Effective And Ineffective Communication

(Effective,Ineffective Communication)

o prepare for this Discussion:

  • Review Chapter 6 of your course text Writing and Communicating for Criminal Justice. Consider the elements of both effective and ineffective verbal communication (oral and written).
  • Review the article “What Do We Really Know About Witness Preparation?” Think about the process of witness preparation and how it relates  in the courtroom. Then consider how witness preparation impacts the benefits of effective communication and consequences  in the courtroom.
  • Review the article “Witness Preparation Training With Real and Simulated Criminal Defendants,” and think about aspects of effective communication that are relayed in witness preparation, as well as what benefits they may produce. Also, consider the consequences of ineffective courtroom communication that may result from a lack of witness preparation.
  • Review the assigned chapters in your course text Coping With Cross-Examination and Other Pathways to Effective Testimony, and think about the potential benefits and consequences of effective and ineffective communication in the courtroom.
  • Review the course media, “Chapter 5,” and focus on strategies for effective communication in the courtroom.
  • Review the course media, “Criminal Trial” and “ Civil Trial.” Select two examples of effective communication and two examples  in the courtroom. Then think about the potential benefits of the effective communication examples you selected, as well as the potential consequences of the ineffective communication examples you selected.

 

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the examples of  (in)&effective communication in the courtroom that you selected (two examples for each). Then analyze and explain the potential benefits of the examples of effective communication and the potential consequences of the examples you selected. Be specific and use examples to illustrate your points.

(Reaching out a Solution)

Instructions

Reaching out a Solution

This assignment is designed to assist you in developing a thoughtful process for advocating about an issue as a nurse, from identifying a problem that needs to be solved through articulating a process for doing so.

This assignment consists of answering each of the questions listed below from the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter of your course textbook. Write each question as a new topic area; then follow with a paragraph or two to answer the question. Be sure to use APA guidelines for writing style, spelling and grammar, and citation of sources, if any used. This project should be no longer than 4 pages.

Let us assume that you are a school nurse in a high school. At a recent school athletic event, a spectator suffered a cardiac arrest in the stands. A coach of the home team went into the high school to fetch the automatic emergency defibrillator (AED) only to find out that it was not readily available. In the meantime, an emergency squad arrived and resuscitated the spectator. On Monday morning, you learn of the absence of the AED only to find out that it had been locked in the custodian’s closet. Reflect on the following questions outlined in the “Political Analysis and Strategies” chapter:

  • What is the issue?
  • Is it my issue, and can I solve it?
  • Is this the real issue or merely a symptom of a larger one?
  • Does it need an immediate solution, or can it wait?
  • Is it likely to go away by itself?
  • Can I risk ignoring it?
  • What are the possible solutions? Are there risks to these solutions?
  • What steps would you need to take in order to solve the issue?
  • Does anyone else at the school need to be involved in the solution?
  • Where is the power leverage in the school to reach the preferred solution?

Reaching a solution requires the use of power vested in the nurse. Review Box 9-1 (Sources of Power) and determine which type(s) of power the school nurse has in this situation. State your reasons for your answer.

Submission Details:

  • Submit your response in a 4-page Microsoft Word document.
  • Name your document SU_NSG4068_W4_Project_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.
  • Submit your document to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned.
  • Cite sources in the APA format on a separate page.

PLEASE READ RESPOND TO THIS POST ACCORDINGLY USING APA AND REFERENCES AT LEAST 2 ( WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS WRITER DISCUSSED IN THE READING?

 

I selected the Iowa model of evidence-based practice.  Titler and colleagues initially developed the Iowa model of evidence-based practice in 1994 to provides direction

for the development of evidence-based practice in clinical agency were triggers that can be problem-focused evolving from risk management data, process improvement data,

benchmarking data, financial data, clinical problems, knowledge-focused such as new research findings, change in national agencies or organizational standards and guidelines,

an expanded philosophy of care, or questions from institutional standards committee initiate the change; and the focus should always be to make the change based on the best

available evidence (Grove, 2015, p. 483).

This model should be effective for implementing EBP in any area of practice as long as triggers are evaluated and prioritized based on the needs of the practice to prompt a

focused action from the organization, an action that is guided by the most appropriate evidence-based research practice available. Once the trigger is prioritized, a group is

formed to search for the best evidence to manage the issue and evaluate all factors such as cost, the strength of the evidence, and the impact of such evidence on the triggers.

This group will assemble relevant research and related literature, critique and synthesize the research for use in practice and if there is sufficient research base, it will proceed

and make changes as deemed necessary as the research progresses. Once the research is completed, results are evaluated and decision is made to make the changes as approved

at the organizational level.

Barriers to this implementation can be the lack of research evidence available on the effectiveness of measures to address the particular trigger; the transfer of evidence-

based research to a particular trigger might not produce expected results based on other factors independent from studies that produced the evidence in use. For example,

patients’ multiple chronic illnesses can affect their response to treatments, not all patients respond the same way to a particular treatment, regardless of the strength of the

evidence. Other barriers include the cost of implementation related to training staff. Effective EBP implementation at the practitioner and organizational levels within a health

care setting is essential to provide safe, effective and patient-centered care; nurses play a pivotal role to sustain the use of EBPs in clinical setting, and the contextual quality

of an organization that facilitate successful implementation should involve an organizational culture that is value-oriented and learning-oriented and receptive to change, and

a transformational leadership style determined by the leadership and practice of management (El-Mallakh at al., 2013, p. 42).

Nursing Public Perception: Media Influence

(Nursing Public Perception)

Question description

Please respond to the following post with a paragraph

Re:Topic 2 DQ 2

The general public is always very diverse in their thoughts and views as evidenced every day when people voice their political views or discuss food choices or banter back and forth about what cars they choose to buy. Nurses unfortunately, are not on any different spectrum when it comes to how they are perceived. Many people think that nurses are just transporters of patients or gatherers of supplies. They have learned all they know about nurses from watching hundreds of hours of television shows over the years where they show the doctors doing the work that the nurses usually do. Some people think that nurses are only there to take you to the bathroom or help you with a shower or bath. They have no idea what a Certified Nurse’s Assistant is or what duties they perform. Many times, throughout the work week in the Intensive Care Unit phone calls are received or friends or family of patients visit, and they want to talk to the doctor. Those requests are triaged and sometimes they can be valid because of a very complex situation but usually more often than not they are simple questions that the nurse or charge nurse is able to answer. That is something that is always mind blowing and makes one realize what little information that a lot of people think nurses know.(Nursing Public Perception)

Television plays the biggest role in people’s thoughts and understanding about what nurses do. Television has very unrealistic situations and very rarely shows nurses doing the actual work that they do on a daily basis. On the daytime show, “The View” one of the hosts mocked a nurse during a pageant asking why she was wearing a “doctor’s stethoscope.” This sparked national attention and debate. Many nurses took a stand and the program ended up losing some of their sponsors and had to issue an apology.

Clothing also creates a huge amount of confusion over what a nurse’s role is. Scrubs are worn by anyone and everyone that chooses to wear them whether they be a food services worker, a housekeeper, or a biomedical engineer. Anyone wearing a white coat that is male is usually perceived as a doctor, even when they have already verbally identified themselves to the patient and family as a nuclear medicine technician or echocardiogram technician. Medical assistants in physician’s offices are often called “nurses”. Many of them have a certificate in medical assisting from a college but this even is not always required for them to work in a physician’s office as it is up to the physician and office manager’s discretion.(Nursing Public Perception)

In order to educate the general public about the professional nurse’s role it would take a lot of work and a large number of nurses coming together to create change along with consistency of follow through year after year. Some suggestions (Summers & Summers, 2016) to start the education process would be for the nurse to project a professional image in all interactions. This would entail that when you meet someone you would introduce yourself as a nurse and include your last name as physicians do. Also, when performing your nursing assessment, you could describe your assessment and interventions as you perform them. This could help patients and family members to understand your professional knowledge and ask questions. As referenced above, clothing can play a big part in what the public may think a nurse’s role is. Cartoon characters on scrubs can seem childish and unprofessional unless worn in the correct limited setting. Nurses should work to maintain professionalism in their own attire, appearance, grooming and hygiene.(Nursing Public Perception)

Media portrayal of nurses has a huge effect on the public’s thoughts and knowledge of the nursing profession. Hospitals often have communication departments that highlight physicians on their bulletins or webpages. One way to promote the nurses in a facility (Summers & Summers, 2016) would be to form a work group to increase awareness of nursing achievements and innovations and publish those on a bulletin or webpage that is seen by the public and/or other facility employees. Many times, the media can get things wrong just as they can also get things right. Nurses can submit feedback to media outlets by giving positive reinforcement. This can be done by phone calls, hard-copy letters, email, twitter hashtags or other social media commenting. The same strategy can also be used when negative nursing portrayal is observed.

Assignment 2: Persuasive Paper Part 1: A Problem Exists 

(Persuasive Paper Part 1)

Using your thesis statement and research, present the problem that needs to be addressed with your proposed solution. Note: Your solution, advantages, and challenges, will be in Parts 2 and 3. You are only detailing the problem and making sure the reader thoroughly understands the need to read the next two (2) parts of your paper.

Write a three to four (3-4) page draft in which you:

1.Provide an appropriate title and an interesting opening paragraph to appeal to your stated audience (appeal with logic, ethics, or emotion).

2.Include a defensible, relevant thesis statement in the first paragraph. (Revised from instructor feedback on Assignment 1.).

3.Describe the history and status of the issue and provide an overview of the problem(s) that need to be addressed. You should break the issue down into multiple parts (called “problems” for this assignment). For example, if you were writing about jaywalking in a busy city, some of the problems associated could be (1) the lack of available crosswalks, (2) issues with technology like Walk/Don’t Walk signs and mobile phones, and (3) people’s disregard of established laws due to a sense of self-importance. There are several other problems that could be associated with this issue, but those are some ideas. This section should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.

4.Explain the first problem and provide support for your claims. This should be one or two (1-2) paragraphs.
