Informatics & Application of New Knowledge

Question description

Prepare for interprofessional stakeholders a 10–12-slide presentation (not including title and reference pages) explaining how nurse leaders can use information technology to improve nursing practices that support and sustain positive patient outcomes. You do not need to actually present your assessment but be sure to include speaker’s notes for each slide.

The dissemination of evidence-based practice outcomes helps nurses build stakeholder engagement and support for the use of information system and technology for health care delivery.

SHOW LESS

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

  • Competency 1: Describe the importance of effective scholarship and evidence-based information to advance the profession of nursing.
    • Describe the basic differences between research (qualitative and quantitative) and evidence-based practice (EBP).
    • Describe how nurse leaders use evidence-based practice to support and sustain patient-care outcomes.
    • Describe how theory development and research exploration supports nursing practice changes that increase positive patient outcome.
  • Competency 3: Explain the use of information management tools and technologies to monitor and improve health care delivery and patient outcomes.
    • Identify a nursing practice that has recently changed in a specific health care setting.
    • Describe how nurse leaders use communication to build interprofessional stakeholder engagements.
  • Competency 4: Communicate in a manner that is consistent with expectations of a nursing professional.
    • Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics.

    To deepen your understanding, you are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of the business community.

    • How do you manage and lead technology use?
    • What will the future of health care delivery look like as you contemplate technology development?
    • What should nurses be prepared for within the context of technology use to develop improved patient care (from a strategic standpoint)?
    • How do we translate new technology knowledge into patient care to develop evidence-based practice?
    • How do we maintain patient safety and continue to improve patient outcomes as we increase technology use in health care?

    For this assessment, imagine a group of interprofessional stakeholders involved with patient care in your health care setting would like to increase positive patient outcomes. Nurse leaders have recommended changes in the practice that incorporate informatics and the application of new knowledge into your nursing practices.You are asked to present a brief overview using PowerPoint (or some other presentation software) to a small group of student nurses. After the session has concluded, the training department would like to use your presentation as a training resource.

    PREPARATION

    Select a nursing practice in your own health care setting that has changed for the better since you first began nursing.

Perfect Reason and Moral Will

Perfect Reason and Moral Will

(Perfect Reason and Moral Will)

What happens when reason is perfect and perfectly controls the will?

It is clear from what has been said that all moral concepts have their seat and origin completely a priori in reason, and indeed in the commonest human reason, just as in that which is speculative in the highest measure; that they cannot be abstracted from any empirical and hence merely contingent cognition; that their dignity to serve us as supreme practical principles lies just in this purity of their origin; that every time in adding anything empirical to them one takes away as much from their genuine influence and from the unlimited worth of actions; that it is not only a requirement of the greatest necessity for theoretical purposes, when only speculation counts, but also a matter of the greatest practical importance to draw its concepts and laws from pure reason, to set them forth pure and unmingled, indeed to determine the scope of this entire practical but pure rational cognition, i.e. the entire faculty of pure practical reason, and in so doing not – as speculative philosophy may well permit, indeed at times even finds necessary – to make its principles dependent on the 4:412 particular nature of human reason, but because moral laws are to hold for every rational being as such, already to derive them from the universal concept of a rational being as such, and in this way (as should be possible in this species of entirely separate cognitions) completely to set forth all moral science – which for its application to human beings needs anthropology – first independently of this as pure philosophy, i.e. as metaphysics; well aware that without being in its possession it would be futile, I do not say to determine precisely for speculative judging the moral element of duty in everything that conforms with duty, but impossible to found morals on their genuine principles even for the merely common and practical use, principally of moral instruction, and thereby to effect pure moral dispositions and to engraft them on people’s minds for the highest good of the world.

(Perfect Reason and Moral Will)

However, in order to progress in this work by its natural steps not merely from common moral judging (which is worthy of great respect here) to philosophical, as has been done elsewhere, but from a popular philosophy – that goes no further than it can get by groping by means of examples – to metaphysics (which does not let itself be held back any further by anything empirical and, as it must survey the totality of rational cognition of this kind, perhaps goes up to ideas, where even examples desert usk), we must trace and distinctly present the practical rational faculty from its general rules of determination up to where there arises from it the concept of duty. Every thing in nature works according to laws. Only a rational being has the capacity to act according to the representation of laws, i.e. according to principles, or a will. Since reason is required for deriving actions from laws, the will is nothing other than practical reason. If reason determines the will without fail, then the actions of such a being that are recognized as objectively necessary are also subjectively necessary; i.e. the will is a capacity to choose only that which reason, independently of inclination, recognizes as practically necessary, i.e. as good.

If, however, reason all by itself does not sufficiently determine the will, if it is also subject to subjective conditions (to certain incentives) that are not always in agreement with the objective ones; in 4:413 a word, if the will does not in itself completely conform with reason (as is actually the case with human beings), then actions objectively recognized as necessary are subjectively contingent, and the determination of such a will, in conformity with objective laws, is necessitation; i.e. the relation of objective laws to a will not altogether good is represented as the determination of the will of a rational being by grounds of reason, to which this will is not, however, according to its nature necessarily obedient. The representation of an objective principle in so far as it is necessitating for a will is called a command (of reason), and the formula of the command is called imperative. All imperatives are expressed by an ought, and by this indicate the relation of an objective law of reason to a will that according to its subjective constitution is not necessarily determined by it (a necessitation).

They say that to do or to omit something would be good, but they say it to a will that does not always do something just because it is represented to it that it would be good to do it. Practically good, however, is what determines the will by means of representations of reason, hence not from subjective causes, but objectively, i.e. from grounds that are valid for every rational being, as such. It is distinguished from the agreeable, as that which influences the will only by means of sensation from merely subjective causes, which hold only for the senses of this or that one, and not as a principle of reason, which holds for everyone.*

Personality Characteristics & Criminal Behavior

/in , , , /by

Personality Characteristics & Criminal Behavior

(Personality Characteristics & Criminal Behavior)

A particular set of personality characteristics does not  turn a person into a criminal. However, criminals may have the same set  of characteristics. This concept may not be easy to understand. Here is  another example: all college graduates have attended college, but not  everyone who attended college is a college graduate. The mistake that  “if A then B” is the same as “if B then A” is a common one in research,  criminal investigation, and profiling.

Criminal profiling is a difficult task. Complete the following three parts and present them in your report.

Part I

Identify at least five offense characteristics of each  of the following crimes: sex offense, murder, acquisitive crime,  organized crime, and terrorism.

Part II

Choose two offenses for those listed in Part I. Using the selected characteristics, complete the following for each of the two offenses you selected:

  • Analyze the selected characteristics to develop a forensic profile  for that particular type of offense. For example, how would you use the  two offense characteristics you have selected for murder to develop  inferences regarding the personality of a murderer?
  • Explain how an offender’s level of cognitive and emotional  functioning, as well as social and environmental factors, could  contribute to his or her maladaptive behavior in each of the above  offenses.
  • Identify and justify the types of tests and/or personality measures  that might be used to gather additional information for each of the two  offenses.
  • Identify and justify the type of collateral information you would  need to learn about the offender in the case of each of the two crimes.

Part III

  • Identify the differences between ethical standards in a criminal  investigation and ethical standards in a psychological interview.
  • Offer your recommendations for future research needed to advance the science and research of psychological profiling techniques.
  • Discuss the different ethical considerations one must follow as an investigator and as a psychologist.

Support your responses giving reasons and examples from eight to ten scholarly resources.

Write a 7- to 9-page report in a Microsoft Word document. Apply APA standards to cite sources.

Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and  organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate  representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate  spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Performance Assessment: Exploration Of Humanities

(Performance Assessment: Exploration Of Humanities)

EXPLORATION OF HUMANITIES

Competencies:
129.1.1: Foundations of Humanities – The graduate assesses the development of humans through the study of key concepts, disciplines, and primary influences of the humanities.
129.1.2: Classical Period – The graduate analyzes the primary contributions and characteristics of humanities during the classical period.
129.1.4: Renaissance – The graduate analyzes the primary contributions and characteristics of humanities during the Renaissance.
129.1.6: Neoclassicism – The graduate analyzes the primary contributions and characteristics of humanities within the neoclassical and Enlightenment period.
129.1.7: Romanticism – The graduate analyzes the primary contributions and characteristics of humanities during the romantic period.
129.1.8: Realism – The graduate analyzes the primary contributions and characteristics of humanities during the realism movement.

Introduction:

“My own answer to what the humanities are for is simple: They should help us to live. We should look to culture as a storehouse of useful ideas about how to face our most pressing personal and professional issues.” – Alain de Botton, author and educator (MindEdge, Inc., 2014)

From your studies, you have seen how culture, belief systems, and exposure to the arts affect the way people view the world. Learning about these differences in perspective helps us to have a better understanding of what it means to be human. When we understand and value the humanistic point of view, we bring creative solutions and fresh new ideas to the challenges we face in our personal and professional lives. We are schooled in the fundamentals of close analysis, critical thinking, and teasing out the complexities of issues which have no simple right or wrong answer.

In this task, you will write an analysis (suggested length of 3–5 pages) of one work of literature. Choose one work from the list below:

Invervention Proposal.

(Invervention Proposal.)

In Week Three, you created a literature review around the scenario  that you selected in Week One. For the Week Six assignment, you will  create an intervention proposal that contains a professional  recommendation for the chosen case study. The Intervention Proposal  should incorporate any feedback that the instructor provided in the Week  Four Literature Review or Week Two Annotated Bibliography assignments.

In a 10- to 12-page paper (not including the title page or references page) the student will:

  • Briefly restate the problem from the chosen case study.
  • Compose a thesis statement  that contains the student’s professional recommendation. The thesis  statement should be located near the end of the second paragraph of the  report.
  • Explain the relevant theories and empirical studies that have led to  the student’s professional recommendation. The explanation must include  evaluations of seven to eight, peer-reviewed articles from the  Annotated Bibliography that was created in Week Two. At least one of  these articles must be about a specific empirical study. In addition,  the explanation must:
    • Evaluate each article (comparing and contrasting them with the other articles) and answer the following questions:
      • What was the researchers’ research question?
      • What was their hypothesis?
      • How many participants did they have?
      • Was the research design method appropriate for that particular hypothesis? Was it valid?
      • Did their findings support the hypothesis?
      • What are the implications?
      • What are the limitations?
    • Discuss the opposing sides to the student’s recommendation and explain:
      • Why it is relevant.
      • Why it should be considered.
      • Why it should be discounted for this recommendation.
    • Discuss any limitations or gaps in existing research.
  • Restate the professional recommendation in one to two concluding paragraphs.

The paper must include a title page and references page, and it must be formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

Organization tip: It is best to start with the least  related and most broad article and move toward the most relevant. It  can be helpful to think of the organization for this report as a funnel:  The articles evaluated should get more and more specific and narrow in  breadth throughout the report.

Language Note: This report is being written for an  audience that is not familiar with the theories and material that are  discussed. This means that the paper needs to be accessible to all  individuals. All technical terms, acronyms, and theories should be  explained and jargon should be avoided.

The Intervention Proposal

  • Must be 10 to 12 double-spaced pages in length (not including title  and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in  the Ashford Writing Center.
  • Must include a separate title page with the following:
    • Title of paper
    • Student’s name
    • Course name and number
    • Instructor’s name
    • Date submitted
  • Must use at seven to eight peer-reviewed sources that were all  written within the past ten years, in addition to any seminal works that  should be included.
  • Must document all sources in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
  • Must include a separate reference page that is formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writ

Diabetes: Types and Treatments

(Diabetes: Types and Treatments)

Research Paper On Below Topic MSN

APA format 3 pages long with 4 references 2 from Walden University Library

According to the American Diabetes Association, nearly 26 million children and adults have been diagnosed with diabetes in the United States. Approximately 2 million more are diagnosed every year, with another 79 million people considered to be at a pre-diabetic state (ADA, 2011). These millions of people are at risk of several alterations including heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, neuropathy, and blindness. Since diabetes has a major impact on the health of millions of people around the world, it is essential for advanced practice nurses to understand the pathophysiology and associated alterations of this disorder, as well as treatment and management options. In this Assignment, you compare types of diabetes, including drug treatments for type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.

To prepare:

  • Review this week’s media presentation on the endocrine system and diabetes, as well as Chapter 45 of the Arcangelo text and the Peterson, et al, article in your Learning Resources.
  • Think about the differences in the pathophysiology of types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, gestational, and juvenile diabetes.
  • Select one type of diabetes.
