There is a template to assist you to do the assignment …

· assessment/evaluation is not intervention

· signs & symptoms are not problems

You can use up to 3 collaborative and 1 independent intervention or you can use 2 collaborative and 2 independent. Because of the emergency situation with patient you will probably need to use more collaborative depending on your priority problems. 

Can we use interventions already written up on the medical documentation?

Yes you can but in some instances the order may need to be changed. You will determine this from your research e.g. oxygen your research might lead to another device, litres per mintues or concentration delivered

Can we use websites as references?

Only the Australian Heart Foundation or Cystic Fibrosis Foundation

Does my information in the body of the essay need to evidence based?

Yes absolutley if your information is not in text referenced it will be seen as invalid and does not receive marks

use MIMS online and AMH for medication references?

  Part 1: Matrix (excel file)

· Fill out the matrix (excel file) to help you as you complete the assignment. Note: You will need to submit the completed matrix as well as the following analysis paper for this assignment.

· Consider the differences among the various guidelines (American Cancer Society, USPTFS, Healthy People, ACOG, and American Academy of Family Practice).

Part 2: Analysis Paper (2-3 pages):

· Complete your General Guidelines for Health Screenings Matrix template (excel file).

· Once you complete your matrix, in the analysis paper complete the following questions:

1. Explain what you find different among each of the guidelines.

2. Explain what might be contradictory among them.

3. Explain which guideline makes more sense to you and why.

4. Explain what changes you might make to the guidelines for a person who refers to themselves with an LGBTQ+ gender identification.

Take time to investigate Alzheimer’s Disease (AD).

• Find Scholarly/Credible sites on the web and/or find Rasmussen    library articles r/t AD treatment.
• Discuss two (2) prescription medications and two (2) complimentary    or alternative treatments for AD. 
• Include your opinions as to why you chose these medications/treatments.
• If you had a loved one with the disease, would you opt for the    complimentary regimen or the pharmaceutical regimen…or would you use a    combination of both methods?
• Give rationales for your opinions and choices.

Additionally, cite your references in APA format at the end of your discussion paper.

• Review Chapter 7 in The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report provided in the Learning Resources. Focus on the information in Box 7.3, “Research Priorities for Transforming Nursing Leadership.”
• Select one of the research priorities listed in Box 7.3 that is of particular interest to you and applicable to your career interests. Consider the benefits and challenges of researching and addressing this priority in nursing.
• Using the Walden library, identify two to three current articles that address your selected research priority. Consider the current state of research efforts on this priority.
• Reflect on how the research findings for your area of priority impact nurses as leaders in organizations and health care reform. Why is research on this priority important?

Write a 2-3 page examination of an issue in the nursing field using each of the three sociological perspectives.

Introduction

Sociologists use theory to study society. In science, theory is used to develop a deeper understanding of the universe. Although abstract, sociologists use theory to expand on original ideas and develop practical solutions to problems. In sociology, there are three main sociological theories or perspectives: functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist. Each of these perspectives has a distinct worldview, or interpretation, of the social world and human interaction:

• The functionalist perspective presents the world as a system of inter-related parts, where all parts must work together for society to function.
  • For example, if we looked at sports teams, the functionalist perspective would argue that sports teams serve a purpose for society. They have a particular utility that helps society function properly. What purpose do sports teams have? Do they provide us with entertainment? Some people with jobs? Do they help to form a bond between people who otherwise would not be connected? The functionalist perspective would see all of these reasons as important functions of sports teams.
• The conflict perspective disagrees, seeing society as an arena made up of groups competing over scarce resources in which there are issues of power and structural inequality.
  • The conflict perspective would see sports teams as groups competing over scarce resources. Those resources may be a title, fans, finances, or athletes. With this struggle between teams, some come out on top and others at the bottom. Thus, there is inherently inequality in sports teams.
• Symbolic interactionism examines the symbols and social meanings we attach to individuals, behavior, objects, or interaction in face-to-face exchanges on a daily basis. The focus is more microcosmic than that of both functionalism and conflict perspective.
  • Since the symbolic interactionist perspective is a micro-level perspective it will look at the interactions that go on between individuals and small groups in sports teams. Are there symbols that exist between players on teams? Think of the gestures that are used by baseball players as an example. This perspective also looks at how communication differs for people on sports teams than it does for those in other groups. In football, for example, tackling is an acceptable form of interaction. That is not the case in an office setting.

As you can see, each of these three perspectives proposes a framework for interpreting encountered social phenomenon.

Demonstration of Proficiency

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

• Competency 1: Examine how theory and sociological concepts apply to everyday life.
  • Describe a current issue or event related to the learner’s field.
  • Examine an issue or event from the functionalist perspective.
  • Examine an issue or event from the conflict perspective.
  • Examine an issue or event from the symbolic interactionist perspective.
• Competency 6: Compose text that articulates meaning relevant to its purpose and audience.
  • Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics.

For this assessment, search the Internet or print resources for a popular (as opposed to scholarly) article concerning a larger issue or event that has occurred in the last six months to a year related to your field or the field you are considering working in (business, healthcare, technology, criminal justice, et cetera). For example, if your field of study is healthcare management, you could choose a recent article concerning the cost of prescription medicine.

Deliverable

Search for a popular article (magazine or newspaper) about an issue or event related to your field of interest.

Write an essay in which you complete all of the following:

• Part 1 – Describe a current event or issue related to your field (1–2 paragraphs).
  • Describe the current event or issue objectively. What is the main issue?
• Part 2 – Examine this event or issue from the three sociological perspectives: functionalist, conflict, and symbolic interactionist.
• Address all three theories in your essay.
  • Use at least two scholarly sources when explaining your theories.
• Examine how each perspective might explain or understand this event or issue.
• Use the article you’ve chosen to support your use of the perspectives and to provide examples to highlight theoretical ideas.
• It is expected that you use the vocabulary and concepts for each theory (for example, manifest and latent functions when discussing the functionalist perspective).

Additional Requirements

• Written communication: Develop text using organization, structure, and transitions that demonstrate understanding of cohesion between main and subtopics. Write in a professional style using references and correct grammar, usage, and mechanics. Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• Sources: Cite at least two scholarly sources.
• Length: 2–3 pages, not including title and reference pages
• Format: Include a title page and reference page. Use in-text citations to cite your sources. [Example: Writing becomes better as the child matures (Britton, Thomas, & Miller, 1996).]
