Background
Natalie is a 21 year old woman who was admitted to an acute psychiatric unit following a suicide attempt. She had taken an overdose of quetiapine (~800 mg). A flat mate found her difficult to rouse in the bath in the early evening (~ 2 hours latter) and called an ambulance. Natalie had previously presented with generalised anxiety disorder and hypomanic symptoms at the student health clinic and she had been prescribed quetiapine (200 mg daily) after consultation with a visiting psychiatrist.
Context
Natalie was admitted to the emergency department. She initially presented with drowsiness, tachycardia (160 / min), hypotension (90/60) and akathisia. After gastric lavage and 2mg lorazepam IV she was monitored for 8 hours before transfer to the psychiatric ward at 2200 hrs.
You are the nurse assigned to care for her on the morning shift and to complete an initial assessment.
Handover
Natalie is a 21 year old student who attempted overdose yesterday afternoon on Seroquel. She was transferred to us at 2200. She was quite drowsy at the time and not very coherent but did indicate that she had intended to die and did not anticipate her flatmates discovering her so soon. She has been experiencing considerable stressors recently: She has been struggling with her studies… She is in her second semester at University studying statistics and believes she is failing… She recently split up with a boyfriend of several years who lives in her home town (about three hours drive away) because of the difficulty maintaining a relationship over such a distance, and she appears to have depleted most of her savings by gambling on an on-line casino several months ago.
Natalie was fairly sleepy so we didn’t glean much more history from her. Her obs are all fine, we’ve been checking hourly. She has a ferociously dry mouth and she’s drunk approximately 2 litres of water over night. She’ll need to see the psychiatrist this morning and have repeat bloods.

Section 1 Question 1

What kinds of questions might you ask to establish Natalie’s further risk of suicide?

Section 1 Question 2

What further questions might you need to develop a working formulation?
Question 1 and 2 both must have a separate narrative conclusion, that reflects on marking rubric in alinement with clinical reasoning cycle.

Changes in the Human Figure in Art
Paper details

You likely noticed that during the two hundred years covered in this week’s study there were radical changes in how the human figure is depicted in Italy, from something that was highly stylized to an idealized form that looked more real yet was strongly influenced by the Classical Age of ancient Greece and Rome. In the Northern Europe, however, depiction of the human form remained rooted in the Middle Ages and remained somewhat stylized.

Use the textbook and/or online sources to locate and capture three works of art.

one from the Early Renaissance (fourteenth century, 1300–1399)
one from the Northern European Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)
one from the Italian Renaissance (fifteenth century, 1400–1499)
Your works of art must either be all paintings or all sculptures.

Introduction
•This section should include a brief description of the overall purpose of the paper and provide an overview of the health issue.
Health Issue (Review and synthesize of pertinent literature)

•Discuss the specific health problem/issue.

•Discuss major behavioral factors that influence the disease process and/or health outcome.

•Do not select a health issue that has a strong genetic determinant as you will have little opportunity to discuss behavioral factors
Targeted Population

•Discuss the specific population on which you are focusing

•Provide a demographic description of the population.

•Discuss any relevant social and cultural behaviors of the population.
Integration of the Health Issue and Target Population

•Explain how cultural and social behaviors serve as risk and/or protective factors for the specific population contributing to the control and/or occurrence of the health condition.
•Identify positive and negative factors related to social and cultural behaviors.
Discussion of conclusions and recommendations
•Summarize the literature and your conclusions about the relationship between the population and the specific health pattern.
•Make recommendations regarding what could be done to prevent and reduce the health problem in this population and how lessons learned in this population could be applied to other populations or the nation.

Prepare an outline structured on the ERP implementation project you plan to execute. Ensure the application of the concepts and techniques learnt in this module, such as: ERP, MIS, enterprise system architectures, risk management.

PROJECT OUTLINE
Start from the proposal you are assigned to, which is to define a strategy document for a gold mining company to instill better performance through a holistic integration (of its various functions) from the previous integrated functions into a fully integrated system that lands into a cloud management system.

Your paper has to be structured around the following points:

1. Introduction

2. Problem statements

3. Project objectives

4. ‘As-is’ analysis of the business process

5. A map of the business process and interactions (Major activities)

6. Key areas for improvement (High-level categories)

7. Strategy of ERP adoption

8. Request for proposals (RFP)

9. Selection of ERP options

10. Plan of ERP project implementation

11. Conclusion

Your role is not to write an extensive paper but briefly explain what falls under each item of the above.

The Outline must also show clear boundaries between the following sections:

-The supply chain of the business and its main operations management process

-Major activities in the business process map

-High-level categories for improvements in the as-is map

-The components of the RFP

Compulsory references to include:
Remember that your aim is:
• Achieving a wider integration of several business functions into operational groups/centres. Assume that an operational centre is an aggregation of 2 or 3 departments into a functional decision making process without creating an additional reporting layer

• Further integration from business centres into more aggregation to the point where a fully integrated platform is created, ‘the unified ERP’

• Creating a corporate cloud environment from the unified ERP

Also remember Your deliverables:

• A standardized systems across all operations

• Cost reduction and efficiency

• Improved communication and closer communication

• Reliable and fast access to data and information

• Improved decision making process

• Optimized business processes

• Sustainable and profitable growth

• Foundation for operational excellence
