Role of PMHNP.

However, in line with Sartori’s (1970) assertion that “the rules for climbing and descending along a ladder of abstraction are thus very simple rules ….We make a concept more abstract and more general by lessening its properties or attributes …” (p. 1041), the definition by the trio, may have lost one of the core ingredients of terrorism – the psychological impact. The trio had, however, explained that the reduction in salience accorded the psychology element, is not unconnected to the temporal differences from Schmid’s study. They also suggested that the writers of the published articles, which they used for their study may have adopted definitions that reflected the expressions of fourth wave terrorism, as opposed to third wave terrorism, which was in operation during Schmid’s study. Furthermore, the authors had also noted that the country of origin of journal contributors also played a role in their choice of definition elements. For example, an examination of the “civilian” and “fear” definitional elements by authors from Middle East (ME), Western Europe (WE) and North America (NA) showed marked differences. While experts from the ME had a 0% civilian component, 50% included fear in their definitions. Contrarily, WE and NA authors had a 40% and 20% civilian element and 20% and 17% highlighted the fear component respectively. This to some extent confirms Drake’s (1989) assertion regarding the nature of the definition of terrorism, when he argued that no singular definition can sufficiently capture the meaning of the word. Thus, the word is open to the subjective interpretations of speakers depending on their cultural, political or social leaning (p. xiv). Richard (2014) study approached terrorism as a mode of violence, appropriated by different groups, states, and ideologies. His definition of terrorism is a product of three key assumptions: a. No act of violence “is in and of itself inherently terrorist” (p. 222). According to the author, terrorist’s events are products of a host of violence-based techniques such as bombing, kidnapping for ransom, theft, hostage taking, and more. These approaches are not unique to terrorist organisations, but are also employed by different groups, from social movements to ‘legitimate’ states. However, the techniques adopted become terrorist, only when layers of meaning are applied.

Sample Solution

Do you have a passion for patient-centered, holistic and collaborative approaches to care? Do you have excellent communication and relationship-building skills? If you answered yes, you should consider a career as a PMHNP.  PMHNPs provide advanced care to patients with psychiatric disorders, and they often work with primary care and specialty providers. The role of the PMHNP is to assess, diagnose and treat the mental health needs of patients. This reflective journal is a great tool to help PMHNP providers improve on their practice. Through self-reflection, the student can monitor and manage their own emotional health more effectively by recognizing their feelings and understanding which cases they are best equipped to handle personally as opposed to referring out. The goal of this exercise is for students to learn what triggers them emotionally, how these emotions affect their decision making in the role of PMHNP, and ultimately how they can use those insights for self growth.
