I want to take this opportunity to discuss our new granted privilege to prescribe controlled substance. There are five classes of substance considered under the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970 (Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, 2019).

Image result for controlled substances act

The privilege for Nurse Practitioners(NPs) to prescribe controlled substance was legally approved in Florida, the last state to grant such a privilege for midlevel practitioners, in 2017( Kellangs & Maye, 2017).  Once licensed as Florida NP, you will need 2 hours of controlled substance prescription CEUs and to apply for the DEA license. The application cost $ 731 and it’s valid for three years. NPs are required to have a controlled substance agreement with the supervising physician.

Do you think the ability to prescribe controlled substance benefits the Nurse Practitioners practice? Why or why not?

Midterm exam
 
Question #1 (100 points)
You are planning to open a new bakery in a medium size town of about 200,000 people in the
US. Your bakery will be 100% organic. It will be the first organic bakery in town (there are no
organic super markets in the town, although some super markets offer selective organic
products but no organic baked goods or desserts). You will be offering organic as well as gluten
-free bread, bread-related ingredients, pies, muffins, doughnuts, and other types of desserts.
Given that organic ingredients are more expensive your prices are going to be about 20%
higher than your competitors’ prices. You have limited resources and you cannot afford to spend
a lot of money in traditional promotional methods. Instead, you need to utilize social media to
create awareness among your target audience.
1.1 Identify your target market(s)
1.2 What is the key positioning of your bakery relative to the competition? Describe a desirable
brand image that the bakery should pursue. You should also come up with a name for the
bakery that captures the brand image,
1.3 You want to generate as much publicity as possible for your grand opening. How are you
going to utilize the social media to maximize exposure and attendance? Provide a detailed
list of the social media you will use, as well as how you will use them. For example, if you
decided to use Twitter, then you should provide a sample tweet message. Listing all
possible social media is not a good answer. You may list several, but I would like to see how
you will rank the ones you will use based on their importance for this particular situation.
1.4 In addition, you want your social media strategy to generate long-term interest for your
bakery beyond the grand opening. Provide a detailed list of the social media you will use, as
well as how you will use them. Listing all possible social media is not a good answer. You
may list several, but I would like to see how you will rank the ones you will use based on
their importance for this particular situation. Keep in mind that some of the social media may
be ranked higher for generating “buzz” for the opening, but may be ranked lower in terms of
their role for generating long-term interest for the bakery.
1.5 Describe the key elements of the web site to maximize awareness, attendance to the grand
opening, and long-term interest.
1.6 Explain the role of listening and the main component of listening you will use to monitor and
improve the online brand of the organization. Make sure to support your responses.
Grading Rubric
1.1 (10 points) The points will be given based on how accurately and detailed the description of

Note-taking

DO NOT simply cut and paste quotations from the text to fulfill the requirements for taking notes for each subsection. You will not get any grade for doing this as this does not demonstrate your understanding. It only indicates that you can select quotations. Only use quotations in the manner indicated below, where the writers use particularly evocative language.

First contact

Scan the document

You will understand more if you  quickly scan the chapter. Read the questions that start the chapter, the writers’ objectives for the chapter (under the heading “In this chapter we”) and the conclusion. By reading these parts of the chapter you will understand the writers’ aims. You now have a map of the chapter that will help focus your thinking and evaluate what you are reading.

Identify the main focus of the chapter

In two or three sentences explain clearly what is the main claim that the writer is trying to make in the chapter and how it seems to contribute to the objectives laid out in the overall introduction to the book.

Focus on the claims and examples made under each subheading

Examine the subheadings the writers use as these will help you focus on the way in which the writers build the argument. Write each of the subheadings down.  Read each section of the text under the subheadings and make the following notes

  • In one sentence identify the main claim being made in the subsection
  • When the writers use an illustrative example in a subsection, in one or two sentences explain what the example is and what it is being used to illustrate
  • If you find a quotation that you want to remember write Quotations I Wish to Remember and write the quotation including the page number

Apply your own lens to the content
Select something from the chapter that you found particularly evocative. Perhaps you found something particularly interesting, problematic, true or counter to your experience, true or counter to something you encountered in another class. Write a short paragraph of three or four sentences explaining what was evoked by reading this part of the text. Ensure that it is clear which part of the text you are referring to.
Ask questions of the content
In their book The miniature guide to the art of asking essential questions, Richard Paul and Linda Elder explain that questions are a fundamentally important part of our education. Asking questions generates greater understanding. They argue that if the reader is not asking questions of a text they are not really engaged in substantive learning. You are required to ask questions of each chapter using the following headings.

  • Clarifying Question(s)
    • If there is something that you do not understand, under the heading
  • Conceptual Questions
    • Writers use concepts. Concepts are ideas that are less concrete. They are ideas we use in thinking. They provide people to create a mental map of the world. Through concepts we define situations and define our relationships to the world around us. This will become particularly clear after we read Chapter One of your textbook and so I will add to this definition after we read that chapter.

Current Topics in Nursing Informatics

Each student in this course possesses a unique background and skill set. Drawing from your own career and experiences, identify a current information-technology-related problem or opportunity for improvement. 

  • Explain the scope of the problem using both anecdotal and evidentiary information to “build your case” 
  • Once you have identified and explained the problem, propose a solution or series of steps to be taken in order to improve the situation
  • Your recommendations for improvement may include design and utilization of new technology or perhaps upgrades to that which already exists
  • Be creative in your approach
  • Explain how the changes will benefit nursing and improve patient outcomes
  • Topics for discussion may include (but are not limited to): legal ramifications of information technology/systems, ethical considerations in information technology, redundancy in documentation, ease of use and navigation in chosen operating system, or the use of data to improve health outcomes
  • Approach this assignment as though you are the advanced-practice informatics nurse responsible for convincing others that a change is needed and then moving forward with planning, implementation, and evaluation of the project

Use language that reflects the proper use of grammar, punctuation, spelling, and word choice. Make sure the paper is well organized, using headings throughout to guide the reader.
