Assessed Factors Nursing Decisions

By Academic Wizard Blog

Assessed Factors Nursing Decisions

Examine the five factors to be assessed before delegating (potential for harm, etc.) for a particular task.

In making a decision to delegate a nursing task, the following five factors should be assessed:

1. Potential for harm: The nurse must determine how much risk the activity carries for an individual patient.

2. Complexity of the task: The more complex the activity the less desirable it is to delegate.,

3. Amount of problem solving and innovation required:, If an uncomplicated task requires special attention adaptation or an innovative approach it should not be delegated.,

4. Unpredictability of outcome:, When a patient’s response to the activity is unknown or unpredictable it is not advisable to delegate that activity.,

5. Level of patient interaction: ,It is not advisable to delegate so many tasks that the amount of time the nurse spends with the patient is decreased to the point that a therapeutic relationship cannot be established between the nurse and the patient. (AACN, 2004Links to an external site., p.10)

Explain why or why not a task would be delegated depending on each factor.

using an example you can share, and/or face at your current practice setting? (I work at a needle exchange program where understaff and delegation has become a big problem as more work has to be divided when staff is already burnout). Assessed Factors Nursing Decisions

The Ten Commandments

By Academic Wizard Blog

The Ten Commandments

Kathryn

Discuss how we can regard the Ten Commandments as written in two distinct sections.

The Ten Commandments can be divided into two distinct sections. The first four concern man’s relationship with God, and the following six concern relationships with others. As mentioned in previous discussion posts, having a right view of God allows people to have better relationships with other people. This connects the individual commandments.

Initially, the dyads did not make sense to me, as they did not seem related to one another. After talking through the examples with my husband, it was pointed out that Commandment one, have no other gods before me and Commandment six, do not kill, are related to one another. All of God’s created people are His image-bearers and worthy of life. Just as we are supposed to value God above all else, we should also value other people.

Share how you have been able to live out one of these dyads and how they fit together in your life experience.

A dyad that is lived out in my life is not bowing down to other gods and not committing adultery. Both commands, like commandments one and five, require putting God and people in the correct places. This command specifically requires me to place my spouse in a proper high place. I should not put a thing, person, or idea above God in my life and should not put any other person above my husband.

Diamond

The Ten Commandments can definitely be seen as two sections. The first set of Commandments 1st through 4th is about our relationship with God. and The second set of Commandments 5th through the 10th is about our relationships with other people. I think this division makes sense because it shows how our faith and our actions towards others are connected.

For me the commandment to “Honor your father and your mother” has always been important to me and I see how it relates to “You shall not bear false witness.”, Growing up my parents were big on honesty and respect not just towards them but in all my relationships. ,I remember when I was younger and I didn’t always agree with their rules and sometimes it felt easier to withhold the truth to avoid getting in trouble., But when I did it never felt right and it created distance and mistrust. ,Over time I learned that by being honest it showed them respect and honored the values they were trying to teach me.,

Now as an adult I realize that those lessons shaped how I build trust with others. Whether it’s in my personal relationships or at work being honest and upfront even when it’s uncomfortable has helped me create genuine and stronger relationships.

Analyzing Real World Data

By Academic Wizard Blog

Analyzing Real World Data

Aim: The overall aim of these projects is to analyze real-world data. The specific objectives are:,

To sample two sets of data from the real-world.,
To summarize each set of data statistically.,
To perform statistical chi-square tests on each set of data.,
To describe the above steps, data, and results in a report.,

On the cover of each Project Part report, please transcribe the following statement:

“I _________________ did not give or receive any assistance on this project, and the report submitted is wholly my own.”

Write your name in the blank and sign below it. You may use an electronic signature, such as Adobe SignLinks to an external site..

Tasks for Part II

Data Collection: Students will collect two sets of data from the real world.

Set 1 will be collected from a large number of observations (at least 100) for a continuous random variable from a population that is suspected to be normally distributed. (Naturally Occurring)

Examples of such data include the body weight of people, the circumferences of oranges, the extension length of rubber bands at the point at which they burst, etc.

Set 2 will be the inter-arrival time of a sequence of 100 or more events. First, record the actual clock time (to the nearest second, e.g. 2:43:18pm) of each of at least 100 consecutive events, such as the actual time that a customer enters the post office. Then, determine the interval between occurrences by taking the difference between successive event times. Consequently, Set 2 will comprise of at least 99 inter-arrival times. You may use ‘second’ as a unit of time.

Descriptive Statistics: For both Sets 1 and 2, use software to do the following:

Calculate the sample mean and sample standard deviation.
Calculate the quartiles Q1, Q2, and Q3.
Construct a box-and-whisker plot.
Construct a frequency table.
Construct a frequency histogram.

Essay Writing Review

By Academic Wizard Blog

Essay Writing Review

You revised your essay during Week 4, and in this week’s discussion, you completed a peer review activity to analyze specific aspects of your draft. It is time to craft a rationale—a short explanation of the writing choices you made and why you made them.

Remember the process you followed for creating your essay. Think back closely and carefully about what you’ve done as a writer over the past month to reflect on your memories, find moments to talk about, skills to explain, goals to ponder. How did you pull all this together?

It is time to step outside your draft for a moment, critically evaluate your own writing and ideas, and explain the choices you have made as a writer and thinker. This is called a rationale – an essay that explains your ideas and strategies for writing the essay.

Resources

Be sure to review the Learning Resources before completing this activity.

Click the weekly resources link to access the resources.

WEEKLY RESOURCES

Reflecting on purpose and audience

The purpose of this paper is to explain what you did in the paper and why. How did you write this and why? You will need to look back and ponder those questions.

The audience of this paper is your instructor and classmates, who will read your paper and have questions about the process you used to create it and the specific writing choices you made.

Paragraph 1 – Explain your idea for the introduction., What did you talk about? Did you focus on a specific moment or something else to introduce your professional story and capture the reader’s interest? ,Why did you choose to start your essay in this fashion? What kind of effect were you hoping to have on your reader?, When a reader sees your thesis what will they expect in the rest of the essay?, In light of your reflection on your writing choices and the effect(s) you were trying to achieve within your introduction, what are two positive revisions you can make in the final draft of your Career Narrative Essay? Develop two ideas for content you can add, change, or elaborate upon.

Paragraph 2 – In the body of your Career Narrative Essay, you covered three specific aspects of your life and skillset. How did you write the middle sections (body) of your essay? Talk about your topic sentences, organization, word choice, content, and tone of voice you tried to adopt in the body section of your essay. Why did you write the body paragraphs in the way that you did? Reflect on the specific writing choices you made and why you think these improve your essay. In light of your reflection on the body paragraphs (goals, skills, and accomplishments), what is one way you can improve each paragraph? Feel free to talk about various aspects of writing, such as content, organization, clarity, tone, or new ideas.

Paragraph 3 – Read, then think about, your introduction and conclusion as two inter-linked paragraphs. They don’t link directly, but circularly, as one circles back, echoes back to the other. Does the language, use of pronouns, and tone of voice seem consistent between the introduction and conclusion? Do these two paragraphs work together to effectively set-up, then put in perspective, your body paragraphs? How do the introduction and conclusion work to start and end the essay? Explain your writing choices. In light of your reflection on the introduction and conclusion paragraphs, what is one way you can make your introduction and conclusion work even better together to achieve a final cohesive effect?

Paragraph 4 – What evidence (facts, quotes, summaries, examples, anecdotes, etc.) from sources did you end up using in the paper? Where did you use evidence and how did you use it? Explain the places where you used either a summary or quote. Identify one paragraph that seemed to call out for evidence more than others. Why do you think this paragraph needed extra support? Be specific. Reflect on your use of evidence in the essay and explain the writing choices you made. In light of your reflection, what are two ways you can improve your use of sources and evidence? Feel free to talk about the sources you found or new sources you might want to use, adding quotes or summaries, or revising your commentary and analysis that follows evidence.

Paragraph 5 – Summarize your idea for the conclusion paragraph of your Career Narrative Essay. What did you do in the ending? What effect were you trying to have on the reader? Reflect on your conclusion and explain the writing choices you made. What is one thing you can add to make this conclusion even more effective?

Reminders

Use specific examples from your Career Narrative Essay draft to support your explanation of each paragraph and the writing choices you made. Feel free to quote or summarize ideas from your essay to support your analysis.

Use “I,” “me,” and “my.” Be careful of overusing them because this can create a repetitive writing style.

Think of this essay as a chance to evaluate your own work and make specific justifications for the way you wrote your draft. Explaining your writing choices and why you made them will help you re-see your ideas and gain an even deeper perspective on your work. Our final revision is next week, and this will get you primed for one more critical review of your masterpiece…otherwise known as the Career Narrative Essay.

On or Before Day 7

Write 750 words (minimum)- 1,000 words (maximum). ,Your piece should have 5 paragraphs. ,You must submit the essay as a Word/PDF file., Make sure to double-space your essay. Include your name and give the essay a creative title one that draws your reader in

Congratulations! You did it! A systematic evaluation of how and why you wrote the paper the way you did is hard work and requires deep thinking. Consider using the rationale process with writing projects in the future.
