Lab Report
Method and results
To ensure there are no delays impeding you from completing this assessment, the data has already been collected for you. A sample of undergraduate psychology students was recruited from the campuses of the University. As part of their psychology course these students were given the opportunity to participate in the study by completing the Self-monitoring Scale (Snyder, 1975), a commonly used measure of self-presentation, and the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965; see
http://socy.umd.edu/quick-links/using-rosenberg-self-esteem-scale
for some starting information). The survey also obtained some demographic data, including the participant’s country of birth to use as a measure of their cultural identity.
Background to the study
Self-presentation can be defined as “a deliberate effort to act in ways that create a particular impression, usually favourable, of ourselves” (Vaughan et al., 2016, p. 67). Several dispositional, or personality, factors can influence the tendency of individuals to engage in self-presentation. For example adolescents who have low self-esteem are more likely to engage in fabrication to enhance their self-image than adolescents who have high self-esteem (Elliott, 1982). However other studies have found no relationship between self-esteem and self-presentation in social media use (Kramer & Winter, 2008). Further to this, cultural differences have been found for both self-esteem (Sprecher, Brooks, & Avogo, 2013) and self-presentation (Rui & Stefanone, 2013). This lab report will further investigate the relationship between self-esteem and self-presentation and how this relationship differs between cultures.
Rationale, aim and hypothesis
You will need to generate your own rationale, aim and hypotheses for the report such that they follow logically from the research you review in your introduction and align with the study methodology that has already been implemented (see below). Your rationale should identify how our study builds upon what has already been reported in the literature. You will need to formulate your own set of hypotheses to address each of the following:
1. A prediction regarding the difference in self-esteem across cultures
2. A prediction regarding the difference in self-presentation across cultures
3. A prediction regarding the relationship between self-esteem and self-presentation
4. A prediction regarding the cultural difference in the relationship between self-esteem and self-presentation
use references to support your points than the actual number of references you have. Nonetheless, as a rough guide, we recommend you aim for a minimum of 20 good quality sources (i.e., peer-reviewed research reports and literature reviews). You want to have enough space to delve deeply into the details of your sources, so you can adequately critique them, but also provide a comprehensive coverage of different viewpoints. With 20 references you should be able to do this, but this is a minimum so certainly feel free to include more if you can fit them in.

Topic: Clinical practice improvement paper
This assignment builds on the work that already attatched . You will be provided with:
� a CPI template that they must type their CPI paper into.
You will be required to use the library databases to locate a minimum of eight (8) secondary literature sources that closely relate to their nursing issue from Assignment 2. For example:
� systematic literature review, Cochrane review
� practice guidelines
� clinical protocol or guideline
� government report
� position paper of guideline from a reliable web-based resource (e.g. The Heart Foundation or the ARC etc).
You are permitted to use the same sources they used in the attatched Assignment if they were secondary sources.
You will be required to construct a CPI report using the supplied template. In order to pass this assignment, students must successfully address each of the criteria outlined on the Assignment marking rubric.

What does leadership in health care mean? Describe the aspects of this in relation to the aged care and disability health care sector. Consider the effect various styles of leadership may have on service delivery and quality care within both the community as well as individual case management. Explore the diversity within Western health care systems and the impact this may have on leadership decisions that may be made. Explain your answer with examples from your area of work. Use references where required to substantiate potential changes to decision making processes that may affect team management.

In this assignment you are required: to demonstrate knowledge of roles, responsibilities, styles and theories of leadership in Western health care, and to critically analyse the distance between the ‘heroic’ concepts of leadership and the present day reality of health care leaders.

Topic: Cystic Fibrosis

References to all be within 5 years and be credible sources (ex. New England journal of medicine)

1. Overview of the disease: history, population it affects, how disease starts to progress, disease manifestations, body reactions and defenses.

2. Diagnostic testing and procedures: normal/abnormal results, signs/symptoms, reasons for the test, nursing implications for each test, teaching, preparation.

3. History of treatment and current treatment: how treatment affects body, body responses, future (experimental or new treatments)

4. Health promotion and disease prevention: teaching (in detail )

5. Psycho-social issues including: how the patient is affected, family/caregiver issues, available resources: support groups and what the groups offer the patients.

Healthcare Economics

Book- Henderson, James.W ,health economics and policy 6th ed.

Read chapter 11 and 12 and choose one question to answer below.

Select one of the following critical analysis and discussion questions and post your answer. Please write out the question at the top of your answer.

a. View the video entitled, “Professor Warren Debunks A Few Healthcare Myths.” (The link may be found in the Content section.) U.S. Senator and Harvard Professor, Elizabeth Warren, debunks a few healthcare myths and presents some shocking statistics about our healthcare. For example, one of the myths is that having health care means we’re all protected and safe. Professor Warren says “75% of the families who ended up in bankruptcy in the aftermath of a serious medical problem had health insurance at the onset of the illness or accident that ultimately landed them in bankruptcy.” After watching the video, briefly summarize and discuss these myths of health care system as explained by Professor Warren.

b. Is it important to characterize such social problems as alcoholism and drug abuse as diseases rather than behavior disorders? What are the implications of treating other social problems as diseases? What about obesity? Domestic violence? What are the economic implications for the medical care system of the proliferation of these new “diseases”?

c. “It is impossible to place a dollar value on life. In other words, life is priceless.” How does this view create a dilemma for social decision making and effective resource allocation?

d. The United States takes pride in free market system, freedom, and individual achievements, yet one of the major problems in dealing with any welfare program is the tension between individual and social responsibility – Medicare is no different. Should adult children be responsible for the medical expenses of their parents? Where does individual and family responsibility end and social responsibility begin? Discuss the main issues surrounding the high cost of Medicare and Medicaid and what can be done to contain the cost in coming years.
