http://www.educationplanner.org/students/self-assessments/learning-styles.shtml.

This is a free tool that you can take called the Learning Styles Inventory. Once you have obtain your results by answering the 20 questions, you will then answer the following questions: What is your personal learning style? How did your results compare to what you already knew about your personal learning style? How do you think your learning style affects your teaching style?

Discussion Question 1-2

2. How would Maslow’s hierarchy of needs affect a person’s readiness to learn? Include an example from your selected area of education (academic, staff, or patient). Support your response with literature.

Assignment Benchmark – Learning Styles

As faculty members, you have been asked to design a 4-hour Leadership Strategies course that would accommodate the learning styles for a selected 10 students. The students have all completed a learning style inventory in which three of the students are determined visual learners, four are kinesthetic learners, and the rest are auditory learners. 

Note: The intended audience for the course can be either newly graduated nurses or experienced staff nurses as you choose.

Compose a 1,000-1,250-word paper which describes your plan to accommodate the learning styles of each student. This plan starts with defining course objectives; use the “A-B-C-D Method of Writing Objectives” resource as a guide. 

The objectives should incorporate Bloom’s taxonomy, be written at the appropriate level for the audience, and include at least two learning domains (cognitive, psychomotor, and affective). Make sure to include the following:

1. An outline of the course content and agenda that will be covered. 
2. Descriptions  of the learning activities and the rationale for the learning activities  selected
3. Strategies  to assess learning, based on the learner objectives
4. Use  at least three scholarly, peer-reviewed resources less than 5 years old in addition to the course materials.

An abstract is required.

Refer to “Learning Styles Rubric,” prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

A physician-hospital organization (PHO) consists of 15 hospitals – with 2,247 staffed beds – and approximately 500 physicians. The PHO operates in a very large section of south Georgia, including the cities of Valdosta, Tifton, Thomasville, Moultrie, and Waycross. The PHOs’ physician members represent approximately 90 percent of all physicians practicing in the region.

The PHO served as a vehicle through which competing hospitals and physicians could bargain collectively with health plans to obtain higher fees for themselves. The owner PHOs, member hospitals, and member physicians canceled contracts with payors and informed them that the PHO would be the sole entity through which they would enter into payor contracts. To contract with the PHO, payors allegedly have had to accept the fixed physician fee schedule and fixed discount of no more than 10 percent off hospital list prices.

1. Explain why this arrangement would be found “per se” illegal under the FTCs’ analysis.
2. What kind of actions could be taken to restructure this arrangement to avoid a determination that it is per se illegal?
3. Discuss the alternate FTC analysis that is applied to such cases if they are suspect but not found to be per se illegal.

1. Limit your responses to a maximum of three pages, not including title and reference pages.
2. Be sure to utilize at least 3-4 scholarly references to support your discussions.
3. Be sure to properly cite your references within the text of your assignment and listed at the end.

I need one page paper in nursing, this is the instruction about this one page paper:

Consider the 4 metaparadigm concepts: nursing; person; environment; and health. Select one and articulate your own beliefs, assumptions, and values related to that concept. Describe a personal experience from clinical practice that demonstrates and reflects the beliefs, assumptions, and values you identified. This is your own, personal philosophy; no references should be used. The table below is provided to serve as an instructional guide for this assignment. You should include the following:Identify 1 metapardigm concept from the following: nursing; person; environment; or healthArticulate your personal beliefs, assumptions, and values related to your selected concept Describe a detailed interaction between you and a client or family that depicts the beliefs, assumptions, and values related to your selected concept

*Philosophical Statement Instruction GuideNote: The questions below are designed to help get ideas flowing and are not the only focus of your statement.Nursing (i.e., nursing actions)

What is your definition of nursing?Is the metaparadigm concept nursing an art, a science, or both? Is it a process or a product (set of tasks)?What is nursing mainly (e.g., caring, therapeutic healing, building relationships)?What is the role reflected in nursing (e.g., doing for, being with [being present with], working with)?Where does ethics fit in?Who or what is the object of nursing’s concern?

HealthWhat is your definition of health (e.g., includes absence of disease, ability to perform social roles)?Is health on a continuum?Can clients have a chronic illness and still be termed healthy in your definition of health?What if the client’s view of health and your view of health are different?

PersonWhat is your definition of person (e.g., set of behavioral systems, biopsychosocial and spiritual being, energy field)?Who is the person being nursed (e.g., client, family, community)?What is your definition of person (e.g., set of behavioral systems, biopsychosocial and spiritual being, energy field)?Who is the person being nursed (e.g., client, family, community)?EnvironmentWhat is it? Where is it found?Are there different components to environment (e.g., emotional, spiritual, social, cultural, mainly physical)?Is environment separate from person?What is the nurse’s role in terms of environment?Are there internal and external environments, or is what is internal to a person part of the person?

Description and ExamplesThis whole philosophical statement is a statement of beliefs. However, for the purpose of teasing out and articulating your beliefs, these beliefs are divided into three types: definitions and description, assumptions, and values. Each of these should be written in separate paragraphs to ensure clarity and comprehensiveness.Beliefs: This should be a succinct definition (one or two sentences), followed by a broader description. For example, if part of your definition of person was the person is a biopsychosocial and spiritual being, then each of the component parts (e.g., spiritual being) would be described more fully.Assumptions: A given, something that you take for granted that it is true. Examples are: Humans are rational beings. Individuals desire to work collaboratively with their nurses.Values: Something you consider good (i.e., desirable, worthy, or of esteem). Examples are: All persons are of value and are worthy of respect. Clients should be treated with dignity. Confidentiality and privacy are essential throughout all interactions with clients. Persons should be given choice in their treatment regimens.*adapted from Table 1 in Hernandez, C. A. (2009).

  Assignment 1: Assessing the Genitalia and Rectum

Assignment 1: Asse

Assignment 1: Assessing the Genitalia and Rectum

Patients are frequently uncomfortable discussing with health care professional’s issues that involve the genitalia and rectum; however, gathering an adequate history and properly conducting a physical exam are vital. Examining case studies of genital and rectal abnormalities can help prepare advanced practice nurses to accurately assess patients with problems in these areas.

In this assignment, you will consider case studies that describe abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting.

In this assignment, you will analyze a SOAP note case study that describes abnormal findings in patients seen in a clinical setting. You will consider what history should be collected from the patients, as well as which physical exams and diagnostic tests should be conducted. You will also formulate a differential diagnosis with several possible conditions.

GENITALIA ASSESSMENT

Subjective:

• CC: “I have bumps on my bottom that I want to have checked out.”
• HPI: AB, a 21-year-old WF college student reports to your clinic with external bumps on her genital area. She states the bumps are painless and feel rough. She states she is sexually active and has had more than one partner over the past year. Her initial sexual contact occurred at age 18. She reports no abnormal vaginal discharge. She is unsure how long the bumps have been there but noticed them about a week ago. Her last Pap smear exam was 3 years ago, and no dysplasia was found; the exam results were normal. She reports one sexually transmitted infection (chlamydia) about 2 years ago. She completed the treatment for chlamydia as prescribed.
• PMH: Asthma
• Medications: Symbicort 160/4.5mcg
• Allergies: NKDA
• FH: No hx of breast or cervical cancer, Father hx HTN, Mother hx HTN, GERD
• Social: Denies tobacco use; occasional etoh, married, 3 children (1 girl, 2 boys)

 answer the following questions and support your answers using current evidence from the literature.

• Analyze the subjective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
• Analyze the objective portion of the note. List additional information that should be included in the documentation.
• Is the assessment supported by the subjective and objective information? Why or Why not?
• Would diagnostics be appropriate for this case and how would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
• Would you reject/accept the current diagnosis? Why or why not? Identify three possible conditions that may be considered as a differential diagnosis for this patient. Explain your reasoning using at least 3 different references from current evidence based literature.
