Addiction truly is a disease that does not discriminate, and despite fame, fortune and/or occupation, in the eyes of substance abuse, everyone is fair game. Proof of that can be seen in the all-too-common reports of famous celebrities who publicly struggle with addiction or experience a relapse. There is a very dark side to the access that accompanies fame, and the constant media exposure can make it seem as if celebrities are more prone to addiction than the average person.

For this you will examine drug and alcohol addiction in the life of the rich and famous. You will also discuss their journey toward recovery, relapse, and abstinence. Chose ONE of the celebrities in the URL link below and respond to the following. Your response should be completed using a minimum of 3 pages in proper format, double-spaced, 12 pt. Times Roman, and in APA format. Use a minimum of three credible articles and prepare a reference page. Submit Part I & II via the same drop box.

Click on the link below to choose and conduct research on ONE celebrity to complete this (NOTE: DO NOT use Wikipedia as a resource):

https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/ss/slideshow-celebs-addiction-recovery

Part I

1) Examine and discuss the history of your chosen celebrity’s drug and alcohol abuse.

2) At what point did the celebrity become aware of their addiction? What method of treatment did they undergo (i.e., treatment center, rehabilitation agency, who was the substance abuse counselor that supported their recovery).

3) What is the celebrity’s current state in the recovery cycle?

PART II

1) Discuss the Relapse Prevention Model.

2) Image that the celebrity client you choose experienced a relapse and has been assigned to you as their substance abuse counselor. Use the Relapse Prevention Model to get your celebrity client back on track to abstinence.

• At what point would you introduce the RPM during therapy? Explain.
• Two years later, suppose your celebrity client, who has been recovering for sometime, recently begun to make subtle changes in his/her life. You become aware that he/she had stopped going to meetings in his/her support group, that he/she had stopped his/her regular regimen of exercise, and that he/she had started to associate with drug & alcohol-using friends. As the substance abuse counselor, what would you do? Be as specific as possible (include open-end questions, treatment modality, etc.)

Was the male population ever greater than the female population? Are there enough data to create a model for a hundred years or more? Explain your answers. 4. Notice that the data in Table 7.9 give information for a span of only 15 years. This is often not enough information to accurately answer the questions asked above. Data over a small period often appear to be linear and can be modeled with a linear equation that works well over that limited domain. Table 7.10 gives more data. Now use these data to plot the number of males versus time and females versus time, using 1890 as year zero. 5. Notice that these data in Table 7.10 do not seem to be linear. Often, you may remember from Chapter 3, a logistic model is used to model population growth. Find the logistic regression model for each data plot.

Go to the U.S. Census Bureau Web site (www.census.gov). How does your model predict the populations for the current year? 7. Use the census data for 2000. What percentage of the population is male and what percentage is female? 2. What do the slope and y-intercept mean in each equation? 3. What conclusions can you draw? According to these models, will the male population ever become greater than the 8. Go to the U.S. Census Bureau Web site (www.census.gov) and use the most recent data along with the concepts from this chapter to collect and analyze other data.

The “Nursing Education Practicum Documentation (NEPD) Forms” provide weekly, competency-based documentation of nursing education practicum activities and are utilized by learners to communicate practicum experiences to course faculty.

Be sure to read the instructions on the form for information on how to complete the assignment before you begin.

In Topic 6, you completed the “Overall Nursing Education Practicum Goals (Topic 6)” section of the “Nursing Education Practicum Documentation (NEPD) Goals Form” by writing the overall goals (S.M.A.R.T. goals or objectives) for your nursing education practicum.

In this topic, you will re-address these goals by completing the second part of the form, “Evaluation of Overall Nursing Education Practicum Goals (Topic 16),” to evaluate if these goals have been met. Utilize the same document you submitted in Topic 6 and add your evaluation of the overall nursing education practicum goals in the second section of the form.

Health Information Technology Standards and Interoperationality Module 3 – Health Information Technology Standards and Interoperability Health IT standards are agreed-upon technical specifications used widely for the exchange of health information among healthcare providers. Standards are developed both by national and international Standard Development Organizations– SDOs (developed by consensus), government (mandatory for compliance), professionals (de facto used by majority) and companies (ad hock for specific purpose). Interoperability requires healthcare systems to communicate with each other using these standards. The most used standards in health information systems for interoperability are HL7 (Health Level 7), RxNorm (Normalized Names of Clinical Drugs), LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes), DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine), PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), and FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources), discussed in this module. Module 3 Objectives: After completing this module, you should be able to: 1. Differentiate between various types of health information exchange standards. 2. Assess the role of SDOs in the development of health information exchange standards. 3. Assess the role of HL7 in health information systems interoperability. 4. Examine the standards used in Pharmacies, Clinical Labs, and Radiology.

DICOM PACS What is FHIR? https://youtu.be/h38JZvoFoRA Assignment 3 (Interoperability) Assignment FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) is called the nextgeneration interoperability standard to enable clinical and administrative health data exchange quickly and efficiently. Write a report on FHIR addressing the following: • • • • What is the purpose of FHIR and its core capabilities? What are its current versions and applications? What is a FHIR API and how does it support interoperability? Conduct research and find one peer-reviewed article that provides an example of the FHIR standard used for a healthcare application. Summarize the key points of the article and explain why it was of interest. Your APA formatted report comprising 2-4, double-spaced, typed in 12point Times New Roman (or 11- point Calibri) excluding the Cover and Reference pages should be submitted by Tuesday mid-night. Use credible evidence to support your findings. Discussions Imagine you are acquiring an Electronic Healthcare Record (EHR) system but are already using a Practice Management (PM) system. Your supervisor asks you if the new EHR system would integrate with the existing PM system. You ask this question to the EHR vendor who says “yes” so long as the PM system is compatible with the EHR. What determines compatibility between PM and EHR systems? Which healthcare standard(s) ensures both clinical and administrative information compatibility between the two systems? What are the pros and cons of using this standard? What are the prospects of using this standard for providing compatibility between other such systems? Your initial post comprising a minimum of 250 words should contain at least 2–3 peer-reviewed references should words supporting, challenging, clarifying.

Final Project – Stage One

Hide Assignment InformationTurnitin™This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin™.Instructions

For the Final Project, you will select at least one film that represents your career or career goals.  For example, if you are working toward a cybersecurity degree or already working in an IT field, you could choose a film that relates to Artificial Intelligence, such as A.I., Her, or M3gan.  If you are a business major, a film such as The Big Short, Wolf of Wall Street, How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying, or Moneyball.  Your project can either be a paper or a presentation (such as a narrated PowerPoint or video essay).  

This is both an analysis and research essay.  You will examine the film(s) and discuss how it relates to your field: how accurate is it, does it present a positive or negative view, does it offer insights into the field?   How does the film use the production elements we have discussed (direction, cinematography, production design, sound, editing, and acting) to convey its theme? 

Research reviews and analysis of the film to see how others view it.  Include articles and analysis from people in the field as well as outside of the field.

The Final Project is broken up into three stages:

• Stage One – due at the end of Week Three
• Stage Two – due at the end of Week Five
• Stage Three – due at the end of Week Seven

Select the button below to submit your work.

Submit your proposed film and field of study.  it should not be a film we watch for the course or that was used in a discussion.  It must be approved by your professor.  No two students will be permitted to research and write about the same subject.  This is first come, first served opportunity, so it is suggested that you submit your idea to the Discussion: Project Proposal at your earliest convenience.   Once approved by your professor, submit a proposal to the Stage One Assignment.  Your proposal must include the following for full points:
