Movie Clip

You just viewed a scene from the movie “Anna & the King” starring Jody Foster. Anna (played by Jody Foster) has just arrived in Thailand from her home country of England. King Mongkut is the beloved King of Siam (now Thailand). Before becoming King (at the age of 47) he spent 27 years as a monk. During this long seclusion, he acquired a profound knowledge of Buddhism, which people say made him the compassionate person he was. He also intently studied science, English and western philosophy. Many attribute this to his accomplishment of Keeping Thailand as an independent country while many other Asian countries became colonies of the French, British, etc. during this period in history. King Mongkut ruled during the mid-1800. Anna is in Thailand to be the tutor for the King’s children.

In this particular scene, she is being introduced to the Prime Minister as she has just arrived at the Royal Palace.

Japan

First meetings with Japanese are akin to opening ceremonies. If the first meeting physically takes place in a Japanese office, from an American point of view, it may seem formal to the point of being ritualistic. Nothing is left to chance. From the time that the business visitor arrives at the door and is appropriately greeted to the time that he is seen off from the sidewalk in front of the office building as his car or taxi pulls away, attention will have been given to every detail, including seating arrangement and refreshments and, perhaps even to what artwork is to be hung in the meeting room that day.

Seating arrangements both in private homes, restaurants, and even in offices during meetings are very important to Japanese and are treated with close attention. Who sits where is a genuinely sensitive matter even for relatively small gatherings. Japanese guests feel that they have been treated well when the seating arrangements are done properly in accordance with formal rules.

While informality and casualness are the concrete expression of hospitality in the United States, Japanese feel that they are being treated hospitably if things are done according to form. It is simply a mistake to tell Japanese guests to “sit wherever you like.” In Japan, an employee who fouls up the seating arrangements for an important occasion involving upper-level management can actually get demoted.

To arrange the seating of the Japanese guests correctly, it is necessary to know something about traditional Japanese rooms. The principles that apply there are carried over into Western-style rooms and even office conference rooms.

Every formal traditional Japanese room has a tokonoma. A tokonoma is a discrete area along one wall of a room that is a designated place of honor. The tokonoma can be identified by the artwork that is hung there, traditionally a scroll, or where perhaps a flower arrangement or sculpture is placed. It is considered the best spot in the room. The functional equivalent of the tokonoma in an office may simply be the wall on which the most expensive painting hands or simply the location of the best view if the room is in a glass-walled high rise.

In the traditional Japanese seating arrangement, the highest-ranking guest is placed with his back to the center of the tokonoma. Lower-ranking guests are positioned on either side on him in order of descending rank. The host group is seated on the guest group’s left flank with the highest-ranking member of the host group closest to the guest group. The lower ranking guests sit along the right flank of the higher-ranking guests, that is, facing the hosts. The traditional arrangement described may be modified in international meetings and sometimes must be modified to accommodate positioning of interpreters.

  • Relate this to what the text says about The Business Context.
  • Define what the text says about The Business Context—be specific and give examples.

Lost Boys of Sudan

As in much of Africa, war is an old and seemingly intractable reality for the people of Sudan. In fact, civil war has largely defined the country in the world’s eyes ever since it gained independence in 1956 from Egypt and the United Kingdom. In the ensuing 40 years, rebels from the country’s southern provinces – populated by black who practice African Traditional Religion and Christianity – have fought periodically against a Sudanese government dominated by the country’s largely Arab, Muslim northern population. The war has cost an estimated 2 million lives from fighting and famine, as the government and an array of southern rebel faction’s battle back and forth across a devastated landscape, with no apparent end in sight. The United States and other countries have tried to help the orphaned children due to these wars.

  • Relate what the text says about Culture Shock Versus Adaptation (CH – Cultural Biases & Intercultural Contact) to what you viewed in the clip from “The Lost Boys of Sudan.”
  • Define Culture Shock Versus Adaptation.

Ambulatory Care

/in /by
  1. Ambulatory care encompasses a diverse and growing sector of the health care delivery system. Physician services are the chief components. Hospital outpatient and emergency departments, community health centers, departments of health, and voluntary agencies also contribute important services, however, particularly for underserved and vulnerable populations.
    Today, patients have many options for how and where they spend their money. That includes selecting a health care provider. Hospitals seek to achieve the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award to excel in improving quality patient care and to be more competitive in health care. (For more information, see What is the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA)?) St. David’s HealthCare reviewed its operations and knew it was critical for the organization to continually improve. St. David’s HealthCare adopted Baldrige criteria.
    Scenario
    Recall, in the SWOT PowerPoint assignment, you were hired as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of We Care Hospital and one of your first tasks was to conduct a SWOT analysis of the HIT system at the hospital. Review your SWOT. You have now been working at the health care facility for several months. The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) would like to become more competitive in the health care market and to show their patients that they are one of the top-rated hospitals. The CEO asks you to review the Malcolm Baldrige requirements to help improve emergency room waiting times. Your research found a trend analysis at St. David’s HealthCare facility that earned them the Malcolm Baldrige Award. According to the ASQ Knowledge Center, in 2008, wait times were over 45 minutes and steadily declined to just over 15 minutes in 2014.
    Instructions
    Write a three to four-page paper in which you: 

    1. Research peer-reviewed journal articles on how to achieve clinical quality in ambulatory care and identify best practices.
    2. Analyze the triage status of emergency department visits in the United States. (Hint: See Figure 5-3 in the textbook.)
    3. Provide a recommendation to the CEO on whether We Care Hospital operations can potentially meet the Malcolm Baldrige award criteria. Why or why not? Justify your response.
    4. Use at least three recent (within the last five years) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as academic resources.
    5. This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
      The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:
    • Prepare a recommendation for achieving clinical quality in ambulatory care based on research of best practices.
  2. By submitting this paper, you agree: (1) that you are submitting your paper to be used and stored as part of the SafeAssign™ services in accordance with the Blackboard Privacy Policy; (2) that your institution may use your paper in accordance with your institution’s policies; and (3) that your use of SafeAssign will be without recourse against Blackboard Inc. and its affiliates.

Letter of recommendation assignment

/in /by

 THIS IS A THREE(3) PART ASSIGNMENT

PART 1.) Be sure to review the Mock Form Letter (linked in Resources) prior to completing this assignment, taking care to avoid making any of the errors shown in the letter.

Use the research you conducted in Unit 4 on using SSRIs, specifically Celexa, to treat dysthymic disorder, and consider the following scenario:

As a psychologist or counselor you have determined that a client you are seeing has persistent depressive disorder and would likely benefit from an antidepressant medication.

Create a one-page letter to the client’s primary care physician indicating your opinion that your client would benefit from this medication. Be sure to follow APA or ACA ethical guidelines when creating your letter.

PART 2-3 BELOW

Addressing Childhood Disorders With Psychotropic Medications

This is a two-part discussion. 

Part 2.)

Most available psychotropic drugs were not originally normed and developed for use on children, in part because psychotropic treatments historically were used primarily on adults. Additionally, concerns about the developmental impacts of such substances on children and related ethical issues have prioritized caution to avoid doing harm. It is important to note, however, that it is common for the same psychotropic medications given to adults to also be given to children. For this discussion:

  • Identify and analyze the position of the article you located on this subject.
  • Discuss your views on giving adult medications to children. Include an evaluation of the effects of psychotropic medications on children’s neurotransmission and hormonal systems and the limitations of psychopharmacology with this population.
  • Be sure to properly cite and reference your articles in your post, including the URL for the article.

Part 3.)

Children are being diagnosed with mental illnesses that did not exist 10 years ago or were only diagnosed in adults. Diagnosing a child with a mental disorder and treating this disorder with pharmacological agents may be fraught with controversy. These disorders include the autism spectrum disorder, bipolar and related disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and many others not previously considered in children. For this discussion:

  • Identify and analyze the position of the article you located on this subject.
  • Discuss the following:
    • Explain how your views on this particular disorder and treatment with medication for children with this disorder did or did not change after reading your article.
    • If you could prescribe medications, what challenges would you have in prescribing medication to a child with this disorder? Provide rationale and evidence to support your view.
    • Describe any specific child or youth developmental concerns you may have about prescribing or not prescribing to children.
  • Be sure to properly cite and reference your articles in your post, including the URL for the article.

 

*******use the Internet or the library to locate and read:

  • A recent journal article (no older than 5 years) that discusses the use of adult psychotropic medications on children.
  • A recent journal article (no older than 5 years) that discusses one mental illness generally associated with children.This may include the autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or other mental disorders including bipolar and related disorders.
  • This may include the autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or other mental disorders including bipolar and related disorders.

****Please separate part 1 from parts 2-3. THE ATTACHMENT IS ONLY FOR PART 1. Thank you!

Policy/Regulation Fact Sheet

/in /by

 

 

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.

With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.
  • Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
  • Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page not including the title and reference page)

Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:

  • Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.
  • Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.
  • Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.
