Response to Jorge Montanez-Bosquet According to Gallup’s assessment, Jorge’s strengths included analytical, deliberate, relator, strategic, and restorative. Jorge highlights that among the five strengths, he only exhibits analytical and deliberate skills. Jorge connects analytical strength with individual ability to scrutinize all the operations, actions, data, facts, and evidence that contributed to the current state of affairs, and this has to come from one’s desire and urge to solve problems and analyze solutions. However, an analytical leader should also demonstrate how the assessed information reaches others through significant influence and collaboration. This is because every individual works in the presence of others. Therefore, the impacts of their decisions, which concerns the overall wellbeing of an organization, are far wider felt. On the other hand, Jorge points out that people exhibiting deliberate strength portray serious care during decision making, and they anticipate obstacles. Moreover, Jorge highlights his core values to be integrity and excellent communication skills. What is important to note is that integrity encompasses a combination of kindness, honesty, and behaving ethically in an attempt to safeguard the patient’s well being…
PICO Analysis of Delirium Kukreja, Günther, and Popp (2015) describe delirium as an acute medical condition characterized by a loss or reduced recognition or attention. Delirium is a common medical disorder among patients aged be sixty-five and above. With a life expectancy of 78.7 in the US, cognitive aging is gaining a significant concern in the country’s healthcare system. On a global scale, countries with a life expectancy of 70 and above are becoming more bothered by the fact that the aging population is facing more complications ranging from loss of brain functionality to immobility in some cases. Research suggests that the prevalence of delirium among the elderly population is growing high each year (Kukreja, Günther, & Popp, 2015). Currently, the prevalence of the disorder is estimated to be 42% among this population. Severe cases of delirium have been characterized by high rates of mortality or permanent decline in functionality, long-term cognitive malfunction, with higher incidences of institutionalization of the patients. The identification of the condition in time is thought to present some potential prevention of the condition from running…

Tannis is also wondering if she will be able to live up to everyone’s expectations of her as the new leader.

The General strain theory The General strain theory is contrary based on the assumption that crime is a result of a negative relationship with others. It does not involve negative interpersonal behavior but also circumstances and events that subjectively expected to arouse negative emotions and characteristics such as parent abuse, abusive relationships, and unemployment e.t c A distinguishing factor with other crime theories the General strain theory suggests that strain results in an active negative state, which creates pressure for a corrective measure such as engaging in criminal activities. A clear example is when child abuse unavoidably builds on a child with a violent model. However, GST claims that the state of emotions consequently leads to crime. General strain theory centers on the negative implication of anger, which pressures an individual to exhibit negative action, consciously an individual state of mind is clouded. It reduces one’s concern for their acts or implication for one’s response. The theory supports that individuals who are easily irritated are more likely to experience a constant elevation in the state anger in reaction to strain…
Sampling strategy Target population As mentioned in the PICOT analysis, the research focuses on nurses as the Virginia Medical Centre who work long hours at the hospital and how that affects the quality of care that they give to patients. The research thereby targets two populations. Firstly, it aims nurses who work twelve hours a day and then exchange their shifts who have to be compared with nurses who work eight hours a day. The target populations are the two groups of nurses and their patients. The patients will only be observed for purposes of determining the quality of care that they have been given. Sampling approach sampling approach that focuses on the nurse, a non-probability sampling approach has to be used. Since the study is focusing on a particular quality on the nurses within Virginia Medical Centre, it is only fair to apply quota sampling (Faber, & Fonseca, 2014). Quota sampling helps in tailoring the two characteristics that we are looking for to the population interest. However, the population of patients who will analyze the type of care the…

The Cognitive Theory of Depression The cognitive approach of abnormal behavior is relatively modern and focuses on how people think, assuming that our behavior is affected by our thought processes. The model, supported by the works of Aaron Beck, George Miller, Ulrich Neisser, and Albert Ellis, was developed due to the failure of the early behaviorists in acknowledging feelings and thoughts. It illustrates the significance of cognition in understanding behaviors, ideas, and emotions, and in psychopathology, the tendency of people to create their problems depending on their interpretation of events they experience in their environment (Beck, 2002). Cognitive theorists propose distorted judgments and thoughts lead to depression. Therefore, any individual suffering from depression thinks differently in comparison to people without depression. The focus of this paper will be to demonstrate the causes and symptoms of depression based on the cognitive theory by different behavioral theorists. There are different variations by behavioral theorists on the cognitive way of thinking. Aaron Beck explains that negative thoughts due to dysfunctional beliefs are the leading cause of symptoms of depression. He further analyses…
