I’m stuck on a Powerpoint question and need an explanation.

Human factors are considered the weakest link to security, which makes it crucial to change user behavior. The changes primarily consist of workplace behavior, and work activities to stay compliant with standards, guidelines, and procedures of the security policy. Behavior modification involves some level of learning of the user.

You are the security trainer of a cloud service provider, research the threats, common workplace problems, issues, human errors, and others that relate to an employee working in the Information Technology field, then create a workplace security program.

A few ideas to get started are encrypting hard drives, no outside storage devices can be brought to work, awareness of threats internal and external.

teaching psychology week 8

I need help with a Psychology question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Over the course of your teaching career, you will come in contact with many students. Certainly, that contact has an impact on their lives. However, can you make a difference in the world beyond the influence your teaching has on individual students? How might your teaching contribute to social change?

For this Discussion, review and study this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how your view of the teaching of psychology might relate to social change beyond the individual-student level. Then think about examples that illustrate the relationship between social change and teaching.

With these thoughts in mind:

a brief description of how teaching of psychology might relate to social change beyond the individual student level. Then describe two examples that illustrate the relationship between social change and teaching.

Be sure to support your post with specific references to the Learning Resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full, APA-formatted citations for your references.

Template

Statement of Teaching Philosophy Template

Based upon (Chism, 1998), “Developing a Philosophy of Teaching Statement,”

See for additional guidance: http://ucat.osu.edu/read/teaching-portfolio/philosophy/guidance

Title

Your name

1. Conceptualization of learning

Ask yourself such questions as “What do we mean by learning?” and “What happens in a learning situation?” Think of your answers to these questions based on your personal experience. Chism (1998) points out that some teachers have tried to express and explain their understanding of learning through the use of metaphors because drawing comparisons with known entities can stimulate thinking, whether or not the metaphor is actually used in the statement. On the other hand, most instructors tend to take a more direct approach in conceptualizing learning, i.e., they describe what they think occurs during a learning episode, based on their observation and experience or based on current literature on teaching and learning.

2. Conceptualization of teaching

Ask yourself questions such as “What do we mean by teaching?” and “How do I facilitate this process as a teacher?” Chism (1998) suggests that personal teaching beliefs as to how the instructor facilitates the learning process would be appropriate for this section. Again, the metaphor format can be used, but a common practice is a more direct description of the nature of a teacher with respect to motivating and facilitating learning. Along with the questions above, you may also address such issues as how to challenge students intellectually and support them academically and how the teacher can respond to different learning styles, help students who are frustrated, and accommodate different abilities. Furthermore, you may talk about how you, as a teacher, have come to these conclusions (e.g., through past experience as a student or teacher, or as a result of reading the literature or taking classes).

3. Goals for students

This section should entail the description of what skills you, as the teacher, expect your students to obtain as the result of learning. You may address such issues as what goals you set for your classes, what the rationale behind them is, what kind of activities you try to implement in class in order to reach these goals, and how the goals have changed over time as you learn more about teaching and learning. For instance, you can describe how you have expected students to learn not only the content but also skills such as critical thinking, writing, and problem solving, followed by elaboration on how you have designed/planned individual sessions toward accomplishing the goals.

4. Implementation of the philosophy

An important component of the statement of a teaching philosophy should be the illustration of how your concepts about teaching and learning and goals for students are transformed into classroom activities. Ask yourself, “How do I operationalize my philosophy of teaching in the classroom?” and “What personal characteristics in myself or my students influence the way in which I approach teaching?” To answer these questions, you may reflect on how you present yourself and course materials; what activities, assignments, and projects you implement in the teaching-learning process; how you interact with students in and outside class; and the consequences.

5. Professional growth plan

It is important for teachers to continue professional growth; and to do so, teachers need to set clear goals and means to accomplish these goals. Think about questions such as “What goals have I set for myself as a teacher?” and “How do I accomplish these goals?” You can elaborate this plan in your statement of teaching philosophy. For instance, you can illustrate how you have professionally grown over the years, what challenges exist at the present, what long-term development goals you have projected, and what you will do to reach these goals. Chism (1998) suggests that writing this section can help you think about how your perspectives and actions have changed over time. Consider professional conferences that might help your growth.

WK 9 Part 1: JOURAL

Reflect on a patient who presented with postpartum depression during your Practicum Experience. Describe the patient’s personal and medical history, drug therapy and treatments, and follow-up care. Then, explain the implications of the patient’s postpartum depression, including how this might impact the entire family unit. If you did not have an opportunity to evaluate a patient with this background during the last nine weeks, you may select a related case study from a reputable source or reflect on previous clinical experiences.

WK 10 Part 1: JOURNAL

Reflect on a patient who presented with a cardiovascular, neurologic, respiratory, or gastrointestinal disorder during your Practicum Experience. Describe the patient’s personal and medical history, drug therapy and treatments, and follow-up care. Then, explain how the patient’s gender might have impacted or influenced her care. If you did not have an opportunity to evaluate a patient with this background during the last 10 weeks, you may select a related case study from a reputable source or reflect on previous clinical experiences.

WK 10 Part 2: AssignmentApplication – Best Practice

For over 20 years, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study has conducted research trials to examine factors that impact risks and development of conditions that impact women such as heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. Health care providers use results from these trials to develop guidelines for delivering care to patients. In your role in clinical settings, you must be familiar with these guidelines, and you must be aware that through clinical practice, guidelines frequently evolve and change. Often, what is considered a best practice today might not be a best practice in the future. For this Assignment, you compare guidelines outlined in the WHI study to current best practices for assessing and managing conditions.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Women’s Health Initiative website in this week’s Learning Resources. Select one disorder presented in this study. (https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/science/womens-health-in…)
  • Locate a research article focused on women’s health issue that you have learned about on the Women’s Health Initiative project. Be sure that the research article you select is from a reputable source.
  • Discuss the best practices presented in the article about the health issue. Explain if there are any differences in the literature about best practices about health issue.
  • Explain whether you think the current best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice. Support your position with evidence-based research.

To Complete:

Write a 3-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Describe the disorder you selected from the Women’s Health Initiative study.
  • Explain the current best practices for assessing and managing this disorder as suggested in the research article you selected.
  • Compare the best practices presented in the WHI study to the current best practices presented in the article. Explain how the differences in best practices might impact women’s health.
  • Explain whether you think the current best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice. Support your position with evidence-based research.

WK 10 part 3 Discussion: Diagnosing and Managing Common Cardiovascular and Neurologic Conditions

Cardiovascular and neurologic conditions are among the leading causes of death and hospitalization of women in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008a). As an advanced practice nurse, you must routinely monitor patients at risk of these conditions and recommend the appropriate health screenings and preventive services. When assessing patients for these conditions, it is important to keep in mind that while some female patients might present with typical signs and symptoms, others might present with atypical signs and symptoms that are unique to women. For this Discussion, consider signs and symptoms presented by the women in the following case studies and develop differential diagnoses:

Case Study 1

A 48-year-old overweight African American female is in the clinic for a wellness visit. A routine fasting lipid panel returned with the following results:

  • Total cholesterol: 305 mmol/L
  • Low-density lipoprotein (LDL): 180 mg/dl
  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL): 30 mg/dl
  • Triglycerides: 165 mg/dl

Case Study 2

You are seeing a 63-year-old African American female for a two-week history of intermittent chest pain. The pain varies in intensity and resolves with rest. She does not believe it has increased over time. She is a nonsmoker with a history of hypertension treated with Lisinopril 10 mg once daily. She had an exercise stress test one year ago that was within normal limits. Her physical exam findings are as follows: HR–90, BP–150/92, R–22, O2Sat 98% RA; lungs: clear to auscultation bilaterally; cardiovascular: apical pulse of 90 RRR, no rubs, murmurs, or gallops. Chest wall mildly tender to palpation that reproduces her complaint of pain. Extremities include no clubbing, cyanosis, or edema. The remainder of the exam is within normal limits.

Case Study 3

A 32-year-old Asian American female is in the clinic for a history of recurrent headaches for the past year, occurring monthly, lasting up to 12–18 hours. The headaches are sometimes associated with photophobia, nausea, and vomiting. She takes either acetaminophen or ibuprofen for relief that is not always successful. She uses Ortho Tricyclin for birth control. Her physical exam is within normal limits.

To prepare:

  • Review Chapter 8 of the Tharpe et al. text and the McSweeney et al. article in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Review and select one of the three provided case studies. Analyze the patient information.
  • Consider a differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected. Think about the most likely diagnosis for the patient.
  • Reflect on the appropriate clinical guidelines. Think about a treatment and management plan for the patient. Be sure to consider appropriate dosages for any recommended pharmacologic and/or nonpharmacologic treatments.
  • Consider strategies for educating patients on the treatment and management of the disorder you identified as your primary diagnosis.

By Day 3

Post an explanation of the differential diagnosis for the patient in the case study you selected. Explain which is the most likely diagnosis for the patient and why. Then, based on the appropriate clinical guidelines, explain a treatment and management plan for the patient, including proper dosages for any recommended treatments. Finally, explain strategies for educating patients on the disorder.
