Describe the impact of antipsychotic medications on the person who is taking them and discuss strategies that you can use to help the client optimize treatment.
Many individuals with Schizophrenia or other psychotic illnesses have trouble believing that they are ill. The compliance with medication is further challenged with negative side effects of antipsychotic medications. Describe the impact of antipsychotic medications on the person who is taking them and discuss strategies that you can use to help the client optimize treatment. Be sure to include a discussion of how you could work with the prescriber.
What are some of the challenges associated with the use of antianxiety medications and the treatment of anxiety?
What are some of the challenges associated with the use of antianxiety medications and the treatment of anxiety? Do some independent research to identify current “best practices” in the treatment of anxiety disorders. Where do antianxiety drugs “fit” with best practices? Be sure to include a discussion of how you could work with the prescriber
Discuss some of the pharmacologic challenges of prescribing for those who have major depressive or bipolar disorder.
Discuss some of the pharmacologic challenges of prescribing for those who have major depressive or bipolar disorder. Emphasis should be placed on how you as a therapist can help the client work through ambivalence about taking medications to treat the selected disorder. Be sure to include a discussion of how you could work with the prescriber.
Briefly describe the author’s hypothesis, experiments, methods and results.
The total amount of writing (minus my prompts) should be around 310
words. The length of each response is up to you, but you need to respond to each and
end up with around 310 words of writing.
PROMPT 1: Dan, here is quick my book report-level summary of the paper:
PRO-TIP: Briefly describe the author’s hypothesis, experiments, methods and results.
Did they study cis-regulatory DNA sequences, transcription factors? Did they do in
situs, use CRISPR, RNAi? What process or phenotype were they interested in (limbs,
rib length, pair bonding)? What hypothesis about evolution did they test? What was
their conclusion?
Short example (yours may be longer): By testing cis-regulatory elements from a snake,
in a mouse, the authors hypothesize that mutations in the enhancer that drives Mef2
expression in the paraxial mesoderm is a main way vertebrate rib number is regulated.
PROMPT 2: Dan, the specific new hypothesis I am testing is:
PRO-TIP: Create a specific new hypothesis that builds upon or tests author’s
hypothesis.
Short example (yours may be longer): I predict that chickens, which have very few ribs
compared to mammals, have mutations in their Mef2 rib enhancer that makes them
express less Mef2 in their mesoderm than the mammalian enhancer.
PROMPT 3: Dan, the specific experiments I would perform are:
PRO-TIP: Mention the methods you would use, the model organism(s) you would
subject to the experiments.
Short example (yours may be longer): I would use CRISPR/Cas9 to remove and replace
the Mef2 rib enhancer in a mouse with the Mef2 rib enhancer from a chicken. I would
then do in situ hybridizations to look at Mef2 transcription in embryos and the stain
embryos with a bone-specific stain to look at the ribs.
PROMPT 4: Dan, the specific results I might see are:
Short example (yours may be longer): I would expect to see decreased expression of
Mef2 in the mesoderm of the modified mouse, and, ultimately less ribs in the modified
mouse. The most dramatic result would be a chicken-like number of ribs. I might also
see loss of only one or two ribs. I may also see a perfectly normal mouse. Less likely,
but possible, is could even see extra ribs.
PROMPT 5: Dan, my interpretation of the possible results would be:
PRO-TIP: Check out the “key concepts” handout for help with the “big picture” issues.
Short example (yours may be longer): A chicken-like number of ribs would mean that
mutations in mef2 enhancer is likely the main cause of the reduced rib number in
chickens. This would strongly support the idea that this DNA sequence is a main
regulator of rib number during vertebrate evolution, as the authors propose. It would
support the overall idea that small mutations in a small number of key developmental
genes is a main way animals evolve. No change in rib number would suggest the
changes in Mef2 regulation have not been important in the rib reduction see in chickens,
and that there multiple types of mutations that could change this trait during evolution
Identify the major hardware and software components of your hypothetical e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure.
Week 6 Assignment – Infrastructure Design
Overview
This is the third in a series of five sequential assignments (the course project) in which you continue to act as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of a hypothetical e-commerce start-up company of your design.
You have been working on delivering an information technology project plan in anticipation of the company relocating to a new facility.
In the first course project deliverable, you created a project plan inception document and supporting Gantt chart.
In the second course project deliverable, you developed the business requirements to be incorporated into the information systems design you are creating. You also updated your original supporting Gantt chart based on major and minor tasks identified in the business requirements document.
In this third course project deliverable, you will create an infrastructure design that considers the key elements of software, hardware, security, and business process flow for your e-commerce startup company. You will also use graphical tools to create a supporting data flow diagram (DFD) for your infrastructure design. The infrastructure design provides an opportunity to visualize the key elements and how they are connected for maximum effectiveness.
This assignment consists of two-parts:
Part 1: Infrastructure Design
You will create an 8–10-page infrastructure design document to include key technical elements for your hypothetical e-commerce company’s information systems infrastructure.
Part 2: Updated Gantt Chart
You will use Microsoft Project to again update the supporting project Gantt chart begun in your first course project deliverable:
You are not creating a new Gantt chart, only updating the one you created in the previous assignment with the major and minor tasks uncovered while creating the infrastructure design document.
Note:
You are to create or assume all necessary assumptions to successfully complete this assignment.
You must submit both parts as separate files to the assignment area. Label each file name according to the appropriate part.
