• Discuss other disorders you considered for this diagnosis and eliminated (the differential diagnoses).
• Describe an evidence-based assessment scale that would assist in ongoing validation of your diagnosis.
• Recommend a specific intervention and explain why this intervention may be effective in treating Emily. Support your recommendation with scholarly references and resources. 

 

Note: You do not need to include an APA reference

Social workers need to be able to identify  cultural conceptions of illness and mental illness. Because studies show  that anxiety and depression differ from culture to culture and within cultures,  it is important to build skill using the Cultural Formulation Interview  (CFI) to elicit how an individual has actually incorporated their  cultural beliefs. While the core interview is a set of 16 questions,  more detailed versions expand on each area. In this Assignment, you  sensitively apply the CFI to your case collaboration partner as well as  research how to address and individualize anxiety resources for your  partner’s culture and needs.

 

To prepare:

 

• Read the Diaz (2017) article and take note of their experience using the CFI and the advantages they found in the process. Also note the minority stress concerns that arise in those working with anxiety issues in different cultures.
• Review the CFI questions and readings in the DSM-5 on cultural variations, syndromes, and idioms.
• Meet your collaboration partner and take turns administering the CFI  questions (and any needed subsections) to each other. Your partner will  role-play an anxiety issue but otherwise be as true to their own  situation as possible.
• Observe how the CFI administration process goes and take any notes  needed. Based on what you learn about your partner’s needs and culture, you may need to do further research in the suggested readings and library before submitting your Assignment.

 

 

 

Submit a 4-page paper, using the Diaz article as well as additional resources about culture, in which you do the following:

 

• Describe the skills or techniques you used to engage your partner during the CFI.
• Explain which aspects of the CFI were the most helpful in learning  about your partner’s personal view of the problem and situation from a  cultural perspective.
• Describe the cultural components (e.g., race/ethnicity, religion,  geographic region, socio-economic status, etc.) that may influence your  partner, and analyze how those cultural components influence their mental health experience.
• Identify which relevant subsections of the CFI you used. Explain why  you did (or did not) use a subsection as part of your assessment.
• Analyze how you, as a social work treatment provider, might adjust  interventions for the client (your partner), their individualized  circumstances, and culture of origin. Be specific and demonstrate  critical thought through application of concepts in resources.
• Recommend a specific evidence-based measurement instrument to  validate the diagnosis and assess outcomes of treatment. Explain any  cultural considerations you made when determining an appropriate  instrument, including whether or not the instrument was validated with  diverse populations.

There are challenges to agenda building that if  not dealt with carefully and skillfully can adversely affect an issue or  a proposal that you are trying to place in front of a decision maker.  On the other hand, no matter how expertly you build an agenda for your  issue or proposal, some issues are going to simply be avoided or not  selected for consideration. Why is this so?

 

In  this Small Group Discussion, you explore challenges surrounding policy  agendas and the reasons why some proposals never make it to the decision  maker.

 

 

 

Post your responses to the following questions presented for Small Group Discussion: Topic is Immigration 

 

• Many social issues do not receive the necessary attention from decision makers. Why might these issues be cast aside?
• Some issues lack sufficient support to ensure that they are added to decision-makers’ agendas. Why might this be?
• Some issues receive significant attention from decision makers. Why  might these issues easily find their way onto decision makers’ agendas?

 

Be sure to support your post with specific references to this week’s resources.

The CEO has asked you to take on the role of Project Manager for the business expansion project. As set out in the company’s Risk Management Policy and Procedures, the CEO is responsible for monitoring and reviewing the culture of risk management throughout the organisation, so they will work with you to develop the project’s risk management plan

 

Question 1

 

Identify project risk 

 

Review the scenario information, as well as the Risk Management Policy and Procedures. 

 

Review also the Risk Management Plan Template and the Risk Register Template 

 

Take project risk notes that include the following: 

 

 Identify risk objectives and standards. 

 

 Summary of the risk identification methods used to identify the project risks. 

 

 Establish the project risk context. 

 

 Identify an appropriate risk ranking system 

 

 Determine risk analysis classification criteria 

 

 Classify the identified risks within risk categories 

 

 Determine risk priorities 

 

You will be determining the risks and their context more clearly during the meeting with the project team, but these preliminary notes should demonstrate that you can identify the case study project’s risks yourself. 

 

Use the Risk Management Plan Template to record your work and save this document as Draft Risk Management Plan.

 

Qustion 2 

 

Analyse project risks 

 

Following the meeting, you are to perform an analysis of the project risks and incorporate this into the Risk Management Plan. 

 

Your risk management plan should include, as a minimum:

 Risk management objectives and standards 

 

 Risk identification methods 

 

 Risk categorisation process 

 

 industry sector risk classifications 

 

 Risk analysis classification criteria 

 

 Risk Management approaches 

 

 Risk monitoring and review processes: describe the frequency of regular risk monitoring to identify changed circumstances. Schedule a full review of the risk management process within six months of the new stores opening. 

 

 Risks identified: develop an initial list of risks to discuss at a meeting with senior Management. As a guide, this should be between 6 to 10 risks. 

 

 Classify project risks 

 

 Potential treatment methods: for each of the risks that you identify, suggest at least two potential treatment measures for discussion, including the strengths and weaknesses of measures of each for discussion at the meeting. 

 

Use your Draft Risk Management Plan to guide your work and save this version of the document as Risk Management Plan. 

 

Your risk management plan should be about four pages long.

 Chapter 1- Introduction to Tax

 

Chapter 2- Tax Compliance, IRS and Tax authorities

 

Chapter 3- Tax Planning strategies and related limitations

 

Chapter 4- Individual Income tax Overview, Dependents and filling status

 

 

 

I need 200-250 words Initial Post and then i will send post of one student, so you can reply it

 

 

 

The first four chapters present very different aspects of the federal tax system in the United States.  Please reflect on each of the chapters.  Select one chapter and create a short summary of the purpose and content of the chapter.  Identify the relationship of the chapter to one other of the remaining three chapters you have read.

 

For example, if you select chapter 1 and summarize the chapter 1 content, you should be able to recognize how that content relates to the subsequent chapters. I might write a paragraph summary that presents chapter 1 as an explanation of the purpose, structure, and history of the U.S. tax system. Of course, my paragraph would consist of more than one sentence.  I would then use this paragraph as a basis for comparison with chapter 2 which explains the structure in place to enforce compliance with the tax system in the U.S. 

 

This requires some thought.  The answers or the content will come out of your understanding of the topics.  Allow yourself ample time for thinking and reflection. The “writing” part should be relatively short.

Treatment Programs

 

Are correctional treatment programs effective? Are some types of programs more effective than others; if so, which types? Be sure to support your arguments with research and use examples of specific programs and program assessment data when possible.

Review Chapter 9 and Chapter 10 in your textbook. Next, consider the following questions:

 

• How are disputes handled when either labor or management believes that the other side is not negotiating in good faith, or when the two sides are otherwise unable to come to an agreement on mandatory bargaining topics?
• How are disputes handled when either labor or management believes that the other side is not following the terms of the collective bargaining agreement? How and why is this scenario different from disputes during the negotiation process?

 

Write an essay that addresses these topics in detail. You should not be writing a question and an answer; rather, write an essay that describes your understanding of these subjects, with the questions above as prompts to help steer your thoughts. The result should be a post that stands on its own as an academic paper, not a Q&A from a classroom assignment. (This will be helpful to you as you work on your Final Paper later in the course, so doing good work now will save you time later on.)

 

Use in-text citations to show where you are applying or discussing content from your textbook. In addition, be sure to cite where you are applying or discussing content from external research that you decide to use, if any. (External sources are not required, but are likely to help your grade.) End your post with a References list that gives the full details about the sources. In-text citations and References should be formatted according to APA standards.

 

Share your initial post in this Discussion board by Thursday evening. Give substantive responses to at least two classmates’ initial posts by Sunday evening. “Substantive” responses are not “Great post!” or “I like that you…” or “I agree…” type of reactions, but rather, thorough responses that include new connections to research, detailed examples from your own workplace experience, etc. Your classmates should always be learning something new from your responses.
