Choose one of the following questions to answer for this week’s discussion board. Make sure to repost the question you selected at the top of your posting.

  1. How do you typically respond to change? Do you embrace it? Seek it out? Accept it reluctantly? Avoid it at all cost? Is this behavior like that of your friends and that of your family? Has your behavior always fit this pattern, or has the pattern changed throughout your life? If so, what life events have altered how you view and respond to change?
  2. Try to remember a situation in your own life that involved unnecessary change. Why do you think that the change was unnecessary? What types of turmoil did it cause? Were there things a change agent could have done that would have increased unfreezing in this situation?

PLEASE RESPOND TO THE FOLLOWING IN 50 WORDS OR MORE:

The Nursing Legislation and Advocacy page on the FNA website identifies 4-different ways for you to get involved with advocacy.  Discuss which way(s) you would most likely get involved with and why?

One of the four different ways to get involved with advocacy that I would get involved in according to the FNA website would be joining the Barbara Lumpkin Institute to have public policy education readily available to improve the healthcare system. By joining this group, I would be given the opportunity to annual symposium and provide financial support to nurses who are involved in healthcare policy (FNA). I love to enjoy researching different topics and interviewing my colleagues on how we can improve to be as safe as possible. I would emphasize the importance of patient-to-nurse ratios and how to manage the nursing shortage starting with staff burnout. There needs to be more support for bedside nursing as it seems like the rate of people going this route is less and less. 

Find and peruse the Barbara Lumpkin Toolkit (BLT).  What are your thoughts about the information provided in the toolkit and what did you learn that you didn’t know before?

I think that the Barbra Lumkin Toolkit (BLT) is an excellent tool to use for anyone looking to promote advocacy in the healthcare setting.  Advocacy is such an important part of nursing not only for our patients but for ourselves as nurses as well. I especially liked learning about the “Ten Commandments for successful living with your legislator”. Something that I didn’t know before is that anyone can call or write to the legislators regarding their reason for change or alteration to current bills. I think that it is so important that nurses get their voices heard and share their opinions with the people who are involved with making changes to the healthcare system.

Initial Post Instructions

The Discussions in this course are set up deepen your understanding of the material as you make real world connections and employ creative thinking. To get the most from these discussions, full engagement is expected on the part of the student. Be sure to stop by the discussion section frequently, not only to post, but to read the postings of your peers and instructor. Engaging with your peers and learning together is key to this experience. For you initial post, choose one of the options below:

Option 1:

A growing concern in agricultural and food chemistry is the presence of residues in food. We use many forms of organic chemicals in agriculture and food chemistry and there is growing concern as to how safe these materials are. Choose an organic chemical used in agricultural of food chemistry and report on the functional groups contained in your compound, the uses of the compound, and the safety of that compound. This research will require one or more

Option 2:

Choose a compound that is classified as an ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, or alcohol, or amide. Report on important applications of this compound using at least one outside source. Next, write the condensed structural formula of a simple molecule with an ether, aldehyde, ketone, ester, or alcohol functional group for your peers to name (do not give away the answer!).

CLARIFYING CONNECTIONS: PRACTICE PROBLEM, EVIDENCE, CHANGING PRACTICE

/in /by

To prepare:

  • Review the Module 4 Learning Resources with guidance for analyzing and synthesizing evidence from your literature review.
  • Complete your analysis of outcomes and synthesis of evidence to inform a practice change.
  • Consider the linkage between your practice problem, evidence to address it, and the need for a practice change initiative.
  • Assess the strength of this linkage and how to present it to colleagues.

With these thoughts in mind …

Post an explanation of the results of your literature review and the connection to your practice problem. Then, explain your synthesis of evidence on which to base a practice change, and the need for a practice change initiative. Be specific and provide examples. PLEASE INCLUDE AT LEAST 3 REFERENCES
