  • Jails, Management, and Issues

    In this hypothetical setting, you are an administrator for a county jail. This week, you are meeting with other county administrators to prepare for a conference with county sheriffs, state representatives and other government officials to discuss issues in jail administration. You have been asked to address pretrial detention issues, treatment needs, and administrative issues in county jails. You must first address pretrial detention, and perspectives on detainees rights. In your preparation, you start with a review of terms and issues.

    You have been asked to address pretrial detention issues, treatment needs, and administrative issues in county jails. You must first address pretrial detention and perspectives on detainees rights. In your preparation, you start with a review of terms and issues.

    Pretrial Detention Stojkovic and Lovell (2025, Section 3.4, para. 1) define pretrial detention as a mechanism whereby the court ensures a defendant remains in its custody until trial. Pretrial Detainees Rights and Jail Security Stojkovic and Lovell (2025, Section 3.4, para. 2) explain that the U.S. Supreme Court, in Florence v. Board of chosen Freeholders of County of Burlington et al. (2012), allowed for strip searches of pretrial detainees. As you review Stojkovic and Lovells (2025) discussion in Chapter 3, of issues related to addressing the rights of pretrial detainees who have not been convicted and jails interests in security, reflect on how you would address these issues.

    Next, you have been asked to address objectives and issues for jails

    Jail Purposes Stojkovic and Lovell (2025) explain that jails may hold individual in pretrial detention and those who have been sentenced. Pretrial Detainees vs. Sentenced Individuals Stojkovic and Lovell (2025) discuss that individuals in pretrial detention have not been sentenced. Stojkovic and Lovell (2025) explain that in contrast, jails also hold those who have been issued a sentence for a period in jail. As you review Stojkovic and Lovells (2025) discussion of how jails may hold those in pretrial detention, and those with a sentence, reflect on the differences in these situations. Issues for Jails Stojkovic and Lovell (2025) argue for the need to align the mission of jails more with the needs of those held in jails. As you review Stojkovic and Lovells (2025) discussion, reflect on one way that jails could align more with the needs of those held in jails. After reviewing Stojkovic and Lovells(2025) discussion of individuals in pretrial detention and individuals sentenced in jails, reflect on whether jails should be used to hold pretrial detainees and consider arguments for and against this.

    PROMPT :

    Scenario

    Mr. Johnson is a 70-year-old male complaining of shortness of breath for the past three weeks. Mr. Johnson is complaining that he has chest pain, and this pain increases when he coughs. He also reports thick green/yellow sputum for the past week. His current weight was stable at 100 kg from his previous visit six months ago. He admits to occasionally smoking cigarettes.

    Mr. Johnsons assessment is as follows:

    • Inspection upper respiratory system: Nasal and mouth mucosa is pink; no bleeding, masses, or deformities are noted in the upper respiratory system.
    • Inspection lower respiratory system: The client has a respiratory rate of 20 with even and unlabored respirations.
    • During the history, the client is speaking freely and does not report any shortness of breath while talking.
    • The client has skin appropriate for his ethnic background, with no skin integrity issues noted during the inspection.
    • Palpation: No masses, deformities, or crepitus are noted. Trachea is midline and nontender.
    • The client has equal lung expansion anterior and posterior; the client reports pain that increases with inspiration.
    • Percussion: Dullness over right lower lobe, otherwise hyper resonance.
    • Auscultation: Fine crackles in the right lower lobe with inspiration and expiratory wheezes and diminished breath sounds noted throughout.
    • Vital signs: Temperature: 100F (38C); Respiratory rate: 22; Pulse oximetry on room air: 91% to 93%; Heart rate: 90 bpm; and Blood pressure: 130/80 mm Hg

    As the nurse, you have determined the priority problem is impaired gas exchange related to the mucus collection in the airways, as evidenced by fine crackles in the right lower lobe.

    Instructions

    Using the assessment and nursing diagnosis provided in the scenario, write 200250 words identifying goals for Mr. Johnson in your initial post. Then, respond to at least two of your peers posts.

    Discussion Prompts

    • Identify two measurable short-term goals for Mr. Johnson. Explain why you chose these goals.
    • Consider what possible outcomes would change the priority problem.
    • Define one of these possible outcomes and explain how (and why) it would change the priority problem. Then, identify at least one new measurable goal related to the newly identified problem.

    My response:

    Two measurable short-term goals for Mr. Johnson are:

    1. Achieve oxygen saturation 95% on room air within 24 hours, measured by pulse oximetry. Mr. Johnsons current oxygen saturation level is between 91-93%, impairing gas exchange. He is not suffering from hypoxia since SpO2 is not below 90%, but it is clearly below the ideal 95% (Pesola & Sankari, 2023). Interventions like elevating his head, using incentive spirometry and nebulization can help Mr. Johnson achieve the desired goal (Ernstmeyer & Christman, 2021), confirming improved alveolar-capillary gas transfer. This goal can be measured using objective data provided by pulse oximetry.
    2. Decrease fine crackles and wheezes in the right lobe within 48 hours, measured through auscultation. Crackles and wheezes indicate that mucus is obstructing Mr. Johnsons alveoli (Cleveland Clinic, 2023). Clearing secretions will reduce inflammation and help prevent progression to respiratory failure. This goal can be measured through auscultation.

    Possible outcomes that would change the priority problem include:

    Assuming the interventions resolve impaired gas exchange (SpO2 95%, and cleared breath sounds), then the priority should shift to addressing acute chest pain or respiratory infection. Mr. Johnson complained about chest pain and acute pain when coughing. He also reported green/yellow sputum, which may be caused by pneumonia, bronchitis or sinus infection (Altiner et al., 2009). This still needs to be confirmed (no mention to green/yellow sputum during the interaction with the nurse).

    Acute pain:

    Mr. Johnson is suffering from acute chest pain when coughing due to pleural inflammation. Dealing with pain is a top priority for nurses since pain is a symptom of inflammation processes and it hinders Mr. Johnsons quality of life. The new goal is to reduce pain as measured by a self-assessment through medication and supplemental oxygen. Mr. Johnson will be told to verbalize pain level on a 0-10 scale every 12 hours after pain management interventions start. The goal is to reduce pain level.

    Peer#1:Hello Everyone,

    Mr. Johnsons priority nursing problem is impaired gas exchange related to mucus collection in the airways. Based on his assessment findings, two measurable short-term goals are appropriate.

    The first short-term goal is for Mr. Johnson to maintain oxygen saturation of at least 94% on room air within 24 to 48 hours. This goal was chosen because his current oxygen levels are slightly low, ranging from 9193%, which suggests that his lungs are not exchanging oxygen as well as they should. Improving his oxygen saturation would show that his breathing is improving and that nursing interventions such as coughing, deep breathing, and clearing mucus from the airways are helping him breathe more comfortably and effectively.

    The second short-term goal is for Mr. Johnson to show improved airway clearance within 48 hours by coughing up thinner sputum and having fewer crackles heard in the right lower lobe. This goal was chosen because the buildup of thick mucus is making it harder for him to breathe. When secretions are cleared, the airways can open more fully, allowing oxygen to move in and out of the lungs more easily and helping improve his overall breathing.

    A possible outcome that could change the priority problem is worsening respiratory infection, such as pneumonia, due to retained secretions. If his infection worsens, the priority problem may shift from impaired gas exchange to ineffective airway clearance or impaired breathing pattern.

    If this occurs, one new measurable goal would be that Mr. Johnson will maintain a respiratory rate between 1220 breaths per minute with reduced work of breathing within 24 hours. This goal is important because controlling breathing effort can help prevent fatigue and further respiratory decline, supporting overall respiratory stability.

    Peer#2:One short term measurable goal for Mr. Johnson to maintain an oxygen saturation of 94% or higher within the next 24 hours is either on room air or with prescribed supplement oxygen. This is important because oxygen saturation is a clear indicator of how well gas exchange is occurring in the lungs, and improving it shows that oxygen is reaching the bloodstream more effectively. Another short term measurable goal is for Mr. Johnson to get better airway clearance within 48 hours, improve breath sounds and the ability to cough up sputum more effectively which is important because it addresses the cause of his impaired gas exchange which is mucus collection in the airway. The possible outcomes that would change if Mr. Johnson’s airway clearance and oxygenation get better would be better ventilation, also known as reduced sputum production as well as it will cause clearer lung sounds and decreased shortness of breath. Why it is important for the airways to be cleared is because the lungs can expand more fully which will allow better oxygen exchange and reduce respiratory distress and with this the focus can be more focused on preventing respiratory issues.

  • Gilgamesh

    Planning Your Work

    Epics are known for richness and detail of the worlds they depict, and Gilgamesh is no exception. Imagine you are tasked with providing a service or creating a business or organization in the world of Gilgamesh using skills and knowledge from your field of study, current or previous job, extracurriculars, or volunteer work. What need would you address or what problem would you solve within the epic’s world and in Uruk, in particular? How would you go about doing so? Choose one of the following that you can connect to the epic of Gilgamesh in some way:

    • Your actual major or a field of study you’re considering
    • A job you currently have or previously had
    • An extracurricular activity you take part in (volunteer work, a sport, a hobby, a social or religious group, etc.)

    Part One

    Write a letter to King Gilgamesh proposing the business, service unit, or organization you would like to create. This should be based on and relate to your actual life, skills, and/or interests that you chose from in the planning stage above. Provide and cite evidence from the text showing that your venture is needed; specify the resources you will contribute and those the city must supply; and showcase your credentials to lead this project. Keep your audience in mind to get your project approved!

    Part Two

    Write a brief paragraph of 3-4 sentences reflecting upon your likelihood of success in convincing King Gilgamesh to support your endeavor.

    Part Three

    Support your claims with quotations from the course materials. Use in-text citations in MLA format for the quotations, and be sure to include page numbers from the text included in this course. Remember to include a Works Cited page.

  • The Shahnameh, Sundiata, and The Popul Vuh

    For this assignment, you will evaluate characters from The Shahnameh, Sundiata, and The Popul Vuh and then write an essay with a minimum of 1000 words (see specific topic below) arguing for and supporting your conclusions. This assignment will build your writing, analytical, and evaluative skills.

    You may be able to further develop ideas you have already submitted in our discussions. However, be careful not to plagiarize your classmates’ submissions. You are encouraged to use the material in the course to further develop your own original interpretations and arguments; researching other secondary sources is not required for this assignment, and plagiarism of other sources and AI use will not be tolerated. If you use sources beyond the primary texts (the epics), be sure to include citations for those secondary sources along with your citations for the epics. Both MLA in-text citations and a Works Cited page are required for this assignment.

    All semester, we have discussed the ways in which epics enable a community to share and reinforce strongly held cultural values. Heroes, in particular, are models of ethics and behavior, yet heroes are not static characters; they grow and develop during their journeys, shaped by the people they encounter and their experiences.

    For this assignment, pretend that the heroes of our last three epics–Rustem, Sundiata, and the Hero Twins have the ability and desire to read about each other in The Shahnameh, Sundiata, and The Popul Vuh. Explain the most significant lesson each character would learn from each of the other two epics (that is, two lessons total for each character) and how that might shape their growth as heroes and leaders. For the sake of this assignment, consider the Hero Twins together, not as two separate characters.

    Strong assignments will demonstrate awareness of the strengths and weaknesses of each hero, as well as the potential lessons to be drawn from the other two texts each hero will be reading. As always, support your arguments with detailed and specific evidence, particularly quotations. Use MLA format for in-text citations and the Works Cited.

    Write an essay of about eight paragraphs presenting your argument. Be sure to include quotations from the texts as well as additional details that illustrate and enhance the points you are making. Use the following outline:

    1. Your first paragraph should be an engaging introduction with a clear thesis that brings all three epics and epic heroes together. Structure your essay as you choose, but the writing should be organized. Perhaps focus on one character at a time, or focus on one text at a time. Be sure your thesis provides a strong argument and forecasts the structure you will be using in the essay.
    2. Give specific examples and quotes from the texts to support your analyses. Use in-text citations in MLA format for the quotations, and be sure to include page numbers from the texts included in this course.
    3. The last paragraph should be your conclusion. What do these three heroes (and, more broadly, these cultures) have to learn from each other? What have you learned from this creative exercise? Answer the question, “So what?” What should you and your reader do with the information and claims you’ve provided?
    4. Your final page should be your Works Cited page, in MLA format. It should include the three literary texts (our epics), as well as any content pages from the course material to which you may have referred.

  • midterm 1

    One of the grand and ongoing debates in the sociological analysis of social problems is the question of powerwhere it resides, how it operates, and what drives its perpetuation. Classical Marxist thinking posits that power is fundamentally rooted in economic class divisions, stemming from ownership (or lack thereof) of the means of production. From this perspective, gendered and racial inequalities are acknowledged but understood as symptoms of capitalism rather than independent forces shaping society.

    On the other hand, feminist theorists and critical race theorists argue for an intersectional approach, rejecting the notion that class alone determines power. Instead, they contend that power is multidimensional, with race, gender, and class intersecting in ways that amplify oppression. Unlike the Marxists, who see racial and gender inequalities as byproducts of capitalism, intersectionality theorists insist that these are distinct and equally pernicious systems of domination, each contributing uniquely to the broader landscape of social inequality.

    The task before you is this: Which side of this debate do you align with, and why? Your paper must take a clear stance, argue it convincingly, and support your position with evidence from class materials. This is a critical paper, not a descriptive onemeaning you are expected to engage with the debate, not merely summarize the two sides.

    A well-organized paper is a pleasure to read, so I strongly encourage you to plan your argument carefully, structuring your work with headings and subheadings where appropriate. The expected length is approximately 10 pages, though quality reigns supremeso if you are a page or two under or over, no alarms will be raised.

    Above all, demonstrate critical thinking. Engage with the theories, wrestle with their implications, and show that you have thought deeply about the nature of power in society.

    Best of luck. I look forward to reading your work.

  • Setting and Maintaining Personal and Professional Boundaries

    Self-Reflection #1

    You are going to take time to reflect on the work, duties and responsibilities of a community health worker. This can be related to the activities you are or will be doing in your internship or future CHW job. (The activities I am doing are some home visitations (Hospice patients) and clerical office work in a hospice office). This requires the CHW to demonstrate sensitivity, honesty and empathy in addition to setting personal and professional boundaries. After reading and discussing the topic of Setting and Maintaining Personal and Professional Boundaries, I would like you to reflect on the meaning, impact, implication and practicality of the following concepts as it relates to the interpersonal relationships you foresee having in your internship or future work experience.

    Concepts:

    Objectivity, transference, countertransference, triggers, and critical reflection

    To do:

    • Start by defining and understanding each concept in a way that makes sense to you.
    • Explain how each concept can affect the way you communicate and build relationships with others (clients, coworkers, collaborators) This requires a moment of self-reflection to identify any preconceived ideas, experiences which can be either negative or positive, lack of knowledge, skills or resources.
    • Identify potential strategies that you can incorporate into your practice to help you improve your communication and interpersonal relationships. These will be practical examples that can help you to be objective in your working relationships, specific activities than can help you recognize when you, your client or colleague may be engaging in transference or countertransference and what practical things can you do to self-correct your approach to the situation and identify a technique, activity or support system that you can use to practice asses your work and the way you handle conversations or treat others.

    You must write your reflection in an essay format, use Times New Roman font, font size twelve and write a minimum of five hundred words . See the scoring rubric for additional guidance on the writing process and allocation of points.
