Maury is a young clinical psychologist who is new to private practice, and is working on a fee-for-service basis, meaning he doesnt take insurance.

One of the clients he has been treating is a 20-year old man who was referred by his parents whom Maury had seen previously to consult on parenting for their younger child. This patient still depends on his parents financially, and they were writing the checks the client would bring to pay for therapy.

After a few months in which good progress seemed to be made, the client suddenly grew dissatisfied and began devaluing Maury and the treatment; he unexpectedly quit therapy, still owing an unpaid balance of over $600.

Maury had a good relationship with the clients parents, and he is confident they would be happy to pay the balance. However, the client is an adult, and Maury does not have a signed Release of Information stating he can speak with the clients parents.

Discuss what Maury can do to recover the unpaid balance. What ethical issues and concerns should he keep in mind? How might he avoid such a situation in the future?

Refer back to the project scenario. What if, from a young age, Caiden has always enjoyed very physically active play such as running and crashing into his surroundings? What if he loves bear hugs, and has always been soothed by vigorous back rubs? How might his dad Brian interpret his misbehavior at school differently? How might that impact Brians behavior plan?

Handwashing and use of antimicrobial chemicals (such as alcohol based hand sanitizers) are effective ways to prevent the spread of microorganisms, particularly in the health care setting.

For your initial post, imagine that you are infection control nurse tasked with educating personnel on a large medical/surgical unit that has recently seen an increase in hospital acquired infections (HAIs) in their patients. Describe how you would educate personnel about the importance of handwashing and increase handwashing compliance amongst the staff?
