 Pick one of the following terms for your research: coercive forces, institutional environment, interorganizational relationships, joint venture, legitimacy, niche, organizational ecosystem, retention, strategic alliance, or trade association.
DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement. SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200-word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term. DISCUSSION: Using 300-350 words, write a brief discussion, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. A discussion is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the mostimportant part of the assignment. REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format. (continued) Be sure to use the headers.

choose an illness or health need for which there is an increasing burden of disease when compared to several generations ago. Explore the nature and extent of the health need’s impact upon the Australian health care system, health economy and nursing

For this assessment you will need to choose an illness or health need for which there is an increasing burden of disease when compared to several generations ago (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dementia, chronic pain, cancer).
Explore the nature and extent of the health need’s impact upon the Australian health care system, health economy and nursing (has this lead to specialist nurses? Or a new type of nurse? Has the nursing role changed in this area over the last 100 years?). Consider changes to health care delivery or health care policy which have met the impact of the increasing need, and the influence this has had on society.
Examine the role of nurses with the key role for providing interventions for those with your chosen health need, and discuss their key competencies with reference to the NMBA Standards for Practice for registered nurses. Explore professional organisations available to support registered nurses in their practice, and how their practice/role differs from other members of the health care team in supporting people with your chosen health care need.
Finally, elaborate on your paper by discussing your expectations for how this area of nursing will look in 2050. Consider factors such as the predicted nursing shortage in Australia, the aging population, predicted number of people with your chosen health condition (and their disease burden) and social and political factors.
In-text appropriate academic references are required throughout the work. A list of references in APA format is required at the conclusion of the essay (minimum 8 references).
There are three steps
1) Implications of the development of nursing thoroughly discussed using current evidence based literature. Demonstrated excellent understanding of historical and contemporary nursing practice contextualised to chosen health condition.

Registered nurse role well linked to NMBA Practice Standards. Professional organisations to support nursing competency specific to role identified. Clearly defined nursing role within the multidisciplinary team identified. /
Academic standard of paper (syntax, style and referencing) Work is the required length and presented in the correct format. Very few issues with syntax. Appropriate sources/quotes (8+) used to support information are reputable and current and are acknowledged and referenced according to APA.

The nursing role within the multidisciplinary team is identified, however scope of practice of members of the team could be clearer.

Cardiovascular Disorders

Discussion: Cardiovascular Disorders

Veins and arteries are vital elements of the cardiovascular system. They carry the blood supply through the body and are essential for proper function. Sometimes veins and arteries malfunction, resulting in cardiovascular disorders. Malfunctions of arteries and veins are similar to malfunctions of a water hose. Consider the structure and function of a hose. A tap releases water, which then travels through the hose and comes out the other end. If the hose has been dormant for several months, dirt and rusty particles might build up inside, resulting in a restricted flow of water. Similarly, buildup of plaque inside the coronary arteries restricts blood flow and leads to disorders such as coronary heart disease. This disease is one of the most common cardiovascular disorders, and according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (2011), is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. In this Discussion, you examine the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders such as coronary heart disease.

                                                             To Prepare

Review this week’s media presentation on alterations of cardiovascular functions, as well as Chapter 24 in the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders.

Select one patient factor: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders.

Select one of the following alterations of cardiovascular disorders: peripheral arterial disease, myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, or dysrhythmia. Think about how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected. 

Post a description of the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders, including how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology. Then, explain how hypertension or dyslipidemia can lead to the alteration you selected for patients with the factor you identified.

RN-to-BSN program

Throughout the , students are required to participate in scholarly activities outside of clinical practice or   professional practice. Examples of scholarly activities include   attending conferences, seminars, journal club, grand rounds, morbidity   and mortality meetings, interdisciplinary committees, quality   improvement committees, and any other opportunities available at your   site, within your community, or nationally.

You are required to post one scholarly activity while you are in the   BSN program, which should be documented by the end of this course. In   addition to this submission, you are required to be involved and   contribute to interdisciplinary initiatives on a regular basis.

Submit, as the assignment, a summary report of the scholarly   activity, including who, what, where, when and any relevant take-home   points. Include the appropriate program competencies associated with   the scholarly activity as well as future professional goals related to   this activity. You may use the “Scholarly Activity Summary”   resource to help guide this assignment.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment,   solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and   references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines,   which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student   Success Center.

While this week’s topic highlighted the uncertainty of Big Data, the author identified the following as areas for future research.  Pick one of the following for your Research paper:

  • The additional study must be performed on the interactions between each big data characteristic, as they do not exist separately but naturally interact in the real world.
  • The scalability and efficacy of existing analytics techniques being applied to big data must be empirically examined.
  • New techniques and algorithms must be developed in ML and NLP to handle the real-time needs for decisions made based on enormous amounts of data.
  • More work is necessary on how to efficiently model uncertainty in ML and NLP, as well as how to represent uncertainty resulting from big data analytics.
  • Since the CI algorithms are able to find an approximate solution within a reasonable time, they have been used to tackle ML problems and uncertainty challenges in data analytics and process in recent years.

Be approximately four-page length, not including the required cover page and reference page. Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
