    PSY3180 SHORT ANSWER ASSIGNMENT 1 Question 2: History taking History taking from a patient facilitates a comprehensive view of the patient, and a timeline of when neuropsychological symptoms occurred. Answers about the patient’s history and their problems in response to questions asked by the examiner will provide much of the needed information that is required to make an elaborative assessment ((Lezak, Howieson, Bigler & Tranel, 2012). However, considering the severity of the patient’s disease, potential language impairment, lack of alertness, and/or memory, some information about their life can be obtained from other sources, like cognitive functioning records, hospital records or personnel working with the patient, or from family, friends, and employers (Lezak et al., 2012).…

    Robert Williamson uses these studies to argue to the court that admitting my client’s past medical bills is giving the Defendant a pass on pain and suffering simply because the Plaintiff was treated by a doctor or hospital whose charges are less than those in other locales within the state or country. Our National Listserv Moderator and KBC Faculty member, Len Gabbay, agrees with Robert. Len encourages us to argue to the court that our client’s medical bills are not probative of any issue in the case since the cost of medical treatment is not an issue in the case. Len Gabbay warns that if the Defense subpoenas the bills, then we should file a motion to Quash the subpoena. According to Len, we must force the defense to articulate why the medicals…

    The Health Care Professional’s Effect on the Psychological Health of a Trauma Patient “It is much more important to know what sort of a patient has a disease than what sort of a disease a patient has.” – Sir William Osler. This quote alludes to the idea the knowing your patient is as important that treating the disease alone. Is it possible that the positive or negative communication and attitudes of nurses, doctors, and surgeons given charge over a patient, alter the prognosis of that patient’s health? And if so, is the difference in patient outcome large enough to make the medical community change the amount of education in psychology that medical students receive.…

    Caroline Hentzen ENLT 2555- Professor Chase Argument Paper In today’s society, there is a diagnosis for every minor issue, whether genuinely medical or not. As Riska argues in her paper “Gendering the Medicalization Thesis,” medicalization becomes an area of social control (Riska 63). Diagnoses of a time period determine which behaviors are socially accepted and which ones are negatively viewed. A defiant child can easily receive a diagnosis for a psychological disorder despite whether it is warranted; many parents even desire a diagnosis in order to ease their minds.…

    A cultural assessment involves learning about the patient’s cultural beliefs, values, and practices (Andrews & Boyle, 2016). We must understand that each patient is unique and has their own cultural beliefs and not assume, based on appearances, that they may belong to a particular culture. The goal of a cultural assessment is to obtain information from a patient that accurately describes their beliefs and values, in order to devise a mutually acceptable care plan for treatment that will be effective for their problem (Campinha-Bacote, 2011). These practices are shaped by family members that are passed down from each generation. Some of the components of a cultural assessment involve biocultural variations of the disease, both verbal and non-verbal communication, cultural affiliations, sanctions and restrictions, developmental considerations, economics, educational background, health-related beliefs and practices, social networks, nutrition, religion, and values (Andrews & Boyle, 2012).…
