In a Microsoft Word document of 5-6 pages formatted in APA style, you will describe the advocacy process. Whether nurses are advocating for their patients, health care, and/or policies that improve people’s lives, the advocacy processes have commonalities that transcend the subject of their advocacy. There are also differences, although these differences may be more nuanced than obvious.

Review the following chapters from your course textbook:

  • Taking Action: Nurse, Educator, and Legislator: My Journey to the Delaware Senate
  • Taking Action: A Nurse in the Board Room

Respond to the following questions based on your readings:

  • Describe what you believe to be the drivers for each of the individual advocates.
    • What factors led the individuals to become advocates?
  • Discuss the challenges that each of the individuals identified in their writings.
  • Analyze these drivers and challenges and compare them with your own experience to date as an advocate.
  • In what ways do you believe you can expand your advocacy skills within the next five years?

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.

Homeland Security Final

Instructions

This week you will be submitting your final paper. Your final paper should consist of the following sections: 

Title Page of the Paper. The title of your paper should be brief but should adequately inform the reader of your general topic and the specific focus of your research. Keywords relating to parameters, population, and other specifics are useful. The Title Page must include the title, name, course name and number, and Professor’s Name. 

Introduction, Research Question, and Hypothesis: This section shall provide an overview of the topic that you are writing about, a concise synopsis of the issues, and why the topic presents a “puzzle” that prompts your research questions, which you will include. End your introduction with your research question. 

Review of the Literature: All research projects include a literature review to set out for the reader what knowledge exists on the subject under study and helps the researcher develop the research strategy to use in the study. A good literature review is a thoughtful study of what has been written, a summary of the arguments that exist (whether you agree with them or not), arranged thematically. At the end of the summary, there should still be gaps in the literature that you intend to fill with your research. It is written in narrative format and can be from 5-6 pages depending on the scope and length of the paper. 

As a literature review, this section should identify the common themes and theories that the prior research identified. In this section, what you do is look at the conclusions of prior research and identify what the common themes are you see in those conclusions. You then identify those themes. The APUS online library has some helpful information on what a literature review is: http://www.apus.edu/apus-library/resources-services/Writing/writing-center/graduate-writing/the-literature-review.html 

Methodology and Research Strategy: This section provides the reader with a description of how you carried out your qualitative research project, and the variables you identified and analyzed. It describes any special considerations and defines any limitations and terms specific to this project, if necessary. This section can be brief or more complicated, depending on the project, written in 1-2 pages. 

Analysis and findings are not the same as conclusions. In the analysis component of this section you identify how you analyzed the data. The second part is the finding you got from your analysis of the data. The findings are the facts that you developed, not your interpretation of the facts. That interpretation is conducted in the conclusions and recommendations section of the paper. Findings will come from the prior research you examined and your analysis of those prior findings to create new findings for your paper. While there may be some facts that are such that they will stand and translate to your paper, the intent is to create new knowledge, so you will normally analyze the data to create your own findings of what facts that data represents. 

Conclusions and Recommendations is the section where you give your interpretation of the data. Here you tell the reader what the findings mean. Often the conclusions and recommendations sections will mirror the findings in construct as the researcher tells the reader what that researcher sees as the meaning of that data, their conclusions. Then, drawing on those conclusions, the researcher tells the reader what they believe needs to be done to solve/answer the research question. This section may include recognition of any needs for further research and then finishes with a traditional conclusion to the paper as a whole. 

Remember, your paper should seek to answer a question that helps to solve the research puzzle you identified. 

Technical Requirements

  • Your paper must be at a minimum of 13-15 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).
  • Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content.
  • Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.
  • Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. 
  • Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.

I attached the final paper template that needs to be used for this assignment.

Also, I attached all the research papers that has been used to build up to this final paper.  This will need to be used to help to write the final paper.  The “Literature Review” is the most recent.   

Discussion Question (1 page required)

/in /by

Part 1: While physicians may want to participate in quality improvement (QI) initiatives in their practices, many barriers exist that prevent them from doing so.

  1. What are some of these barriers?
  2. If you were heading this program how would you involve physicians?

Part 2: Vaccinations

There are two clear sides to the question of whether to vaccinate children or not. Vaccines work by preparing a child’s body to fight illness. Do immunizations cause SIDS, multiple sclerosis, or other problems?

  1. Share your thoughts on the debate from a quality assurance perspective.
  2. How would you answer the parent who asks if immunizations cause the above mentioned illnesses or issues?

Response to reading AND student post (300 WORDS ONLY)

/in /by

First, choose one of your classmate’s post and answer the following questions: (150 words)

  • Based on the key features of Rogerian Argument described by your classmate, how might Rogerian argument lead to more “productive” public argument as we’ve described it? To answer this question, you might also answer need to answer the following question… 
  • Based on what we learned about “reactance” or the “backfire effect”, how might Rogerian argument bypass this response? 

(I uploaded screenshots for 3 of the classmates responses, please choose ONE of them to respond to!)

Second, read the Reddit: Change My View Example (Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/comments/3kxonz/cmv_all_children_should_be_allowed_to_bring_nuts/) and answer the following questions:

  • Based on the work your classmate has done, identify the Rogerian elements in this argument.  
  • How do those Rogerian elements help make this a persuasive  digital/public argument that actually has the ability to change minds? (150 words)

Reddit Link: In an effort to find an example of Rogerian digital/public arguments  at work “in the wild”, I came across this post to a Reddit subreddit  called r/changemyview. To give this argument some context this “sub” is a  message board in which the “original poster” (or “OP”) posts his or her  view on an issue, and responders, as the name of the sub suggests, try  to change that view. If the responder succeeds in changing the OP’s mind  (and changing the mind of others with a similar view) that responder is  given a “delta”, represented as a triangle.

So, for our purposes, you’ll just need to read the OP’s original view (that “all children should be allowed to bring nuts to school”) and the top response  that begins “I’d like to try to CYV as a person with a fatal nut/peanut  allergy” and ends with “…it is only fair that the environment be one  that accommodates them.”

Unfortunately, our anonymous responder has deleted his or her  account, so we cannot refer to him or her by screen name, but the post  clocks in at an impressive 12 “deltas” meaning that it really changed  some minds on this sub, (which also explains why it is the top post).

Welcome to the Blogosphere

/in /by

In Unit 1, your project asks you to consider how different texts enter into conversations with each other about a single social issue. This assignment is an opportunity for you to examine how social media can help affect change. 

For this discussion, you will select one blog from “The World’s 50 Most Powerful Blogs (Links to an external site.).” After selecting one of these blogs, read the overview about the blog included on this website. Then, visit the blog and look around so that you can post a reply to this discussion board that addresses the following prompt.

  1. What is the name of the blog you’ve chosen? What is the website where we can access the blog? 
  2. What is the main purpose/message of this blog? How do you know? (Is it explicitly stated in a mission statement, for example? Or is it implied?)
  3. Who is the intended audience of the blog? How do you know?
  4. Who is the author of the blog? Is the author a person, group, or organization? What can you find out about this author? For instance, do they have particular education, expertise, or experiences? Do they link to their other social media profiles? 
  5. How does the above information make them more or less credible to write this particular blog? 
  6. What appears to be the author’s purpose for writing this blog? For example, are they selling a product? Advocating for a specific cause? Receiving payment for expressing particular views? Initiating a call to action?
  7. Based on what you’ve discovered about the author, what biases might they have? How could this impact the perspectives they share and also those they choose to ignore? The information they post? The sources they use/don’t use? 
  8. Consider that this blog is included on a list of powerful blogs. Based on your analysis of this blog, do you think that this blog illustrates an ethical or unethical use of power? Explain.

PLEASE WRITE A RESPONSE TO THIS PSOST

PLEASE WRITE A RESPONSE TO THIS PSOST) 

Choose a country and explain which one of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) you believe is most relevant for addressing the global burden of disease in that country, and support why. Then, explain how achieving health related SDGs may impact global society in that country. Specifically, in your response be sure to discuss the means by which structural bias, social inequities and racism undermine health and create challenges to achieving health equity at organizational, community, and societal levels. Provide examples and remember to cite your sources.

At the beginning of the Millennium, world leaders convened at the United Nations to help tackle the issue of extreme poverty in all its forms by 2015. (UNICEF, 2014) This wide-ranging vision against world poverty began with the signing of the United Nations Millenium Declaration in which 189 countries participated. (UNICEF, 2014) From this declaration stemmed a set of quantified goals and targets called the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs).  The MDGs contained a set of 8 goals that targeted poverty-stricken countries and sought to improve problems surrounding international development. 

The country I am going to focus on for this week’s discussion is Nigeria more so the state of Borno. Target 6C of the MDGs aims to reverse and eradicate the incidence of malaria and other diseases. (WHO, 2021) In the northeastern state of Borno, Nigeria, the WHO estimates that every week 8500 people are infected with malaria. 3.7 million are at risk for this deadly disease. Civil strife as well as malnutrition and fragile governmental infrastructure often fuels the spread of the disease and hinders efforts to end this crisis. The state’s population is highly vulnerable consisting largely of children which constitutes for 58.8% of its total. (WHO, 2021) Only a little over half of this region’s health facilities function at partial capacity and many of its people don’t have access to regular health services that include routine vaccination and basic medicine. Though malaria is the number one killer in this region it is, however, preventable, and curable. (WHO, 2021) Scientists feel as though boosting malaria prevention and control is not often viewed as a top priority that requires an emergency response. 

Goal 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals contribute to ending epidemics such as malaria. (Global targets 2019) By increasing people’s access to health care, strengthening malaria surveillance systems, spring insecticides, and add administering malaria drugs to children under 5 every month would be a life saving endeavor. (WHO, 2021) Again, the conflict that exists within this country contributes heavily to why not much has been possible to achieve. Other benefits would arise from decreasing cases of malaria. As cases of malaria go down and people start to receive the healthcare that they need MDG 4 would greatly be affected in this country. MDG 4 is aimed to reduce child mortality under the age of 5. The World Health Organization and sector partners continue to make strides in the fight against malaria and improve the impact the impact of the disease in Borno. (WHO, 2021)

Assignment: Intersection of Sexuality, Gender, and Culture

Assignment: Intersection of Sexuality, Gender, and Culture

Most societies explicitly tie gender to sexuality. Think about the acceptance of boys “sowing their wild oats,” while girls engaging in the same behavior are “slut-shamed.” Gender may influence sexuality or sexual experience due to a culture’s socialization or enforcement of gender roles and expectations. Within the modern Western world, same-sex sexual orientation was perceived as deviant because it deviated from prescribed gender behavior of what it means to be a “man” (e.g., men have sex with women).

The experience of gender and sexuality becomes more complex when working with transgender and gender nonconforming clients. Individuals who are transgender or gender non-conforming may identify as heterosexual or as a sexual minority. Whether one is cis-gender (identifying with the sex assigned at birth) or transgender/gender nonconforming, gender will affect your sexual experience as you navigate gender performance with your sexual partners based society’s assumptions of your sexuality.

In the Assignment this week, you analyze the intersection of sexuality, gender, and culture.

The Assignment (2- to 3-page paper):

Use the five family life-cycle stages listed in the Sexuality in Adulthood Across the Family Life Cycle chart to organize your thoughts for this assignment. For this paper:

  • Explain the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation, and why it is important professionally to understand this difference.
  • Explain cultural influences on gender and sexuality. Consider both cisgender and transgender experiences.
  • Explain specific challenges an individual who is transgender or gender non-binary may experience related to their sexuality.
  • Explain how you would advocate within your professional role for gender variant clients.

Attached are 2 resources feel free to add more. Thank you.
