Capella University Assessing Types of Therapy Discussion
Question Description
OVERVIEW
Thus far, you have learned about the process and need for treatment of offenders in correctional institutions. Various factors determine which type of therapy would be best for offenders. For example, offenders with long-term substance abuse issues may need a different type of therapy from offenders who may not have substance abuse issues but continue to demonstrate undesirable behaviors.

Identify the type of group therapy demonstrated in a correctional setting.
Describe different types of therapy (individual or group) to benefit offenders.
Describe the challenges of providing counseling in a correctional setting.
Identify the behavioral issues a correctional counselor must address with an offender.
Explain how to manage offenders who are resistant to counseling.
Explain how to manage offenders who are demonstrating undesirable behaviors and may need mental health treatment.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
The events that have contributed to the nursing shortage are the increasing demand for healthcare services, the aging of the population, and the retirement of experienced nurses. In my LPN field of specialty, the shortage of LPNs is due in part to the fact that LPNs are in high demand and there are not enough of them available to fill the positions. The shortage is also due to the fact that there is a shortage of educators, burnout and retired experienced nurses (Daniel & Smith, 2018). The nursing shortage will continue to be a problem because there are not enough LPNs available to fill positions in hospitals and nursing homes. To address the nursing shortage, more LPNs need to be educated and become registered nurses. Additionally, the nursing profession is working toward a resolution of the problem by creating initiatives such as nurse-to-nurse mentorship and creating partnerships between hospitals and nursing schools.
Nurse-to-nurse mentorship is an excellent way to help resolve the nursing shortage. Nurse-to-nurse mentorship pairs experienced nurses with new nurses so that the new nurses can learn from the experienced nurses and can be able to provide quality care to patients (Hale & Phillips, 2019). Additionally, nurse-to-nurse mentorship can help new nurses develop a sense of professionalism and can provide them with the skills they need to become registered nurses. Creating partnerships between hospitals and nursing schools is also an excellent way to resolve the nursing shortage. By partnering with hospitals, nursing schools can learn from the hospitals how to best employ nurses and can offer more opportunities for new nurses (Markaki et al., 2021). In addition, partnering with nursing schools can help the nursing profession develop better methods for hiring nurses and provide more training for experienced nurses.
LopesWrite Policy
For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.
Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.
Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?
Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:
