Describe how nurse leaders use evidence-based practice to support and sustain patient-care outcomes.

Prepare for interprofessional stakeholders a 10–12-slide presentation (not including title and reference pages) explaining how nurse leaders can use information technology to improve nursing practices that support and sustain positive patient outcomes. You do not need to actually present your assessment but be sure to include speaker’s notes for each slide.

The dissemination of evidence-based practice outcomes helps nurses build stakeholder engagement and support for the use of information system and technology for health care delivery.

For this assessment, imagine a group of interprofessional stakeholders involved with patient care in your health care setting would like to increase positive patient outcomes. Nurse leaders have recommended changes in the practice that incorporate informatics and the application of new knowledge into your nursing practices.

You are asked to present a brief overview using PowerPoint (or some other presentation software) to a small group of student nurses. After the session has concluded, the training department would like to use your presentation as a training resource.

Preparation

Select a nursing practice in your own health care setting that has changed for the better since you first began nursing.

Directions

Use the tools in your presentation software to develop a creative and engaging presentation. Use the notes portion of PowerPoint to capture your narrative script for each slide. Include the following in your presentation:

  • Describe briefly an example of a nursing practice that has changed in the last two years.
  • Explain how theory development, research exploration, and information technology supports the changes you have described.
  • Describe the basic differences between research (qualitative and quantitative) and evidence-based practice (EBP).
  • Explain how nurse leaders use communication practices and technology to build interprofessional stakeholder engagements in support of the change you have identified.
  • Describe how nurse leaders use evidence-based practice to support and sustain patient-care outcomes.

Additional Requirements

  • Length: Submit a presentation of 10–12 slides (not including title and reference slides). Include both a title slide and a reference slide with 4–6 references to support your presentation information and ideas.
  • Formatting Guidelines: Create streamlined slides with minimal information.
    • Be precise.
    • Keep bulleted content on one line.
    • Use images instead of words when appropriate.
  • Narrative Script: Use the notes portion to create a detailed narrative for each slide.

Week 3 Assignment: Course Project Milestone – Topic Selection and Discussion
Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

  • Textbook: Chapter 5, 6
  • Lesson
  • Minimum of 2 scholarly sources (in addition to the course textbook)

Ebook uploaded below: Rachels, S., & Rachels, J. (2019). The elements of moral philosophy (9th ed.).
Instructions
This assignment is the first step in a three-part project. You only need to focus on part one at this point. Each step will build on earlier steps. However, it is not a matter of providing a rough draft of all or even part of the entire project here in week three. That is, further steps might require completely new and original text.  At the same time, completing each step will aid you in completing a future step or future steps. And, you should use the same topic in all steps.
First, select a topic of moral controversy, debate, disagreement, and dispute, Examples of such topics are euthanasia, the death penalty, abortion, cloning, etc. You can pick any such topic. It need not be listed here.
Next, detail the positions of each side of the ethical debate. Note at least two moral reasons each side presents to show their view on the topic is correct.
Now, we want to evaluate these positions using the moral theories we studied this week:

  • What would an Ethical Egoist say about this topic? What side would the Ethical Egoist take? What would the Ethical Egoist say to justify their moral position? Is there a conflict between loyalty to self and to community relevant to your topic? If so, how so? Note what you feel is the best course of action.
  • What would a Social Contract Ethicist say about this topic? What side would the Social Contract Ethicist take? What would the Social Contract Ethicist say to justify their moral position? Does your topic involve a collision between personal obligations and national ones? If so, how so? Note what you feel is the best course of action.

Finally, reference and discuss any professional code of ethics relevant to your topics such as the AMA code for doctors, the ANA code for nurses, or any other pertinent professional code. State whether and how your chosen topic involves any conflicts between professional and familial duties.
Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations.
Writing Requirements (APA format)

  • Length: 3-4pages (not including title page or references page)
  • 1-inch margins
  • Double spaced
  • 12-point Times New Roman font
  • Title page
  • References page (minimum of 2 scholarly sources in addition to the course textbook)

As you prepare to write your week three assignment, consider some of the topics listed below. Remember, you can choose any topic that you find relevant but I ask that you at least consider some of the topics related to current events in nursing  as well as other shared  topics below.
AIDS
Animal rights
Antibiotic-resistant microbes
Autism
Attention deficit disorder
Cancer
Capital punishment
Covid-19
Depression
Domestic abuse
Euthanasia
Genocide
Gun control
Hate crimes
Influenza pandemic
Opioid epidemic
Physician-assisted suicide
Prescription drugs
Substance abuse
After selecting a topic, please take some time to look for at least five academic journal articles related to the topic selected within Chamberlain’s library database.  Remember, selecting a topic is easy. The difficulty occurs when one does not give themselves enough time to work though the assignment so that it is completed by the time and due date listed.  Again, find a topic that you are passionate about or at least have some interest. Then look for at least five academic journal articles related to your topic.
Keep in mind that it is good to write an introductory paragraph where you write a minimum of five complete sentences that tell readers what your paper will be about.
I hope this helps everyone in the course have a better start to drafting the week three assignment. Evenly important, have fun selecting and researching topics that will be a joy to write about. Also, you can review the week seven assignment to see an overview of the entire project but focus on week three’s assignment for now.

SCI 362 – Nobel Prize in Biological Sciences

SCI 362 – Nobel Prize in Biological Sciences
1 / 4
Term Paper Guidelines
A final term paper, a review paper of your scientist (the Nobel Prize laureate of the panel that you co-organize), will serve as the final exam of this course. The paper will constitute 30%, i.e., 30 points (pts), of your final grade (refer to the end of the guidelines for detailed point division/distribution).
You should first collect data from any trustable sources you can find, for example, officially published books, peer-reviewed journal articles, and trustable internet resources, and in particular, the “main references” of our course (refer to the syllabus.)
Once you have collected enough data, you should complete your own analysis and interpretation of the data, and follow this writing guideline to independently finish your paper (that is, each student will write his/her own paper).
The term paper can be submitted through BlackBoard as an assignment (checked by SafeAssign) at any time before the deadline – the end of official Final Exam time for our course (Refer to the syllabus). No submission after the deadline will be accepted at any occasion. General Rules:
[Note: The current “Term Paper Guidelines” as well as the “Term Paper Writing Template” and the “Term Paper Writing Template-References” are all composed following these General Rules. Please download the “Term Paper Writing Template” and the “Term Paper Writing Template-References” and write your paper directly on these templates without changing any format.]
You will submit your term paper in two files: 1. The term paper text (Should be named as “[Your scientist’s name] by [you name]-text”, such
as “Marie Curie by Qin Leng-text”). Figures and tables (if necessary) as well as their captions/legends should be included in this file. SafeAssign will be used to check the similarity of this file of your term paper with the Institutional and Global References Database.
2. The term paper references (the “reference list”) (Should be named as “[Your scientist’s name] by [you name]-refs”, such as “Marie Curie by Qin Leng-refs”). To separate your reference list from the text is to avoid increasing the SafeAssign “similarity” of your term paper.
American English should be used to write the term paper while non-English words or phrases (e.g., vise versa) can be embedded in necessary places. The writing should be free of grammatical or spelling errors.
Metric units (SI-International System of Units) must be used throughout the paper. Convert English units to metric or use both.
Font must be in 12-point, Times New Roman. Single spaced all through the paper, including title, all chapters, and figure and table captions (if
necessary). Necessary figure(s) and table(s) can be included and all of them must be referred to in the text, in
the order of appearance. For example:
“Groves of native dawn redwood trees were shown in Figure 1.” “Table 1 shows the data of samplings of native dawn redwood trees.”
SCI 362 – Nobel Prize in Biological Sciences
2 / 4
Under each figure and table there should be a caption/legend. Figure and table numbers are formatted in CAPITAL letters, BOLD, followed by an em dash (–). Unless the figure was created by yourself, the source of the figure/table should be cited clearly at the end of the caption/legend. Examples:
FIGURE 1 – Reconstructed Arctic ecosystem during the early Paleogene
global warming period (From Leng and Yang, 2009, cover figure)
FIGURE 2 – Position of Metasequoia (indicated by an arrow) in the phylogenetic tree of the family Cupressaceae [From “http://www.conifers.org/cu/Cupressaceae.php” (retrieved 01
September 2016), with the arrow added by the current author]
Reference and Citation Formatting: Every reference from which you obtained data/information both for the text and for figure(s)/table(s)
should be cited in both the text and the reference list. We use the “name-year” citation style of “Council of Science Editors. Style Manual Committee.
2014. Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers. 8th edition. Chicago and London: The University of Chicago Press. 722p.” The style can be found from: http://www.scientificstyleandformat.org/Tools/SSF-Citation-Quick-Guide.html]:
Click “SCIENTIFIC STYLE AND FORMAT CITATION QUICK GUIDE” at the left column and click “NAME-YEAR” under “Scientific Style and Format Citation Quick Guide.”
As SafeAssign will be used to check the similarity of your term paper with the Institutional and Global References Database, to avoid increasing the “similarity” of the report of SafeAssign on your

term paper, the reference list (the “References”) of your paper should be submitted in a separate word file. Please use the “Term Paper Writing Template-References” which can be downloaded from BlackBoard to fill in your reference list.
Paper Organization:
Please organize your paper according to the following sequence: Title—The full name of your Nobel Prize laureate followed by his/her birth date and an em dash in
parenthesis if he/she is still alive [such as Example 1] or by his/her birth date, an em dash, and death date if he/she passed away [such as Example 2]. Add his/her Nobel Prize and the year in the following line. Both lines should be centered and bold.
Example 1: Shinya Yamanaka (4 September 1962 –)
The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2012
Example 2: Marie Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934)
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1903 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1911
Short Biography This session constitutes 5 pts. It should include at least: Date and place of birth of the scientist, date
and place of death of the scientist (if passed away), family of the scientist (particularly family members who influenced the scientist remarkably), education background (under graduate to graduate should be at least included) of the scientist, major career experience of the scientist, and a list of outstanding awards/honors the scientist received.
Major Scientific Achievements and Impacts
This session constitutes 15 pts. You should summarize the major scientific achievements of the scientist and discuss the major impacts of his/her work, particularly the impacts on biological sciences. Don’t provide a list of awards/honors the scientist received (which should be included in the “Short Biography” session.)
One or more separate paragraph(s) focusing on the Nobel Prize winning research of the scientist and its scientific (biological) background should be written specifically.
My Reflection
This session constitutes 3 pts, containing your personal reflection after doing research and co-organizing a panel on your scientist. Any other comments or remarks can be also included in this session.
(All these three headings — “Short Biography,” “Major Scientific Achievements and Impacts,” and
“My Reflection” — should be centered, with sentence caps, and in bold, as shown above).
References

PSY 6501: Psychology of Personality

PSY 6501: Psychology of Personality
Week 1 – Discussion 1 – Theories of Personality
Dr. Shoemaker
August 9, 2018
The reading this week from Lecci & Magnavita stresses the importance of and perspectives of several theories.  The one I chose that appeals to me was the trait theory. Utilizing the journal article written by Scott Clifford will support the reason why this particular trait resonates with me.  In this discussion, I’ll share the why the Trait theory has validity.  Additionally, the real world example will be shared to support the selected theory.
Allport’s, (1968), “Traits are specific features of personality such as persistence, integrity, and honesty, which accounts for variation in personality” (Lecci & Magnavita, 2013, sec. 1.3).  I believe that having integrity is the cornerstone of the personality and true character of an individual.  It’s about being true to self and others.  Life proceeds smoother, with less complication and you are accepted by your peers and an appreciation of self is developed as well.  Every person goes through and handles situations differently.  For example, I value people, because we are all created with our uniqueness and should be accepted as being ourselves.  People are often trying to make themselves, look larger or more important than another.  All that is unnecessary I always remember today for you, tomorrow is for me.  When it’s my time, it’s my time. When it’s yours, I’ll celebrate with you.  It is important that personality is viewed as a theoretical construct, which is invoked to help us understand each of our differences.(Lecci & Magnavita, 2013, sec. 1.2)
The real – world example to support one of the trait theories will be the kindness expressed to others.  Kindness can be infectious.  I have so many stories, but I’ll share the most recent.  Last week we had a trip to Wal-Mart with the students, the parents normally send money to purchase things when the students go on trips.  However, I hadn’t enough cash to cover my things and the students because she was short, I put back an item since I didn’t want to have her a behavior in the store.  The person behind me asked how much it was and paid for it.  I said not you don’t have to do that. He responded and said neither do you, but you’ve shown such kindness and respect towards this young lady I had to do something as well.   Why can’t we celebrate each other for just being their self?  When one hurts, we ought to be empathic and sympathize with the person, not be mean-spirited and rejoice when they are down.
Additionally, psychometric is an essential part of the study of personality, according to Lecci & Magnavita, (2013). Based on the material or information that is being assessed and scored will either yield validity, when all criterion has been fulfilled.  According to the article, Judge & Zapata, (2015), “low validity of personality traits and the lack of situational theoretical
frameworks are developing and testing an interactionist framework of personality–performance
Relationships, in which the model focuses on both general (representing situation strength) and specific (representing trait activation) moderating situational influences” (p.1149).  The situation strength reflects the degree to which constraints of those situations are present in the environment and are said to be strong when the rules, structures, and cues provide clear guidance as to the expected behavior. (Judge & Zapata, 2015, p. 1150) Whereas, weak situations occurs when the environment of social roles are unstructured. (Judge & Zapata, 2015, p. 1150)

The study of personality is a complex and fascinating aspect of psychology. The book states “personality can be defined as patterns of behavior, emotional experience, cognition that is typical in an individual, evidencing in some degree of stability across situations.” (Lecci & Magnavita, p. 51, 2013). One perspective regarding personality is the behavioral perspective, which focuses on how learning impacts personality (Lecci & Magnavita, 2013). Everyone reacts to certain stimuli differently. This theory focuses on questions such as “Was a negative behavior reinforced?” “Can aversive behavior be reconditioned to become more socially acceptable?” (Lecci & Magnavita, 2013).
I have personal experience with conditioning or reinforcing behaviors from my time working as a Behavior Interventionist with special needs children. While working in these fields I can across numerous negative behaviors that I had to work to try and remove by conditioning positive behavior. Often it was actually the parents who needed some behavior intervention. The parents would reinforce negative behaviors, which would condition the children that the negative behaviors were okay. One study analyzed the impact of a parent’s behavior on children behaviors and discovered that parents can condition their children in a positive or negative way (Milner, Wagner & Crouch, 2017). To answer the question listed above, yes behavior can be reconditioned to become more socially acceptable. It can be very challenging to recondition or avoid reinforcing negative behaviors but it is crucial in order to see healthy development of personality. In my previous job, I would spend weeks and even months working with some families to try and condition new healthy behavior.

ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOUR
COURSEWORK 2 – CASE STUDY (Individual) 10%
UNITS 2, 5, 9, 10
DUE DATE: Tuesday November 17th, 2020
 
Instructions: Answer ALL questions in this section.
 
It has been established, based on newspaper reports, that a boss who works hard at giving job satisfaction to their staff benefit from better business performance. The reports also found that about 94% of workers in the firms surveyed with ‘Investors in People’ (IiP) standard liked their jobs and only 37% of the staff in other companies said the same. They also found that 9 out of 10 workers in the companies awarded the IiP standard said they felt valued and 2/3 said they had better promotion prospects leading to higher pay and perks. On the other hand less than half (45%) of those working in firms without the IiP accreditation said this.
 
The CEO of IiP is reported as saying that bosses are seeing the benefits in terms of higher profitability, productivity and reduced costs. The IiP is a government-backed project that is aimed at bringing about a skills revolution in the British industry by urging employers to take investment in people as seriously as they would take investment in plant and equipment.
 
The report showed that up to 33,000 UK companies representing approximately 1/3 of the country’s employers, employing over 7.5 billion people, have adopted that ‘Investors in People” standard. Some of these companies had the following individual success stories:
 
a) According to an Information Technology company A, profits were boosted by 40% over four years since gaining the award
b) One engineering company B reported that productivity quadrupled
c) A manufacturing company C managed to cut $2 million off its production costs following team-working improvements
d) Another company D replaced its performance related pay scheme with IiP instead and felt that it would motivate its staff better.
 
If the results are so good, it is amazing why the other 2/3 of the employers is not on this scheme. The CEO said that they should not worry about the costs, this scheme is not about spending more on training, it is all about making sure a company’s training fits its business needs.
One HR Director agrees and commented that it is more than just a plaque on the wall. IiP has helped to put a framework in place for motivating staff in that company in line with business goals.
No wonder the Jamaican government is planning to make $20 million available for training primary and high school Principals in the techniques of staff appraisal. This will be the first step towards introducing performance related pay for teachers by the year 2017. The main changes will be:
 
i. from September 2015 all teachers to be appraised each year by senior staff
ii. entitlement to pay increases will depend on meeting targets for improving students’ results
iii. government has set aside $1 billion for performance-related pay over the first two years
iv. the decisions of the appraisers will be monitored to avoid favouritism
 
The unions representing teachers are not in favour of the performance-related pay but the Education Minister and the Prime Minister said there can be no higher salaries without a test of performance. They both claim that if it were to be paid then this would have to be justified to the whole public. (Adapted from the Guardian 1999)
QUESTIONS:
 
Company D is of the opinion that IiP would motivate its staff better.
 
a. Outline the four (4) basic characteristics of motivation and why IiP proved to be motivating.
(5 marks)
 
b. Explain how McClelland’s Theory would prove beneficial to motivating staff. (5 marks)
c. Why do you think that motivation and other strategies such as IiP would not translate across the Jamaican culture as that of the UK’s? (6 marks)
 
d. Why do you think the other 2/3 employers did not participate in the IiP scheme?
 
(9 marks)
(Total 25 marks)
