Discussion: Risk Assessment

When forecasting the weather, meteorologists rely on a number of concrete predictive methods: They can collate quantitative data about the weather’s current state, for example, or they can analyze how the weather today may match up with typical weather patterns and forecasting models. While you well know that the weather can be unpredictable, weather forecasting attempts to pinpoint identifiable and measurable outcomes in uncertain situations. When attempting to forecast risk, you too will employ defined methods and processes in order to identify, assess, and measure potential risks. In this week, you will analyze a scenario and distinguish the best ways to identify risk.

With these thoughts in mind:

Consider an organization where you currently work or for which you have worked or volunteered in the past. Your company has decided that it is time for some corporate rest, relaxation, and family fun. The chief operations officer wants to conduct a corporate picnic on an upcoming Saturday at a nearby park. All family members are invited to join, including your four-legged, furry family members. There will be a baseball tournament, horseshoes, and a pool for swimming. The weather is expected to be in the high 90s. There will be beer, soda, hot dogs, and hamburgers.

Share with your fellow colleagues your ideas/methods/techniques about how you would identify the risks associated with having this event, distinguishing qualitative and quantitative risks. Use this Discussion question to assist with the development of the risk register for the Assignment this week.

Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders

 Assignment: Controversy Associated With Dissociative Disorders The  DSM-5-TR  is a diagnostic tool. It has evolved over the decades, as have the classifications and criteria within its pages.

Not all practitioners are in agreement with the content and structure of the  DSM-5-TR , and dissociative disorders are one such area. These disorders can be difficult to distinguish and diagnose. There is also controversy in the field over the legitimacy of certain dissociative disorders, such as dissociative identity disorder, which was formerly called multiple personality disorder. In this Assignment, you will examine the controversy surrounding dissociative disorders. You will also explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations pertinent to working with patients with these disorders.
