IDENTIFY A GLOBAL ISSUE – ANYTHING FROM SAY WAR AND PEACE, DEVELOPMENT, HEALTH OR PANDEMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, WHATEVER – AND EXPLAIN SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES IN ADDRESSING THE ISSUE.

Writing assignment is to answer any two of the three questions below, in about 500-800 words for each essay, or approximately 2-4 pages each (1.5 or double-spaced), a chance to sum up some of the key lessons learned in the course. It’s more of an “essay”, so no need to worry about formatting or numbers of references, but the essay should demonstrate knowledge gained from the course readings and discussions. Be sure to identify the essay number at the beginning of your essay.
(1) Consider the two books we read for the class, by Kissinger and Zakaria, and identify two or three main “takeaways” from each book. What did you learn about the nature and evolution of the international system? How does the book help you better understand global issues?
(2) Identify a global issue – anything from say war and peace, development, health or pandemic, environmental, economic, whatever – and explain some of the challenges and opportunities in addressing the issue. What lessons can you draw from the course to help explain and understand the issue? Is it an issue that has a “solution” or is the best hope that we somehow “manage” it into a better state?
(3) It’s January 2019, and you’ve just been nominated as Secretary of State (equivalent to our foreign minister) in a new administration. Your first task is to assemble a team of experts as part of your new foreign policy team and to provide a brief report to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on the top priorities for the administration, part of your confirmation process as the new top diplomat. You can’t do everything — and besides, Senators have little time to read since they spend most of fundraising — so you need to select two or three top priorities to focus American foreign policy toward. What are they? What are some of the challenges faced by the United States in the current international system, and what do you plan to do about it? Be very specific and offer some concrete proposals or identify particular countries or issues you believe need immediate attention.

HEALTH CARE PRACTICES THERE ARE MANY OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF CHANGING THE CULTURE OF HEALTH CARE PRACTICES

HEALTH CARE PRACTICES THERE ARE MANY OBSTACLES IN THE WAY OF CHANGING THE CULTURE OF HEALTH CARE PRACTICES.

 NO COMMENTS
Response to peer discussion board-150 words-1 reference within 5 years-NURSING JOURNALS ONLY.There is a large push for evidence-based practice to become the main foundation of all clinicalpractices and clinical decision making. In order to provide the best up to date quality careevidence-based practice must be used. By the year 2020 90% of clinical decisions will besupported by accurate timely and up-to-date clinical information and will reflect the bestavailable evidence (Boswell& Cannon 2017). Though it is ideal to have evidence-base practicedriving health care practices there are many obstacles in the way of changing the culture ofhealth care practices. There are many obstacles to change such as resistance to change fromstaff available resources to support changes lack of support and training from mentors andresearch findings incompatible with the realities of their practice (Johnston Coole Feakes Whitworth Tyrell & Hardy 2016 p. 392).Working at Shands Hospital in Gainesville Florida there is most definitely a strong push forthe best quality of care through evidence-based practice. Each unit throughout the hospital hasa clinical leader. The units clinical leaders main job description is to assure the unit is clinicallyusing practices that are evidence-based. The main obstacle that I have found on my unit hasbeen research findings incompatible with the realities of their practice (Johnston et al. 2016 p.392 ). Working on such a high acuity unit in the cardiovascular intensive care unit a lot ofevidence-based hospital driven policies and practices have had to be adjusted specially to fit ourunit. Hospital wide practices have had to be adapted because certain practices do not apply tothe realities and acuity of our unit. One main example is the MEWS assessment. The modifiedearly warning score (MEWS) is an example of a physiological track and trigger system designedto identify patients at risk of clinical deterioration in order to provide a timely response torequest appropriately-trained nursing or medical staff to assess the patient and provide anyinterventions required (Harris 2013 p.432). MEWS is an extremely useful tool on floor units but on my particular unit a majority of our patient population have such a high baseline MEWScore. If following our hospital protocol for our patients MEWS we would be constantly callingphysicians and bringing them to the bedside. Our patients have extremely high acuity which isone of the reasons they are in the intensive care unit. Our physicians are aware of the acuity ofour patients and therefore the hospital wide MEW score does not really apply to our unit. Wehad to adjust the triggers of the MEW Scores of when to notify a physician. On the floor aMEWS of 4 a physician is notified and needs to come assess the patient but in the CICU thescore for when a physician has to come to bedside was adjusted to a 6. MEWS is just one ofthe many obstacles present in implementing evidence-based practices on our unit. There aremany obstacles to implementing evidence-based practices in our clinical practices but it isimperative that we adjust or policies and practices to reflect the research found in order toprovide the best quality care.Answer rating (rated one time)

Psychology homework help
In this assignment, you apply and integrate the concepts of attribution, attitude, behavior, and cognitive dissonance.
Identify a situation in which an individual was persuaded into a decision to engage in behavior that violated social values, beliefs, attitudes, ethics, and/or morals, such as misrepresenting a product, underreporting income on taxes, falsifying services on a billing document, taking supplies from work, or engaging in vandalism.

  • Analyze the situation from the perspective of the individual’s social, cultural, and spiritual influences and his or her ethics. Refrain from inserting your own judgments and opinions.
  • Describe the reciprocal relationship between behavior and attitudes.
  • Cite at least 3 references.

Format your paper according to APA guidelines.

Every individual has faced a hard decision in one time of their lives and has come across a situation against their values and morals. Every person is different and has their morals, belief, and ethics they live by on an everyday basis. Society today is persuaded or pressured by another individual to do something wrong, even if they don’t want to do it. In this paper, we will discuss and identify a situation where a girl named Cristina decides to decide her values and morals, in regards to cheating and lying on her taxes. Even though she knew what might happen and what the consequences could be her morals were questioned.

Summary of the Situation

Cristina has realized she has worked a lot of overtime within the year and has made too much money. Furthermore, she knows that filling herself will result in having to pay back the IRS money she can’t even afford. Cristina’s sister had mentioned to her that she could let her claim her two children and use their social security, to get back a couple thousand therefore in return, Cristina could give her five hundred for both children. However, Cristina is aware that by claiming them it’s a wrongful act and she is committing fraud for alleging children that are not hers and can be held accountable and get audited by the IRS. Cristina isn’t thinking of the consequences of what might happen if she gets audited she is only thinking of the money she will get back. She also has an evident understanding of what is right from wrong.

Prosocial Behavior

Assignment List Week 7 Assignment: Prosocial Behavior Week 7 Assignment: Prosocial Behavior

For this exercise, pick one day and seek to structure your thoughts and behaviors entirely around helping others. With each interaction or action you take, pause to think and ask yourself “is there a way I might help another here?” Hold a door for someone, offer your seat, share a smile, give a sincere compliment, show empathy to another, attempt to be more patient or understanding, etc. Your efforts should be in social settings that involve interactions with others (rather than something such as donating to a charity for instance). The goal is to be as thoughtfully prosocial in your interactions throughout the day as possible.

At the beginning of the day, jot down your general mood, feelings, attitude, etc.
Then throughout the day, whenever possible, carry a small notebook with you or make notes in an app on your phone to jot down meaningful encounters or experiences as you attempt to engage in prosocial behaviors.
At the end of the day, again reflect and take notes on how you feel, your general mood, feelings and attitudes, etc.
In a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation, not counting title or reference slides:
Summarize your experience. Describe the prosocial behaviors you engaged in, others’ reactions to these behaviors, and your assessment of any changes in mood, attitude, good fortune, or anything else of note you experienced.
Review what you have learned about human behavior in social settings this week in your readings and CogBooks activities. Connect what you learned or experienced through your day of conscious, prosocial behavior with the terms, concepts, and theories from your research.

Criminal Prosecution for Nursing Practice

IDENTIFY WHAT EMOTIONS ARE EVOKED AS YOU CONSIDER THE COLORADO BOARD OF NURSING CASE STATED ABOVE?
 NO COMMENTS
Criminal Prosecution for Nursing Practice
Submit a 1- to 2-page essay
Case Study:
Until recently, the risk of criminal prosecution for nursing practice was nonexistent unless nursing action rose to the level of criminal intent, such as the case of euthanasia leading to murder charges. However, in April 1997, three nurses at the Centura St. Anthony Hospital, outside of Denver, were indicted by a Colorado grand jury for criminally negligent homicide in the death of a newborn. Public records show that one nurse was assigned to care for the baby. A second nurse offered to assist her colleague in caring for the baby. A third nurse was a nurse practitioner in the hospital nursery. Because the baby was at risk for congenital syphilis, the physician ordered that the nurses give 150,000 units of intramuscular penicillin, which would have required five separate injections.
In relation to other problems the same day, the baby was subjected to a lumbar puncture, which required six painful attempts. To avoid inflicting further pain, nurse two asked the nurse practitioner whether there was another route available for the administration of the penicillin. Nurse two and the nurse practitioner searched recognized pharmacology references and determined that intravenous administration would be acceptable. The nurse practitioner had the authority to change the route and directed nurse two to administer the medication intravenously rather than intramuscularly. Unrecognized by the nurses, the pharmacy erroneously delivered the medication, prepared and ready to administer, in a dose ten times greater than was ordered—1.5 million units. As nurse two was administering the medication intravenously, the baby died. The Colorado Board of Nursing initiated disciplinary proceedings against nurse two and the nurse practitioner, but not against nurse one. The grand jury indicted all three nurses on charges of criminally negligent homicide but did not indict the pharmacist (Calfee & Plum, 1997).
Respond to the following with these headings:

  • Identify what emotions are evoked as you consider the Colorado Board of Nursing case stated above?
  • Should the courts take into consideration the fact that the nurses’ error occurred because they wanted to avoid causing the baby unnecessary pain? Discuss your thinking.
  • Can you think of other occupations in which the consequences of unintentional errors have greater legal implications? Discuss your answer.
  • How should the nursing profession respond to this frightening new legal threat?
  • Which sections of the State Nurse Practice Act did the nurses violate?

World history homework help

1.) How does the film version of the historical incident, personage, period, etc., relate to the written
source?
2.) Please compare the film version to the “written” history. Pay close attention to how the history of
the period, place, persons, etc., are handled in the film—is there significant time compression, are the
events dramatized greatly in comparison to the way they are portrayed in the written historical works,
are they “distorted” for dramatic or political reasons, are characters added or subtracted from the film
version, etc.?
3) In addition to discussing the actual history, characters, settings, periods, etc., please also explore
the cinematic elements in the movie version—that is, the way the story is narrated, the way it is
filmed or edited (for example, what shots are used, and how they are edited together to create
effects or emotional reactions), the way the actors are directed, the way color, music, lighting,
camera angles, or other elements are employed, and so forth.
4) What is your perspective on the film/article combination and the themes they explore? Be sure
to analyze the importance of the film to the topics and themes covered in our course: What or how does
the material contribute to our understanding of Latin American history? How does their approach differ
from or complement other sources we have studied? What interests or point of view might shape the
points/argument they present? Another approach would be to offer a critique. Critiques can sometimes
be an easier starting point when confronting a new work.
