 IHP 525 Milestone Four Guidelines and Rubric Overview: Your task is to help the organization answer their question by critically analyzing the data. You will run descriptive statistics and a statistical test, create a graph, interpret the results, and present the results and recommendations to non-technical decision makers in the form of a statistical report. Keep in mind that it is your job to do this from a statistical standpoint. Be sure to justify your conclusions and recommendations with appropriate statistical support. Prompt: In Milestone Three, you created a table listing the statistics you were going to complete to investigate your health question. In Milestone Four, you will actually complete these calculations. Specifically, you must address these critical elements: A. Graphs: In this section, you will use graphical displays to examine the data. 1. Create at least one graph that gives a sense of the potential relationship between the two variables that form your chosen health question. Include the graph and discuss why you selected it as opposed to others. B. Conduct an appropriate statistical test to answer your health question. C. Explain why this test is the best choice in this context. D. Analysis of Biostatistics: Use this section to describe your findings from a statistical standpoint. Be sure to: 1. Present key biostatistics from the graph(s) and statistical test and explain what they mean. Be sure to include a spreadsheet showing your work or a copy of your StatCrunch output as an appendix. 2.

Hello Professor and Fellow Classmates,

1.  Reflecting on your first video in the course, what changes did you make for Assignment 3 to improve your Executive Presence?

• Compared to Assignment 3, I felt more comfortable in presenting a video presentation, and I feel that alone helped me to feel more relaxed and confident which in my opinion helped improve my executive presence. I also feel that rehearsing and timing myself helped to convey my knowledge on the subject I discussed within my presentation.

2.  What have you learned this term about how you communicate in the workplace?

• This course has helped me to see that I communicate with a lot of emotion in the workplace however, at times the emotions I give off aren’t always received properly. This has caused me to think in detail about what I’m communicatin,g and the tone in which I’m communicating my thoughts.

3.  In what ways have you improved your communication skills during this term?

–  To answer this question I went over the comments Professor Paulson left on each of my assignments and compared them to the last, and in doing so I could see my growth without the course. From week to week in the beginning of the course, I noticed that Professor Paulson enjoyed my post however, he would remind to rely my message clearly so that my entire audience would understand my point of view. Now I am able to do this, and I am able to do so by questioning my thoughts and using a strength that I already have; looking at the subject matter from all angles. This course has helped me to develop that skill even more and help to improve my communication.

4.  What will you do going forward, to continue to improve your Communication Skills and Executive Presence?

• When I conclude any course I reflect on the quarter as a whole, and this quarter was rough. The coursework wasn’t difficult to understand however, I found myself not being able to put my all into weekly discussion boards, and assignments the way I would have liked to. This quarter has been an emotional roller coaster with COVID-19, e-learning with my son, working from home, maintaining the household, and now the recent events of the country I have become overwhelmed. I always thought of myself as one that is organized and can handle pretty much anything you threw my way, but the last 10 weeks have tested all of my previous notions of myself. I give that brief summary of current feeling in coming to the end of the quarter to help you understand that in going forward I have no choice to continue to resort back to this courses content and reading materials. Again, not because I didn’t understand the coursework, but because I plan to continually improve on my communication skills and my executive presence with the knowledge I have gained within this course, and from the knowledge I have yet to find within the course material.

 Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016) stated, “Clients are affected by and in constant dynamic interactions with other systems, including families, groups, organizations, and communities” (p. 35-36). As a social worker, when you address the needs of an individual client, you also take into account the systems with which the client interacts. Obtaining information about these systems helps you better assess your client’s situation. These systems may provide support to the client, or they may contribute to the client’s presenting problem.

For this Discussion, review “Working With People With Disabilities: The Case of Lester.”Consider the systems with which Lester Johnson, the client, interacts. Think about ways you might apply a systems perspective to his case. Also, consider the significance of the systems perspective for social work in general.

Post a Discussion in which you explain how multiple systems interact to impact individuals. Explain how you, as a social worker, might apply a systems perspective to your work with Lester Johnson. Finally, explain how you might apply a systems perspective to social work practice.

Working With Clients With Disabilities: The Case of Lester

Lester is a 59-year-old, African American widower with two adult children. He lives in a medium-sized Midwestern city. Four months ago, he was a driver in a multiple vehicle crash while visiting his daughter in another city and was injured in the accident, although he was not at fault. Prior to the accident he was an electrician and lived on his own in a single-family home. He was an active member in his church and a worship leader. He has a supportive brother and sister-in-law who also live nearby. Both of his children have left the family home, and his son is married and lives in a nearby large metropolitan area.

When he was admitted to the hospital, Lester’s CT showed some intracerebral hemorrhaging, and the follow-up scans showed a decrease in bleeding but some midline shift. He seemed to have only limited cognition of his hospitalization. When his children came to visit, he smiled and verbalized in short words but could not communicate in sentences; he winced and moaned to indicate when he was in pain. He had problems with balance and could not stand independently nor walk without assistance. Past medical history includes type 2 diabetes; elevated blood pressure; a long history of smoking, with some emphysema; and a 30-day in-house treatment for binge alcoholism 6 years ago following his wife’s long illness with breast cancer and her subsequent death.

One month ago he was discharged from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility, and at his last medical review it was estimated he will need an additional 2 months’ minimum treatment and follow-up therapies in the facility.

As the social worker at the rehab center, I conducted a psychosocial assessment after his admission to rehabilitation. At the time of the assessment, Lester was impulsive and was screened for self-harm, which was deemed low risk. He did not have insight into the extent of his injury or changes resulting from the accident but was frustrated and cried when he could not manipulate his hands. Lester’s children jointly hold power of attorney (POA), but had not expressed any interest to date in his status or care. His brother is his shared decision making (SDM) proxy, but his sister-in-law seemed to be the most actively involved in planning for his follow-up care. His son and daughter called but had not visited, but his sister-in-law had visited him almost daily; praying with him at the bedside; and managing his household financials, mail, and house security during this period. His brother kept asking when Lester would be back to “normal” and able to manage on his own and was eager to take him out of the rehabilitation center. Lester seemed depressed, showed some flat affect, did not exhibit competency or show interest in decision making, and needed ongoing help from his POA and SDM. His medical prognosis for full recovery remains limited, with his Glasgow Coma Scale at less than 9, which means his injury is categorized as catastrophic.

Lester currently has limited mobility and is continent, but he is not yet able to self-feed and cannot self-care for cleanliness; he currently needs assistance washing, shaving, cleaning his teeth, and dressing. He continues with daily occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) sessions. He will also need legal assistance to apply for his professional association pension and benefits and possible long-term disability. He will also need help identifying services for OT and PT after discharge. He will need assistance from family members as the determination is made whether he can return to his residence with support or seek housing in a long-term care facility. He will need long-term community care on discharge to help with basic chores of dressing and feeding and self-care if he is not in a residential care setting. A family conference is indicated to review Lester’s current status and short-term goals and to make plans for discharge.
