It would be difficult to work in groups when you all might have different times you’re available to work. Plus, it would be super difficult not being able to work together face-to-face. So, we’re going to move on to the next assignment. We will spend the remainder of the semester working on the final research essay. This is the start. For this class, you will write an 8-10 page argumentative/research essay. Before you can begin this, you will first need to choose a topic. Do not begin working on the essay until your topic has been approved. Here is some information about the essay that will help you with choosing a topic. After viewing this information, look below it to find the assignment for the topic proposal. Comp II Final Essay The Beginning

Discuss human service.

Julia is a 12-year-old girl who lives with her 62-year-old maternal grandmother, Beatrice, and her two older twin brothers, Juan and Sam, age 13. They live in a two-bedroom apartment in an inner city neighborhood in Brooklyn; Julia shares a bedroom with her grandmother and the two boys have the other bedroom. The apartment is clean but it is small and the furniture is old and very shabby. They are supported by SSI, food stamps and section 8 housing; there is clearly not enough money even for necessities. Julia is of average height but she is overweight for a girl her age; she has long brown hair which sometimes looks dirty and her clothes, bought at the thrift store, are clothes that a middle-aged woman would wear (her grandmother picks them out for her and then brings them home). She wears glasses. Julia has no friends; she is never invited to parties or to other girls’ houses and doesn’t feel comfortable inviting anyone to hers. She is ashamed of the furniture and she is ashamed that she is sharing a bedroom with her grandmother. She gets along well with her brothers but she doesn’t spend much time with them. The twins are very close to each other and are involved in sports at school. They also have many friends and are often not home. So Julia spends her time in the apartment, doing homework, watching TV or playing cards with her grandmother. She is not allowed outside unless Beatrice is with her. She has never been to a movie in her life. Academically Julia is doing fairly well in school and gets above average grades. She is quiet and polite and always follows the rules, which is clearly not the case with most of the other students in the school. She is well liked by her teachers but has been described by them as ‘extremely shy’ and ‘even withdrawn.’ She usually eats alone in the lunchroom. There have been several instances where some other girls have made fun of Julia and made her cry and often Julia cries herself to sleep at night. The school social worker asked to see Beatrice and was going to suggest counseling for Julia but Beatrice never responded to the social worker’s request. When Julia was six and her brothers seven, they came home from school one day and their mother, Sonia, was gone. Beatrice said she had ‘gone away’ and didn’t explain further. Beatrice and Sonia have never gotten along, especially during the last several years when Beatrice was angry that she had to give up her own job to look after her daughter’s three children and that Sonia never spent any time with them. Beatrice believed that Sonia walked out because of this on-going conflict between them but she didn’t discuss this with Julia, Juan or Sam. Beatrice was never appointed as a guardian or foster parent; she just took over when Sonia left (which is why they don’t receive TANF.) Beatrice has lived with Julia and her brothers since they were born. She provided adequate physical care of them (food, clothing, medical care, etc.) but she took no interest in their schoolwork or in their social lives. She never showed any affection towards them and rarely even spoke to them, even though they were often all in the same room at the same time. She seemed to be even more distant after Sonia left. Beatrice, herself, has no social life, stating that she always has to remain home with her grandchildren. She spends her days watching TV. Julia’s mother, Sonia, is 29 years old and lives in the Bronx, supported by TANF. She is a single parent and also has a four-year-old son and a six-month-old daughter who both live with her. There is no father in the picture but being outgoing and very attractive, she dates often. Sonia gave birth to Julia and the twins when she was very young and she brought them home to live with her and Beatrice in the same apartment Julia is living in now. Sonia had a job as a waitress and spent most of her spare time with her friends so she rarely saw her children. Julia and her brothers never met their father. They were told that he was deceased but it’s not clear whether this is true or even if they have the same father. Sonia sees Julia and her brothers on their birthdays and maybe two or three other times during the year even though she lives less than an hour away. She is usually very late picking them up. For Christmas she sends them a card with a few dollars in it and she calls them every month or so. Julia, Juan and Sam don’t express any feelings one way or the other about contact with their mother but they state that they ‘have fun’ with her. Sonia has never asked that they come to live with her and she has not really demonstrated any love or caring towards them.

Discuss some of the issues and challenges that may arise from the hospital sponsoring a concierge practice of medicine.

A new primary care physician moved into the area and approached your hospital to partner with her as she begins a new practice in the community. Because the administration is always anxious to welcome new practitioners to the hospital, you agree to meet with the physician. During the meeting, the physician explains that she wants to establish the first concierge medical practice in the community. The physician plans to attract around 100 families to her practice, and she plans to charge from $300 to $1,000 per month, depending on the size of the family unit. (Note: A goal of 100 families may not be realistic; however, the number makes for easier calculations). The patients who join the concierge practice will receive access to the physician’s services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at an office located near the hospital. Families will receive preventive care services, and the physician will design wellness programs to encourage healthy lifestyles for her patients. The physician will use the hospital for all emergent care, day surgeries, rehabilitation, and in-patient care. The physician also plans to use nutritionists and the hospital’s fitness center facilities.In this case study. Discuss some of the goods or services that could be highlighted in a marketing campaign that involves a concierge practice of medicine. What advantages do you think a concierge practice of medicine might contribute to the hospital’s offerings of products to the community?

Discuss Treatment Plan Mood Disorders.

Andrew, a 26-year-old male with bipolar disorder type 1. He works outside in construction. Create a treatment plan for your assigned patient using the American Psychiatric Association’s guidelines (if applicable) and at least two peer-review articles. Address the following: 1-What medication(s) would you start your patient on? Include the starting, tapering up, and maintenance doses, and patient education. Why did you choose this medication? 2-Initial lab and blood tests. 3- What type of therapy would work best for your patient?

Describe the “Hancock” – Kinematics.

In this virtual Lab will practice and review kinematics and motion with constant acceleration. You will use as motivational tool a clip from movie “Hancock” which you can see directly from youtube or via a link in Module 2: One dimensional motion at Canvas. The youtube link is attached: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZCDU6qtbTU In the scene Hancock throws a bully in the air and after some time he falls back on the ground where Hancock catches him to safety. Assume that the motion is one dimensional along the y axis. Neglect friction and assume that the bully’s motion is affected only by gravity. Choose an appropriate coordinate system (aka frame of reference) with the appropriate positive direction. Place the origin (the zero) at a convenient point. Write down the bully’s initial conditions, that is his coordinate and velocity at t=0. If you don’t know any of these it will be an unknown variable and use a letter to designate it. Think about and decide what kind of motion is this. Then write down the equations describing the motion. Plug into these equations the initial conditions of the bully and use these equations to find: What was the bully’s initial speed when launched by Hancock? Express the speed in meters per second and miles per hour (mph). What was the bully’s maximum height? What is the bully’s speed when he reaches the ground for a second time? Compare his final speed with his initial speed. The film does not give us a lot of information but you can measure the flight time that is the time from the moment the bully left Hancock’s hand (t=0) until the time he returned back to the initial point and Hancock grabbed him. You can use your watch to measure it or you can use the timer shown at the video clip. Then you can use this time in the equations of motion you get the answers at the first 2 questions. You can use in your calculations g = 10 m/s2 for simplicity. Since you know the bully’s arrival time and you have already found his initial velocity you can use these values at one of the kinematical equations describing the motion and you can find the bully’s final velocity when he reaches the ground once more. Write all your thoughts and calculations in your lab report and submit one report per student.
