Do you believe the private security guards should be armed?

Do you believe the private security guards should be armed? Should they be trained in defensive tactics? Should private security be able to use identifying information which may be misleading to the public, giving the public the impression that they are law enforcement? Should law enforcement officers be allowed to work for private security when they are off duty? Do these situations provide a false sense of security for the public?  Be sure to provide real life examples in your answer and be sure to cite your sources.

How does your organization share with the nursing staff and other members of the health care system the quality improvement monitoring results?

As you begin to prepare this assessment you are encouraged to complete the Conabedian Quality Assessment Framework activity. Quality health care delivery requires systematic action. Completion of this will help you succeed with the assessment as you consider how the triad of structure (such as the hospital, clinic, provider qualifications/organizational characteristics) and process (such as the delivery/coordination/education/protocols/practice style or standard of care) may be modified to achieve quality outcomes.

The American Nursing Association (ANA) established the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI®) in 1998 to track and report on quality indicators heavily influenced by nursing action.

NDNQI® was established as a standardized approach to evaluating nursing performance in relation to patient outcomes. It provides a database and quality measurement program to track clinical performance and to compare nursing quality measures against other hospital data at the national, regional, and state levels. Nursing-sensitive quality indicators help establish evidence-based practice guidelines in the inpatient and outpatient settings to enhance quality care outcomes and initiate quality improvement educational programs, outreach, and protocol development.

The quality indicators the NDNQI® monitors are organized into three categories: structure, process, and outcome. Theorist Avedis Donabedian first identified these categories. Donabedian’s theory of quality health care focused on the links between quality outcomes and the structures and processes of care (Grove et al., 2018).

Nurses must be knowledgeable about the indicators their workplaces monitor. Some nurses deliver direct patient care that leads to a monitored outcome. Other nurses may be involved in data collection and analysis. In addition, monitoring organizations, including managed care entities, exist to gather data from individual organizations to analyze overall industry quality. All of these roles are important to advance quality and safety outcomes.

The focus of Assessment 4 is on how informatics support monitoring of nursing-sensitive quality indicator data. You will develop an 8–10 minute audio (or video) training module to orient new nurses in a workplace to a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator critical to the organization. Your recording will address how data are collected and disseminated across the organization along with the nurses’ role in supporting accurate reporting and high quality results.

Preparation

This assessment requires you to prepare an 8–10 minute audio training tutorial (with optional video) for new nurses on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. To successfully prepare for your assessment, you will need to complete the following preparatory activities:

· Select a single nursing-sensitive quality indicator that you see as important to a selected type of health care system. Choose from the following list:

. Staffing measures.

. Nursing hours per patient day.

. RN education/certification.

. Skill mix.

. Nurse turnover.

. Nursing care hours in emergency departments, perioperative units, and perinatal units.

. Skill mix in emergency departments, perioperative units, and perinatal units.

· Quality measures.

. Patient falls.

. Patient falls with injury.

. Pressure ulcer prevalence.

. Health care-associated infections.

. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection.

. Central line catheter associated blood stream infection.

. Ventilator-associated pneumonia.

. Ventilator- associated events.

· Psychiatric physical/sexual assault rate.

· Restraint prevalence.

· Pediatric peripheral intravenous infiltration rate.

· Pediatric pain assessment, intervention, reassessment (air) cycle.

· Falls in ambulatory settings.

· Pressure ulcer incidence rates from electronic health records.

· Hospital readmission rates.

· RN satisfaction survey options.

. Job satisfaction scales.

. Job satisfaction scales – short form.

. Practice environment scale.

· Conduct independent research on the most current information about the selected nursing-sensitive quality indicator.

· Interview a professional colleague or contact who is familiar with quality monitoring and how technology can help to collect and report quality indicator data. You do not need to submit the transcript of your conversation, but do integrate what you learned from the interview into the audio tutorial. Consider these questions for your interview:

· What is your experience with collecting data and entering it into a database?

· What challenges have you experienced?

· How does your organization share with the nursing staff and other members of the health care system the quality improvement monitoring results?

· What role do bedside nurses and other frontline staff have in entering the data? For example, do staff members enter the information into an electronic medical record for extraction? Or do they enter it into another system? How effective is this process?

Why do you think that so often the cultural roots of dance and music have been erased, or appropriated without giving credit to their origins?

Prompt:

Choose one or two of the following critical questions to guide your critical response (~250 words), or respond freely, if you would rather. Don’t forget to include your own critical discussion question. Please do not respond to all of these questions. These are simply a guide to get you started in your own critical response. Likewise, you are welcome to write your response independent of the questions I have provided here. While these prompts focus on the ideas of appropriation and suppression from the assigned videos and article, feel free to include relevant observations from other videos, images or activities and discussion seen in class this week, or to connect to other themes and discussions from earlier in the semester.  Include your own critical question to further the discussion.

1. Why do you think that so often the cultural roots of dance and music have been erased, or appropriated without giving credit to their origins? We have briefly looked at the roots of Dancehall and some Colombian and Carribean dances, as well as some histoical/cultural forms of pole dance. What do you know about the roots of tap dance, jazz, or even yoga?  Some of these have been nearly completely removed from their roots for decades…whose responsibility is it to insure that cultural credit is given…the audience or the artist? The student, or the teacher?

2. Do you think that the “Sorry” video could be changed in ways that might make it more appreciative and less appropriative? What would you change, or do you think it is too far gone?

3. Society works hard to condition us into playing our “roles,” sometimes as men/women, or a s follow/lead, or even into cultural or socio-political roles. How do cultural and gender roles benefit society? How do they limit society? How does the Tedx Talk about “Liquid Lead challange these ideas? What other examples can you think of? What is gained, or lost, by breaking through these boundaries?

4. What topic or theme has stood out the most to you so far this semester?

In your estimation, did the character you choose make an ethically defensible decision?

Introduction

For this paper, you may choose to answer one of the following. Please identify which question you are answering.

Questions

A. Choose one character (from the list above) and analyze his/her treatment and ethical decisions regarding the case and the character of the tyrant using two ethical models.* In your estimation, did the character you choose make an ethically defensible decision?

Or

B. Compare or Contrast two characters using one ethical model* and determine which character made the better overall decision regarding the treatment of the tyrant ethically, based on the circumstances according to the model.
