A process recording is a written tool used by field education experience students, field instructors, and faculty to examine the dynamics of social work interactions in time. Process recordings can help in developing and refining interviewing and intervention skills. The process recording is also a useful tool in exploring the interpersonal dynamics and values operating between you and the client system through an analysis of filtering the process used in recording a session. For this Assignment, you will submit a process recording of your field education experiences specific to this week. Note: You are submitting a written transcript, not an audio or video recording. The Assignment (24 pages): Provide a transcript of what happened during your field education experience, including a dialogue of interaction with a client.

Apply the nursing process and evidence-based practice to accurately assess family and community health systems across the lifespan.

2. Apply systematic research practices to identify family and community health system needs 4 Discuss the multi-dimensional role of the community health nurse in risk reduction and health promotion A Windshield Survey gives an objective overview of a community. Information obtained from this exercise can be used to identify a communitys strengths and weaknesses. These direct observations allow one to better understand the environment in which individuals live and interact. This information can help us better understand the health status of the individuals within the community and the community as a whole. You will drive around a predetermined community and gather information about various aspects of the community (see Windshield Survey Tool). You will need to determine the most appropriate time to gather information. For example, if you travel around the community on a weekday morning and this is a commuter community you may not see anyone outside. You may want to divide your time and make several short trips to obtain a better perspective. Try to document what you see as soon as possible after your trip. Avoid preconceived ideas about the community and record what you observe; strive to remain objective. Be sure to map out your planned route beforehand. You can use a mini recorder to take audio notes or even a camera for pictures. Be sure to select a community you are able to visit in a reasonable amount of time. After completing the windshield survey, you should obtain biostatistics and demographic statistics from the resources provided in the online classroom. You may elect to interview individuals within the community, as well. It should take no more than two hours to conduct the windshield survey, and another two hours to obtain demographic data on the area. Submit your data in the provided tool, or in a similar table format. You may include photos, interview notes, or other items. Alternatively, you may elect to compose a Powerpoint presentation of your data and photos for submission. The outline for the Windshield Survey is as follows: Name of community with a description of the communitys appearance, geographic location, demographic information, and biostatistical data 20% Indicators of social and economic conditions 15% Availability of health resources 20% Environmental conditions impacting community health 20% Evidence of social functioning 15% APA, spelling, and grammar, Paper organization/references 10% Please refer to your readings for further information regarding the windshield survey. When conducting your survey, there are several things to keep in mind: If possible, have someone else drive while you record the data. If you have to drive yourself, make sure you stop at regular intervals to record your data. Try to be inconspicuous. Pay attention to safety. When interviewing community members, contact a community center or agency ahead of time and schedule an appointment. Before arriving, decide on the questions that you would like to ask. If you have chosen a large city to focus on, you might want to consider narrowing your survey down to a single community in that city Your Windshield Survey will be graded on the following criteria: Criteria Level 4 (4 points) Level 3 (3 points) Level 2 (2 point) Level 1 (1 point) Community (20%) Description of the community is complete and includes general appearance, geographical, and demographic information.

Use quotation marks to signal the opening and closing of a passage, and include the authors last name and the relevant page number(s) after the quotation marks in bracketsthis is called a citation. If the quotation has any end punctuation (with the exception of a question mark or exclamation point), omit the punctuation and end the whole sentence with a period after the final bracket:ex) The game begins. Louis hands the baby in the airmail box to Orena and goes to the microphone to drum up business (King 46).Quoting Poetry:
When lines of poetry are quoted, all of the original spacing, capitalization, punctuation, et cetera are meant to be reproduced in the quotation. Place all quoted material in quotation marks, and be sure to insert a forward slash (/) any time a line break occurs in the original arrangement. After the quotation is complete, close with a citation which includes author last name and the proper line number(s) in brackets.

You also generate criteria to be measured in the program. To prepare for this Discussion, review the Social Work Research: Planning a Program Evaluation case study in this weeks resources, Plummer, S.-B., Makris, S., & Brocksen S. (Eds.). (2014b). Social work case studies: Concentration year.

Fortin & Lemieux (1997) Institutional changes & rising wage inequality: Is there a linkage?

you need not refer to outside sources. If you do, though, remember to cite them appropriately, and to include a complete reference in a bibliography at the end of your essay. You must never include material from any resource without proper attribution. Your essays should begin with a brief introductory paragraph that previews the argument you are going to be making. Then, you should briefly summarize the article you are discussing, in no more than a few paragraphs. Dont review everything in the article, just the important parts. The bulk of the essay should be devoted to your critique. Here, are you are going to take a stand on whether or not the paper was successful. You must offer your opinion and supporting evidence from the text. Here are a few questions to keep in mind when formulating your argument: – Is the paper internally coherent? In other words, does its logic flow within its own framework and set of assumptions? – Is the economic model the author uses appropriate? – Does the author offer compelling evidence in support of the papers argument? – Does the author interpret his or her results correctly? Are there other plausible interpretations that the author has overlooked? – Can you think of additional ways to approach the key question or problem in the paper? You should use these questions to guide your thinking; do not answer them directly in your essay. Each essay should be approximately 5 pages in length (double spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins) and will be graded on both the quality of the analysis and the writing. I will upload the reading and also send you the grading rubric later, so you can go by it.
