D1: EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EACH STRATEGY FOR DEALING WITH THIS TYPE OF CHALLENGING BEHAVIOUR. BY: ESTHER ADENIKE BOLARINWA TUTOR: PAULA YATES Case study It’s your first week as a community nurse attached to a busy group practice. You receive a call from a care manager at social services, requesting an emergency home visit for a patient receiving end of life care. The patient requires emergency pain relief in the form of morphine patches. You have never met the patient. The husband meets you and offers you a cup of tea. He thanks you for arriving so promptly. You accept the offer of a cup of tea, ask his wife’s name and request the care plan, which holds all the information relating to medication. Whilst reading the notes, the husband chats to you about your day and the traffic locally. The kitchen door opens and a woman comes into the room, shouting at you: “What the hell are you playing at? My sister is upstairs dying and you’re down here, having a chat and drinking tea. No wonder the NHS is in a mess if you’re an example of the staff! Before you can respond, she reaches for your arm and begins to pull you towards the stairs. The husband tries to calm her but...

...Reflection Essay In the last eight weeks, I had an opportunity to look back and analyze the events that has shaped my grades/career. This was a unique experience where I was emotionally comfortable enough to look back at my life in school. I was able to objectively revisit many events that were often buried and too painful to face. I was free from the turmoil of emotional fears of failure, anger, and regret, which often clouded my perception. I was able to dwell on many pleasant and unpleasant events with more comfort and confidence. I accepted each module as part of life, regardless of whether it was good or bad experience. I understand that life transpires even when we are not prepared for it, but more importantly, it is how we deal with circumstances that keep us going forward. For the first time, there was clarity and I became aware of two main points one was my life changing/challenging experience and second was my educational growth. My life has been a journey filled with challenging experience, which consist of some unfixable actions, live bearing children at an early age. I grew up in an authoritarian, disciplined environment where personal expression and freedom was not tolerated. Since I could remember, there was a constant pressure for me to graduate from college with honors. Over the years the burden of not being able to convey my feelings and endless demands grew to fear and discomfort toward school. The day all of the Supervisors and Managers starting...

...Through the use of projected images, music and dialogue, distinctively visual texts represent challenging aspects of life effectively. This is portrayed through texts such as John Misto’s play The Shoe Horn Sonata, Kevin McDonalds docu-drama Touching the Void and Roberto Innocenti’s picture book Rose Blanche. The shoe horn sonata by John Misto is a play that deals with the brutality of World War 2 by locking at the stories of two financial characters, Bridie and Sheila. When he wrote the play, Misto was concerned that the pain and suffering that many women endured at the hands of their Japanese captors after the fall of Singapore had been forgotten. Both army nurses and civilians were the victims of terrible mistreatment and cruelty during the war, yet their stories were not widely known, nor had successive Australian governments acknowledged them. The play serves as a tribute to those victims of the atrocities of war, and looks at the effects such horrendous experiences can have on those who experience them. By the use of distinctively visual elements, Misto has created a compelling play. Whilst projected images of the celebrations at Martin Place are projected behind the actors, the women struggling to live at Belalau are still fighting through the war. During this scene, the women struggle to ascend up a hill thinking it will be the last moment of their lives. Dialogue used to reveal the weakness is quoted “The sick and the dying were left behind” and “the old and frail began...

...Clinical Psychology; Name: Institution: In answering the above question, one must understand the contributions of the contemporary psychology that is fascinated by human relationships and behavior. The aims of clinical psychology are noble, which is to use principles of psychology as well as our understanding of the human behavior in promoting quality of life, health, and finally happiness. Looking at the patient who wants more time in psychotherapy and is challenging my competencies, as a psychologist, I must use new skills in tackling the issue in order to develop better applications and make the patient understand the treatment processes. The typical therapy session is often 45 – 50 minutes, and therapy interventions might take less time. The standard starting and ending times as well as the session length provide a means for patients and therapists to observe emotional reactions (Plante, 2005). Psychotherapy is imbalance because it allows the clients to talk more, but its goal is to meet the needs of the client. Therefore, in the therapy room there is always a power differential between the therapist and client. Patients understand that this arena involves the specialized knowledge of the therapist. The therapist is required to explain to the patient the ground rules, psychotherapy framework, and assure them that they are acting for the best interest of the client (Bonanno & Burton, 2013). Opening up during psychotherapy can stir up primitive portions...

I faced a lot of difficulties at the beginning of this term despite this is not my first term at Duquesne, so things went not as I expected.

One difficulties that I faced at the beginning of this semester is some misunderstanding in the registration of my classes.

...causes, effects and strategies relating to challenging behaviours in settings. It will incorporate the discussion on available legislation that attempts to deal with challenging behaviour in settings such as work based settings. It will further analyse behaviour and its impact on the individual of a variety of special needs and challenging behaviours and will look at the positive support planning available that attempts to address challenging behaviour. According to Emerson et al (2011), “challenging behaviour is an umbrella term used to describe any behaviour that puts the person and those around them at risk”. Examples of challenging behaviour are aggression, self-injuries behaviour, property destruction, oppositional behaviour, stereotyped behaviours, socially inappropriate behaviour, and withdrawn behaviour. Human behaviour happens for a reason and understanding its causes is key to managing certain behaviours. Different reasons can be attributed to the causes of some challenging behaviours and these can be driven by different reasons such as seeking social attention, an attempt to seek advantage and get something, an attempt to escape from something like a trauma and some can arise from an enjoyment of certain sensory activities. As has been described that the causes vary depending on individuals, it should also be borne in mind that behaviour can have a harmful effect on the lives of both the individuals behaving in a challenging way, and others who live and work around...

...Functional Analysis A functional analysis is a process of learning about people before intervening in their lives. It is a systematic process for describing difficult behavior, identifying environmental factors and setting events that predict the behavior, and guiding the development of effective and efficient behavior support plans. Three important beliefs underlying a functional analysis are that 1) all behavior that persists serves some purpose, 2) every person is unique, and 3) the best way to help someone change their behavior is to first understand the reasons behind the behavior. This worksheet includes the components of a functional analysis which should be used to develop a positive behavior support plan, if one is needed for a participant. Depending on the person, some items may not need to be addressed. |Clear Description of the Behavior -- What does the challenging behavior look like? What does it sound like? Does it occur in conjunction with other behaviors or | |in isolation? How long does it last? How long has it been a problem? | | | |Antecedents -- Is there any warning from the person before the targeted behavior starts? What are some of the preliminary behaviors before the person shows the ...

...“We’re moving!??!?!” I cried in tears, the night before the Monday vacation at Zervas After School Program. It was such a sad moment, puzzling connecting all the events that’s happened these past few years. It was a challenging, sad situation that my family and I had to reflect on. I only at the time understood the most out of my siblings the real reason why we were moving. It wasn’t fully explained to them, they wouldn’t have understood because how horrific the event was. So my mom made chose to not talk so much about it because it was a hard difficult concept of learning that someone had broken into our house the one we were currently living in, and tried to physically hurt my mom when she was pregnant with my younger sister.

...to achieve a really memorable experience. Giving your full efforts, love and care to what you are doing in order for you to not regret anything in the future. It is challenging yourselves to be better ones to be able to inspire and let others learn from what you have learned and achieved. The teamwork among us, BSHM 3-1D, had been challenged when we had our first event, the Food and Beverage Seminar among the BSHM First Year Students. We’ve gotten a long and challenging way before we were able to execute such successful event. Humbly speaking, it was truly one of the best shots that the block has exerted in order to make a better one. Some of the things that I could say I have learned in this subject, Conventions and Events Management, is being able to persevere on things that come or happen inevitably. Each and everyone’s patience was really tested during the preparation of the event, with the practice sessions, updates per committees, cooperation of each, finalization on where and when to hold the event, final speakers to talk on the seminar, these are only some of the challenges that I could proudly say, tested our patience but made us more aggressive to be more creative and passionate with what we are doing. Seeing different faces of the team was really one of the most enjoyable parts of preparing this event. I have seen people being annoyed, happy, people who just did not care and just went along with the flow of what was happening,...

...Spunk embodies everything there would be to be sought after within the ideal male archetype in the introduction, vehemently strong and easily getting his hands dirty with the woman of the town yet he is missing something, that being a strong woman that can be by his side, which is where we see the urgency of the character of Lena Kanty, married to the contrastingly to Spunk, timid and apprehensive Joe Kanty. As Spunk is seen unapologetically intermingling with Joe’s wife, the townsfolk acting like a greek tragedy chorus, although not singing but rather balking the events of the story with a use of a broken english that is often a bit hard to follow. Once Joe is eventually enlightened of the cuckolding we see a transformation and the appearance of one of the major themes of the piece, Courage. Courage as it is often seen is a natural occurrence, as seen in Spunk and notably absent in Joe to with primarily seen as unchanging but as the events unfold within the story we see that this is not quite the case and courage becomes a matter of inspiration instead of the former. Joe, horrified by his wife’s infidelity is seen transformed (figuratively at this stage) into gutsy and bold alpha male that takes things into his own hands as he seeks out Spunk with a razor to get the vengeance he feel he is rightfully owed, whether it be caked in crimson or otherwise. Courage can also be...
