Task(Certified Nurse Educator)

Kelly, a new faculty member who recently completed a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) with a focus on Nursing Education, has been an instructor on a team of nursing instructors for six months. Details about Kelly’s work environment include:

  • The faculty team working with Kelly is comprised of four instructors with experience ranging from two to 15 years.
  • One faculty member Edith, the longest residing member of the nursing faculty has a PhD, one faculty member has a DNP and has only been on the team 6 months longer than Kelly, and the remaining two faculty members have a MSN: Manny acting as the simulation and lab coordinator for the past four years and Andre, a staff nurse at the local hospital on joint appointment with the School of Nursing.
  • The program is a prelicensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program with a traditional entry for four years and a two year accelerated option.
  • The program has applied for Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accreditation and expects a visit in six months. Currently the program has provisional accreditation pending the upcoming site visit.(Certified Nurse Educator)

The BSN program recently received a grant supplying funds for the nurse educators on staff to take the certified nurse educator (CNE) exam. No faculty member is currently a CNE. Recently, at a weekly faculty meeting Kelly presented a faculty enrichment program titled: “Prepare for the CNE Exam”. The presentation was a success with the faculty who signed up to take the CNE exam. The Dean was excited and asked Kelly to continue the weekly series regarding CNE preparation. The Dean stated, “Kelley, please compile a list of resources faculty can use to prepare for the CNE exam. Currently I have a list of textbooks and journals from the CNE Candidate Handbook which I have ordered. What I need you to do is locate specific evidence based material which will support development of the faculty related to the eight core competencies of an educator. I would like you to present your findings for the first category of the CNE detailed test blueprint, facilitate learning at the next meeting. Specifically, I want the evidence based findings you select to support development and implementation of teaching strategies which constitutes approximately twenty-five percent of the CNE exam. Remember, I want the faculty to leave the meeting with a list of resources they can use to study.”

Kelley was excited and assured the Dean she would locate what was requested. Kelley identified the outcomes for her presentation which included:

  • Select appropriate evidence based findings to provide scholarly support for these categories of the CNE detailed test blueprint:
    1. Use educational theory based on evidence-based practices related to education.
    2. Implement teaching strategies and learning experiences based on a diverse student population.
    3. Modify teaching strategies and learning experiences based on a diverse student population.
    4. Create a positive learning environment that fosters a free exchange of ideas.

Childhood Obesity and Food Access

(Childhood Obesity and Food Access)

2-Please Answer Base In This Answer In APA Format .Write At Least 250 Words , Please Answer The Comments By Number And List Your Answers Please, Thank You

1-I know here in Oregon a free breakfast is given to all children no matter the parents income. If the child falls under the poverty level they can get free or reduced lunch. The school for years ago, installed a backpack program for kids in a very low income family. The packs were filled with food to last the kids through the weekend or on long weekends or breaks. Oregon also has the free lunch program in the summer for all children under the age of 18 Monday through Friday. We do have poverty and homeless, but we do our best to take care of our community members.

 

2-What I have found in the past to be very frustrating is the fact that I have seen a family of 6 get food stamps with a monthyly balance of just under $800. I don’t even spend close to that amount per month for my family of 4. That is plenty of money to buy very, very healthy! I know that the amount families get depends on family size and income. I have also been in line with people infront of me buying prime rib, lobster, and other expensive items and then pay with food stamps. Those things are healthy, but how is that using the money wisely to last the rest of the month. There might be a problem with parents also just buying convience food just for that fact, they don’t have to send time to prep and then cook the food. I know, there are families out there that use the money responsibly and try to be as healthy as possible. But, with the rise in child obesity, those families might be far and few between.(Childhood Obesity and Food Access)

 

3-We are hearing more and more about childhood obesity and how it is becoming more prevalent in our society today. School age children are at a critical point health wise in their growth cycle when it comes to the ability to grow excess fat (Lee, 2012).  According to Daniel L. Millimet, Rusty Tchernis, and Muna Husain,  childhood obesity in school aged children has risen from 4 percent to 18.8 percent in children ages six to eleven (2018, p. 641). It has been found that children in lower income families and minority neighborhoods are more likely to be obese due to less access to larger grocery stores and more fast food restaurants or convenience stores being close by (Lee, 2012). Larger grocery stores are more likely to have higher quality foods and produce and more healthy choices than smaller grocery stores or convenience stores (Lee, 2012). Convenience stores are more likely to carry unhealthy food choices as they more often than not stock foods that will last longer on the shelf and have a lower chance of perishing (Lee, 2012). Smaller grocery stores may carry produce and fresh food but they will likely carry less choices as compared to larger supermarkets (Lee, 2012). The prices in smaller grocery stores or convenience stores will likely be higher and the quality of the food may be poor (Lee, 2012).  The majority of Americans spend a large portion of their grocery budget on pre-made foods or take out and these foods have a higher calorie content than foods prepared at home. In addition, children who eat out often, consume 150 calories more per day than children who do not (Lee, 2012). One study showed that where there were more convenience stores within a specific zip code, the average BMI of the teenagers in that area was higher than the BMI of children who had more supermarkets within their zip code (Lee, 2012). Families without cars or access to transportation are more dependent on the local food retailers in their immediate area but when the local retailers are more likely to offer unhealthy choices, this becomes a problem (Lee, 2012). It has also been found that lower income families are more likely to drive to a discount grocery outlet or store instead of their local supermarket because the prices fit their budget better but they in turn get lower quality foods (Lee, 2012). They are more likely to choose generic foods and will buy non-perishable foods in bulk (Lee, 2012). As you can see, there are health disparities associated with low income families and minorities when it comes to nutritional choices and weight. Another study done shows the correlation between childhood obesity and the physical home environment in low income families. Children who have more screen time and who do not get enough sleep are more likely to become obese (Appelhans et.al., 2014) The study stresses the importance of implementing a bed time routine in children, reducing chaos in the home and removing televisions from children’s bedrooms to combat the increased rates of obesity in lower income families (Appelhans, 2014) The study showed a direct correlation with obesity, lack of sleep and increased screen time (Appelhans, 2014)

Milestone 2 assessment

(Milestone 2 assessment)

Question description

NR443_Milestone2_Assessment_Diagnosis_Guidelines.docx

1. Welcome to the Milestone 2 tutorial.

2. This tutorial reviews Milestone 2, your assessment and diagnosis paper. For Milestone 2, you will write an APA paper where you will complete your community assessment, and diagnose one community health nursing problem based on this data. You can find APA resources in your resource folder in your course.

3. Download the Milestone 2 guidelines from Doc Sharing, and follow the directions carefully. Use the headings outlined on these guidelines as first level headings in your paper. There is an APA template in resources that you can use to help with APA formatting.

4. Begin Milestone 2 with an introductory paragraph. Start your paper with an interesting sentence that grabs the attention of the reader. Provide an introduction to your paper, and be sure to include the purpose of your paper related to assessing and diagnosing a community health problem.

Follow this up in Section 2 with a second paragraph that describes your community in a little more detail. Include your community’s name and state. Discuss whether it is rural, suburban, or urban. Describe a few interesting facts about your area.

Next, in the demographic data section, discuss a range of demographic data for your community. Demographic data includes the general statistics that describe the community. This data is found in the U.S. Census Bureau reports (similar to the first part of your Week 2 discussion). Compare your demographic information to state or national statistics.

In the Epidemiological data section, include a range of information about disease rates, health behaviors, or public health problems in your area. This information can be found from your local health department records (on their website), the county health rankings website, or other records, such as those from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Do not use Wikipedia. Most .com websites are not considered scholarly resources. Use this data to paint a picture of your community. Compare your community data to state or national data. Be sure to include statistics that support the problem that you will be discussing later in the paper.

5. The windshield survey section includes a summary of the relevant parts of your windshield survey that was completed for the first Milestone. Be sure to include information about what you observed related to the problem you identify.

Now that you’ve collected the assessment data, you can diagnose the problem and discuss that in the next section. Be sure this is a nursing problem that you consider to be a priority concern. Provide the rationale for your choice, and relate your choice to one of the healthy people numbered objectives, not just a healthy people goal. Be sure that the data you collected and your windshield survey validates this problem. Also, discuss the findings of two scholarly journal articles related to the problem you chose. These articles may discuss factors that contribute to the problem you uncovered, but should not focus on interventions.

The summary section provides a paragraph about your paper and should include a restatement of what you discovered and a statement about the problem. This should also include the population at risk for the problem and the factors that contribute to this problem. Do not include new information in the summary. End with a conclusion statement.

Finally, include a reference page for the complete APA reference of any source you cited in the paper. See the APA documents in resources for help. As always, use the grading rubric to self-grade your paper before submitting it.

Comparing a "foundational document" from a selected profession to the gospels

(Comparing foundational document & quot)

Question description

D.3.3. Research Paper. The research paper will be 8-10 pages (2000-2500 words). The paper will compare a foundational document from the “selected profession” chosen by the student with the materials presented in the textbook and class regarding that same topic.. Thus, the paper will be a comparison of one reality with another. The paper will demonstrate: (a) the student has grasped information and insights of Rel 214-01, especially the understanding of a “foundational document” and its subsequent interpretation. (b) the student can read and understand new material and (c) the student can compare and contrast what he/she learned in the course with information found outside of the course.

Questions to research about the foundational document of your “selected” profession (find answers in your research of professional sources – journals, web sites, mission statements, history books about the profession, etc):

When was it written?

Compare with the analysis of the four gospels – how do we know when they were written? e.g. subject matter, other events in history, literary forms, etc.

What are the historical events that influenced the foundation of the profession. Cite sources for your description of historical events – industrialization, wars, migration, advances in technology, etc. Compare to historical events that influenced the gospels – e.g. Roman roads, wars, destruction of the Temple in 70 a.d., etc.(Comparing foundational document & quot)

What is the cultural context?

Compare with chapters on Greco-Roman background and Jewish background of Jesus.

Compare professional journal findings with textbook analysis.

Cite your sources, put quotation marks around direct quotations.

What is the mainstream interpretation of the foundational document, i.e. what do most people in the field think that it means? Find this in professional journals, not Wikipedia.

What are the reformers’ interpretations of the foundational document?

What sources do the reformers use – language, history, consequences, future expectations? Compare with sources for the gospels.

Which image of Jesus would the founders or reformers be comparable to? – the Jesus is Matthew, Mark, Luke or John?

Compare both founders and reformers with the images of Jesus in the four chapters about Jesus.

(Comparing foundational document & quot)

How apocalyptic are the founders/reformers? Compare with Chapter 17 of Ehrman.

Academic Reference Need

(Academic Reference Need)

Do A Comment Base In These Answers. Please Write At Least 130 Words. Academic Reference Need. Please Write The Reference In Each Not Together Because Sometime I Confuse. Thanks

Comment 1

Navigating through unique cultures as well as religious needs of patients is an unnerving process. Some actions or wording stated can offend the patient or their family by not knowing their needs or beliefs. When it comes to the patient Sue Li, most practitioners would automatically start with the assumption that she is from Asia (Purnell, 2012). The first question she will be asked is if she is a citizen of the country? If her response were “no” then her nationality would be requested, however, if it were yes the questioning will proceed (Galanti, 2014). The next question will be if she is fluent in English? If not if she would like any translator? If she is not being escorted by one. This will be followed her explanation of her condition in full detail. It is important not to judge the patient due to their difference in culture. The medical procedure that will be given will be explained in full detail to the patient and asked if she will be comfortable with the process. If not the nurse must respect her decision.(Academic Reference Need)

Abuse screen is a tool that nurses can use to evaluate if patient is victim of abuse the screening question will be performed to assess how recent how serious family abuse was.

In the case of abuse, she will be encouraged to express her problems. Asians are not encouraged to speak family matters to outsiders; the nurse will have to use various techniques to ensure the patient feels accommodated (Paniagua, 2013). By giving personal experience can be one method as it reduces the amount of shame and guilt. If abuse is confirmed by interview, she will fill the abuse assessment screen and the proper authorities contacted to deal with the matter (Paniagua, 2013). The patient, on the other hand, will be separated from the abuser and taken for further treatment and assessment. Nurse may offer different resources and therapy group for Li and provide a safety plan to prevent further harm.

Comment 2

For a proper healthcare delivery in any setup, cultural competency of a nurse is an important factor (Jarvis, 2016). The nurse should clearly understand the cultural beliefs and the type of family setting that the patient was raised in for him to provide the best care to Ms. Li.  Most Asian American families have strong cultural beliefs and this can substantially influence the decision-making process by the patient. Other Asian American families have washed away their strong beliefs and hence their approach to healthcare might be more Americanized or westernized. This background information is important for a nurse since it helps in a proper interview to make an assessment.(Academic Reference Need)

Asian communities are family oriented and like coexisting peacefully as a group as opposed to emphasizing individuality. This coexistence is a protection against the hardships of life and a major source of identity (Jarvis, 2016). Inner strength and stamina and respect to the family are important values for the Asian children. These important values are enforced by their parents, who expect the child to strictly follow the rules and only speak when it is necessary. Given this background, therefore, Asians maybe not willing to acknowledge strong pain, emotion, and grief because of their cultural values and family.

Asian cultures can be described as high context cultures in which communication through non-verbal cues is very common and important (McCulloch, 2014). Hence, the pitch, intonation, eye contact, word stress, “gesture, body language, and silence are as vital as the spoken words in a conversation. By being sensitive to the other person’s mood and being polite in conversation, Asian families expect to be understood mutually and their non-verbal communication. With this knowledge, the nurse should consider these facts when interviewing Ms. Li.(Academic Reference Need)

Abuse Assessment Screen is a short domestic violence screening tool nurses can use in their healthcare settings. The tool is formatted such that no one feels singled out. Follow up question are asked if any of the questions are answered with a yes. These follow-up questions will be designed to assess how serious and how recent the family abuse was. Essentially, nurses have mandated reporters in their clinical setup.

If abuse is detected during the interview, the nurse should report it and document a detailed description of the nature of abuse as recounted by the patient. However, the nurse should take particular care to give the full the details of the abuser (McCulloch, 2014).  Ms. Li needs to have therapy services, support, and protection to help her recover and to keep her away from such an abusive environment. The nurse can offer different resources and information concerning who Ms. Li can talk to assist her with the issue. Furthermore, if nurses are uncertain about requirements for their local reporting, they may also talk to their local domestic violence coalitions for further clarification.

These concepts might include: metabolism, respiration, reproduction, habitability zones, extremophiles, methods of searching for extrasolar planets, carbon-based life, universal solvents, planetary atmospheres, or many other concepts that are key to the search for life. Your paper should demonstrate your understanding of these concepts, not just the awareness of the terminology.
  • A clear organization and correct grammar to provide a readable and intelligent paper. It should be easy and pleasurable to read. This should include an introduction, conclusion, and appropriate headers to help make clarify your argument.
  • Individuality and creativity to show how you have digested and interpreted the information, and to show me it is your OWN work. Papers that read like a bunch of cut and paste text without any personality will be poorly graded.
  • A complete and consistent set of citations and references in APA, IEEE, or similar academic format. I don’t care which format you use, but be consistent and thorough.
  • Pride in your work. If you don’t love it, I won’t love it.

You MUST do original work. I will be very strict on anything that is copied from the Internet or another student’s paper – it is plagiarism. Don’t go there.

This paper is worth 33% of your course grade.

One more time…sorry….a VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Any paper that does not follow this format will not be graded and will be given a 0. If the paper is in the form of a previous course’s paper assignment, you will be failed for the course and all materials will be submitted to the Dean of Science for full disciplinary action for plagiarism. No questions asked – take this as your warning.

Defining Professional Counselors Homework Question

(Defining Professional Counselors)

Of the 238 participants, 204 responded to the question, “What is your definition of a professional counselor?” As expected, given the broad nature of the question, participants defined counselors in a variety of ways. In our analysis of the responses, three categories emerged: (a) counseling tasks and services provided, (b) counselor training and credentials, and (c) wellness and developmental focus. A description of each category is provided next, with the most commonly cited categories noted first. One interesting finding in the open-ended responses was that the majority (97%, ? = 197) of participants described professional counselors in general terms, with only seven people describing counselors as defined by their specialization. Three participants defined professional counselors as school counselors, and four defined them as mental health counselors.

Counseling tasks and services provided. This category emerged from the most frequently cited responses, in which participants (78%, n = 1 59) defined professional counselors by what they do on a daily basis and by the services they provide clients. One respondent wrote, “[A professional counselor] offers a variety of counseling and counseling-related services (e.g., psychoeducation, consultation, advising, coaching, advocacy) … to assist clients with personal and professional growth.” Another counselor summed up the responses of a number of participants by writing,

A professional counselor is a clinician who can demonstrate proficient knowledge and skill of those mental health, psychological, and human development issues that commonly occur in counseling through the competent display of cognitive, affective, behavioral, or systematic intervention strategies that address wellness, personal growth, [and/or] career development, as well as pathology.

The focus in this category was on providing a variety of counseling services to clients to help facilitate change in their lives. As one participant noted, “A professional counselor works with individuals, groups, families, and couples to help them identify and address any issues that may be interfering with or impairing their functioning.”

Counselor training and credentials. In this category, participants (49%, n = 1 00) defined professional counselors by their training and credentials, citing the importance of master’s-level training in an accredited program, earning the NCC credential and/or state licensure as well as other relevant state credentials, maintaining involvement in professional organizations, and participating in continuing education. As one respondent noted, “A professional counselor is an individual who has completed a graduate degree in counseling and has obtained state and/or national certification/licensure.” Within this category, a subset of participants specifically noted part of being a counseling professional was following a counseling code of ethics. For example, one respondent wrote, “A counselor [is someone] who has achieved a set standard of testing, clinical hours, and supervision. A professional adheres to ethical standards and continues with ongoing education.”

Wellness and developmental focus. The next category to emerge (12%, n = 25) defined professional counselors as using a wellness and developmental focus in their work with clients as opposed to using a medical or pathology-focused approach. As one respondent wrote, a counselor is “a helping professional with a wellness orientation whose connection with another allows that person to achieve greater selfunderstanding and adjustment to bio-psycho-social developmental milestones.” Another noted, “[Counselors] complete interventions to promote wellness and restoration of optimal levels of functioning.”
