Community Assessment, Analysis, Diagnosis, Plan, and Evaluation

Weekly Objective 4 is addressed in this assignment.

Needed Document: Final Paper Template

This activity is intended for undergraduate nursing students. In this activity, you will observe, think critically about, and report health issues in diverse community environments.

Community health nursing can improve access to care for the most vulnerable and hard-to-reach groups in any country. The community health nurse should combine knowledge of major indicators of health, social factors that contribute to declining health status, and public programs designed to address problems of health care. Efforts should encompass all levels of prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary) and should address the needs of the individual, family, aggregate, and community.

You will submit a formal APA Paper (see instructions in the template and the rubric).

Utilizing the information gathered on your selected community in from eight Sentinel City subsystems you have been working on throughout this class, write your assessment, analysis, nursing diagnosis, plan, and evaluation method (per the rubric) in APA 7th edition format.

You do not need an abstract. The order of the paper is as follows: the title page, the body of the paper (5-10 pages), a reference page. See the sample template provided.

Discusion

/in /by
  • Before there is any dialogue, the author goes to great lengths to describe the furnishings in the Younger’s home. Why does she do this and what does it say about the family’s life?
  • Is Walter a sympathetic character? How does he change throughout the course of the play? Have your feelings about him changed by the end?
  • What can you deduce about the character of Mr. Younger? What does his memory mean to the members of the family?
  • What does the Younger’s new house signify to Lena? To Ruth? Why is Walter so strongly against he idea of moving to the new neighborhood?
  • As a young black woman in the 1950s, what does Beneatha’s desire to become a doctor say about her character? What does it say about Lena’s character that she is completely supportive her daughter’s wishes? Why is Walter resentful of this?
  • Was Lena right to spend the money the way she wanted to? Should she have considered Walter’s wishes first?
  • Why do you think Lena changes her mind and gives Walter the responsibility of handling the money? Regardless of Walter’s subsequent actions, was this a smart decision?
  • Compare the personalities of Walter, George Murchison, and Asagai; how they different? Are they at all similar? How do they represent different archetypes of the “black man”? Would Beneatha be happy with either George or Asagai?
  • What is Karl Lindner’s goal? Do you think he believes that what he’s doing is right? How do the members of the Younger family react to his suggestions?
  • What is Beneatha’s reaction when she realizes that she will not be able to go to medical school? How does her attitude and her wishes change?
  • Is the ending a happy one? Is there any hope that the Younger family will prosper in their new neighborhood? Is it realistic to think that they will?

Need Help with SQL Server (Indexes)

/in /by

  Watch video Indexes In SQL Server 

1. Run the script file “Create database 1.sql”, this will create the database Index_Examples and two tables, dbo.raw_data, dbo.index_example. & it will insert 2000 rows of data into dbo.raw_data. Next run the script Script File for Index Assignment.sql”. It will insert 4,000,000 rows into the dbo.index_example table (id, first_name, last_name, birthday). If I created a database with more it will bog down your CPU. With 4 million rows, you will see the difference in time between a non-index query and an index query. You are looking for the SQL Server Execution Time.

2. Run the following queries separately and record the time it took to complete each (see attached document “Example of Solution of Index Assignment.pdf”). You will have to set up the query window to show statistics & time. Go to the pull down menu Query, click on Query Options, under Execution, Advance check the box SET STATISTICS TIME, click OK.

End-of-Life Care (including advanced directives, palliation) Topics to review: Article: Nurses roles and responsibilities Providing care and support at end of life. https://www.nursingworld.org/~4af078/globalassets/docs/ana/ethics /endoflife-positionstatement.pdf

For your initial post/ threat choose 1 focal point from each subcategory of practice, education, research and administration and describe how the APRN can provide effective care in end of life management

Using the American nurses association position statement, recommendations for improvement in end of life management focuses on practice, education, research and administration. Listed below are steps that nurses can take to overcome barriers in healthcare practice.

Practice

1. Strive to attain a standard of primary palliative care so that all health care providers have basic knowledge of palliative nursing to improve the care of patients and families.

2. All nurses will have basic skills in recognizing and managing symptoms, including pain, dyspnea, nausea, constipation, and others.

3. Nurses will be comfortable having discussions about death, and will collaborate with the care teams to ensure that patients and families have current and accurate information about the possibility or probability of a patient’s impending death.

4. Encourage patient and family participation in health care decision-making, including the use of advance directives in which both patient preferences and surrogates are identified.

Education

1. Those who practice in secondary or tertiary palliative care will have specialist education and certification.

2. Institutions and schools of nursing will integrate precepts of primary palliative care into curricula.

3. Basic and specialist End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) resources will be available.

4. Advocate for additional education in academic programs and work settings related to palliative care, including symptom management, supported decision-making, and end-of-life care, focusing on patients and families.

Research

1. Increase the integration of evidence-based care across the dimensions of end-of-life care.

2. Develop best practices for quality care across the dimensions of end-of-life care, including the physical, psychological, spiritual, and interpersonal.

3. Support the use of evidence-based and ethical care, and support decision-making for care at the end of life.

4. Develop best practices to measure the quality and effectiveness of the counseling and interdisciplinary care patients and families receive regarding end-of-life decision-making and treatments.

5. Support research that examines the relationship of patient and family satisfaction and their utilization of health care resources in end-of-life care choices.

Administration

1. Promote work environments in which the standards for excellent care extend through the patient’s death and into post-death care for families.

2. Encourage facilities and institutions to support the clinical competence and professional development that will help nurses provide excellent, dignified, and compassionate end-of-life care.

3. Work toward a standard of palliative care available to patients and families from the time of diagnosis of a serious illness or an injury.

4. Support the development and integration of palliative care services for all in- and outpatients and their families.

Collaboration

/in /by

 

Students collaborate with each other on the production process and decide the approach for each original play script. The “director” and each collaborator for each play will post a 250-word essay detailing their production concept and artistic approach. All collaborators must work together to create a unified “whole” for the production of each script. The creative team must work together to stage their “fantasy” version of their fellow’s original script.

Besides a director, a  team could consist of:

Set Designer

Costume Designer

Light Designer

Sound Designer

Properties Designer

Videoconferencing

/in /by

1- ( The first step in your proposal for a secure videoconferencing system is to develop a set of functional requirements for videoconferencing that you believe the media company will need based on its geographic dispersion and business needs. In developing those requirements, research three videoconferencing solutions such as Skype, GotoMeeting, Polycom, and Cisco Webex and explain their capabilities, advantages, and disadvantages. Identify costs as well as implementation and support requirements. The functional requirements and the three possible solutions will be a section of your Proposal for Secure Videoconferencing. In the next step, you will review the challenges of implementing those solutions.)

2 ( 

In the previous step, you outlined the requirements for secure videoconferencing for the company and outlined three potential solutions. Part of your final proposal should also include the advantages and disadvantages of the implementation options for the three systems you selected. This section of the proposal also must include the changes the media company will need to make to implement the systems.

Additionally, explain how system administration or privileged identity managementwill operate with these systems. You will also need to examine how data exfiltrationwill occur with each of the new systems.

The changes to the systems and challenges for the implementation of these potential solutions will be an important section of your Proposal for Secure Videoconferencing. In the next step, you will take a closer look at the track records of each of the potential videoconferencing vendors.)

3- ( 

You’ve finished outlining the pros and cons of three videoconferencing systems. Now, it’s time to take a close look at how they serve their clients. This will take some research. Look at the systems’ known vulnerabilities and exploits. Examine and explain the past history of each vendor with normal notification timelines, release of patches, or work-arounds (solutions within the system without using a patch). Your goal is to know the timeliness of response with each company in helping customers stay secure.

This step will be a section of your Proposal for Secure Videoconferencing.

In the next step, you will outline best practices for secure videoconferencing that will be part of your overall proposal to management.)

4-( 

The last few steps have been devoted to analyzing potential videoconferencing solutions. But obtaining a trusted vendor is just part of the security efforts. Another important step is to ensure that users and system administrators conduct the company’s videoconferencing in a secure manner. In this step, outline security best practices for videoconferencing that you would like users and systems administrators to follow. Discuss how these best practices will improve security and minimize risks of data exfiltration as well as snooping.

This “best practices” section will be part of the overall Proposal for Secure Videoconferencing.)

5- I want (   Executive summary: This is a one-page summary at the beginning of your Proposal for Secure Videoconferencing.)

6- ( Proposal for Secure Videoconferencing: Your report should be a minimum six-page double-spaced Word document with citations in APA format. The page count does not include figures, diagrams, tables or citations.)

1.  Most criminal justice agencies have some version of an internal affairs (IA) department. Hollywood has long portrayed IA as the enemy, investigating and looking to reprimand their own brothers and sisters in law enforcement, corrections, and the courts. Personnel who talk or report issues to IA are often characterized as rats or snitches, and there is said to be an unwritten rule known as the blue wall of silence.

Do you believe IA should be as concerned with the law enforcement officer who fails to report a known ethics violation versus the person suspected of the ethics violation? Should they (if proven to be guilty) both be reprimanded? Explain your position.

2. Marijuana was decriminalized in Canada in October 2018. Since that time, many Canadian police departments have implemented policies regarding officials using marijuana that would probably shock many Americans. For example, the Vancouver Police Department says that it will not impose any restrictions on their officers for using marijuana while off-duty. The only policy they will enforce is that all officers must be fit for duty when they report to work. It essentially holds them to the same standards as after-hours alcohol consumption

Changes are happening in the United States as well. In Atlanta, Georgia, which is a state where marijuana use is still illegal, the Atlanta Police Department will no longer ask applicants if they have smoked marijuana and consider its use as a factor in eligibility to join the force. They claim that they have lost too many qualified candidates when asking them about marijuana smoking.

Share your opinions, from both the perspective of a criminal justice administrator working in a state where marijuana use has been decriminalized and from the perspective of a private citizen, on whether criminal justice personnel (in states where it is legal) should be allowed to use marijuana while off-duty. Explain the rationale for your opinions.

Please keep them #, this are just Discussion Boards, no APA.

For this assignment, imagine that you are a healthcare administrator, and you have noticed that some of your employees have become a bit lax in how they present their personal image to the patients. There have also been recent instances of minor ethical infractions. You decide to hold a meeting with all of the employees to discuss this issue and retrain.

Develop a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 8–12 slides (not counting the title and reference slides) to share at this meeting. In the presentation, address the following topics:

  • the importance of personal image in patient care including appearance, grooming, and language;
  • the importance of maintaining personal and professional ethical standards;
  • the connection between communication, personality, and ethics and how they can work together to help employees present a professional image to patients; and
  • methods employees can use to improve their own personal images.

Be as creative as possible with this presentation. Try to grab your audience right from the start, and hold their attention throughout your presentation. You may use pictures or graphics or other forms of multimedia to illustrate your points. You are highly encouraged to utilize the Notes section of the presentation to add additional talking points to enhance the message you want to get across.

In addition to your textbook, you must use at least one peer-reviewed source and one source from a reputable, industry-specific website (e.g., government entities, nonprofit organizations). All sources used, including the textbook must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations. All references or citations used must be in APA style.
