What changes do you think are necessary to how can nurses advocate to promote safety for residents and staff.

Considering the current pandemic (COVID-19) and the devastation it has caused to residents in long term care facilities, what changes do you think are necessary to how can nurses advocate to promote safety for residents and staff.

What are some social and psychological difficulties that the patientmay discuss with you?

Checklist for Care Plan AssignmentUse this checklist to help guide you as you work on the Care Plan assignment to ensure you have completed everything required of you.The first step is to choose any health issue (e.g. smoking, obesity, cardiovascular disease, ect). You will then write a SCRIPToImagine that an individual with the disorder/disease you have chosen has come into your care. The patient requests to sit and talk with you about his or her situation. This conversation must include aspects of the disease/disorder from all three biological, social and psychological aspects.oThe conversation is completely made up (unless you want to use a real life patient situation, you may).oYou will write the script in the exact way a script is written:oi.e. Patient:oNurse:oPatient: oGive ONE sentence right before getting into the script to give some context. For example, “patient is a male, 45 years old, and is in a [hospital setting, has been there for 3 weeks] or [has come into the CLSC looking for some information on smoking]…”The script is a conversation between you and the patient. This requires you to get inside the mind of the patient. What are the physical symptoms that he or she may complain of?This is not the time to list off all of thesymptoms of a disorder. The script has to sound real, so realistically, people do not speak robotically. What would be a few of the main, most salient physical complaints they may have?What are some social and psychological difficulties that the patientmay discuss with you? What fears may they express? How would you respond? How would you convey empathy and trust?(I will NOT be looking to see if you are giving them solutions to all of their complaints in the script. Rather, I will largely be looking to see if you are sympathetic and caring. For example, if a patient just tells you he is very anxious about an upcoming surgery, do you then turn around and say “now tell me about your family”-this would not tell me you are sympathetic and understanding towards the fears your patient is expressing to you. Or, do you say “I can imagine that is difficult. Etc….”.When writing the script, particularly from the social and psychological aspects, be sure to draw from class discussions (e.g. if the patient is in long-term care, how might this affect them? Does medical jargon or physician-patient communication contribute to their distress, do you use ‘signposting’ when changing subjects, etc.) Be sure tohave some of these issues come through in the script.There needs to be a clear start and end to the discussion (it should not begin or end abruptly).I do not mind how you order the issues that the patient discusses (it does not have to be written such that physical issues are first, then social, then psychological-you can intermix the issues however you want, whatever is easiest for you.LENGTH for this section-3-4 DOUBLE-SPACED PAGES. Please use size 12 font-Times New Roman.Part Two-You will now write up the care plan.

Please do NOT make the mistake of using the official Nursing Care plans for this project. You will organize the care plan as outlined here.You are now going to use the script you have just created to create the care plan.Redescribe some of the biological symptoms your client described and explain how that fits with a diagnosis of the disorder/disease. Here, you will need to provide a brief description of the health issue, including the symptoms. Therefore, you would say, “in the script, patient X complained of X symptoms. This fits with a diagnosis of [said disorder] because those with this disease often experience…………… (symptoms). [said disorder] is overall described as…………..” This is the only place where a small amount of research is required to quickly describe what the disease is and what thesymptoms are. You may use textbooks, nursing books, or academic journals for this (just not wikipedia, ask.com-anything that is not legitimate). Wherever your info comes from, please reference it IN-TEXT and in a Reference Page in the back. I am really just looking for 1, 2 references MAX. When referencing, use APA. If you are unsure of APA, check out the APA website, orthe JAC library website, or see me .You will then come up with some solutions to put in place to ease the physical symptoms(so it is normal if all you are talking about here is perhaps medications for these symptoms, or muscular therapies, etc, depending on the disease).Then, redescribe some of the social difficulties your client expressed and put in place a care plan for this. (e.g. does the patient lack support? is the disease socially stigmatizing? Are there physician-patient communication issues? What are your recommendations?)Then, redescribe some of the psychological difficulties and describe your recommendations (here is where you can also address any patient fears, effects of long-term care, etc among other psychological dilemmas.)LENGTH for this section-3-4 DOUBLE-SPACED PAGES. Please use size 12 font-Times New Roman.Some other points:Please have a title page.Please havea separate reference page for your one-two references (this doesn’t count as part of the 3-4 pages per section).When referencing in that one part, be careful NOT to plagiarize. Direct sentences word for word need to be in quotations, followed by (author last name(s), year). However, paraphrasing is preferred-take main thoughts, put it in your own words, followed by (author last name(s), year). If there is any plagiarism, entire project is a 0 and then reported. There should be no reason for plagiarism as there are only a few sentences that will come from another source. Everything else about this project is made up from your own thoughts and views. If plagiarism concerns you, you may also see me for this

Will leaders entering burnout drive good followers away or draw opportunists?

This course revolves around ethical leadership and management. The primary topic of this paper is to explore the influence of followers upon leaders and vice versa in the context of leadership burnout. For example, will a lack of good followers provoke more rapid leader burnout? Will leaders entering burnout drive good followers away or draw opportunists? HOW is ethics involved in this situation? The paper should be a thoughtful analysis and not a general summary of the topic. It should also include at least three leadership theories and exhibit solid reasoning – correctly citing and applying the concepts, principles, and theories of ethics and leadership.

The paper should be prepared using the APA format. Grading will stress content analysis and style. Seek to creatively APPLY leadership theory. The paper work must be more than a mere review of facts and articles. It must demonstrate reasoning by APPLYING at least three relevant theories and models together to analyze the topic.

The paper must be at least three thousand words in length, not counting tables, figures, reference list, and the abstract. It must correctly cite and use at least 12 references. ALL cited sources must appear both within the body of the text and in the references list. The paper must use articles from at least 2 respected journals or books.

Here is a suggested outline:

TITLE PAGE
ABSTRACT – limit to one page
INTRODUCTION – Short! Explain why the topic is important! Include the objectives of the paper
LITERATURE REVIEW
ANALYSIS – Apply the models; make inferences, draw conclusions
DISCUSSION – Discuss the implications of your findings above, especially for managers
CONCLUSION – Restate your conclusions and sum up, in about on half-page
REFERENCES
APPENDICES (optional)

In choosing a topic, avoid shallow, insipid generalities ( e.g. “the importance of leadership”)

Choose a topic of current importance that has not already been overdone. Also, where possible, exemplify your concepts and conclusions by consistently referring to a single, real, focal leader (Avoid US Presidents and generals).

What do these two buildings have in common? How do they differ?

  1. Position yourself. (100 to 200 words)

There’s an oft-quoted saying, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture,” that seems to suggest that art needs to be experienced directly and that writing or analysis is beside the point. What’s your initial reaction to this saying? What do you think it means, and do you agree?

  1. Summarize and analyze. (200 to 400 words)

Start by familiarizing yourself with two educational buildings: the Brown Center on the MICA campus (designed by Ziger/Snead and Charles Brickbauer and completed 2003) and the Rolex Learning Center at the École Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne, Switzerland (designed by SANAA and completed in 2010). What do you remember of your experiences taking classes in Brown, visiting for lectures or exhibitions, or using the building for other activities? What activities take place here? Who uses the building? How does it seem to be organized? What does it look like? How does it relate to the MICA campus and to the neighborhood? Then watch the video on the Rolex Learning Center, asking yourself the same questions.

What do these two buildings have in common? How do they differ?

Read through the two reviews of these buildings, both published in major professional journals shortly after the building’s completion. What do you learn from each review? What ideas and information does each author convey? Does the author take a position on the value or significance of the building?

  1. Evaluate. (200 to 400 words)

In what ways do these two articles help you better understand the buildings they describe? Are the claims they make about the buildings supported by your own experiences or your own observations of the video? Do the authors emphasize certain aspects of the building over others? Do they seem to miss anything important?
