Biology and Technology in the Real World – Fracking
Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) and tar sands (oil sands).  With society’s dependence on nonrenewable fossil fuels, the oil & gas industry is turning to hydraulic fracturing and tar (oil) sands to extract natural gas and oil.  A friend asks you “What’s all this controversy in the news about fracking and tar sands?”  Briefly explain to your friend how hydraulic fracturing and tar (oil) sands are used to obtain these fossil fuels. Then, in more detail, describe the environmental problems that may result from these processes and why they are controversial. Issues that should be addressed involves water, air and soil pollution with special focus on global climate change, effects on human health, and effects on other species and natural ecosystems. Finally, give your opinions on possible solutions to these environmental problems, with your reasoning backed by information from reliable information sources.
1. Find at least three reliable information sources on fracking.
2. Write a paper on fracking with title page, introduction, several paragraphs addressing the questions, conclusion and references. You must write in your own words and paraphrase information from the selected information sources, addressing each of the questions for your chosen topic. Your paper should consist of less than 10% direct quotes. Your paper should be 1000 words, excluding references and title page. Use APA style for references

In some ways, contracts can be very easy to enter into. In fact, we often enter into agreements simply by our actions.
For example, many businesses place small notices near their entryways warning that by entering the building you consent to video recording or by parking in a specific lot you agree that the lot owner is not liable should anything happen to your car (even if you paid to park there).
Are these agreements valid?
Should individuals be held to agreements even if they did not know about them?
Use specific details about contract formation and performance in your response.

Adulthood Discussion (Discussion 5)
The subjects of retirement and health insurance are much in the news these days. Discuss your plans for retirement with a special emphasis on income after retirement and health insurance. After a lifetime of paying Social Security and Medicare taxes in every payroll check, your grandparents and parents are counting on having Social Security and Medicare to help with the inevitable loss of income occuring at retirement.
Things may be different for your generation. Many are discussing privatizing Social Security and doing away with Medicare. Even Republican voters in the State of Florida are opposed to this plan. Read the report on a survey of Republican Primary Voters who objected 2:1 to plans to change these benefits (among Hispanic voters, opposition was even stronger with 4:1 voters opposing changes). Given what you know of the volatilty of the stock markets that are up one day and down drastically another, would you risk your retirement to the stock market? Would you risk your health on having the ability to pay for private health insurance when you retire?
Despite what you’ve heard, Social Security and Medicare can be saved. The generation entering the workforce today (The Millenials) are an even larger generation than the retiring Baby Boomer generation. As long as as many or more are paying into the system than those who are retiring, the programs can and should be saved. You never know how your life will turn out and it is essential to have a basic retirement cushion to live on. Moreover, it is your money after all. You have paid into both Social Security and Medicare with every paycheck since you started working.
What can you do now to help save Social Security and Medicare? Some believe it is essential to send politicians to Washington and Tallahassee who will protect those benefits. But it is not enough to save these benefits. What can you do to guarantee a comfortable retirement and good medical care in your old age?

Students,

I was disappointed in the overall grades for the assignments this week. Several of you did not use APA to format your papers nor use the example provided at the beginning of the course. The students that did use those resources received high grades because they were able to meet the criteria of the assignment.

For week 4, make sure you use APA for your papers. Address the strengths and weaknesses of each question. The example provided demonstrates how the paper should be set up with headings.

Read the comments on your papers. If you did not format your paper at all I only wrote on the paper not in APA.

Make sure the references you are using are peer reviewed and within 5 years unless it is a classic. The most common peer reviewed resources are books and journals. Websites are not peer reviewed, especially websites. Slideshare is not a peer reviewed source. Stay with books and journals for your references.

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.
