...may resort to memorizing facts instead of comprehending, applying, and transferring knowledge to practice. In addition, students rely on teachers to provide lecture notes and may not be adequately prepared to participate in class discussions. Case studies, which are an effective way of connecting critical thinking, problem solving, and decision-making to practice (Baumberger-Henry, 2003; Campbell, 2004), enhance students’ participation in class discussions. Conceptual models of nursing provide a unique body of knowledge that can be used to guide construction of case studies and enhance application of didactic course content to nursing practice. Students tend to undervalue the contributions of a nursing conceptual model to guide practice. By integrating a nursing conceptual model into the organization of course content and construction of case studies, students are exposed to how conceptual models can guide nursing practice. The purpose of this column is to explore the use of case studies for a senior level medical-surgical nursing course constructed within the context of the Roy adaptation model. Roy Adaptation Model The Roy adaptation model is a conceptual model of nursing that provides a solid foundation for nursing practice (Roy & Andrews, 1999). The philosophical and scientific assumptions of Roy’s model assert that the person is a holistic Nursing Science Quarterly, Vol. 20 No. 4, October 2007, 324-326 DOI: 10.1177/0894318407307159 © 2007 Sage Publications...

...An examination of two murder cases reveals that the ensuing sentences of capital punishment were appropriate. Such is demonstrated in the execution of eighteen year old Lowell Lee Andrews. In In Cold Blood, Truman Capote writes about Andrews’ crimes: “He fitted the revolver into a hip holster, shouldered the rifle, and ambled down a hall to the parlor… [He] aimed the rifle, pulled the trigger, and hit his siter between the eyes, killing her instantly. He shot his mother three times, and his father twice” (313). Before vacating the house, Andrews fired a total of twenty shots at his own kin. After he admitted to murdering his family he was put on trial for his case. Similarly to Smith and Hickock, Andrews pleaded innocent; nevertheless, the...

...Case Study: Absence of Parents and its Effect on Families Eric Anderson New Mexico State University This case will shed light on the challenges of substance abuse and family that is affected while a head family member is dealing with the corrections system. This case also shows the challenges faced by such a family as they struggle to keep their well-being when the provider is away, and the important role resiliency plays in the families ability to survive, and the why the family is affected just as much, if not more, by the absence of the provider. On January 24, 2014, I was able to interview the Smiths family for the purpose of including the results in a case study needed for my CJ 300 class. Andrew Smith is the father that has been taken away from his family for over a year because of a DWI that he received in 2013. Left outside of the system is his wife Angela Smith, Tyler Smith, 12, and his brother Paul Smith, 14. Last year Andrew was caught for a DWI and incarcerated as it was his 5th DWI offense. He has been in and out of jail for DWI and this has caused much financial strain on the family as DWI’s are hard on a low income family. Alcoholism has run in Andrew’s side of the family and his father even died from complications of being a long time alcoholic. The two boys are enrolled in school and Angela is working two minimum wage jobs to keep the family going financially. The boy’s friend’s parents must take the boys to and from school and they are left at home unsupervised...

Brian, the brain, appearance looks like a typical nerd. John, the criminal, wears a trench coat and dresses like a stoner. As their day winds down, the five students begin to realize that they are not so diverse after all. John and Andrew, who seemed to be diametrically opposed, notice that they are comparable in many ways. Making their first appearance by arriving at the school for detention, John walks up wearing sunglasses, and it is cloudy outside. He almost gets hit by a car that is approaching, but he keeps walking as if he did not care. Andrew’s father pulls up in modern-day Ford Bronco during the period of time in which the movie took place. Before Andrew gets exits the truck, Andrew’s father lectures him about his reason for going to detention. He tells him he should not have gotten caught, and asks how a school will give a discipline case a scholarship. Andrews’s father tells Andrew about all of the uncanny things he did when he was in high school. Andrew felt as if he had something to prove to his father. John’s father mentally and physically abuses him. John’s father says things to put John down. He calls him stupid, worthless, no good, and use profanity to call him other names.

Everyone likes feeling like they have a great opportunity that not everyone gets to have and that it is exclusive, especially when it feeds their financial greed. Those are the ingredients that helped Bernie Madoff build the biggest Ponzi investment scheme in history. Madoff maintains that he never meant for it to be anything more than him investing for close friends and family however the secrecy and not accepting just anyone are part of what made so many people want to be a part, thereby becoming one of the best marketing tactics ever.

...primarily and solely on the children are necessary to the psychological health of children impacted by divorce. Still, there is a need for improvement in interventions such as preventative programs during the divorce proceedings that will allow the child to express their emotions and social perspectives. Keywords: divorce, children, psychological impact, behavior Psychological Impact of Divorce on Children The cases of divorce have been gaining ground since 1965 (Hetherington, 1979). Even by prior statistical reports, there seems to be no break in the amount of divorce cases filed each year. Couples get divorced for a number of reasons such as financial strain, incompatibility, and infidelity. However, no matter the reason why a couple chooses to separate or divorce, the effects can be near catastrophic for the adults and especially the children in the family. The impact of divorce is so powerful, that it even affects adult children when the divorce occurs in mid-life age couples (Sumner, 2013). This number is on the rise as the number of divorce cases rises...

...his employers try to demonstrate that they were unaware of his condition or sexual preferences as he did not inform them. However, one of his partners had worked with a woman who had contracted AIDS via a blood transfusion and was familiar with the lesions. Rules of Law raised in film (if none, state none): Issues at hand are discrimination and wrongful firing due to a disability. Andrew, being a homosexual with aids, was discriminated upon. He was wrongfully let go and informed that it was due to his inability to perform at the level he was expected and had performed in the past. The Americans with Disabilities Act clearly prohibits discrimination based on a disability. Any impairment, physical or mental, that significantly limits major life activity is considered to be a disability. Andrew was able to perform his job without too much difficulty, so the fact that they were trying to fire on the grounds that he was sloppy with his work and the quality diminished was just a pretext for getting rid of him. It builds on the Civil Rights Act, which also relates to the film because of Andrew being a homosexual. This outlaws discrimination against racial, ethnic, national and religious minorities. The implementation of the subsequent laws, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, prohibits discrimination when hiring and firing employees. What other themes or issues does the film raise about...
