According to the text, crime has been part of the human condition since people began to live in groups. Ancient documents indicate that conduct we now call murder, theft, or robbery was identified as criminal by civilizations that existed thousands of years ago. Criminal laws regulate human conduct and tell people what they can and cannot do and, in some instances, what they must do under certain circumstances. In this assignment, you will explore different types of criminal conduct and the goals of criminal law.

Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:

  1. Determine whether or not a conviction is feasible when an alleged perpetrator does not have the required mens rea but has engaged in the actus rea. Provide a rationale to support your position.
  2. Explain the distinction between diplomatic immunity and legislative immunity. Next, support or criticize the premise that diplomatic immunity is vital for Americans abroad.
  3. Argue for or against the theory that the courts should not hold a defendant of questionable competency to the standard sentencing guidelines. Provide a rationale to support your response.
  4. Identify the four (4) goals of criminal law, and discuss the manner in which these four (4) goals effectuate the purpose of protecting the public and preventing the conviction of innocent persons.
  5. Use at least three (3) quality academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar type Websites do not qualify as academic resources.

The purpose of this assignment is to identify key stakeholders within your organization who are affected by, have influence over, or have an interest in solving the problem you are attempting to address with your action research project.

Stakeholder analysis requires you to examine a number of variables in relation to each individual or group you have identified. Use the “Stakeholder Analysis” spreadsheet to record the results of the stakeholder analysis.

In the analysis, list titles and groups of stakeholders. Do not list names of specific individuals. It is important to note the role each stakeholder has in the problem and solving it. Determine whether or not the individual or group has a negative, indifferent, positive, or very positive predisposition about the problem.

Within the “Stakeholder Analysis” spreadsheet is a tab labeled “Current-State Matrix.” Study the terminology related to influence and support and think about how each block describes the feelings a stakeholder may have about the problem and proposed solution. For example, there may be a group or individual that has a high degree of support in regard to solving the problem. If you know that person or group also has a high level of influence in how the problem is solved, it is important to think about how you will approach this person or group in terms of seeking information and presenting potential solutions. Taking time to rank the level of influence and support for each stakeholder is critical as you proceed because it may have a large role in determining whether or not specific problem solutions can be and are implemented.

Take the time necessary to conduct research that will help you determine possible stakeholder reactions and issues related to potential solutions. Think about the motivation, drivers, and expectations of exchange for each stakeholder, the problem, and the proposed solutions. Finally, consider the role of the stakeholder, including when the stakeholder needs to be involved in the change effort, any stakeholder management activities, and stakeholder deliverables and timelines. If a stakeholder will ultimately end up having a designated role in implementing the solution, the ability to articulate the role, scope, and timeframe will be of utmost importance.

Complete the “Stakeholder Analysis” spreadsheet and submit it to your instructor along with a 500-word summary of your findings. In the summary, discuss the following.

  1. Summarize stakeholder attitudes about the identified problem and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
  2. Summarize stakeholder attitudes or experiences related to previously implemented problem solutions and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
  3. Summarize stakeholder ideas for potential solutions and support your summary with specific data from your collection tool.
  4. Who are the stakeholders you will seek to act as sponsors to support you in the implementation of a problem solution? Provide specific reasons why these stakeholders are key to implementing a solution.
  5. Who are the stakeholders that will likely be directly affected by solving the problem? Provide specific ways these stakeholders could be directly affected by solving the problem.
  6. Who are the stakeholders who could pose potential roadblocks to solving the problem? Provide specific reasons why these stakeholders could pose potential roadblocks and what those roadblocks could be.

  • What were your initial thoughts on reading the AACN Information Systems/Technology Essentials for the DNP graduate?

As a future DNP-prepared nurse, I believe it’s essential for a more profound understanding of technology as technological advancements have drastically transformed the structure and organization of the healthcare sector. Today, nursing is not the same as it was 30 years ago. Technology is imperative for safe, competent, patient-centered care. Advances in technology assist healthcare personnel in performing their jobs and care for patients more efficiently and safely (Pepito & Locsin, 2018).

  • Did you find any of the essentials surprising? Why or Why not?

I did not find any of the essentials surprising because DNP-prepared nurses are prepared to keep up with the most up-to-date medical knowledge and stay current on evolving best practices. A DNP-prepared nurse holds a terminal nursing degree, the highest level of education available in the field; therefore, the nurse must remain competent in all aspects of patient care.

  • Describe the changes you have seen in your practice setting over the past five years that have been brought about by the use of technology and evidence-based practice.

My practice setting has implemented Telehealth  services and remote patient monitoring (RPM) for patients with chronic diseases to avoid unnecessary hospital visits. This allows providers to follow up with patients anytime, regardless of the care setting. In my current job, telemedicine was instituted due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak. This was an innovative way to fulfill patients’ healthcare needs and fill in the gaps in patient care (Liu et al., 2020). With telemedicine, patients with chronic conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease, receive improved access to care by cutting down the barriers in transportation and mobility issues to immobile patients. Telemedicine has ultimately improved access and acceptability to patient care in populations with low socioeconomic.

RPM is the foremost of these advancements. RPM systems are established on collecting patient vital signs, then transmitting them in real-time to healthcare providers. RPM has improved the provider’s ability to monitor and manage patients in their homes by using digital technologies to collect health data and electronically transmit it to providers for assessment (El-Rashidy et al., 2021). In my practice setting, we monitor patients’ vital signs, and if we notice any abnormal change, the patient is contacted for further evaluation. Also, we have a monitoring center that monitors and tracks patients’ vital signs, and if any critical vital signs are flagged, a provider contacts the patient to provide further treatment.

  • Describe the changes you expect to see in your practice setting over the next five years based on technology.

In the next five years, I foresee the implementation of RPM to have decreased hospitalizations and hospital readmissions due to chronic diseases. According to El-Rashidy et al. (2021), the incidence of chronic disease has developed along with the aging population, and hospital capacity is lacking to accommodate all patients. Treatment noncompliance of these diseases ends in frequent hospital readmission, which increases the burdens of hospitals and healthcare staff. By providing providers the ability to monitor and manage a patient’s condition remotely, treatment can be given timely and effectively (Vegesna et al., 2017). Therefore, decreasing the health care burden, promoting better care coordination, and reducing the patient’s stress level. 

  • How have these changes affected nursing practice in your setting?

These changes have positively affected my nursing practice by avoiding interruption in patient care and improve care between visits appointments with patients with multiple comorbidities. These systems are used for continuous monitoring, diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. Consequently, they reduce healthcare costs and improve patient outcomes by providing shorter frequent services to manage chronic diseases and prevent future complications. Telemedicine shows a tremendous promise to increase access to health care services, promote disease management, and promote in-between visit monitoring.

Overview 

Why should we reflect?

Critical reflection helps us to see and understand multiple perspectives, make new connections between our ideas, experiences, and thoughts, find flaws or strengths in our solutions to problems, think about alternative outcomes, consider new or additional applications, and gain meaning from an experience. Through reflection, we are able to transform experiences from mundane, meaningless activities to deep, meaningful learning.

Reflect & Compose

Reflect: Reflect on the discussions, interactions, readings, and practices you have experienced during this course. Ask yourself questions such as:

What have I learned during this course?

What “ah-ha” moments did I experience?

Keep in mind this is an introduction to management. What is still unclear to me that I need to research further or continue to work on?

This is an assessment of your contributions in the discussions. What did I contribute that made a difference to the learning of others?

In what ways will I apply what I have learned to the remainder of my courses and to my dissertation?

What actions do I need to take to continue my learning in the area addressed in this course?

What behaviors do I need to change to improve my learning experiences during the remainder of my courses and to my dissertation?

Compose: Write a substantial reflection of at least 500 words which represents roughly one page single spaced, 12-point font. I would like you to use a double space. I would also like for you to exceed the minimum.

Fitness Plan

/in /by

Each fitness program must be designed to meet the needs of your body, schedule, and fitness goals. Certain physical limitations, time commitments, preferences, and goals will provide the basic structure of your fitness training program. Once you have identified your needs and goals, you can construct a fitness plan that will be effective and convenient. A well-rounded fitness program will consist of both cardio and strength routines, and will vary from week to week. You will occasionally need to alter the type or increase the intensity of workouts to continue to see results. 

 

1 List a goal: weight loss, muscle strength, cardiovascular endurance, body building, sport training. Please include NUTRITION in your work out plan!

2 Having a goal will dictate the type of exercise you should build into your plan, amount of time and whether your plan will include dietary changes.

1 EXAMPLE: If your goal includes weight loss, strength training is essential to boost metabolism rates and burning more calories.If your fitness goals are targeted at an athletic event, such as a marathon, your program will include interval training. 

 

Limitations: Do you have any limitation? Injury, health issues

 

Time: The plan should last for one month! 

 

Include the type of workout you will need to match your goal. (circuit, weight training etc.)

Include your favorite cardio routines (jump ropes, walking, jogging, biking, playing a sport, swimming)

 

Develop a repertoire of strength building routines.

1 Dumbbells, machines, exercise balls, resistance bands.

2 If working out at home, invest in resistance bands or dumbbells or use body resistance such as push-ups, yoga or workout videos

soc pol week 7 discussion 2

/in /by

 

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources. Consider the role of family preservation in child welfare, the research regarding family preservation, and the assumptions about foster care. Think about whether you agree with the research, and whether there are any gaps in your state foster care system that might contribute to the assumptions. Reflect on the benefits and shortfalls of permanency planning and family preservation and which approach you prefer.

By Day 4

Post an explanation of the role of family preservation in child welfare. Then, explain whether research supports the assumption that foster care is harmful for children, as presented by the cornerstone argument for family preservation. Be sure to include whether you agree with this assumption and why you agree or disagree. Subsequently, identify the gaps in your state foster care system that contribute to the idea that foster care is harmful to children. Then, compare the benefits and shortfalls of permanency planning and family preservation. Finally, provide a description of whether you prefer the permanency or the family preservation approach as a child welfare social worker and why you prefer it.

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

By Day 6

Read a selection of your colleagues’ posts.

Respond to at least two colleagues by offering an insight for the comparison of benefits and shortfalls of permanency planning and family preservation your colleagues described based on your state’s child welfare policies.

Return to this Discussion to read the responses to your initial post. Note what you have learned and/or any insights you have gained as a result of the comments your colleagues made.
