The Continuum

Date: 10-13-15: The client was eager to be in therapy today. The client participated in every activity. The client even suggested activities for future sessions (i.e., using prolonged speech while bowling). The session focused on role-playing and using stretchy speech in structured and unstructured games. The session began with free play. The client and the clinician completed a puzzle. The client enjoyed this activity. After the puzzle, the client and clinician began a role-playing storyboard…

LEADERSHIP CONTINUUM: An early contribution to the literature on leadership styles was made by Robert Tannenbaum and Warren H Schmidt back in the 1950s. They proposed the idea of a ‘leadership continuum’ consisting of seven stages. Each stage of the continuum involves a decreasing use of managerial authority alongside an increasing level of subordinate freedom 2. SITUATIONAL LEADERSHIP:…

influences are affect the choice of style. The learning style preference itself is the product of two pairs of variables, or two separate choices that we make. Kolb explains these two variables as the Processing Continuum which is how we approach a task, and the second is called the Perception Continuum…

for nurses during World wars I, II and the Vietnam War topped with the massive technology expansion in recent decades left nurses open to pursuing advancement in their respective fields and led them to fulfilling some of the gaps in the healthcare continuum. This paper will discuss the different aspects of evolution for nursing informatics and APN, the key differences between them and an overview of role advancement in the emerging healthcare trends. Nursing informatics is an avenue of…

Resilience as a construct is hard to define. In simplest terms, resilience can be described as a quality that makes one, particularly a child, exceptionally resistant to the negative effects of stress.(Tolan, 1996) However, in reality, characterizing resilience is much more complicated; the literature on trauma alone has at least 8 unique definitions for resilience.(Barber & Doty, 2013) Unsurprisingly, the unclear nature of resilience is one of the many arguments that are used to demonstrate its…

believe that cultural competency is similar to acquiring a new skill. It requires you to develop a plan for professional development. In the beginning of my University studies, I feel as though I may have been in the ‘cultural blindness’ stage of the continuum. I felt as though everyone should be treated the same regardless of their race or background.…

I.1- INTRODUCTION: Conformational analysis is the study of the energy change, a molecule undergoes, as it rotates about one or more single bonds. The conformations of a molecule are those arrangements in space of the atoms which are not superimposeable upon each other. The basic idea behind conformational analysis is that molecules will have certain physical and chemical and thermodynamic properties that are dependent on the preferred conformations. in the modern chemistry, where it can…

A hierarchy is the process of classifying individuals and/or objects above and below each other, according to their superiority to one another. A continuum is a comparison of similar beings that are different by degree and compared based on their quantitative difference. The Great Chain of Being, which consists of having both a hierarchy and continuum, would suggest that human beings are just a part of a hierarchy, where they are inferior to those who are higher up, which would make those…

There are two main theoretical-behavioral models that have been used in attempts to explain adherence to health behavior. The first are the continuum theories, there are four of them and they follow the “one size fits all” method. The health behavior model uses the combination of four beliefs to explain adherence. The beliefs are: the perceived susceptibility and severity of disease or disability as well as the perception of health benefits and potential barriers. The issue with this model is…

Aspect. Exploration of the nature of verbal aspect can be traced back to Aristotle’s differentiation between Energeia and Kinêsis (see Mourelatos, 1993). In the more recent half a century, aspectual considerations have been conceptualized into a continuum that differentiates between states and processes (e.g., Kenny, 1963).…
