Think about some of the leaders in your life and career. Do you think they are good leaders? Bad leaders? A little bit of both? How much of your assessment of their leadership effectiveness is tied to the leader’s communication patterns?

Getting Started

Take a moment and think about some of the leaders in your life and career. Do you think they are good leaders? Bad leaders? A little bit of both?
How much of your assessment of their leadership effectiveness is tied to the leader’s communication patterns? Do they listen or ignore? Are they inspiring or defeating? Do they energize or de-energize? Are they critical or supportive? How do they make you feel about yourself?
Often, much of how we assess our leaders has a communication component to it. Communication can be complex, especially at the organizational level. However, becoming a better communicator can be a key “tool” to become a better organizational leader.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

· Articulate the key challenges and opportunities for effective organizational communication.

Background Information

Communication is often considered the glue that holds organizations together. It binds all of the parts together so that leaders and members can achieve the organizational mission. One important idea about communication is that we are always doing it. Even choosing not to communicate is communicating “something.” For that reason, within the organizational context the question is not whether communication is occurring. In many ways, an organization “is” communication. Rather, the key question is how well or how effectively we are communicating. Lots of factors can influence communication effectiveness. For example, organizations with tall hierarchies have unique communication characteristics when compared to organizations that are more decentralized or flatter. Issues also can emerge when we consider the difference between formal and informal communication. Within any organization, there are barriers to good communication as well as habits, interventions, or skills to promote good communication and a productive organization.

Module 2 – SLP

STRATEGIES, ASSESSMENT, TOOLS, AND OUTCOMES IN QI

Outcome measures (mortality, readmission, patient experience, etc.) are the quality
and cost targets healthcare organizations are trying to improve. There are a vast
array of outcome measures, likely in the hundreds. However, the seven outcome
measures the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (2016) uses to
calculate hospital quality are some of the most common in healthcare: (1) general
information, (2) survey of patients’ experiences, (3) timely & effective care, (4)
complications, (5) readmissions & deaths, (6) use of medical imaging, and (7)
payment & value of care. Outcome assessments are tools used for collection and
analysis of evidence about the achievement/attainment of a certain measure for the
purposes of improvement and to determine or demonstrate its effectiveness.

How well do the career development theories discussed in Chapter 3 of Career Development Interventions address individuals from diverse backgrounds? Guide career behavior? Guide career decision-making?When reading about Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) and how this theory applies to career development, it was interesting to learn about findings regarding diverse backgrounds and their relation to career development. SCCT is useful when applying it to persistence at overcoming obstacles. This can be analyzed through self-efficacy. Niles and Harris-Bowlsbey (2017) mention that “self-efficacy beliefs are low due to factors such as racism and sex-role stereotyping, clients can be exposed to personally relevant, vicarious learning opportunities.” By knowing this, interventions can be applied to address individuals from diverse backgrounds, in order to strengthen their self-efficacy. The text also explains how the  Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) addresses how individuals can make career decisions through a three-factor Parsonian model. This theory’s interventions address career decision-making through different dimensions. These dimensions are: the pyramid of information processing, the Communication, Analysis, Synthesis, Valuing, and Execution (CASVE) cycle of decision-making skills; and the executive processing domain (Niles and Harris-Bowlsbey, 2017).
How does Social Cognitive Career Theory and Krumboltz’s theory influence career outcomes? How do these theories guide and emphasize your own personal career?According to both of these theories, there are several factors that influence career decision making. Whether it be as a result of self efficacy or unpredictable social factors, I think that these theories have both guided my own personal career. For example, I decided to further my education after high school as a result of my own self-efficacy because I believed that I was capable of such attainment. At the same time, there were other social factors that I could not control, but directed to towards the path of my career. One of the major factors is the economic factor. I felt and continue to feel like without seeking an appropriate career, there is a large financial factor that plays a role because what we do for a living and how much money we make essentially controls everything else in our lives. 
How might your own cultural background affect the efficacy of the career intervention strategies you chose to use with your students?I think that my own cultural background affects the efficacy of the career intervention strategies I choose to use with my students because I believe that career decision-making is a result of my own self-efficacy which may result in me taking a SCCT approach when working with students. At the same time, I believe that I can incorporate this into SEL curriculum because they will be able to build confidence and also have a positive attitude towards themselves and what they feel capable of. This may also go hand in hand with teaching students to have a growth mindset.

How well do the career development theories discussed in Chapter 3 of Career Development Interventions address individuals from diverse backgrounds? Guide career behavior? Guide career decision-making?

The first one that can be a barrier can be the financial situation, that may be one of the biggest one that there might not be money so they will have to go to work to be able to support the family. The next one can be that they might be first generation, not a lot of information or motivation might be there, but with the proper support and information they can take advantage of all the resources that can be offered to first gen college students. 

How does Social Cognitive Career Theory and Krumboltz’s theory influence career outcomes? How do these theories guide and emphasize your own personal career?

Krumbolt’z theory I feel that was a big influence in where I am right now in life with the life transitions and approach them positively. Growing up I was close to my uncle and he was a teacher and when I was on vacation I would go with him. I then felt the love and passion he had for teaching, so I wanted to do the same positive changes and impact. Once I started college, I was easily drawn out of it and stopped going to college. I then started working at a local grocery store which I thought was a good paying job. After a couple years I couldn’t afford it so I got a second job at a local after school program and that is what brought me back the spark and desire to get back to school and work in the education field. I quit my morning job and went back to school instead and worked in the after school program. I feel that the path that I took had to do a lot with the life transitions that I had everything just turned out the way that it was suppose to be. 

How might your own cultural background affect the efficacy of the career intervention strategies you chose to use with your students?

I feel that the way that it would affect it, would be if working with students that have not passed through any experience. I feel that sharing my own experience and how it worked out would motivate them to continue school or at least to give it a try. I came from a family where my parents did not attend college, so I did not know what to expect. Sharing all the resources and services that are out there might be helpful for those that finance might be a barrier. That is the only thing that I see can happen but other than that it would be a great experience. 

 Identify the financial issues Lake Forest City Schools or Muddy Water Community College are experiencing.

 Assume the role of an administrator. If you choose a K-12 focus, your role is Assistant Superintendent for Finance. If you choose an institute of higher education for your focus, your role is Vice President of Finance and Administration. In your capacity, you are a member of the task force charged with brainstorming solutions for ongoing budget issues. As part of the task force, you will develop potential solutions for the issues as addressed in the assignment and include justifications for the solutions you develop. One of the largest issues you are currently facing is that if cuts are not made to the budget, then there is a possibility of having to place some staff members on an indefinite furlough in order to reduce costs. This is definitely something you want to avoid. As part of the task force, you will develop at least three potential solutions for the budget issues as addressed in the assignment and include justifications for the solutions you develop. 
You are the Assistant Superintendent for finance in Lake Forest City Schools (LFCS). Enrollment at LFCS is strong, with just over 3,500 students. Approximately 75 percent of the school district’s operating revenue comes from local taxes and city funding. It is February and the fiscal year ends on June 30. The city has not sent the last 3 million dollars of your annual state appropriation. The City Treasurer indicates that property tax income is lower than expected because many families experienced unemployment due to the recent pandemic. Your district has a small grant of less than 5 million dollars. There is enough operating cash to pay salaries through the end of May. If the needed funds are not received after May, teaching contracts will be held up and some faculty and staff members will face an indefinite furlough.
Programs and positions under consideration for budget cuts include, but are not limited to:

Special education.
Arts.
Vocational education.
After-school tutoring programs.
Extracurricular activities.

 Identify the financial issues Lake Forest City Schools or Muddy Water Community College are experiencing.
Summarize each issue and the negative impact these issues will have on the school or college’s ability to function if they are not resolved.
Propose a short-term plan with a specific action to resolve each of the short-term problems you identified.
Provide resources that may be available to the school or college division to help address the short-term financial issues that are taking place.
Propose a long-term strategy, up to three years, with a specific plan of action to prevent any similarly identified problems from transpiring.
Justify each of your measures and support them with research where applicable.

Marshall (2022) reports “In anorexia nervosa’s cycle of self-starvation, the body is denied the essential nutrients it needs to function normally.  Thus, the body is forced to slow down all of its processes to conserve energy, resulting in serious medical consequences” (P. 1). Marshall also surmises that lab work up on a patient may look normal, but this does not rule out impending death, death could happen quickly by cardiac arrest caused by electrolyte imbalances (2022. P. 1). 
Cultural and environmental implications affect a large amount of people within all ethnicity, gender, and age however women are largely targeted, the University of East Anglia state “his quite obvious connection between eating disorders and cultural expectations surrounding femininity is woefully neglected in much treatment” (P. 1).  With the technology boom in recent years this is ever more present for this population, a social media environment instills these behaviors in today’s society.  
Financial implications that cause anorexia include lack of income and homelessness. Underprivileged populations have no choice but to sacrifice food to prioritize other necessities. Chan (2023) reports 64.7 billion being spent on eating disorders per year, with 23,560 hospitalizations yearly (p. 1). 
In the ED with 16-year-old Jonathan Collins coming into the facility for anorexia nursing interventions would include evaluating the patients diet/exercise regimen and educate on proper diet and exercise with adequate fluid intake. Identify coping strategies and emotions related to weight, allowing the patient time to think and express how they’re feeling. This will allow underlying causes to surface for treatment. Lastly, addressing body images issues. Targeting these fears will allow the patient to accept a healthy body weight to maintain health and stay out of the hospital (Belleza, August 9, 2023. P. 1). 
According to Miller, Grinspoon, and Ciampa (2020) vital signs with anorexia tend to include a slower than normal heart rate, hypotension, and hypothermia. Lab values tend to include anemia and in some cases thrombocytopenia. Sodium levels average around 122, with normal levels being 135-145. Average potassium in patients with anorexia being 1.9 with normal values being 3.4-4.8. All of these values contribute to cardiac arrest via electrolyte imbalance. In some anorexia patients there are dysrhythmias due to electrolyte imbalances and hypovolemia. Also of note with women populations are menstrual dysfunction and osteoporosis (P. 1). 
Treatment includes a combination of psychotherapy, family therapy, and medicine according to St. Lukes Hospital (2015), they also state “A combination of treatments can give the person the medical, psychological, and practical support they need. Cognitive behavioral therapy, along with antidepressants, can be an effective treatment for eating disorders. Complementary and alternative (CAM) therapies may help with nutritional deficiencies” (P. 1).

1. Thoroughly explain the pathophysiology of anorexia. Use a scholarly or authoritative source to support your answer.
Anorexia is a medical condition summarized by an inadequate intake of nutrients to regulate an individual’s weight to reduce their BMI and be ‘thin’.  It causes physiological imbalances such as amenorrhea and psychological imbalances such as an obsessive-compulsive need to exercise or an all-encompassing fear of gaining weight. This population exhibits body dysmorphia.  Once begun, this disease is persistent in select populations (Klein, 2004).
1. Examine each of the following three factors related to this disease process. Support all three with a scholarly source.
Cultural:  Western culture perpetuates a standard of beauty based on being thin.  This standard is propagated through social media outlets. Klein (2004) summarizes that popular media not only emphasizes the need to be a thing but perpetuates it through advertisements such as marketing diet fads and fitness trends.
Financial: Relating to the treatment of anorexia, a study by Gatt et al. (2014) found significant household financial stress for those seeking treatment for their eating disorder.  They compared treatment costs to being the second highest after cardiac artery bypass surgery.  As the disease is notoriously difficult to manage by oneself, it would be prudent to establish funding for this patient population so all individuals can access treatment without causing significant burdens on themselves and their families.
Environmental implications: Nature vs. nature has been heavily debated in pursuing the best understanding of anorexia. Klinger (2012) highlights that from an environmental perspective, children who have been neglected and/or abused are more prone to develop anorexia.
1. Identify 3-5 priority nursing interventions for the client in the emergency department.
-Cardiac monitoring due to electrolyte imbalance
-Fall risk prevention related to weakness
-Blood glucose monitoring related to low nutrient intake
1. Describe labs and diagnostic testing you would want to include in client’s plan of care and why. What are critical indicators? Support with a scholarly source.
Metevir, a nutrition counselor, highlights the importance of the following lab and diagnostic tests in anorexic patients (2022):
1. Vital sign monitoring, such as bradycardia, can signify a weak heart-conserving energy.
2. EKG to detect abnormal heart rhythm due to weakened heart muscles.
3. Complete metabolic panel to look for electrolyte imbalances in kidney and liver health. Hypokalemia would be a critical indicator.
4. Blood glucose tests as low food intake results in less glucose, which our brains depend upon
5. Hematology detects if our blood carries enough oxygen to perfuse our organs adequately.
6. Bone density test as low food intact can result in reduced hormone output, leading to weak and brittle bones.
 
1. What members of the interdisciplinary team need to be included for holistic patient-centered care? Provide a rationale and support with a scholarly source.
I believe that family members and friends are included in any team to support and care for those treated with anorexia.  Knowing the care plan, these individuals can best provide care and support to the patient while out of the hospital, setting them up for success.  Joy et al. (2003) believe that a physician, mental health professional, and nutritionist are also integral components of the care team as it affect an individual physically and mentally, and each has an overlapping specialty to assist the patient best.  In an emergency department setting, involving a social worker or case management is integral to establishing resources for patients seeking help in an outpatient or in-patient setting.

Name: (0.25 points) Be sure to include your full name (First and Last).
Date: (0.25 points) You can use a MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format, or type out the date
Experiment #: (0.25 points) Be sure the experiment number matches the Lab Module.
Title: (0.25 points) The title of the experiment should also match the title given in the Lab Module.
Purpose: (1 point) This section should be written in complete sentences using third person, and present or past tense. The purpose should include the goal of the experiment. If there is more than one part to the experiment you may summarize all goals in this section. This short description should make it clear what skills or knowledge should be gained from the completion of the experiment.
Procedure: (2 points) The procedure should be a step by step set of instructions that is detailed enough that someone could use it to replicate the experiment. This is very similar to a recipe in cooking. You can write this section using paragraphs, numbered lists, or bullet points, however it should be written in complete sentences (third-person, present or past tense), and well-organized. If there is more than one part to the experiment, you can have multiple subsections in the procedure.
Be sure to include a procedure for:
Part 1:

The different types of pipettes
How to use a pipette
The precision experiment
The accuracy experiment

Part 2:

SDS-Page Electrophoresis
Agarose Gel Electrophoresis

Data/Results/Calculations: (2 points) In this section you should organize all the observations and data that was collected as part of the experiment, being sure to clearly label each measurement and/or part of the experiment. You may wish to construct a data table for a neat and professional looking report. Please note that screen shots from the lab video of data are not permitted.
Be sure to include data/results/calculations for:
Part 1:

Pipette Precision (Variable Volume vs. Graduated Glass Pipette)

Discussion Questions: (2 points)
How is a glass pipette similar and different from an automatic pipettor?
What is the difference between accuracy and precision?
When pipetting how should you treat volatile organic compounds differently than water-based solutions?
Is electrophoresis an analytical or preparative technique? Explain giving one piece of evidence in your rationale.
Conclusion: (2 points) The conclusion section should be a well developed paragraph (at least 6 sentences), separate from the Data/Results/Calculations section. It should be written in complete sentences (third-person, present or past tense) and should summarize the results of the entire experiment(s). You should emphasize what important concepts were explored, what the results showed, what conclusions can be drawn, and how the purpose of the experiment was accomplished.
Be sure to include:
Which pipette was the more precise?
Which pipette was the more accurate?
Notes: The notes section is where you should put information that does not belong in other sections. This would include background information, or anything else that you deem important that was not directly related to performing the experiment

Portfolio – Business Intelligence
This week, you need to discuss a current business process in a  
specific industry. Note the following:

-The 
current business process itself. (Do  
NOT explain what a business process means in general!)

-The industry where the business process is utilized in.
After explaining the current situation, take the current learning from the course and:
· Explain a new technology that the business should deploy. Be specific, don’t only note the type of technology but the particular instance of technology. (For example, a type of technology is smart automation; a specific type of automation is automated light-dimming technology).
· Note the pros and cons of the technology selected.
· Note various factors the business should consider before deploying the new technology.
The above submission should be 
three pages long, excluding the title and reference pages. Remember, the total length does not include the APA-approved cover page or the references. There should be at least three APA-approved references to support your work.
