MMC 6950_Fall B 2018 Professor Heather Radi-Bermudez CASE PRESENTATION – APONI PRINCE INTAKE DATE: November, xxxx IDENTIFYING/DEMOGRAPHIC DATA: Aponi is a 9-year-old, Native American female in fifth grade. She lives with her parents and twin brother, Anakin, in Leitchfield, Kentucky. Aponi’s dad is an attorney and her mom works in retail part time. CHIEF COMPLAINT/PRESENTING PROBLEM: Aponi’s parents are concerned about Aponi’s schoolwork and behavior at home and school. Aponi’s mother reports that Aponi is often irritable, negative and defiant. Mom states Aponi has frequent tantrums when she believes her brother is getting more than she is. She seems to always just want “her way.†This is causing a lot of trouble in school since she bullies others and threatens her peers to get things from them. HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Aponi had been having troubles in school since she was 6 years old. Each year of school since first grade teachers reported trouble with her peers. This year her teacher reported to the family that she seemed to have a habit of provoking other students as well as the teacher by making noises, rocking in her seat, and whistling in class. If a student responds to her she attempts to initiate fights with them. She is now in serious academic trouble. After a psycho-educational evaluation at school, it was found that she had above-average intellectual ability. Aponi’s mom worries that Aponi is intentionally acting out and annoys people because her and her husband have separated on two occasions over the years. Mom reports Aponi has tantrums which consist of shouting, cursing, crying, slamming doors, and sometimes throwing books or objects on the floor for several years. Aponi does bring home report cards that seemingly fail to reflect her intelligence. Her work remains unfinished a lot and she seldom answers questions when called on in class. PAST PSYCHIATRIC HISTORY: Aponi’s parents tried all kinds of ways to help their child focus on schoolwork. They have hired private tutors for the past two years to keep her focused. Aponi has challenges with social attachments, as evinced by her difficulty with peer relationships. She has always connected with a much younger person and got along okay. Mom has previously taken Aponi to a behaviorist for help and mom believed Aponi has a poor self-esteem. This was initiated when mom found out Aponi was taking other students lunch money and personal items for herself. The behaviorist reported Aponi had troubling skills in communicating in socially acceptable ways and appears to have little regard for the feelings, wishes, and welfare of others. Mom became angry and stopped the treatment. SUBSTANCE USE HISTORY: Aponi denies any use of drugs or alcohol. PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: Aponi has been fairly healthy throughout her life. Any illness was remedied through her parents’ natural means and their religion. FAMILY MEDICAL AND PSYCHIATRIC HISTORY: This is a Native American family which adheres to the behaviors and parenting of their culture. There is no reported psychiatric history in the family. Any medical conditions were treated with herbal remedies or medicinal foods. CURRENT FAMILY ISSUES AND DYNAMICS: Aponi’s parents are Native American and adhere to that culture. The Prince’s separated on two occasions over the past five years. They previously would have severe verbal fights that both Aponi and her brother were privy to due to Mr. Prince’s drinking. The twins would both become angry since they have had nanny’s and caretakers their entire life. The parents were not comfortable bringing Aponi in for an evaluation, but they were referred by the school system. Aponi’s mother reports that she has given up on asking her to help with chores, because it inevitably results in an argument. MENTAL STATUS EXAM: Aponi presents as a casually dressed female who appears her stated age of 9. She is a bit anxious during the interview and appears sullen and irritable. Her affect is appropriate but seems a bit defiant at times. Motor activity is appropriate. Speech is clear. There is no evidence of delusions or hallucinations. Aponi’s intelligence appears average. She is oriented to time, place, and person. During the mental status exam Aponi was kicking her foot against her mother’s chair and mom asked her to stop. She looked at her and continued to kick mom’s chair until she became angry. Aponi started yelling and stated that she wasn’t doing anything and that her mother was just picking on her. She insists that her problems are all her mother’s fault and she is always nagging her unfairly.

Paper For Above instruction

The provided proposal template emphasizes clarity and structure for research projects within a communication or social sciences context. The primary goal is to guide researchers in systematically developing their project outlines, including the topic synopsis, background, problem statement, objectives, methodologies, anticipated use of findings, and relevant demographic data.

The initial section requires a concise description of the project's focus, limited to four or five sentences, aiming to capture the essence of the research topic. This should set the stage for understanding the research's purpose and scope succinctly. Following this, a background section should provide contextual historical insights or existing research that justifies the significance of the project, formatted succinctly in two paragraphs.

The problem statement must clearly identify and articulate the specific communication challenge to be addressed, restricted to three sentences for clarity. The campaign objectives then elaborate on the goals of the project—particularly if focusing on a marketing campaign (Project A)—including research questions for Project B. These objectives specify what questions the research aims to answer or what the project seeks to accomplish.

The methodology section must detail the specific primary research methods (such as interviews, focus groups, surveys), including the distribution, organization, and selection of participants, without mentioning secondary research. Additionally, the expected practical application of the research findings should be outlined, explaining how the results will be used to advance knowledge or influence practice.

The case example of Aponi Prince offers a comprehensive demographic and psychological profile, illustrating the kind of detailed background information that might inform a research project in a social or behavioral context. It covers her personal demographics, family background, behavioral issues, prior interventions, and current psychological assessment, providing a rich context for research or intervention planning.
