Question 1

 

           A hospital records the number of floral deliveries its patients receive each day.  For a two week period (14 days), the records show:                               

 

      Day 1   25

       Day 2    37

       Day 3    36

        Day 4   34

        Day 5    38

       Day 6   31

        Day 7    36

        Day 8  29

       Day 11   35

      Day 12  36

      Day 13  27

      Day 14  33

 

             Use exponential smoothing with a smoothing constant of .35 to forecast the number of deliveries. (Be sure to provide a forecast for day fifteen, the point of the whole exercise)

 

Assignment 3: Biopsychosocial-Cultural Model

Assignment 3: Biopsychosocial-Cultural Model

Traditionally, mental illness was considered a biological problem, either inherited or developed due to genetic vulnerability within the individual. This point of view is termed the medical model. Treatment was provided to the individual in one-to-one meetings with a psychiatrist or sessions with a psychotherapist.

The field of mental health has evolved from the traditional model to one incorporating many more people, factors, causes, and types of treatment. The biopsychosocial-cultural model incorporates biological, psychological, developmental, familial, social, and cultural factors to understand how mental illness develops and how to design effective treatments.

Revisit the case of the two Wes Moores discussed in M1: Assignment 2. Then, pretend that you are the prison psychologist who completed the evaluation of the Wes Moore convicted of murder.

  • Gather information about the potential causes of Mr. Moore’s outcome.
  • Write a report of your findings to be filed in Mr. Moore’s chart and used by professionals who will be helping Mr. Moore. Address the following in your report:
    • Analyze how each of the following played a role in causing or affecting Mr. Moore’s troubled childhood and eventual imprisonment:
      • Biological factors (genetic and physiological)
      • Developmental factors
      • Psychological factors (emotional and related to thoughts)
      • Familial and social factors
      • Cultural factors (environmental and multicultural)
    • Evaluate how Mr. Moore’s troubled childhood and eventual imprisonment could have been prevented by early intervention. In addition, explain how that intervention could have been designed to address each of the following:
      • Psychological factors
      • Familial and social factors
      • Cultural factors
    • Recommend at least two ideas for treatment that Mr. Moore should have received in childhood, based on all of the following:
      • Biological factors
      • Psychological factors
      • Familial and social factors

Write a 3–5-page report in Word format (not including the title page and reference page). Include a title and reference page in APA format, and apply APA standards to citation of sources, including in-text citations and full references.

Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M1_A3.doc. For example, if your name is John Smith, your document will be named SmithJ_M1_A3.doc.

Small Business

You are applying for a business startup loan for your new venture. A bank officer tentatively agreed to loan you the $75,000 accepting a second mortgage on your home as collateral based on your business plan. Your home was appraised three years ago for $250,000 and you owe $165,000 on the first mortgage. He is now having second thoughts based on two things.

First, he has discovered that you encountered some financial difficulties that caused you to fall behind on your debts 7 years earlier. You thought that this was not supposed to remain after 6 years. You struggled back then after losing your job but finally paid everything in full years ago. For the past 6 years, you have had an excellent payment history. You have $25,000 in savings with this bank.

Second, he is concerned that your home has actually lost value since the appraisal. However, you believe that the improvements that you have recently made to the home including a new kitchen and bathroom have actually increased the value!

Part One – What are some factors you should consider when negotiating with the banker?

Part Two – What are some factors the banker should consider when negotiating with you?
