STRESS and COPING STRATEGIES

M‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌r. K is a 32-year-old man who was found in his apartment at 2 AM, babbling incoherently and apparently experiencing hallucinations. His friends report that he had been to a party that night and, since the recent breakup of his marriage and loss of his job, he tends to overdo it at social events. They report that during the evening, he consumed very little alcohol but did take a small pill given to him by another partygoer. Paramedics could find no puncture marks and no‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌ powder in or around the nose, but his blood pressure was elevated, as was his body temperature. He appeared dehydrated and agitated. What are some maladaptive coping strategies that we sometimes commonly see when an individual is dealing with stress? How might these strategies be more harmful to the individual than helpful? At least two sources must be used, including VanMeter, K., & Hubert, R. (2018). Gould’s Pathophysiology for the Health Profession (6th Ed.)‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‌‌‍‌‍‍‍‍‌‍‌‌.

Beowulf // Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Question on Beowulf: (500 words minimum)

Though the poem seems to deal with humanity’s battles with monsters, there are cracks in this narrative where it is shown that other humans are the real and enduring threat. In a well-thought out and organized essay, support this perspective with detailed evidence from the poem.

Question on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: (500 words minimum)

Though Sir Gawain “fails” in the end by accepting the girdle, the Green Knight thinks of him as “a pearl among white peas”. Since there is very little fighting in which Gawain participates, how is it that he could be considered a great knight? What does he really accomplish? Make sure your essay is thoughtful and organized, and uses detailed evidence from the poem.

Individual Development Plan attached for reference

In Topic 3, you completed an outline for your Individual Development Plan. At this point, you will select two activities to implement with your mentee. The two activities can be related to the same discipline or you can try and introduce separate activities that work on separate areas of growth. For example, if your mentee is working in listening skills, you can have the mentee create a written descriiption of personal experiences with listening over the past few weeks. This would allow you to use techniques to redirect the mentee’s listening behavior during certain experiences. In addition, you could task the mentee with the opportunity to engage in a listening activity with another coworker or friend. This scenario could utilize some of the techniques you provided based on results from the first activity. Or, you can develop an activity for listening and an activity for communicating with others. You need to evaluate your current mentoring experience and create activities that will benefit your learning experience and your mentee’s mentoring experience. You will have the next 2 weeks to complete this portion of your assignment. The activity can be a written requirement, physical requirement, or an activity that initiates a behavioral change over a predetermined timeframe. As your mentee is working through the activity, monitor the progress and utilize any coaching or mentoring techniques necessary to guide your mentee to be successful. You must spend a minimum of 3 hours monitoring and working with your mentee for each activity. If you are in a location that prevents conducting the activity face-to-face, please use technology or additional resources to ensure you are providing a positive coaching and mentoring experience for your mentee.

Complete a 250-500 word reflection on the information you have obtained through the monitoring process. This could consist of a performance indicator chart along with a brief explanation of the current status in the coaching/mentoring process. You are only required to submit your reflection at this time.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
