Randy lost consciousness during the accident and was very confused when he arrived in the ER after EMS transport. He is an Iraq war veteran and he seemed to think after the accident that this all happened in Iraq. Dr. Reynolds is concerned that Randy has some residual problems from a couple of explosive incidents that occurred while he was in Iraq. The physician is unsure whether Randy’s current symptoms are from the car accident or from prior injuries so he has referred him for consultations to both a neurologist and to a behavioral health specialist. Based on the above please discuss the following. 1.Pathophysiology of concussive injuries and treatment 2.Neurological assessment tools used in your current practice setting (if not presently working, please describe one used during prior employment or schooling) 3.Current best practices associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 4.Nursing interventions you would include in this patient’s plan of care

At the level of individual organisations, identify an example of cross-border business expansion perhaps by organic growth, by merger and acquisition, joint venture, market entry, or franchise that was/is affected by differences in national culture of the companies involved. Outline the context of the example venture. a) Referring to dimensions of national culture, discuss: What were the cultural challenges for the organisations involved? What were the outcomes? How do models of national culture, such as Hofstedes, help to explain successes or failures in the venture? b) Referring to the Organisational Culture Inventory and what you have learned about organisational culture, discuss: What role do you think was played by corporate culture in the successes or failures of the venture?
Preparation To prepare for this assessment, you will need to think about changes you feel are needed to address a problem either within nursing as a professional field or within the organization where you work. Narrow down your options by considering which change would best be undertaken by an interprofessional team. Some examples for you to consider might include: The use of mobile and portable technology to support patients. Using evidence-based practice (EBP) to improve patient care. Increasing patient safety and quality of care. The use of medical technology such as genes and stem cells, or robots in the OR. Addressing the nursing shortage now and into the future. Improving the work environment (providing calm, supportive spaces for nurses; improved dialog between health care professionals). Better safety for nurses at work (violence, spreading diseases, physical injury). Substance abuse by health care professionals. Or you can narrow the scope to an issue within your own organization: Developing a mobility program for an inpatient unit. Implementing “smart” technology to assist in patient monitoring. Creating a mentoring program to attract and retain nurses. Implementing protocols for infection control and/or treatment of an epidemic. Developing a plan to eliminate physical violence and verbal abuse in the workplace. Other. Once you have selected an issue to address, look for scholarly and professional articles that focus on the problem, the needed change, and how interprofessional teams can work together to drive change. Requirements Lately you have noticed the need for changes within your organization that would advance the field of nursing. You have decided to develop a proposal and submit it to executive leadership. Format this assessment as a professional proposal. You may want to look at how proposals are drafted within your organization and follow that format. You will still need a references page; follow APA guidelines for in-text citations and references. Address the following in your proposal: Briefly describe the problem and how it impacts the organization, patients, and/or the nursing profession. Describe possible evidence-based interventions for the problem. Describe strategies to overcome barriers and resistance to change. Develop a plan to implement evidence-based interventions. What steps would you take? What resources might you need? Identify other health care professionals to enlist as team members to help drive change in the organization. Your completed assessment should be 46 pages in length, not including title page and references page. Support your statements and intervention plan with references to and citations for at least four scholarly or professional resources. Additional Requirements Include a title page and references page. Reference at least four current scholarly or professional resources. Use APA format for citations and references. Use Times New Roman font, 12 point. Double space.

Preparation Use the Capella library and the Internet to research examples of interprofessional team charters, communication strategies and conflict resolution strategies for teams, and methods and technologies used in team communication. Requirements You have been charged with facilitating the launch of an interprofessional team that will work together on a number of challenging cases. The team members will come from several different areas within the organization. The team is expected to have its orientation meeting in two weeks and then work together collaboratively for the next six months. Your first task is to develop recommendations for a team charter that will help the group establish ground rules and decide who will lead the team. You also need to help the team with communication and collaboration strategies. This assessment has two distinct sections: Team Charter Recommendations and Communication and Collaboration Strategies. Provide thorough and detailed recommendations and support your recommendations using examples, references, and citations from your research. For the Team Charter Recommendations: Explain methods to establish ground rules and set expectations. How might differences in personality, expectations, and experience affect team efficiency? Describe conflict resolution strategies for interprofessional teams. Identify effective ways to address issues of team leadership. How will the team decide who will lead them? What happens if the team leader is ineffective? For the Communication and Collaboration Strategies: Describe best practices for effective interprofessional collaboration. What types of technology can be used to support collaboration? Explain the benefits and limitations of different communication strategies such as e-mail, text, voice mail, and face-to-face. When is it appropriate to use each type of communication? This assessment should be 35 pages in length, not including the title page and reference page. Use at least three resources to support your recommendations, and follow APA guidelines for style and format. Additional Requirements Include a title page and reference page.

Overview The final project for this course is a portfolio of new media communications. To develop this portfolio, you will take on the role of a social media expert within an organization. The organization is experiencing a workforce conflict scenario that has global impact. The scenario reflects an ethical issue that stands to impact the organizations brand image and sustained customer loyalty. You will develop a portfolio of new media communication for an audience of global stakeholders and customers. This will include constructing long-form media (one press release, one blog post, and one website article) and short-form media (one each social and professional profile, three tweets, and one additional microblog post). Where appropriate, you will also incorporate SEO strategies to bring stakeholders and customers to content. Focus You are a social media expert for a global coffee retailer (Insomnia Coffee House LLC) that vaunts its ethical supply chain. It has come to light that some of the beans are not being purchased directly from farmers through fair trade as advertised, but through other big coffee suppliers known for their unethical practices. Employees at all levels of the organization are rumored to be culpable, leaving the workforce divided. Now that this scandal has come to light, the organization stands to lose credibility with its customers, employees, and suppliers. In that regard, the image of the company, which is one of social responsibility, is threatened as well. In your role as social media expert, you have been tasked with damage control and the rebuilding of the corporate identity by disseminating accurate, timely, and concise messages to stakeholders and consumer. You will need to communicate that the problem has been recognized by top-level management and also that the appropriate steps are being taken to ensure stoppage of profit loss. You will also create a plan of action that guarantees transparency in the ethical re-establishment of fair-trade policies with suppliers. Additionally, you need to stop the rumors that employees could be subject to immediate and ongoing layoffs that have begun circulating among members of the workforce worldwide. You must also create social media awareness of the immediate and appropriate actions that the company is taking to publicly monitor the supply chain into the future. You will prepare a portfolio of new media communications in response to the scenario outlined above. Prompt 1. In a Word document, create a list of SEO keywords that you will use as metatags and that you will reinforce in the copy of your blog post and website article. In a short paragraph, analyze how well these reflect the message that you are disseminating, as described in your Milestone One paper. 2. In a single Word document, create the following: a. A blog post b. A website article Use headings to format the content and improve readability. Make sure that your writing reflects your metatags and reinforces SEO.
Discussion: Creating a Culture of Evidence-Based Practice An abundance of evidence can be found on almost any medical issue or health topic. Often, the availability of information is not the concern, but rather nurses struggle with how to convey the evidence to others and change practices to better reflect the evidence. Deep-rooted organizational cultures and policies can make some resistant to change, even to changes that can vastly improve the quality, effectiveness, and efficiency of health care. However, there are many strategies that nurses can employ to bring about changes to practice. In this Discussion, you focus on how to create an organizational culture that supports evidence-based practice. To prepare: Review the information in this weeks Learning Resources. Examine the various suggestions for promoting an organizational culture that embraces the use of EBP. Reflect on your own organizations (or one in which you have worked) support of evidence-based practice. Examine how culture and policies impact the adoption of changes to practice based on evidence. What barriers exist? Consider the models and suggestions for promoting evidence-based practice featured in this weeks Learning Resources. Identify models and suggestions that would work well in your organization. Reflect on the significance of evidence-based practice in health care. What responsibility do nurses have to promote EBP and change practices to better reflect evidence and research findings? Reflect on how nurses can disseminate findings from evidence-based practice research. By Day 3 Post an evaluation of your organizations use of EBP and how it is furthered or hindered by organizational culture and policies. Describe how you could disseminate the findings. Propose a strategy for strengthening the culture of EBP within the organization. Discuss a nurses responsibility to further the use of EBP, providing a rationale supported by specific information from the Learning Resources. Week 11: Translating Evidence Into Practic Have you ever had an idea about a streamlined process or new method for doing things? Unfortunately, such ideas often fail to be implemented because of mild interest, lack of resources, and force of habit. This is also the reality of evidence-based practice. Nurses who immerse themselves in scholarly literature, research, and clinical discourse may have many ideas about how to improve practices in their health care settings. However, this only fulfills the evidence component of evidence-based practice (EBP). Applying the evidence and translating it into nursing practice is often the most difficult part of the process. This week, you consider how you can take evidence and turn it into practice, focusing on how to develop a culture of EBP. Finally, you anticipate barriers that you might encounter in the change process.
