Parent Directed Sensory Based Intervention Occupational Therapy is one of the leading treatment choices by families that have children whom are afflicted with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). One of the most formative treatments used by occupational therapist to combat ASD is sensory integration. This treatment is used when a child with ASD exhibits hypo or hypersensitivity to sensory input from their surroundings. Along with sensory integration, occupational therapists are trying a new family centered approach in early intervention. This approach is known as Parent-Directed Family Centered Sensory Based Intervention (Bulkeley, Bundy, Jacqueline, & Einfeld, 2016).…
Intervention Review Use visual rather than verbal instruction by showing Sammy a picture of her doing the task. Then use nonverbal gestures to the task. Sammy will be taught antecedents by modeling the behavior. Then pictures will be taken of her doing desired tasks. If she sees a picture of her doing the task, then she will be more likely to engage in the task.…

Electronic Medication Administration Record and Patient Safety One of the reason medication related deaths occur are due to medication errors (Karen, 2011, p. 1). In fact, within the United States, approximately 7,000 people die each year due to medication errors (Karen, 2011, p. 1). According to Karen (2011) 1.3 million medication errors occur yearly, which relates to several injuries and approximately one death a day related to medication errors in the Unites States (Karen, 2011, p. 1). One major cause of medication errors can be explained using the medication administration process (Mccomas, 2014, p.590). When a health care provider is responsible to administer a medication, there are approximately 50 to 100 steps involved in this process…
In Australia, Evidence-based practice (EBP) has been educated as nursing pre-registration requirements for registration, since EBP is recognized as the gold standard for quality healthcare over the past decade (Linton & Prasun, 2013; Leung, Trevena & Waters, 2016). Every day, nurses need to make a huge amount of decisions about patients’ care and procedures. However, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) publishes the Registered nurse standards for practice 1.1, which requires the registered nurse to access, analyse and use the EBP for safe quality practice (NMBA, 2016). This essay will discuss that nurses are expected to be at the forefront of implementing EBP into clinical practice. Furthermore, it will also discuss an opposing argument that why nurses may not be able to be at the forefront of implementing EBP into clinical practice.…
The type of intervention approach most appropriate for the homelessness issue in Baltimore City is a preventative targeted intervention. This approach has been selected since, a portion of homeless individuals are showing signs and symptoms of substance abuse (Roe-Sepowtiz, Bedard, & Thyer, 2005). Although there are great efforts in Baltimore City’s intervention plans, there are too many gaps that leave out individuals who are suffering from substance abuse (Baltimore City Jurisdictional Plan, 2009). Every plan has the same goal of moving the homeless with substance abuse problems into a healthier lifestyle, however change has been a slow and ineffective process (Baltimore City Jurisdictional Plan, 2009). The preventative targeted intervention…
The x in the equation refers to the weight recorded by the pediatrician in pounds (lbs.). This number is placed over a 1 simply to show it in fraction form, making the conversion easier. The number is then set equal to the fraction representing the number of pounds in a kilogram (kg). The 2.22lbs. is placed on the bottom part of the fraction in order for the lbs. units to cancel out, leaving behind only kilograms.…
To me to intervene in practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities means social workers know about evidence-based interventions to help achieve the goals of individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities they work with. Social workers understand the theories from all course work and critically evaluate and apply what we know to successfully help clients meet their goals. We realize that inter-professional and interdisciplinary collaboration is important to helping clients. We use what we understand about human behavior, person-in-environment and theoretical framework with our clients. We advocate and mediate with and for clients to ensure goals are met.…
Evidence Based Medicine Introduction Evidence based medicine has long been held in high esteem by physicians and for good reason. It provides the best possible roadmap for improving quality care for patients. In addition, certain clinical practice guidelines (CPG) have been established as part of the specific paradigm involving electronic medical record (EMR) keeping. This has all been designed to improve patient well-being, give physicians an opportunity to make informed decisions, and improve overall efficiency at healthcare facility.…
Professional Counselors and Evidence Based Practice Student’s Name Institution Professional Counselors and Evidence Based Practice For a long time, there has been a debate in the counseling world with regards to evidence and non-evidence based practice. Each of the practice has its own unique way of achieving best results while on the other hand each has limitations. While evidenced based practice may be advocated for by most counselors, some professionals refer to its limitations as the main reason for not using it. Since counseling takes place within enclosed rooms for confidentiality purposes, it is significant to appreciate the fact that both evidence and non-evidence based practices are being used by professional counselors. This particular discussion aims to provide an analysis of…
The objective of this session with the client was to research an agency that would help Susan, as well suggest an appropriate evidence based intervention based on the services that are provided at that specific agency. Based on the information of the options of the evidence-based interventions, it was decided that ACTIVATE (advancing active treatment in the elderly) would be used by the social worker (Sirey, Hannon, D 'Angelo, & Knies, 2012). The Social Worker The social worker applied an evidence based intervention that would benefit the agency chosen to help Susan.…
Personally by reading what each Culture is, I think Blame-Free Culture would work best when it comes to medication errors. If a worker makes a mistake, it can be embarrassing. Going with a Blame-Free Culture will help keep it private that way an employee doesn’t feel as embarrassed with making a mistake. I know that when I make a mistake I don’t want to be called out on it in front of the whole team; I would like to be sat down in private and told what I did wrong and how I can fix it. Some cons that come with Blame-Free Culture is even though people are making mistakes, reporting, and being taught a lesson, mistakes may increase.…
The topic that I selected is increasing the evidence based practice use. Evidence based practice (EBP) is one of the popular topics in nursing today. It is defined as a “problem-solving approach to clinical decision making within a healthcare organization that integrates the best available scientific evidence with the best available experiential evidence” (Hain & Kear, 2015, p. 2). Applying evidence based practice into our daily nursing practice can improve the quality of care of the patients.…
