Assessment and Diagnosis

A community is a place where people around supposed to be able to live and thrive together. When one thinks of a community, the image that most likely is visualized is one of a place where each person lives harmoniously with all the other members of that community. While this may be the typical image of a community, it is not the realistic view. In reality communities can share both good and bad aspects. In Place Matters: Metropolitics for the Twenty-First Century Peter Dreier, John Mollenkopf, and Todd Swanstrom make the argument that the place a person lives ultimately matters over all else; the place which a person lives effects the choices that that he/she makes and determines his/her ability to obtain a

The purpose of this paper is to identify common issues of concern in my community, Huntington Park. In order to identify those issues, I will interview four individuals that live in Huntington Park. The goal of this paper it to identify the problems within the community that are affecting people every day and identify when and how it started, why is it happening, who is getting affected, and what has been done. Each person will be interviewed separately to identify if there are common and current issues, challenges, concerns, or problems that have or have not been resolved in the community. Each person will be notified that their interview will consist of the interviewer taking notes and will be used for school purposes. Upon approval, this

The first most likely diagnosis would be acute gastroenteritis. According to Aftab and Churgay (2012), the patient has acute gastroenteritis is “often defined as the onset of diarrhea in the absence of chronic disease, with or without abdominal pain, fever, nausea, or vomiting”. This 18-month year old patient has had 6 episodes of diarrhea and 4 episodes of vomiting per day that occurred for two days. The patient also has no history of having a chronic disease.

Similarly to Green (2015), we were able to use maps to assist us in determining the assets of East Harlem. We focused on a five-block radius from 120th St. to 125th St. It is important to understand the geographic opportunities that lie within the neighborhood as a way to define patterns of spatial inequality. In other words, the location where people live can impact their access to opportunities (Green 2015). We were able to assess the strengths of the community by using Google Earth. While using Google Earth we were able to get a bird’s eye view of some useful agencies in the community. The map showed the local FDR Bridge that connects community members to Randal’s Island. Randal’s Island hosts the Fire Department Academy, sports fields, and a job recruitment center amongst other resources. The map also shows the local trains connecting East Harlem to outside neighborhoods which will benefit residents who work or travel to other areas of New York

According to Maurer and Smith (2009), a community's defining features include its attributes, people, places, interactions, and common characteristics, interests, and goals. Every community assessment involves a process of collecting and analyzing data and then interpreting the data to form valid conclusions. This analysis can include demographic and epidemiological data as well as other types of data. This paper contains a community assessment of Jamaica Queens, one of forty-two different neighborhoods in New York City. Jamaica Queens is a diverse community within the county of Queens, and was the neighborhood of the authors employment and near the author's residence/

As a child, I was fixated on the idea of growing up and how I would contribute to the world in my own peculiar way, but I never contemplated how my Rockford, Michigan Community would impact my personal view of life. The experiences I have had as a result of being part of this Community have not only impacted my personal view of life, but they have also made me come to the conclusion that a Community should exemplify values of leadership and commitment.

When I first moved to New York as a newly-arrived immigrant nine years ago, I was amazed, among other things, at the diversity and opportunities that I observed around me. It was equally shocking, as I underwent the process of becoming a New Yorker, to see the uneven geographical spread of these great opportunities throughout the city. Specifically, I am speaking of the disadvantages of children in low income neighborhoods with higher crime rates than surrounding areas.

The community we decided to look at is in the north Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. The area we decided to focus on the surrounding blocks around the St. John’s Recreation center. The blocks we examine are from Utica Avenue & Albany Avenue and Park Place & Bergen Street. Our team decided to use this community due to most of the group members live and/or are familiar with this community. Being familiar with how the community used to have high crime rates, drug infested that housed many low income Black, West Indian, Jewish families to now having a decreased minority population and more upper class families are moving in. As a result more residents are being priced out of their community at an alarming rate (Chan, 2007). Crown Heights remains

I interviewed Peter Arsenault, a School Psychologist for a local high school in South Jersey. Our interviewed focused on diagnostic assessments and his role in the process of evaluating individuals with exceptionalities. Arsenault stated the leading method for identifying whether a child is SLD is discrepancy analysis. This involves looking at the overall scores such as FSIQ, reading, math or writing. His preference is the neuropsychological. He explains this based on his doctorate studies. He further contends that neuropsychology looks at both cognitive, and learning as well as attention and executive functioning.

Pertussis, also known as the “whooping cough”, is a highly contagious respiratory illness that is passed from person to person through coughing and sneezing (Gregory, 2013). Early symptoms are similar to those from common colds, but when Pertussis progresses, it can turn to deep cough and potentially vomiting with little or no fever. It is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. The disease can be very serious in children less than 1 year of age where it can cause lung infections and, less often, seizures or inflammation of the brain. In rare cases, pertussis can result in death, especially in infants (VDH, 2012). The purpose of this investigation is to help people

The purpose of this paper is to provide a synopsis of the importance of assessment and diagnosis in the counseling process. In the first two sections, the roles of assessment and diagnosis as they relate to case conceptualization and treatment planning will be explored. The potential implications of misdiagnosis will be the focus of the final section.

diagnosis and prognosis, repeated investigation in a CTC preparation is nearly impossible due to the rarity of this cell type in the blood (20,21). Expanding CTCs ex vivo is thus necessary for reproducible examination of their genomic makeups and behaviors in vitro in culture or in vivo as patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) (22).
