Purpose:Analyze and apply critical thinking skills in the psychopathology of mental health patients and provide treatment and health promotion while applying evidence-based research.Scenario:
Kel is a 42-year-old certified public accountant (CPA) who dreams each year that she will board a cruise ship the day after Tax Day and go somewhere, anywhere, except Portsmouth, Virginia. Each year the dream, like the ocean, ebbs and flows, but this year she is not even going to think about such a “ridiculous idea.” In fact, she does not even have the energy to dream; getting out of bed and preparing to go to work is simply too labor intensive. 
Each evening Kel retires to bed with a lack of energy to complete her normal tasks such as readying her clothes for work and making a lunch. She lacks the energy to shop in the evening; consequently, she eats mostly crackers and canned soup. She is not hungry, and her scale reflects this. She has lost 15 pounds over the last 2 months. She does not attend to her makeup or clothes; she finds both too taxing. The clothes she selects are drab and not ironed. At work she makes no effort to talk with her co-workers and does not initiate new contacts with clients. The normal work of filing taxes and writing reports, which she used to enjoy, are overwhelming, and she feels too disorganized to complete them. Telephone calls and e-mail messages from friends are ignored. Attendance at work is spotty.
Sue, her sister, becomes alarmed with Kel’s unanswered telephone calls and e-mails. Worried, she decides to visit her sister at home. She finds the apartment unclean and in disarray. Kel is unkempt, disheveled, and looks sad. Her voice is monotone and flat. Kel tells Sue that she feels “sad and hopeless. Nothing is ever going to change. I am a bad person and I can’t even do my work right. Although I sleep for many hours, I am still tired all the time.” Sue is alarmed at the changes in her sister and arranges for Kel to visit a health care worker at the medical clinic.

Networking Opportunities
In this module, you begin laying the foundation for your academic and professional success. Your efforts begin with a vision that includes your own definition of success. Your vision may vary from those of your colleagues, but this does not mean you have to take these first steps alone.
Walden University and the College of Nursing also have a vision and mission, which include helping you to make your own vision a reality. Members of your new academic community, such as faculty, support teams, and fellow students, can also be helpful. Current practitioners and other member of the professional community can also help you to clarify your vision.
This Module’s Discussion asks you to consider how the Walden mission and vision as well as the College of Nursing’s mission and vision apply to your professional and academic goals. You will also begin to identify individuals and teams who can help you along the way as you begin designing the “blueprint”—your Academic Success and Professional Development Plan—that will guide you toward your own vision for academic and professional success.
To Prepare:

Review the Walden and College of Nursing mission and vision statements, Walden’s goals and University Outcomes, and the MSN Program Learning Outcomes presented in this Module’s Learning Resources.
Reflect on your professional and academic goals as they relate to your program/specialization.
Consider how the information in these resources fit with your own goals and to your becoming a scholar-practitioner.
Also consider academic and professional individuals and teams with whom you may collaborate in support of your efforts as a student at the university and as a professional within your organization and career.

By Day 3 of Week 1
Post a brief introduction of yourself to your colleagues. Include an explanation as to how Walden’s vision, mission, goals, and social change initiatives relate to your professional and academic goals and to your becoming a scholar-practitioner. Also include an explanation for how the Walden MSN Program Outcomes and perspectives relate to your professional and academic goals and to your becoming a scholar-practitioner.
By Day 6 of Week 1
Respond to at least two of your colleagues’ posts by suggesting additional individuals and/or teams with whom you wish to collaborate or by offering additional networking strategies.

Write an academic paper which analyzes the following topic. To support your thesis, you must use evidence from secondary and primary sources to develop a substantial and historically grounded argument.Discuss the following:Select one primary source from Western Europe in the Middle Ages (500-1350) that has not been assigned from class from the Fordham Sourcebook found here. Use this document to explore an episode in Medieval history in more depth. Offer a clear reading of the one source and explore how the document illustrates and illuminates the historical episode. What is the significance of the document in the larger historical context? Note: document are organized by category, so select a category from the list on the left to access documents. You have a great deal of freedom here to choose a document that interests you.Make sure that your argument is historically substantiated and well-constructed around a central thesis statement that explores a significant aspect of the history of the Middle Ages that we touched on in class. Use both primary and secondary sources in your analysis. Do more than summarize your primary source. This question is designed to have you look closely at the at the complexities of the Middle Ages. Please remember not to use first person in a historical argument. Your paper should have a clear introductory paragraph with a well-developed thesis, body paragraphs of supporting historical evidence to support that thesis, and conclusions which bring in critical analysis. Sources:To do well on this assignment your focus must be on your selected primary source, background information in textbook, and outside academic source may be necessary. Wikipedia is not an academic source. You can use MLA, APA, or Turabian (which is the version of Chicago style that historians use). You can use the OWL at Purdue University website to access manuals for MLA or APA. The Modern Language Association also has a style guide here.Format:This assignment should be between two to three pages in length. The font must be 12-point and the margins should be standard. Please double-space the paper so that it is easier to make comments on. I will be looking at your historical evidence and your organization. Your paper should be carefully written. Pay close attention to form, grammar, spelling and punctuation because they effect the clarity of your paper and your grade.

Wk 4 – Adapted Lesson Plan [due Mon]
Assignment Content

Special education teachers require an in-depth understanding of how to adapt curriculum, assessment, and learning experiences for exceptional learners. Matching adaptations, accommodations, or modifications to a student’s needs is very important to ensure learning and growth. For this assignment, you will practice the skill of adapting a lesson to meet the needs of exceptional learners.
Select the following to get started:

Education level (elementary, middle, or high school)
Subject area
Lesson plan
Use one of your own lesson plans or locate a lesson plan on the internet. Although you may use any site that has complete lesson plans, some suggested sites are:
Scholastic
Education World
Modify the lesson plan to incorporate the needs of 2 K–12 students with the following exceptionalities:
Seizure disorder
Hearing impairment
Address the following elements in your adaptations to meet the needs of these learners:
