  • What’s interesting or helpful in this view?
  • What would I notice if I believed this view?
  • In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?

1. Read the excerpt about critical thinking processes: The Believing Game and How to Make Conflicting Opinions More Fruitful [PDF].

Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.

For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care?

In this Discussion, you will reflect on a national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the development of polices to address that issue.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module 1.
• Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined.

Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples.

As a special educator you will be asked to provide information to the Multidisciplinary team in your school to help them determine if they have enough information to proceed.  Often this will be in the form of a Summary Memorandum.  In addition to reading the Announcements, prepare for this discussion by reading the Required Resources, the Week Five Instructor Guidance and the scenario provided below.  In addition, review the Comprehensive Report Part I and II located in the Instructor Guidance:

Scenario: At the request of the MDT Leader, you have been asked to compose an Evaluation Summary for the Evaluation Committee (EC) team describing all the findings of theMDT.  These findings include Parts I and II of the Comprehensive Report from the school psychologist, Manuel’s Present Level of Performance (PLOP), his strengths, his areas of need, and your recommendation for accommodations and interventions for Manuel.

Initial Post: Using the memorandum in the Instructor Guidance as a model, post a response formatted as a memorandum to the Multidisciplinary Team.  The memorandum should include the following:

• A summary of the findings about Manuel thus far, including Parts I and II of the Comprehensive Report from the school psychologist and Manuel’s Present Level of Performance (PLOP), his strengths, and his areas of need. 
• A description of additional information the IEP team needs, if any.  Base your response on the information in chapter 18 and your additional required resources.

Justify your conclusion with specific information related to Manuel and the information from chapter 18 and pages 265-267 in the Pierangelo and Giuliani (2012) text.

Choose one of the learning experiences below and write a 250-word essay response.

1.  Search online for “free medline.” You will probably find several  websites that offer this feature. Search for research abstracts on  “cancer and exercise.” Review at least six abstracts (articles no more  than five years old). Based on the conclusions of these studies, how  beneficial is regular exercise for cancer patients? How would you market  your services to clients that have cancer? Be sure to cite your work.

2.  Research the benefits and risks of exercise and youth. List at least  five resources (resources no more than five years old) and summarize the  research findings in your own words. Is resistance training safe,  effective, and beneficial for young people? Why or why not?

3.  Watch a diabetes educator and/or nurse perform a blood glucose test on a  diabetes patient. If you have the resources, knowledge, and are  comfortable, take your own blood glucose after intense exercise. What is  the number? What does it mean for you? What would it mean for a  diabetic? How could you incorporate blood glucose results into your  exercise practice?

4.  Write down three or more special population groups for whom you would  use a water exercise therapy program. What types of movement routines  would you perform? What types of strength training would you  incorporate? What precautions would you take?

5.  Identify at least two women who have regularly exercised before and  after pregnancy with very little “down time.” What precautions did they  follow? What alterations did they make to their normal training routine?  If they were to do it again, what changes might they make? Do these  follow the guidelines presented in your course text? How will the  information you have gained from this learning experience guide your  training recommendations for clients who are pregnant?

6.  Seek out a competent sports medicine expert–medical doctor,  chiropractic physician, nurse, or physical therapist–and review some of  the sports-medicine conditions outlined in the course text. Are these  outlines specific enough? Are any sports-medical conditions left out  that should be included? What else can you do to better prepare yourself  in assisting your clients to seek competent sports-medical assistance?

7.  Visit a chiropractor and discuss as many of the therapeutic modalities  as s/he uses. Where do you, the personal trainer, fit into the  chiropractor’s rehabilitation practice? Where do you fit in the process  of ensuring the continuation of care as well as the prevention of future  injury/ailments?

8.  Attend a basic first-aid course and explain how the information  gathered in the course will be specifically helpful to you as a  certified personal trainer. (NOTE: First aid and basic adult CPR/AED are  separate topics. Some courses combine both. First aid is the topic of  this learning experience. CPR/AED is a co-requisite to earning your  certification.)

9.  Research the steps involved in launching a new personal training  business and develop a business plan. Find out where to obtain your DBA,  business checking account, and liability insurance. Create all of the  necessary forms for your business including your resume, rate sheets,  policies, consent forms, health history questionnaires, and anything  else that you deem professionally appropriate. You might design a logo  or flyer for the business as well. Lastly, include a description of any  difficulties you encountered as you navigated the business set-up  process. Copy and paste this information into the text box provided as  part your response.

My proposal is why kids should play multiple sports while growing up.

A Better Way—A Proposal: How do we work toward common goals creatively and find ways of approaching issues and problems productively rather than getting locked into divisive either/or debates? The purpose of this assignment is to find both common ground and different approaches. In April, we’ll read about different issues such as approaches to food, health, and the environment; issues surrounding sports, play, and reading for children; and questions about identity, civility, justice, and free speech. We will brainstorm other issues, questions, and ideas we want to explore together. I have reserved space toward the end of the semester to include readings on issues of importance to the class. As we discuss readings and issues, we’ll work together to generate ideas rather than immediately take a side.

Proposal assignment: Think about one of the tensions, problems, or questions we’ve read about this semester. In your opening paragraph, define that problem or issue for your audience, using at least one source we read in class, and explain why it’s important. Then, in your thesis statement, propose a specific way of dealing with that problem or issue. For example, you might take a position different from one of the authors, respectfully but clearly showing another way to approach the problem or issue. Or you might agree with the author but apply his or her ideas to a more current situation. You will then provide support for your proposal. As you support your proposed approach, use at least one of our readings and two other sources. Make sure you limit the scope of your proposal so that you can present and support it in four pages. Use a range of evidence—such as personal experience, published research, interviews, etc.—to support your proposal and present and interpret your evidence clearly. Length: 4-5 pages.
