...Danierian Williams Ms. Cooper Physics 2 December 2013 Periods of a Pendulum Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine how the varying masses from the three large washers influence the period of a pendulum. Data/Observation: Mass | Time for 10 Periods | 10 Period Average | Period | 17.3g | Trial 1 | 19.77sec | 20.05sec | 2.01sec | | Trial 2 | 20.74sec | | | | Trial 3 | 19.64sec | | | 33.8g | Trial 1 | 20.15sec | 20.18sec | 2.02sec | | Trial 2 | 20.40sec | | | | Trial 3 | 19.99sec | | | 50.3g | Trial 1 | 19.93sec | 19.69sec | 2.00sec | | Trial 2 | 19.52sec | | | | Trial 3 | 19.61sec | | | Conclusion: In conclusion, the data shows that if the varying mass of the washers at the end of the paper clip hook increase, then the time it takes for the pendulum to complete 10 periods will not change greatly. In result, the average periods of the three masses are close in time (2.01sec, 2.02sec, and 2.00sec). Variables: * The independent variable in the experiment is the number of washers and mass on the end of the paper clip hook. * The dependent variable in the experiment is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete 10 periods. * The controlled variable is the 20 degree amplitude from the resting point. Procedure: After assembling the pendulum and taking the mass of the washers, align the protractor’s 90° mark with the vertical string and use it as your 0 point of reference. While facing the protractor,...

...Galloway, Karisa ECS 101 Community Binder For the Community Resource Binder project I chose to interview Tri-Counties Regional Center about their speech therapy program. Tri-Counties has many different programs that branch off of their business. They help families in need that have children with disabilities. These disabilities can go from speech delay to a child with a mental disability. They have many professionals in the field that go out of their way to help families as best as they can to make life just a little bit easier for them and their child. My daughter and I have personally gotten to experience this ourselves, and I am still very pleased with their services. Every business has a mission they would like to achieve. With Tri-Counties their mission is to provide support for their families to make life, working, and learning easier. Tri-Counties does their best to meet all the needs of their families that they can. They begin with evaluating the child to see in what way they need help or if they do need any help. After the evaluation they decide in what areas the child needs help and go from there. The program that I chose to interview about was speech therapy. The program is funded by the government and they are a Public agency. As I was interviewing Heather Agrusa, I could hear in her voice how confident she was telling me about her job and the programs. Heather is about 28 years old and works as the Early Start Service Coordinator at Tri- Counties Regional...

...Clients for Specific Clinicians The relationship between the clinician and the client is a crutial aspect for the therapeutic outcome. Having a connection between the client and therapist can have many determining factors that lead to a positive evaluation and outcome of the therapy. There are many components and attributes a therapist must be aware of and contain to have a good helping relationship with their client. A client wants to have a positive experience when receiving help and if there is no relationship or positive understanding between each the outcome could be negative or the client could stop therapy early. The concept that was thought of in the early 1900’s to profile clients and match them with a clinician that would possibly have a more successful outcome with therapy should be used in a lot of therapeutic helping relationships, and goes along with the importance of having a good clinician-client relationship. Being able to profile a client to find out which therapist would be a good fit for them, would help the initial alliance between the therapist and client. A client’s relationship with their therapist is very important in helping have a positive outcome at the end of therapy. According to the article “Relationships Among Client-Therapist Personality Congruence, Working Alliance, and Therapeutic Outcome” both client and therapist have their own ways of thinking, morals, behaving, and other characteristics that will influence how they relate to each...

...This demeaning and hostile environment was initially created by direct face to face interactions, personal written notes and the manager of the rehabilitation hospital. After nearly 4 years of abuse the co-worker resigned from the position and the abusive co-workers remained at the job despite various reports sent to the manager about the abuse. B. The assistant of the rehabilitation hospital was in charge of the day to day flow/duties of patient care within the hospital. The day to day flow/ duties consisted of tasks such as: preparing wheelchairs for patients (pts.), putting equipment away, organizing recreational activities for pts., filing various documents on pts. and assisting pts. with various dressing routines in preparation for therapy. Initially, during the first year of being on the job, the assistant was well received by the therapists and commended on several occasions for her willingness to help anyone with anything and for doing an exceptional job at completing her day to day duties. Then a big turnover happened within the hospital in which all the therapists from the assistant’s first year were replaced by all newly graduated therapists. This major turnover also brought about a change within the “thought process” of management. Several of the newly graduates never worked in a hospital setting and began to fall behind with scheduling and accurately treating patients. The manager called a meeting in which she directly informed...

...to quit smoking. It should explain how the methods work and what former smokers that have used those techniques experienced with them. The classical means of smoking cessation are medical treatments. They vary from laser therapy to drugs that substitute Nicotine and other ingredients of cigarettes. The psychological approaches to quit smoking have gained more popularity in the last few years. Especially hypnosis is often considered as a very effective method to overcome smoking. Also acupuncture can be seen as a psychological approach since it affects the mind and not the body. In comparison to medical approaches, hypnosis and acupuncture cannot impact the body. It can also be cheaper than a laser therapy for example. However, not every individual is receptive for hypnosis and acupuncture. This makes the medical methods more reliable. The central issue is, that every smoker who wants to overcome his addiction should try different methods, both psychological and medical. My thesis is, that the most effective way for smoking cessation is a combined therapy of psychological and medical treatment. Further Examination & Discussion The main issue about smoking cessation aided by hypnosis is the fact that not every patient is receptive for this therapy. As H. Sutcher (2008) states, there are several stages of...

...Counseling of Counseling or Psychotherapy Introduction This application paper will discuss my personal theory of counseling or psychotherapy in a number of different areas. Specifically, I will discuss the seven areas of interest. First, I will discuss and describe my basic view of human nature, Second, I will determine key factors that account for changes in behavior. Third, I will describe the nature of the therapist client relationship and its importance. Fourth, I will describe key functions and role of the therapist. Fifth, I will discuss the goals of therapy. Sixth, I will determine the techniques and theories of my approach. Seventh, I will discuss specific client issues best suited for my approach. (Walden University, 2012). In this paper I plan to describe and explain my own personal model for counseling. My personal model of counseling uses Gestalt Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy and Adlerian Therapy which I think complement one another well My Basic View of Human Nature My basic view of human nature is a combination of Person -Centered, Gestalt and Existential theories of counseling (Corey, 2013a). I believe that we are all searching for what it means to be human. I also believe that people are both the product and the process of their choices that are influenced by thoughts and emotions. Self-awareness in the individual leads to greater freedom in the...

...and feeling worthless. Depression, among other psychological issues, can be treated with such orientations such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and biomedical therapies. Psychodynamic therapy suggests that one’s behavior and feelings are affected by their unconscious motives. It also suggests that one’s problems may be a result of unconscious conflicts leftover from childhood. The treatment corresponding with psychodynamic therapy includes the recovery of these unconscious conflicts through free association. This is where one will express thoughts exactly as they come without thinking. Another technique is dream analysis where a therapist can uncover the unconscious through interpreting the symbolic meaning of a client’s dreams. Transference is another technique used in which has proven to be successful because a client can reenact crucial relationships in a therapeutic environment which can bring out suppressed feelings of conflict so that they may be dealt with. Cognitive therapy’s suggests that a person can develop certain issues though how they perceive everything around them, especially if a person is habitually negative in their way of thinking. This form of treatment blends verbal and behavioral interventions. The main goal of cognitive therapy is to change negative thoughts and maladaptive beliefs. Biomedical therapy suggests that one’s behavior can be caused by biological factors such as genes and hormones. The two main forms of treatment...

...Rogers emphasized the therapeutic relationship in positive terms. He was one of the first psychologists to talk about optimal mental health. He engaged clients with a sincere appreciation of their own expertise in themselves. Less of an "expert" he was more a co-facilitator in clients' own therapeutic journey. The fundamental belief with this therapy is that the client wil eventually reconnect with their inner potential and do what they feel is ultimately comfortable for themselves. Rogers here is allowing her to find her own answers as thats the whole point really, he has total faith in her that she is self empowered in this way and that she has the ability to find the answers that are already inside of her as a mother. Rogers is not the expert on this, she is , so he wont answer. Rogers believed that we all have the resources within ourselves to sort our own issues. Rogers develops this theory through open questions and summaries, whilst maintaining an empathetic understanding of any decision she could make. He does not advise, but works with her own desires, to counsel. The transition that Gloria takes from having concerns with `lying`to her daughter to realizing that her daughter is not an issue here, rather it is her own self-acceptance that is judgemental of what she does with her love life. Roger's theory goes to the core of who we are as human beings - afterall we are social animals. A therapist guides in a non-directive way: This means there's a...

...Reducing Medication Errors Medication errors are a major problem in the healthcare community, and especially in pediatrics. “Up to 27% of all pediatric medication orders result in a medication error.” Keiffer, Marcum, Harrison, Teske, and Simsic (2014). There is far less room for error with drug administration when working with pediatrics. It should be a primary goal to significantly reduce the cases of medication error in ever facility. I will discuss the importance of reducing medical errors relating to a Pediatric Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit. The article titled Reduction of Medication Errors in a Pediatric Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit discusses the rate of medication errors in their unit, and the steps that were taken to try to eliminate or reduce the number of medication errors. “A medication error is defined as an error that occurs with the prescribing, dispensing, administering, adherence, or monitoring of a drug regardless of whether it results in patient harm or has the potential to result in patient harm.” Keiffer et al. (2014). The authors note that medication errors occur more often with administration issues as opposed to prescribing, ordering dispensing, or monitoring. The article discusses the health care professionals’ courses of action taken to reduce medication errors for their patients. The medical team implemented interventions and methods including: a double check system, hands free communication, a safety systems checklist, a distraction-free...
