ZERO PLAGIARISM

TOPIC: Mild Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Traumatic Brain Injury

Neurocognitive disorders (NCD) such as delirium, dementia, and amnestic disorders are more prevalent in older adults. As the population ages and as life expectancy in the United States continues to increase, the incidence of these disorders will continue to increase. Cognitive functioning such as memory, language, orientation, judgment, and problem solving are affected in clients with NCDs. Caring for someone with a neurocognitive disorder is not only challenging for the clinician, but also stressful for the family. The PMHNP needs to consider not only the client but also the “family as client.” Collaboration with primary care providers and specialty providers is essential. Anticipatory guidance also becomes extremely important.

In this Discussion, you will integrate several sources of knowledge specific to NCDs as you discuss evidenced-based therapies used to treat these disorders.

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Analyze diagnostic criteria for neurocognitive disorders
  • Analyze evidence-based psychotherapy and psychopharmacologic treatment for neurocognitive disorders
  • Evaluate benefits and risks of neurocognitive therapies
  • Compare differential diagnostic features of neurocognitive disorders

Post:

  • Explain the diagnostic criteria for your assigned neurocognitive disorder.
  • Explain the evidenced-based psychotherapy and psychopharmacologic treatment for your assigned neurocognitive disorder.
  • Identify the risks of different types of therapy and explain how the benefits of the therapy that might be achieved might outweigh the risks.
  • Support your rationale with references to the Learning Resources or other academic resource.

Teachers of young children are pivotal in helping families create a foundation for their child’s future success and well-being. Teachers who build relationships with their students and families help ensure learning continues at home to support the success of students. Children’s emotional, social, and physical development has a direct effect on their overall literacy development.

Literacy bags are a wonderful method for encouraging at-home literacy development. Sending children’s books home with an activity to support reading, writing, listening, or speaking can improve emergent readers’ skills.

Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation for other teachers that explains the benefits of literacy bags and how families can use them at home.

Your presentation should include:

  • Explanation of a literacy bag and its value in increasing family involvement.
  • How using literacy bags at home would build home/school connections that benefit the learning needs for all students.
  • An example of two literacy bags. Each example should describe: 
    • A selected book that is related to math, science, or social studies.
    • Two activities to support literacy, one of which should involve the use of technology to connect with the learning community.
    • A method for the families to communicate the outcome of the activities to the teacher.
  • Explain how you will collaborate with students and their families to establish mutual expectations and ongoing communication to support learner development and achievement.
  • A title slide, reference slide, and presenter notes.

The digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

Support your presentation with 3-5 scholarly resources.

The Application of Data to Problem-Solving

/in /by

  

In the modern era, there are few professions that do not to some extent rely on data. Stockbrokers rely on market data to advise clients on financial matters. Meteorologists rely on weather data to forecast weather conditions, while realtors rely on data to advise on the purchase and sale of property. In these and other cases, data not only helps solve problems, but adds to the practitioner’s and the discipline’s body of knowledge.

Of course, the nursing profession also relies heavily on data. The field of nursing informatics aims to make sure nurses have access to the appropriate date to solve healthcare problems, make decisions in the interest of patients, and add to knowledge.

In this Discussion, you will consider a scenario that would benefit from access to data and how such access could facilitate both problem-solving and knowledge formation.

To Prepare:

  • Reflect on the concepts of informatics and knowledge work as presented in the Resources.
  • Consider a hypothetical scenario based on your own healthcare practice or organization that would require or benefit from the access/collection and application of data.      Your scenario may involve a patient, staff, or management problem or gap.

1. Write a description of the focus of your scenario. Describe the data that could be used and how the data might be collected and accessed. 

2. What knowledge might be derived from that data? 

3. How would a nurse leader use clinical reasoning and judgment in the formation of knowledge from this experience?

According to Potter (2011), the human “fight or flight” reflex prepares the body to respond to a threat perceived by increasing blood pressure and heart rate; these physical changes help us either fight the perceived threat or run away to safety. I often wonder what role this automatic physiological response has to sensory and informational overload. Although the brain is hard-wired to automatically perform some tasks, near-constant media exposure means that our brains have to find ways to cope with informational overload on a daily basis (Potter, 2011). Two ways in which our brains cope are to multi-task and to prioritize. Efficiency is a possible substantial benefit of multitasking, but sometimes multitasking means none or some of the tasks are not done thoroughly. Prioritizing can help create order because it determines which tasks need to be completed first, and which can wait (Potter, 2011). Personally, although prioritizing is a necessary part of life, often there is so much information that prioritizing can mean leaving some important tasks or steps out.      Has anyone ever experienced a “fight or flight” response to the stress of information overload? I have, my reactions to it tend to vacillate between tackling everything I need to do at once or procrastinating- leaving everything until the last minute.

Evaluating Potential Partnerships

/in /by

Overview

As globalization has become increasingly common, so has the importance of analyzing opportunities to create value through outsourcing the supply chain. In this assignment, you will create a checklist to help determine which country might be the best location for parts of your organization’s supply chain.

Scenario

You are a consultant who specializes in helping U.S.-based businesses expand into new international locations. You have a new client who’s looking to outsource their company’s manufacturing of hard drives and computer memory, and it’s your job to assist in selecting the new locations. The company is very focused on quality, sustainability, and equality, and your client would like these attributes upheld in the new manufacturing locations.

Your task is to evaluate two of the following countries:

  • India
  • Mexico
  • Thailand

Then, recommend one country you believe would be the most suitable for the company’s new manufacturing facility, and one country that would be considered the least suitable.

Prompt

Evaluate both countries being considered for a new manufacturing facility through exploration of course and outside resources. Then, recommend the most and least suitable location based on the company’s attributes and requirements.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

  • Sustainability Measures and Environmental Regulation: Briefly describe sustainability measures and regulations in each country, and analyze how they may work well with or create conflict or tension with your U.S.-based company.
    • Examples of items to consider include regulations around pollution, waster, and power sources.
  • Cost and Workforce: Briefly describe each country’s workforce for the creation of computer components and the cost of that labor.
    • Examples of items to consider include workforce education levels, the overall cost of labor, types of manufacturing available in the country, and the existence of a specialized workforce that can create computer components.
  • Government Regulation: Briefly describe the overall regulatory environment of each country. Take the most likely mode of entry into consideration for each country.
    • Examples of items to consider include the types of manufacturing operations allowed in the country, the labor regulations, and the overall business regulations.
  • Intellectual Property: Briefly describe the risk of intellectual property being stolen by creating a manufacturing location in each country.
    • Examples of items to consider include each country’s reputation when it comes to intellectual property, intellectual property regulations, and any other legal protections for intellectual property.
  • Reputation: Briefly describe the ways an organization can face reputational risk through outsourcing its manufacturing to each country.
    • Examples of items to consider include if and why other organizations have closed manufacturing locations in each country, how your organization’s customer base will view manufacturing in each country, and the protections each country provides to its workforce and the environment.
  • Recommendations: Based on your evaluations of the key attributes and requirements, recommend one country that is the most suitable location for your client’s new manufacturing facility, and one country that would be the least suitable location. Justify your recommendations with evidence from your evaluations and the course resources.

Guidelines for Submission

Submit this assignment as a 500- to 750-word Word document. Sources should be cited according to APA style.

Comprehensive IT PROJECT

/in /by

 

Scenario

You have been asked to be the project manager for the development of an information technology (IT) project. The system to be developed will allow a large company to coordinate and maintain its records of the professional development of its employees. The company has over 30,000 employees, who are located in four sites: Atlanta, GA; Houston, TX; Chandler, AZ; and Schaumburg, IL. The system must allow employees to locate and schedule professional-development activities that are relevant to their positions. Sophisticated search capabilities are required, and the ability to add scheduled events to the employees’ calendars is desired. The system needs to support social networking, which will allow employees to determine who is attending various conferences and events. This will promote the fostering of relationships and ensure that the company has representation at important conferences.

Once an activity has been completed, employees will use the system to submit the documentation. The system should support notifications, which will allow managers to receive notice whenever their direct reports have submitted documentation. The system should also notify employees if their deadline to complete a professional-development requirement is approaching and it has not yet been completed. Because the expenditure has been approved for the project, it is now time to justify the start-up of the project with a business case.

Using the above scenario, develop a business case and project charter (3 pages total). Include the below listed components identified with “(Unit 1).”

  • Section 1: Business Case (Unit 1)
    1. Description of the problem or opportunity being presented to the business
    2. Costs and benefits of each alternative solution
    3. Recommended solution needed for approval
    4. List of alternative solutions, feasibility of each in a table, and the selected solution
  • Section 2: Project Charter and WBS (Unit 1)
    1. Identify project vision
    2. Define scope of project
    3. List project deliverables
    4. List roles and responsibilities
    5. List risks, issues, and assumptions
  • Section 3: Project Plan and Requirements (Unit 2)
  • Section 4: Architectural Views (Unit 3)
  • Section 5: Transition Plan (Unit 5)
  • Appendix A: Ethics (Unit 1)
    1. Using the PMI ethics resources (found in the useful links below) as reference, explain ethical and professional considerations in the management of this project.
    2. Prepare a Word document between 2 and 6 pages in length. You may use a Project Charter template as the foundation of your Word document.
