Clinical Case Report

Part 2: Case Description and Conceptualization

Part 2 of the clinical case report assignment should be in APA style (title page,

references, etc. but does not require an abstract). This part of the case report will likely

be 6-7 pages, without references. It should include:

(1) The case, with provisional diagnoses (already completed for the paper proposal but

likely modified based on my feedback and any other client information you find helpful in

conceptualization below). See above for guidelines about an effective case. (around 2

pages)

(2) A case conceptualization, to include risk and maintenance factors in the client's

diagnosis(es): (around 4-5 pages)

(2a) Should include a range of etiological factors, based on class readings and

discussions (i.e., cognitive model, memory, emotion, neurobiology,

social/contextual factors),

(2b) These etiological factors should be tied specifically to the case description

(that is, don't speak only generally of risk factors, but how this manifests for the

particular client). In some places (e.g., neurobiology), you may need to use some

conjecture, based on the literature. That is OK. However, your case should

include sufficient detail to be able to relate several risk factors to the

conceptualization.

(2c) Should include discussion of risk factors for, AND maintenance of, PTSD

and/or related symptoms

(2d) Should be integrative, as all risk and maintenance factors intersect (e.g.,

environment affects biology, social context influences both; don't just list

etiological factors)

(2e) Should consider culture and intersectionality of client.

(2f) Should include references to literature (in APA style). NOTE: Please avoid

excessive use of quoted text, instead summarizing/paraphrasing when possible.

Quoted text should be limited to points in which you think the initial wording is

absolutely necessary to convey the author's point, and, in many papers, does not

need to be used at all.

Grading Rubric for Clinical Case Report Part 2: Case Description and

Conceptualization (75 points)

____/22 Case description. Student provides detail on client's background, traumatic

experience(s), symptoms and presenting problems, impairment/distress, and within this

description, sufficient detail to support the case conceptualization.

____/35 Case conceptualization. Student describes risk AND maintenance factors

in the client's diagnosis(es), including a range of etiological factors (i.e., cognitive

model, memory, emotion, neurobiology, social/contextual factors and culture and

identity). These factors are tied specifically to the case description, when possible

and are integrative (i.e., intersections among etiological factors are discussed).

____/9 Incorporation of empirical research. Empirical research and course materials

are incorporated effectively to advance arguments and are cited appropriately in-text.

____/9 Grammar, style, mechanics. Paper is in APA style, includes references, is

proofread, and contains proper grammar, flow, transitions, and headings as appropriate.

Assignment #2: Two Mediums – Evaluative Essay – Initial Submission

For this assignment, students will write an evaluative essay comparing two media. You'll use the short story “The bear came over the mountain” (Munro, 2013) and the film 
Away from Her (Egoyan et al., 2006). You will begin working on this assignment with reading, viewing, drafting.

For this essay, the short story is the source material. You are going to evaluate how well the film stands up to the short story. First, you must establish the criteria. What makes the short story successful?  You want to think about this very carefully as you read and make notes. Notice elements of plot, structure, character, and point of view. You'll write about these in the first section of your paper. 

This essay should:

· have specific criteria, using the short story as source material

· use that criterion to make judgments about the film

· support the judgment with evidence from the text and film

· be 1000 words long

· have an explicit thesis statement, with the main idea (the topic of the paper) and a controlling idea (what you, as the author, is saying about the topic)

· In this case, we're making a judgment, and that should be included in the thesis.  Remember — this judgment is not about the film or text is good or bad. It's about whether or not the film lives up to the criteria established in the short story. 

· include an integrated, direct quote from the text/film to support the thesis in each of the body paragraphs

· be written using APA formatting

· use APA guidelines for citation, both in-text and on a References page

· avoid using 1st- or 2nd-person references (focus on objective 3rd-person references instead)

· be submitted as a MS Word .docx file

 

References and Citations:

Citation: (Munro, 2013).

Add paragraph numbers with direct quotes (Munro, 2013, para. 4).

All citations should be: (Egoyan et al., 2006).

Add timestamp number with direct quotes.

 Compare independent variables, dependent variables, and extraneous variables. Describe two ways that researchers attempt to control extraneous variables. Support your answer with peer-reviewed articles. 

Discussion

Purpose

Discuss barriers to practice as an APN in one’s state from both a state and national perspective.  Research methods to influence policy change from various forms of competition, state legislative and executive branches of government and interest groups. 

Preparing the Discussion

Using the readings from this week as well as reliable outside resources to: 

1. Identify and describe practice barriers for all four APNs' roles in your state and discuss these barriers on a state and national level. The four roles include the nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, nurse practitioner, and clinical nurse specialist.

2. Identify forms of competition on the state and national level that interfere with APNs' ability to practice independently.

3. Identify the specific lawmakers by name at the state level (i.e., key members of the state's legislative branch and executive branch of government)

4. Discuss interest groups that exist at the state and national levels that influence APN policy.

5. Discuss methods used to influence change in policy in forms of competition, state legislative and executive branches of government, and interest groups.

6. A scholarly resource must be used for EACH discussion question each week.
