The protection of patient data has become a critical part of the scope of practice of all healthcare professionals. Routine data breaches underscore the importance of training clinical employees in protecting these data. However, beyond exposure to HIPAA regulations, little is done to educate the healthcare student about the risks and vulnerabilities of the online environment as it pertains to health data” (Swede, Scovetta, & Eugene-Colin, 2018). Search the peer-reviewed literature for examples of this. You may select any topic relating to technology that illustrates the potential for really messing things up. Include, in your description, an analysis of what might have caused the problems and potential solutions to them. Be sure to provide supporting evidence, with citations from the literature.

Provide a 10 pages analysis while answering the following question: The Role of Mental Health Nurse: Schizophrenia. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The episodic disorders can be a progressive or stable deficit or it can be more than one episode with complete or incomplete remission. The diagnosis of schizophrenia should not be made when there are extensive depressive or manic symptoms unless the schizophrenic symptoms were found to have occurred earlier to the manic symptoms. It should not also be diagnosed as schizophrenia when there is a brain disease or when the individual is on drug intoxication or withdrawal.Mental health nursing is thought to be also related to the aspects other than biological science because the human body existed much earlier to the advent of medicine as a branch of knowledge. Mental health professionals need to perceive how pathological changes and environments interfere with homeostatic actions of the body and affect the thought process, feelings, and conduct. There are arguments that whole persons can be perceived only in the social context, that there is something called mind operating separately, and that biological knowledge by the mental health nurses will make them more oriented towards medicine and as a result, they would not take care of the mentally ill adequately under the belief that cure-care models are not compatible as they are thought to be mutually exclusive. As regards the first argument about whole persons, even though it is necessary to understand an individual with reference to his/her social and cultural environment, there can be still path physiological changes affecting the functioning of an individual. As for the second one relating to mind, those who are against biological knowledge for mental health nurses fail to appreciate the interface between mind and brain. They should appreciate that for any input there must an output. Hence, whatever the brain receives, interprets, processes, integrates, coordinates, and stores are reflected as outputs in the total personality, thoughts, feelings, and behavior of an individual.

Write an article on The Problem and Main Aspects of Hoarding. It needs to be at least 1750 words. Patients with hoarding disorder often collect a large number of worthless items that get accumulated in a disarranged mass beyond their intended use. The result is an obstruction to living areas of the house which is responsible for causing social, occupational, and functional impairment (Mataix-Cols, 2023). Hoarding behavior involves a consistent urge not to let go of possessions, be they valuable or useless. The irresistibility of the disorder makes it quite similar to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) although both are regarded as distinct disorders. Tolin, Villavicencio, Umbach, and Kurtz have documented a study they carried with OCD and hoarding disorder patients (413). The results showed the patients from both disorders do not differ significantly in their measures of attenuated attentional capacity. However, patients with hoarding disorder display a greater attenuation of the attentional ability. A majority of hoarding patients scored relatively higher in the neuropsychological test for impairment. Metcalf mentions in his article that the relationship between OCD and hoarding disorder is not considered strong. With the emergence of more and more studies into the subject, experts are finding out that hoarding disorder is, in fact, not an outgrowth of OCD but a distinctive disorder. According to recent research, patients meeting the criteria of hoarding disorder had experienced a deficiency of clothing, shelter, food, and money in their early lifetime (Landau et al., 192). A number of studies have found unusually elevated levels of distress or stressful life events among people who hoard items. These events are sometimes associated with trait onset or aggravation. Once the symptoms begin to surface, the progression of hoarding is often persistent. A minority of the patients encounter a revoking and a deteriorating sequence. In most cases, no evidence has&nbsp.been found if hoarding disorder is caused due to a specific factor.&nbsp.
