PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS AND TREATMENTS Task 1 CASE STUDY Task 2 From the behavior displayed by Cathy, it comes out clearly that she is suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD). Social anxiety disorder has been defined as the fear that surrounds a person on a social situation and when interacting with unfamiliar people to bring an automatic feeling of self-consciousness and judgment. Looking at the case of Cathy as presented, we can conclude that she is a grown up as depicted by her age, 22 years. So the behavior she displays can’t be associated with childhood. From her story, we realize that she drives her own car when going to university, not because of any other reasons but because she fears using the public transport. Since we have not been presented with any case which might have led him to fearing public transport like accidents we conclude that she behaves that way to avoid being in a midst of crowds. This conclusion is however affirmed by her deliberate choice to leave his course of interest (Business studies) in the university because…

Social justice as one of the ethical issues nurses experience Social justice is one of the ethical issues that nurses, particularly those at family and community level experience. Working as a women health’s care nurse practitioners (WHNP) in one of the marginalized community, I have had an experience of the impact of social injustice particularly among the expecting women and had to act to help the vulnerable mothers and their babies. In the state where I work, WHNPs operates with full autonomy which motivated me to create access opportunities and improve health outcomes of the expecting mothers. Often, these mothers cannot afford high-quality care nor access obstetrician or gynaecologists due to their low socioeconomic status, which is not their wish. These impacts their health and babies since most mothers wait for complications to resolve on their own. Expecting mothers were waiting until conditions are worse to seek care which improves their chances of complications and reduces quality pregnancy outcome while others gave birth at home, which increased their chances of infecting of their babies.
