Hazardous Materials and Public Awareness​ class

Weapons made from radiological agents are uncommon because they are difficult to obtain and they are just as dangerous to the intender user as to the intended victims. However, radiological materials are used routinely throughout New York, so it is impossible to rule them out as a potential source for weapons.

Consider the following questions and answer them after conducting independent research:

• Where would one expect to find radiological agents in the NYC area?
• Exactly what is radiation? Define the 2 types of radiation and explain how they cause harm to humans?
• Define and describe the physical properties of the three major categories of radioactive particles/rays?
• Besides radioactivity, some elements present additional hazards as well. Select three elements that are radioactive and contain other health hazards. Name them and talk about the other ways they are harmful.
• Discuss the types of harm caused by radiation exposure, namely:
acute Illness, injury, long term effects and long term genetic effects.

What actions can a civilian or a first responder take to minimize harm to themselves in the event of a radiological event, whether it be an industrial accident that disperses radioactive particles, or terrorism in the form of a “dirty bomb?”

What does this action say about the power of the branch?-How does it affect the power of the branch, as given by the Constitution?

A piece of legislation, an executive order, or a Texas Supreme Court case,

Each student will submit a research paper on either a piece of legislation, an executive order, or a Texas Supreme Court case, enacted or decided since 2000, by the Texas state government. The tool of policy that you choose must be active, meaning that it is a law that has been passed and is currently enforced, it is an executive order that has not been rescinded, or it is a Supreme Court case that has been decided and not overturned.

Students will use this paper to analyze the example of governmental power/action of their choice by explaining the action to the best of their understanding and then putting the issue in context of the broader scope of government. Ask a few questions:

What does this action say about the power of the branch?
How does it affect the power of the branch, as given by the Constitution?
How does this action affect the relationship between the acting branch and the other branches?
How did this affect citizens and residents of the United States?
Use these questions as a basis for your paper but expand on these ideas from there. The analysis is based on data and facts, not suppositions. Challenge yourself to present statistics or scholarly evidence to back up your analysis. You must draw a conclusion and justify your position.

What is the policy problem you want to address? What are some important facts you have about the problem.

Evolution of Healthcare Policy

Draft a Key Findings Brief on the Evolution of Healthcare Policy in the format used by the Scholars Strategy Network, using this outline:

1. Problem Identification. What is the policy problem you want to address?

2. Key Findings. What are some important facts you have about the problem. This should include statistics and reports, matters that at least purport to be factual.

3. Solutions. Here you discuss your policy solutions. You want to propose answer that will address the problem. Remember, you may not be able to completely eradicate a problem (i.e. can we ever totally eradicate poverty in this country?). This is where you take your facts and use them to construct responses to problems.

The entire piece should be 600-900 words.

Identify the various types of veterinary software programs that are available. Explain the use and benefits of veterinary software programs in practice.

/in /by

There are two papers in this research project. Both research papers are required.

Paper 1: Veterinary Computer Software
Goals
Identify the various types of veterinary software programs that are available.
Explain the use and benefits of veterinary software programs in practice.
Report the pros and cons of different programs.
Categorize and examine the features of various programs.
Evaluate your research to determine which programs may provide the best service in a veterinary practice.
Instructions
Many veterinary clinics and hospitals rely heavily on computers for day-to-day operations. Computer software companies are constantly developing and upgrading programs for use in veterinary medicine.

Imagine you’re the head veterinary technician working in a multidoctor veterinary practice. The practice owner is considering upgrading his or her outdated invoicing software and paper medical records, wanting to replace them with veterinary management software that can perform a wide variety of management functions.

The practice owner wants each member of the veterinary team to gather information on two different brands of veterinary management software. Each team member will compile his or her information into a written report, which will be given to the practice owner and practice manager to help them make their decision.

As the head technician, you’re given the first choice on which software brands to research. Select two different brands of veterinary management software. Research each software brand, paying attention to the items in the following list, then write a research paper that compares and contrasts the two software brands, including (but not limiting your writing to) the following information:

Names of the two brands of software that you’ve chosen, and a brief description of each of them
Information about the companies who make the software
What are some benefits for a practice using a software program?
List office features and functions, as well as pros and cons of each software package—what does each program do, or not do?
How are technical support issues handled?
How is loss of data prevented in each type of program?
Is this a cloud- or server-based program? What hardware or software might be required?
Is training provided? In what ways?
Are laboratory and imaging results imported? Provide details on those that are compatible with the software program being discussed.
Paper 2: Interpersonal Communication
As a veterinary technician, you’ll be inundated with questions every day. These questions come from clients and coworkers. In order to handle these questions, it’s important that you be both a good listener and a good communicator.

Goals
List and define the four elements of communication.
Identify the methods for effectively communicating with others.
Apply knowledge of proper communication methods to client and colleague interactions in a veterinary practice.
Determine the importance of using and observing verbal and nonverbal communication.
Prepare oneself to work with clients and coworkers as part of the patient care team.
Establish adequate communication skills for use in a veterinary setting.
Instructions
Describe techniques for being a good listener. What can you do to clarify what a client or coworker is saying to you? Also, describe some ways you can communicate clearly so a client or coworker will not only listen to you but fully understand what you’re saying.

Be sure to include the following:

Body language
Nonverbal communication/gestures (including possible cultural differences that might arise)
Paraphrasing
Eye contact
Discrimination and prejudices
Patient records/handouts and brochures
Any other pertinent information you deem important
Next, provide at least two specific scenarios that relate to dealing with others in a hospital setting, and how and why you might use the previously mentioned techniques in these scenarios. Be sure to include multiple examples from the list above. Describe how those techniques would be used in your scenarios. These examples may include conflict with a coworker, conflict with an employee, dealing with a difficult client, or having an emotional conversation with a client.

Project Specifications
Your project must be submitted as a Word document (.docx, .doc)*.
Each title page should contain the following information:
The title: Veterinary Office Management Research Project
Your name
Your student number
The date your project was submitted
Each paper should be easy to read with appropriate font, double spacing, and correct spelling, grammar, sentence, and paragraph structure. You should use proper APA format for your reference page and in-text citations.
The recommended length is 2–4 pages per paper, excluding title and reference pages.
Each research paper should include at least three references. The information must be supported by trusted veterinary medical publications and websites. You can use your Penn Foster Veterinary Office Management lessons for assistance, but they shouldn’t be your main source of data. Don’t use sites such as Wikipedia.
If you don’t have prior experience writing research papers, the Penn Foster Library offers assistance in writing a research paper and citing references.
Plagiarism is taking any part of a published piece of work and using it as your own. This also applies to those sections where you might change the wording slightly, or periodically interject personal comments. This also applies to sections in which whole paragraphs or pages were quoted from a source. Plagiarism is unacceptable at Penn Foster College. This is a reminder of the expectation to which all Penn Foster College students are held. Per your Student Handbook, students are expected to conduct themselves with the highest academic and ethical standards. Failure to do so results in disciplinary action. Be sure you’re properly citing your resources in APA format. More information about plagiarism, and properly citing in APA format, can be found in the Penn Foster Library, your Information Literacy course, and your English Composition course.
