  • “Utilizing Informatics to Monitor Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators: An Audio Training Module for New Nurses” “Improving Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators: A Tutorial for New Nurses” Title: Enhancing Quality and Safety through Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators: A Tutorial for New Nurses

    please follow the instructions below I attached an example with it. Thank you 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.
    Professional Context
    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.

    Preparation
    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.
    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:
    Review the nursing-sensitive quality indicators presented in the Assessment 04 Supplement: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive quality Indicators [PDF] Download Assessment 04 Supplement: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive quality Indicators [PDF] resource and select one nursing-sensitive quality indicator to use as the focus for this assessment.
    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?
    Watch the Informatics and Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators Video Exemplar.
    Recording Your Presentation
    To prepare to record the audio for your presentation, complete the following:
    Set up and test your microphone or headset using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear and high quality when captured by the microphone.
    Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.
    Review Using Kaltura for Kaltura to record your presentation.
    View Creating a Presentation: A Guide to Writing and Speaking. This video addresses the primary areas involved in creating effective audiovisual presentations. You can return to this resource throughout the process of creating your presentation to view the tutorial appropriate for you at each stage.
    Notes:
    You may use other tools to record your tutorial. You will, however, need to consult Using Kaltura for instructions on how to upload your audio-recorded tutorial into the courseroom, or you must provide a working link your instructor can easily access.
    You may also choose to create a video of your tutorial, but this is not required.
    If you require the use of assistive technology or alternative communication methods to participate in this activity, please contact ****************************** to request accommodations.
    Instructions
    For this assessment, first review the nursing-sensitive quality indicators presented in the Assessment 04 Supplement: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive quality Indicators [PDF] Download Assessment 04 Supplement: Informatics and Nursing Sensitive quality Indicators [PDF] resource and select one nursing-sensitive quality indicator to use as the focus for this assessment.
    Next, imagine you are a member of a Quality Improvement Council at any type of health care system, whether acute, ambulatory, home health, managed care, et cetera. Your Council has identified that newly hired nurses would benefit from comprehensive training on the importance of nursing-sensitive quality indicators. The Council would like the training to address how this information is collected and disseminated across the organization. It would also like the training to describe the role nurses have in accurate reporting and high-quality results.
    The Council indicates a recording is preferable to a written fact sheet due to the popularity of audio blogs. In this way, new hires can listen to the tutorial on their own time using their phone or other device.
    As a result of this need, you offer to create an audio tutorial orienting new hires to these topics. You know that you will need a script to guide your audio recording. You also plan to incorporate into your script the insights you learned from conducting an interview with an authority on quality monitoring and the use of technology to collect and report quality indicator data.
    You determine that you will cover the following topics in your audio tutorial script:
    Introduction: Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicator
    What is the National Database of Nursing-Sensitive Quality Indicators?
    What are nursing-sensitive quality indicators?
    Which particular quality indicator did you select to address in your tutorial?
    Why is this quality indicator important to monitor?
    Be sure to address the impact of this indicator on the quality of care and patient safety.
    Why do new nurses need to be familiar with this particular quality indicator when providing patient care?
    Collection and Distribution of Quality Indicator Data
    According to your interview and other resources, how does your organization collect data on this quality indicator?
    How does the organization disseminate aggregate data?
    What role do nurses play in supporting accurate reporting and high-quality results?
    As an example, consider the importance of accurately entering data regarding nursing interventions.
    After completing your script, practice delivering your tutorial several times before recording it.
    Additional Requirements
    Audio communication: Deliver a professional, effective audio tutorial on a selected quality indicator that engages new nurses and motivates them to accurately report quality data in a timely fashion.
    Length: 8–10 minute audio recording. Use Kaltura to upload your recording to the courseroom, or provide a working link your instructor can access.
    Script: A separate document with the script or speaker’s notes is required. Important: Submissions that do not include the script or speaker’s notes will be returned as a non-performance.
    References: Cite a minimum of three scholarly and/or authoritative sources.
    APA: Submit, along with the recording, a separate reference page that follows APA style and formatting guidelines. For an APA refresher, consult the Evidence and APA page on Campus.

  • Title: The Impact of Friction Loss on Automatic Sprinkler Systems in Structural Fires

    How does friction loss affect automatic sprinkler systems as it pertains to structure fires?
    – 750 word essay with a minimum of 2 references and citations. 
    Chapter 5 discusses water supply for commercial sprinkler systems. Velocity is simply the speed at what water moves through the pipe. As water travels through the sprinkler pipe the pressure gradually decreases. The faster the water moves through a sprinkler pipe, the higher the friction loss. Industry standards have established 5 ft/s (1,5m/s) as an acceptable maximum velocity. Damaging surge pressures and rapidly increasing friction loss are two problems encountered when velocities exceed 5 feet per second (ft/s) – (1,5 m/s). To help determine what flow is safe to design with, there are pipe flow charts for various types of pipes in numerous sizes. Usually 1/2″ – 6″.
    What all this means is that it is critical to be aware of some of these basic principles when designing or changing aspects of your sprinkler system. The most common problem I encounter when working on an existing sprinkler system is that the designer and/or the installer has not used these design principles. As an example, the last system I worked on had a 3/4″ water meter feeding the system, the pipe size was 3/4″ PVC Schedule 40, and the water pressure was 75 psi. The installer had put 10 sprinkler heads on one circuit and the homeowners were unhappy with how the heads were working and the coverage the heads were providing. The problem here was the heads were trying to use 20 gallons per minute and the sprinkler system could only safely deliver around 12 gallons per minute. To solve this design problem often times is tricky and potentially expensive.

  • Title: “Breaking the Mold: The Literary Voice of Adrienne Rich in Confronting Gender and Sexual Norms in 20th Century America”

    we will be doing a project-based slideshow instead of writing an essay. You will be analyzing Adrienne Rich. You will need to analyze and examine how her/his literary voice and literature explores, questions, confronts, challenges, and exposes gender and/or sexual norms within the U.S. during the 20th Century. You will put the project together using PowerPoint, GoogleSlides, Canvas Studio or any other platform that you feel comfortable creating a slideshow in.
    Focus: You must focus your project on helping the reader understand who the writer is based on the prompt and why their literary voice is important and then analyze at least one piece of literature we have read in class, connecting it to the prompt.
    Slides for the writer: Include information about the writer that helps your viewer understand who the writer is and why their voice is important in confronting the status quo of gender and sexual identities in the U.S.
    Slides for literature analysis: Include textual evidence from the poems/prose/essay of the writer: use a minimum of 4 quotes in your literary analysis per source. Focus on the meaning of the literature you have chosen and how it engages challenging the status quo of gender/sexual realities in the 20th Century. 
    How many slides? You need a minimum of 8 slides that include written information and visual representations for what you are discussing. Make sure you create a balance between discussing who the author is and analyzing their literature. Error on having at least 3 slides that provide literary analysis.
    Feel free to be creative: Putting together a slideshow should hopefully be more fun than writing a traditional essay. 
    Narration: An audio explanation of the project is required. This narration will walk your audience through your presentation and prove answering the prompt. You may narrate more information than just what your slides say. This needs to be 5-7 minutes long. You can write the transcript only and I can do this part.
    Works Cited: Include a Works Cited of where you gather your information at the end of the slide show, and include in-text citations throughout the presentation.

  • Title: The Case of the Exoneration of Ryan Ferguson: A Miscarriage of Justice

    1). Choose a real-life criminal case in which an individual was exonerated. Read and gather
    information about this case from reliable sources (e.g., peer-reviewed articles, credible
    newspaper articles, etc.).
    2). Write a formal three-to-four-page, double-spaced paper addressing the questions
    (minimum length: three double-spaced pages of your own original writing; maximum length:
    four double-spaced pages of your own original writing).
    Use 12 point Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins. APA format is required. Make sure to
    cite all information properly. Avoid plagiarism. The references page must be on a separate page
    at the end of your document, and it does NOT count as part of the required page length.
    If you use direct quotes, use them sparingly. Your paper must address the following points:
    • Briefly describe the facts of your case.
    • Why was the individual wrongfully accused or convicted?
    • What evidence exonerated him or her?
    • What were the consequences?

  • Political Pop and its Impact on Society “The Impact of Political Pop Music: From “Say It Loud” to “Fight the Power” to “Dancing in the Street” “The Significance of “Dancing in the Street” in 1960s America”

    Question:
    Once you’ve read the article about Political Pop music above, write about what type of song(s) you feel identifies with your generation? What did you like about the article? Was there something you learned?
    This is your opinion. Do you agree or disagree with the author’s main point about “impactfulness?” What do you think? Give an example and discuss a song that you feel has had an impact on culture. (This could be a negative or a positive impact).
    This should be 3-4 paragraphs and clearly show the connection between your ideas and the article.
    HOW TO MAKE POLITICAL POP WITHOUT TRYING
    “Dancing in the Street” joined Motown’s burgeoning canon of amazing records immediately upon its release. But real-life events seemed to elevate the record from music history into American history.
    By
    Mark Reynolds
    / 26 August 2013
    Because it’s been ten whole minutes since someone last published a screed decrying the state of rap music.
    Not long ago, a woman let her teenage son take over the dial on the car radio. Big mistake. Instead of the reliably comfortable R&B of her favorite station, she was immediately subjected to song after song seemingly about nothing but strippers, alcohol, and other accouterments of nightclub life, or at least how it’s been portrayed in rap songs of late. Her son didn’t seem to have a problem with any of this, but it offended her sensibilities on numerous levels.
    She wondered if this is what rap music has finally become. Not that she’s a prude in any respect: there’s plenty of rap on her iPod; and in fact, her middle son and a relation on her father’s side are both rappers. But the stream of songs about boodies and sex and whatnot pouring out of her radio reminded her what most people outside rap’s core demographic – and many folks inside it as well – can’t stand about the music.
    In those eyes, rap’s all about boodies and sex and whatnot, or drugs and guns and whatnot, or money and brazen consumption and whatnot, or some other ghetto pathology or whatnot. What happened to us? Where oh where, the lament goes on, is the mindset of the Golden Age, that period in the late ’80s and early ’90s when rap was said to be black America’s CNN, not its crime blotter?
    Where is the music, they beseech, that rises above all that whatnot, to talk to and about our better angels, or at least imagine solutions and alternatives to the grim realities of life in the ‘hood?
    It’s certainly not on the radio, and it hasn’t been on the radio in ages, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. There are artists like the Coup and Killer Mike, who make speaking truth to power their personal business. There are Lupe Fiasco and Rhymefest, who speak out against the violence gripping the ‘hoods of their native Chicago. There’s the Roots, who devoted their 2011 album undun to exploring the contradictory swirls of defiance and nihilism driving many a young black male life nowadays. And any number of rappers have weighed in on the issues of their hour, in their own way, without pounding their chests for having made a political statement.
    Yet as admirable as their work is, finding the one song that speaks to and of this moment, that can galvanize those who aren’t plugged into the alpha and omega of current rap, is a little tricky. Maybe that’s because it’s so much harder to have a mass hit these days, with the former pop monoculture broken off into a ‘skillion’ Facebook pages and Pandora channels. And, as our befuddled mom discovered, commercial black radio playlists aren’t going out of their way to foment social change.
    It may also be that making a socially riveting song in any particular moment is harder than it seems. The standard-bearer for political rap is, of course, Public Enemy, and Chuck D still represents that standard after nearly 30 years in the public eye. But for all the band’s politically charged work, no one song sits at the sweet spot of righteous indignation and mass appeal quite like “Fight the Power” (1989):
    “Fight the Power” had, and still has, everything. Its hook grabs you from the jump, and an irresistible beat refuses to let you go. Chuck D breaks off some of his most memorable lines ever, and Flavor Flav is at his second-banana best. It captures the energy of its time, the summer of 1989. It is perfectly suited for jump-starting both a political rally and a block party (or a movie that’s a little of both – it accompanied the opening credits of Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing). And in case anyone missed any of those qualities, its title — a simple declaration anyone can easily remember — is invoked 31 times.
    “Fight the Power” represents a curious dynamic of political pop music. We admire the artists who devote themselves to making socially-minded statements. Activists draw sustenance from their catalogues, their music is part of the movement’s spiritual glue. Yet what we remember most are the songs that get to us in an emotional and visceral way, that propel us into action. We thank these artists for fighting the good musical fight, but what we love best are the hits.
    The same dynamic plays out when dialing it back a generation. The late ’60s and early ’70s were ripe with politically charged black pop music. Artists like Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, Curtis Mayfield, and Gil Scott-Heron were seen as sages as much as pop stars for their incisive commentaries. Numerous others had their say, but which songs do we remember most about those days? Two, really: James Brown’s “Say It Loud (I’m Black and I’m Proud)” and Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On”.
    They couldn’t be more different in tone: the former is jaunty self-assertion, the latter is inward reflection turned outward to the whole of society. But they have a lot in common. Both songs grab your attention in the first ten seconds. Both have simple lyrics that don’t require advanced political theory to grasp. Both have rhythms that carry you along effortlessly. And both deploy their titles as call-and-response hooks, irresistibly fun to sing out loud at either a rally or a party.
    And yes, they both, perhaps the most impactful songs of two artists with long and well-honored careers, were massive hits.
    The one thing those songs and “Fight the Power” have in common is that they were designed to be impactful. Their creators knew how to make great records, and they deployed those skills in the service of speaking in and to the tenors of their respective times. But there’s another type of pop song that becomes a social anthem – the kind that seems to capture its moment without really trying.
    Dialing it back a little further, the mid-’60s saw so many issues coming to such a head with so much passion and momentum, music reflecting the ‘a-changin’ times couldn’t help but happen. Even songs that didn’t have a hint of protest in their core got claimed by the zeitgeist.
    Enter “Dancing in the Street”.
    Martha Reeves and the Vandellas recorded it for Motown in July 1964. They were not the first choice of the song’s writers/producers, Mickey Stevenson, Ivy Jo Hunter and Gaye. The trio thought to pitch the song for recording by Kim Weston (Stevenson’s wife), but needed someone to record a demo for Weston to work from. While they were playing around with the backing track, Reeves was in the building; they asked her to give it a shot.
    She did so, twice. Take two became history.
    All thoughts of Weston or anyone else recording the song ceased immediately. The Vandellas, Rosalind Ashford, and Betty Kelly were quickly rounded up to add backup oohs and aahs. The backing track was dynamic, even by Motown standards – a trumpet fanfare kicked things off, and a hard backbeat groove (a departure from the Motown norm of the era), punctuated by tambourine slams on the two and four, made sitting futile. The title was mentioned 26 times in the song’s two-plus minutes, ensuring maximum stickiness. The bridge, in which the music shifts to a minor key while Reeves declares “it doesn’t matter what you wear”, is a composition lesson onto itself. And of course, there was Reeves’ soaring, urgent lead vocal.
    Berry Gordy, who had the final say on what singles would be released, thought it was the quintessential hook-happy pop record. “Dancing in the Street” hit the streets on 31 July.
    It would climb to number two on the pop charts, denied the top rung only by Manfred Mann’s “Do Wah Diddy Diddy”. It spawned cover versions by everyone from the Kinks to the Everly Brothers to Petula Clark. The Mamas and the Papas’ version, more hippie-pop and less groove-heavy, was a hit in 1966. In time, it became something of a rock standard; even an early incarnation of the Carpenters had at it:
    (Relax: the sight and sound of Karen Carpenter getting busy on a drum kit emblazoned with her name – not the band’s name, her name – was a revelation on multiple levels for me, too.)
    “Dancing in the Street” joined Motown’s burgeoning canon of amazing records immediately upon its release, and in most cases, the news would have ended right there. But real-life events seemed to elevate the record from music history into American history.
    Its release followed by just two weeks a major riot in Harlem, which would be the precursor to a string of long, hot summers in urban, black America. Five days after its release, the bubbling conflagration in Vietnam was ratcheted up a notch after a series of incidents in the Gulf of Tonkin.
    Elsewhere, young activists were being trained that summer to go down into Mississippi to register blacks to vote; three of them – James Chaney, Michael Schwerner and Andrew Goodman – would be found dead weeks after they turned up missing. The Republican Party nominated arch-conservative Barry Goldwater for president, and the Democrats refused to seat the Mississippi Freedom Party at its convention.
    And if all that was not out-of-this-world enough, on the very day “Dancing in the Street” was released, Ranger 7 beamed back pictures from the moon.
    In other words, many of the storylines that made the ’60s ‘The Sixties’ were escalating just as “Dancing in the Street” hit the street. And throughout the next few years, especially when it came to racial confrontations, it came to seem that the record was a ubiquitous, integral element of it all. The record (and it was always the original, never any of the covers) was part rallying cry, part anthem – the one song that captured the tension and exhilaration of the times. But further, an urban legend emerged that it did so on purpose.
