ASSIGNMENT OVERVIEW
As a nurse leader, you will be called upon to collect and analyze data, then to use the data to drive change.
For this assignment, you will be presented with two sets of data. Both sets are representative of the occurrence of pressure ulcers in long-stay nursing home patients.
One set of data (NHQDR) represents national data as compared to the state of Georgia.
The second data set (Medicare.gov) is specific for the nursing home in Georgia where you are the supervisor. View and interpret the data specific to pressure injury rates.

Part 1: Interpret the Data:
Using the data provided to you, answer the following questions. Record your answers on a Word document. 
As the supervisor of this nursing home, how do you interpret this data? What is it telling you? Give specific examples in your comparison of the data sets.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the data? Give at least one example of each.
“Any stage 3, stage 4, or unstageable pressure ulcers acquired after admission/presentation to a health care setting” (National Quality Forum, 2016) is considered a ‘Never Event’. What is a ‘Never Event’? What does that mean to your facility? (https://psnet.ahrq.gov/primer/never-events#:~:text=The%20term%20%22Never%20Event%22%20was,surgery%E2%80%94that%20should%20never%20occurLinks to an external site..)
Part 2: Create an In-Service:
As the nursing home supervisor, you recognize the need for a process improvement plan based on this data. After speaking to your staff about best practices related to care of the immobilized client, you discover your facility has not been stocking skin barrier cream, and the UAPs have not been repositioning the residents per policy. Instead of taking disciplinary action against the staff at this time, you elect to implement an intensive education effort for the entire facility. RNs, LPNs, and UAPs will attend the same training. 
Research and devise a comprehensive education plan to address the frequency of pressure injuries at your facility. The teaching plan should include, at a minimum:
The proper use of barrier cream (How and when is it applied? Who can apply it?) 
A minimum of 6 specific complications of immobility (Do not list ‘respiratory complications’. Be specific).
A minimum of 6 interventions to prevent the complications
Proper ergonomics while moving or repositioning clients
A plan to follow-up with your staff to assess the effectiveness of your in-service should also be included. How will you know your interventions were effective? What will you do if you find they were not?
Submission Guidelines:
Submit Parts 1 and 2 at the same time as part of the same project.
Give credit to your sources using APA 7th edition format.
Use both in-text citations and a reference page.

Choose an epidemiology graph of a chronic disease of your choice in a developing country from a peer reviewed resource.
Explain in one (1) paragraph why you chose that graph. A paragraph is minimum of three sentences. 
Describe in one (1) paragraph what the graph is illustrating.
Last paragraph should explain how the data from that graph may forecast the future of that disease and country.
Be sure to include the graph in your document on a separate page.
This assignment should be a minimum of 2 pages, one page with the written information (See items 2,3 and 4). The other page should include the graph with reference to where the graph was obtained from. https://guides.himmelfarb.gwu.edu/APA/image-electronicLinks to an external site.

You have spent six weeks exploring theories of nursing. These represent the “how” of what we do as nurses. This week we enter a higher level of thought and explore the “why” of what we do. Present a personal nursing philosophy. Apply what you have read throughout the course and explore the literature on nursing philosophy. While Fawcett was not a nursing theorist, she is a nursing philosopher and her Metaparadigm of Nursing approaches philosophy over theory. Once you have discussed your philosophy, identify a theoretical framework (not the middle-range theories but the underlying assumptions in that framework) that fits your philosophy. Compare and contrast your philosophy and the chosen framework.  Describe a possible situation in which the framework may conflict or not fit your philosophy. While it is an important skill to be able to match a theory with a situation, it is also critical to understand when a theory or framework does not fit a situation.

Change in an Organization
This chapter involves change and the response to change in an organization. If you feel uncomfortable already you probably are in the majority. Let’s read the scenario below and try to understand why change is so difficult. 
Scenario: Imagine the days before COVID when we were all in a classroom. Do you remember back then? Well, think about where you decided to sit in a classroom. Did you find that you usually chose the same seat in most of the classrooms that you were in? If not, then what usually made you choose the seat that you decided to sit in? Now if you were to sit in a seat in the first class, how likely were you to sit in the same seat after that? Have I made a point? So change is hard, and we all have gone through some kind of change, small or large, in our lives at school, at our workplace, and at home.
Instructions:
Read the information above and then answer the following questions:
Describe what the circumstances were at your workplace when you had to change something
How did you adjust to the change?
Were there colleagues that could not adjust to the change?
Why do you think, in terms of change theory, that there were colleagues that could not adjust?
Your paper should be:
