Nestled deep in the mountains of Western North Carolina, the Linville Gorge is a federally designated wilderness area that is part of Pisgah National Forest. This unique slice of southern Appalachia is managed by the Grandfather Ranger District and is located in the Blue Ridge Escarpment near the town of Marion, NC. To the east, Linville Gorge is bordered by Jonas Ridge, and the slopes of Linville Mountain form the western border. The two steep sides create a terrain that is extremely rugged and rocky, which would seemingly make it difficult for vegetation to establish communities on the canyon walls. However, this is not the case, as the gorge has very dense populations of hardwoods, conifers, and understory shrubs. The intimidating topography of the Linville Gorge Wilderness area enabled it to be

The reporting party is (RP) Ophelia Larose the grandmother of the foster child Aniyah Blake. The RP stated she and the biological mother had a visit with Aniyah on 6/19/15. The RP the foster father (Mark Cannon) did not bring food or diapers for the visit. When foster father was asked about the missing items the foster father replied "the FFA did not provide me with them when they dropped Aniyah off." The RP stated the child appeared very hungry and the bio mother provided the child with a bottle and diapers. The foster child had a diaper rash according to the RP. The RP got the impression the foster father did not want to participate in the

83 Archibald Street is at extreme risk in the event of the fire. The house has become hidden from street view due to a large, overgrown garden which poses significant risk. To worsen this risk, the building is largely constructed from wood along with a wooden side fence. Furthermore, chopped logs can be seen in the front yard which would make excellent fuel in the event of the fire.

If Logan Marr had come to me and told me that her foster mother was abusing her, I would have comforted her as best I could and reported the disclosure of abuse to Child Protective Services. If I was her case manager, I would also ensure that Logan was safe while an investigation took place by visiting regularly or removing her from the home if necessary. Additionally, regardless of whether or not I am in charge of her welfare, I would also do everything I could to help Logan feel safe and process her feelings about the investigation as well as the alleged abuse.

On this date and time this worker travelled to 3850 Cherokee Trail to speak with Mr. Sayers. This worker explained the report received by the Department again to Mr. Sayers. He stated that all of it was a lie and was unsure why Kathryn would say that he did that to her. He stated that when he disciplines Kathryn it is either with a spanking on the bottom or he makes her go to her room. Mr. Sayers reported that he never falls asleep on Kathryn while she is outside. He stated when she goes outside she is on the trampoline and he is outside with her during this time. Mr. Sayers reported that Kathryn comes over every two weekends which means he only see here four days out of the month. Mr. Sayers stated that he doesn’t have a good relationship

I agree with what you have stated in you post. The social work put his client first by respecting his client as an individual, and showing no type of judgment when listening to what his client was saying. He had consideration of respect, and his client’s needs. He was actively engaging with his client, by being alert, and focusing his attention to his client. We both do have different perspectives when observing the video, but the social worker did have some knowledge of his client’s native home. That is a positive aspect for the social worker, because he may have done some research, or is familiar with his client’s home. The way the social worker and the client engaged with each other showed good communication styles, because the client became

A traumatic event that happened was when there was a fire. I remember that the fire was just a mile from our house and that we would have to evacuate. My family I loaded the car as fast as we could. We packed as much as we could and everyone else in the neighborhood were also packing and moving out. We moved out, but got stuck in traffic. The fire was literally behind us, burning acres of grass and forests. My sister had asthma, and so she had to fight it off by constantly coughing and such for she didn’t have her inhaler. She coughed all the way until we had gotten to safety and she had gotten an inhaler. I remembered leaving my pet dog, Penn at home, and so I rushed back by myself to let him out. Fire was right near the house, and I tried

Following the policy and procedure within the care home, every member, of staff has a professional and moral duty to report any witnessed, suspected or disclosure of abuse.

If this was a social work colleague, my ethical responsibility would to be consider both parties and approach the colleague to gather information and get a better understanding of the situation. Also, it would be a good idea to check the agencies work policies just to make sure this is a violation. If it is it might be a good idea to let the supervisor of the agency know what has been happening so the supervisor is not completely

If this is a criminal matter i.e. an alleged assault, rape or indecent exposure, call the police, if a senior was not on duty/available to do so.

This case involves issues of Privacy and Confidentiality. NASW Code of Ethics, (n.d.), section 1.07 Privacy and Confidentiality addresses privacy, confidentiality, and disclosure. Paragraph (j) states, “Social workers should protect the confidentiality of clients during legal proceedings to the extent permitted by law. When a court of law or other legally authorized body orders social workers to disclose confidential or privileged information without a client's consent and such disclosure could cause harm to the client; social workers should request that the court withdraw the order or limit the order as narrowly as possible or maintain the records under seal unavailable for public inspection”

Nurses rely on personal knowledge and their professional skills to provide ethical care (Creasia & Friberg, 2011). In everyday practice, nurses must balance the needs of their patients against those of the organization, society and themselves. They strive to deliver the highest level of care for patients, but adjusting for limited organizational and personal resources often requires difficult decisions. This paper explores the following scenario suggested by Maville and Huerta: “You are a nurse providing home care to a mother, and you suspect child abuse after observing the mother’s reaction to her child” (as cited by Arizona State University, 2014). When faced with a moral dilemma, a competent nurse incorporates ethical, bioethical and legal considerations. In the proposed story, incorporating the nursing ethics of advocacy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and collaboration will guide the nurse towards an appropriate and legal course of action.

This particular social worker is in the Adult Service Unit. That fact alone was new to me. I did not realize there was a division that only dealt with adults in need of protection. I had heard of DHR getting involved in domestic cases involving children, but I was unaware that there was help available for adults in need too. Obviously, there are circumstances involving adults that necessitate outside intervention. Therefore, I

According to Reamer (2005) every social worker is capable of inadvertently inserting incorrect facts into and omitting important facts from case documentation. To deal with such inconsistences, social workers should always acknowledge their errors and make clear that the new entry occurred after the error was discovered (Reamer, 2005). Most importantly, take steps to be honest and sincere with injured parties, during which social workers accept responsibility for any mistakes they may have made (Reamer, 2008). Moreover, social workers have a duty to respond to errors in a way that protects and minimizes harm to the clients (Reamer, 2008). Thus, it is even more important to remain aware of the potentially harmful consequences not only of our actions, but also of our failures to act (Pope, 2005). Reamer (2008) also believes that social workers must recognize that they have self-interested reasons to respond to error constructively.
