What is the best way to ensure health and wellness?

Police stress, PTSD, suicide, and general wellness are all topics of concern for police leaders, officers, their families, and our community leaders. Although police agencies have not always been proactive in addressing wellness and safety, it remains a tremendous problem, particularly in an era where police are scrutinized, filmed, and recorded for every citizen interaction. Much of the reporting is biased and incorrect. There is merit in mandatory health and wellness programming. There is merit in allowing and encouraging officers to seek mental health help without fear of losing their jobs. We must protect the more than 750,000 police officers in our country and ensure their long-term health and wellness is maintained. The question is how to do this? What is the best way to ensure health and wellness? Would an after-action style review be more effective it if were employed after shifts that are particularly traumatic? Would it be helpful if officers were afforded the opportunity to have a post-shift de-stressing session to vent about their experiences and concerns? Provide a response to these questions that is supported by relevant literature and/or the textbook.

For each thread, students must support their assertions with at least 3 scholarly citations

in APA format. Each reply must incorporate at least 1 scholarly citation in APA format. Any

sources cited must have been published within the last five years. Acceptable sources include the

textbook, the Bible, and peer reviewed journals published within the past five years.

Should convicted people under parole supervision enjoy the same constitutional rights as law-abiding citizens?

When do prisoners wrongs end, and their rights begin? | Benny Lee | TEDxNaperville – YouTube Links to an external site.

After watching the video answer the following questions

B. If be granted after a person successfully completes parole?

 

Explain the meaning and importance of these four amendments.

The U.S. Constitution affords citizens various rights and freedoms. These include freedom of religion, freedom from unreasonable search and seizures, and the right to equal justice. As upholders of the Constitution, police officers swear an oath to uphold people’s Constitutional rights as they perform their duties to prevent, reduce, and address criminal activities.

Of the 27 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, four amendments in particular pertain to the criminal justice process:

The Fourth Amendment prevents unreasonable searches and seizures.

The Fifth Amendment affords people various rights in criminal and civil proceedings. Examples include the right to a grand jury and due process. It also allows people to protect themselves from self-incrimination, and it prohibits double jeopardy

The Sixth Amendment guarantees various rights to criminal defendants, such as the right to a speedy trial, a lawyer, and an impartial jury. It also guarantees defendants the right to know who their accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against them.

The Eighth Amendment prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishments.

In this assignment, you will be asked to:

Explain the meaning and importance of these four amendments.

Illustrate with an example how the amendment applies to a player and a step in the criminal justice process.

Illustrate with an example, from case law or contemporary articles, of how the amendment applies to the particular player and step in the criminal justice process.

Is there an imbalance between how much female staff are paid and how much male staff are paid

In this assessment task, you will undertake an exploratory data analysis in the role of a consultant. The task is designed to test your R skills. You must present your findings, supported by data visualisations, in the form of a written report.

Workload

This task should take you 10 – 14 hours to complete.

Instructions

A pharmaceutical company called Globex Pharma has contracted your consulting company to investigate their firm’s workforce. Recently there has been some staff turnover at Globex, and the leadership team is aware of rumours that dissatisfied employees are seeking job opportunities elsewhere.

As it happens, the firm’s employees have recently completed a survey (within the last year) measuring various attributes of them and their jobs. Here are the results of that survey, and an explanation of the variables in the data set:

File

employees.csv

File

Dictionary.csv

Globex wants you to use this data to identify factors that might be causing staff discontent.

They would like you to submit a short report in which you consider three possible causes and draw a conclusion about each, supporting your conclusions with appropriate calculations and visualisations.

You should do the following:

Identify three research questions about the data. These should be questions about possible causes of staff discontent. For example: “Is there an imbalance between how much female staff are paid and how much male staff are paid”? Or: “Are single staff doing a disproportionate amount of overtime and not maintaining a healthy work-life balance”?

Try to answer each question by analysing the data. Explore ways of visualising the data that might help to answer each question, and perform any necessary calculations.

Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.

Assignment: The Nurse Leader as Knowledge Worker

The term “knowledge worker” was first coined by management consultant and author Peter Drucker in his book, The Landmarks of Tomorrow (1959). Drucker defined knowledge workers as high-level workers who apply theoretical and analytical knowledge, acquired through formal training, to develop products and services. Does this sound familiar?

Nurses are very much knowledge workers. What has changed since Drucker’s time are the ways that knowledge can be acquired. The volume of data that can now be generated and the tools used to access this data have evolved significantly in recent years and helped healthcare professionals (among many others) to assume the role of knowledge worker in new and powerful ways.

In this Assignment, you will consider the evolving role of the nurse leader and how this evolution has led nurse leaders to assume the role of knowledge worker. You will prepare a PowerPoint presentation with an infographic (graphic that visually represents information, data, or knowledge. Infographics are intended to present information quickly and clearly.) to educate others on the role of nurse as knowledge worker.

Reference: Drucker, P. (1959). The landmarks of tomorrow. New York, NY: HarperCollins Publishers.

To Prepare:

Review the concepts of informatics as presented in the Resources.

Reflect on the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.

Consider how knowledge may be informed by data that is collected/accessed.

The Assignment:

Explain the concept of a knowledge worker.

Define and explain nursing informatics and highlight the role of a nurse leader as a knowledge worker.

Include one slide that visually represents the role of a nurse leader as knowledge worker.

Your PowerPoint should Include the hypothetical scenario you originally shared in the Discussion Forum. Include your examination of the data that you could use, how the data might be accessed/collected, and what knowledge might be derived from that data.

My discussion that is going to need to be incorporated

with the theme of this powerpoint is going to be infection control nurses and healthcare associated infections.
