In this section you will discuss the evidence that clinicians gather to diagnose the two diseases/disorders that you selected for Part 1. Use only credible sources for your Part II sources (Review “Is My Source Credible?” at https://sites.umgc.edu/library/libhow/credibility.cfm )
Part II submission should include the following information for both diseases you chose in Part I:
(a) Signs and symptoms of the disease.
(b) Explain the effects of the disease on healthy body structure and function, and how these effects relate to signs and symptoms.
(c) Discuss the tools or diagnostic tests that are used to make the diagnosis. Explain, in general terms, how each tool or test works and how the data from the tool or test conveys the relevant information to the clinician about the body function or structure that is impacted by the disease.
(d) For your Summary, discuss the following ideas:
– What differences and similarities exist between communicable and non-communicable diseases/disorders based on your choices?
– Risk factors
What are the risk factors for each of the diseases/disorders?
Are any of the risk factors in common?
Are any risk factors controllable? Why and how?
– How are the diagnostic tools or tests similar or different for the two diseases/disorders?
– Discuss at least one promising treatment or cure for each of the diseases/disorders you selected.
– Are there societal conditions that predispose these diseases/disorders to certain groups (think of race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, gender, age)? If a societal change is the cure (such as decreasing social injustice or less reliance on fossil fuels that pollute the environment), discuss any progress toward societal change.
(e) Written in your own words (less than 20% quoted material)
Keep in mind that longer does not always mean better. Good writing practices, including the use of correct grammar, punctuation, sentence and paragraph structure, and a clear flow of thought, will account for a portion of your grade.

Gap Analysis and Learning Needs Assessment
Whether teaching preschoolers their ABCs or advanced practice nurses a new concept in patient care, education is always designed to fulfill a need or change a behavior to get to a desired state. In professional nursing practice, learning is designed to address a practice gap or correct a problem. Before you can develop outcomes that inform professional development activities for practicing nurses, you first have to know what that problem is. Thus, the first step of the educational design process for the NPD Practitioner is assessment of a practice gap. The second step is identification of learning needs to address the practice gap. As mentioned earlier, learning needs in academic settings are defined by internal and external factors influencing the curriculum and will be explored further in another course.

The third step of the educational design process for all nurse educators is developing learning outcomes based on learning needs. We then articulate the path to achieving these learning outcomes by identifying cognitive, behavioral, and emotional tasks in the form of learning objectives. These learning objectives provide a structure for planning educational activities and inform students of what they will actually be doing.
Learning outcomes and objectives must be measurable because they serve as the basis for developing evaluations of learning, the final step of the educational design process. While the actual methods of evaluating learning for nursing students and practicing nurses often differs, approaches to identifying appropriate evaluations are similar. Evaluations must align to learning objectives or learning outcomes for a learning experience to be cohesive.
For this Assignment, you will assume the role of the Nursing Professional Development Practitioner for all three stages of the educational design process. The assignment consists of three parts, Below are the details of each part .
Assignment (6–8 pages, not including title and reference pages)
Part 1: Gap Analysis and Learning Needs Assessment
Note: All 3 parts of this Assignment should be submitted as one cohesive, 6-8 page.
For Part 1, you will analyze the practice gap for Percentage of delayed patients who came to the emergency department with stroke symptoms who received brain scan results outside of the 45 minute window using the Hospital Compare website. You will identify the potential learning need to address this practice gap and explain approaches that could be used to analyze the identified gap and assess the learning need(s).
To prepare:
Review the Resources about gap analysis and learning needs assessment as they relate to practice settings.
Review the Educational Plan Exemplars found in the Resources for this week and consider how these plans might inform your Educational Plan.
Review the Educational Plan Template and use the areas of the template designated for Week 5 to complete Part 1 of your Module 3 Assignment.
Assignment: (1–2 pages not including title and reference pages)
Use the Educational Plan Template for the gap you identified in the Discussion for this week and complete the following:
Identify the current state and the desired state to determine the gap, or area for improvement.
Identify a potential learning need that may be contributing to the practice gap.
The Educational Plan Template will serve as the basis for completing a 1- to 2-page paper in which you will complete the following:
Explain your approach to identifying the practice gap from the scenario.
Explain your approach to identifying the learning need based on the practice gap.
Use your Resources to support your explanations. Use proper APA formatting and references.
You will submit Part 1 of your Assignment along with Part 2 and Part 3 in one cohesive paper.
Part 2: Writing Outcomes and Objectives to Plan Activities
Note: All 3 parts of this Assignment should be submitted as one cohesive, 6-8 page paper.
To prepare:
Consider how learning objectives are used to organize and scaffold content and plan activities.
Review the Educational Plan Template you began for Part 1, and use the areas of the template designated for Week 6 to complete Part 2 of your Assignment.
Assignment (2–3 pages not including title and reference pages) Update your Educational Plan Template by completing the following:
Rewrite the learning objective for each of the three domains of learning to address the learning outcome at a higher level (i.e., level 2 and above)
Identify the level within Bloom’s Taxonomy for each learning objective.
List 3 topics you would teach to address each objective. (Note: You will need 3 topics per learning objective for a total of 9 topics).
The Educational Plan Template will serve as the basis for completing a 2- to 3-page paper in which you will respond to the following:
Explain how the desired learning outcome you developed addresses the learning need.
Explain how each learning objective addresses the learning outcome.
Explain how each learning objective addresses the identified domain of learning and level within Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Hamlet Essay
As you have learned, there are many questions one can examine in Hamlet. If you like, you can use one of the following prompts as a starting point for analysis.
What archetypes do you find in Hamlet?
Is Hamlet an example of an Oedipal impulse?
Do the Id, Ego, and Superego freeze him from action, propel him to his tragic fate?
Is Gertrude a heroic woman who owns her female sexuality without apology, who nurtures Hamlet, and who survives in a male dominated world?
In terms of our own cultural agenda of corporate power, Hamlet and Claudius are the great multinationals, but who gets downsized in the play? What work is outsourced to another country? What other modern parallels might one make?
In terms of literary Darwinism, is Hamlet really a failure due to his lack of evolutionary fitness, or does his sacrifice for the group promote the survival of the country and therefore the species, making him an altruistic evolutionary hero?
In terms of Dialogics from chapter 5, what voices are part of the dialogue and what voices are silenced or deemphasized? Is ambiguity a source of Hamlet’s universal appeal because it is more consistent with our lived experience?
What is this “paradox of man” and how does the play explore that paradox? Is there a connection between the paradox in Hamlet and celebrities in our own world?
Does Hamlet’s pain arise because he is such an idealist, and if he were a realist, would he have been more adaptive to circumstances, less haunted by ghosts?
The play also has historical connections to the politics of its time, and one New York Times columnist, Maureen Dowd, often compared President George Bush to
Shakespearian characters, including Hamlet, since Bush 43 often seems haunted by the ghost of his father, Bush 41. In an article on the Katrina disaster, she wrote, “In an interview on the Upper Ninth Ward’s desolate North Dorgenois Street, the president told NBC’s Brian Williams that, besides Camus, he had recently read a book on the Battle of New Orleans and “three Shakespeares.” A White House aide said one of them was “Hamlet.” What could be more fitting? A prince who dithers instead of acting and then acts precipitously at the wrong moment, not paying attention when someone vulnerable drowns.” There are many modern or current people and events that can be compared with insight to Hamlet.
A popular essay topic is: How does Hamlet fit all the elements of the revenge tragedy mentioned in HCAL on page 34-35?
Like I said at the beginning, there are many questions your essays can examine, so pick one and go for it. And of course, you need not pick one of the ones here if you have your own thesis for the play, but be sure to use quotes from HCAL in support of your analysis. As always, it should be 4 pages (1200 words), double-spaced, Times New Roman, size 12 font. Hamlet touches our lives today in so many ways because he is representative of so much of our humanity. I snipped out a piece of an editorial below just to emphasize that Hamlet is a living, breathing part of our current culture.
Hamlet continues to permeate our modern culture as a touchstone for communication. It is possible to write an essay that explores the continuing impact of this most famous Shakespeare character.
Well, there are a few suggestions–happy writing!
From 2008 but Hamlet remains everywhere among us:
‘To be or not to be?’ Hagel auditions for Hamlet
by Bob Hoig, Publisher
Midlands Business Journal
Chuck Hagel picked the University of Nebraska at Omaha Alumni Center as the stage for a much-hyped Monday morning announcement about his future. Is he running for president in 2008? Is he seeking a third term in the U.S. Senate? Is he returning to private business? All that came out of Hagel’s no-news “news” conference – after a week of over-the-top national and local heavy breathing in the media – was that Hagel is…is…is…still thinking. A better setting for this performance might have been the University Theater, where an audition for Hamlet, the vacillating prince of Denmark, would have been more seemly. By flaunting indecisiveness, Hagel, whether he understands it or not, has swept himself from the presidential board for good in 2008. Nobody wants to hear somebody’s “to be or not to be” soliloquy, especially when the try-out is for President of the United States during times that try men’s souls.
