Razzaq’s Case Study
Razzaq came to Australia as a refugee from Iraq. After escaping Saddam Hussein’s regime and a hair-raising trip in an overcrowded boat, he was held in a detention centre for two years. He was then given a temporary visa for another three years, suffering constant fear that he would be sent back to Iraq. Finally, he received a permanent visa, and recently his wife and family have joined him in Australia.
Razzaq has times when he suddenly becomes very afraid when something quite minor happens like when his wife turns on the washing machine without telling him or he hears a car backfire in the distance. It reminds him of some of the noises from the war. He gets very angry and often yells at his wife and has even hit her once or twice. Sometimes he also yells at the children for very minor things. He feels very guilty then and tells himself that he is a bad husband and father. He often convinces himself that they would be better off without him because of these unpredictable attacks and then hides away for days because of the guilt. He only sleeps a few hours a night because of the awful nightmares.
The doctor listened to the story and then asked if there is anyone who disagrees with this view he has about himself. Razzaq told a story about someone he met the other day who knew him before the war. They talked about what a good journalist he had been and how difficult it was whenyour brain didn’t work like it used to because of all the awful pictures in it. The friend congratulated him on getting himself and his whole family out of the country safely and said what a good father and husband he must be. He came home and told his wife about the friend and she cried and said that he was a good husband and father and this madness would never take that away.
The doctor encouraged this view of himself as being the ‘real’ Razzaq. They discussed how PTSD had clouded this picture and how guilt, depression and social isolation were making it worse. They also discussed how strong his love was for his family, as he was so upset and guilty when he hurt them. Razzaq’s wife was asked to join the consultation and the three began building a new picture of how Razzaq could distract himself from the anger with such things as exercise and music, how the triggers in the household could be decreased, how socialising with people who knew this ‘real’ Razzaq would help him to be stronger and how he needed constantly to remind himself about his love, courage and perseverance. With his wife’s help he was able to forgive himself when he had an angry outburst or found it impossible to concentrate, and he began to feel safer to play and laugh with his children.
From: Mental Health Across Cultures (Benson & Thistlethwaite, Radcliffe Publishing, 2009, pp.85-86)
Instructions
- Describe the presenting symptoms of Razzaq and explain how a Registered Nurse and other healthcare professionals can assist Razzaq and his family in his recovery and ongoing management.
- Explore and discuss three mental health assessments required to assess Razzaq.
- Succinctly discuss the interventions to safely manage Razzaq’s PTSD. Include medical, psychosocial and nursing care interventions to improve his well-being.
- Critically analyse and explain the ethical and legal principles that need to be considered when delivering patient centered care.
- Identify cultural needs and discuss culturally evidence based care for Razzaq.
Essay presentation:
For this assignment you are required to write an essay:
- Provide an introduction that explains the purpose of the essay and how it is organized.
- End the essay with a strong conclusion that summarizes the arguments presented in the body of the essay.
- The purpose of an introduction is to provide a road map for the reader. In contrast, the purpose of the conclusion is to summarize the main points and provide direction for how to proceed in the future.
- You should use sub-headings to structure your essay.
- You should write in complete sentences (i.e. do not use dot points).
- If you choose to insert a Table or Figure into your essay you will need to make sure the Table or Figure adheres to APA (6 Ed.) style.
- The writing style in an essay is more formal than verbal speech. Make sure you do not write as you would speak.
- The essay must be written in the third person. Please note: the word “I” is not used when writing in the third person.
- Paraphrase information and only be use quotes if the information cannot be written any other way.
- Make sure you reference your work. Every statement of fact needs an in-text reference and as a general rule every paragraph in an essay should have at least one in-text reference.
- Pay attention to how you structure your sentences and paragraphs. A sentence contains one piece of information. Alternatively, a paragraph contains more than one sentence but deals with only one topic. Do not try to put too little or too much information into a paragraph because doing this is confusing for the reader.
- Pay attention to spelling, grammar and punctuation. It is important to proof read your work before submission.
- Include a reference list on a separate page at the end of the report.

analyse complex corporate problems and communicate arguments
and reasoning appropriately;
2. interpret and explain relevant provisions of corporate legislation and
demonstrate an awareness of the various contexts in which the law
operates; and
3. research a complex corporate law problem or issue by selecting the
appropriate methodology and using a range of legal resources to
complete a research project within a set time frame.
Specifications Task 1 Literature Review: maximum 1000 words excluding footnotes and
your attached bibliography, 12 point font size Times New Roman or Arial,
1.5 line spacing, page margins at a minimum of 2.5 cm (left, right, top
and bottom), and you must upload your Literature Review as a pdf
document.
Task 2 Research Paper: maximum 2500 words excluding footnotes
and your attached bibliography, 12 point font size Times New Roman or
Arial, 1.5 line spacing, page margins at a minimum of 2.5 cm (left,

a pdf document.
Overview
CRICOS No. 00213J
You are required to:
Task 1: Prepare a Literature Review that synthesises and critically evaluates the
relevant materials (literature, case law, and legislation) that you have located through your
research of the Research Paper topic (provided within this document). Within this Literature
Review you must also articulate the central argument that you have chosen to make in your
Research Paper. Your Literature Review must be accompanied by a bibliography, but the
bibliography is not included in the 1000 word limit.
Task 2: Research and prepare a written Research Paper that critically analyses the
research topic. Critical analysis of course requires you to take a position (that is
formulate a central argument), and develop that argument throughout your paper by
critically analysing existing literature, case law and legislation. You must attach a
bibliography but it is not be included in the 2500 word limit.
What you will do
TASK 1: LITERATURE REVIEW (10%)
Due Date – Thursday 17 Sunday 20 August 11.59pm (week 4) *note extended due date.
Relates to learning outcome 3 as specified in the unit outline
In this task you are required to:
Synthesise and critically evaluate the relevant materials (literature, case law, and legislation)
that you have located through your research of the Research Paper topic (provided below).
Articulate the central argument that you have chosen to make in your Research Paper. We
recommend that you do this within one concise paragraph.
Literature Reviews can be formulated in different ways. We do not want you to simply produce
a descriptive summary of the materials that you have located through your research. You are
required to “synthesize” and “critically evaluate” the materials. This exercise will assist you to
decide what your central argument will be because you will have an understanding of not only
what the literature says, but you will also develop an appreciation of, and opinion about, the
strengths and weaknesses of the law and different viewpoints on the topic.
Your Literature Review is due in week 4 so that we can provide you with general feedback to
assist your continued work on your Research Paper. We expect you to reflect upon this
feedback as you complete the final stages of your Research Paper’s formulation.
TASK 2: RESEARCH PAPER (Worth 40%)

Management of information systems and IT
Information systems are typically thought of as being the responsibility, and even property, of the department that manages an organization’s information technology, often called IT. However, other functional areas are usually major users of this information; and as such, they would like a say in how it is managed as well. Express whether or not you believe that management of information systems should be the sole responsibility of IT or if other areas should have a role. Explain the reasoning behind your conclusion.

Segmentation & Net Profit Contribution Analysis Sugo Robusto
This exercise is based on a Segmentation learning tool from Harvard Business School. The purpose of this tool is to determine how profitable different segments of a market can be for a company. This analysis helps the company to decide which (if any) segments to pursue. http://hbsp.harvard.edu/multimedia/flashtools/segmentation/index.html Read the introduction and the conceptual overview of segmentation (note: there is a scroll bar on those pages ( it’s easy to miss it). You should already be familiar with these main concepts, as they are discussed in detail in Kotler & Keller. The three additional concepts are Net Marketing Contribution (NMC) shows company’s profit after promotion or marketing expenses. NMC = Market (or Segment) Size * Market (or Segment) Share * Product Price * Product Margin ” Marketing Expenses Marketing Return on Sales (Marketing ROS) is an indicator of profitability and it used to compare different companies and industries. It shows how much of the sales get returned to the company after all the related costs of activity are deducted. MRS = NMC/ Sales Marketing Return on Investment (Marketing ROI) measures rates of return of marketing dollars invested in the segment. ROI = NMC for segment/marketing expenses for the segment Review the sample problem of Sugo Robusto company and help Carlo decide if a marketing campaign tailored to a specific segment (upper class women with two or more children) is a good idea. Carlo wants the campaign to generate positive marketing ROI and ROS more than 10%. Click on the Tool. The tool will have the numbers from the case pre-loaded. Note that total size of the segment is presented in $$ and is calculated as follows — 80,000,000 units (total market size) * 25% (size of the segment under consideration) * $10 (price of one jar). a) Briefly explain what company profit, company revenue, net marketing contribution, marketing return on sales, and marketing return on investment for this segment mean for Sugo Robusto? Do they satisfy the criteria that Carlo set? Carlo was notified by the market research department that in addition to the upper class mothers segment, there is another one ” middle class working mothers living in urban neighborhoods — that might be promising. The size of that segment is larger ” it is $300,000,000, so the company’s goal can be to obtain 20% of that market. Profit margin can stay the same, at 40%. It will be more expensive to ?reach those consumers so marketing expenses are also higher, at $17,000,000. b) Enter the numbers from the paragraph above in the tool. The tool will calculate company’s profit, company revenue, net marketing contribution, marketing return on sales and marketing for Sugo Robusto in that segment. Do they satisfy the criteria that Carlo set? c) The company can’t pursue both segments due to production and budget limitations. Compare the two segments and recommend one segment to pursue.
