To prepare:

 

•Consider the examples of leadership demonstrated in this week’s media presentation and the other Learning Resources.

 

•To further your self-knowledge, you are required to complete the Kiersey Temperament as indicated in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider your leadership style, including your strengths for leading others and include your results from Kiersey Temperament Sorter to describe potential challenges related to your leadership style.

 

•Mentally survey your work environment, or one with which you are familiar, and identify a timely issue/dilemma that requires you to perform the leadership role of moral agent or advocate to improve a situation (e.g., speaking or acting on behalf of a vulnerable patient, the need for appropriate staffing, a colleague being treated unfairly).

 

•What ethical, moral, or legal skills, dispositions, and/or strategies would help you resolve this dilemma? Define the differences between ethical, moral, and legal leadership.

 

•Finally, consider the values and principles that guide the nursing profession; the organization’s mission, vision, and values; the leadership and management competencies addressed in this course; and your own values and reasons for entering the profession. What motivation do you see for taking a stand on an important issue even when it is difficult to do so?

 

 

 

To complete: USE ALL THE 4 RESOURCES INCLUDING THE MEDIA AS REFERENCES FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT

•Introduce the conceptual frameworks of the ethical constructs of ethics, moral, or legal standards and the purpose of the paper.

 

•Consider  an ethical, moral, or legal dilemma that you have encountered in your work environment and describe it.

Compare Qualitative and Quantitative Research Designs

This week, refer to the material in the readings to develop a comparison in the basic structures of qualitative and quantitative approaches. Using the facets described in the first few chapters of Litchman (2013), identify the specific parts of qualitative research studies and how each part is completed. Once this is completed, compare and contrast this material with quantitative constructs. Consider the overall outcome of both types, and then explain why each is used in order to begin describing why you might want to use qualitative research. This work goes toward the development of the purpose statement you will use in the concept paper in Week 8.

Length: 5-7 pages

Resources: 3-5 resources

Please make sure the references are within the past 5 years.

PMU means Prince Mohammed University.

As pointed out in class, submit your first draft only. Again, no one can produce a flawless first draft. If you hand in a first draft that contains absolutely no mistakes, it will NOT count.

In addition to the rubric which was handed out in class, keep the following in mind:

1. Write an INTERESTING introduction. The introduction of an argument essay should interest the reader in the issue and suggest why the issue is important. Write both the hook and the thesis statement in bold.

2. The thesis statement should identify the issue and YOUR position on it. It may also suggest the primary reasons for accepting the position.

3. Each of your body paragraphs must begin with a topic sentence, each of which must relate back to the argument of the thesis as well as concisely summarize the main idea of the paragraph (it can even have key words from the thesis). Underline each topic sentence and circle the key words in the topic sentence that connect back to the thesis statement.

4. Provide convincing reasons to support your point and sufficient support for them.

5. The two primary types of support are reasons and evidence. Evidence inlcudes facts and statistics, quotations from authorities, examples and personal experience. Research is sometimes necessary to locate sufficient evidence to support your position. All evidence must be italicized.

6. Be sure to include an opposing viewpoint (also known as counterargument) and refutation, both of which must be included in your in the LAST body paragraph. An opposing viewpoint is the position that is opposite of the one you took. It is effective to recognize opposing viewpoints because it builds your credibility and it shows that you are open minded. As for refutation, think of it as a process of finding weaknesses in the oponent’s argument.Highlight both the counterargument and refutation in different colors.

7. End your essay by drawing your discussion together neatly. Remember to restate the thesis, summarize the main points, and include a final thought.
8. Compare the introduction and conclusion paragraphs. There must be a logical connection between the two.
