You are a therapist who specializes in counseling people who have an incurable disease and a limited time to live. You have recently decided that you want to inspire your patients to live what is left of their lives to the fullest. Someone suggested that you hang Suzanne Rivera’s poem “Memento Mori” on the wall of your office to provoke thoughtful discussions of the struggles they face.
Do you think this poem will inspire your patients? Consider their situation in life. Does the poem provide the motivation they need to make the best they can out of the time they have left? Why or why not?
Write a letter to the families of your patients explaining your decision. Base your reasons on the poem itself and use evidence from the poem to support your reasons.
HOW TO ORGANIZE THE ESSAY
INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH. Introduce to the families of your patients:
• What you are writing to them about
• A powerful statement of your decision. What is it about the poem’s overall message that most influenced you in your decision?
PARAGRAPH #2: The 1st reason for your decision based on lines 1-10. Look at the meaning expressed in the sentence in these lines. Also look at the images (comparisons and similes) the poet uses:
1. Think about how she portrays death in lines 1-8.
2. Then look at how she completes her thought in lines 9-10.
3. How do you think her overall meaning in these lines will help (or hurt) your patients?
PARAGRAPH #3: Predict how lines 11-20 will affect your patients in the days and months they have left.
1. Look at the thought expressed in lines 11-12.
2. Also look at the images (comparisons and similes) the poet uses portray the things of life (time, flowers, names, bodies) in lines 13-20.
3. What does she say here that you think (or don’t think) will help your patients live the time they have left to the fullest?
PARAGRAPH #4: Use a counter-argument to support your decision based on lines 21-28:
1. First think about why your fellow therapists at the clinic might think you’re making the wrong decision:
a. Begin the paragraph by explaining their concerns.
b. Be thorough and respectful in explaining a reason they might disagree with you. Show you have already thought it through and you’re on top of this.
2. Then use a “turn” like “However, ___” and use lines 21-28 to reply fully and thoughtfully to your colleagues:
a. Look at what Rivera wants out of life in lines 21-23 and the metaphors she uses to express it.
b. Also notice in lines 24-27 she’s saying quite clearly what she doesn’t want without any comparisons.
c. Finally, what does she say in the last line (28) you think (or don’t think) will help your patients?
CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH: Find a powerful way to reinforce your overall decision. Don’t repeat your main points. Instead, think about the importance this has for your patients and their families.

You are a family nurse practitioner employed in a busy primary care office. The providers in the group include one physician and three nurse practitioners. The back office staff includes eight medical assistants who assist with patient care as well as filing, answering calls from patients, processing laboratory results and taking prescriiption renewal requests from patients and pharmacies. Stephanie, a medical assistant, has worked in the practice for 10 years and is very proficient at her job. She knows almost every patient in the practice, and has an excellent rapport with all of the providers.

Mrs. Smith was seen today in the office for an annual physical. Her last appointment was a year ago for the same reason. During this visit, Mrs. Smith brought an empty bottle of amoxicillin with her and asked if she could have a refill. You noted the patient’s name on the label, and the date on the bottle was 1 week ago. You also noted your name printed on the label as the prescriber. The patient admitted that she called last week concerned about her cough and spoke to Stephanie. You do not recall having discussed this patient with Stephanie nor do the other providers in the practice.

Biblical Theology

The attention will be focused on the theological foundations
of leadership. The goal of this discussion is to conclude with a strong
understanding of the shepherd and slave motifs. Discussion must focus primarily
on what is meant by the concept itself. This is primarily about the definition
and meaning of the usage of the word “shepherd” and “slave”
within the Bible. Interact with the textbook readings for the course, but also
with theological reference material and biblical commentaries to find
theological definitions of the concepts. (Next module’s discussion will focus
on tracing the theme throughout Scripture.) For the initial post, each student
must provide a theological overview of either the “shepherd” or
“slave” motif as used within Scripture. The overview must include
appropriate reference material. The student will post one response to the
discussion question of 300-400 words. In the response, lecture material, Scripture, examples, and/or thoughtful
analysis support major points.Strong understanding of the shepherd and slave motifs. what is meant by the concept of shepherd and slave biblically?
