John B. Heart is a 51-year-old male who has smoked one pack per day since the age of 20 (31 pack
years). He has no current diagnosed medical problems. He became concerned and came to the
emergency department because he is more easily fatigued, he has had a headache the past three days
that has not improved, and his wife has been monitoring his blood pressure the past week which has
been high.
Physical exam:
 VS: HR 88 bpm, temp 98.9 F (37.2 C), RR 20 breaths per minute, BP 174/95, SaO2 95% on RA
 On assessment, John appears to be uncomfortable, occasionally grimacing in pain.
 John reports continuous headache (8/10).
 John B. Heart is diagnosed with hypertension.
The primary care provider (PCP) initiates lisinopril and writes a prescription for:
 lisinopril (Zestril) 10mg orally daily.
After taking lisinopril for 2 months, John developed a persistent nonproductive cough and has recently
noted swelling of his lips. John’s PCP decides to start him on metoprolol.
 metoprolol (Lopressor) 50mg orally daily

1. Explain to John why his PCP ordered lisinopril and what is the therapeutic effect of this drug?
What is the mechanism of action (MOA) of this drug?
2. What other effects do Angiotensin Converting Enzymes (ACE) inhibitors have on the human
body?

3. In the Analysis of Relationship section, make a strong connection between the medications
lisinopril and metoprolol as it relates to hypertension. Why did John’s PCP change his
medications? Why is it important to do vital signs before taking antihypertensive drugs?

Write a 5 page paper reflecting on your results AND your group forming and decision processes.
How did your group form? To what extent was bias present in the decision process? Why? What does this mean for you and your groups which you will be a part of in the future?
Recognizing that most people hold some type of bias or preference towards certain groups, what does it mean for the way we work in groups that these may be “implicit” or unconscious?
IF someone possessed a particular bias that they did not want, how might they go about changing it?
How do your results compare with others in your group?

CONDITIONING AND LEARNING PLAN
For this assignment, complete the Conditioning and Learning Practice media piece. In this piece, you can see operant conditioning in action and have the opportunity to create operant conditioning training of your own.
Be sure to download the Conditioning and Learning Plan Worksheet now or after completing the media piece. In your worksheet, you will describe the scenario and behavior that you would like to change. Ideas include:
Teaching your child to hang up their coat or backpack when they come in the door.
Getting yourself to exercise a certain number of minutes a day or week.
Teaching your dog to ring a bell when they need to go outside.
Getting a trainee to come to work on time.
You may choose one of these ideas or think of one of your own. Think of a behavior that you would like to change in yourself or someone else. Once you identify the target behavior, think about a positive reinforcer that will work. What might motivate you, your child, your trainee, or your dog?
In the worksheet, use the language of behavioral theory to identify:
One targeted response.
A reinforcer and secondary reinforcer (if you plan to use a secondary one).
Schedules of reinforcement.
Initial schedule.
Secondary schedule (once the behavior is stable).
Describe how you plan to use shaping to begin the process and make shifts in how and when the behavior is reinforced.
To achieve Distinguished level on the scoring guide, use the notes column to explain why you chose the behavior, the reinforcers, and schedules that you selected.

Homework number 1

Write two paragraphs on any two elements of journalism as they relate to one of the linked articles here — your choice. Make sure that you identify clearly which elements of journalism you have chosen to discuss, and use details from the article to support your ideas.
Begin each paragraph with a heading bold indicating which element you are discussing!
Compose your post offline and then copy and paste it into the Discussion Board. No attachments.
You must format your post like this:
The headline of the article you have chosen is in bold.
In bold, is the first element you choose to discuss and analyze, as it applies to your article. This will be followed by a paragraph explaining how the article answers to the element you have selected.
Then, again in bold, put another element, and then your explanation. See sample response at the bottom.

The journal elements that I have chosen are:

Element 1
It must provide a forum for public criticism and compromise
The news media are common carriers of public discussion, and this responsibility forms a basis for special privileges that news and information providers receive from democratic societies.
These privileges can involve subsidies for distribution or research and development (lower postal rates for print, use of public spectrum by broadcasters, development and management of the Internet) to laws protecting content and free speech (copyright, libel, and shield laws).
These privileges, however, are not pre-ordained or perpetual. Rather, they are conferred because of the need for an abundant supply of information. They are predicated on the assumption that journalism – because of its principles and practices – will supply a steady stream of higher quality content that citizens and government will use to make better decisions.
Traditionally, this covenant has been between news organizations and government. The new forms of digital media, however, place a responsibility on everyone who “publishes” content – whether for profit or for personal satisfaction – in the public domain.
The raw material cast into the marketplace of ideas sustains civic dialogue and serves society best when it consists of verified information rather than just prejudice and supposition.
Journalism should also attempt to fairly represent varied viewpoints and interests in society and to place them in context rather than highlight only the conflicting fringes of debate. Accuracy and truthfulness also require that the public discussion not neglect points of common ground or instances where problems are not just identified but also solved.
Journalism, then, is more than providing an outlet for discussion or adding one’s voice to the conversation. Journalism carries with it a responsibility to improve the quality of debate by providing verified information and intellectual rigor. A forum without regard for facts fails to inform and degrades rather than improves the quality and effectiveness of citizen decision-making.

Element 2

Journalism’s first obligation is to the truth
Good decision-making depends on people having reliable, accurate facts put in a meaningful context. Journalism does not pursue truth in an absolute or philosophical sense, but in a capacity that is more down to earth.
“All truths – even the laws of science – are subject to revision, but we operate by them in the meantime because they are necessary and they work,” Kovach and Rosenstiel write in the book. Journalism, they continue, thus seeks “a practical and functional form of truth.” It is not the truth in the absolute or philosophical or scientific sense but rather a pursuit of “the truths by which we can operate on a day-to-day basis.”
This “journalistic truth” is a process that begins with the professional discipline of assembling and verifying facts. Then journalists try to convey a fair and reliable account of their meaning, subject to further investigation.
Journalists should be as transparent as possible about sources and methods so audiences can make their own assessment of the information. Even in a world of expanding voices, “getting it right” is the foundation upon which everything else is built – context, interpretation, comment, criticism, analysis and debate. The larger truth, over time, emerges from this forum.
As citizens encounter an ever-greater flow of data, they have more need – not less – for suppliers of information dedicated to finding and verifying the news and putting it in context.
