According to the American Diabetes Association, nearly 26 million children and adults have been diagnosed with diabetes in the United States. Approximately 2 million more are diagnosed every year, with another 79 million people considered to be at a pre-diabetic state (ADA, 2011). These millions of people are at risk of several alterations including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. Since diabetes has a major impact on the health of millions of people around the world, it is essential for advanced practice nurses to understand the pathophysiology and associated alterations of this disorder, as well as treatment and management options. In this Assignment, you compare types of diabetes, including drug treatments for type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

To prepare:

  • Review this week’s media presentation on the endocrine system and diabetes, as well as Chapter 45 of the Arcangelo text and the Peterson, et al, article in your Learning Resources.
  • Think about the differences in the pathophysiology of types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.
  • Select one type of diabetes.
  • Consider one type of drug used to treat the type of diabetes you selected, including proper preparation and administration of this drug. Then, reflect on dietary considerations related to treatment.
  • Think about the short-term and long-term impact on patients of the type of diabetes you selected, including effects of drug treatments.
  • Review the American Diabetes Association’s “Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes–2012” web article in your Learning Resources. Consider one technique you would use to educate patients on these diabetes treatment standards.

By Day 7 of Week 8

Write a 3- to 4-page paper that addresses the following:

  • Explain the differences in the pathophysiology of types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

Read the following scenario:

Emma and Isabella attend the front office at an urgent care facility. They have worked together for over 5 years and enjoy collaborating on projects. Their manager has asked them to collaborate by creating a team training for effective communication in the workplace. Emma and Isabella will be responsible for creating and delivering the training to the staff at the facility. Emma feels that it is important to provide hands-on learning while Isabella feels lecture would be the most appropriate format for this team. Emma defends her point by saying that her sister has been a teacher for 10 years, and she has proven that hands-on learning will increase the engagement and likelihood of remembering the training material. Isabella feels that Emma does not account for her 10 years of experience in the medical office and voices her disgust with Emma for her lack of appreciation for her experience. Isabella storms off and leaves Emma to finish the work.

Emma approaches the manager and complains that she has been left to complete the training because Isabella refuses to talk or work with her.

Write a 265- to 350-word paper that includes the following:

  • Describe the type of conflict illustrated in the scenario.
  • Identify strategies the manager could use to resolve the conflict between Emma and Isabella to create a supportive climate again.
    • Explain how the defensive climate created by the conflict will affect the workplace relationship between Emma and Isabella.
      • Discuss the impact it could have on the other clinic staff and the consumers who use the clinic.

Ethical Dilemma

/in /by

Read this and answer the questions below: 

The ethical dilemma we choose is from an article published on Albert Einstein College of Medicine. The case is of a 17 year old Cassandra C.  who was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and was receiving chemotherapy. Cassandra made the decision that she wanted to stop her chemotherapy treatments where she felt that she was receiving forced treatments. Cassandra recalls her undergoing procedures against her will by sedating and strapping her to the hospital bed.  However, since she was still a minor her mother did not consent to her haulting her treatments. The issue was taken to court where the judge overruled and siding with the medical judgement that there’s an 85 percent survival rate for those who undergo chemotherapy.  Once the ruling was sided the court decided to take custody of Cassandra, where underwent a procedure to install a chest port so that medications would be administered. The dilemma for Cassandra is that she was only one year away from being able to make an autonomous decision for herself but since she is a minor she was forced into something she didn’t want.

The ethical dilemma we created was based off of the ethical principle of “autonomy” since the article we choose has to do with Cassandra not being able to make healthcare decisions for herself. Gary, 45 year old male was presented to the emergency room with signs of a stroke. Gary, was first diagnosed with a stroke at 40 years old. Admitted into the emergency room unconscious, he is accompanied by his wife and child. The doctor stops the bleeding which is cause by a cerebral aneurysm however another is spotted which can then increase the chance of another stroke.  The wife is given a form to sign for consent to allow a surgical procedure to prevent another hemorrhage which could result in many unwanted effects such as decline in cognitive ability to even paralysis. Without the surgery he death can occur, the wife states” it was painful for her husband and he said he doesn’t ever want to live like that or live compromised again”.

Without a consent the doctors are unable to perform the surgery, the doctor notices bruises on the wife’s arms hidden underneath her sweater. With that she comes to the realization that she has been abused by her husband. The wife admits to the abuse she has endured but refuses to consent for the surgery thus allowing the husband to die without the choice of autonomy to make his own decision. This presents as an ethical dilemma because patients are to make autonomous decisions for themselves but in this circumstance the doctor has to do so since the wife is causing harm and potential death to him. What should the doctor do? Is the wife in the wrong for this even though she has been constantly abused by her husband?

Answer this question:

  • 1. Apply any other method you have encountered in lecture material and the readings. ( Ex. Locke, Hobbes, Kant, Human Nature, St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas)
  • 2. State which method you prefer and why

HR Project Management

/in /by

Question description

You will need to research and identify a project of your choosing to be the representative project for this course. The project identified by you will be applied for all of the assignments as appropriate.

It can be argued that one of your most important assets to a project is your “human” resource. Therefore, a key project management skill is leadership in terms of developing and motivating the project team. In this course, you will gain expertise in preparing a strategy incorporating good human resource practices based on accepted theories and models. You will select a project that you may have developed in a previous class or a known project in an organization that has a project team that could benefit from a Project Human Resource Management Strategy Plan.

Throughout this course, you will be working on developing several components of the final Key Assignment. Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project will be provided in the assignment description for this project.

In this first Individual Project, you are asked to develop the outline of the sections that will be included in your Project Human Resource Management Strategy Plan document and a draft of a proposal to submit to your instructor. The other information that you will include is a high-level description of the project that you will be developing the strategy plan for.

You will also be setting up the final Key Assignment outline that you will add to each week. The combined Individual Project (IP) assignments will be your final Key Assignment deliverable.

Project Selection

The first step will be to select a project that you plan to develop a human recourse strategy plan for. This project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:

  1. Nontrivial: The selected project candidate should reflect a real-life project.
  2. Domain knowledge: You will be applying knowledge of this project to address assignments related to motivating and supporting the human resource component of the project.

Select a project that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first few days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Assignment Guidelines

Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use as the basis of your Key Assignment. You will also create the shell document for the final project Key Assignment document deliverable that you will be working on throughout the course.

Homeland Security Capstone Class (Personal Leadership History Report)

/in /by

Question description

The Leadership Development Project Process

The project is a course-length process managed using specified development steps that correlate with specific course materials. Aspects of this process will be addressed in the course conferences each week. The first of the two project deliverables is the personal leadership history report.

Personal Leadership History Report

Discuss leadership experiences, what you learned from them, factors that influenced how you led, and how you look back on that leadership experience. This does not have to cover your entire leadership experience, but should cover enough to write the Personal Leadership Portfolio assignment. Be sure to read the requirements for that assignment before you complete the Personal Leadership History Report. Be careful not to focus on a leadership style in general, but discuss specific personal leadership experiences, both positive and negative, successes and failures. Be sure that your conclusion focuses on summing up your points on leadership discussed in the essay, not just a style. This is an essay on leadership, not management; sometimes the distinction is a fine line.

The personal leadership history report will review your leadership experiences and describes your leadership style during those experiences. The body of the personal leadership history report shall be 4-6 pages, excluding other material such as the cover page, table of contents, abstract, graphics and tables, and references. The paper shall be presented in APA (6th edition) format, all margins should be 1”, 12 point font, and be in either Arial or New Times Roman font style. In the following descending order of preference, information sources must be either peer-reviewed articles, government reports, or other sources approved by your instructor. Internet information sources from other than authoritative sources are discouraged. See the Research Paper grading rubric for more information.

The Personal Leadership History Report is worth 10% of your final grade.

Benchmark Assignment – Nursing Leadership Health Policy Paper, health and medicine homework help

/in /by

Question description

The IOM Future of Nursing report calls for an increase in leadership from nurses at all levels. One way nurses demonstrate their role as a leader, is through public policy change. A leader does not always carry an official title or position, but demonstrates leadership through the work and the stance the leader takes to make a change for the good of others. Nurses have been noted by the Gallop poll year after year as the most trusted professionals.

This assignment requires thought about a public policy that is needed or needs to be changed that relates to nursing, health care, or the public. Policy changes can occur by working with members of your legislature, and state or national nurses associations, to introduce a new bill and/or change to a current law in your state or federal government.

Examples of public policy includes any component of the current legislation governing health care, Medicare Part D, Medicaid, nursing regulation, medication technicians, etc.

In 1,000 words, propose a health policy change (that is currently a bill, a law, or may not exist at all) at the state or federal level that you believe needs to change and why.

  • The policy must not be a clinical care policy for individual care. The policy involved may include public or community health, legislative or regulatory, professional organization (nursing-oriented), advanced nursing practice, health plan, or hospital plan.
  • Include a specific section for the exact wording for the bill or change in wording of the law.
  • Include the plan for the implementation of your policy development, to lobbying for passage, to next steps after passage.
  • Discuss who would be the champion for the bill/law change from your state advocates (legislators, federal legislators, local or national state nursing organizations). Are these individuals also influential in making changes occur? Did you vote for the individual in office that you want to help you make this change?

Resources:

  • Review different pieces of legislation for ideas on wording.
  • Visit your state’s legislative governmental affairs website site to understand the process your policy change could take if you wanted to introduce to into legislation.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

You are required to submit this assignment to Turnitin. Please refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

In Unit 2, you selected one standardized test that has relevancy to your academic and professional goals to be the focus of your course project. Your Unit 2 assignment focused on the first four elements of the Code for selecting a test. For this assignment, you will complete a deeper analysis of the technical quality of your selected test by focusing on the fifth element of the Code, which states that the test user will “evaluate evidence of the technical quality of the test provided by the test developer and any independent reviews.” To complete this assignment, you will draw upon the knowledge you gained in Units 3 and 4 about psychometrics in general and reliability and validity in particular.

For this assignment, you will use the test you selected for your project in Unit 2. Locate and summarize a minimum of seven articles related to the technical qualities of the selected test. You are encouraged to use the PSY7610 Library Research Guide, linked in the Resources, to assist your search.

For each article:

•List the APA reference for each journal article (a minimum of seven).

•Identify if the article addresses reliability or validity.

•Discuss if the article addresses sources of error variance, reliability estimates, evidence of validity, or bias and fairness.

•Identify the specific type of reliability or validity (for example, test-retest reliability, predictive validity, et cetera).

•Identify the overall results of the research, including any psychometric or statistical outcome.

Submit your analysis as a paper using the outline provided in the section “Organize Your Paper” below.

Guidelines for Selecting the Literature

Use the most current sources you can find. Do not use sources older than 8 years. (You may cite older sources if they are classics, if you want to show the chronology of something, or if you have another good reason. If you choose to use older sources, you will need to explain why.). Use current, peer-reviewed journal articles. Do not use sources without an author or a publication date. Do not use quotes; use only your own words. Please see the Plagiarism in Coursework document in the resources for concerns with high content matching in papers. Evaluate whether or not the results supports the use of your test as appropriate for your field and populations to be served.

Note: The articles you need to complete this assignment should be available inside the library collection. In future courses, you may use the library’s Interlibrary Loan service to obtain articles outside of the collection, but you should not have to use the service for PSY7610. In the event that you cannot find articles covering a newer test edition, please refer to the List of Tests by Type, linked in the Resources. Note which tests have been designated as acceptable for searching prior test editions.

Organize Your Paper

For your paper, use the following headings:

1.Title page (required).

2.Abstract (optional).

3.Introduction. ◦Identify the standardized test you selected in Unit 2.

◦Describe briefly the publisher’s stated purpose for its use.

◦Identify briefly a population or psychological condition that is within the standardization of the test.

4.Technical review article summaries. Each article is to be directly related to your chosen test and one aspect of its technical quality. Note: Use an annotated bibliography for evaluative information format (see the resources for additional information available at Capella about annotated bibliographies). ◦List the APA reference for each journal article (a minimum of seven).

◦Identify if the article addresses reliability or validity.

◦Explain how the article addresses sources of error variance, reliability estimates, evidence of validity, or bias and fairness.

◦Identify the specific type of reliability or validity (for example, test-retest reliability, predictive validity, et cetera).
