Quantitative and Qualitative

This week we learned how research designs are different and help us to objectively study nursing problems; the key is to decide which type of research and design will serve the purpose or intent to find a solution. After completing Week 4 readings and lesson, answer the following:

  • Reflect on your learning about Quantitative and Qualitative research; share two ways that helped you understand how they are different.
  • Choose one category of study design that you found interesting and describe; include what you learned about the design and how you believe it can help study nursing problems.
  • Refer back to your clinical nursing priority problem and evidence you located for your week 3 assignment:
    • The nursing-evidenced practice (NEBP) committee has requested for you to make a recommendation to the team: Describe the type of research and the design that you believe would be the best way to study your problem. Discuss your rationale.

Lesson 01 Employment Law Assignment WAS public private sector employer

/in /by

Lesson 01: Assignment

Please respond to each question set in the order in which it appears below, inserting the number of the question as a heading or in the first line of the response to that set.

QUESTION SET ONE

Well Again Services (WAS) is a nonunion employer that provides both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation services at various locations in Iowa. It has an opening for an HR specialist position in its Des Moines office. You’ve applied for that position and are now getting ready for a video interview where you want to demonstrate your knowledge about labor and employment law.

In light of the Lesson 1 course reading:

  1. What factors would determine whether WAS is a public or private sector employer?
  2. Describe the impact of being a public-sector versus a private-sector employer in terms of labor and employment law. Be specific, and give some examples of laws that relate to this issue.
  3. Would the size of WAS affect its labor and employment obligations?
  4. If so, describe the impact of employer size in this context. Be specific, and give examples of some laws that relate to this issue.
  5. Could its Iowa location impact WAS’s labor and employment obligations? If so, in what way?
  6. What might you need to know to answer that question more specifically?
  7. What other factors might impact which labor and employment laws apply to WAS?

QUESTION SET TWO

Good news. You got the job and have been asked to assess the following situation: Last week, Molly, a manager in WAS’s Cedar Rapids facility, fired Emir, a physical therapist, for alleged excessive absenteeism. Today WAS received a letter from Emir’s attorney alleging that Emir was wrongfully discharged and that the true reason for termination was his complaint to the WAS Board of Directors about an unlawful pain medication practice at the Cedar Rapids facility. According to the attorney, Molly fired Emir because he told the Board that a supervisor was collecting prescription pain medications left behind by patients who had been discharged (or who died while in care) and making those medications available to other patients. Salvatore, the Vice President of Human Resources, has asked you to analyze Emir’s wrongful discharge claim by way of an IRAC memo.

Your HR colleagues have since explained that IRAC is an acronym that stands for “Issues, Rule, Application (or Analysis) and Conclusion.” So, your memo (and this Lesson 1 assignment) should:

  1. First, identify the narrow Issue(s) identified in the Molly/Emir fact pattern.
  2. Second, identify and describe the Rule or test the court’s use to analyze such issues. To receive points for this part of the question, you must reference a case in the course reading in which the rule/test was applied. Be sure to identify the case by its full name, and give the page on which it appears in the course reading.
  3. Third, discuss how the court Applied the rule to the salient or most important facts in that case (the court’s Analysis.)
  4. Finally, analyze our fact pattern, i.e., apply the rule to our fact pattern and describe the Conclusion that you anticipate a court would reach based on the law and our facts.
  5. If additional information would be helpful to your analysis, explain how and why it would impact the analysis.

QUESTION SET THREE

Before you have a chance to finish your IRAC memo, WAS is served with a complaint that Emir and his attorney have filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. In addition to asserting that he was wrongfully discharged based on public policy, Emir alleges that he was fired in part because of his national origin in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Salvatore, the HR Vice President, demands that you immediately contact legal counsel to get the case dismissed based on the company’s mandatory arbitration policy, which bars employees from submitting any employment-related claims to any court. Salvatore also wants to know the maximum relief that could be awarded to Emir pursuant to his Title VII claim.

  1. What do you and legal counsel need to know about the WAS arbitration policy in order to assess to what extent it could bar this federal court complaint?
  2. What specific features in that policy would make it more likely to be enforceable here?
  3. What factors would tend to have the opposite effect?
  4. Assuming that WAS has over 500 employees, describe the relief that the court could award Emir pursuant to Title VII.

Response Planning

/in /by

In this assignment you are addressing how to create a media communication plan for the response phase.

Put yourself in the role of an emergency manager who is doing initial work on response plans for the type of critical incident shown in the Riverbend City scenario— a man-made accident. You are the Riverbend City media liaison tasked with helping the following groups create media plans for the response phase of an emergency:

  • Emergency and government managers.
  • First responders.
  • Business leaders.
  • Heads of families or households
  • Personnel in charge of or dealing with special needs groups such as the elderly, non-English speaking people, children, et cetera.

FEMA recently put a lot of attention on core capabilities directly related to the response phase of an emergency. In your position as media liaison, prepare an example press release that addresses a summary of the specific core capabilities.

Your purpose is to introduce the target audience to what goes into a well-rounded media communication during the response phase. Use your personal and professional experiences, your readings, as well as situations you have seen in the Riverbend City scenario that would lend themselves to planning media communication during the response phase. Be sure to cite your resources.

In your press release:

  1. Provide summaries of the following core capabilities directly related to the response phase:
    • Public information and warning.
    • Situational assessment.
    • On-scene security, protection, and law enforcement.
    • Critical transportation.
  2. Develop one example, using the train derailment/chemical spill as your context, that illustrates each of the four core capabilities (public information and warning; situational assessment; on-scene security, protection, and law enforcement; and critical transportation).
  3. Create a plan for implementing one of the response measures you have identified.

Requirements

The press release should be 3–4 pages, not including a title page and the references page(s).

the capital punishment of the dog Provetie

/in /by

After reading about “the capital punishment of the dog Provetie” respond to any one of the following questions: ( CHOOSE ONE ONLY. 50 WORD)

1. What is strange about the court’s treatment of Provetie? How does it differ from the commonplace practice of punishing dogs? Don’t people commonly punish dogs to change their behavior? Is this case really any different? (At least Provetie had due process of law!)

2. Was Provetie morally responsible for its action? Why or why not? Suppose Provetie’s human owner had bit the child instead. Would the owner be responsible? Would he be more or less responsible than Provetie was? Why?

3. Could the execution of Provetie be justified on the grounds of social protection? Is the court’s interest in deterring bad behavior of other dogs justification enough for the hanging of Provetie?

4. When (if ever) would you consider a human criminal defendant to be not responsible for his or her acts? Under what circumstances?
