Discuss the social construction of childhood, evaluating the experiences of children throughout U.S. history as a reflection of broader cultural values. How have things changed over time? Which era did you find most interesting or surprising? Why?
Scenario
For the purposes of this project, imagine that you work on a team that monitors quality and risk management within the organization you selected. Whether you are coming from a nursing lens or a healthcare administration lens, your task is to analyze the healthcare quality metrics for the organization you selected. Based upon your analysis of the data, you will determine an opportunity for a healthcare improvement initiative for the organization. Then, you will provide a recommendation so that the organization can improve the quality and/or safety of its healthcare delivery. Finally, describe how you will evaluate the effectiveness of your plan.
Directions
Your report should contain the following sections:
Metric analysis: Analyze the healthcare quality metrics of your chosen healthcare organization based on their public data.
Interpret the data and metrics related to the effectiveness of a healthcare organization.
Assess the validity and quality of the healthcare quality improvement data that support the need for the improvement opportunity you will include in your report.
Derive insights and opportunities from the data.
Opportunity for improvement: Determine an opportunity for a healthcare quality improvement initiative for the healthcare organization you selected.
Explain how the metrics drive an opportunity for improvement.
Determine an evidence-based quality improvement tool for addressing an improvement opportunity.
Apply a problem-solving framework or tool to identify what could have been done differently based on the metrics and show and/or describe your application of the tool or framework.
Recommendation: Provide a recommendation for the organization you selected so that the organization can improve the quality and/or safety of its healthcare delivery and determine how to evaluate if your recommendations were successful.
Develop a healthcare quality improvement initiative using a framework, such as plan-do-study-act (PDSA), root cause analysis (RCA), and failure mode effect analysis (FMEA).
Determine an evaluation method for a healthcare quality improvement initiative for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months and describe that method in detail.
Reflect on the Resources related to digital information tools and technologies.
Consider your healthcare organization’s use of healthcare technologies to manage and distribute information.
Reflect on current and potential future trends, such as use of social media and mobile applications/telehealth, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled asset tracking, or expert systems/artificial intelligence, and how they may impact nursing practice and healthcare delivery.
Post a brief description of general healthcare technology trends, particularly related to data/information you have observed in use in your healthcare organization or nursing practice. Describe any potential challenges or risks that may be inherent in the technologies associated with these trends you described. Then, describe at least one potential benefit and one potential risk associated with data safety, legislation, and patient care for the technologies you described. Next, explain which healthcare technology trends you believe are most promising for impacting healthcare technology in nursing practice and explain why. Describe whether this promise will contribute to improvements in patient care outcomes, efficiencies, or data management. Be specific and provide examples.
Critical thinking is one of many vital skills that learners must develop in order to successfully examine research, analyze data, and complete a dissertation. Consider the characteristics and practices associated with the skill of critical thinking. Which of these are more or less beneficial or important than others? How does synthesis integrate into your view of critical thinking? (This response does not require research support.)
Instructions
Take a moment to review the parts of the brain and respond to the following questions:
Which part of the brain is responsible for problem-solving?
Which part of the brain is responsible for processing memories?
Which part of the brain processes emotion?
Create a study guide for language, speech and communication disorders. Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references, and you should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide should be informed by the DSM-5-TR but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources.
Areas of importance you should address, but are not limited to, are:
· Signs and symptoms according to the DSM-5-TR
· Differential diagnoses
· Incidence
· Development and course
· Prognosis
· Considerations related to culture, gender, age
· Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects
· Nonpharmacological treatments
· Diagnostics and labs
· Comorbidities
· Legal and ethical considerations
· Pertinent patient education considerations
Intimate trauma involves one person’s intentional violation of another’s body. The impact of intimate trauma on the survivor is distinct from that experienced by those involved in collective traumas. Issues of traumatic sexualization, identity confusion, safety, and powerlessness, among others, abound in intimate—or sexual—trauma survivors. Layered responses to sexual trauma refer to those that are more visible, such as depression or PTSD, as well as others that may remain hidden, such as suicidal tendencies. Layered responses complicate the recovery process, demanding specialized skills and interventions specific to the needs of the sexual trauma survivor. These needs are influenced by the survivor’s gender, age, and culture. Appropriate interventions can have a positive impact on the quality of recovery for the client, while inappropriate interventions can have adverse effects, leading to potential legal and ethical issues. Thus, it is important that you are adequately trained and prepared to provide services to sexual trauma survivors.
For this Assignment, Read the case study Sandra located in this week’s resources. Think about the effects of the trauma on Sandra and the interventions you might use to help Sandra deal with those effects. Consider the cultural, ethical, and legal issues related to Sandra’s treatment.
The Assignment (2–3 pgs):
Explain the effects of sexual trauma on Sandra.
Describe two specific interventions you might use to help Sandra deal with those effects.
Explain any cultural, ethical, and legal issues related to Sandra’s treatment.
Explain what might be different in the effects of the trauma and the interventions you might select if Sandra had been a male.
Analyze the ways in which farmers and industrial workers responded to industrialization in the Gilded Age (1865-1900)
NOTE–Your essay’s response should focus on the workers & farmers and how they were effected by rapid industrialization in the late 1800s. The essay should NOT examine the “Robber Barons” or big Industrialists themselves!
NOTE (more)—In order to answer this question using historical facts, you could employ:
P. Scott Corbett, US History (https://openstax.org/books/us-history/pages/preface) Chapters 17-20
Locke, The American Yawp https://www.americanyawp.com/ (Chapters 16-18)
