Preparing for the Negotiation SLP, management homework help

/in /by

Your informal conference with OSHA is scheduled for tomorrow. Again, $14,000 is a lot of money for your small electrical company. You have heard stories about the OSHA Area Director, indicating she is a hard-lined negotiator, and stories that she is very easy to work with if you stick to the facts and demonstrate your commitment to safety. You have also heard that she does not take kindly to disrespect (and that your foreman may have been rude with OSHA’s Compliance Officer), and that generally speaking, the average respectful contractor gets a 40- to 45% penalty reduction as a result of attending an informal conference; and $7,700 is a lot better price to pay than $14,000.

Ideally, you would like to see the first two citations withdrawn (open elevator shaft and grounding prong that was removed from the extension cord). That would decrease your penalty by almost 2/3. Of course, the argument that your company leadership could not have known about the bad cord is weak, because the foreman has not been filling out his extension cord checklist consistently (and did not on the day of the inspection… or the two weeks preceding the inspection).

Sometimes the Area Director is willing to just reduce the penalty on citations, even if they are not withdrawn, especially if the employer can demonstrate good faith with respect to his or her regard for providing a safe workplace. Settling the case is in her interest because the employer (you in this case) could legally contest the citations. The case would then become a legal matter to be heard by an administrative law judge; many of whom have been known to vacate any citations that are not “Iron-clad,” so to speak. The hearing would also tie up her Compliance Officer, and the time and resources of OSHA’s attorneys for what they would deem to be a very trivial case.

So contesting the citations is another option for you. But then, of course, you will end up having to pay a considerable amount of money to your attorneys. The judge’s decision combined with the attorney fees could end up costing much more than $14,000, even if you end up with a favorable decision. But you do have that card and the Area Director knows it.

Based on your readings and the materials presented for your SLP in the first 3 modules, discuss the importance of creating range and alternatives in preparing for such a negotiation.

Facility Design

Operations managers must be concerned with more than final outcomes (the final product or service delivered). They must be involved in determining the processes used to develop and create the final product and how they can be created or manufactured within the current capacities of the organization.

Successful organizations appear complex because they are made up of a multitude of different departments with each having a specific responsibility in the creation and delivery of the final product or service.

For this question you will need to conduct research on capacity and facilities before you can prepare a complete response to the questions asked. Start this research by reviewing the Web Field Trip resources below.

Telenursing: Is it in my future? Health and medical homework help

/in /by

Purpose

The purpose of this assignment is to explore the specialty
of telehealth, and more specifically telenursing, as one example of the use of
technology in various practice settings. Advantages and disadvantages for the
patient and legal and ethical principles for the nurse of this technology will
be explored.

Background

Our text (Hebda, 2013) provides us with a broad perspective
on telehealth. However, the specialty of telenursing is only briefly discussed.
Healthcare is readily embracing any technology to improve patient outcomes,
streamline operations, and lower costs. This technology includes the use of
various applications based in various environments where registered nurses
indirectly provide professional nursing care.

Scenario

The following scenario serves as the basis for your paper.

You have worked with Tomika for the past 5 years. Tomika
shares with you that she has resigned and plans to work in an agency that
installs telemonitoring equipment into the homes of those with chronic
illnesses. Nurses monitor the patients using the equipment with the goal of
detecting problems before patients need to be readmitted to the hospital.
Tomika will be working from her own home, with occasional meetings at the
agency. She would not be visiting her patients in their homes, but rather would
be assessing and interacting with them via videoconferencing. She tells you
that there are still job openings and encourages you to apply.

You are intrigued by this, and decide to investigate whether
telenursing would be a good choice for you, too. Is telenursing in your future?

Directions

  1. You
    are to research (find evidence), compose, and type a scholarly paper that
    describes telenursing as described above, and whether it is a good fit for you.
    Reflect on what you have learned in this class to date about technology,
    privacy rights, ethical issues, interoperability, patient satisfaction,
    consumer education, and other topics. Your text by Hebda (2013, Chapter 25)
    discusses telehealth in detail. However, your focus should be from the
    professional nurse’s role in telenursing. Do not limit your review of the
    literature to only what you read in your text. Nurses in various specialties
    need to know about the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing as it
    applies to their patients. For example, when you discharge a patient from an
    acute care setting, will a telenursing service assist that individual with
    staying out of the hospital? You may need to apply critical-thinking skills to
    development of your paper. In the conclusion of your paper, describe your
    current employment situation, and whether a job in telenursing would, or would
    not, fit with your career goals and life situation once you graduate from
    Chamberlain.

  2. Use
    Microsoft Word and APA formatting to develop your paper. Consult the
    Publication manual of the APA, 6th edition if you have questions, for example,
    margin size, font type and size (point), use of third person, and so forth.
    Take advantage of the writing service, Smarthinking, which is accessed by
    clicking on the link called the Tutor Source, found under the Course Home area.
    Also, review and use the various documents in Doc Sharing related to APA.

  3. The
    length of the paper should be four to five pages, excluding the title page and
    the reference page. Limit your references to key sources.

  4. The
    paper should contain an introduction that catches the attention of the reader
    with interesting facts and supporting sources of evidence, which need to be mentioned
    as in-text citations. Keep in mind that APA guidelines state you are not to
    call this an Introduction, but you should include it at the beginning of your
    paper. The Body should present the advantages and disadvantages of telenursing
    from your perspective as an employee, and the patient’s perspective as a
    recipient of the care nurses provide. The Conclusion and Recommendations should
    summarize your findings and state your position on whether you will apply for a
    position with the agency.

System Admin

Max Points: 10.0

Review the following case study:

Chief Complaint:

A 23-year-old woman presents with complaints of muscle weakness in the face.

History:

The patient is a 23-year-old administrative assistant who complains of intermittent muscle weakness in her face that has been getting worse over the past 3 months. She also states that as she chews, her jaws feel tired. Swallowing has also become difficult. She reports episodes of double vision (diplopia), which seems to occur after reading for a few minutes in the late evening. With certain strenuous activities or after typing for long periods of time at work, she reports problems with bilateral arm weakness.

Physical Examination:

Notable ptosis (drooping) of the eyelids after repeated blinking exercises. When asked to smile, she appears to be snarling. Reflexes and sensation are normal in both upper and lower extremities. There is considerable weakness of the arms noted bilaterally after exercise.

Case Questions:

  1. Is the patient’s condition neurological, musculoskeletal, or both? Explain why and support your thoughts with evidence-based literature. What would be a possible neurologic or musculoskeletal condition causing the symptoms?
  2. Explain the pathophysiology behind the condition.
  3. What pharmacological agent(s) are commonly used to treat the disorder and how do the agent(s) alter the pathophysiology of the condition?
  4. What would be your educational plan for the patient?

The instructions for the project

Choose any work of art, including your own, that can be interpreted as artistic activism. Prepare a presentation of any type including visuals, audio, or live performance. You can do a demonstration or give a Power Point/Keynote presentation. You may also do a scrapbook, brochure, or newsletter, which does not require a full presentation. Due to the size of the class, presentations must be limited to 7 minutes. The length of the presentation should not determine the quality of your content. Your presentation is a summary of your research. A bibliography must be submitted with each project with research that includes 3 primary sources, if available, and at least 7 total sources. Include academic sources. General online sources without authors/editors are unacceptable. If you create your own work, your research must focus on the issue and inspiration. Do the same if your project is on an individual, researching the artist, musician, or writer. All projects must be submitted through Canvas by the due date to avoid receiving a grade of zero. File uploads need to be converted to Power Point or PDF format. Do not use Google Slides for upload. Prezi links are acceptable.

All must present on the scheduled date. A preliminary and final bibliography is required for all projects.
