Health is dynamic and determined by the determinants of health that have factors that can both benefit and hinder our overall health (Liamputtong, Fanany, & Verrinder, 2012, p. 9).

Question 1. Working as a team in the health department is not only critical, but should be considered a high priority. One of the important areas of team work is communication and the priority of keeping everyone on the same page. One of the areas that has been important in our office is cross-training. Having people help teach others in different areas of expertise has made us stronger as a team. One of my primary areas of inspections is with swimming pools. Many of the hotels have both swimming pools as well as serve a continental breakfast. I have been trained by other inspectors to oversee the food areas and the swimming pools at hotels.

Instead of being treated as mere research subjects, the community

In this paper I will discuss the session of Dr. Buckley along with his clients Aaron, Robyn and Michelle. SOAP is one of the notes that are used during a client treatment process.

Assessment information is when the counselor is trying to get a understanding the concern of the client. Plan is what the future treatment is going to be for the client. Quinn and Gordon (2003) suggest that the major advantage of the SOAP documentation format is it's widespread adoption, leading to general familiarity with the concept within the field of healthcare.
