Application Essay 5
Read: Chapter Four: Structural Functionalism by Michele Dillon (our textbook)
https://www .benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/20/05/16045942/a-snapshot-of-americas-medical- marijuana-markets-rhode-island
Like other states in New England (and elsewhere), Rhode Island has grappled with the extent to which marijuana should be legalized. The above article examines some of the history and considers some of the economic implications of doing so or not. I assigned this article because it does not take a strong political or moral stance on the issue.
Drawing upon Mertons theories, what are at least four manifest functions for those who want to legalize marijuana in Rhode Island? What are at least four latent functions of passing legalization laws? Two of these latent functions should be functional and two should be dysfunctional. Because it violates federal law, would Merton consider the marijuana industry a form of deviance? Why or why not? In what ways is the marijuana business an adaptation to the institutionalized means for attaining desired cultural goals? From Mertons perspective, how does the marijuana industrys approach to selling marijuana differ from dealers who sell pot individually and do not operate out of public storefronts? Finally, apply Mertons five-part typology of individual adaptation to societal conditions to the issue of marijuana legalization. Who are the conformists, the innovators, etc?
It is fine to quote from the book, but be sure to cite material that you are using, whether its a direct quote or a paraphrase. This means using quotation marks around any words that are not your own, and including the authors last name, year the book was published, and the page number of the quotation.

Application Essays: In order to develop theoretical knowledge, critical thinking, and written communication skills, I will assign five application essays during the semester. An application essay requires that students apply theories we are learning about in class to a real-world situation. I will assign the application essays each week. Responses should be in the form of an essay of at least 300 words. Application essays should demonstrate detailed knowledge of the theory, based on the course materials, and apply the theory correctly. Application essays should be free from opinions. The goal is to explain and apply a theory, not to critique it. Application essays should be uploaded to Blackboard on or before the assigned date. Each essay is worth 50 points or 5% of the total course grade. Combined, the five application essays are worth 250 points or 25% of the total course grade.
Formatting and submitting papers: All written work should be formatted the same way: Word (.docx or .doc) or pdf format, double-spaced and in 12-point Times New Roman font. Margins should be no larger than one inch. Any citation style (APA, MLA, etc.) is fine, but papers must be consistent in using the same style throughout. A bibliography is not necessary unless sources not assigned for this class are used. If that is the case, only the additional sources need to be cited. Footnotes are acceptable if you want to use them. Please do not use endnotes. All assignments should be uploaded to Blackboard on or before the deadline.
Explain and examine how nonverbal behaviors affect interviewer ratings of candidates.
Mr. K. is a 57-year-old
man who consulted his physician after noticing marked leg pains while playing
golf. He had previously noticed increasing fatigue and discomfort in his legs
associated with moderate exercise. When sitting for extended periods with legs
dangling, his legs became red, and sometimes his feet felt numb. His history
indicates he smokes cigarettes and is chronically overweight. His blood
cholesterol and other lipid levels are abnormal, and his physician suspects
peripheral atherosclerosis as the cause of his discomfort.
Discussion Questions:
Discuss the development
of atherosclerosis, including the predisposing factors in this case and the
pathophysiological changes.
Discuss the complications
that might develop in this patient. (Pathophysiology, Signs and Symptoms.)
Discuss the treatments
for all aspects of the patients condition, including slowing the progress of
the
atherosclerosis,
maintaining circulation in the leg, and treating complications.
Prepare an 8-10 minute audio training tutorial (video is optional) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators.
As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the Conabedian Quality Assessment Framework activity. Quality health care delivery requires systematic action. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider how the triad of structure (such as the hospital, clinic, provider qualifications/organizational characteristics) and process (such as the delivery/coordination/education/protocols/practice style or standard of care) may be modified to achieve quality outcomes.
The American Nursing Association (ANA) established the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) in 1998 to track and report on quality indicators heavily influenced by nursing action.
NDNQI was established as a standardized approach to evaluating nursing performance in relation to patient outcomes. It provides a database and quality measurement program to track clinical performance and to compare nursing quality measures against other hospital data at the national, regional, and state levels. Nursing-sensitive quality indicators help establish evidence-based practice guidelines in the inpatient and outpatient settings to enhance quality care outcomes and initiate quality improvement educational programs, outreach, and protocol development.
The quality indicators the NDNQI monitors are organized into three categories: structure, process, and outcome. Theorist Avedis Donabedian first identified these categories. Donabedians theory of quality health care focused on the links between quality outcomes and the structures and processes of care (Grove, Gray, Jay, Jay, & Burns, 2018).
Nurses must be knowledgeable about the indicators their workplaces monitor. Some nurses deliver direct patient care that leads to a monitored outcome. Other nurses may be involved in data collection and analysis. In addition, monitoring organizations, including managed care entities, exist to gather data from individual organizations to analyze overall industry quality. All of these roles are important to advance quality and safety outcomes.
The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics support monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an 810 minute audio (or video) training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. Your recording will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses role in supporting accurate reporting and high quality results.

Preparation
This assessment requires you to prepare an 810 minute audio training tutorial (with optional video) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. To successfully prepare for your assessment, you will need to complete the following preparatory activities:
Select a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator that you see as important to a selected type of health care system.
Conduct independent research on the most current information about the selected nursing-sensitive quality indicator.
Interview a professional colleague or contact who is familiar with quality monitoring and how technology can help to collect and report quality indicator data. You do not need to submit the transcript of your conversation, but do integrate what you learned from the interview into the audio tutorial. Consider these questions for your interview:
What is your experience with collecting data and entering it into a database?
What challenges have you experienced?
How does your organization share with the nursing staff and other members of the health care system the quality improvement monitoring results?
What role do bedside nurses and other frontline staff have in entering the data? For example, do staff members enter the information into an electronic medical record for extraction? Or do they enter it into another system? How effective is this process?
Watch the Informatics and Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators Video Examplar.
Recording Your Presentation
To prepare to record the audio for your presentation, complete the following:
Set up and test your microphone or headset using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear and high quality when captured by the microphone.
Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.
Review the for Kaltura to record your presentation.
View Creating a Presentation: A Guide to Writing and Speaking. This video addresses the primary areas involved in creating effective audiovisual presentations. You can return to this resource throughout the process of creating your presentation to view the tutorial appropriate for you at each stage.
Notes:
You may use other tools to record your tutorial. You will, however, need to consult Using Kaltura for instructions on how to upload your audio-recorded tutorial into the courseroom, or you must provide a working link your instructor can easily access.
You may also choose to create a video of your tutorial, but this is not required.
If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact DisabilityServices@Capella.edu to request accommodations.
Instructions
For this assessment, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home health, managed care, et cetera. Your Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address how this information is collected and disseminated across the organization. It would also like the training to describe the role nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results.
The Council indicates a recording is preferable to a written fact sheet due to the popularity of audio blogs. In this way, new hires can listen to the tutorial on their own time using their phone or other device.
As a result of this need, you offer to create an audio tutorial orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need a script to guide your audio recording. You also plan to incorporate into your script the insights you learned from conducting an interview with an authority on quality monitoring and the use of technology to collect and report quality indicator data.
You determine that you will cover the following topics in your audio tutorial script:
Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator
What is the NDNQI?
What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators?
Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in your tutorial?
Why is this quality indicator important to monitor?
Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on quality of care and patient safety.
Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care?
Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data
According to your interview and other resources, how does your organization collect data on this quality indicator?
How does the organization disseminate aggregate data?
What role do nurses play in supporting accurate reporting and high-quality results?
As an example, consider the importance of accurately entering data regarding nursing interventions.
After completing your script, practice delivering your tutorial several times before recording it.
