Explain how an individual leadership development plan aligns with industry and organizational needs.

/in /by

Conduct a candid self-assessment of your health care leadership competencies and construct an 8–12 page comprehensive individual leadership development plan that can help you take your organization into the future.

Note: You are strongly encouraged to complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

By comparing areas of strength and weakness to the skill sets required to lead an organization, it is easier to determine the specific skill areas that need to be developed. Once you identify skills that need improvement, it is possible to develop an action plan to strengthen weaker areas and highlight existing strengths. A good action plan should contain specific strategies as well as a way to measure success.

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

Competency 2: Assess personal leadership competencies relative to the organizational need.
Summarize relevant critical success leadership competencies required by health care organizations.
Compare personal leadership competencies to the critical success leadership competencies needed within the health care industry.
Construct an individual leadership development plan that contains specific action steps, a timeline, and performance indicators and measures.
Explain how an individual leadership development plan aligns with industry and organizational needs.
Competency 5: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for professionals in health care administration.
Write coherently, concisely, logically, and with strong support from relevant professional resources, in an appropriate format, with correct grammar, usage, and mechanics as expected of a health care administration professional.

How are you and your patients affected by the rank disparities you have chosen?

/in /by

This is just assignment instruction and examples!!! (Not important)

Your task for this assignment is to reflect on where you currently fall within Nieto’s Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment Framework in terms of the ranking system, and reflect on how this affects you and your patients in your clinical practice setting.

First, copy and paste the chart below into a word processing program, and fill in what your current relationship is to each of the rank categories.

If you feel confused about where you fall, read back through the Nieto reading. Remember that status is different than rank and that although you may have experienced low status treatment in one of your rank categories where you are an agent, this does not affect your agent rank. For example, if a man is picked-on by a woman because he is a man, this is an example of low-status treatment; it does NOT change his position as Agent within the ranking system of gender. In another example, a White person may have experienced prejudice from a Person of Color, but this does not affect their position as Agent within the ranking system of Race.

Remember also to concentrate on each “channel” of the ranking system individually. For example, if you are disabled, you may not feel like you experience agency in terms of Age rank, but it is important to remember that Age is a different “channel” than Disability. If it helps, you can compare yourself with other people in the same rank–for example, ask yourself who has more access to structural power, who is given more authority in our culture? A disabled person who is 30, or a disabled person who is 6 or 80?

Also remember that in terms of Social Class, Nieto includes most of the middle class and even large numbers of the working class among the “agent” group. You can be considered an agent if you have access to higher education, which we all have as people who meet together in a college classroom.

Pay careful attention to Nieto’s discussion of Indigenous Heritage. If you are indigenous to land outside of the US and its territories, then you are an Agent in this rank category.

Fill in the chart as best you can. Some of you may find yourself having all Agent Ranks, and some of you may find yourselves having mostly Target ranks.

This is the part that needs to be done!

Below is the Rank Table

Rank Relationship to Rank     
Age Agent
Disability Agent
Race Target
Religious Culture Target
Ethnicity Target
Social Class Culture Agent
Sexual Orientation Agent
Indigenous Heritage Agent
National Origin Target
Gender Target

 

Finally, write an essay of minimum 500 words (single space) where you reflect on two Rank categories, and how they affect you and your patients in your clinical practice setting (or student setting). First, use County Health Rankings  (Links to an external site.) to identify and describe disparities faced by populations served in your clinical practice setting. Choose two ranks that you see are at play (Age, Disability, Ethnicity, Gender, etc), and give one specific example for each rank. How are you and your patients affected by the rank disparities you have chosen? Fewer points will be awarded for general answers.

 

In your paragraph, you must show that you completed the reading in Nieto by including a minimum of two quotes from Nieto (with page numbers) to support your statements. The quotes should be taken from pages 45-77 of the Nieto reading. (Nieto’s Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment Framework textbook)

 

How do you resolve this conflict of rules?

/in /by

Topic : You try to live strictly by the moral rules contained in your religion’s moral code. The two most important rules are “Be merciful” (don’t give people what they deserve) and “Be just” (give people exactly what they deserve). Now suppose a man is arrested for stealing food from your house, and the police leave it up to you whether he should be prosecuted for his crime or set free. Should you be merciful and set him free, or be just and make sure he is appropriately punished? How do you resolve this conflict of rules? Can your moral code resolve it? To what moral principles or theories do you appeal?

Essay Length tips–To answer these topics completely, it takes a minimum of 350 words. Use the topic questions and the scoring rubric to see if your draft responds fully to all parts of the question. A complete thoughtful answer is more important than word count.

Use your course texts to help you respond to the topic, and when you quote and summarize from the course texts, include information about the page reference.

You are discouraged from using additional sources. If you do choose to use an outside source, be sure to cite your source, just as you do when you use the course texts. If you use a quotation or an example from a website, cite the website’s url and the date accessed.

What are you thoughts about his blood glucose levels and A1C in this initial scenario?

/in /by

Based on the below case study answer the following question:

What are you thoughts about his blood glucose levels and A1C in this initial scenario? The case notes that his fasting plasma glucose=209 mg/dl and his HgbA1C=9.1%. Would these labs values be diagnostic for diabetes mellitus type II?

If you had decided to diagnose John with diabetes mellitus type II, what would you prescribe to him for medication therapy?

Case Study & Discussion Questions 

John is a 46-year-old male who presents for his yearly physical examination. He has no complaints. Previous medical history is notable for obesity and hyperlipidemia. He reports a very sedentary lifestyle. He sits at a desk for 8 to 10 hours per day and when he comes home he “just wants to relax in front of the television.” He doesn’t feel motivated enough to exercise on a regular basis, although he knows he should.

John is allergic to penicillin (hives). Medications include atorvastatin 10mg daily and a multivitamin. He occasionally takes acetaminophen for a headache.

Family history is significant for diabetes (mother, maternal grandmother, paternal grandfather) and hypertension (father and brother). He is a nonsmoker and reports drinking “a few beers on the weekend during football season”. His diet largely consists of fast food meals. He drinks sweet tea with every meal and an additional 3-4 cups of coffee per day. Previous labs and exam last year are unremarkable.

Vitals today: BP 130/70 mm Hg, pulse 82 and regular, temperature 98.7, respirations 18, height 6’1”, weight 235 pounds (up 3 lbs. since his visit 1 year ago). He completed fasting labs prior to this appointment as he was instructed which reveal the following:

Fasting plasma glucose=209 mg/dl, HgbA1C=9.1%, TSH=4.0mU/L and Free T4=1.1 ng/dl. Fasting lipid panel includes the following: total cholesterol=190 mg/dL, HDL=35 mg/dL,

Prepare a 15-slide (excluding title and reference slides) PowerPoint® presentation that addresses the characteristics of the community that you assessed.

/in /by

A community assessment provides the nurse knowledge of the community of interest. The characteristics of the community and relevant public health data provide valuable information related to the health and well-being of the population who live within it. A community assessment is the equivalent of a head-to-toe assessment, but instead of assessing an individual, you are looking at characteristics that define a community. The Community Tool Box website (Section 21; Windshield and Walking Surveys) will guide you as you conduct a modified community assessment.

Directions

Find a friend or someone to drive you through the community. As you travel through your community, take note of features that highlight the community’s unique characteristics.

As you explore your community, you will observe the influence of multiple factors that influence the health of the community’s population.

Aspects to observe in a modified community assessment can include:

Physical environment
Education
Safety and transportation
Politics and government
Health and social services
Recreation
Communication
Economics
Differences among neighborhoods or areas of the community that reflect socioeconomic status, culture, and ethnicity
Prepare a 15-slide (excluding title and reference slides) PowerPoint® presentation that addresses the characteristics of the community that you assessed. The final content slide should highlight key indicators that reflect the health of the community.
***Preferably a location in upstate New York ***

The PowerPoint presentation should include photographs, illustrations, and bullet points. Speaker’s notes must accompany each slide and be at least 100 words in length. You must include at least three scholarly, supporting references, cited within the speaker’s notes and included on the reference slide.

Submit your Assignment to the Assignment Dropbox before midnight on the last day of the unit. Note: Dropbox file size is limited to 1 GB.
