Functional response

organizations to develop a plan to incorporate all facets of emergency management in the protection of the community. The Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for Yuma Regional Medical Center (YRMC) is part of this framework and is based on preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery. Within the EOP, the communication plan must be foundationally strong for the overall success of the mission. Community Relations Specialists, Rebecca Larson, said that an After-Action Report from an exercise in…

meeting their Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA), Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, The Joint Commission (TJC) and other accreditation agencies requirements and standards”. (Medscape, 2011) This builds for a stronger response effort from the community working towards the common goal within the Incident Command…

Introduction: Epidemiology: Sepsis is a significant public health burden with increasingly high incidence and mortality rates. In 2010, an estimated 5.1% of deaths were attributed to sepsis in the United Kingdom. Consequently, it is a leading cause of admission to intensive care units (ICU), delays in hospital discharge and a significant cost to the economy. Therefore, it is imperative to raise awareness and prepare clinicians with the knowledge and guidance to embark on the global movement…

You can end up living with cognitive impairment and functional disability afterwards. This can affect your ability to live in your own and be able to accomplish every day task, you may even need to get treatment from a physician most of your life. Septic shock complications can have a long term effect on a…

They developed guidelines for sepsis diagnosis based upon meeting two or more systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria along with positive microbiological cultures (e.g., bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic) (Nargis, Ibrahim, & Ahamed, 2014). The definition of sepsis was revised in 2016 by the SCCM and European Society of Intensive Care…

Following the introduction of the brain-disease model of addiction, proponents and opponents have emerged to argue for or against a neurocentric view of addiction and the importance of brain circuitry in treating addiction. The following discussion will discuss the societal pros and cons of labeling addiction a brain disease and evaluate whether brain circuitry is necessary for the treatment of addiction in order to illuminate the benefits and drawbacks of the brain-disease model for individuals…

The article I chose to explore and summarize for this assignment was ‘Voluntary attention modulates fMRI activity in human MT-MST’, by O’Craven, K.M., Rosen, B.R., Kwong, K.K., Triesman, A., & Savoy, R.L. The basic theory behind this study is that the visual system receives copious amounts of information. Attention permits the visual system to pinpoint a “subset” of that information for further processing and attention, dependent on either the properties of the stimulus (bottom up processing) or…

The effects of Functional Communication Training on problem behavior when the function is identified through a functional analysis were examined. Various research studies that focused on specific aspects of Functional Communication Training were referenced to support the effectiveness of the procedure. Each study used the results obtained from a functional analysis to teach an appropriate communicative response to replace problem behavior. The results of the implementation of Functional…

Introduction Functional Communication Training (FCT) “develops alternative behaviors that are sensitive to the EOs that maintain the problem behavior” (Cooper et al., p.497); EOs are establishing operations and FCT does not seek to change EOs. FCT uses differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors (DRA) because FCT interventions help the participant to create an alternative form of communication as an antecedent to the previous problem behavior. The DRA of communication provides the…
