Part 3: Identify “Targets” for the Letter of Appeal (20 points)

The goal here is to get an argument into the hands of someone that can and will do something about your issue. Although the President of the United States can do something about many ocean-related issues, it is highly unlikely he or she will. Therefore, Presidents, Prime Ministers, or the Secretary-General of the United Nations are not good choices because they are busy with other issues!

It is best to target elected officials at the local or regional levels; they are much more likely to be familiar with the issue locally and its effect on the communities they represent. Former students have had little success in the past with congress and senate members. The targets can also be individuals within corporations and/or research institutes. International targets are perfectly acceptable. College professors love to talk about their research topic!

When researching targets, research their background, and how long they have been in office or at their job. Find out what their position is on the issue; many should have a website with stated policy positions. Make sure to collect and submit full contact information for each target; full addresses will be needed the formal letters in MPP Part 4.

For Grading Part 3:

Submit a list of at least 3 “targets” with a brief explanation the purpose for each target, including their relevance to the issue, policy positions, and any personal connection to the issue. For full credit on this assignment, include specific names of an individual within each target organization, and full physical address information for each target. You will need the physical address for your formal letter in MPP Part 4.

Part 1 and 2 is attached below.

You will work in groups to complete your final project- Ultimate Leader Profile.
Imagine you are on the search committee for the CEO of an organization (the
organization can be made up but should be loosely based on an organization you are
familiar with).
The search committee is charged with building a profile of an ideal leader for the
organization.

This Quiz is based on the 4 types of Criticism taught in the Critical Thinking Criticism taught in the Critical Thinking “Why Free Tuition Helps All The Wrong Stiudents” by Michael Lau

In early February, the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) released a research document. It determined, to the surprise of no one, that it is in the public’s interest for the federal government to hand students billions of dollars more every year. One demand is a doubling in funding for the Youth Employment Strategy, which would cost $330 million per year. (If the CFS’s provincial campaigns to increase minimum wages to $15 are successful, private employers will surely hire fewer students. But governments as a rule are happy to overpay, hence the request for another $330 million.)
Then comes the much larger demand: The CFS wants an end to undergraduate tuition fees in Canada. The ask comes despite the fact that only about one-quarter of universities’ revenues come from tuition fees, and the federal Liberals already promised upwards of $750 million of additional annual funding during the campaign. But the CFS is unsatisfied with $750 million; it wants more.
Marginal enrollment from eliminating tuition fees will likely come from unmotivated, lower-ability students

Within just a few weeks, the CFS was suddenly a whole lot closer to getting exactly what it wanted, at least in one province — and it didn’t even have to wait for the federal budget. The government of Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, Justin Trudeau’s ideological soulmate at Queen’s Park, announced an overhaul of the student grant system. Under the Ontario Student Grant, “average college and university tuition will be free for students with financial need from families with incomes of $50,000 or less, and tuition will be made more affordable for middle-income families,” according to the Ministry of Finance. The “free” tuition will be covered by re-directing funds from current student grant programs and eliminating tuition tax credits.
There will be more grants and more interest-free loans. The Ministry of Finance boasts that more than half of students “from families with incomes of $83,000 or less will receive non-repayable grants that will exceed average college or university tuition” and that “all students will be the same or better off as under the Ontario Tuition Grant.”
What happens when costly services like university education are provided for free or at a steep discount? Invariably, there will be overconsumption. In fact, there already is, as seen in the relative unattractiveness of university graduates for employers, who are evidently more hungry for workers with non-university skills: For every year since 1998, Canadian youth were more likely to be employed if they had obtained a post-secondary diploma or certificate after high school instead of a university degree.
Making university education cheaper will fuel more overconsumption. It gets even worse when you consider where the marginal enrollment will take place, and among what kinds of students. High-ability students who enroll in mathematics, business, or science programs are already in university, because they believe the increased future incomes will provide a sufficient return on their investments in education.
Marginal enrollment from eliminating tuition fees will likely come from unmotivated, lower-ability students, and in less practical programs like theatre history or equity studies. These are students for whom university education is an unprofitable investment unless taxpayers are footing most or all of the tuition bill. Meanwhile, the structure of Ontario’s new funding arrangement actually has the potential to lure would-be students to less expensive programs like arts, where the province covers nearly all of the tuition with its $6,000 a year average grant, rather than a $11,000-a-year architecture degree or a $13,000-a-year engineering degree, where the province will cover only part of the cost.
Eliminating tuition fees will also have the perverse effect of discouraging students from graduating on time. Students are less motivated to avoid failing courses if they don’t have to pay for additional semesters.
So cheapening or eliminating tuition fees likely won’t mean better computer scientists and more engineers; it will mean more party students, more 25-year-old social justice warriors in their seventh year of undergraduate human rights studies, and more campus climate activists. But then, Wynne and Trudeau surely wouldn’t mind having a lot more of those.

Examples of articles to look for when searching the literature:
For example, if you are interested in the role of or enrolled in the Adult Gerontology program the article, Supporting cardiovascular risk reduction in overweight and obese hypertensive patients through DASH diet and lifestyle education by primary care nurse practitioners, authored by Jarl, J., Tolentino, J., James, K., Clark, M., & Ryan, M. (2014). Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 26(9), 498-503. doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12124, describes an intervention utilized among overweight and obese hypertensive patients that encourages Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and lifestyle changes, designed and led by a primary care nurse practitioner (NP). The article discusses how the NP‐led primary care intervention on diet and lifestyle showed early success in improving the health of overweight and obese hypertensive patients. The article concludes with a discussion regarding how an investment in NP‐led diet and lifestyle counseling should be considered among high‐risk patients in the primary care setting.
Another example, if you are interested in the role of the Family Nurse Practitioner or enrolled in the FNP program the article, Nurse practitioner home-based primary care program improves patient outcomes. Trilla, F., Decastro, T., Harrison, N., Mowry, D., Croke, A., Bicket, M., & Buechner, J. (2018). The Journal for Nurse Practitioners,14(9), e185–e188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2018.08.003, describes a nurse practitioner-led program that successfully provides primary care in-home. The article discusses trend analyses of 2 cohorts of Medicaid patients that show positive program impact and an immediate and sustained reduction in inpatient admissions and emergency department visits. The intervention also demonstrated a total medical expense per member per month savings beginning in the intervention year and an opportunity to expand to other high-risk fragile populations.

You may use your text book, articles from the course or additional resources related to your topic. Please do not use websites, this is a scholarly writing piece.
1. Identify ONE chosen article and describe the problem that the APN recognized as a gap/disparity where improvement in quality/outcomes was necessary. What attributes made the APN a good fit to recognize/address the problem? Please use the heading, Description of the problem, for this section. 15 points
2. What was the intervention? What was the direct role of the APN? What attributes helped the APN successfully implement the intervention? Please use the heading, Intervention, for this section. 15 points
3. Discuss challenges that were disclosed in the article. What specific challenges might the APN have encountered in his/her role? How do they relate to challenges discussed in your text/course articles that the APN faces? Are there organizations that support the role? If so, how? Please use the heading, Challenges, for this section. 15 points
4. How were the findings disseminated? Describe where this evidence-based practice led to a model of care or paved the way for further investigation/research. Can you find other articles or presentations that cite the findings of the article? Please use the heading, Dissemination, for this heading. 15 points
5. Scholarly presentation and synthesis throughout paper (this includes grammar, spelling and sentence structure). 15 points
6. Formatting: the paper will be approximately 10 pages (Title page=1, Content= 6-7 pages, References=1-2 pages) 5 points
7. References were published within 10 years, unless a White paper or seminal article on the topic. 10 points
8. Correct use APA in body of paper and in references (7th edition), student version. 5 points
9. Appropriate selection of an article for the assignment. 5 points
Examples of articles to look for when searching the literature:
For example, if you are interested in the role of or enrolled in the Adult Gerontology program the article, Supporting cardiovascular risk reduction in overweight and obese hypertensive patients through DASH diet and lifestyle education by primary care nurse practitioners, authored by Jarl, J., Tolentino, J., James, K., Clark, M., & Ryan, M. (2014). Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 26(9), 498-503. doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12124, describes an intervention utilized among overweight and obese hypertensive patients that encourages Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and lifestyle changes, designed and led by a primary care nurse practitioner (NP). The article discusses how the NP‐led primary care intervention on diet and lifestyle showed early success in improving the health of overweight and obese hypertensive patients. The article concludes with a discussion regarding how an investment in NP‐led diet and lifestyle counseling should be considered among high‐risk patients in the primary care setting.
Another example, if you are interested in the role of the Family Nurse Practitioner or enrolled in the FNP program the article, Nurse practitioner home-based primary care program improves patient outcomes. Trilla, F., Decastro, T., Harrison, N., Mowry, D., Croke, A., Bicket, M., & Buechner, J. (2018). The Journal for Nurse Practitioners,14(9), e185–e188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2018.08.003, describes a nurse practitioner-led program that successfully provides primary care in-home. The article discusses trend analyses of 2 cohorts of Medicaid patients that show positive program impact and an immediate and sustained reduction in inpatient admissions and emergency department visits. The intervention also demonstrated a total medical expense per member per month savings beginning in the intervention year and an opportunity to expand to other high-risk fragile populations.
Evidence Based Practice and the APN role
Research and application of evidence-based practice is important to the various roles of the advanced practice nurse (APN). Your readings have described specific outcomes that have been enhanced and which are demonstrated through research findings surrounding the APN role.
In the advance practice area that you are planning to enter (FNP, CRNA, NNP, etc.), or have an interest in, find ONE research article in the literature of the APN role applying evidence-based practice to improve patient or clinical outcomes. The article MUST have been published in the last 10 years. This article, and its identified evidence-based practice will be the primary focus of this assignment.
Articles that are not considered appropriate include any integrative or systematic review, articles written by DNP or PhD students, case study or commentary.

Examples of articles to look for when searching the literature:
For example, if you are interested in the role of or enrolled in the Adult Gerontology program the article, Supporting cardiovascular risk reduction in overweight and obese hypertensive patients through DASH diet and lifestyle education by primary care nurse practitioners, authored by Jarl, J., Tolentino, J., James, K., Clark, M., & Ryan, M. (2014). Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, 26(9), 498-503. doi: 10.1002/2327-6924.12124, describes an intervention utilized among overweight and obese hypertensive patients that encourages Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and lifestyle changes, designed and led by a primary care nurse practitioner (NP). The article discusses how the NP‐led primary care intervention on diet and lifestyle showed early success in improving the health of overweight and obese hypertensive patients. The article concludes with a discussion regarding how an investment in NP‐led diet and lifestyle counseling should be considered among high‐risk patients in the primary care setting.
Another example, if you are interested in the role of the Family Nurse Practitioner or enrolled in the FNP program the article, Nurse practitioner home-based primary care program improves patient outcomes. Trilla, F., Decastro, T., Harrison, N., Mowry, D., Croke, A., Bicket, M., & Buechner, J. (2018). The Journal for Nurse Practitioners,14(9), e185–e188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2018.08.003, describes a nurse practitioner-led program that successfully provides primary care in-home. The article discusses trend analyses of 2 cohorts of Medicaid patients that show positive program impact and an immediate and sustained reduction in inpatient admissions and emergency department visits. The intervention also demonstrated a total medical expense per member per month savings beginning in the intervention year and an opportunity to expand to other high-risk fragile populations.
Evidence Based Practice and the APN role
Research and application of evidence-based practice is important to the various roles of the advanced practice nurse (APN). Your readings have described specific outcomes that have been enhanced and which are demonstrated through research findings surrounding the APN role.
In the advance practice area that you are planning to enter (FNP, CRNA, NNP, etc.), or have an interest in, find ONE research article in the literature of the APN role applying evidence-based practice to improve patient or clinical outcomes. The article MUST have been published in the last 10 years. This article, and its identified evidence-based practice will be the primary focus of this assignment.
Articles that are not considered appropriate include any integrative or systematic review, articles written by DNP or PhD students, case study or commentary.
In this summative paper, consider what you have learned about the role of the APN in this course. As you read the article consider the following questions below. You will then be required to fully discuss all questions and support your discussions with evidence from the literature. You may use your text book, articles from the course or additional resources related to your topic. Please do not use websites, this is a scholarly writing piece.
