DISCUSSION

1. Technology innovations (i.e. Health Information Exchange, Clinical Decision Support, Personal Health Records, Telehealth) are having a profound effect on transforming nurses clinical practice. For example, how we access, use, and communicate about clinical problems with patients. Describe some of the most pressing challenges and benefits of each of these innovations?

2. Two core competencies required for nurse experts to manage technology innovations include application level knowledge of the systems and clinical workflow design. As you think about these core competencies for each of the innovations listed above, how do you propose that we assure nurses have appropriate knowledge about these types of systems. Also, how do you propose that we evaluate workflow to leverage the functionality of these innovations in practice?

Question: What can the story of clothing tells us about the nature of colonial power relations?

The Europeans conquered almost the entire continent of Africa in the nineteenth century. Victorians brought their culture and their faith; hence Africa was swept by Protestant and Catholic missionaries, who often arrived in places before colonial troops. Along the frontiers of what is now South Africa, the Tswana people were converted by Evangelical missionaries. Africans became Christians. But what did that mean?

Among the things that changed was clothing. Europeans were transmitting their tastes to Asians, Africans and everyone else. All around the world, people were wearing trousers, western hats, western suits etc. But not always in an identical fashion.

This question is about the Tswana people in South Africa and their encounters with missionaries. More specifically, we will read that relationship through clothing. We were adopting western clothing but in ways that was disquieting to the missionaries.

In this essay, your task critically analyze the politics of dress in one interesting context.

What did Europeans see a need to ‘fashion’ colonial subjects?

Why did the body matter in the colonial world?

Why did colonial subjects get ‘refashioned’

What were the meanings ascribed to the fashioning process?

After reading the articles posted in Week 10 module and the textbook Chapters 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 discuss the below topics.

Conduct a brief Gap Analysis (what issue/problems need addressed and is the current training addressing these issues/problems) in your field and discuss what areas in your field need reform (issues and problems that need addressed).

Discuss your current agencies policies (or give some examples of Criminal Justice policies if you are not currently working in the Criminal Justice field) and if they align to the issue/problem in your field.

Do your current training policies align to what needs reformed in your field – this should be fairly easy to do, you can provide your opinion (be critical)? Since we are in the criminal justice field, we are all critical of what needs addressed and if the current training provided addresses those problems.
