week dis 5 Considering the heightened importance of evidence-based practice in healthcare settings, writing homework help

/in /by

Please do a paragraph about this post with this instruction .

post most have 4 or more sentences .

you also have to have a high quality post from a content perspective. This means it also needs to do more than agree with or praise a class mate. If you agree with a classmate, explain why, give an example, share what you learned in the reading

Considering the heightened importance of evidence-based practice in healthcare settings, incorporating evidence-based practice into the nursing curriculum, especially in baccalaureate programs is essential because this is a first step to prepare students for their professional role as an RN, and the undergraduate nursing students are the ones who will spend the most time with patients at their bedside providing direct care” (Martin, 2011). Another essential component of EBP integration into practice is that new graduates are more passionate and interested in changing or improving current practice skills and techniques and have fresh eyes to see what is not working or what could be improved upon. Older nurses who have been working for a while may have seen changes already and do not want to develop new ideas. Perhaps they felt in the past that the changes did not affect patient outcome and so decided to go back to the old ways. Perhaps the older nurse is too job tried to accept new changes and are not comfortable with the new way of doing things. As a new graduate, it is our responsibility and role to implement these changes if the evidence points to patient benefits and lower cost reduction to the health care facility. There are many ways of facilitating changes but testing out the culture and climate of the unit is very important and making sure the majority of the staff will buy into the changes. You can present all the evidence in the world but if you staff is not willing or nervous about the changes, the EBP project will not go far.

Novel Analysis Essay

/in /by

Write an 8 page paper on one of the broad topics below. Use the topic as a starting point for
developing a clear and focused argument (thesis) about two provided novels. (you can choose the 2 out of the 4 in the provided list below)* Support your
thesis with a mix of original literary analysis, and research. A minimum of 6 well-chosen (read: scholarly and pertinent) secondary sources are required. Please cite all
sources properly (both in the body of the essay and in a Works Cited) using the MLA method of
documentation. Define key terms clearly. Consider the similarities and differences between your
texts.

***Please proofread your work carefully as the work has to be free of ANY grammatical mistakes and sentence/punctuation errors because the work is to be submitted as a major English course assignment. Be sure to meet the modest length requirements.

Make sure you use a lot of quotes and paraphrases from the novels of your choice to back up the analysis. So every paragraph should have at least two citations in it as back up: either from the novels or from the research sources.

Do include the topic you have selected in the chat so I know the correspondence with your writing.

  1. In The Rise of the Novel, Ian Watt argues that formal realism is the defining characteristic
    of the novel as a form. Discuss this idea with reference to two course texts. Do you agree
    with Watt’s thesis and with his definition of realism? Advance a clear argument about
    how realism operates in two texts and what the implications are.
  2. Three of our fall term novels are named after their protagonists. Compare and contrast
    two of the eponymous characters in order to make an argument about the way that the
    early novels focus on and depict the experiences of individuals.
  3. Make an argument about the role that narration plays in two novels. Clearly describe and
    closely analyze the manner of narration, and consider why the novelists chose to narrate
    the stories as they did. Consider also: how does the manner of narration affect the
    reader’s experience of the book?
  4. Compare the representation of gender (masculinity and/or femininity) in two novels.
  5. Analyze the settings of two novels and discuss the role and function of the settings.
  6. Compare the endings of two novels. How do the novelists resolve their plots? Is full
    closure achieved? How important is the ending (whether happy or tragic) to the meaning
    of the story overall? Close readings of final pages, paragraphs, or sentences are welcome.
    (N.b., Tom Jones is an eligible text for this question only if you finished reading the
    entire novel on your own.)
  7. Analyze how two novels borrow from narrative forms that pre-date the emergence of the
    18th-century novel (e.g., epics, chivalric romances, spiritual autobiographies, travel
    narratives, etc.).
  8. In the eighteenth century, it was believed that literature should not merely entertain; it
    should also educate and inculcate morals. Discuss the didacticism found in two novels.
  9. The novel “rose” simultaneously with the rise of the middle-class reading audience.
    Social class is an important theme in the early novels. Analyze the way that characters
    belonging to particular social classes are represented in two novels.

Novels Choice:

Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe (Oxford World’s Classics)

Samuel Richardson, Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded (Oxford World’s Classics)

Henry Fielding, Tom Jones (Oxford World’s Classics)

Horace Walpole, The Castle of Otranto (Oxford World’s Classics)

NO OUTSIDE RESOURCES

“Racism in the Civil War North” Please respond to the following with a minimum of 200 words and be sure to comment on a classmate’s post with a minimum of 150 words. NO OUTSIDE SOURCES; NO OPINIONS!

BASE YOUR DISCUSSION ON THE WEBTEXT AND COURSE MATERIALS AND ONLY USE AN OUTSIDE SOURCE SUPPLEMENTALLY AND IDENTIFY IT IN YOUR POST AND COMMENT

After Lincoln officially announced the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863, the Civil War enveloped a two-fold purpose: fighting for reuniting the Union, and prohibiting slavery in captured confederate territory. This action set off a chain reaction that led to draft riots, which demonstrated Northern racism and casualties between blacks and whites. Go to Section 2 of this week’s Webtext titled “Why the North Won”, and view the resources provided for the section discussing the New York City Draft Riots. Next explain three (3) ways that these riots supported the ‘myth’ of the anti-racist liberals of the North and the difficulties facing free African Americans.

Be sure to include which Union states held slaves throughout the Civil War and why this was an ongoing problem for Lincoln and the Union.

Creating a Flowchart

/in /by

Understanding Workflow Design

As you explored last week, the implementation of a new technology can dramatically affect the workflow of an organization. Newly implemented technologies can initially limit the productivity of users as they adjust to their new tools. Such implementations tend to be so significant that they often require workflows to be redesigned in order to achieve improvements in safety and patient outcomes. However, before workflows can be redesigned, they must first be analyzed. This analysis includes each step in completing a certain process. Some systems duplicate efforts or contain unnecessary steps that waste time and money and could even jeopardize patient health care. By reviewing and modifying the workflow, you enable greater productivity. This drive to implement new technologies has elevated the demand for nurses who can perform workflow analysis.

Assignment: Creating a Flowchart

Workflow analysis aims to determine workflow patterns that maximize the effective use of resources and minimize activities that do not add value. There are a variety of tools that can be used to analyze the workflow of processes and clarify potential avenues for eliminating waste. Flowcharts are a basic and commonly used workflow analysis method that can help highlight areas in need of streamlining.

In this Assignment, you select a common event that occurs regularly in your organization and create a flowchart representing the workflow. You analyze the process you have diagrammed and propose changes for improvement.

To prepare:

  • Identify a common, simple event that frequently occurs in your organization that you would like to evaluate.
  • Consider how you would design a flowchart to represent the current workflow.
  • Consider what metrics you would use to determine the effectiveness of the current workflow and identify areas of waste.

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper which includes the following:

  • Create a simple flowchart of the activity you selected. (Review the Sample Workflow of Answering a Telephone in an Office document found in this week’s Learning Resources for an example.)
  • Next, in your paper:
    • Explain the process you have diagrammed.
    • For each step or decision point in the process, identify the following:
      • Who does this step? (It can be several people.)
      • What technology is used?
      • What policies and rules are involved in determining how, when, why, or where the step is executed?
      • What information is needed for the execution of this step?
    • Describe the metric that is currently used to measure the soundness of the workflow. Is it effective?
    • Describe any areas where improvements could occur and propose changes that could bring about these improvements in the workflow.
    • Summarize why it is important to be aware of the flow of an activity.
  • Remember to include a cover page, introduction, and summary for your paper.

By Day 7 of Week 8

Submit the Assignment.

Note: This paper will serve as the Portfolio Assignment for the course.
