  • Title: Voice and Counseling Skills Reflection for a Client with Vocal Nodules: A Case Study

    Voice & Counseling
    Skills Reflection
    Case Study
    Beverly was a 45-year-old
    woman who was an elementary school teacher for 20 years.  She loved
    teaching, and she loved children. She was a single mother struggling
    financially to support 14-and 17-year-old daughters. She was active in her
    church and sang in the choir.  She was, in many ways, typical of many
    adults with vocal nodules: she had a job that required excessive use of her
    voice, sometimes with vocal abuses such as yelling to children on the
    playground, and she had a variety of stresses in her life from financial
    stresses from trying to raise two teenage children. Beverly tried to reach the
    extremes of her vocal range during choir practice, choice performances and
    singing around the house, and she had little time to take care of herself and
    relax. She felt guilty when she tried to do something for herself even though
    she felt chronically tense.
    Besides symptomatic voice
    therapy and vocal hygiene (conversation) education, the SLP tried to encourage
    Beverly to learn how to take care of herself. She eventually began to
    appreciate that if she “used herself up and burned herself out,” she would
    not be able to continue teaching or singing, and she may have difficulty using
    her voice when trying to communicate with her family and friends while teaching
    and in all other environments. As she learned to balance her life a little
    better, some of her generalized tension, as well as her vocal fold tension,
    began to diminish.
    Assignment Information
    For your reflection
    assignment, answer the following clinical questions in a 2 -3 page
    (single-spaced) reflection.
    How
    would you educate this client about the links between her voice and her
    lifestyle patterns?
    What
    would you say if the client asked you for specific advice, for instance,
    “Should I stop singing in the choir so I can take better care of my
    voice?” or “How can I juggle all of my daily demands and still

  • “Justifying Budget Proposals and Aligning with Organizational Goals: A Nurse Leader’s Guide” “Maximizing Profitability and Fiscal Success: A Comprehensive Plan for Managing Labor, Equipment, and Services in Healthcare”

    I have attached the grading rubric, guiding questions and the original paper to use as a reference to write this paper
    Negotiating budgets and communicating financial needs to stakeholders are vital skills for nurse leaders. Given today’s numerous constraints on funding and a highly competitive environment, the ability to win support for your budget proposals hinges on being able to present a compelling argument based on well-documented needs, accurate financial information, and a justifiable business case.
    This assessment provides an opportunity for you to examine the mission and goals of a health care organization, in order to justify a budget proposal. A persuasive argument requires thoughtful justification and rationale for the expenses required to support your proposal. A proposal that supports the organization’s mission and goals strengthens your argument and is much more likely to get you what you need.
    In every health care organization, dollars are scarce and the budget process is carefully scrutinized at every level. Nurse leaders must be business-savvy. They must be able to make a compelling case for why every budget line item and every dollar on a budget supports the mission and goals of the unit and the organization. This means that nurse leaders must be able to think in terms of the business of health care and be able to present a business proposal or plan with thorough and thoughtful justification and rationale for expenses. The business plan should present accurate, factual data and costs, and should also be concise and clearly organized.
    The financial department has reviewed your unit’s operating budget and has asked you to submit an executive summary that provides support for your budget proposal. Your challenge is to position your unit favorably within an environment of competing demands for limited funding.
    As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
    Consider the operating budget you developed in Assessment 2.
    How would you justify your budget to executive leaders?
    How would you link your budget to the organization’s goals and objectives?
    How would you propose to meet productivity goals while staying within budget?
    The following resources are required to complete the assessment.
    Note: The following requirements correspond to the grading criteria in the assessment scoring guide. Be sure that your executive summary addresses each point, at a minimum. You may also want to read the Guiding Questions: Budget Negotiations and Communication [DOCX] Download Guiding Questions: Budget Negotiations and Communication [DOCX]to better understand how each criterion will be assessed.
    Write an executive summary of the operating budget you prepared in Assessment 2 that makes a compelling case for why funds should be allocated for your budget.
    Outline a strategic plan that ensures profitability and fiscal success.
    Present a plan to meet staff productivity goals, while staying within budget parameters.
    Justify equipment and service costs.
    Analyze department, unit, or project alignment with the organization’s mission and goals.
    Write clearly and concisely, using correct grammar and mechanics.
    Integrate relevant and credible sources of evidence to support your assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using current APA style.

  • “Improving Decision Making and Problem Solving in Organizations: The Importance of Accurate Framing and Mapping Techniques” “Improving Interdisciplinary Collaboration through Process Mapping and Staff Input: A Case Study of Huddle at St. Mary’s Medical Center”

    Original instructions 
    Discuss a problem your current or former organization (pseudonyms are okay) solved or a suboptimal decision the organization made because the frame was incorrect. Describe the outcome(s) that resulted due to the incorrect framing. What barriers to brilliant decision making do you believe impacted the organization and why? Describe how you would have framed the problem and what mapping technique you would have used. NOTE: You do NOT have to create the mapping technique. You only have to explain why you chose it.
    Students are reminded to follow the discussion board guidelines and rubric criteria as outlined below:
    Respond to the following discussion post adding value to the conversation and each post should consist of 150 words minimum 
    Claudette post 
    In the context of organizational problem-solving and decision-making, inaccurate framing can, indeed, result in undesirable choices and consequences. TechGenix, a fictitious company, as an instance, which experienced a significant drop in employee productivity. A thorough performance monitoring system was put in place as a result of the first conceptualization of the problem, which was that staff were not motivated enough. But this strategy did nothing but make people more stressed out and less productive. Low morale and a high turnover rate were the results, which suggests that the problem was not properly defined.  A more effective framing of the problem would have involved a broader perspective, taking into account factors like work environment, job design, and employee well-being (Olson et al., 2022).
    I would have chosen to use a cross-functional process map to frame the problem, which would allow for a visualization of the workflow across different departments, identifying obstacles and areas of stress that could be contributing to the drop in productivity (Olson et al., 2022). It would also highlight the transitions between departments, which are particularly important in this situation. Confirmation bias, where the management only considered evidence that supported their initial assumption, and overconfidence, assuming they already had the right solution (Dierickx, 2020)
    Instead of blaming the problem only on low employee motivation, the company might have used a cross-functional process map to pinpoint particular workflow areas that needed to be improved, such distributing responsibilities or simplifying communication (Dierickx, 2020). This strategy probably would have produced more focused and efficient solutions, raising output and raising employee satisfaction.  The secret to effectively framing a problem is to be receptive to other viewpoints and conduct a comprehensive analysis of the circumstance before drawing any judgments (Olson et al., 2022). To determine the genuine nature of the issue at hand, it is important to pose the appropriate questions and be prepared to challenge presumptions.

    The healthcare field is a constant evolving and changing environment in order to help reduce barriers and improve patient care. Revisions in the process due to incorrect framework or an attempt to improve the framework that is already in place. St. Mary’s Medical Center has a daily huddle meeting at noon to go over each patient on the unit and the barriers for remaining hospitalized. The idea of a huddle is to address barriers is essential and helps with communication throughout the multidisciplinary team. However, the only team members at huddle were the nurses, charge nurse and case managers. The base idea of a daily huddle is important but there was previously very little communication with the remaining multidisciplinary team. Research shows “Nurses and physicians collaborating between departments determined the plan of action for the day to ensure efficient and timely care was provided to all pediatric patients within the hospital and those needing to be transferred from other facilities.” (McBeth et al., 2017) Due to the incorrect framing the outcomes of the huddle resulted in continued lack of communication between the multidisciplinary team.
    To improve upon the idea of huddle, hospital leadership revisited huddle and made it mandatory for all members of the multidisciplinary team to be involved. Hospitalists, nurses, charge nurses, nurse managers, case managers and a representative from administration were all in attendance to address each patient and their barriers to discharge to the appropriate next level of care. The barriers to brilliant decision making that impacted St. Mary’s Medical Center as an organization is the members in attendance at huddle. If the hospitalist team was not in attendance there was not a real-time accurate report of patient barriers for discharge. Alternate barriers included communication within the multidisciplinary team. Research has shown “Strong and committed leadership is a key contributory factor is sustaining commitment to the huddle.” (Montague et al., 2019)
    If I was employed in a hospital leadership position and involved in the improvement of huddle at St. Mary’s Medical Center, I would have implemented more research prior to interventions. First, I would’ve visited different units of the hospital and watched as huddle was performed. I would have interviewed nurses, charge nurses and case management to gather a consensus of what is and is not working. After that, I would have asked the staff what they would find more helpful from the huddle meetings. I would have used the mapping technique of a process flow chart to help with visualization of the huddle process. A process flowchart would be beneficial to visual how huddle meeting can have all members of the multidisciplinary team engage and help with hand-off between different team members. Therefore, the process flowchart would show a visual representation of the huddle process from start to finish.

    Hello Classmates,
    Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech reflects leading through hard times while providing a defining vision for followers by supporting black workers over discriminatory and unsafe conditions during a time of violence and racism. In this time of injustice, Martin Luther King Jr. talks to his followers about biblical stories of Hebrews and walks them through tough situations. He urges nonviolent protest because he believes black people are not interested in negative protest and arguments. These instances of window breaking should not be their priority. He explained he had vision to his followers. “And I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!” (King 1968). This was a vision that explained they should stay together because unity helps create a collective voice against injustice. 
    The conditions were harsh at the time and negatively impacted King’s leadership ability. People were suffering and starving from poor working conditions. In addition, protestors have been sprayed by water hoses. Those who remained after the crowd dispersion were arrested. These conditions injected fear, uncertainty, and doubt into his followers and made it more difficult for Martin Luther King Jr. to lead them. 
    Current leaders could take some directions from the speech to address the present and the future success of a strategy, movement, vision or the success of an organization. One takeaway is to always stand firm with a clear vision. As long as the team has a clear vision for an organization, they will know their current actions have purpose. Another takeaway is to remain calm in front of fear and inspire the team. Like King during his speech, having a leader who is unafraid will help the team remain confident during tough times. The head of the spear needs to stay sharp and lead the way, uninterrupted by outside forces. One last takeaway from King’s speech is to urge for a nonviolent method. This maintains ethics and leadership within the team. Having morals is important for leaders because it separates those who prioritize self-interest and those who prioritize utilitarianism. The best solution for a member may not be the best solution for the whole organization.

    Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” is a powerful example of leading through tough times and inspiring people with a clear vision. He addressed the struggles of African Americans, especially the Memphis sanitation workers, and called for boycotts against businesses that did not support workers’ rights. Despite facing violent opposition, economic hardship, and internal divisions within the Civil Rights Movement, he emphasized unity and nonviolence. The speech reflects his ability to provide hope and direction during challenging times. He recognized the immediate struggles while inspiring his audience to envision a brighter future. Significant resistance to the Civil Rights Movement existed, including violent opposition from institutional forces and individuals against racial equality. Despite these challenges, Dr. King remained steadfast, using his platform to call for unity and perseverance.
    Today’s leaders can draw several lessons from Dr. King’s speech to address challenges. Leaders should clearly communicate their vision and the steps needed to achieve it, much like Dr. King’s focus on economic justice and nonviolent protest. Emphasizing the power of collective action can move followers toward a common goal, as seen in Dr. King’s call for boycotts that united the community in a shared cause. Balancing the immediate concerns of followers while keeping sight of long-term objectives is important, and demonstrating courage and resolve in the face of opposition can inspire and strengthen followers’ commitment to the cause. His ability to lead through difficult times by providing a defining vision continues to offer good insights for leaders striving to effect change and guide their organizations toward success.
