The article must be obtained from the GCU Library.
The article must be a research study, rather than a literature review (i.e., the article has to have methods, results, and discussion sections).
The article must utilize a cognitive or behavioral theory, model, or effect.
The purpose of this article review is to get you to think critically about an area of cognition or learning. After reading your chosen article, address the following questions. Use subheadings to differentiate between the various aspects of your review. Remember, APA guidelines can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
Major Findings/Conclusions:
Be sure to include the major findings of the study.
What conclusions did the researchers draw from the data?
Implications for the Field of Psychology (how the findings could be used/applied in the field):
Include how the results of the study can be applied (e.g., why are the findings of the study important?). These may be the implications the authors put forth, or your own ideas (be sure to cite if they are not your ideas).
How would psychology/education/counseling professionals benefit (learn) from the findings?
How might the results improve knowledge or application in the field? What should psychology professionals “take away” from the findings?
Method/Participants:
Describe the basics of how the study was conducted. What procedures were used?
Who were the participants?
Strengths/Limitations of the Study:
Include at least one strength AND one limitation you saw in the study.
Explain why you believe each is a strength or limitation. Hint: study findings are not “strengths” in and of themselves.

Discussion: Exercise Induced Asthma
Module 10: Discussion A 28-year-old male presents to the primary care office for evaluation of left calf pain, swelling, and redness. He reports that this started one day ago and worsened today. He ran a 27-mile marathon 2 days ago and traveled for 3 hours in a car today. He reports slight pain on walking and a swollen red calf. He took Ibuprofen 600 mg twice today without relief. Patient reports being an experienced runner, running 3-5 miles daily. He trained for the marathon for 4 months. Patient also reports a history of exercise induced asthma and uses albuterol sulfate HFA as needed. On physical exam patient appears in good health T 99 P 68 R 18 BP 118/78 wt. 175 lb, height 72 in. BMI 23.1. Heart rate is regular without murmurs, rubs, or gallops. Lungs clear bilaterally. HEENT WNL.Strength lower extremities +5 and DTRs + 2.Left calf erythematous, edematous, warm and tender on palpation.Pulses 3+. Two possible diagnoses were considered: deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and rhabdomyolysis. Stat ultrasound of left leg to rule out DVT was ordered and read as normal CBC WNL Creatine Kinase (CK) 23,000 U/L (normal 24-170 U/L) BUN and Creatinine WNL A diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis was made. 1. Discuss the pathophysiology of acute renal failure in rhabdomyolysis.
Exercised-induced asthma is a narrowing of the airways in the lungs triggered by strenuous exercise. It causes shortness of breath, wheezing, coughing and other symptoms during or after exercise.
The preferred term for this condition is exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (brong-koh-kun-STRIK-shun). This term is more accurate because the exercise induces narrowing of airways (bronchoconstriction) but isn’t a root cause of asthma. Among people with asthma, exercise is likely just one of several factors that may trigger breathing difficulties.
Most people with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction can continue to exercise and remain active by treating the symptoms with common asthma medications and taking preventive measures.
Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction may begin during or soon after exercise. These symptoms may last for 60 minutes or longer if left untreated. The signs and symptoms may include:
Coughing
Wheezing
Shortness of breath
Chest tightness or pain
Fatigue during exercise
Poorer than expected athletic performance
Avoidance of activity (a sign primarily among young children)
When to see a doctor
See your doctor if you experience any signs or symptoms of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. A number of conditions can cause similar symptoms, making it important to get a prompt and accurate diagnosis.
Get emergency medical treatment if symptoms are getting worse, such as:
Shortness of breath or wheezing that is quickly increasing, making it a struggle to breathe
No improvement even after using a prescription inhaler for asthma attacks
Causes
It’s not clear what causes exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. There may be more than one biological process involved. People with exercise-induced bronchoconstriction have inflammation and may have excess mucus production after strenuous exercise.
Risk factors
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction is more likely to occur in:
People with asthma. About 90 percent of people with asthma have exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. However, the condition can occur in people without asthma too.
Elite athletes. Although anyone can experience exercise-induced bronchoconstriction, it’s more common in high-level athletes.
Factors that may increase the risk of the condition or act as triggers include:
Cold air
Dry air
Air pollution
Chlorine in swimming pools
Chemicals used with ice rink resurfacing equipment
Activities with extended periods of deep breathing, such as long-distance running, swimming or soccer
Complications
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction that is not treated can result in:
A lack of beneficial exercise
Poor performance in activities you would otherwise enjoy
Serious or life-threatening breathing difficulties, particularly among people with poorly managed asthma

MHA 612 Week 4 Discussion: Strategic Planning and Financial Planning
Strategic Planning does not have one specific definition, but the concepts of what strategic planning is are similar (Cleverley & Cleverley, 2011). Strategic planning is essentially the process of using strategy to meet an organization’s common goals. It’s the process of planning, assigning goals and direction, allocating resources, and ultimately making decisions that will bring the group closer to its goals and objectives. Agreements are also made between the parties are centered-around common goals and the possible outcomes of the planning process. Ultimately, a business cannot function properly without some form of strategy and a strategic planning process in place.
Financial planning and strategic planning go hand-in-hand as it relates to business endeavors. Once the strategic goals are mapped out by the company, the financial planning comes into play to help the organization achieve those goals. Financial planning is the monetary roadmap to conquering the strategic goals. A financial plan is typically established after the strategic goals have been set. Within financial planning, there are typically six primary steps: Establish the goal, gather the data, analyze the data, develop the plan, implement the plan, and monitor the plan (Thune, 2018).
Strategic and financial planning are two separate types of strategy that must follow one another in a successful business model. However, if the two are not aligned there are some consequences. Since financial planning directly follows strategic planning, it would be impossible to carry-out successful strategic goals without a solid financial plan. For example, if a household does not have a budget, the household may find themselves in a situation where certain bills are not paid, and thus, there are consequences for that. If household bills are not paid accordingly, the vendor will terminate services. Similarly with financial planning, if there is not budget, the plan cannot carry out successfully the goals set forth in the strategic plan.

Each response should be at least 150 words and include cited scholarly support. Work to have a balanced response that includes both proper review of academic material to establish a foundation along with your own discussion, examples, and integration of the material. APA formatted in text citations and end of post references are required in your initial responses to these question sets.
1. As reported in the text, in the aftermath of the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, there was a dramatic spike in helping behavior. The same thing happened in the wake of the Asian tsunami in 2004, and Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In each case, people donated huge sums of money and volunteered their time and effort to selflessly help others.
Discuss why disasters like these motivate people to engage in prosocial behavior. Apply other concepts mentioned in the textbook to the phenomenon of post-disaster helping behavior. Consider concepts such as the arousal: cost-reward model, altruism or egoism, and diffusion of responsibility. What increases the likelihood of people providing help when needed?
2. Review the following study about children, modeling, and aggression: . This web page includes an embedded video with narration by Dr. Albert Bandura who conducted this well-known study.
McLeod, Saul (2011). Bobo Doll Experiment. Retrieved from http://www.simplypsychology.org/bobo-doll.html
Think of examples of aggressive, even violent, modeling that you see on television and in movies today. Perhaps you have played violent interactive video games and or listened to violent music lyrics. How do you feel after consuming media violence? Many people say that it does not affect them at all and even look upon the violence as harmless, even funny. However, the general consensus is that, at a minimum, exposure to media violence on a day-to-day basis desensitizes the viewer to violence, even though it may not outright lead to violence (except for those who are already predisposed to violence or are already mentally unstable). If you are one of those who think violent media is either funny or innocuous, perhaps you are desensitized and have become a prime example of this point!
Do you think a population unmoved by violence is a healthy population? Why or why not? Name an example in our culture in which children are taught to respect aggression and praise it? How would you feel if your son followed that model? What if your daughter followed that model? How do you think violent media affects adult and/or children’s behavior? Include an example from your own experience that you feel reinforces Bobo doll study.

Review of Systems:
Physical assessment
Juan Hernandez Senior is medium-slim Latino male who seems to be cheerful and smart all the time.
Mental status exam
The counseling has to involve the whole family: Hernandez senior, Elena Hernandez, Hernandez Junior, and Alberto Hernandez. This is because there is need to address all the root causes of the current problem (Wheeler, 2014). Hernandez Senior seems to be a bit ready to learn how he can overcome the habit that he inherited from his parents of giving his children torturing punishment of holding heavy encyclopedia books. This is because he does not see why his children should suffer the same way he used to suffer while undergoing the same punishment. He is, therefore, ready to be helped how he and his wife can stop this habit and improve their relationship with their children.

MENTAL HEALTH CLIENT PROGRESS AND PRIVILEGE NOTE 5
sessions for parents to teach effective discipline skills, role-playing where both parents and the patient are involved in understanding feelings of each other and interpretations of barriers
regarding enjoyment. It was noted that the patient continues to make good progress upon understanding anger management. Developments are in progress in family and relational aspects. They are also expected to manage frustration as a family. Treatment will continue as indicated.
The psychotherapy notes capture the data of the patient, the type of assessment carried out and the plan laid for the therapy (DHHS, 2002). The note can have a different format, use SOAP which capture statement, objective data, assessment and plan. Psychotherapy notes exclude the time duration of the counseling, the modalities of treatment and results of tests. This information is excluded to guard patient safety and to protect sensitive information. My preceptor uses the psychotherapy notes are personal notes as they are intended for the therapy session. Additionally, they have little help to medics who are not involved in the therapy (Abeles, 2011).
