The Christian narrative of creation is essential to Christian theology
The Christis biblical narrative is the foundation that states God is the creator of everything that exists (Grand Canyon University, 2018). God described his act of creation as good, which means that it was valuable and everything in its original state was the way it was supposed to be (Grand Canyon University, 2018). Men and women are created in the image of God and whether in health or sickness all humans have intrinsic value.
Fall: The fall and separation from God broke homeostasis of creation itself, bringing upon disease, sickness, suffering and death. These are all effects of the fall and not part of God’s original design (Grand Canyon University, 2018).
Redemption: The brokenness of the fall is being restored through redemption. The resurrection has several implications on disease, healing and death such as a motive for Christian ethics which is primarily love (Grand Canyon University, 2018).
Restoration: A renewed world is the goal of the biblical narrative. The biblical view of restoration informs the Christian health care provider that while medical science is good, it is limited and imperfect (Grand Canyon University, 2018). Healing from illness requires spiritual and communal restoration (Grand Canyon University, 2018).
One could find comfort and hope in the light of illness according to the four parts of the Christian biblical narrative. Christians need a firm foundation to guide and sustain them and through the biblical narrative provides a rich and deep perspective for the many ethical issues encountered in the world (Grand Canyon University 2018). These frameworks provide wisdom and guidance for complex dilemmas (Grand Canyon University 2018).
Using 200-300 words APA format with at least two references. Sources must be published within the last 5 years.
What do the four parts of the Christian biblical narrative (i.e., creation, fall, redemption, and restoration) say about the nature of God and of reality in relation to the reality of sickness and disease? From where would one find comfort and hope in the light of illness according to this narrative? Explain in detail each part of the narrative above and analyze the implications.

Counseling Adolescents
The adolescent population is often referred to as “young adults,” but in some ways, this is a misrepresentation. Adolescents are not children, but they are not yet adults either. This transition from childhood to adulthood often poses many unique challenges to working with adolescent clients, particularly in terms of disruptive behavior. In your role, you must overcome these behaviors to effectively counsel clients. For this Discussion, as you examine the Disruptive Behaviors media in this week’s Learning Resources, consider how you might assess and treat adolescent clients presenting with disruptive behavior.
Learning Objectives
Students will:
Assess clients presenting with disruptive behavior
Analyze therapeutic approaches for treating clients presenting with disruptive behavior
Evaluate outcomes for clients presenting with disruptive behavior
Post an explanation of your observations of the client in the case study you selected, including behaviors that align to the criteria in DSM-5. Then, explain therapeutic approaches you might use with this client, including psychotropic medications if appropriate. Finally, explain expected outcomes for the client based on these therapeutic approaches. Support your approach with evidence-based literature.
Search Engines & Databases
What search engines or databases are you using to identify the articles for your Weekly Article Summary assignment? What key words are you using for your search? Have they been effective in finding articles that are relevant to your clinical practice? Include rationale.
Submission Instructions:
Your initial post should be at least 500 words, formatted and cited in current APA style with support from at least 2 academic sources.

Discussion
100 word positive post with three references due 07/29/20 at noon,"The SDLC is crucial to the outcomes of the software and systems in use in a health care facility. The use of the software is dependent on its users and their preparedness, as well as their capabilities. Failing to involve nurses in the SDLC, yet they are the target end-users of the system amounts to a design and project management failure (McMurtrey, 2013). It leads to an increased level of user frustration, possible resistance in the adoption of the new system, and limited functionality due to the resulting distress.
Nurses are experts in the field of patient care, and if a technology is to have positive effects on patient care, then the technologists implementing it must involve nurses in the process of developing it (Kaipio et al., 2020). The reason for involving the nurses is to facilitate a smooth transition from the deployment to the training of users and eventually to the transformation of the organization because of the new system. Apart from increasing the buy-in for the new development, the approach will also allow nurses to have input into the development process. As with many projects, change requests that come early before the commencement of tasks that are critical to the project might be easier to incorporate. Failing to involve nurses would mean that the developers lack insights into the types of routines the nurses have in their patient, caring jobs (Restuccia et al., 2012). These routines and the philosophy behind them affect the manner of working with technology, the need for information, and the collaboration demands and opportunities in the workplace.
It is vital to map the work processes of the nurse in the legacy system and the technology-enhanced system. The mapping must happen in tandem with the designing process. The leading manager in the SDLC should ensure that the details of all users are the ones used for the design process (McLean et al., 2015). Getting firsthand information and possible trials in the real world make better data for decision making than projects that might rely on wrong assumptions. The involvement of nurses should improve organization learning during the implementation and when using the new program or system.
A specific example showing nurse involvement in the SDLC was in the introduction of the bar-code system in a midsized hospital where I worked. The first part of the implementation was to offer an overview of the system and its benefits to the organization. After that, the organization organized forums and allocated times for attendance for all staff, away from regular work. The forums worked like tutorials and question and answer sessions as well as discussion avenues about the new system. The implementing team learned of people’s fears, the problems with the current system, and the challenges users expected. They also learned of new concerns arising because of the design and the management expectations of the bar-coding infrastructure.
Being involved in the process to offer suggestions and to vote of features to include or leave out, as well as when to include them in the system, was an essential step in staff involvement. Most of the staff members ended up anticipating the completion of the project, and they were eager to try new features when they became live. The increased communication also leads to a faster turnaround for the challenges that emerged and were reported by the participating employees. It was also easy to prioritize the changes and the raised issues based on the earlier voted order of priority of user issues in the project.
