Question 1 (4 points) A fundamental correlate of hippocampal neural firing is one’s location within an environment.
(about 400 words) How does the hippocampus seem to represent spatial context and ones location in an environment? Be sure to define what you mean by ‘context’. What is strong experimental evidence from class or assigned readings to support your answer?
Question 2 (3 points; about 400 words)
Episodic memory includes processing more than spatial information, and one does not need to be navigating to establish an episodic memory. Explain how one can transform our understanding of the neural circuitry underlying spatial memory during navigation to an understanding of how you establish episodic memories of the different types of animals that you saw at the zoo this weekend. What evidence backs up your explanation?
Question 3 (3 points; about 400 words)
Over the past few weeks you have learned a lot about what going on in the brain during learning and memory. Detail at least 2 behavioral/cognitive strategies you could use in your everyday life (school, work, social settings) to boost your brains ability to encode, maintain, and retrieve information. Provide an example of a scenario in your own life for each of these 2 behavioral/cognitive strategies. Be sure to include evidence from class or readings which validates the use of these strategies.

Lying in Childhood
Children like to make things up. They exaggerate stories to give them a bit more ‘flavour’. In fact, pretending and imagining are important to your child’s development. It’s good to encourage this kind of play. ‘Tall tales’ don’t need to be treated as lies, especially for children under four. A ‘white lie’ is a harmless lie told with good intention – usually to protect the feelings of another person. Children as young as three were able to tell white lies. This happened particularly when the parent coached the child in advance. For example, before a child receives a gift, the child is encouraged to say they like it. In this situation, some children will still tell the truth (‘I don’t like it!’) even if they understand that this might hurt somebody’s feelings.
1) Why?
2) Why do children lie?
3) When do children start lying? Link to cognitive abilities.
4) Do you remember lying? Does the nature of adult lying differ from that of lying during childhood?
Ideas to consider: manipulation in children – is this about effecting a change in their environment – is the lying malicious — so include a discussion on childhood manipulation and how children may attempt to manipulate others

ANSWER
Title: Role Transition from RN to APRN-NP: The Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Perspective
Introduction to RN to APRN-NP Role Transition:
The transition from a registered nurse (RN) to an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) marks a significant step in one’s nursing career. This paper explores the role differences between an RN and an APRN-NP, with a specific focus on the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) role. It delves into the ethical considerations, the role of PMHNPs in health policy and public awareness, and how PMHNP programs and ANCC board certification prepare nurses for this professional transition.
Differences in Nursing Roles of RN and APRN-NP:
RN and APRN-NP roles differ significantly in terms of scope, responsibilities, and educational preparation. RNs provide direct patient care, often under the supervision of healthcare providers. In contrast, APRN-NPs, such as PMHNPs, have an expanded scope of practice that includes diagnosing, treating, and managing health conditions, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, and prescribing medications. PMHNPs, specifically, are equipped to provide mental health assessments, therapy, and medication management, thereby playing a crucial role in mental healthcare delivery.
Potential Differences/Challenges Regarding Ethical Issues:
The transition from RN to APRN-NP brings about ethical challenges related to autonomy, informed consent, and decision-making. APRN-NPs, including PMHNPs, must navigate complex ethical dilemmas, such as balancing patient autonomy with the duty to provide appropriate care. Additionally, ethical considerations related to prescribing psychotropic medications and maintaining patient confidentiality become paramount. To address these challenges, APRN-NPs receive specialized education and training in ethics and legal issues.
Role of PMHNP in Health Policy and Public Awareness:
PMHNPs play a vital role in shaping health policy and raising public awareness about psychiatric mental health trends and issues. They are advocates for mental health reform, addressing disparities in access to mental healthcare, and promoting destigmatization. PMHNPs engage in policy discussions, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, and contribute their expertise to shape regulations and legislation related to mental health. Their involvement in public awareness campaigns reduces the stigma associated with mental illness and encourages individuals to seek help when needed.
Preparation as a PMHNP through Education and Certification:
PMHNP programs and ANCC PMHNP board certification ensure that nurses are adequately prepared to practice professionally in this role. PMHNP programs offer a comprehensive curriculum covering mental health assessment, psychotherapy, pharmacology, and advanced practice nursing concepts. Clinical rotations provide hands-on experience in diverse mental health settings. ANCC PMHNP board certification validates the nurse’s competence in the specialty and adherence to the highest standards of practice, ensuring that they are well-prepared to provide safe and effective care.
Conclusion:
The transition from an RN to an APRN-NP, specifically a PMHNP, involves a significant shift in roles, responsibilities, and ethical considerations. PMHNPs have a unique role in shaping health policy, advocating for mental health, and providing essential mental healthcare services. Their preparation through specialized education and certification equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in this vital role, ultimately improving mental health outcomes for individuals and communities.

A few months ago, the upper management of a large corporation that employs 2,500 people decided to implement major changes in the method their company handles the development of projects. This change was based on a well-known model used in the military that was familiar to the CEO. The reasoning for the change was not well-communicated to employees; it was simply mandated to be implemented without providing required, significant learning or training opportunities. Many employees do not feel they fit of this model is beneficial for their particular type of program. As a result, employee morale is low, and group dynamics and personal work performance are suffering because the work process as it relates to their job performance is not understood. should address the following items: Write 2 specific questions with answers you would use to gather information from the participants (in the case study) via interviews, surveys, or focus groups. Be sure they align with a research question.

Explain, from a developmental perspective, the hazards of a poor, high-fat diet for children’s development. Discuss the inappropriateness of luring children (and their parents) to purchase special “kid’s meals” and accompanying toys. Focus on the argument that spending advertising dollars to highlight such meals and toys, along with offering popular, trendy toys, contributes to the poor nutrition habits of children too young to understand the hazards (think classical conditioning). Discuss realistic options parents have in combating the attraction that advertising has on them and their children.
