Please make revision in the prospectus checklist assignment based on my professor feedback. For now, she wants to only focus on (1) the problem statement, (2) the practice focus question, (3) the social change. 

I’m also attaching a copy of the previous prospectus draft  which the professor returned to me with her feedback. Also, I included an outline of the project in the file section (see attached file).

Include as many scholarly references (at least 10) as needed and cite often.

APA format required. 

Due on Sunday 10/06/19 by 12pm America/New York time.

Identify the process for decision making regarding technology. Discuss nursing role in identifying appropriate technology for practice.

Your paper should include the following:

1. One technology application used in health care to facilitate decision making.
2. The application’s impact on quality of decision making.
3. The process for selecting and implementing the application.
4. The costs associated with the application.
5. Nurses’ role(s) in selecting and evaluating the application.

Using the schoo website ……. or the Internet, research about power sources for a nurse leader. Based on your understanding, answer the following questions:

1. In your opinion, what are the three most important power sources for a nurse leader? Why?
2. How are they best used in a leadership role? Describe.
3. What sources of power do you see most often displayed in your work environment? Why?

Nursing is difficult and a profession where you will drown quickly if you do not speak up about what you need. That communication and taking the initiative is part of being a leader. Rosemary did not do that in this situation. An effective leader needs to be able to adapt to different situations and communicate effectively (Yoder-Wise, 2011). It looks as if Rosemary has failed in both of these areas. She may be nervous about speaking up because she is a new nurse, but that needs to be a skill you learn quickly as a nurse, especially a new one. When Rosemary was unable to get ahold of her manager by calling her, she should have emailed or could have talked with the assistant to nail down a time when she could meet with the nurse manager. She needs to be able to problem-solve and think critically.

Leading and management both require action and engagement. Rosemary’s nurse manager did not seem to do either of these things. She sounds as if she is a hands-off type of manager. Our book refers to her leadership style as Laissez-faire, which is not effective in this case (Yoder-Wise, 2011). If her manager were more of a democratic leader, it would be more beneficial. Rosemary could benefit from a democratic leader who could communicate and gather ideas from the people she is managing. I think Rosemary is more of a follower at this point in her career. Hopefully, she can develop the skills she needs to be a leader sooner rather than later. Rosemary can do this by not being afraid to ask for help. She could even ask some of the people who have been there longer, like the LPNs, if she is struggling. Maybe she needs more practice with skills or needs to shadow someone on the day shift to start to feel more comfortable in her role.

Respond to the above discussion.

Because of the weakened immune system, people with HIV/AIDS are susceptible to infections that healthy people can usually fight off.  These are called opportunistic infections.

Explore those infections (including, but not limited to): what those infections are, ways to contract them, how they can be prevented, how they are diagnosed, treatment for opportunistic infections.
