  Assignment 05: Respondeat Superior

Assignment

 Task: Submit to complete this assignment

Prior to completing this assignment, you must complete your own research to find a court case. Log in to the NAU Library and locate the Nexis Uni database. There, search for a court case that involved a negligence suit against a health care corporation on the basis of respondeat superior. In other words, you will be looking for a case where a plaintiff alleged that a corporation’s employee committed a negligent act within the course and scope of employment. The plaintiff is thus attempting to hold the defendant corporation liable for the employee’s conduct. (Please be sure that the case you choose is NOT a case you are already using for the term paper assignment.) 

Directions

Using the court case you found through your own research, respond to the questions below:

1.What were the allegations against the defendant? What is the employ alleged to have done that constituted negligence?

2.Was there any dispute that the alleged acts of the employee occurred within the course and scope of employment? If so, what factors did the court discuss in deciding that question?

3.Imagine you are an administrator at the defendant corporation. How would you have reacted when your company was first served with this lawsuit? What steps would you have taken to investigate the allegations? What policy or procedure changes, if any, might you think about implementing to prevent a similar occurrence in the future?

Choose one of the formats below in which to submit your assignment:

.A 2-page paper of no fewer than 500 words, written in APA style with all references cited;

.A PowerPoint presentation of no fewer than five slides, not including a title slide and reference slide. You must include at least three visual elements such as diagrams, images, or illustrations; or

A video of at least 5 minutes in length where you discuss the case and your answers to these questions on camera. Upload the video to a hosting service such as YouTube and provide the link in the assignment dropbox.

No matter which format you choose, remember that you must include the full citation to the case.

Activity 5

Develop a work breakdown structure (WBS) for each of your two or three alternative solutions to your performance problem.

The link at the end of this paragraph leads to the IT Economics WBS reading, which includes an explanation of how to develop a WBS and illustrations of work breakdown structures. The illustrations can serve as a model for your preparation of Activity 5. The explanation and illustrations should give you an idea of the level of detail appropriate for the WBS required for each of your two alternative solutions.

******************************************************************************************

 Activity 6

Perform a risk analysis on each of your two or three best alternative solutions to your performance problem. 

The reading from IT Economics Corp., Risk Analysis of Alternative Solutions, includes a risk analysis template along with five broad risk criteria and their definitions. Also, there are three examples of the use of the template to document a risk analysis. Use this template and the risk criteria to conduct and document a risk analysis for each of your alternative solutions.

 In using this template for this course, you are not expected to do as thorough a risk identification as would be required in an actual project. You are expected, though, to identify the major risks associated with the alternative solutions for your project. Also, you need to have a minimum of two viable alternative solutions after you perform the risk analysis and screen out any too-risky solutions. The two best alternative solutions are needed in order to use the remaining templates. The risk analysis can help you to identify areas in which risk mitigate strategies can and should be used.  

Using the databases within the CSU Online Library, locate a scholarly, peer-reviewed article that relates to the workforce planning process, forecasting, planning, or staffing.After reading the article, you will compose an article critique. Your critique will be at least two pages in length, and in the critique, you will include the following:

• Key points: Identify three significant/key points from the article.
• Summary: Write a section summarizing the article. Do not simply use information from the article. The summary must be in your own words. You must display your thoughts, opinion, and analysis.
• Analysis: Identify how the article aligns with and relates to concepts learned in this unit. In this section, be sure to:
  • Discuss the staffing planning process as well as the workforce planning process and how it impacts future business activities.
  • Explain steps taken for an organization to forecast its workforce supply and demand.
  • Contrast internal and external forecasting decisions.
• Personal Evaluation: What do you find to be valid or invalid in the article? Do you agree with the author’s assertion(s)? Explain why or why not.

Your article critique must be at least two pages in length. At a minimum, you must use your chosen article as a reference, but other resources may be used if needed. Be sure to cite and reference any sources used in APA format.

Case Study

The hospice nurse sat with Ann’s husband, Ben. Ann was resting quietly as the increased dosage of IV pain medication gradually reached its therapeutic level. Ben turned his head and slowly turned, looking out the room’s only window. As he glanced up, a small flicker of light caught his breath. It was a shooting star. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and he turned to Ann. The nurse sensed that something significant to Ann and Ben was unfolding. Shuffling to Ann’s bedside, he took her small fragile hand in his. These hands had rocked cradles, burped babies, and groomed the horses she loved to ride. Gently holding her hand, he turned to the nurse. “She would ride like the wind was chasing her.” Looking back to Ann his voice broke; choking back tears “Ann, Ann I saw Jessie…Jessie is calling.” Ben turned “Jessie was our daughter. She died having a baby that was too big. When she died it was a pitch-black night. Cold, so cold, the baby died too, a little boy, named him Abe, Jr. after Jessie’s husband. I took Ann outside so she could cry to God above and there in this dark sky we saw two falling stars…together…just falling. We knew it had to be Jessie and Abe…two angels to light up the night.” Ben turned back as a deep sigh escaped from Ann’s lips. A soft smile remained as she joined Jessie and Abe.

• Based on this case study how would the nurse actualize Parse’s theory of Human Becoming?
• What are characteristics of a human becoming nurse?  What are strengths and weaknesses to this theory of nursing?
• What challenges exist for healthcare institutions to switch to this nursing approach?
• How might Parse’s understanding of transcendence guide the nurse, as Ann’s death became a reality to Ben?
• From the nursing theories we have discussed, what additional theory would you apply to this case study? Develop a plan of care to include both nursing theories (be specific and provide reasons)
