the body (Lynn, 2012). OBJECTIVE #5 - Alternate treatment choices that would have avoided this serious adverse drug event • The physician may have prescribed a variety of alternative antibiotics to treat Saskia’s pneumonia to eliminate drug-drug interactions that occurred with her current medications. The antibiotic prescribed cannot inhibit the CYP3A4 isoenzyme because it allows simvastatin to be excreted from the body. For example: Azithromycin (Drug Bank, 2016). • The physician could have…

essential to be aware that theories are framed in a social, cultural, and historical perspective. However, theories are necessary in social work practice to assist in client assessment and understanding human behavior. Through analysis, the major biological, neurobiological, psychological, social, and development factors of Emma’s case will be discussed. Additionally, both dynamic systems theory and ecological theory will be applied to the case to facilitate explanation of the…

The book is titled theorizing about intercultural communication. The history of Identity negotiation refers to “the procedures finished which perceivers and targets come to settlements regarding the identities that objectives are to accept in the interaction. Where in the past at work has only focused on the involvement of perceivers to the uniqueness negotiation process, I emphasize the impact of targets to this…

behaviour in their biological parents, a genetic effect is implied. However, if a positive correlation is found between the adoptee’s aggressive behaviour and the rearing family, then an environmental effect is implied. Although, research by Hutchings and Medinick suggests that environmental factors do not play a role in aggressive behaviour, as they found when looking at 14,000 adoptions in Denmark that there was a significant number of adopted boys with criminal convictions who had biological…

management, and the personal issues that plague her from fully functioning. The biological model of viewing human behavior believes that one will need a full view of a person’s thoughts, behaviors, and emotions which will include their biological make-up to understand a person’s actions. The theorist would to be able to see how the brain processes information. In the case of my co-worker, a theorist would need to know what biological influences were presented to this person for them to behave,…

theory acknowledges that nature and nurture cannot be individually accepted as the sole influence for language acquisition, but rather their combined interaction. This theory also posits that the emotional health and attachment to caregivers are imperative for language development.

the biological causes. The medical model only focuses on the biological factors and proximate causes of the epidemic (Browne, 2005). They do not factor in the other possible true factors that contribute to obesity. Social models place importance on both proximate and distal causes that consequently effect health directly or indirectly. The model highlights that our health is based on multiple determinants and how they interact with one another (Browne, 2005). By looking at these interactions we…

contend that the general theory of crime posits individuals from committing offences, through the exercise of self control, and it is however, the opportunities for crime that differ. Additionally, numerous biological theorists argue that the Social Learning Theory disregards an individual’s biological state and a persons genetics, brain, and learning differences are not taken into account -this therefore presenting an opposing theoretical explanation of deviance (Jeffery, 1985:…
