Charlie is a 3-year-old in a community preschool. The staff reports that he tends to put everything in his mouth and is frequently found eating dirt. A home visit by a school staff member to discuss the problems with his parents reveals a generally clean environment in a very old home that was being renovated. Recently, Charlie has been falling behind in academic skills compared with the other children in his class; his linear growth has slowed, and he is tired and irritable. His physician noted pallor and what look like “pencil lines” on the gums adjacent to his teeth. He ordered blood tests, which revealed a low hemoglobin level and an elevated lead level.
1. Based on the patient history, signs and symptoms, and lab test results, discuss the probable environmental factors responsible for Charlie’s ingestion of lead.
2. Discuss the other toxic effects of lead poisoning that Charlie might experience if the situation is not addressed.
3. Discuss other possible sources in children’s environments that have been identified as containing lead. if you need more details get in touch via : joselucky91@gmail.com

SCENARIO: Imagine that you work for a nonprofit organization that is focused on increasing diversity in community groups in your area. Your supervisor asks you to develop a sociological study concerning topics of diversity and collaboration in a specific community group of your choice. Eventually you will prepare to share your research with colleagues.
ASSIGNMENT: For this Touchstone, you will begin by formulating a question about diversity in a community group that you have access to. Then you will use the steps of the scientific method to draft research plan, including a bibliography for a literature review. As you learned, sociologists follow the scientific method so that their results are both scientifically valid and useful to the greater sociological community. A literature review allows researchers to learn from completed studies and to build upon their conclusions.
In particular, be sure to answer the following questions:
- What is the community group?
- What are the attributes or characteristics of this community group? (e.g. What activities does this group do together? What element of the members’ interests or identities brings them together? How is membership in the group defined, if at all?)
What kind of experience with or access to this community group do you have?
| Formulate a research question related to this group, and to topics related to diversity and/or collaboration. Write the question you have formulated for your study, and identify the independent and dependent variables.
Remember, an independent variable is a variable that causes or drives a change in outcome. A dependent variable is an effect, or a variable that is influenced by an independent variable. |

Support for Client Centered Concept MapConcept maps are a tool utilized by nursing to create an individualized plan
Support for Client Centered Concept MapConcept maps are a tool utilized by nursing to create an individualized plan of care. Interventions within the concept map should be based on evidence-based practice to meet the client’s needs. The attached concept map was created to plan the care for an eighteen-year-old African American male newly diagnosed with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. This paper aims to take the information from the concept map and explain it in detail.Client Needs AnalysisWhen assessing and interviewing this client, many areas of need were identified regarding health needs, economic situation and environmental factors, and cultural and family influences. These areas were narrowed down to three primary nursing diagnoses: Economic needs ineffective home maintenance, Ineffective health management, and Interrupted family process (Ladwig et al., 2020). The next step was addressing them in order of priority and urgency. The most urgent is the of Economic needs ineffective home maintenance, followed by Ineffective health management and finishing with the Interrupted family process.Economic Situation and Environmental FactorsThis client’s most urgent nursing diagnosis is the Economic needs ineffective home maintenance (Ladwig et al., 2020). The client shared information demonstrating that he has no financial stability to begin treating his HIV infection. He reported only having $500 in his bank account from a recent birthday. He did not disclose his current job and is relying on his significant other’s parents for basic needs, such as a place to sleep and food, after being kicked out of his home by his mother. In addition, he presented to today’s visit without a state-issued ID or insurance cards, though he claims to be covered by his father’s insurance until he is 25 years old. He stated his primary concern, and the most important thing to him, is aiding him in finding

Values are those ideals, principles, and qualities upon which we place great importance. Shared values are those that permeate throughout an organization, ones that receive buy-in across all levels.
Values are those ideals, principles, and qualities upon which we place great importance. Shared values are those that permeate throughout an organization, ones that receive buy-in across all levels. When values are aligned between leaders and the organization, they create an environment of trust, high employee engagement, positive interaction, and strong commitment to the organization. Those factors, in turn, lead to higher levels of performance, innovation, and results.
Evaluating values is one way to assess human behavior. Analyzing motivation is another way to do so. Several psychologists developed key theories that help us understand the concept of motivation.
For example:
Maslow (1943) identified five levels of human need (physiological, safety, social, ego, and selfactualization).
Maslow, A. H. (1943). A theory of human motivation. Psychological Review, 50. 370–396.
Skinner (1953) believed that employee behaviors that result in positive responses will be repeated.
Skinner, B. F. (1953). Science and human behavior. New York, NY: Simon & Schuster.
Herzberg (1959) identified two types of motivators, intrinsic (recognition and achievement) and extrinsic (job security, benefits, and salary).
Herzberg, F. (1959). The motivation to work. San Francisco, CA: Wiley.
Vroom (1964) stated that employee output leads to performance and performance leads to rewards. Employees are motivated by how strongly they perceive the output/performance/rewards links.
Vroom, V. H. (1964). Work and motivation. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass.
Adams (1965) theorized that employees seek equity among themselves.
Adams, J. S. (1965). Inequity in social exchange. In L. Berdowtz (Ed.). Advances in experiential social psychology (pp. 267–299). New York, NY: Academic Press.
Organizational research tends to suggest that leaders need to find ways to prevent de-motivation and ways to activate higher order motivators to build high performance and extraordinary organizations
For this week’s discussion, we’ll use a brief case study: Just-in-Time Company has had a longstanding culture of shared values including customer satisfaction, learning, respect, generosity, compassion, equality, and social justice.
The new CEO, Tina Jones, has worked long and hard in her career. She broke through the glass ceiling and earned the top seat in the company C-suite. Tina impressed the board of directors with her expertise, drive, and long list of accomplishments.
What the board did not discover, however, is that Tina’s primary motivation is the advancement of herself and her career; she hopes to be at the helm of Just-in-Time only as long as necessary before she pursues a more prestigious position at a larger company. Tina’s values are rapid career growth, money, status, public recognition, and earning a reputation as a no-nonsense, results-driven executive.
Begin your discussion by evaluating the issues you foresee with Tina as the new CEO.
- In particular, assess the role of values and motivation in the scenario by researching and applying one (or more) of the motivational theories surveyed above.
- What are some behaviors that Tina is likely to exhibit?
- What is the likely effect on the culture and climate of the organization?
This portion of your discussion should be about 1 page (500 words) in length.
Continue your discussion by analyzing the strategic leadership interventions that might be needed in this situation. Assume the role of consultant to recommend two interventions. Integrate the values and motivation concepts with the strategic leadership material that you have been studying in the course to formulate your recommendations. For example, what synergistic (shared) values do you see between her and the current organization that might be leveraged? Support your responses with rationale and with scholarly research.
This section of your discussion should also be about 1 page (500 words) in length.
The final paragraph (three or four sentences) of your initial post should summarize the one or two key points that you are making in your initial response.
Your initial posting should be the equivalent of 1 to 2 pages (500– 1000 words) in length.
