Question Description

Your assignment this week will be an APA paper to include title page, level headings, and a reference page.

  1. Case Study

The hospice nurse sat with Ann’s husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room’s only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann’s bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. “She would ride like the wind was chasing her.” Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears “Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling.” Ben turned “Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie’s husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night.” Ben turned back as a deep sign escaped from Ann’s lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.

  • Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse’s theory of Human Becoming?
  • What are characteristics of a humanbecoming nurse? What are strengths and weaknesses to this theory of nursing?
  • What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?
  • How might Parse’s understanding of transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann’s death became a reality to Ben?
  • From the nursing theories we have discussed, what theory would you apply to this case study? Develop a plan of care to include both nursing theories (be specific and provide reasons)

The APA formatted paper should include 2 outside references and your book. The essay should be between 1250 and 1500 words in length.

For this assignment, you will be taking on the role of marketing manager for the organization that you researched in Unit VI (Apple Marketing Plan).

a) Introduction: Include a brief introduction of the company.
b) Competitive Analysis: Provide a comparison of the company against two or three competitors.
c) Marketing Strategies: Include an examination of all four Ps (product, price, place, and promotion). This should include the product and service, pricing, distribution/place, and both traditional and digital marketing strategies.
d) Competitive Advantage: Address whether the company holds a competitive advantage in each of the areas of the four Ps.
e) Ethical Stance of Company: Present the company’s ethical stance, which can include topics such as how they have created an ethical culture, social responsibility or corporate social responsibility (CSR), or any other topics related to ethical behavior within the organization.
f) Conclusion: Provide recommendations for this company with respect to future marketing strategies, remembering to include topics involving all four Ps.
The PowerPoint must meet the criteria below.
a) Must be at least 15 slides in length (not counting the title slide).

·         Describe the roles and responsibilities of the administration in each department of your chosen facilities.

·         Identify and list the sources of financing available to consumers for the various programs provided by your chosen facilities. Identify the key public and private sources of reimbursement available. Also discuss the role played by managed care and its impact on long-term care reimbursement.

·         Describe the various government and private resources available that assist in developing and maintaining quality improvement programs in your chosen facilities. Describe the ways in which quality and cost are controlled in your chosen facilities. Also discuss the ethical aspect of access to care in the facilities, including rationing.

Based on your observations and learning from the two facilities, discuss the changes brought in the long-term care system to make it reach full status as a competition-driven system. You may include the following points in your discussion:

·         Discuss the changes made in the control mechanisms (external and internal) in order to control the management, financing, and quality in the long-term care systems.

·         Discuss the changes taking place in long-term care reimbursement system in order to provide better reimbursement options both to consumers and providers.

·         Discuss the changes made in the efforts of providers to accommodate changing magnitude of the day-to-day needs of long-term care consumers.

 The principle for the digital presentation is to explore an issue or topic related to intercultural communication and presents it in a way that educates your audience. Think of the general audience where some may have an idea about the topic while others may have not heard about it. Thus your information should be informative at different levels. Make sure to discuss counter arguments if and when applicable.
– do a poster presentation about the impact of the COVID-19 on the student while studying abroad.
– The information should be enough but not overwhelming in the specialization. –
The presentation should also clearly reference your sources; include your references/sources within the presentation and not just as a reference list at the end

– A minimum of five reputable sources (preferably academic and not .com or Wikipedia) are expected.
For this assignment, write an essay that addresses each of the following points:

  1. Choose five U.S. government policies that affect trade with foreign nations. Identify three factors of production, and describe how their mobility is good or bad for U.S. trade
  2. Distinguish between absolute advantage and comparative advantage trade theories and give examples
  3. Choose either the TPP or the T-TIP free trade agreement and describe which other countries have signed on and why the U.S. Senate should ratify or not ratify the agreement. Also, explain how regional trading groups influence organizations.

Your essay submission should be a minimum of three pages in length in APA style; however, a title page, a running head, and an abstract are not required. You are required to use at least two scholarly sources for this essay. Your responses to the three prompts must be in paragraph form.

  • Read the article Competent Educators of the 21st Century: Principles of Quality Pedagogy (Links to an external site.) (pages 28-31 specifically).
  • Compare and contrast the differences between classroom assessment strategies and standardized assessments, including the advantages and disadvantages of classroom assessments.
  • Choose one of the children from the Colorado Department of Education videos to observe. State explicitly which child you are using (name of child).
  • Based on the observation of that child, you will create a family-friendly resource that highlights their child’s strengths and needs that can be shared at your upcoming family conference. Your resource should include information from each of the documentation options below and should be family-friendly:
  • Narratives for parents
  • Indicators of dispositions
  • Developmental checklist
  • Explain specifically how your resource meets each of the indicators of quality for Principle 4.1 of the Competent Educators of the 21st Century: Principles of Quality Pedagogy and why creating effective assessment partnerships is important for leaders in the field of early childhood education.

Guided Response: Respond to at least two of your peers’ posts. As a leader in the field of early childhood education, provide feedback on the resource. What were some of the highlights of the resource? In what ways is this resource family friendly? Respectfully provide suggestions that would make this resource more family-friendly or in better alignment with Principle 4.1.
Though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning, you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. Remember, continuing to engage with peers and the instructor will further the conversation and provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with this topic.
