Reflection on Learning 2

Reflective inquiry allows for expansion in self-awareness, identification of knowledge gaps, and assessment of learning goals. Each week, you will reflect upon what you have learned and complete a reflective journal assignment: Reflection on Learning. Each weekly reflection is placed in one document, which will be submitted for grading at the end of Week 7. There is no weekly reflection in Week 8 because a reflection is incorporated into the discussion question. Create a document where you will keep your weekly reflection.

Access your reflection document. Reflect upon your Week 2 learning journey in NR701 and consider the following in one or two paragraphs.

·  Provide one specific example of how you achieved the weekly objectives.

·  Why is the information important?

·  In what ways will you use this learning?

Clearly, diagnosis is a critical aspect of healthcare. However, the ultimate purpose of a diagnosis is the development and application of a series of treatments or protocols. Isolated recognition of a health issue does little to resolve it.

In this module’s Discussion, you applied the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory to diagnose potential problems with the civility of your organization. In this Portfolio Assignment, you will continue to analyze the results and apply published research to the development of a proposed treatment for any issues uncovered by the assessment.

To Prepare:

• Review the Resources and examine the Clark Healthy Workplace Inventory, found on page 20 of Clark (2015).
• Review the Work Environment Assessment Template.
• Reflect on the output of your Discussion post regarding your evaluation of workplace civility and the feedback received from colleagues.
• Select and review one or more of the following articles found in the Resources:
  • Clark, Olender, Cardoni, and Kenski (2011)
  • Clark (2018)
  • Clark (2015)
  • Griffin and Clark (2014)

The Assignment (3-6 pages total):

• Describe the results of the Work Environment Assessment you completed on your workplace.
• Identify two things that surprised you about the results and one idea you believed prior to conducting the Assessment that was confirmed.
• Explain what the results of the Assessment suggest about the health and civility of your workplace.

Part 2: Reviewing the Literature (1-2 pages)

• Briefly describe the theory or concept presented in the article(s) you selected.

Nutrition plays a vital role in a person’s overall health and well-being. Not getting enough of the recommended nutrients over the long-term can lead to malnutrition which often results in disease and illness.

In a 3-page paper, written in APA format using proper spelling/grammar, address the following:

1. Define malnutrition and identify a specific disease that can result from it.
2. Perform library research about the selected disease, and explain its physiological effects on a person’s body. 
3. Describe the relationship between specific foods/nutrients and the disease. Use the questions below to guide your response.
   1. Does research indicate that a lack of specific foods/nutrients increase a person’s chance of contracting the disease?
   2. Are there specific foods/nutrients that should be avoided by an individual afflicted with the disease?
   3. How do specific foods/nutrients work physiologically within the body to help combat the disease?
4. Evaluate nutritional recommendations to help combat the disease.
5. Cite at least 3 credible references and present the resources in APA format on the References page.

Older adults (OA) are at risk for potential hazards of hospitalization, these include: immobility, delirium, medication side effects, malnutrition, pressure ulcers, procedures, peri- and postoperative periods, and hospital-acquired infections and more.

For More 10 points…find the original journal science article your news

the story was referring to and summarize the research article, compare and contrast

the two articles, do you think the news story accurately reported the findings

of the journal article why or why not, and attach a copy/link of the journal article.
