11: Special Topics in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
In your practice as a PMHNP, you may see many children and adolescents who are faced with challenges that go beyond the standard DSM-5 diagnoses. Children in foster homes or who have been adopted may have emotional scars from previous abuse or neglect; adolescents experiencing issues with gender dysphoria may be faced with peer and family issues; and children involved in acts of terrorism may face reoccurring fear and mistrust.
This week, you explore psychological issues that may arise in children faced with special circumstances and the assessment and treatment options specific to these special populations. You also take your final exam for the course.

Instructions: It is a well-known fact that people need to exercise to prevent being afflicted with diseases, especially those that are caused by unhealthy lifestyle. However, keeping an exercise routine for a college student is easily said than done. On the one hand, this is due to the number of academic requirements that we have to do every day. On the other hand, this is also due to the social life and other extra-curricular activities that consume most of our idle time. In other words, while exercising is noted in the calendars of most college students, this usually gets relegated when there is any spare time after everything else. However, what I realized lately was that exercising need not be done and scheduled as a whole day activity per week. Instead, I saw some videos saying that by doing small but continuous physical efforts every day (e.g., walking to school instead of riding the bus) one can experience the benefits of a one-time-per-week routine that others are doing. About this, I also realized that this kind of method could also be done in other aspects of life such as dieting by changing parts of what you eat little by little and not in one fell sweep. In fact, for four weeks now I make sure to walk going to school and other places and reduce the number of calories that I eat by changing portions of my meals to fruits. While the results might not be that good as having a strenuous workout routine, I believe that this is doing me well given that I have a very tight schedule. All in all, I think that by doing things little by little, I could then convince myself to increase the strenuousness of my activities little by little. 1 page / approx 275 words | Essay | Health, Medicine, & Nursing | High School | Other |
Instructions: You will be expected to find current news articles pertaining to the current topics in the Strategy course and to describe issues related to the 3C’s and 4P’s. Most often, firms that are in the news are in the news for a “bad” reason – they’ve made a mistake and lost customer support which has led to declining purchases, negative word of mouth, etc. Using the week’s relevant material, I’d like for you to:
1. Tell me what the problem is (the firm is experiencing problems because…..)
2. Suggest 1-2 reasons for why the firm might be struggling (e.g., the firm is struggling because it produced a product that is inconsistent with the brand image or the firm is struggling because a competitor produced a better product)
3. Propose a reasonable way forward (i.e., what the firm can do to mitigate losses or to recover from losses in profits). By “reasonable,” I mean a solution the firm could actually implement in order to improve. This recommendation should be specific (not, “I recommend the firm research what consumers want or the firm needs to advertise on social media) and should follow logically from your analysis on the first two points. Full marks will be awarded to assignments with a specific, logical plan of action that makes sense given potential budget constraints. If you recommend overly expensive social media or advertising campaigns without considering the firm’s budget and resources, your recommendation is likely to be considered one that is superficial. That is, your recommendation should be feasible and reasonable, especially given the current economic climate with tight budgets.
Your assignment should be no more than 2 pages, double spaced, 12 point font. If you prefer to write less, that is fine as long as you answer the questions put forth above. You will complete four of these assignments and I will drop your lowest score. Because of this policy, I will not accept late submissions. Perhaps unsurprisingly components 2 and 3 above are the most important parts of the assignment and will be weighed most heavily.
All material should come from current issues in the news – I do not want you focusing on problems firms faced and “solved” a year ago, I want you to focus on the issues of that week. Trusted news sources include many major media outlets (WSJ, Financial Times, NY Times) as well as marketing trade publications (American Marketing Association, AdWeek). Please avoid using opinion pieces for the basis as they are not held to the same standards of journalistic integrity and might be biased.
I will provide feedback on your written assignments – as such, they might take some time to grade, especially if I am unable to access consistent childcare during the pandemic (1-2 weeks). Please keep this in mind. 2 pages / approx 550 words | APA | Business & Marketing | Case Study | Undergraduate |
