Week 8 Forum – Ethical Research

(Ethical Research)

This is a two-part forum.  Be sure to complete both parts to earn full credit.

PART 1:
To prepare for this part of the forum, first watch the documentary A Class Divided at

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/

Transcript for the video is also available at:  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/class-divided/transcript/
Although this “Blue Eyes – Brown Eyes Experiment” featured in this video is considered today to be of great importance in terms of what it reveals about human propensity for prejudice and discrimination as evidenced by the behavior of the documentary’s elementary school children, the experiment is also controversial because it not only placed children in psychologically distressful situations, but did so without the permission of parents or other adult guardians.  Today, it could not be conducted as it was back in the 1960s.
For this discussion, think about a study that you have read or viewed a video about during previous course weeks that you feel also raises serious ethical concerns. Do you think that study should have been performed? That is, does the knowledge gained from this study justify the deception or discomfort experienced by the subjects? If the experiment’s negative impact on subjects was only temporary, does this fact diminish the ethical problems to an acceptable level in your opinion? What standards of ethics would you follow if you were a researcher?
PART 2:

Describe 3 learning take-aways you will take with you when you leave the course.  A take-away is particular knowledge that you gained during course completion that has particular meaning and that you believe you will be able to use in the future. Identifying something such as what a textbook chapter focused on or summarizing book content, lecture notes, etc. does not count as a take-away.  For this part of the forum you will want to think about what you have learned this term that really has meaning for you and that you can see yourself putting to future use.  Quotes cannot be included in Part 2.  You will need describe each take-away in your own words.

Enterprise Solutions Report

(Enterprise Solutions Report)

Question description

The goal of the Capstone Project is to develop an enterprise solutions report that could be used to help guide executive management in making information technology decisions for an organization. The following elements should be included in your enterprise solutions report:

Executive Summary (summary of all deliverables)

High-level executive summary (1-2 pages) that includes a summarized view of the comprehensive life-cycle plan, network and server upgrades, security plan, and cloud-based services. Your executive summary should communicate clearly and flow logically and should not be a basic excerpt from each section written.

Comprehensive Life-Cycle Plan

Deliverable summary (one paragraph)
Deliverable presentation (as developed in Week 7 Capstone assignment: no more than five slides, with notes in the note section as a narrative explaining each slide)
Deliverable:
Scenario: The organization has 5,000 employees who are located throughout several locations within the continental United States. Most of the company’s computers are Windows 7 PC’s/laptops. The organization has no special PC needs for specialized skills such as CAD or engineers, for example. Employees for this organization rely heavily on the PCs they use to complete day-to-day tasks.

Using the above scenario, develop a comprehensive plan for keeping PCs upgraded and functional through a proper hardware/software life cycle. As you develop a life cycle, create a core list of software applications for all computers that should properly compliment the need for efficiency and collaboration among workers. The software requirements should drive the specs for the next round of hardware requirements. Imagine that you are the consultant recommending a plan, and include the specs for the next PC and laptop users will be upgrading to in the first life cycle. Include state-of-the art mobile devices such as tablets and other smart devices for professional use only. Personal uses of organizational resources are prohibited.

This deliverable should be no less than two full pages in length and should include at least three outside credible resources.

Network and Server Upgrades :

Deliverable summary (one paragraph)
Deliverable presentation (as developed in Week 7 Capstone assignment: no more than five slides, with notes in the note section as a narrative explaining each slide)
Deliverable:
Scenario: The organization has a basic IPv4-based infrastructure using a Windows 2008 server-based structure. There is a generic shared drive that has turned into a “virtual dumping ground” for files used across departments. Accounting department users do not have the same access to sales department folders, so this shared folder is the solution used for cross-department collaboration. There are many important files that cannot be deleted, but this shared drive is causing a problem.

Using the above scenario, develop a plan to upgrade the existing network to IPv6 as well as to upgrade the existing server structure. You must outline the reasons for upgrading both the server and infrastructure as well as include the potential risks for doing so. You must also find a sustainable and collaborative solution to eliminate the dependency on the shared drive.

This deliverable should be no less than two full pages in length and should include at least three outside credible resources.

Security Plan :

Deliverable summary (one paragraph)
Deliverable presentation (as developed in Week 7 Capstone assignment: no more than five slides, with notes in the note section as a narrative explaining each slide)
Deliverable:
Scenario: In this organization, all data is considered sensitive and all email communications are considered sensitive to classified. All digital assets must be secure including internal/external communications. Formal policies, procedures, and training are essential elements to securing an organization.

Using the above scenario, develop a comprehensive security plan that includes physical, application, operational, and remote security elements. You are also to develop and/or adapt a computing use and acceptable internet use policy for the organization. A remote access policy and procedure must be developed to include the considerations of the teleworker/telecommuter.

This deliverable should be no less than three full pages in length and should include at least three outside credible resources.

Cloud-Based Services

Deliverable summary (one paragraph)
Deliverable presentation (as developed in Week 7 Capstone assignment: no more than five slides, with notes in the note section as a narrative explaining each slide)
Deliverable:
Scenario: Software as a service is growing and cloud-based services cannot be ruled out as a means to streamline IT needs. The cloud offers everything from storage to email to productivity applications. Cloud-based solutions allow for savings on IT staff and infrastructure. Based on the solutions provided in previous Capstone assignments in this course and the needs of the infrastructure, explore the possibility of utilizing the cloud and cloud-based services to streamline the complete infrastructure.

Using the scenario above, look at cloud-based services for business continuity, disaster recovery, storage, applications, and any other cloud-based service that would prove cost effective without compromising operations. For every element that is and is not maintained using the cloud, a detailed explanation, including the advantages and disadvantages, must be explained. For cloud-based services that will be used, a detailed explanation must be included on how the decision was made.

This deliverable should be no less than two full pages in length and should include at least three outside credible resources.

Conclusion

References

Appendices as needed

Your well-written Capstone Project should be clear, engaging, original, and focused, with ideas and content that are richly developed with details and examples. The project should be presented coherently to move the reader through the details of the proposed enterprise solutions. You should submit one document with all of the above elements; to include PowerPoint slides and notes in a Word document, copy and paste the slides as images into the Word document and copy and paste the notes below each associated slide.

Popular Media Case Research

(Popular Media Case Research)

Our culture’s hero worship of successful athletes allows us to learn intimate details about individuals whose lives would otherwise be fairly private. However, accepting the status and fame often accompanying performance success has become part of what is expected of these highly visible members of our society.

Occasionally, our glimpses into their personal lives or professional roles offer opportunities for us to observe psychological, emotional, or behavioral indicators suggestive of a mental illness.

For this assignment, complete the following tasks:

  • Identify an athlete who is portrayed in the popular media (on a television series, news program, sporting event, or movie) and is someone you believe may be suffering from a psychological disorder. You may have observed signs of a performance-altering condition or behavioral impairment.
  • Next, describe the athlete you’ve selected. Use the intake assessment form you produced in M2: Assignment 2 and fill the form as if you were interviewing the athlete. Include all relevant information you are aware of, and feel free to extrapolate additional details as necessary. Be sure to include any symptoms you observe and complete as much of the athlete’s history as you can.
  • After you’ve completed the intake assessment form, identify a minimum of two diagnostic possibilities you would consider as potentially present in the athlete. Describe the assessments you might use if you were to be evaluating this athlete as a sport psychologist.

Complete your intake assessment form and diagnostic possibilities in two to
three pages and present it in Microsoft Word document format. Name the file SP6005_M4_A2_lastname_firstinitial.doc. By the due date assigned, submit it to the Discussion Area.

Through the end of the module, use the Discussion Area to review intake assessment forms and diagnostic possibilities submitted by at least two of your classmates. Offer your own assessments of their submissions. Provide balanced feedback, describing the strengths and weaknesses of each diagnosis. Make suggestions for improvements so your peers can develop and refine their work.

All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.

Recognizing Arguments

(Recognizing Arguments)

  •  IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL INSTRUCTION ARE FOLLOWED EXACTLY!
  •  Submit your assignment in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
  •  Recognizing Arguments In this assignment, you will apply key concepts covered in the module readings. You will identify the component parts of arguments and differentiate between various types of arguments such as inductive and deductive. You will then construct specific, original arguments. There are two parts to the assignment. Complete both parts.   Part 1 1a: Identify Components of Arguments Identify the component parts of the argument, premises and conclusion, for the following passages. Where applicable, highlight key words or phrases that identify a claim as a premise or a conclusion.   
  • Refer to the following example: “All men are mortal. Socrates is a man. Therefore, Socrates is mortal.”
  • All men are mortal.
  • Premise- Socrates is a man.
  • Premise- Therefore, Socrates is mortal.
  • Conclusion -“Therefore” is a key word indicating the claim is the conclusion.
  • 1. Sue is pregnant and will give birth to one child. We know already this child has no genetic anomalies. If Sue’s baby is a boy, he will be named Mark. If Sue’s baby is a girl, she will be named Margaret. Sue will have either a boy or a girl. So we know Sue’s baby will be named Mark or Margaret.
  • 2. If the library has The Lord of the Rings, you won’t find it on the first floor. This is because all fantasy novels are fiction and all works of fiction are housed on the second floor of the library. Of course, I am assuming that all the books are properly shelved at this time.
  • 3.“After a year, brain scans showed that among the walkers, the hippocampus had increased in volume by about 2 percent on average; in the others, it had declined by about 1.4 percent. Since such a decline is normal in older adults, ’a 2 percent increase is fairly significant,’ said the lead author, Kirk Erickson, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh. Both groups also improved on a test of spatial memory, but the walkers improved more. While it is hard to generalize from this study to other populations, the researchers were delighted to learn that the hippocampus might expand with exercise” (Span, 2011).

  • 1b: Identify Arguments as Inductive or Deductive
  • Identify the arguments as inductive or deductive for the following passages below. Offer a brief explanation why each argument is either inductive or deductive. (Remember that in this exercise you are not concerned with whether the arguments are strong or weak, valid or invalid. You are only concerned with the form of the arguments—that is, whether they are deductive or inductive.)
  • Because Una has circles under her eyes, is yawning, and looks tired, I’m certain she didn’t get much sleep last night.
  • Grace concluded that psychotherapists caused indigestion, because every time she had a session, she left with a horrible stomachache.
  • If a bug is a spider, it must have eight legs. A daddy-longlegs has six legs, consequently, a daddy-longlegs is not a spider.
  • Part 2 2a: Argument Identification and Anaylsis
  • In the following longer text passages, identify the key components of each argument. For each argument, list the main conclusion and the reasons (or premises) that support the conclusion.
  • Issue
  • “You say many women at the most elite colleges intend to ‘put aside their careers in favor of raising children.’ But why shouldn’t the raising of children be considered a career as well? Few would deny that being a stay-at-home parent is a terrifically demanding job, requiring unlimited ‘people skills’ and a total commitment to a workweek that recognizes no concept of overtime, not to mention a paycheck. The term ‘working mother’ is a redundancy. No woman need feel any guilt for opting to fill her days with whichever activities give her the greatest joy and fulfillment” (English, 2005).
  • The author concludes that: __________________________________ The reasons for making the argument are: _____________________
  • “The attorney general does not merely head up the Justice Department. He is responsible for ensuring that America is a nation in which justice prevails. Mr. Gonzales’s record makes him unqualified to take on this role or to represent the American justice system to the rest of the world. The Senate should reject his nomination” (The New York Times, Editorial, 2005).

Communicable And Infectious Disease

/in , , /by

Communicable And Infectious Disease.
Sexually Transmitted Disease And HIV And AIDS.

(Communicable And Infectious Disease)

Communicable and infectious diseases encompass a broad spectrum of illnesses that can be transmitted from one individual to another through various means. Among these, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) hold a significant place due to their mode of transmission through sexual activity. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) are prime examples within this category, carrying substantial medical, social, and psychological implications.

STDs, including HIV/AIDS, pose a significant public health challenge globally. They not only impact individual health but also strain healthcare systems and social structures. The modes of transmission for STDs vary, including sexual intercourse, blood transfusions, and sharing needles. However, sexual contact remains the most common route for transmission.

HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, attacks the body’s immune system, specifically targeting CD4 cells, weakening the body’s ability to fight infections and diseases. Initially, HIV may not present noticeable symptoms, making it challenging to detect without testing. Without proper treatment, HIV can progress to AIDS, characterized by severe immune suppression and the onset of opportunistic infections and cancers, ultimately leading to death if left untreated.

Prevention and management strategies for STDs, including HIV/AIDS, encompass a multi-faceted approach. Education and awareness campaigns aim to promote safe sexual practices, encourage regular testing, and reduce stigma surrounding these diseases. Access to healthcare services, including testing, counseling, and treatment, plays a crucial role in controlling the spread of STDs and improving health outcomes for affected individuals.

Effective treatment regimens, such as antiretroviral therapy for HIV/AIDS, can significantly prolong and improve the quality of life for those living with these conditions. Additionally, the development of vaccines, such as the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, offers primary prevention against certain STDs.

In conclusion, STDs, including HIV/AIDS, represent a significant global health concern, with implications for individual health and broader public health systems. Comprehensive prevention, testing, and treatment strategies are essential in mitigating the impact of these diseases and improving overall health outcomes.

Communicable And Infectious Disease. Sexually Transmitted Disease And HIV And AIDS.

1.  In your own words and using the proper evidence-based references define communicable and infectious disease.  Discuss if there is any similarity and how they related each other.  Give some example of communicable disease and infectious disease and why they are classified like that.

2.  Discuss the vaccination requirement in our state and tell me if they are given to prevent communicable of infectious disease.  Give examples.

3.  Discuss why is no a “typical” STI(Sexually Transmitted Disease/Infection) patient.  Why does the presence of STI greatly increased the risk of HIV transmission?

4.  Present an overview of the medication Prep (Truvada) and discuss the pros and cons of the use of this medication in the prevention of communicable and infectious disease.

This assignment must be presented based in an APA format word document, Arial 12 font.

A minimum of 3 evidence-based references no older than 5 years  (excluding the class textbook) is required.  A minimum of 600 words is required (excluding first and last page).

  • Length: The report should be 4–6 pages in content length. Include a separate title page and a separate reference page.
  • Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point, double-spaced.
  • Number of resources: Use a minimum of three peer-reviewed resources.

CONTEXT

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE, SYSTEMS THEORY, AND LEADERSHIP

Embedded within the AONE (2015) competencies for nursing leaders are various components of systems thinking and systems leadership. Nursing leaders need to perform a historical review of organizational theories because it helps them understand the effect of structures and theories that are relevant to health care organizational systems. This understanding leads to knowledge on how these systems affect the role and scope of nursing practice.

Effective CommunicationSystems theory came into use within the business sector following a publication on the subject by Peter Senge. As time progressed, health care leaders adapted principles from systems theory and applied them to health care organizations and systems. Systems theory maintains that the parts of the whole affect each other in many ways, with interactions so complex that any event or action may have multiple consequences across the entire whole (Senge, 1990).

Communication is a key competency for nurse executives. It may involve verbal, nonverbal, written, electronic, and other communication modalities. Communication among members of teams, between departments and service lines, within large networks, with strategic business partners, and with patients, families, or support persons requires awareness of various facets of effective communication.

OVERVIEW

Write a 4–6 page impact report to senior leadership that identifies a nursing-related challenge, analyzes how it affects the organization from a nursing perspective, and details the new position.

Each organization has a unique structure that impacts the behavior of the organization. In health care organizations, this impact is on the ability of the organization to deliver quality patient care. Nursing is an essential component of any health care organization, and nursing leaders must understand the role of nursing and nursing leadership within the total organization. Understanding basic organizational structure, mission, vision, philosophy, and values will better prepare nurse leaders to improve quality and patient outcomes.

Spiritual Needs Assessment & Reflection

(Spiritual Needs Assessment & Reflection)

Details:

This assignment requires you to interview one person and requires an analysis of your interview experience.

Part I: Interview

Select a patient, a family member, or a friend to interview. Be sure to focus on the interviewee’s experience as a patient, regardless of whom you choose to interview.

Review The Joint Commission resource found in topic materials, which provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment tools for evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using this resource and any other guidelines/examples that you can find, create your own tool for assessing the spiritual needs of patients.

Your spiritual needs assessment survey must include a minimum of five questions that can be answered during the interview. During the interview, document the interviewee’s responses.

The transcript should include the questions asked and the answers provided. Be sure to record the responses during the interview by taking detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information through which the interviewee can be determined.

Part II: Analysis

Write a 500-750 word analysis of your interview experience. Be sure to exclude specific names and other personal information from the interview. Instead, provide demographics such as sex, age, ethnicity, and religion. Include the following in your response:

  1. What went well?
  2. Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your ability to complete the assessment tool? How would you address these in the future or change your assessment to better address these challenges?
  3. How can this tool assist you in providing appropriate interventions to meet the needs of your patient?
  4. Did you discover that illness and stress amplified the spiritual concern and needs of your interviewee? Explain your answer with examples.

Submit both the transcript of the interview and the analysis of your results. This should be submitted as one document. The interview transcript does not figure into the word count.
