Day: December 29, 2019

You have now become familiar with the group members in the Evolution of a Group video by viewing their journey through the initial stage of the group. In the transition stage, the group prepares to engage in a deeper level of work. This transition stage requires group members to engage in self-disclosure, to risk becoming vulnerable, and to display mutual respect as the process unfolds. As the work deepens during this stage, some problematic behaviors may emerge among group members.

 

To lead the group effectively, leaders must understand what types of challenges to expect and be prepared to address these challenges in order for the group to move into the working stage. Leaders must also be aware of their own reactions to the group process and to the members to effectively facilitate the transition stage of group. Leaders are not immune to strong reactions to group members or co-leaders. As a future group counselor, you must be aware of your own reactions and be able to remain objective in leading group members. Counselors sometimes minimize the importance of this information. This level of advanced self-awareness for the leader comes though intentional self-examination, training, and supervision.

 

For this Discussion, you explore the challenges of the transition stage and consider strategies you could use as a group leader to address these challenges. You will also imagine yourself to be a group member and examine your experience as you view the group during the transition stage.

 

To prepare:

• Watch Segment 3, “The Transition Stage” of the Evolution of a Group video.
• Note and reflect on your mental, emotional, and physical reactions to the video. Notice whether you felt defensive or numb, found yourself getting irritated, gasped, sighed, lost your concentration, or became overly sympathetic.
• Review Part III, “The Transition Stage” in Groups in Action: Evolution and Challenges (pp. 30–39) to give context to the video.
• Select one challenging group members’ behavior from the video segment to use for this Discussion. This should be a situation that would be a challenge for you if you were the counselor for this group.

Observation Post:
For the observation post, you will respond as if you were the group leader.

 

• 1. Post an example of a defensive or avoidant behavior or a conflict that you observed that would be a challenge for you as the group leader. This should be a situation that exemplifies the transition stage of the group as demonstrated in the video.
• 2. Briefly share your observation (include the time stamp and member’s name).
• 3. Describe a leader skill or strategy you might use to facilitate the group through your chosen example.
• 4. Provide a description or interpretation of the underlying dynamic that you sense is emerging in this transition stage of the group.

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research the conditions affecting the musculoskeletal and the neurologic systems. Based on your research and understanding, respond to one of the following scenarios:

 

A 58-year-old female is admitted for a work up for a complaint of neck and low back pain. During admission, you discover that she underwent a renal transplant six years ago. The patient also had blood work collected. When you review the findings, you notice that her serum calcium is elevated at 13.9 (Normal values range from 8.5 to 10.2 mg/dl), her CBC shows a hematocrit of 33%, and hemoglobin of 11.1 g/dl (normal adult female hematocrit Range: 37-47%, normal adult female hemoglobin range: 12-16 g/dl).

What does this mean and what could be the underlying cause of her pain and her abnormal lab values?

What other assessments would be helpful?

 

Ketogenic Valley best weight loss spa should be able to meet all your needs. They should be able not only to help you lose weight during your stay with them, but also to help you start keeping that weight off your premises with better eating habits and an exercise program. Although they are usually grouped together to offer weight control programs, the spas we just reviewed have different approaches unique to them.

Budokon’s weight loss system is one of the best ways to lose weight because it not only helps you lose weight, but it can also improve your mind, Ketogenic Valley body and spirit. If you want to go through Budokon’s weight loss system, you must make sure you are prepared to practice yoga and martial arts combined. Keep in mind that Budokon’s practice gives importance to Zen alignment, precision and mind.

All techniques involved in the Budokon weight loss system require the full range of body movement. This can challenge and improve its power, flow, balance, speed, control and agility. These can be divided into two themes that depend on each other:

1. Budokon Yogic Series: mainly influenced by the alignment and techniques of yoga Ashtanga and Iyengar, it focuses mainly on precision, power, control and calm. This works not only to improve your range of motion and strength, but also explores your body’s ability to support another person’s weight.

  

2. Budokon Budo series: your goal is to teach the focus, the flow in the body and mind, theIf you are looking for a weight loss supplement for body building, your best option would probably be to choose a product that contains creatine. Creatine is a natural compound in the body. It is made up of three amino acids: glycine, methionine and arginine. Your liver has the ability to combine these three amino acids and produce creatine. The only other way to get creatine in your body is through food and by taking creatine supplements. So what happens if your body building weight loss supplement contains creatine? This is what creatine does for your body.

Your body uses ATP (adenosine triphosphate) during anaerobic exercise. During anaerobic exercise, ATP is divided into two components: inorganic phosphate and ADP (adenosine diphosphate). This breakdown of ATP is what creates the fuel used by your muscles to contract. Your ATP stores remain for approximately 10 to 15 seconds with maximum effort. After that, your muscles can no longer function with maximum effort. Taking weight loss supplements for body building that contain creatine can create more fuel for the body through this process. Most of the creatine found in skeletal muscles binds with phosphorus, becoming creatine phosphate. Creatine phosphate binds with the additional reserves of ADP that then create ATP for your body. More ATP stores, more fuel for your body.

1. Case Study

Parse’s theory focuses on quality of life and is from each person’s perspective. The concept of valuing at the level of human experiences focuses on the ways persons choose and act on what is important in their lives.  

The hospice nurse sat with Ann’s husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room’s only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye, and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann’s bedside, he took her small, fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. “She would ride like the wind was chasing her.” Looking back to Ann, his voice broke, choking back tears. “Ann, Ann, I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling.” Ben turned, “Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died, it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie’s husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night.” Ben turned back as a deep sigh escaped from Ann’s lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.

• Based on this case study, how would the nurse actualize Parse’s theory of Human Becoming?

Make sure the first line of your paper is the title and is centered and NOT bold. You must have an intro paragraph that introduces all the topics of your paper. You will then address the question above and will have a level header Actualization.

• What are the characteristics of a human becoming nurse?  What are the strengths and weaknesses of this theory of nursing?

This section should be at least one paragraph with a level header Strengths and Weaknesses. Think about how to apply this theory. Would it work for every setting?  

 What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?

This section should have a level header Challenge and should include at least two reasons. Make sure you explain why it is a challenge in detail.

• How might Parse’s understanding of transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann’s death became a reality to Ben?

This section should have a level header Transcendence and should use key words from the theory to tie into the case study.

• From the nursing theories we have discussed, what additional theory would you apply to this case study? Develop a plan of care to include both nursing theories (be specific and provide reasons)

This section should have a level header Additional theory. Why did you select this theory? How can you apply it to this case study? Again, make sure to use key words from the theory. Make sure you have a conclusion paragraph that sums up the content of your paper and has a level one header Conclusion.

The APA formatted paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be between 1250 and 1500 words in length.
