Module 5: Capstone Project – Presentation and Evaluation Instructions

 

NOTE: You will create two new electronic files for this assignment instead of typing directly into this document.
Overview: Capstone Project – Presentation and Evaluation
Your project should represent high-quality work – something you would expect to see in a professional setting. Perhaps your employer will be interested in facilitating
its use in a real-life situation!
You will upload your PowerPoint for grading. You will also upload the forms or documents you would use for evaluation (two evaluation tools will be created) of your
information dissemination. These might be in the form of informal observation records and/or formal tests or questionnaires. (This evaluation portion will be submitted
as one Word document. See below for all that must be included). There is a separate portal for each portion of the assignment in Blackboard.

InstructionsYou will create your project’s presentation and evaluation tools as an electronic files.
PowerPoint Portion of Assignment (Assignment 2):
PresentationYou will submit a Power Point presentation containing a title slide, 10-15 slides each with comprehensive content demonstrating use of your peer-reviewed sources, and
reference slides. Remember to include a source for each image or graphic included on the slides; this is easiest done directly on the slide under or next to the image.
Your “talking points” are considered speaker notes and should contain 20-30 minutes of “talk time.” Information read directly from the slide should be included in the
speaker notes. We recommend you time yourself while reading your speaker notes to determine if your presentation is within the 20-30 minutes for content. Your speaker
notes should be written exactly as you would be speaking to your audience. You do need to include citations in your speaker notes. Be sure to include all of your
references on the reference slide(s).
Evaluation Portion of Project (Assignment 3):(This will be one document with all of the following included in that document)
Title PageCreate a title page according to the standard for the UTA College of Nursing.
Evaluation (2 Tools are required – one for quality and one for content)You may create a new Word document for most of the types of evaluation tools you would use, such as tests, questionnaires, charts for observations notes, etc. Create
two evaluation tools. Include all in the same file as separate pages with clear headings and instructions designating the use of each tool.
Other types of evaluation tools you might use are databases or spreadsheets. It is important that you design such tools so that you need only to upload and submit one
file, though, so if you use a combination of Word documents and spreadsheets, copy/paste the contents of the spreadsheets into the Word document to create a single
file.
Evaluation form requirements: You must submit two evaluation forms. One form will address evaluation of content (example: a post-test or survey, audit form) and one
form will address quality (rate the presentation, speaker, and environment; consider using a Likert scale). Remember you will create both forms for this assignment. Do
not copy forms from other sources.  Include the time, place, and who you presented presentation. Also, discussion on the methods you used to evaluate your project.
Include why the method, how you will use the results, and plans for improvement.
GridYou will include the full completed grid from Module 3. Please be sure to make any needed changes based on feedback from your coach.
Evaluation ParagraphYou must include at least a paragraph (minimum 100 words) to discuss the methods to evaluate your Project. Include why the method you have chosen to evaluate the
project is appropriate. Include in your paragraph how will you will take results from the evaluation and change or improve the presentation.
Reference PageCreate a formal reference page including all of your nine (or more) references from your project. Please be sure to use formal APA format. Refer to your APA manual for
any questions.

(15 Points) Grid is missing items.  Lacks either a visual or a verbal strategy. 4 or more APA/grammar errors.(10 Points) Grid is not completed. More than 4 APA errors. Weak or no statement of how information will be presented.(0 Points)IndicationsDescribe in the space below the topic, problem, or issue within the focus area that your Capstone Project will address. Explain why this issue is important and why you
selected it in particular. Provide examples of situations related to the issue in your practice and other examples you might expect to see in your selected focus area.• The focus of my paper centers on the murky distinction between nursing administration roles and nursing management roles, and how a misunderstanding of the two
can lead to confusion and lead to issues resolving conflict in the healthcare workplace. I chose this issue because I wanted to take the opportunity to learn more
about nurse administrators and the role they play in this system, as I am already familiar with the function of nurse manager. I also chose this topic because it is
important for nurses like myself and patients to understand the difference, so that any issues that arise from the patient’s end may be solved efficiently by
contacting, depending on who is better equipped to provide the solution, and any conflicts within the nursing hierarchy can be limited if not avoided altogether.

AudienceDescribe in the space below your target audience, including the setting for which your information dissemination will be planned. This project is designed for an in-
person setting so an internet or online audience/setting would not be appropriate for your presentation. You may mention other populations who would benefit from this
information as well, but explain why you decided to address your target audience.• The target audience for this presentation is ground nurses and the patients they serve on a daily basis. This presentation is meant to help them better
understand the difference between a nurse administrator and a nurse manager and how that difference plays out in healthcare delivery. I have targeted these two groups
(nurses and patients) because they are the ones supremely affected by a misunderstanding of the two nursing roles. Patients and their families who do not under the
distinction between administrator and manager run the risk of placing blame in the wrong places when an issue arises, which could exacerbate the situation. For
instance, a patient and his family members who are: 1) upset by the lack of allocated resources to the patient’s department; and 2) do not understand the difference
between nursing roles may end up taking frustration out on the ground nurses or nurse managers, when the nurse administrator is responsible for budget allocations. A
misconception of the hierarchical nurse roles among nurses could also give way to conflict if, for example, a nurse is upset with her manager about scheduling changes,
when an administrator is in charge of staff scheduling. By extension patient families also benefit from this information, as well as any other lay persons.

 

ImplicationsIn your Capstone Project, you will be developing a mechanism to disseminate important information related to the topic you have selected. Explain, in detail, the
impact of directing this information to the appropriate audience(s). Please make sure you have considered all aspects (financial, regulatory, accrediting, safety and
patient satisfaction outcome, issues and aspects of the implication):• Once nurses and patients understand the difference between the nurse management and administrative functions, the system of conflict resolution in the heath
facility will be more efficient. Any issues raised by the patient or the patient’s family will be brought to the right person’s attention, either by the patient or the
patient’s nurse, and it can be handled correctly. Additionally, any issue that nurse might be having with another nurse will properly be handled by the nurse manager,
or depending on the issue, a nurse administrator would be better equipped to bring a solution. This can lead to a more efficiently-running workplace and a higher
patient satisfaction.

 

Outcomes and ContentYou have already submitted your draft Outcomes and Content topics, so you need to use the provided grid and make any needed changes. For this assignment, you must also
include at least three references per outcome. You may include references that are not from peer-reviewed journals, but be judicious in their use, and do not include
those in your count of required articles. Remember that all references must be less than five years old.

 

 

StrategiesIn the grid, describe each visual aid, handout, and/or verbal presentation/demonstration strategy that your information dissemination would include. You may use the
same strategies for each outcome, or you may “mix and match”. Here are some of the types of visual aids you might use:Slides (like PowerPoint)PosterBrochureHandoutChartDiagramsModelsVideoSimulationHere are some of the types of verbal strategies you might use:LectureDemonstrationGuided questionsExpert panelGuided hands-on trainingBe sure to include a Q&A session for the conclusion of your presentation.TimeIn the grid, record the amount of time needed for each activity or part of your presentation.

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass:

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass:

 

Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass:
Read the following:
Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, Written by HimselfNorman Yetman, “An Introduction to the WPA Slave Narratives” An Introduction to the WPA Slave Narratives Document Set of WPA Narratives The following questions may help you judge the quality of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass:
How did Frederick Douglass understand his “life”? What were its lessons? What lessons did he learn? What lessons did he hope his fellows still in slavery would learn?What lessons did he hope white people–North and South–would learn?What was Douglass’ assessment of Sophia Auld’s character? How did becoming a slaveowner change her? In Douglass’opinion, how did slavery change society?What were the implications of Douglass’s understanding of Sophia Auld for his view of the proper role of women in American society.Douglass entered a Northern society increasing divided by class, workingclass and owning class. Who did Douglass identify with? How do you know that? What difference
did it mean?Among the competing definitions of equality—-Jackson’s, Skidmore’s, Grimke’s—-which did Douglass identify with.Most Northerners had no direct knowledge of slavery. Douglass’s Narrative informed them of what it was like? How accurate was Douglass’s portrayal?What was the nature of slavery in Frederick Douglass’ Maryland? How representative was Douglass’s experience?What were the differences between life on an Eastern Shore plantation and life in Baltimore? What were the benefits and disadvantages of urban and rural slave life?Consider the place of the family in Douglass’ Life? The role of his mother and various surrogate mothers? Douglass’ father? Douglass’ kin?How did Douglass gain his freedom? Consider the role “will” and “education.”Consider the role of violence in Douglass’ story. Why were slaves punished so harshly and arbitrarily? How did Douglass react the first time he witnessed the whipping
of a fellow slave? How did he demonstrate his manhood?How did slaves distinguish a good from a bad master, a good from a bad overseer? By what standard did slaves measure kindness?Consider the religious beliefs of Frederick Douglass? How does he understand God? How does he understand religion?What does Douglass tell us about Afro-American life in the free states? What was the relationship between Douglass and other free workers? In Baltimore? In the North?After reflecting on each of the documents in the set and the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave, Written by Himself, write an essay that
answers the following:
Numerous scholars have argued that the purpose of the slave narrative was “to enlighten white/non black readers about both the realities of slavery as an institution
and the humanity of black people as individuals deserving of full human rights.” Compare and contrast the narratives in the WPA document set with Douglass’s Narrative.
What is similar? What is different? Do these narratives achieve this purpose? Historically what were the purposes of these narratives? How did the historical moment
shape these narratives? Are these narratives useful for the 21st century reader? Why or why not?
Be sure to cite all the documents in the WPA set. Your paper should be about 6-8 double-spaced typed pages. Please email your completed paper to the instructor.
*Please read the instructions carefully for there are two links to documents that must read, in order to complete the the assignment completely. If links can not be

Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders

Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders

 

Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders

 

Discussion: Maladaptive Responses to Immune Disorders
Maladaptive responses to disorders are compensatory mechanisms that ultimately have adverse health effects for patients. For instance, a patient’s allergic reaction to
peanuts might lead to anaphylactic shock, or a patient struggling with depression might develop a substance-abuse problem. To properly diagnose and treat patients,
advanced practice nurses must understand both the pathophysiology of disorders and potential maladaptive responses that some disorders cause.
Consider immune disorders, such as HIV, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus E. What are resulting maladaptive responses for patients with these
disorders?
To prepare:
Review Chapter 6 and Chapter 8 in the Huether and McCance text, as well as the Yi, et al, article in the Learning Resources. Reflect on the concept of maladaptive
responses to disorders.
Select two of the following immune disorders: HIV, psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and/or systemic lupus E (SLE).
Think about the pathophysiology of each disorder you selected. Consider the compensatory mechanisms that the disorders trigger. Then, compare the resulting maladaptive
and physiological responses of the two disorders.
Consider the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with these disorders and why.
Select one of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Consider how your selected factor might impact the disorder. Then, reflect
on how your selected factor might impact the effects of prescribed drugs, as well as any measures you might take to help reduce any negative side effects.
By Day 3
Post a brief description of the pathophysiology of the immune disorders you selected. Explain how the maladaptive and physiological responses of the two disorders
differ. Then, describe the types of drugs that would be prescribed to patients to treat symptoms associated with these immune disorders and why. Explain how the factor
you selected might impact the pathophysiology of each disorder as well as the effects of prescribed drugs. Finally, explain any measures you might take to help reduce
any negative side effects.
Note: Post a (at least 500 word) response. Be sure to use evidence from the readings and include in-text citations. Utilize essay-level writing practice and skills,
including the use of transitional material and organizational frames. Use the writing resources and the Discussion and Response Rubric to develop your post. Three
credible references are required for this discussion post. A reference list is required. Use the most current evidence (usually less than or equal to 5 years old).

Explain the significance of the battle of saratoga

Explain the significance of the battle of saratoga

The topic for your essay is from the American Revolution/War For Independence era:

Explain the significance of the Battle of Saratoga, why it was considered a turning point in the war. Your essay should include background of the war leading up to the battle, but more importantly, the battle itself and the consequences/results of the battle. This is NOT an essay about the Revolutionary War, although there should be some war background. This is about Saratoga and your emphasis should be on that event.

A title page is not necessary. Place the title, your name and campus location at the top of page one.

Sources: Sources can be either primary or secondary and must be cited using either APA, MLA, or Turabian style (in text, footnotes, or endnotes are acceptable). Claiming words as your own from a source without proper citation is equivalent to plagiarism of which punishment is harsh. Even if you just rephrase or paraphrase a concept in a paragraph, whether you are using a quote or not, you must cite the source. The citing of any quote is mandatory.

A minimum of five credible sources is required; more is certainly acceptable. Types of acceptable sources include: Books, academic, professional or scholarly journals, government documents, and professional agency websites. Ebsco and other data base articles which would be found in bound journals are appropriate. I would prefer that you not use your textbook as a source. Also acceptable, as primary sources, are personal diaries, journals, personal correspondence, and newspapers of the period. Do not use contemporary newspapers, magazines, encyclopedias, or dictionaries, including Wikipedia! No personal interviews may be used! Students may not use more than 2 websites as sources! Ebsco is not a website, it is a database!

Whatever method you use for citing a source, it must be done correctly. Improper citation is a deterrent to points as is incorrect grammar and punctuation. If you are unsure as to how to construct a citation, email the instructor.

Format: One inch margins, Times New Roman font, font size 12, and double spaced. Number the pages with the numbers located at the bottom of each page.

Length: A minimum of 700 words, NOT including bibliography (source list), and no longer than 1000 words.

Co-Teaching Interventions, & Field Experience B: Observation of Student Differences and Individual Learning Needs

 

Imagine you have a student with autism in your class. He is struggling with working in a group, getting along with other students, and interacting at age-appropriate
levels within the group. You regularly use group work for assignments, often daily. You find that your student with autism has meltdowns during each and every group
work session. Sometimes he even has these meltdowns before you put students in groups, as he anticipates the overstimulation before it even occurs. Other students have
expressed concerns and have asked to not work with him and not be in his group. When meltdowns occur, they affect the entire classroom for several minutes. The
outbursts range from mild to moderate, from tantrums to crying or shutting down.

In an essay of 500-750 words, explain:

How you would intervene and de-escalate the student with autism.
How you would intervene and debrief the other students in the class after a meltdown.
Proactive ways to prevent outbursts in the future.
How you would collaborate with a co-teacher to seek a solution for the situation.
What support you and your co-teacher might need to engage and support all students.
Ethical and legal concerns with sharing information with the class and other professionals.
Support your findings with a minimum of two scholarly resources.

Spend at least 2.5 hours to complete the following field experience.

Interview a certified special education teacher at the educational level (PK- 12) of your program, about the following:

What are some similarities and differences among students with and without exceptionalities?
What are some characteristics of various exceptionalities and the educational implications for students with exceptionalities?
What is the effect an exceptionality can have on a student’s academic and social development, attitudes, interests, and values?
How do you collaborate with general education teachers?
In what ways do you address the unique learning needs of the individuals with exceptionalities in the classroom, including for those students with culturally and
linguistically diverse backgrounds?
How do you protect the privacy of students with exceptionalities? What are some dilemmas you have experienced with this?
In 250-500 words, summarize and reflect upon your interview and on the professionalism and integrity of protecting student privacy. In addition, be sure to explain how
you will use your findings in your future professional practice, citing two recommended strategies for differentiating instruction based on learning differences.

Week 4 Assignment

 

Please watch the video on WA #3 — Approaching the Synthesis of Sources essay. Then complete the following task.

Imagine that you are working for a large company. The manager of your department is considering allowing workers in your department to telework; in other words, to
work from home.

However, your manager is not sure what to expect from this possible change. She is not sure what the advantages, pitfalls, or unexpected issues are regarding
teleworking. For example, she is not sure if teleworkers become less or more productive.

Your manager has asked you to review the literature on teleworking. She has asked that you submit a literature review to her next month on the topic of teleworking.

What is your manager asking you to do?

Does she want a proposal that supports a new teleworking arrangement?
Does she want a persuasive paper that takes a stand against teleworking?
Or does she want something entirely different from those two options?
Please give your answer in a paragraph of 5-10 sentences, including what areas (categories) of the topic might be investigated.
