Directions:Compete the following chart. An example has been provided for you in the first row. Include in-text citations in the table as well as an APA reference listing below. A minimum of two to three scholarly references should be included
Assessment Tool
Include the full name, description of the tool, and what the tool measures (i.e., opioids, process, withdrawal) Tool Description
Type of tool (paper, pen, structured, unstructured), how it is administered, how many questions, and general scoring information Appropriateness of Use
When/where the tool is appropriate or inappropriate to use, where the tool will most likely be used (i.e., online, in-patient, outpatient, clinic), and what specific population the tool is used for (i.e., adolescents, elderly, pregnant.)
CAGE Questionnaire
A brief 4 item, widely used questionnaire designed to assess alcohol use. CAGE is acronym for:
C=Cut down
A=Annoyed
G=Guilty
E=Eye opener

Paper and pen or orally administered Takes less than 1 minute, Yes or No response
Typically administered by health care professional or clinician and is client’s self- report, scored by tester
CAGE Questionnaire-4 questions
1. Have you ever felt you should Cut down on your drinking?

2. Have people Annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?

3. Have you ever felt bad or Guilty about your drinking?

4. Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover (Eye opener)?
Scoring: Item responses on the CAGE are scored as 0 or 1. A higher score is an indication of alcohol problems. A total score of 2 or greater is considered to be clinically ToollTsignificant Ewing, 1984; NIAAA, 2002) Often used in medical settings
Several adaptations of tool available for use including computerized and self- administered versions.
Free, in public domain and translated into many languages

Not used to assess for drugs but adapted CAGE-AID questionnaire can be used for drug use.
Best use is in adult populations

Criticism of the CAGE- not gender-sensitive. Women who are problem drinkers less likely to screen positive than men.
It identifies alcohol-dependent persons, but may not identify binge drinkers.
CAGE asks about “lifetime” experience rather than current drinking. A person who no longer drinks may screen positive unless the clinician directs the questions to focus on a more current time frame (ADAI, 2016).

Matching exercises give you an opportunity to practice definitions and develop logical and critical thinking skills. By using such techniques as inversion, diversion, and the process of elimination, you are able to greatly increase the probability of answering questions correctly. This is an important skill to have, as it is commonly found on nearly all standardized tests and increases critical thinking.

The objective of this exercise is to understand legal restraints on police action and instances of police abuse of power.

Literature Review

Requirements of submission: Written components of project must follow these formatting guidelines when applicable: double spacing, 12-point Times New

Roman font, 1-inch margins, and APA format for all elements. The literature review should be a minimum of six pages, not including references and a cover

page (which are required).

This should be a complete, polished artifact containing all of the main elements of the final product. It

should reflect the incorporation of feedback gained throughout the course. You should comprehensively review and integrate (at a minimum) seven scholarly

resources, including peer-reviewed research articles and/or well-respected texts.

Your literature review should answer the following prompt:

What is the overall appropriateness and practical value of your selected psychological assessment

measure?

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

Background of the test
What is the purpose of the test?
What type of test is it? What type of information does it yield?
How is it administered and scored? Who publishes the results?
For whom is this test intended? Who else has utilized this test?

Assessment of the test
To what extent does the test employ appropriate psychometric principles?
To what extent has the reliability and validity of the test been demonstrated for varying populations?
What are the cut scores for “normal” versus “at-risk” and/or “clinically significant”? Is the method for interpreting and
communicating the results (e.g., scaled scores, percentile ranks, z-scores, t-scores) appropriate?

Are there any specific cultural concerns that should be attended to? To what extent do cultural and environmental factors for
minorities or special populations impact the effectiveness of the measure?

To what extent are there ethical issues related to the use, administration, and interpretation of this measure?

III. Practical applications of the test

Under what circumstances would you give this test? Provide example scenarios in which the test would be helpful to another mental
health professional, parent, teacher, student, individual, court, business, or other profession?

For what purposes and with what clients would you not consider it useful? What are the limitations of this test?
What issues must you attend to carefully in order to present the test results accurately (e.g., not over- or under-interpret their
significance) and ethically?

What strategies would you use to help you or your client make decisions resulting from an assessment (e.g., pairing results with
other kinds of information)?

For over 20 years, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study has conducted research trials to examine factors that impact risks and development of conditions that impact women such as heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporotic fractures in postmenopausal women. Health care providers use results from these trials to develop guidelines for delivering care to patients. In your role in clinical settings, you must be familiar with these guidelines, and you must be aware that through clinical practice, guidelines frequently evolve and change. Often, what is considered a best practice today might not be a best practice in the future. For this Assignment, you compare guidelines outlined in the WHI study to current best practices for assessing and managing conditions.
To prepare:
-Review the Women’s Health Initiative article in this week’s Learning Resources. Select one disorder presented in this study
Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, & National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. (n.d.). Women’s Health Initiative: WHI background and overview. Retrieved March 20, 2013, from https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/whi/background.htm
The disorder I choose I choose is: Breast Cancer Risk (April 2006)
-Locate and select a research article that addresses current best practices for assessing and managing the disorder you selected. Be sure that the research article you select is from a reputable source.
Consider the similarities and differences between the best practices presented in the WHI study and the article you selected ( I will attach the article). Think about the potential impact of differences in best practices on women’s health.
Consider whether the best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice.
To complete:
Write a 2 -page paper that addresses the following:
Describe the disorder you selected from the Women’s Health Initiative study.
Explain the current best practices for assessing and managing this disorder as suggested in the research article you selected.
Compare the best practices presented in the WHI study to the current best practices presented in the article. Explain how the differences in best practices might impact women’s health.
Explain whether you think the current best practices in the article you selected should be used in clinical practice. Support your position with evidence-based research.

Interprofessional practice requires that health care practitioners recognize that patient outcomes are better when there is a collaborative team approach in addressing patient health issues. Also, there are barriers to interprofessional practice that must be addressed among health care practitioners. The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) is an initiative including multiple professions designed to advance interprofessional education so that students entering health care professions are able to view collaboration as the norm and seek collaborative relationships with other providers (IPEC, 2011).
This week your Discussion will focus on interprofessional practice. This Discussion is an opportunity for you to examine your perspective and experiences with interprofessional collaborative practice and to apply your knowledge to managing patient care.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Identify a professional nursing organization and review their position on interprofessional practice
Review the following case study:
Case Study:
Ms. Tuckerno has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). The patient receives care at an internal medicine clinic. Her internist is not in the office today and she is being treated by the nurse practitioner. The patient is on two medications for her MS, three different blood pressure medications, one medication for thyroid disease, one diabetic pill daily, insulin injections twice a day, she uses medical cannabis, and uses eye drops for glaucoma. Upon assessing the patient, the nurse practitioner (NP) decides her treatment plan should be adjusted. The NP discontinues some of the patient’s meds and discontinues medical cannabis. She orders the patient to follow up in two weeks.
The patient returns and is seen by her internist. The internist speaks with the patient and reviews her medical chart. The internist states to the patient, “I am dissatisfied with the care you received from the nurse practitioner.” The internist places the patient back on originally prescribed medications and medical cannabis.
Post on or before Day 3 an explanation of your understanding of interprofessional practice. Also, explain the position on interprofessional practice for a professional nursing organization that you are a member of or of which you plan to become a member. Then, explain what you think is the best collaborative approach to manage Ms. Tuckerno’s care.
Read a selection of your colleagues’ responses.
