Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease characterized by hypochloremia and autosomal recessive inheritance tendencies. CF occurs in 1 in 2500 births, and 1 out of 25 whites carry one copy of the specific gene that causes cystic Fibrosis. When one of 2 or more alternative forms of a gene in the DNA sequence is at a genomic location with embryos inheriting two alleles, one from each parent, the individual is homozygous (having identical genome markers found at the same place on the chromosome). . (McCance & Huether, 2019
Homozygous individuals must have a recessive allele to deliver the disease. (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2023) These genes or alleles are classified as normal, wild-type, abnormal, or mutant. If the allele is different, defined as heterozygous, or has two versions of the genomic marker. (Dutra, Ph.D., 2023) The CF gene encodes a protein product that forms chloride channels in the membranes of specialized epithelial cells.
Defective transport of chloride ions leads to a salt imbalance, resulting in secretions of abnormally thick, dehydrated mucus. Some digestive organs, particularly the pancreas, become obstructed, causing malnutrition, and the lungs become clogged with mucus making them highly susceptible to bacterial infections (Pseudomonas). With the progression of the disease, lung disease and heart failure develop, and by age 40, death is expected. Consanguinity or two individuals from the same bloodline (second cousins or closer) becoming pregnant with both carrying the same recessive genes, contributing to the inheritance of CF. (Dutra, Ph.D., 2023, Chapter four)

Several factors prevent people from recognizing ethical issues in the workplace. Fortunately, people can enhance their ethical sensitivity by recognizing the ethical aspects of routine workplace decisions or actively listening.
Part 5 of the report on ethics addresses the four parts prior to this unit and the following content for this unit:
Ethical and legal dilemmas in the workplace
Formulate leadership strategies from an organizational perspective
Incorporate a summary of each of the prior four assignments to expand leadership and ethics in the workplace
Assess the many aspects associated with leadership from an ethical context
Deliverable Requirements
Utilize all information gathered from previous assignments in your report. Prepare a report outlining your leadership development plan to be shared with the senior leadership team. The report should focus on practices that the organization can implement. Your final report should be at least 25 pages (5 pages/unit = 25 total) as an accumulation of all the pages from previous units.
Maternal child health
Case Study: You are called to a postpartum room and find Michael, a two-hour-old infant, irritable and spitting up copious amounts of formula. You do not know the maternal history, so you advise the mother that you would like to return the baby to the nursery for assessment and monitoring. In the medical record, you focus on the prenatal history and find the mother had an addiction to opioids with her last pregnancy but denied drug use with this pregnancy. You witness the baby having some significant tremors, vital signs: T (axillary) – 36.0, RR- 78, HR- 166, and the infant is alert, irritable, and does not console easily. The infant is constantly moving and sucking vigorously on the pacifier.
• What do you think is occurring with the infant?
• What lab test can be ordered to confirm your suspected diagnosis?
• What interventions can be implemented to treat this infant?
Gaps in memory, which are common, may be filled in by logic, guessing, or new information (Schacter, 2012). The result is often the storage of new long-term memories as older memories might be revised or even lost (Baddeley, Eysenck, & Anderson, 2009). What we remember depends on what we pay attention to, what we regard as meaningful or important, how we elaborate our memory, and what we feel strongly about. After reading Chapter 7, consider the concept of false memories.
1. Define false memories.
2. Discuss the research on false memories.
3. After watching the Elizabeth Loftis TedTalks video how has your opinion of memory changed?
In paragraph form, describe cloud computing as well as its benefits and disadvantages. Based on the materials you have read this week, explain three cloud-based solutions for individuals and three cloud-based solutions for businesses.

Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read chapters 1 through 6 of the textbook and the required articles listed with the theorist assigned to you for the discussion. For your initial post, you will examine the contributions of a theorist who was instrumental in developing the psychoanalytic theoretical approach based on the first letter of your last name. In addition to the required articles for your assigned theorist, research a minimum of one peer-reviewed article on your theorist’s research and work within the field of psychology. Examine and describe your theorist’s contribution(s) to psychodynamic theory. Examine the major theoretical approaches proposed by your theorist including any related research methods and/or assessment instruments associated with him or her. Evaluate any issues and cultural considerations associated with your assigned theorist. Analyze and describe how the APA’s Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct might affect the implementation of your theorist’s personality assessments. Assess the types of personality measurements and research designs associated with your assigned theorist and describe how they have evolved.
