Personality Characteristics and Criminal Behavior

A particular set of personality characteristics does not  turn a person into a criminal. However, criminals may have the same set  of characteristics. This concept may not be easy to understand. Here is  another example: all college graduates have attended college, but not  everyone who attended college is a college graduate. The mistake that  “if A then B” is the same as “if B then A” is a common one in research,  criminal investigation, and profiling.

Criminal profiling is a difficult task. Complete the following three parts and present them in your report.

Part I

Identify at least five offense characteristics of each  of the following crimes: sex offense, murder, acquisitive crime,  organized crime, and terrorism.

Part II

Choose two offenses for those listed in Part I. Using the selected characteristics, complete the following for each of the two offenses you selected:

  • Analyze the selected characteristics to develop a forensic profile  for that particular type of offense. For example, how would you use the  two offense characteristics you have selected for murder to develop  inferences regarding the personality of a murderer?
  • Explain how an offender’s level of cognitive and emotional  functioning, as well as social and environmental factors, could  contribute to his or her maladaptive behavior in each of the above  offenses.
  • Identify and justify the types of tests and/or personality measures  that might be used to gather additional information for each of the two  offenses.
  • Identify and justify the type of collateral information you would  need to learn about the offender in the case of each of the two crimes.

Part III

  • Identify the differences between ethical standards in a criminal  investigation and ethical standards in a psychological interview.
  • Offer your recommendations for future research needed to advance the science and research of psychological profiling techniques.
  • Discuss the different ethical considerations one must follow as an investigator and as a psychologist.

Support your responses giving reasons and examples from eight to ten scholarly resources.

Write a 7- to 9-page report in a Microsoft Word document. Apply APA standards to cite sources.

Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and  organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate  representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate  spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Describe why you chose this social media page as the one that you can best relate to or like the best

Integrate the positive and negative effects of social media making global communication easily accessible.

Instructions

When using social media, the communication barrier of distance is eliminated. This comes with obvious benefits, but it also comes with extra challenges due to the increased potential for misunderstandings with cultural differences and language barriers. The person that knows how to use communication opportunities will have a strong advantage in their work and in their networking and relationships.

This assignment has two parts to it.

Part 1:

Locate and study social media pages of businesses that are making an effort to market their product globally.  You can use any social media platform you choose. Examine what you believe the companies are doing well and what can be improved. Look for ways in which their communication are clear to a large number of people, breaking through language and cultural barriers. Also look for ways in which the pages could be improved due to the limitations and challenges of global communication.

After you have studied several pages that are seeking to reach a large number of people, choose three of them.

1A. Choose the page that you feel does the best job overall.

Describe why you feel like this social media page was the best one that you viewed. Take a screenshot of the page and upload it with your submission.

1B. Choose one that needs improvement.

Describe what you see that needs improvement in their effort to reach people globally. Take a screenshot of the page and upload it with your submission.

1C. Choose one that most closely represents the type of page that you might create in the future. If you have no interest or potential need for ever creating a social media page that is intended to reach the masses globally, then choose one that you are interested in and like.

Describe why you chose this social media page as the one that you can best relate to or like the best. Take a screenshot of the page and upload it with your submission.

Note: Do not use the same social media page for more than one of these three choices. For example, do not say that one social media page was the best and also the one that you would be most likely to create a similar page as.  In other words, do not use one social media page for both 1A and 1C. You need to choose three separate pages in total.

Part 2:

Now you will use what you have learned to create your own social media page with the intent of reaching the masses. You will not need to actually create a page on a social media platform. Creating a fake company or organization online could obviously cause problems. Instead, emulate the formatting of a social media page, and create it so that you can submit it to your instructor.

Take what you learned from Part 1 to create the best fake social media page you can on an imaginary company or organization of your choice. Your company or organization can be anything you want, just ensure that it is class-appropriate. Describe what you learned in this assignment and how you incorporated that knowledge into your social media page.

How could nurses in the public health setting help clients to modify unhealthy behaviors at the primary and secondary prevention levels?

/0 Comments/in /by

 

  • Describe the roles of your local and state health departments in the accomplishment of healthcare promotion and goals.
    • The role of the local and state health departments is to make sure everyone has good health. “Florida Health represents the vision that health belongs to everyone and every group—not just a state agency. It takes individuals, families, communities, and partnerships with local and state-level policy makers and stakeholders to create a culture of health in Florida” (floridahealth.gov, 2018).
  • How do their goals of health promotion meet the objective of Healthy People 2020?
    • I think everyone’s goal in general is for the public to be in good health. Being in good health can reduce the number of hospital admissions and prolong your life. Ways to spread the word are communication! Social media, interacting with others, and just being aware of what’s out there. For instance, what kinds of food are we putting into our bodies, are we drinking enough water, and is the environment less polluted with toxins that can harm us.
  • How could nurses in the public health setting help clients to modify unhealthy behaviors at the primary and secondary prevention levels? Please provide an example for each prevention level.
    • Primary prevention would be education. Examples include educating the community about eating healthy or the dangers of smoking.
    • Secondary prevention would be reducing a disease or diagnosis. Having regular check-ups with the doctor or taking medicine pertinent to that disease would be examples.

 

how I would apply CQI in my current position working as a nurse circulator in the operating room

/0 Comments/in /by

4-Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) is defined by the American Society for Quality (ASQ) as “a philosophy and attitude for analyzing capabilities and processes and improving them repeatedly to achieve customer satisfaction”. (Huber 292) CQI is something that is relevant to all nurses as we all need to be responsible for continual improvement at work. As professionals we should always have this as a top priority. There are many challenges in the workplace, and by looking for ways to improve, we are constantly learning and growing as a profession, this is a large piece of evidence-based practice, which is something we all hold as a standard in healthcare today.

An example of how I would apply CQI in my current position working as a nurse circulator in the operating room, is to ensure that the time out procedure is followed every single case I circulate. This is important as we often get complacent in rules and regulations, as do surgeons that we are trying to keep happy as they are customers just as much as our patients are.

I had circulated a case with another nurse during orientation in which not all implants for a total knee replacement were in the room. I was not notified of this until after the case started, the patient was anesthetized, and time out had been completed though this requirement was not stated/asked. Later the rep for the implants then stated the implants were in route from another location. This is unacceptable, and I am glad that I was still in orientation at the time this occurred as it was a great learning experience for me. I learned how to write an incident report that day, and why the time out procedure is so important.

5-Health care delivery requires structure (staff, education, equipment, prospective data collection), and process (policies, procedure, protocols), which when integrated provide a system (programs, organizations, cultures) leading to outcomes (patient safety, quality, satisfaction). An effective health care system has all of these elements – structure, process, system, and patient outcomes in a framework of continuous quality improvement, or CQI (Kronich et al., 2015).

The purpose of QCI is to improve health care by identifying problems, implementing and monitoring corrective action and evaluating its effectiveness. Hospitals use a specific process to find areas in the health care delivery system that need improvement. When an area has been found, staff develop and implement strategies for improvement. General areas that are being studied include access to care, continuity of care, the intake process upon admission, emergency care, and adverse patient events, including all deaths (National Commission on Correctional Care, 2018).

In my previous position, working as a NICU RN, we initially did not use two RN’s to verify the content in the TPN-bags for each patient. Shortly after I started working at this facility, this change was implemented. The purpose was to catch medical errors from pharmacy that sadly was occurring more frequently. This new process of reading labels with another RN while verifying the content with the document from pharmacy, and then hanging the TPN required more time in the nurses’ day. In addition, all this was done toward the end of day-shift around 1730. This process resulted in stress among the RN’s and often overtime, which was not appreciated by management. Thankfully, a solution was found by changing the time of day TPN was delivered to the unit. By working together and brainstorming solutions, everyone was satisfied in the end; quality of care was improved, and the nurses were able to finish their duties in time.

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.

/0 Comments/in /by

The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.

Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.

Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.

The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.

Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.

Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:

1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.

2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section.

3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.

To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

· PICOT statement clearly articulates a nursing practice problem using substantial supporting information from numerous reliable sources.

· Six articles that address a selected nursing practice problem are listed in the literature search and include abstracts.

· Writer is clearly in command of standard, written, academic English.

· Sources are completely and correctly documented, as appropriate to assignment and style, and format is free of error.
