jacksnathalie

Overview Develop a 4–6-page position about a specific health care issue as it relates to a target vulnerable population. Include an analysis of existing evidence and position papers to help support your position. Your analysis should also present and respond to one or more opposing viewpoints. Note : Each assessment in this course builds on the work you completed in the previous assessment. Therefore, you must complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented. Position papers are a method to evaluate the most current evidence and policies related to health care issues. They offer a way for researchers to explore the views of any number of organizations around a topic. This can help you to develop your own position and approach to care around a topic or issue. This assessment will focus on analyzing position papers about an issue related to addiction, chronicity, emotional and mental health, genetics and genomics, or immunity. Many of these topics are quickly evolving as technology advances, or as we attempt to push past stigmas. For example, technology advances and DNA sequencing provide comprehensive information to allow treatment to become more targeted and effective for the individual. However as a result, nurses must be able to understand and teach patients about the impact of this information. With this great power comes concerns that patient conditions are protected in an ethical and compassionate manner. By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria: Competency 1: Design evidence-based advanced nursing care for achieving high-quality population outcomes. Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that could support a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population. Evaluate the evidence and positions of others that are contrary to a team's approach to improving the quality and outcomes of care for a specific issue in a target population. Competency 2: Evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of interprofessional interventions in achieving desired population health outcomes. Explain the role of the interprofessional team in facilitating improvements for a specific issue in a target population. Competency 3: Analyze population health outcomes in terms of their implications for health policy advocacy. Explain a position with regard to health outcomes for a specific issue in a target population. Competency 4: Communicate effectively with diverse audiences, in an appropriate form and style, consistent with organizational, professional, and scholarly standards. Communicate an initial viewpoint regarding a specific issue in a target population and a synthesis of existing positions in a logically structured and concise manner, writing content clearly with correct use of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Overall Scenario Always Fresh Foods Inc. is a food distributor with a central headquarters and main warehouse in Colorado, as well as two regional warehouses in Nevada and Virginia. The company runs Microsoft Windows 2019 on its servers and Microsoft Windows 10 on its workstations. There are 2 database servers, 4 application servers, 2 web servers, and 25 workstation computers in the headquarters offices and main warehouse. The network uses workgroups, and users are created locally on each computer. Employees from the regional warehouses connect to the Colorado network via a virtual private network (VPN) connection. Due to a recent security breach, Always Fresh wants to increase the overall security of its network and systems. They have chosen to use a solid multilayered defense to reduce the likelihood that an attacker will successfully compromise the company’s information security. Multiple layers of defense throughout the IT infrastructure makes the process of compromising any protected resource or data more difficult than any single security control. In this way, Always Fresh protects its business by protecting its information. Scenario 1 Assume you are an entry-level security administrator working for Always Fresh. You have been asked to evaluate the option of adding Active Directory to the company’s network. Tasks Create a summary report to management that answers the following questions to satisfy the key points of interest regarding the addition of Active Directory to the network: 1. System administrators currently create users on each computer where users need access. In Active Directory, where will system administrators create users? 2. How will the procedures for making changes to the user accounts, such as password changes, be different in Active Directory? 3. What action should administrators take for the existing workgroup user accounts after converting to Active Directory? 4. How will the administrators resolve differences between user accounts defined on different computers? In other words, if user accounts have different settings on different computers, how will Active Directory address that issue? (Hint: Consider security identifiers [SIDs].) .

Context Working in an emergency room gives rise to ethical dilemmas. Due to time restraints and the patient's cognitive impairment and lack of medical history, complications can and do occur. The nurse has very little time to get detailed patient information. He or she must make a quick assessment and take action based on hospital protocol. The organized chaos of the emergency room presents unique ethical challenge, which is why nurses are required to have knowledge of ethical concepts and principles. Questions to consider To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. · How does a triage nurse decide which patient gets seen first? · How does health disparity affect the triage nurse's decision making? · What ethical and moral issues does the triage nurse take into account when making a decision? · What are triage-level designations? Resources Suggested Resources The following optional resources are provided to support you in completing the assessment or to provide a helpful context.

jacksnathalie

Over the years, the style and practice of leadership within law enforcement agencies has gradually changed. In the past, leadership was primarily relegated to one individual within the department. However, there has been a transformation in leadership theory resulting in a more dynamic, multifaceted nature of teamwork, inclusion, and dispersed leadership. More and more, police chiefs are being encouraged to move toward a more participatory leadership style of management, one that encourages collaboration and cooperation in the decision-making process. Based on your readings in the text and credible Internet research, respond to the following: What does the term shared leadership mean? What advantages or disadvantages do you see in this leadership approach? What direction should law enforcement leaders take for the future, related to leadership styles? What does the term visionary leadership mean? 2-3 pages .

jacksnathalie

Over the years, one of the key criticisms of many of the agencies consolidated into the Department of Homeland Security was that they were “stove pipes” and they did not share information, or help each other out. Information held by one agency was not shared with another. One of the findings following the September 11, 2001 attack was intelligence agencies did not share information with law enforcement. In the Introduction to Part 3 of the primary text, William Bratton (2012) states, “In today’s increasingly networked world, organizations must collaborate across traditional boundaries or run the risk of irrelevance and failure. No one agency can do it alone” (p. 191). Initial Post Identify one of the key issues with information sharing and collaboration identified in Part 3 of the primary text. What is the deficiency? How has the deficiency been addressed? Did the formation of the Department of Homeland Security resolve the information flow? Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources.

Over the whole of the semester you will have noticed the diversity o.docx

jacksnathalie

Over the whole of the semester you will have noticed the diversity of women's experiences and perspectives through each historical era we have covered in the course. However, the modern period is often represented as offering the widest range of diversity within women's activists groups and what is referred to as the "feminist movement." For example, chapter 11 features sections on "liberal feminism," women in the Black Power movement, "Latina activism," women as leaders of the peace movement, and women as political pioneers. It is perhaps not surprising that when U. S. society reached the 1980s and 1990s there was a kind of backlash against women’s movements and the criticisms lumped all the diverse streams of feminism together without thoughtful attention to their many differences. To put this in contemporary context, public figures as diverse as Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Beyoncé, and Miley Cyrus (to name just a few - you can probably think of many others) could, believe it or not, all claim to be descended from the feminism of the 1960s and 1970s. How would you define or describe "feminism" today? Is it still a useful term? Is it necessary? Or does it blur or simplify some important differences that we might rather highlight? (Responses should be at least 250 words—although for this topic, you may feel like you need more! That's OK.) .

Overview for referencing in written reports, essays and assignments College of Business Dr Peter Chomley The academic challenge: Understanding how you communicate The RMIT College of Business Guidelines are based on the Style manual for authors, editors and printers (2002), referred to here as Style manual (2002) which is published on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia, and is the Commonwealth Government’s preferred style. The Style manual (2002) can be used to provide guidance on areas which are not covered in the RMIT Business document, but if there is any inconsistency you should follow the RMIT Business document. RMIT University 2018 College of Business v.4 2010 2 What is referencing? • Referencing means acknowledging someone else’s work or ideas. It is sometimes called ‘citing’ or ‘documenting’ another person’s work. • Referencing is a basic University requirement. • It is mandatory for all students to cite or acknowledge information that has come from other sources. • Without appropriate referencing students are in effect ‘stealing’ the work of others - this is tantamount to academic fraud. There are consequences if students fail to reference their assignments. These may include: • Reduction in marks for assessment tasks. • Failure in a course of study. • Expulsion from a program. Note: The Harvard system has many variations. You must use this version known as the AGPS style. 3RMIT University 2018 When do I reference? You reference whenever you have used a piece of information that comes from • Text books • Journals • Published papers, (e.g. conference or working paper) • Newspapers • Websites • TV/Radio interviews • Personal communication • Others You must cite the origins of the information you are using, whether you have copied the words directly or whether you have paraphrased. • If in doubt----REFERENCE! 4RMIT University 2018 Referencing Whenever you rely on someone else’s work you must acknowledge that by providing details of the source. In this system, each reference is indicated in two areas of your work: • in the text (in-text citation) by using the name of the author(s) and the date of publication of the work. • In the reference list, where the full details of each reference, including the title and publishing details are given In-text citations There are two ways of referencing in-text: • Paraphrasing - ideas of the author(s) are expressed in your own words. • Direct quotes 5RMIT University 2018 How to reference in-text There are two options for in-text referencing • Adding the citation at the end of the sentence. • Using the author’s name as part of your sentence. • When paraphrasing include the author’s name and date of publication. e.g. – Lack of variability in a product is an important measure of its quality (Shannon 2003). OR – Shannon (2003) describes the role of statistics in minimising product variability. 6RM.
