Key Concepts of Leadership in the Military

 

Formatting directions are listed at the end of the assignment. I want to emphasize, that I want the body of the paper broken up into sections. I want you to use section headings. I recommend you title the sections based on the six sections of the assignment.

Write the paper in third person. Yes, it asks for your opinion. However, business papers and formal assignments are always written in third person. I know this is challenging. With practice, writing in third person becomes second nature.

Support your ideas with literature. Do research in the library. Avoid web based research. I want scholarly sources used.

Make sure you review the rubric. I will be following the rubric while I grade your paper. If you address all the points of the rubric, you will do fine.

The assignment is listed below.

Please respond to each post in a polite way.

1) Shaping our roles as NPs: Cost and transition of NPs to inpatient care settings
– Read by: 3Mark as ReadReply to This MessageReply

As discussed by Kapu, Klienpell, and Pilon, there is currently an optimal milieu for nurse practitioners to be not only be a part of an inpatient healthcare team, but to improve outcomes as well (2014). A force that will shape my role in the emerging healthcare environment is the increase in education and training in nurse practitioners towards the inpatient setting, and the transition away from nurse practitioners predominantly in primary care). The push towards decreasing healthcare costs has greatly led this charge towards this transition, as the value of healthcare is quantified by many in terms of revenue generation and cost-effectiveness of care; nurse practitioners having the ability to bill patients, and their salaries are less expensive than physician providers, meeting both of these targets . As a nurse practitioner student with ICU background and an affinity for the inpatient setting, this shift is exciting and allows for greater opportunity to in the future expand upon my training and be a part of the inpatient care team. To delve deeper into this topic, healthcare in general is changing due to the great drive to decrease all healthcare costs (Kapu et. al, 2014). As nurse practitioners, whether we would like to work in the in or outpatient setting, cost reduction and revenue generation are going to be major topics now and in the future that will mold the new face of healthcare.

2-I know that these first few classes are our introduction to the world of advanced practice nursing and that we are all headed in different directions. I cannot help but look at this question from the perspective of information and the changes that have come about with the implementation of the electronic health record (EHR).

As a member of the Informatics cohort I part of a force that will affect every one of us. There are not many of us now that are not using computers and data daily to do our jobs. Computers and data have become a more part of our practice, whatever that might be: “Teich estimates that 80 percent of healthcare providers are in an EHR environment now compared to five years ago, which has facilitated the need for informaticists.” (Andrews, 2013)

As an informaticist, it will be my job to make sure that the advanced practice nurse is ready for the educated patient. It will be my job that information flows from one source to another in real-time.

All of us are going to have a new role and I feel that if I understand how MY role affects yours, we will be able to move forward. According to Andrews (2013), the beginning of informatics and the role of the informaticist is going to touch every part of healthcare-it will be “…a tool that when properly implemented can increase options for treatments, reduce risks, improve processes, help with financial management, and ultimately improve patient care.” .

This is an exciting time to part of a new way of “doing” healthcare!!

You are asked to ‘evaluate the usefulness of the Strange Situation procedure to our understanding of attachment.

 
Paper requirements *
specify your details here
You are asked to ‘evaluate the usefulness of the Strange Situation procedure to our understanding of attachment.

The main difference between the type of essay which you will be writing for this assignment and that which you wrote for TMA 02 lies in what is expected of you. The essay for TMA 02 required you to outline the similarities and differences between two studies. This time you are expected to begin to engage in the more advanced activity of ‘evaluation’. The ability to evaluate material is an important skill, both in academic study and in many occupations. This part of the assignment gives you an opportunity to develop this skill.

Before you start work on your essay, you need to make sure you understand exactly what the question requires. This means identifying and understanding the process and content words.

Process and content words

In this question there is one process word: ‘evaluate’. It is this process word that directs you to more than just describing something. Evaluation involves constructing an argument about the importance and/or implications of the points being made. Further, evaluation requires you to consider arguments both for and against a certain question/claim; for example, in this case, whether the Strange Situation procedure is useful for understanding attachment. As with all academic writing, your points should be supported with evidence and referenced appropriately.

The content words are ‘the usefulness of the Strange Situation procedure for understanding attachment’. This means that the essay has a very specific focus on the work of Mary Ainsworth, which you came across in Chapter 5 of Investigating Psychology, as well as some of the more recent research on animals, which is discussed in Chapter 5 of Investigating Methods.

Relevant material

You will find relevant material in Chapter 5 of Investigating Psychology and Chapter 5 of Investigating Methods. There is a great deal of potentially useful information in these chapters, so you will need to be selective about which points you want to focus on.

Chapter 5 of Investigating Psychology: Section 4.2 introduces the Strange Situation procedure and discusses its development in the early 1970s. Section 4.3 is likely to be especially important, as it contains an evaluation of the use of attachment categories, while Section 4.4 introduces some recent work on attachment in animals. In evaluating the Strange Situation procedure, you may also want to draw on some of the points raised in Section 5 of this chapter, where the notion of flexibility of attachment is discussed.

Chapter 5 of Investigating Methods: Section 3 of this chapter introduces a study by Prato-Previde et al. (2003) which adapted the Strange Situation procedure to examine the relationship between dogs and their owners. As such, this material builds on some of the points raised in Chapter 5, Section 4.4 of Investigating Psychology. Because the focus of Section 3 is on the method (namely coding in observational research) not all of it will be relevant, but you may want to consider Sections 3.1 and 3.5. Also Section 4 provides an alternative way of studying attachment which you might find useful when evaluating the Strange Situation procedure.

You may also find the audio Mary Ainsworth from Week 15 useful as well as the video demonstration of the Strange Situation procedure, which you watched in the same week.

The content words specify that the focus is on the Strange Situation procedure and its usefulness for understanding attachment. However, in showing how or why the Strange Situation procedure is, or is not, useful for understanding attachment, you will probably need to draw on other studies described in Chapter 5 of Investigating Psychology and Chapter 5 of Investigating Methods. However, when mentioning any specific study, avoid lengthy descriptions which will not be directly relevant to the focus of this essay. Rather, you should use any additional material as a way of providing evidence in support of your evaluation of the Strange Situation procedure.

There is a lot of information which you could include, so you will need to be selective in what you choose to include. You cannot cover all of the possible points and you are not expected to. Therefore keep the precise wording of the essay question in mind and focus on selecting those points you consider to be most important and for which you can provide evidence to support your argument.

Below you will find tips for writing your essay, but before you start working on this part of the assignment, you should make sure that you have completed these online activities:

Online Activity 13.2: Constructing an argument. This activity deals with how to present material in an assignment in a logical and coherent way, so that it addresses the question. This is especially important when writing an essay that focuses on evaluation.
Online Activity 18.2: Preparing for TMA 03 (Part 1) takes you through the process of gathering, selecting and evaluating evidence.
Before you begin to plan this essay, it would be good to review the feedback you received from your tutor for your TMA 02 essay, to see if there is any advice about the essay structure/content etc. that you could apply to this essay.
