ASSIGNMENT: Ecomap
PURPOSE: The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with the opportunity to
recognize the importance of resources and supports in families’ lives. By completing their own
ecomap the student is using an ecosystem perspective to better understand the nature of a
family’s relationships to their environment. The ecomap is a visual tool designed to organize and
clarify information about the transactional relationships between the individual/family and their
environment at a specific point in time DESCRIPTION: An ecomap is a diagram which highlights an individual or family’s
relationship to their environment. Completing the ecomap can help the student to identify
strengths, needs, and boundary issues. Completion of this assignment includes a written analysis
of the transactional relationships between the individual/family and their environment. Special
attention should be given to the following: 1) Social supports (family, friends, religious
organizations, support groups, neighbors, etc.), 2) Community resources (housing assistance,
daycare, financial assistance, health and dental care, mental health and substance abuse services,
legal assistance, transportation, employment opportunities, nutrition, etc.), 3) Stressors (legal
difficulties, family dynamics, financial problems, health issues, housing instability, daycare
access, transportation, domestic issues, employment obstacles, substance use, pregnancy,
parenting, discrimination. REQUIREMENTS: One: Decide who resides in your home and the different entities
with which you interact in your environment. Two: Create your ecomap. There are also many templates that can
be found on the internet that provide assistance in developing the
ecomap. You may also hand draw your ecomap if you choose.
You may want to watch which shows
you how to draw an ecomap. Read and study the Ecological Model
Systems section in Chapter 1 in your textbook and carefully study
Fig. 1-1 in your textbook. Then complete an eco-map for yourself.
Three:Write a reflection paper (1 to 2 pages) analyzing your
ecomap and discussing patterns you see. Identify how the 1) Social
supports (family, friends, religious organizations, support groups,
neighbors, etc.), 2) Community resources (housing assistance,
daycare, financial assistance, health and dental care, mental health
and substance abuse services, legal assistance, transportation,
employment opportunities, nutrition, etc.), and 3) Stressors (legal
difficulties, family dynamics, financial problems, health issues,
housing instability, daycare access, transportation, domestic issues,
employment obstacles, substance use, pregnancy, parenting, discrimination) are impacting your family. What could be added to
your map as a resource? What could be done to lessen the stress
placed on your family by outside resources? Where do you see
strengths? Where do you see challenges or areas needing additional
support? What value do you see in using ecomaps with families

Multifactorial Medication Mishap Case Study:
The Case A previously healthy 50-year-old man was hospitalized while recovering from an uncomplicated spine surgery. Although he remained in moderate pain, clinicians planned to transition him from intravenous to oral opioids prior to discharge. The patient experienced nausea with pills but told the bedside nurse he had taken liquid opioids in the past without difficulty. The nurse informed the physician that the patient was having significant pain and liquid opioids had been effective in the past. When the physician searched for liquid oxycodone in the computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) system, multiple options appeared on the list — two formulations for tablets and two for liquid (the standard 5 mg per 5 mL concentration and a more concentrated 20 mg per mL formulation).
At this hospital, the CPOE system listed each choice twice, one entry with the generic name and one entry with a brand name. In all, the physician saw eight different choices for oxycodone products. The physician chose the concentrated oxycodone liquid product and ordered a 5-mg dose. All medication orders at the hospital had to be verified by a pharmacist. The pharmacist reviewing this order recognized that the higher concentration was atypical for inpatients but assumed it was chosen to limit the volume of fluid given to the patient. The pharmacist verified the order and, to minimize the risk of error, added a comment to both the electronic medication administration record (eMAR) and the patient-specific label that the volume to be given was 0.25 mL (5 mg). For added safety, the pharmacist personally retrieved, labeled, and delivered the drug and a calibrated syringe to the bedside nurse to clarify that this was a high concentration formulation for which the volume to administer was 0.25 mL (a smaller volume than would typically be delivered).
Shortly thereafter, the nurse went to the bedside to administer the drug to the patient for his ongoing pain. She gave the patient 2.5 mL (50 mg) of liquid oxycodone, a volume that she was more used to giving, and then left for her break. A covering nurse checked on the patient and found him unconscious — a code blue was called. The patient was given naloxone (an agent that reverses the effect of opioids), and he responded well. He was transferred to the intensive care unit for ongoing monitoring and a continuous infusion of naloxone to block the effect of the oxycodone. By the following morning, the patient had returned to his baseline with no apparent adverse effects.
Write a 525 word-summary in which you:

Vision and Organizational Success
Introduction:
Redman (2019) states that the world is changing quickly, change is hard, and many change efforts fail. A leader must have a good plan in place to navigate through these changes to stay successful. Now you will apply that knowledge to a company scenario, building an implementation plan into the process so it is actionable. Select one business from the current winners of the Malcolm Baldrige Award Recipients. Assume that you are the new CEO of this business who has goals of expanding your business. You can select one or more from the following list, or develop your own goals:

Expand nationally or internationally
Change your business offering(s) or target customers
Merger or acquisition
Another goal of your choice

Section 1- Overview and Goal Description

Select the company that you will use for this paper. Provide an explanation and rationale for your choice. As there are many categories in the Baldrige site, you may want to explore an industry you know well or look to expand your knowledge by selecting an industry you are unfamiliar with for increased learning and knowledge building.
Describe the vision, mission, and values as individual components in the current state of the company. Explain the systems relationship of these elements and how they are related to helping the company achieve success.
Provide any additional background information to provide additional context.
As the new CEO, identify the growth goal(s) that you would like to achieve including a rationale for this choice(s).

Section 2- Vision Integration into Current State

Describe the current vision of the company. You may reuse the content from Section 1.

In your readings, you saw how a personal vision statement can be a foundation for creating a business venture and/or incorporation into the current vision of a company that you will be leading. For this section, you will present a plan for how you would integrate your vision into what currently exists for the company that you have selected for analysis. Support your thoughts with at least two sources from the unit readings, as well as two other sources you discover in your research. For this section, you may use sources that are not considered scholarly as your additional sources.

Include in this section:

Your personal vision and the process that you used to create your personal vision.
A draft of your revised vision, incorporating your vision into the current company vision.
The process you will use to involve all stakeholders in the new vision creation based on your draft. You may use both descriptive and graphic representation tools (i.e., flow chart) to present this process. If using a drawing tool, please include a link to your illustration, or attach a file to your post. (If you are unsure how to attach a link or file to your post, contact the help desk.)

The measurement process you will use to determine the effectiveness of your new vision on organizational success.

1. Find one or two direct quotes from your article sources that you would like to or have used in Essay #2.  Then, incorporate this direct quote(s) into a body paragraph. You may copy/paste if your paragraph incorporates this source well. Please cite your source as a works cited entry + remember to use in-text citations and proper attributions. (5 pts)
2. Respond to the student post  above your own. Using your peer’s original quote, write a new paragraph  that uses a different form of source incorporation (for example, you could paraphrase or summarize–but not quote–from my post). (2.5 pts)
An example initial  post using a direct quote:

Original Quote Used:
“Blended learning materials allow students to learn foundational concepts at their own pace—they can speed up or slow down the video, try practice questions multiple times, or go back to review concepts they may have missed (Using Digital Resources para. 4).”
Incorporated direct quote into a paragraph:  
As online learning threatens to overtake traditional course formats, university lecturers are now pressured with the task of transforming digital material and resources into meaningful online interactions–even in a face-to-face class. This shift may seem unnecessary for the traditional learning, however, lecturers have found more students benefit when digital resources and material in a learning management system are used in tandem with traditional in-class activities and lecture. When interviewed for Harvard’s weekly instructor e-resource communication,  Into Practice, Theodore Svoronos, a lecturer at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, stated that “blended learning materials allow students to learn foundational concepts at their own pace” (para. 4), which means that lecturers can be more inclusive by accommodating students who struggle to take notes in lecture or fully comprehend an in-class activity without compromising the time constraints and relationship-fostering that is also crucial in face-to-face classrooms. 
An example response post: 
Incorporated paraphrase: 
Not all students who take a face-to-face course learn in the same way. Often, instructors choose to exclusively lecture, which can be beneficial for a small number of students, but ignores greater student needs and valuable resources that are traditionally used in an online course. However, most students find that they are more likely to engage (despite their level of competency) when the material is presented differently–when they are asked to engage with material in an online learning system or complete low-stakes practice assignments online (Using Digital Resources para. 4). By juxtaposing digital materials with lecture, the instructor is able to shift learning responsibility back to the student.
