Assignment Details
Class characteristics are very useful to eliminate a person from being the suspect in an investigation. If a shoe impression is clearly a size 12 men’s shoe and the person who may be involved wears a size 8 shoe, even though the soles may be the same pattern, clearly the footwear impression made by the suspect cannot have been from the shoes of the person being interviewed. In the same consideration, if a suspect has 8 pairs of shoes and is a size 12, but only one pair has Panama Soles—the pattern left by the suspect at the scene—then only one pair of shoes needs to be examined (the one with the Panama Soles—the most common sole pattern in the United States).
Research the following points, and write a 4–6-page paper fully explaining each point:
– State and explain why evidence must be relevant to a case being investigated to be admitted into court. Cite 2 items of evidence that would likely be considered irrelevant as evidence, and explain why they would be irrelevant.
– In the United States, there are forensic databases that are accessible to law enforcement and corrections to assist in identifying unknown persons. Name 3 of them.
– In the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) there are two specific indices. One pertains to forensics and the other to offenders. Explain the two different indexes and what they do

Rubric for Research Paper

Main Post The psychiatric interview is one of the important diagnostic procedures in psychiatry, whereby relevant information is elicited intelligently to develop rapport with the patient for an effective treatment plan. The development of rapport, taking of psychiatric history, and mental status examination are the three common elements of the psychiatric interview. These three elements are foundational in the understanding of the client’s experiences and ensuring a thorough evaluation. It is important to build rapport because it lays a foundation of trust and frees the flow of information. The therapeutic alliance provides a setting in which clients are secure and safe to share personal information that may even be sensitive. Hartley et al. (2020) suggest that rapport ensures the commitment of the client to treatment, which is most needed in psychiatry, given the stigma and fear that might make one avoid an honest communication. Empathy from the clinician, listening attentively, and absence of judgment go a long way in contributing to this alliance, positively affecting the interview process and further interventions. Another important aspect involves the collection of a thorough psychiatric history. In this case, it involves an exploration into the client’s presenting symptoms, past psychiatric and medical history, family history of mental health disorders, social and developmental background, and substance use patterns. This may put the etiology of a client’s mental health condition in perspective, aid the identification of risk factors, and permit interventions to be accordingly adapted (Savander et al., 2021). A good history enables the clinician to distinguish between primary psychiatric disorders, medical conditions with active psychiatric presentations, and substance-induced disorders. The other component involved is the mental status examination (MSE) that entails looking systematically at the current psychological state of a client with regard to appearance, behavior, mood, thought content, perceptual abnormality, and insight. This is an evaluation of the client’s psychological condition and mental status that enables the provider to get present time information, adding insights to data that has already been obtained from the earlier parts of the interview (Lenouvel et al., 2022). If done properly, an MSE points to where a client may be malfunctioning, such as in cognitive functioning or psychotic disturbance, and contributes to the right diagnosis. The geriatric depression scale (GDS) is a self-administered inventory devised to be employed in conjunction with a formal psychiatric interview, so that more accurate diagnosis can be made. It is a self- administered questionnaire screening tool, that aims to identify depressive symptoms in elderly people. This is ideal for elder people since problems related to dementia or physical disability may interfere with other kinds of evaluation and comprises of a list of yes/no questions, which are simple to apply and grade. This tool has high sensitivity and specificity where, sensitivity of the 5-item GDS version ranges from 80 to 100 percent, while specificity in detecting depression of the elderly is between 70 to 85 percent (Brañez-Condorena et al., 2021). The GDS is most appropriate when administered in conjunction with psychiatric interviews of older people who present with signs such as depression, loss of interest in activities, or somatic complaints. The tool helps, for instance, to separate a case of depression from dementia, an aging-related condition where mood changes may be secondary instead of primary. Because the scale gives an actual index of response to treatments, it is also helpful in tracking the course of patients’ symptoms in terms of severity (Brañez-Condorena et al., 2021). Its integration into psychiatric assessment helps to promote holistic care and enhances an early detection of depression allowing for timely intervention.

In a 5–7 page written assessment, assess the effect of the patient, family, or population problem you’ve previously defined on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group you’ve chosen to work with and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form. Report on your experiences during your first two practicum hours.
Organizational data, such as readmission rates, hospital-acquired infections, falls, medication errors, staff satisfaction, serious safety events, and patient experience can be used to prioritize time, resources, and finances. Health care organizations and government agencies use benchmark data to compare the quality of organizational services and report the status of patient safety. Professional nurses are key to comprehensive data collection, reporting, and monitoring of metrics to improve quality and patient safety. In this assessment, you’ll assess the effect of the health problem you’ve defined on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend at least 2 direct practicum hours working with the same patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also choose to consult with subject matter and industry experts. To prepare for the assessment: Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed. Conduct research of the scholarly and professional literature to inform your assessment and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence.

Part 2 Report on your experiences during your first 2 practicum hours, including how you presented your ideas about the health problem to the patient, family, or group. Whom did you meet with? What did you learn from them? Comment on the evidence-based practice (EBP) documents or websites you reviewed. What did you learn from that review? Share the process and experience of exploring the influence of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy on the problem. What barriers, if any, did you encounter when presenting the problem to the patient, family, or group? Did the patient, family, or group agree with you about the presence of the problem and its significance and relevance? What leadership, communication, collaboration, or change management skills did you employ during your interactions to overcome these barriers or change the patient’s, family’s, or group’s thinking about the problem (for example, creating a sense of urgency based on data or policy requirements)? What changes, if any, did you make to your definition of the problem, based on your discussions? What might you have done differently? The assessment requirements, outlined below, correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, note the additional requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence.

This assignment is a hypothetical exercise. For this assignment, imagine you will suddenly need to leave the area you are currently living in and travel by foot (or wheel chair/other mobility aid if you normally use one, but not any vehicles) about 1,500 miles (about 2,400 km) (for example, if you are currently in Reno, Nevada this would put you in about Kansas City, Kansas if you traveled East, or around Edmonton, AB, Canada if you traveled North, etc.). You can pick any new destination that is roughly 1,500 miles away from your current location (as a note, this is about the distance many migrants travel to get to the United States).
For this assignment, please: Create a visual presentation with voice-over (a Power Point presentation with speech, Prezi, a video, uploaded images with voice-over, etc.). You can be creative with this assignment so long as there are both audio and visual elements. Make sure that you answer all of the 10 questions about in your presentation. OR You will need to write a 3-page (minimum) paper that includes at least 5 visual aids (such as pictures of maps, items, etc.). Make sure that you answer all of the 10 questions about in your paper. (Please note that large images will not count towards the total length of your paper.) This assignment was inspired, in part, by “The Social Life of Things Download The Social Life of Things” featured on page 476 of Chapter 13 in the textbook “Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age” (Guest 2020)1.(I have linked that reading here Download here.) In that excerpt the discussion of what people carry, and discard, as they travel (often by foot) across borders is presented as a site for archaeological and material culture research. Additionally, in the video “The Trek: A Migrant Trail to America | The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper (CNN 2023)” (found within Chapter 8 Videos / Pre-Reading Links) the abandoned material objects were shown as sometimes the sole remaining evidence that a person existed, and passed through. This assignment is a hypothetical exercise. For this assignment, imagine you will suddenly need to leave the area you are currently living in and travel by foot (or wheel chair/other mobility aid if you normally use one, but not any vehicles) about 1,500 miles (about 2,400 km) (for example, if you are currently in Reno, Nevada this would put you in about Kansas City, Kansas if you traveled East, or around Edmonton, AB, Canada if you traveled North, etc.). You can pick any new destination that is roughly 1,500 miles away from your current location (as a note, this is about the distance many migrants travel to get to the United States). You can take whatever you want on your imaginary journey, so long as you could carry it. Also, consider that you would likely not be welcomed at borders, and consider the environment, season/s, and terrain of the distance you would, hypothetically, be traveling; along with how you would meet your basic needs along the way, and once you arrived at your destination. Cover these questions in your presentation: What are your starting and end points (e.g. Reno to Edmonton, etc.); what is the exact distance in miles or kilometers? Realistically, about how long would it take you to get there by foot (considering distance, your average rate of speed, rest time, overnight stops etc.). What are the various environments and terrains you would be passing through; include weather forecasts and what would be your plans for dealing with different weather during the different seasons. How would you plan to meet your basic human needs (food/water/shelter) while traveling. Describe the items you would, hypothetically, bring with you. You would be leaving everything else you own behind. Why would these items be useful, needed, and/or meaningful? Are any of these items culturally significant (not just basic human needs)? Which ones, how so? Now imagine you had to discard several items along the way (at least two or more items); which items would you discard? What would be the most likely reason you would have to discard these items, where would they mostly likely be discarded, and why did you choose those particular items to discard? What would be your plan once you arrived at your destination in terms of work, resources, contact, legal issues, etc.? You may add any other relevant details or ideas to this outline if you want, so long as you cover the basic 9 points above.
