Nurse’s Role in Influencing the Legislative Process

/in /by

 No Extensions Teacher Strict! Homework Must be Correct

In a Microsoft Word document of 2-3 pages formatted in APA style, you will answer three questions related to your opportunity as a nurse and an advocate. The first two questions relate to influencing a bill that is traveling through the legislative process. The third question refers you to the social determinants of health and asks you to think specifically on your role as a nurse in influencing social determinants of health.

Answer the following questions:

  • What parts of the lawmaking process does a nurse have an opportunity to influence the final bill passage?
  • List at least two ways that this influence can take place. In your opinion, would one way be preferable over the other?
  • Reviewing the social determinants of health, select one to respond to this question:
    • What role can nurses play in promoting health status through policy changes directly affecting this social determinant?

Write each question as a new topic area and then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. You may find it necessary to search for answers to the questions outside of the assigned reading.

On a separate references page, cite all sources using APA format. Helpful APA guides and resources are available in the South University Online Library. Below are guides that are located in the library and can be accessed and downloaded via the South University Online Citation Resources: APA Style page. The American Psychological Association website also provides detailed guidance on formatting, citations, and references at APA Style.

1. Impairment Reversal

Look at the 2/22/2014 annual report of the British supermarket chain Tesco:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NCZAiqQSScxzpYaqmDwrd8H-6oxFKrmG/view?usp=sharing

Answer the following questions:

a. Did the company have any property, plant and equipment impairment reversals in the year ended 2/22/2014? How much?

b. Calculate the following ratio: Impairment reversals/Profit before tax for 2014. Were the reversals significant relative to the profit before tax? 

c. What are the Cash Generating Units in Tesco? How is impairment measured for each CGU? What was the explanation for the impairment reversals? Do the reversals include any goodwill impairment reversals?

d. What is the U.S. GAAP rule with regard to impairment reversals?

2.PP&E Impairment

The managers of ABC Company give you the following presentation:

“Times are hard for ABC. This year’s reservations for its new cruise liner are down 70% over last year. The liner’s carrying value is $70 million and at 85% budgeted capacity, was expected to generate a 23% rate of return over a 12-year total useful life.

Management expects the downturn in bookings to recover next year but does acknowledge that there is a 30 percent chance that they will remain at present levels (only 25 percent capacity). Due to the present global economic downturn, no one has expressed an interest in buying the cruise liner and, in a buyer’s market, ABC would not expect to receive more than $40 million for it.

Using probability-weighted cash flow forecasts, ABC estimates that gross (undiscounted) cash flows over the remaining 10 years of the cruise liner’s expected time in service will be $72 million. Present value of these cash flows is $55 million.”

Required:

a) What would be the impairment charge (if any) under US GAAP? 

b) What would be the impairment charge (if any) under IFRS?

c) You believe that some of the assumptions made in the cash flows forecast are too optimistic, especially in the last few years of the forecast. You believe that the undiscounted cash flows will add up to only $66 million, and that the present value of the payments will be $52 million. What would now be the impairment charge under IFRS and US GAAP?

d) Looking at your answer to part c, which standards system (U.S. GAAP or IFRS) do you believe is more sensitive to changes in assumptions of the cash flow forecast? 

3. Goodwill Impairment:

A company is testing a CGU for impairment at the end of 2020. The CGU has a carrying amount of $820 million which includes $350 million of goodwill. The cash flow forecast is for 10 years. The net cash flow from the CGU is expected to be $90 million in 2021, and to grow by 6% every year until 2025, and then grow by 3% every year from 2025 to 2030. The fair value of the CGU is $750 million (assume cost to sell in inconsequential). The company estimates that its discount rate (to be used in value-in-use calculations) is 7%. 

a. What is the goodwill impairment charge under IFRS? (Hint: you should use an Excel sheet to project the cash flows for the 10 years and then discount them to find value-in-use. Also assume that cash flows occur at the end of the year, so for example, the cash flow in 2021 is received only at the end of 2021). 

b. Assume the CGU is also a Reporting Unit (RU) under U.S. GAAP. What is the goodwill impairment charge under U.S. GAAP?

c. Repeat parts a and b, but now assume that the carrying value of the goodwill is only $35 million (out of the total $820 carrying value of the CGU/RU). In addition to calculating the goodwill impairment under IFRS and US GAAP, calculate the impairment required for the other identifiable assets in the CGU under IFRS, and explain why you may not have enough information to calculate the impairment required for the other identifiable assets in the RU under US GAAP. 

d. Go back to assuming that the carrying value of the goodwill is $350 million. Now assume that the company wants to do a sensitivity analysis and check what would be the goodwill impairment charge if assumptions were a bit more conservative, and specifically, if the growth of cash flow until 2025 would be 5% a year instead of 6%, and the growth in the years 2026-2030 would be zero instead of 3%. Solve parts a and b again with these new, more conservative, assumptions. 

e. (This part of the question is unrelated to the rest of the parts above). Assume a company has a Reporting Unit (RU) under US GAAP. In IFRS that RU would be split to two CGUs (CGU A and CGU B). Calculate the goodwill impairment under IFRS and US GAAP using the following information (do not include impairment of other identifiable assets):

Select a service sector organization and a product sector organization. Describe operations management for each organization in terms of the supply chain, the value-creating processes of operations, the value provided by operations to customers, and the relationship between operations and the overall mission of the organization. Then compare and contrast operations management in these two organizations.

To help you differentiate between a service sector organization and a manufacturing sector organization for purposes of this assignment, please note the following:

A service sector organization may provide some products with its services. For example, a patient receiving surgical services may also receive titanium pins in his or her knee. Similarly, a product sector organization may include some services with its products. For example, a plane manufacturer may include a pilot training course with a new plane.

In each case, however, either the service or product element is a dominant part of the overall value provided to the customer. This is why surgery is considered to be in the service sector and airplane manufacturing is considered to be in the manufacturing sector.

Your paper must contain the following titled sections:

  1. Introduction: Explain the purpose or thesis of the paper, specifically identify the two organizations that you have selected, and explain how the body of the paper is arranged to support the purpose of the paper.
  2. Service Sector Organization: You must name the organization in this section and briefly describe it, including its mission. In this section, you must have an in-text citation that refers to a source in your list of references that can be accessed by the reader to learn more details about this organization. You must also address:
    • 2.1 Supply chain.
    • 2.2 Operations.
    • 2.3 Value provided to customers.
    • 2.4 Relationship between operations and the organization’s mission.
  3. Product Sector Organization: You must name the organization in this section and briefly describe it, including its mission. In this section, you must have an in-text citation that refers to a source in your list of references that can be accessed by the reader to learn more details about this organization. You must also address:
    • 3.1 Supply chain.
    • 3.2 Operations.
    • 3.3 Value provided to customers.
    • 3.4 Relationship between operations and the organization’s mission.
  4. Comparative Analysis of Operations Management in the Two Organizations.
  5. Conclusion.
  6. References.

Requirements:

  • The length of the paper, beyond the title and reference pages, should be four to six pages.
  • References must include the course textbook, at least two additional current scholarly, peer-reviewed references (published within the past five years), and at least one reference for each of the organizations described (these references do not have to be scholarly references).

government 1

/in /by

 respond to their discussion answers

1.Should the government provide services, and if so, which level of government should provide what service? Should different levels of government rely on others to provide funding for those services? 

Yes, I believe the government should provide services, but the bigger question is, should it be more of the federal or state’s responsibility?  To me, that is the main issue here.  In reading Ch.4, it gives a detailed history of the federal government “loosening the reins” of some powers and giving the responsibility to the states; especially after World War II.  Before this, state governments relied heavily on the federal government and taxes on property as well.  That all changed after the war was over and kept changing from there on forward with each different President who took office.  Therefore, I believe the states should provide services such as water sanitation, but the federal government should provide the funding for the mandates and quality control and staff to monitor.

2. Who should pay for services rendered? Should all citizens pay equally, regardless of ability to pay? Are there services that should be considered a “right of civilization”, available to all regardless of income level? What about costs for issues that are of more concern to citizens in some geographic areas than others – Trump’s “wall”, for example, or cleanup of the Gulf of Mexico from the BP Deepwater spill? 

Regarding services rendered, that discussion can be a slippery slope and I can see the arguments on opposing sides of this topic.  In thinking about this I would lean more toward it should be divided equally amongst its citizens.  There are services I would consider to be “rights of civilization” and should be available to everyone, regardless of income status in their communities.  For example, social services, social benefits, emergency social assistance is managed and organized per their local government.  These services should be available to all in the community, even if they have no income.  Other examples of “right of civilization” would be clean water supply, police, and fire department services, etc.  Issues that are more geographic in nature should be a combination of a federal and state venture in my opinion. 

3. Should all services be privatized? The military? Essential utilities such as water or sewer? How should we decide what should or should not be.

I do think in some instances it is good for services to be privatized and history has shown that it has helped the overall bottom lines of some state’s economies.  Privatization of public services is nothing new, it has been happening at all levels of government.  The main arguments to privatize services are cost reduction, the transfer of risk and liability, create a sour4ce of revenue, and achieving a higher level of quality service.  Examples of privatized services include airport operations, waste collection facilities’, corrections, and lotteries.  So, all in all I believe some services should be privatized as I see the advantages to it but in other cases, such as the military, I do not believe that it should be privatized.  I feel in that case, the cons would outweigh the pros.

4. Should the federal government have the power to require states/localities to provide services, or require those services directly upon the individual?

I believe that the federal government should have the power to require states provide services for their citizens, especially for those services essential to keep an area civilized and safe as possible.  Essential services should be required and available to all.  I do not believe the federal government should take over or have absolute power, but they must work with the states and come up with a joint solution or put mandates in place.

Legal and Ethical Issues Related to Psychiatric Emergencies

/in /by

PLEASE FOLLOW THE instructions BELOW

4 REFERENCES

ZERO PLAGIARISM

The diagnosis of psychiatric emergencies can include a wide range of problems—from serious drug reactions to abuse and suicidal ideation/behaviors. Regardless of care setting, the PMHNP must know how to address emergencies, coordinate care with other members of the health care team and law enforcement officials (when indicated), and effectively communicate with family members who are often overwhelmed in emergency situations. In their role, PMHNPs can ensure a smooth transition from emergency mental health care to follow-up care, and also bridge the physical–mental health divide in healthcare.

In this week’s Assignment, you explore legal and ethical issues surrounding psychiatric emergencies, and identify evidence-based suicide and violence risk assessments. 

To Prepare

  • Review this week’s Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide about psychiatric emergencies and the ethical and legal issues surrounding these events.

The Assignment

In 2–3 pages, address the following:

  • Explain your state laws for involuntary psychiatric holds for child and adult psychiatric emergencies. Include who can hold a patient and for how long, who can release the emergency hold, and who can pick up the patient after a hold is released.
  • Explain the differences among emergency hospitalization for evaluation/psychiatric hold, inpatient commitment, and outpatient commitment in your state.
  • Explain the difference between capacity and competency in mental health contexts.
  • Select one of the following topics, and explain one legal issue and one ethical issue related to this topic that may apply within the context of treating psychiatric emergencies: patient autonomy, EMTALA, confidentiality, HIPAA privacy rule, HIPAA security rule, protected information, legal gun ownership, career obstacles (security clearances/background checks), and payer source.
  • Identify one evidence-based suicide risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.
  • Identify one evidence-based violence risk assessment that you could use to screen patients.

Human Resources Metrics and Dashboard Development

/in /by

 

Overview

For this assignment, you are the newest HR business partner in a large corporation and you have been given the task of leading the creation and deployment of an HR dashboard. Your supervisor, one of several directors reporting to the vice president of HR, has told the VP that you are an HRM MS Capella graduate and have completed coursework that supports HRM dashboards.

You are concerned about coordinating this task, collaborating with other areas in corporate headquarters, and gaining consensus. You already suspect it will be difficult to get some of the data you will need because that information is not controlled by HR. You will have to persuade several groups of directors (finance, marketing, operations, sales, and information services) to give you access to their data. You will also be coordinating with the benefits, compensation, and human resources information system (HRIS) areas within HR.

Your director has asked you to develop the initial concept of what the dashboard will contain and what it will look like. She also wants you to review other dashboards to give her an idea how yours might draw from the better features of the ones you review. As the content expert, you have been assigned two other people, from different departments, to work with you. One member is from the finance team and is an expert at data management. The other member is a website developer and is strong at coding and building dashboards.

Assignment Description

The dashboard needs to provide information about the company’s employees, but not too much information; you still have to think about protecting privacy. Your boss wants the dashboard to contain the following information about each of the company’s employees:

  1. Hire date.
  2. Job level.
  3. Length of time at current pay level (but not the amount of pay).
  4. Education level.
  5. Diversity category.
  6. Leadership development program participation (yes or no).

Your boss also wants to know the age range of each employee, but to protect privacy, you will need to represent age as a generational cohort, based on your research.

Assignment Requirements

  • Written communication: Demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through accurate communication of thoughts that convey the overall goals of the analysis and do not detract from the message.
  • References: Support your analysis with at least two academic, scholarly, or professional resources from the Capella University Library.
  • Format: Resources and citations are formatted according to current APA style.
  • Length: 10 PowerPoint slides, not including the references list.

GUARANTEED A SUBSTANCE ABUSE AMID LATIN AMERICANS 8-9 PAGES DUE 40 HOURS URGENT

/in /by

 

RESEARCH PAPER ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE AMID LATIN AMERICA EIGHT TO TEN PAGES sources listed at the bottomThe body of the paper (not including the title page, abstract, or references) should be 8-10 pages.  Reserve the use of direct quotes for the most significant information that it would be difficult to put into your own words and cite.  Do not use lengthy quotes (no quotes that are 40 or more words).  

 

Introduction: One paragraph where you introduce the paper. Do not use a heading for the introductory paragraph.  This goes below the paper title (centered and bold at the top of the first page of text, which will be p. 3). ½ page

Keep in mind, that each section below must be based on your research from journal articles (not blogs, newspaper articles, books, or book reviews).  There should be citations in each section of the body of your paper.  Do not use first person pronouns (I/we/me/my/myself, for example) as research papers are not based on opinion or personal perspective. While you can use our course textbook as an additional source, do not rely too heavily on it, as the majority of your paper should be based on current research from journal articles.

Cultural Awareness

In the first section, include recent research on the topic and culture.  Give recent statistics (prevalence rates, information on geographic or population clusters). Aim to include what is important for colleagues to know to best work with this population to meet the specific need you are researching. Some examples of information to explore here include: family dynamics (child-rearing practices, parental roles, obligations of children to parents, nature of relationships among family members, kinship bonds, gender roles, aging, extended family, clan, role of elders, tribal councils, etc.); political and economic concerns (poverty and income levels, value of education, unemployment, reservations/Bureau of Indian Affairs, immigration, etc.); communication (bilingualism, nonverbal/body language, personal space, problem-solving, silence, eye movement, music/dance/art as communication, concept of time).  3-4 pages

Counseling Approach

In the second section, identify specific strategies and approaches to use with this population to address the needs explored in the previous section.  Have you ever gone to a conference where the presenter spent the entire time talking about what the problem was, and you thought to yourself, now what?  This section is just as important as the previous section.  Devote equal space to researching and explaining strategies, approaches, and methods for meeting the need.  Identify specific counseling therapies and techniques that you believe would work best with this population, explaining why and how you would use this approach.  Some examples of popular counseling therapies include existential therapy, behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, rational emotive behavior-therapy, reality therapy, family systems theory, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and creative arts therapies.  I encourage you to look for non-Western based counseling approaches to write about in this section or consider how you could adapt Western-based approaches.  You may want to search for culture AND counseling; for example, Latin Americans AND counseling. 3-4 pages

Religious and Spiritual Application

In the final section, give biblical application to the topic you have been examining. Specifically examine counseling, life coaching, and/or human services from a faith-based approach.  For example, if your paper looked at substance abuse, explore research on faith-based programs, and discuss why this would be meaningful for the culture you are focusing on. Explore the unique beliefs, values, ways of thinking, and expressing faith, religion, and spirituality in the culture you are researching. What is typically viewed as the role of the church for this culture?  What is the common view of life after death?  1 page

Conclusion

End with a concise Conclusion paragraph where you summarize what you covered in the paper and include ideas for future research needed on this topic. ½ page

References

References: Begin on a new page.  Center (and bold) the References heading at the top of the page. You need at least 10 peer-reviewed journal articles dated within the past 5 years, in an alphabetized list. Every source that you include in the references should be cited in your paper.  Double-space.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the SafeAssign plagiarism tool.

The article allows readers to gain insight regarding the attributes of Latinos in the United States. There are several epidemiological surveys under review. These play a role in the current state of drug abuse today. It consists of a review administered since 2001 which expanded our information about the pervasiveness of substance abuse. It also causes disorders and simultaneous mental illnesses among Latinos. (Alvarez J;Jason LA;Olson BD;Ferrari JR;Davis MI;, 2018)

The annual penetration rate of opioid users accounts for 0.6-0.8 of the global population, and the most common age range is 15 to 64 years old. Not long ago, the term “opioid” has been used to identify naturally occurring alkaloids, synthetics, etc. In 2017, there was a declaration of the opioid crisis. In Latin America, the use of certain drugs by women over the age of fourteen is widespread. An in-depth research will clearly show that there should be a way to prevent the opioid crisis.

 US rhetoric on the drug war perceptibly shifted to a hyper-masculinization of the image of the drug fighter of the United States. This employed as a result of moral deterioration of the social body of the country by the feminization of drug use. This feminization of drug use was antagonized by hyper-aggressive male depictions of drug cartels in Latin America. It was aided by a feminized figure of said drug warrior, who acts for the positive protectors of idealized femininity. (Telles, A. C. (2019).

This journal discusses the lack of research in the mental health region.  It is said that the lack of the research in this mental health field has contributed to disease. It furthers into ways to encourage health services and research. “Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) has been increasingly encouraged in health services and research over the last two decades” (Troya et al., 2018) The concept had progressed and will be used in health research in Latin America.

The substantial difference between the goal of mental health policies and programs to become treatment oriented and the lack of consumer methods of recovery and assessment instruments informs this initiative.

The ultimate purpose of this journal is therefore to identify recovery and provide a framework in

assessing recovery from a consumer and informal profession viewpoint, based on a community in Latin America. Between the carers and consumers, there are set recovery goals. The studies will show more progressive ways to discuss mental health. Factor analysis and item content evaluation suggested the measure represented the unidimensional construct of Individual Recovery proposed in Studies 1 and 2. (Vera San Juan, 1970)

Case Study

This case is a 65-year-old married female with 16 years of education. She works full-time as an elementary school teacher. Her symptoms began suddenly one evening; her husband noted she referred to the dog food as “Jell-O” and called the television remote a “fork.” She appears to understand conversational language and can read and write normally, but is unaware of her paraphasic errors in speech.
