Discussion Question

For this discussion, you are asked to review the student learning outcomes for this course and discuss how you met these outcomes. The intention here is to provide you an opportunity to “reflect” on the learning achieved during this term and how you successfully met these learning outcomes. If you do not feel you successfully met the objective, discuss your plans to successfully complete the objective in the future.

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:

1. Critically analyze current practice to formulate researchable problems.
2. Evaluate research as the basis for decision-making to improve outcomes through translation into evidence-based practice. 
3. Synthesize an understanding of the research process through development of a proposal to address a nursing problem or focus area identified in nursing practice.
4. Investigate ethical issues related to the conduct of scientific research, including informed consent, data management, data analysis, and protection of human subjects.
5. Explore national and international initiatives and research priorities.

Learning activity for Scenario Two

Learning needs

            In this scenario, type I and type II diabetic patients will need education on the benefit and use of an insulin pump.  When compared to insulin injections, a pump more closely mimics the bodies pancreas in supplying a continuous infusion of insulin (Reece & Hamby Williams, 2014). 

Learning objectives

            The learning objectives are defined as “specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timebound” (McKimm & Swanwick, 2009, p. 409).  When developing objectives for educating patients on insulin pump use, it is important to address adjustment of pump setting, counting carbohydrates, ability to troubleshoot pump, and recognition of complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis (Reece & Hamby Williams, 2014). 

Learner centered activity

            Being that the audience for this course will be already diagnosed diabetics with a basic understanding of the disease and treatment, it would be appropriate to adapt a learner centered course with unstructured learning experiences.  Once acquiring the knowledge of how the pump is set up and attached, patients would follow an unstructured learning experience and be asked to “apply their previous experiences …to a situation of their choice” (Billings & Halstead, 2016, p. 164).  This type of learning motivates learners to retain knowledge, promotes critical thinking, and apply the information to real life scenarios (Billings & Halstead, 2016).

Measuring learning objectives

            One method to measure if the learning outcomes are met, is to provide a post class survey to participants.  This patient feedback would provide the information needed to determine if learning objectives were met.  The survery would specifically ask if patients felt comfortable managing their insulin pump, if their questions were answered, and if they have the tools needed to improve their glycemic control (Reece & Hamby Williams, 2014).

design a 1-2 page health newsletter that would be appropriate for the workplace. Newsletters should contain content appropriate for health promotion concerning the workplace that have chosen for their project.I downloaded some examples I need to be like the example. it should have about worker health and 3 issues like obesity, smoking, and back pain.

PLEASE, NO PLAGIARIZED WORK.    

As we enter assessment 4, there are two sections that need to be completed.  In part one, you will need to address four questions on how you relate diversity in your organization and how it reflects the change in the organization and patient care.  For the fourth question, make sure you do your research on one of the companies and as always make sure your work is cited and appropriately referenced.

Part 2 of the assessment asks that you create a short video.  Please try and keep it within the 3-5-minute window.  This will be a compressed presentation when you address each topic question. Be creative and be personable in your presentation and try not to sound like your reading or monotone in your presentation. Remember that uploading videos into BB takes a long time based on duration.

Below are some thoughts for this week’s units.

1.  Think about who your audience is that you and make your presentation relatable to them.

2. Use personal experiences that are relatable to the assignment, as you have in earlier assessments.

3. Make sure you include a discussion section relating how your organization can use these strategy points in your righting when concluding your part 1 paper.

4. Reflections should include diversity within your organization and if it affects patient care in a positive or negative way make sure you support your viewpoints.

5. Make sure your video includes references and citations for photos and content.

6. Be creative in your presentation

Competency 4 Assesment Part 1

Part 1:

For this Competency Assessment, review the following document:

Aperian Global. (2015). Leaders in diversity and inclusion: 5 lessons from top global companies. Retrieved from https://www.aperianglobal.com/leaders-diversity-inclusion-5-lessons-top-global-companies/

Think about how the lessons impact the healthcare organization. Write an analysis of the article by addressing the following:

· How do the lessons, in the article, relate to diversity in your organization?

· How do lessons, in the article, reflect change in supporting diversity in your organization?

· How could the lessons, in the article, affect change in the way the patients receive care?

· Select one of the top five (5) companies discussed in the article. Do additional research on that company and see what strategies the company uses to support their diverse employees (i.e., bonus incentives, hiring process, diversity statement, etc.). Provide a summary of what you have learned and relate this to how your organization can utilize some of the strategies.
