Biopsychosocial Medical Interview Model and Alzheimers Over the years, researchers have proposed various non-medical and psychosocial models for the treatment of Alzheimer’s. Nonetheless, addressing Alzheimer’s patients’ unique needs using a model that integrates biological, social, and psychosocial processes in its management. Present models provide an increased understanding of factors that improve or worsen instead of illustrating the impact psychological factors have on the disease’s contextual biological processes. Accordingly, this paper explores the impact of the application of biopsychosocial medical interviews. With dementia being a multifactorial condition, only a few researchers address the differences between the biomedical and psychosocial interview models in its management. For this reason, a rationale exists for analyzing these differences to provide the caregiver with a practical guide for implementing effective interventions in older adults living with dementia.   Biopsychosocial Medical Interview Model and Alzheimers In contrast to the traditional biomedical interview model, the biopsychosocial medical interview model focuses on the micro-level interactions between individuals. Its effectiveness in meeting the social needs of older adults with Alzheimer’s depends on reducing disabilities, promotion of cognitive functions, mood, and…

Reinforcement. Behavioral psychology refers to any consequence which, when applied, will strengthen any given organism’s future behavior when it is preceded by an antecedent stimulate strengthening behavior that may be measured in terms of frequency of the action, magnitude, or duration. In other words, reinforcement can also be defined as any process of developing or encouraging various patterns of behaviors through encouragement and rewards. Reinforcement is the most used principle in behavior analysis. It is used by people in applied behavior to increase the number of frequencies and response. There are two types of reinforcers: unconditioned, while another one is called conditioned reinforcers. The primary reinforcer typically refers to any given stimulus, which is essential biologically to the organisms. They include sleep, water, shelter, extremizing pleasure, and safety. In other words, the primary can be categorized as innate or biological aspects that can strengthen and motivate behaviors. On the other hand, generalized reinforcers sometimes are classified as secondary reinforcers. Under normal circumstances, they are paired up with primary reinforcers. Some examples of generalized reinforcers include affection. When affection is paired…

  Sensory Assignment Part 1 In the simulation video, walking through this store initially felt irritating due to the loud noise and the speed at which everything was moving. My hearing and vision systems were adversely affected by the noise and the hard to comprehend stimuli.  I could only pick out a few faces and names tags of a few items in the store.  However, I adapted to the noise eventually, and it felt calm as the simulation came to an end. This was, however, a stressing experience due to the loudness and the fast-moving blurred images. However, a person with sensory processing difficulties would not be able to shut out any of the information present in this store simulation and become engaged in the fight or flight stance. Due to the huge information flowing in this store, they would experience information overload and be forced to withdraw to save their brains from agony.  Walking into such a store for someone with difficulties would be agonizing, and they would most likely feel overwhelmed by loads of information present in this…

Health care providers are expected to give hope of longer life and expected healing to patients rather than cause panic, especially when giving a critical diagnosis. Regarding the statement, ‘when Richard Arrives, the doctor says that there has been no change in his condition, and that there is no remedy for his kind of cancer.’ The statement was harsh and inhumane because it was not delivered ethically. The specialist should have been more empathetic to Richard and consider the effect of his choice of words on the patient’s life. Directly telling a patient that nothing could be done to reverse their condition might be harsh and may cause the patient to develop a panic attack. Besides, the statement could make the patient lose hope for his life and affect his health condition more. Therefore, specialists should develop a friendly relationship with patients to understand them and thus learn the best way to disclose diagnosis without hurting their feelings. Also, I think the doctor should have used the positive language of hope for the person living with cancer. For example, he…

  Safety Needs in Healthcare Safety needs in health care are broad, and they range from the patients to the healthcare providers. When discussing the issue, it is essential to focus on a specific area to identify the areas that need safety when it comes to healthcare. In this paper, the discussion will entail an article by Catherin Conlan on the 10-patient safety concern healthcare providers need to know about. According to WHO (2020), patient safety is when preventable harm is absent to the patients during health care provision. This may happen in different ways, such as medication error, diagnostic error, workplace safety measures, old hospital facilities problem, and data management problems. Safety in healthcare starts with the patients, followed by the works of the healthcare providers, and finally by the state of the healthcare facility. Starting with the patient, it is essential to note that diagnostic error and medication errors are the many issues faced in health care. When patients arrive and are diagnosed with the wrong symptoms, it is probably and most likely that they will receive the…

Virtue Faculty of reason, moral virtues, and happiness are understood differently. Aristotle offers an opportunity to review the three points through an extensive explanation of the rational principle. Moral virtue is acquired through the repetition of acts. On the other hand, the reasoning is determined by intellectual and moral virtue. Happiness is developed through experience and time. Moral virtue occurs due to a habit it starts from birth and further acquired as a person grows up. Aristotle offers an understanding of happiness in light of what is said about it. Some identify happiness with a virtue practical of philosophical wisdom. It occurs by nature, and different conditions define the context of happiness. Virtue is explained as a praiseworthy context that is featured by acquired characteristics. On the other hand, happiness goes beyond praise because of the actions and experiences that one encounters. It is an irrational element that is widely distributed and occurs naturally The three elements are, therefore, connected through rational principles. However, virtue is distinguished based on the moral and intellectual wisdom. Rationality and the determination of the…

limitations The research had some limitations tied to the observation methodology used. Since one is supposed to observe the participants that are unaware, it is not easy to monitor the movement of all the participants at once in the whole library. Besides, it needs a lot of concentration, and this can be challenging to pay attention to all details. The exercise can lead to fatigue as one sits for a very long time at a place, which again leads to monotony. Also, to mention, there are physical barriers that obstruct the researcher, making one fail to capture essential details in the study. During the coding process, difficulties are there since the subjects observed exhibit behaviours that were not anticipated during the planning, such as some students eating in the library and holding group discussions in places designed for individual reading. The coding system used to record the data was simple and straightforward. For instance, different activities exhibited by students in the library were assigned to codes or only abbreviations for easement of the process. To avoid confusion in using the…
