DISCUSSION ESSAY

Based on the following summarize this in a 1-2 page paper.

Recall a meeting that you recently had, such as a team presentation of a case analysis or a team meeting at work or on the athletic field.

What were your impressions of what happened in the planning of the presentation and how things like the assignment of roles and timetables for subsequent meetings and deliverables unfolded.

What were the behaviors of the others at the meeting, and why do you think they acted as they did? Finally, how do you think that others perceived your behavior at the meeting?

After you have recorded these recollections, meet with another attendee of that meeting. Ask them these questions, and record what they say happened at that meeting and what they thought of the behavior of the participants, including you. Let them know that this is for your class and you want them to be as honest as possible. As they are answering, record their recollections and do not interrupt or offer possible corrections.

Finally, compare your recollections and notes with those of the interviewee and use the knowledge from this chapter to assess the differences and similarities in perception and attribution.

EXCEL DATA QUESTION

The table shows the number of cars sold in the United States from January to November in 2017 and 2018. The top 22 manufacturers, plus others, are also listed. Sales data often is reported in this way to compare current sales to last year’s sales.

  1. Using Excel, compare 2017 sales to the 2018 sales for each manufacturer by computing the difference. Make a list of the manufacturers that increased sales compared to 2017; make a list of manufacturers that decreased sales. Which manufacturers are in the top five with increased sales? Which manufacturers are in the bottom five with decreased sales? (Enter values in decreasing order and negative values with a minus sign.)
  2. Using Excel, compare 2017 sales to 2018 sales for each manufacturer by computing the percentage change in sales. Make a list of the manufacturers in order of increasing percentage changes. Which manufacturers are in the top five in percentage change? Which manufacturers are in the bottom five in percentage change? (Enter values in decreasing order and negative values with a minus sign. Round percentage answers to 1 decimal place.)

Problems must follow the following guidelines:

  1. Copy your results from Excel and paste them into MS Word

Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.

PROFESSIONAL NURSING AND STATE-LEVEL REGULATIONS

Boards of Nursing (BONs) exist in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Virgin Islands. Similar entities may also exist for different regions. The mission of BONs is the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice. BONs put into practice state/region regulations for nurses that, among other things, lay out the requirements for licensure and define the scope of nursing practice in that state/region.

It can be a valuable exercise to compare regulations among various state/regional boards of nursing. Doing so can help share insights that could be useful should there be future changes in a state/region. In addition, nurses may find the need to be licensed in multiple states or regions.

To Prepare:

  • Review the Resources and reflect on the mission of state/regional boards of nursing as the protection of the public through the regulation of nursing practice.
  • Consider how key regulations may impact nursing practice.
  • Review key regulations for nursing practice of your state’s/region’s board of nursing and those of at least one other state/region and select at least two APRN regulations to focus on for this Discussion.
  • Post a comparison of at least two APRN board of nursing regulations in your state/region with those of at least one other state/region. Describe how they may differ. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how the regulations you selected may apply to Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) who have legal authority to practice within the full scope of their education and experience. Provide at least one example of how APRNs may adhere to the two regulations you selected.

Final Project Part 1: Culture Analysis Paper

This assignment allows you to demonstrate mastery of course outcomes:

1. Apply knowledge of the levels, components, and development of culture to inform decision making about organizational practices.
2. Analyze and describe the impact of organizational culture on performance.

You will be asked to analyze an organizational culture. This could be the organization you work with, or it could be some other organization to which you have access. Remember that clubs, associations, and churches can be considered organizations.

Research (data gathering) should include (but does not need to be limited to) mainly primary sources.

Primary data is the data collected by the researcher themselves, i.e.

1.interview
2. observation
3. action research
4. case studies
5. life histories
6. questionnaires
7. ethnographic research

Secondary sources are data that already exists

1. Previous research
2. Official statistics
3. Mass media products
4. Diaries
5. Letters
6. Government reports
7. Web information
8. Historical data and information

Collect your data and analyze it. Describe how you collected the data (observation, interviews, surveys).

Then, analyze the organizational culture along three dimensions: artifacts, values, and underlying assumptions. Give examples of behavior, speech, or symbols that illustrate your findings. This paper should be 5-8 pages in length. Any data used (interviews, surveys, websites, etc.) should be attached as appendices.

Describe the target audience. Include demographic information about who buys the food, what about it they value, which styles and cultures they might identify with, and most importantly, what their nutrition needs are.

Food advertisement

As a team, select one edible food item to feature in the advertisement. It can be a singular, whole food, like a banana, a recipe or a dish, like salsa, an ingredient, like cinnamon, or a product category, like cereal. The advertisements must be original, so avoid existing packaged products, like ‘Clif Bars’, and present total, not single-ingredient, nutrition information for multi-ingredient items like smoothies. The nutrition information for most single and multi-ingredient food servings can be found at FoodData Central.

The Written Portion

The written portion is a short summary consisting of sections A.B and C. It does not require a market research review, nor will it be evaluated based on the marketing data it presents. The team’s ability to align a food with the nutrients featured, the biological functions those nutrients possess, and consumer wants and needs will be the primary basis for grading. Information gathering is needed to complete the written portion, but works cited are not.

A. Describe the food. Include information like where it originates, how it is customarily eaten or used, where it is purchased, what food group it fits into, and for multi-ingredient products, what the main ingredients are. The most important part of section A is to identify 2-3 nutrients or phytochemicals that provide in one serving an amount that qualifies to use the FDA nutrition claims described in C and that satisfy the nutrition needs of the audience described in B.

B. Describe the target audience. Include demographic information about who buys the food, what about it they value, which styles and cultures they might identify with, and most importantly, what their nutrition needs are.

C. Describe the advertisement. Include information about the delivery format, whether video, graphic, song, etc., and the fonts, colors, and artistic themes that will attract the target audience. The most important part of section C is the description of two featured FDA-approved nutrition claims that will appear in the ad. The claims can be Nutrient Content Claims, Health Claims, or Structure-Function Claims, but they must be relevant to the target audience, legitimate, and properly worded. To learn the FDA criteria for Nutrient Content Claims use, review Appendix A-B, and to differentiate between Health and Structure-Function claims and the requirements for their use, review Appendix C.
