Reflection Assignment #3: Meeting Essential III

This week, reflect on your perception of healthcare delivery models and the nurse’s role in public health programs as it has evolved over the course of your RN-BSN program at WCU. Identify specific healthcare delivery models you support, and compare and contrast public health programs you are familiar with. How does your academic work support evidence of meeting the following?

Essential III: Scholarship for Evidence-Based Practice

  • Outcome #2: Demonstrate an understanding of the basic elements of the research process and models for applying evidence to clinical practice.
  • Outcome #5: Participate in the process of retrieval, appraisal, and synthesis of evidence in collaboration with other members of the healthcare team to improve patient outcomes.
  • Outcome #6: Integrate evidence, clinical judgment, interprofessional perspectives, and patient preferences in planning, implementing, and evaluating outcomes of care.
  • Outcome #7: Collaborate in the collection, documentation, and dissemination of evidence.

Review your past academic work, evaluate your effectiveness at meeting this program essential, and ponder the impact that this proficiency will have on your future.

Identify how you met the essential by referring to the assignment(s) specifically in your response. Additionally, reflect on and make connections between your academic experience and real-world applications.

Showcase your academic work related to this essential and these outcomes in your ePortfolio and directly reference it in your reflection response.

Recommended: Refer to work you completed for NURS 561 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention and NURS 350 Research in Nursing, as well as other courses, to gather academic examples and evidence of having met this essential.

Your reflection should be 1-1/2 to 2 pages, and APA formatted. Reference and cite any sources you use

* Use NURS 561 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention assignment attached about drug use and misuse (in the research performed to gather the information) , and NURS 350 Research in Nursing in the importance of research in the nursing process

  • Review past course work that supports this Essential and related outcomes. A good reference point is to look back at NURS Use NURS 561 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention and NURS 350 Research in Nursing (a paper, a journal entry, an activity, a discussion, etc).
  • THEN directly reference the TITLE of those assignments, provide 2-3 sentences with the knowledge you gained from it. THEN provide 3-4 sentences of how this knowledge was applied in your own nursing practice. This is your ‘evidence’ of HOW you met this Essential. Do NOT give a full explanation from your original paper to avoid duplication of information. NO copy and paste. (just a quick reflective lookback is all that is needed)
  • Need title and reference page just as you would for any other paper. BE sure to cite your own paper as the ‘author’ in the ‘References’ if you are directly citing a part of your paper.

Can you do three activities ?)I will posted the instructions.

Activity CAPSTONE (1)

Create a 9 month plan on how to increase literacy scores.Do not forget to incorporate special education and ELLs. The key is to focus on one thing you want to improve and create a monthly plan on how your teachers, students and parents will play a role in this plan. And ,what is the gool?

Activity(2)

Which department (Special Ed or Bilingual) should pay for expenses of the testing materials as well as the time needed for testing if the student is considered both ESL and Special Ed.? Share your thoughts and why.

Activity(3)

Read the case study “7-6 Placement in the Gifted Program?” “. Share your thoughts . And ,writ the action plan.

7-6. PLACEMENT IN THE GIFTED PROGRAM? (ISLLC STANDARD 3) You are a new principal of an elementary school, and your year has been going quite well. The faculty, students, and parents all like you and your leadership style. Unfortu nately, one of the board members, Arlene McDougal, has been making negative com— ments about your school. She doesn’t like the traffic congestion at dismissal time, and she keeps bringing that up at board meetings. You are aware of the traffic problem and have been working with the police de partment to come up with a solution. Unfortunately, the layout of the streets prevents any radical changes. The police agree that the current traffic plan is the best that anyone can do. The traffic problems are short-lived, and the neighbors know to avoid the school at dismissal time. Even though you have explained this to the board of education, Arlene continues to make negative comments at the board meetings. At a recent meeting, when Arlene started to complain about the traffic problems at your school and that you’re doing nothing to solve them, she even suggested that per haps the board has hired the wrong principal if you can’t solve problems like this. At this point, another board member, Bob Murphy, spoke in your defense. His comments quieted Arlene, as other board members agreed with him. The next morning you sent an e-mail to Bob thanking him for his support. Later that day, your gifted education teacher comes to you with a problem. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Murphy requested that their son be considered for the fifth-grade gifted program. The criteria for admission to the program include standardized test scores, teacher recommendation, parental recommendation, and straight A’s in all subjects. The Murphy child met all the criteria except the standardized test scores. The minimum is the 90th percentile, and young Murphy scored in the 85th percentile. The teacher explains that because he is the son of a board member, she thought it wise to bring this to your attention. There are 20 students who met the criteria and the gifted class size limit is 20. To complicate matters, there are five other students who scored at the 85th percentile. If you make an exception for young Murphy, you’d have to make an exception for five other children, thereby raising the gifted class size to 26. Obviously, this is way beyond the limit for the gifted class, but not enough to run two gifted classes. If it were anyone else, you could explain that the child didn’t meet the criteria, but knowing that Bob Murphy has supported you complicates matters. If it weren’t for Bob, you could be looking for a new job. In the past, the superintendent had been the victim of Arlene’s verbal attacks, and now he is reluctant to challenge her. He obviously is afraid of her ability to influence the other board members, and he is not going to put his job on the line to protect yours. You are not sure how Bob will handle the news that his son did not qualify for the gifted program. What should you do? Develop a bulleted action plan aligned with ISLLC Standard 3: An education leader promotes the success of every student by ensuring management of the organization, operation, and resources for a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment.

history of rock n’ roll

/in /by

write no less than 150 words for each question

question 1

Love or Theft?: Considering the lectures in this unit, where do you stand on the issue of musical appropriation? Is is an act of love, theft, or somewhere in between?

question 2

Radio and Race: How may have the newly-founded all-black radio formats of the late 1940s and early 1950s altered the way people of different races listen to music within a segregated society?

question 3

For this topic, select one of the musical examples presented in this unit and write one to two paragraphs discussing what you found particularly musically effective about the performance.

Your response should address some or all of the following questions (to the best of your abilities):

  • What instruments are used in this song?
  • What are some of the most clear sonic characteristics of the song? (i.e. form, timbre, singing style, vocal harmonies, unusual instruments, etc.;
  • How do these sounds relate to the genres that came before it?
  • Why is this song relevant to the lecture/unit?
  • Why did you chose this particular song? What made it stand out for you?

Include the name of the song, the performer and in which lecture the performance appears at the top of your post. Below is a sample post to give you some idea of what your post should look like:

“See That My Grave is Kept Clean” – Blind Lemon Jefferson (from “That Old Southern Sound”)

This song from the late-1920s features only Blind Lemon Jefferson singing and playing acoustic guitar. The song sounds kind of like a 12-bar blues form, but it may be slightly different (I think it is 16-bars?). BLJ seems to play around with the rhythm and tempo a bit as well (I thought this was really cool and a bit unexpected). This song sounds very different from the other blues we have heard so far; “Crazy Blues” or Jimmie Rodger’s “Blue Yodel.” CRAZY how much variety could be contained within a genre in such a short period of time! I chose to talk about this example because it makes it pretty clear that, while there was common ground between “hillbilly” recordings, urban and rural blues, there was also a lot of differences as well.

An Effective Training Evaluation Plan

/in /by

You have just learned that your company is looking for ways to cut back expenses. One of the cost cutting measures being considered is to terminate the training department, as the company considers this an expense and they do not believe training is contributing to the profitability of the company. As the head of the training department it is your job to defend the value of the department. You realize that well trained employees perform their jobs more efficiently and consequently can contribute to higher productivity and profits for the company. One way to show the value of training is to have tools that will allow a manager to track the performance of an employee both before and after they have received training.

  • Report
    Write a report that will be shared with senior management on why training is a very important part of the company’s overall financial success. Discuss the advantages of having well-trained employees.
  • Evaluation Tool
    Using what you have learned about transfer training and the evaluation of training programs create an evaluation tool which can be used to evaluate how effective any given employee training program is in terms of:
  • Increasing the level of transfer of knowledge (knowledge retention)
  • Monitoring the effectiveness of the skill performance in the job performance improvement
  • Include common attributes in your evaluation tool which could be applicable to most employees at the organization such as: employees showing concern for saving the company money or consistently turning in error free work. Your training tool should contain a minimum of 10 evaluation criteria.

Your training evaluation tool must be included with your report defending the value of the training department. You know that your report will be shared with senior level managers and eventually to the board of directors. However, you are uncertain whether or not you will be allowed to present your work at a later time or in a different manner. Therefore it is important that your report is well written and professional.

Report Details
The report should be 5-7 pages in length and include:

  • Executive Summary highlighting all the factors in the scenario.
  • Justification of the importance of retaining the training department in the company and explanation of how the training department is important to the overall success of the company.
  • Training Evaluation Tool to evaluate knowledge retention and job performance improvement (10 criteria minimum).
  • Explanation of how the evaluation tool will be implemented.
  • Describe how the evaluation tool will help evaluate the level of transfer of knowledge and skill performance for current training programs as well as, monitor and improve planning for future training effectiveness.
  • Summary and conclusion of tool’s effectiveness.

Domestic Climate Policy and Immigration Policy, law homework help

/in /by

This is a two part question

Question 1 – Domestic Climate Policy

Discuss how policy makers can incorporate the Domestic Climate Policy Framework into a widely accepted environmental policy. Provide examples. 

Question 2 – Immigration Policy

The American public has become increasingly accepting of immigration reform.  In addition to using social, legal, and political perspectives to argue for immigration reform, advocates for this policy assert that there are economic reasons for encouraging changes in America’s immigration policy.  Read the following articles, and watch the following video, and explain if promoting growth within certain sectors of the American economy is a good reason for the federal government to engage in immigration reform. 

Is there Jurisdiction?

/in /by

Look at the situations below and answer the question. Make sure to distinguish between subject matter and personal jurisdiction. Additionally, discuss the standard the court will use to determine whether jurisdiction exists.

Situation 1: Mike, a Utah resident, sues Jim, a Nevada resident for $60,000 in Nevada’s Federal District court for negligence (a state law civil suit). Jim argues that the case should be dismissed for a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Is he right?

Situation 2: Bill, a California resident, sues Bob, also a California resident, for copyright infringement, a cause of action arising under federal law, in a Federal District Court in California. Bob argues that there is no subject matter jurisdiction. Is he right?

Situation 3: Billy, a Seattle, Washington resident, sues the Orange Corporation, a Texas corporation, under a breach of contract (a state law cause of action) in Washington State Court for $100,000. The Orange Corporation does most of its business in Texas. It is incorporated in Texas, and its corporate Headquarters are located in Dallas, Texas. However, the Orange Corporation does have a branch office in Seattle, Washington where it employs a single salesman. Additionally, the corporation advertises in the Seattle. The corporation argues that Washington lacks personal jurisdiction over the corporation. Is the corporation right? Assume for this question that Washington may exercise personal jurisdiction to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States. Be sure to list the standard the court will apply.

Situation 4: Same facts as above. Assume the court finds there is personal jurisdiction. Can the Orange Corporation have the case removed to federal court?

The PICOT statement

/in /by

The first step of the EBP process is to develop a question from the nursing practice problem of interest.

Select a practice problem of interest to use as the focus of your research.

Start with the patient and identify the clinical problems or issues that arise from clinical care.

Following the PICOT format, write a PICOT statement in your selected practice problem area of interest, which is applicable to your proposed capstone project.

The PICOT statement will provide a framework for your capstone project (the project students must complete during their final course in the RN-BSN program of study).

Conduct a literature search to locate research articles focused on your selected practice problem of interest. This literature search should include both quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed research articles to support your practice problem.

Select six peer-reviewed research articles which will be utilized through the next 5 weeks as reference sources. Be sure that some of the articles use qualitative research and that some use quantitative research. Create a reference list in which the six articles are listed. Beneath each reference include the article’s abstract. The completed assignment should have a title page and a reference list with abstracts.

Suggestions for locating qualitative and quantitative research articles from credible sources:

  1. Use a library database such as CINAHL Complete for your search.
  2. Using the advanced search page check the box beside “Research Article” in the “Limit Your Results” section.
  3. When setting up the search you can type your topic in the top box, then add quantitative or qualitative as a search term in one of the lower boxes. Research articles often are described as qualitative or quantitative.

To narrow/broaden your search, remove the words qualitative and quantitative and include words that narrow or broaden your main topic. For example: Diabetes and pediatric and dialysis. To determine what research design was used, review the abstract and the methods section of the article. The author will provide a description of data collection using qualitative or quantitative methods.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are not required to submit this assignment to Turnitin.

D7 leader

/in /by

In our textbook, it is mentioned that the gender gap in leadership is a global phenomenon whereby women are disproportionately concentrated in lower-level and lower-authority leadership positions than men (Powell & Graves, 2003 as cited in Northouse, 2022, p. 395).

The explanation that Northouse offers for this gap lies in his Leadership Labyrinth (Figure 14.1) below (Northouse, 2022, p. 395):

Source: Northouse, P. G. (2022). Leadership: Theory and practice (9th ed., pp. 395). Sage Publications.

After carefully examining at the Leadership Labyrinth image and evaluating it, think about different leadership styles and their effectiveness. Then, do the following:

  1. Explain how men and women, in leadership positions, use these skills and traits to make decisions and encourage follower-loyalty.
  2. Evaluate if men and women use the skills and traits in the same manner.
  3. Select two countries and analyze if culture plays a role in the way men and women practice their leadership style and their effectiveness.

Embed course material concepts, principles, and theories (including supporting citations) along with at least two current, scholarly, peer-reviewed journal articles. You may find that your discussion of leadership characteristics is easily supported with such current scholarly research, while the information about how your chosen leader exhibits those leadership characteristics is supported by popular research.

Keep in mind that current scholarly references can be found in the Saudi Digital Library by conducting an advanced search. Current research means published in the last five years.

Imposing Values on Clients

/in /by

Assignment 3: Case Study: Imposing Values on Clients

Read the Course Case Study and analyze the behavior of the counselor, as a professional, which you consider unethical or unprofessional. Write a brief summary of the unbecoming behavior. Substantiate the summary with reasons for your analysis.  

Then, examine the influence of your own personal values as it relates to the issues presented in the case. Write a brief summary of how your own personal values could influence you if you were the counselor in the case study.

Next, focusing specifically on the issue of imposing values on clients, identify how the counselor may have been in violation of the ACA Code of Ethics. Give the number and definition of specific violations and compare these violations to the APA ethical standards. Remember – only list those which are related to the imposition of the counselor’s value system onto the client.

Finally, in relation to these specific violations, describe the similarities or differences in the ACA and APA ethical code. Your paper should be at least 4 pages, not counting the title page and the reference page.

Submit your response to the M1: Assignment 3 Dropbox by Wednesday, September 4, 2013.
