Scenario

You are the risk manager for a local community hospital. You have just attended a Joint Commission Resources conference. Part of your role is to educate employees of the organization on practical solutions and implementation tips to maintain accreditation.

The Joint Commission requires that organizations seeking accreditation provide education and training to staff on areas such as populations served, team communications, coordination of care, reporting unanticipated adverse events, fall reduction programs, and early warning signs of change in patients’ conditions.

As an independent, not-for-profit organization, the Joint Commission accredits and certifies nearly 21,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. Joint Commission accreditation and certification is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards.

Instructions

You must create an infographic that addresses at least one key initiative involving patient safety. Your infographic may highlight practices that serve to mitigate risks specific to patient falls, infection control to reduce the occurrence of hospital-acquired infections, or medication safety procedures. Your infographic should address the following:

• Design a plan to mitigate the risk associated with your chosen topic.
• Include examples of potential risks, explain the possible root cause, and propose a preventive strategy.
• Your infographic should incorporate figures, graphs, and/or charts.

Reading Response #4, on Sigmund Freud’s “Uncanny” 

• Each reading response entry should begin with a quotation from the required reading. It should be a quote of a passage that you have a question about and that interests you in some way.
• After you’ve posted the quotation, you need to try to articulate a question that you have about that passage, and that relates to something in the reading that is of interest to you. The question should be explained over at least five sentences. This will give you the opportunity to develop your thinking about the reading in a meaningful way. Do not simple restate facts, or summarize what you’ve read or viewed. We’ve all read it and we DO NOT need you to rehash the plot, the major themes, etc… You should be engaging with this material in a way that reflects what you’re thinking about it. That’s what’s most important here.
• Each entry should refer directly to the specific passage that you quoted from. You may want to relate this passage to another passage in the reading, or to a broader idea but the question needs to be based in the passage itself.
• You will also be required to respond to at least one of your classmates’ reading responses. Be sure to engage in a meaningful, respectful way with their ideas. Don’t just say “I agree” or “that’s a bad idea.” Try to use your engagement as an occasion to produce new ideas. 

Reading responses are graded, and in order to receive full credit, they need to reflect careful reading and thinking. Reading responses that don’t demonstrate that you’ve done the reading will not receive credit. For instance, if you write, as a question, “Why did you have us read this?” or, “What other books did this author write?” or “What does the author want to say to us?” then you won’t receive credit. Be specific, referencing the reading/viewing material and engaging with it, and you’ll do fine.

In order to complete assignment #1 you will need to answer the below questions. Please complete the questions in a Word document and then upload the assignment for grading. When assigning a name to your document please use the following format (last name_Assignment #1). Use examples from the readings, lecture notes and outside research to support your answers. The assignment must be a minimum of 1-full page in length with a minimum of 2 – outside sources. Please be sure to follow APA guidelines for citing and referencing source. Assignments are due by 11:59 pm Eastern time on Sunday.

Privacy is a concept that is rapidly evolving in relation to the most public of mediums, the Internet, which became even more super-charged with social networking websites. In a recent California election, one ballot measure, Proposition 8, asked voters a question on marriage. Donors to the Prop 8 campaign found that their names, addresses, and amount of contribution were masked up with Google Maps and thus rendered into a format showing the world a map image of donors’ names, street addresses, and dollar contributions. All this data is public record information already, but still quite inconvenient to access. What are the side effects of this action?

   There are multiple different definitions of intelligence, however there is one definition by which it is typically defined. This definition states that it is the capacity of which a person can learn, process, and adapt to information in their environment. An intelligent person typically is better at problem solving, grasping concepts, focusing their attention, reasoning, and have a good working memory. Intelligence is dependent on culture, though. What is seen as intelligence in one culture may vary in another culture. For example, in the United States of America, intelligence is centered around mathematics and good grades. Intelligence in another culture might be centered around problem-solving of a different nature, such as how to direct water towards a village. (Sternberg & Sternberg, 2012)

Theory of Multiple Intelligences

            Howard Gardner proposed the theory of multiple intelligences in 1983, due to not believing that intelligence was as easily defined as the definition I gave previously. He proposed that intelligence can encompass many different areas, such as existential, musical, kinesthetic, visual-spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, logical, and naturalistic. Interpersonal and intrapersonal involve one’s ability to be aware of others’ emotions, behaviors, and believes and their own. (Conti, 2021)

Emotional Intelligence

            I think to say that emotional intelligence is not an accurate measure of intelligence would be silly. Even by the generic definition of intelligence, a musician with musical intelligence has to be able to learn from their past experiences of playing music, process that information, and adapt it to the new musical number they are working on. The same goes for emotional intelligence. In order to accurately read people, one must be able to learn from previous experiences of similar people, process how that information is going to apply now, and adapt their abilities to interact with people. Being able to communicate effectively with other individuals is important. You could be a doctor with all of the knowledge in the world on hip replacement surgery, but if you cannot effectively communicate with the person who needs the surgery, how could you convince them to go through with it?

 Metacognitive processes involve an understanding of mental strengths and weaknesses. Trying to measure cognitive processes is one approach, but understanding one’s cognitive processes is another. One way we could see is whether or not someone adopts a strategy to remember items, but this is recorded in hindsight. Are there any other ways you could see improvements made the study of metacognition in intelligence?
