First, read about the new audit standard through the PCAOB website. In addition to the standard, there are plenty of news articles and journal articles discussing the new standard. Then, in a 1 to 2 page Word document, address the following (Properly cite the sources when you use other people’s work in your writing):

• Find a public ‘large accelerated filer (Click! for the definition)’ company’s 10-K (annual report) for the fiscal year ended after June 2019. Compare that with the same company’s auditor report for the fiscal year ended before December 2017 . Explain the new rules by describing the differences between two reports.
• Briefly discuss whether/how the additional information on the new audit report can help information users of the financial statements.

Assignment:

This week students will be completing a narrated power point to discuss one of the following cases.

1. Lisa McPherson Clearwater, Florida (1995)
2. Terri Schiavo St. Petersburg, Florida (1990–2005)
3. Nadya Doud-Suleman Bellflower, California (January 2009)
4. Elodie Irvine v. Regents of the University of California 57 Cal.Rptr.3d 500, 149 Cal.App.4th 994 (2007) Court of Appeal State of California, Fourth Appellate District Division Three

First, students should pick one of the ethical cases above and create a power point presentation to address the following:

1. What are the facts of the case? This should include: what do we need to know, who is involved in the situation, where does the ethical situation take place, and when does it occur? (3-4 slides)
2. What is the precise ethical issue in regards to autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, fidelity, and justice? (5-6 slides)
3. Identify the major principles, rules, and values of the case.  Values are sets of beliefs about good and bad, right and wrong, and about many other aspects of living and interacting in the society with others. A principle is a personal rule that governs personal behavior. A rule is generally imposed by a figure of authority, and used to guide and govern people. (3-5 slides)
4. Is there legal ground for this case, state what they are? Who is at fault? What legal action should be taken? (2-4 slides)
5. Are there alternative to the actions completed in this case by the parties involved? What could have been done to prevent the outcome of the case? (3-6 slides)
6. If you were a member of the ethics committee at the facility the event happened, what action would you take in this case? (2-4 slides)
7. As a healthcare professional, how did the outcome of the case make you feel? Does it align with your personal values and beliefs? Would caring for this patient be difficult? How do you separate your personal beliefs when completing your job? (4-6 slides)

For the presentation, insure information is referenced and cited in your slides. The presentation should start with a title slide and end with a reference slides. At least 3 references are required for this assignment. If you include pictures, your pictures should also be referenced and cited.

• Length:
  • 25-33 slides, and 8-15 minutes in length
  • Use the tips at http://www.garrreynolds.com/preso-tips/design/ to create the slideshow.  Because good PowerPoints have very few words, submit a script that describes the content of each slide – about 50 words per slide.  Place this script in a separate Word document that shows each slide number and the text for each slide as shown in the provided PowerPoint Slide Notes.docx.
• Structure:
  • Include a title page and reference page in APA style
• References:
  • References are required. You should include the appropriate APA style in-text citations and references for all resources utilized to answer the questions.  You must include at least 5 pictures or graphics. All pictures or graphics taken from outside sources must be referenced and cited.
• Format:
  • save your assignment as a Microsoft PowerPoint  (.ppt or .pptx)

In nursing practice, accurate identification and application of research is essential to achieving successful outcomes. The ability to articulate research data and summarize relevant content supports the student’s ability to further develop and synthesize the assignments that constitute the components of the capstone project.

The assignment will be used to develop a written implementation plan.

For this assignment, provide a synopsis of the review of the research literature. Using the “Literature Evaluation Table,” determine the level and strength of the evidence for each of the eight research articles you have selected. The articles should be current (within the last 5 years) and closely relate to the PICOT question developed earlier in this course. The articles may include quantitative research, descriptive analyses, longitudinal studies, or meta-analysis articles. A systematic review may be used to provide background information for the purpose or problem identified in the proposed capstone project.

While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Social media plays a significant role in the lives of nurses in both their professional and personal lives. Additionally, social media is now considered a mainstream part of the process for recruiting and hiring candidates. Inappropriate or unethical conduct on social media can create legal problems for nurses as well as the field of nursing.

Login to all social media sites in which you engage. Review your profile, pictures and posts. Based on the professional standards of nursing, identify items that would be considered unprofessional and potentially detrimental to your career and that negatively impact the reputation of the nursing field.

In 500-750 words, summarize the findings of your review. Include the following:

1. Describe the posts or conversations in which you have engaged that might be considered inappropriate based on the professional standards of nursing.
2. Discuss why nurses have a responsibility to uphold a standard of conduct consistent with the standards governing the profession of nursing at work and in their personal lives. Include discussion of how personal conduct can violate HIPAA or be considered unethical or unprofessional. Provide an example of each to support your answer.
3. Based on the analysis of your social media, discuss what areas of your social media activity reflect Christian values as they relate to respecting human value and dignity for all individuals. Describe areas of your social media activity that could be improved.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
