Response to intervention

difficulties, exaggerated startled response and hypervigilance” (NIDA, 2006). There are researches showing strong association between PTSD and substance abuse where in certain instances substance use begins after the exposure to trauma. Among individuals with substance use disorders, 30 to 60 % meet the criteria for PTSD (NIDA, 2006). Identification of concurrent disorder and proper support from physicians and healthcare providers’ can increase success in…

juvenile justice system, and to discipline in elementary, middle and high school aged students bares the question, at what point can intervention be most effective? While it has been heavily studied that these problems exist, the correlation of these issues and improvement through methods such as culturally competent behavioral intervention, positive behavioral intervention, and restorative justice at a younger age leaves a large gap in research to be done. Cultural competence training and…

nursing practice and patient outcomes. In conclusion, “the use of genetic variation to understand and predict human responses and to tailor nursing interventions is a powerful concept that could inform – and fundamentally change – nursing practice” (Munro, 2015). By being able to comprehend and anticipate patient’s different genetic variations, and then provide nursing interventions that are specific to the individual- nursing practice will be changed and it will no longer be just able general…

capability of thinking and expressing yourself. The government creates drugs to gain control over their own society, creating an aggressive environment that can lead us also to many wars or diseases. Behavioral conditioning is a process whereby a response becomes more frequent or more predictable in a given environment as a result of reinforcement, with reinforcement typically being a stimulus or reward…

The law enforcement’s response to domestic violence remains a closely studied topic among researchers and policymakers. Beginning in the 1970s, domestic violence policy reforms swept the nation as a result of political pressure exerted by women advocate groups (Xie & Lynch, 2016). Within ten years, mandatory arrests policies were enacted in states across the U.S. with the purpose of reducing intimate partner violence. In light of the newly enacted mandatory arrest policies, a surge of research…

form how we will organize the information in the SOAP note. One of the patients I worked with this week is this female who was admitted to the SNF for rehab after a fall. She is in therapy for generalized weakness, balance deficit and edema. Her interventions consist of LE strengthening, balance training and gait training and compression wrapping which is done by one of the OTs who is also certified lymphedema therapist. One thing I found interesting with this patient is that she doesn’t like…

This study will apply the Health Promotion Model (HPM) from the nursing theory and Polyvegal theory of Steve Porges. Music will promote the health of the floor nurses by decreasing their anxiety and depression levels, so that the concept of HPM will be effective to use in this study. Nola J. Pender intended the HPM nursing theory in order to be a complementary counterpart to models of health protection ("Health Promotion Model - Nursing Theory," n.d.). This model defines health as a positive…

when normalized across a fixed number of stimulus pulses; 2) energy expenditure during electrical stimulation is not modulated by a systemic sympathetic response (HR), 3) the highest stimulation intensity (100 mA) most effectively increased energy expenditure, and 4) individual factors such as increased BMI and VAT attenuate energy expenditure response to electrical…

their support systems (Ursavas, et. al, 2014). Interventions that are designed to target each of these modes are critical for the patient to have positive outcomes of their diagnosis. Roy’s adaptive model poses implications for nursing practice. Kearney-Nunnery (2001) outline Roy’s Adaptation Model Practice Methodology of the Nursing Process. The process includes assessment of behavior, assessment of stimuli, nursing diagnosis, goal setting, intervention, and evaluation. As every stage of…

In a qualitative study of a failed Response-To-Intervention (RTI) model, findings revealed teachers’ negative judgments and lack of cultural awareness inhibited ELLs’ academic success (Orosco & Klingner, 2010). In contrast, teachers who acknowledge “cultural differences are more likely to adapt pedagogy…
