The Biopsychosocial Approach
The biopsychosocial approach was developed at Rochester decades ago by Drs. George Engel and John Romano. While traditional biomedical models of clinical medicine focus on pathophysiology and other biological approaches to disease, the biopsychosocial approach in our training programs emphasize the importance of understanding human health and illness in their fullest contexts. The biopsychosocial approach systematically considers biological, psychological, and social factors and their complex interactions in understanding health, illness, and health care delivery.
• Biological, psychological, and social factors exist along a continuum of natural systems, as depicted in the list here.
• Systematic consideration of psychological and social factors requires application of relevant social sciences, just as consideration of biological factors requires application of relevant natural sciences. Therefore, both the natural and social sciences are ‘basic’ to medical practice. In other words, psychological and social factors are not merely epiphenomena: they can be understood in scientific ways at their own levels as well as in regard to their biological correlates.
• Humanistic qualities are highly valued complements to the biopsychosocial approach, which involves the application of the scientific method to diverse biological, psychological, and social phenomena as related to human health.
• While the biomedical approach takes the reductionistic view that all phenomena are best understood at the lowest level of natural systems (e.g., cellular or molecular), the biopsychosocial approach recognizes that different clinical scenarios may be most usefully understood scientifically at several levels of the natural systems continuum.
To apply the biopsychosocial approach to clinical practice, the clinician should:
• Recognize that relationships are central to providing health care
• Use self-awareness as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool
• Elicit the patient’s history in the context of life circumstances
• Decide which aspects of biological, psychological, and social domains are most important to understanding and promoting the patient’s health
• Provide multidimensional treatment

Conflicting Viewpoints Essay
Assignment 1.2: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part II
Synthesizing and Writing
Due Week 4 and worth 100 points
When looking for information about a particular issue, how often do you try to resist biases toward your own point of view? This assignment asks you to engage in this aspect of critical thinking.
The assignment is divided into two (2) parts.
For Part I of the assignment (due Week 2), you read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes, reviewed the Procon.org Website in order to gather information, and engaged in prewriting to examine your thoughts.
* Remember that in the Week 2 Discussion, you examined the biases discussed in Chapter 2 of the webtext.
In Part II of the assignment (due Week 4), you will write a paper to synthesize your ideas.
Part II – Writing
Write at three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. State your position on the topic you selected for Assignment 1.1.
2. Identify (3) three premises (reasons) from the Procon.org website that support your position and explain why you selected these specific reasons.
3. Explain your answers to the “believing” questions about the three (3) premises opposing your position from the Procon.org website.
4. Examine at least two (2) types of biases that you likely experienced as you evaluated the premises for and against your position.
5. Discuss the effects of your own enculturation or group identification that may have influenced your biases.
6. Discuss whether or not your thinking about the topic has changed after playing the “Believing Game,” even if your position on the issue has stayed the same.
The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:
- Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
- Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
- Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
- Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA Style format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
- Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:
- Identify the informal fallacies, assumptions, and biases involved in manipulative appeals and abuses of language.
- Create written work utilizing the concepts of critical thinking.
- Use technology and information resources to research issues in critical thinking skills and informal logic.
Congressional Report review
Review the following report at:
https://kapextmediassl-a.akamaihd.net/healthSci/HA545/HA545_1703C/u5_as.pdf
Using this Congressional Report for members of Congress and your textbook, write a 5-page memorandum/paper on the topic of rulemaking.
You are a summer intern with Harry Smith, a Congressman from your home district. He has to advise his congressional committee on the impact of interest groups on legislation. Write the memorandum to explain the purpose and influence on rulemaking in the operation of the legislation. You should offer suggestions on the importance of the implementation phase of the legislation.
PLAGIARISM IS HIGHLY UNACCEPTABLE!
Should be in APA format
Tone and Negative Messages and Persuasive Messages
300 Words APA Style
M4D1: Tone and Negative Messages and Persuasive Messages
The communication options you choose will depend o n what you want to accomplish and what you and your audience find comfortable. Be aware that each generation has communication technology preferences. Instant messaging is often preferred by Generation X (under 50) and Generation Y (under 30), whereas Baby Boomers prefer email and mobile phone calls. You may find yourself out of touch with clients, co-workers, and associates who gravitate toward media you do not use. The ability to craft persuasive messages is also important when you are formulating a message that is bad news or trying to change perceptions or opinions. Persuasive Tone and Negative Messages and Persuasive Messagestechniques in communication can be used for influencing target audiences, changing perceptions, and maintaining the reputation of the organization.
For this discussion question, start by composing a brief persuasive message to your immediate supervisor explaining why your organization should be using social media to interact with various stakeholders. When writing this brief message, use the AIDA model discussed in the chapter (make sure you clearly label each section (attention, interest, desire, and action).

Homework #2 – The market for labor and the production function (Chapter 3)
Due Friday, 9/15 at the beginning of class – no late papers accepted!
Instructions: Please show all work or points will be taken off. Good luck!
1. (60 points total).
a) (5 points) Fill in the Table below.
| Number of workers | Units of output | MPN |
| 0 | ||
| 1 | 40 | |
| 2 | 75 | |
| 3 | 105 | |
| 4 | 130 | |
| 5 | 150 | |
| 6 | 165 | |
| 7 | 175 |
b. (10 points) Define the marginal product of labor and explain how it relates to the production function (with N on horizontal axis and Y on vertical axis). What shape does a production function typically take and why? Does this production function take the ‘typical’ shape?
Consider the recent news on the value of the US dollar
Assume that you sell your output to Europe for a US price = $10, and The exchange rate at the beginning of 2017 was one euro = $1.03 but for ease with the numbers, let’s round down to one euro equal $1.00. So the euro price of your product is 10 Euros. Answer the following questions.
c) (5 points) You can hire all the workers you want at $210 per worker. Along with the US price = $10, calculate the number of workers that you will hire and the associated profit in REAL terms (as we did in class, we ‘assume away’ all other costs of production). Please give me the marginal REAL profit of each worker hired and then add them up and that is the total profit in real terms.
We now adjust for the change in the value of the US dollar relative to the euro – as the title of the article suggests, the current exchange rate is now one euro = $1.25
d)(5 points) What is the new Euro price of your product, assuming that your US dollar price stays at $10?
e).(5 points) Given the change in conditions you decide to raise the price of your product in US dollar terms so that the Euro price stays the same as it was before the change in the exchange rate. What is the new US dollar price? Please show all work.
f) (10 points) What has happened to the marginal revenue product (MRPN) for each worker (has it gone up or down?) and why given the change in price? Be sure to define what the marginal revenue product is and what it means in ‘laypersons’ terms.
g) (10 points) Given that the US$ price of your product has changed, explain how and why you would change your behavior. Please provide the intuition beginning your answer with… at the same level of labor input I am no longer ……… (please be as specific as possible). Again, explain in REAL terms, not nominal terms.
h. (5 points) Calculate the new level of profits in REAL terms given the change in condition including the change in the exchange rate, the change in the US $ price of your product. and the change in your behavior.
i)(5 points) The Treasury secretary Mnuchin and President Trump would argue that a weak dollar is good for firms and creates jobs – are your results consistent with the notion, why or why not? Explain!
2. (75 points total) Please show all work
Suppose the labor supply for a firm is given by:
NS = 5 + 2w
and REAL Labor Demand (MPN) is given by:
MPN = A K – 2 N
A = 10, K = 4
a)(5 points) Calculate the market clearing real wage and labor input (show work).
In the space below, draw a picture of this labor market labeling this initial equilibrium as point A. Be sure to label your graph completely.
15 points for correct and completely labeled diagram
b)(10 points) The local government votes on and passes a living wage ordinance, similar to a minimum wage, making it illegal to pay less than 20 in real terms – that is, the living wage is 20 – it is illegal for firms to pay less – we can assume we are in the base period so that nominal wages are the same as real wages. How many workers are willing to work at a real wage of 20 and how many workers are firms willing to hire? What do we call this difference?
Add these 2 points as points B on your diagram.
c)(10 points) Explain exactly why the firm changes their behavior given the governments decision to impose a living wage = 20. Start with at the same level of labor input…….
d)(5 points) Compare the number of people willing to work before and after the living wage legislation – why is this number so different?
e) (10 points) Suppose the local government decides not to pass the living wage ordinance and instead passes a bill where county workers have access to classes designed to increase their human capital and thus, increase their productivity. It works!
“K” which of course stands for human and physical capital rises to 7 (it was 4)
Resolve for the market clearing real wage and labor input and label this point as C on your graph.
f)(10 points) Now consider the movement from point A to point C on your graph. Explain why the firm changes their behavior – explain using specific numbers again starting your answer with at the same level of labor input…….
g)(5 points) Were workers better off with the living wage ordinance or with the classes that increase their human capital? Explain.
h)(5 points) Are firms better with the living wage ordinance or the training classes? Explain.
3. (50 points total – 5 for each of part and 15 points for completely labeled diagram.)
The following equations characterize a country’s closed economy.
Production function: Y = A·K·N – N2/2
Marginal product of labor: MPN = A·K – N.
where the initial values of A = 8 and K = 10.
The initial labor supply curve is given as: NS = 20 + 9w.
a) (10 points) Find the equilibrium levels of the real wage, employment and output (show work).
In the space below, draw two diagrams vertically with the labor market on the bottom graph and the production function on the top graph. Be sure to label everything including these initial equilibrium points as point A.
(15 points for correct and completely labeled diagrams)
We now have numerous changes to our economic conditions (all is not constant). Think of all these changes happening together, that is, we go from one state of economic affairs to a different state of economic affairs. Below are the changes.
· The labor supply changes and is now: NS = 24 + 9w .
· K goes down from 10 to 8.
b) (5 points) What could cause such a change in labor supply? Please give two specific and well supported reasons. Be sure to explain your answer.
c) (10 points) Solve for the new equilibrium values of the real wage, employment, and output and label as point B.
d)(10 points) Explain why exactly why the firm changes their behavior… again… at the same level of labor input ……….. Use specific numbers!
