solved Question:Imagine that you lead an organization and have just received
/in /by adminQuestion:Imagine that you lead an organization and have just received notice that the organization is the named defendant in a lawsuit. Your legal counsel is on contract and it costs you $1000 just to get them on the telephone, and the organization’s finances are relatively tight.Using the concepts from Chapter 3 in the textbook, identify and explain your reasoning behind the 5 or 6 most-important things you would want to know about the complaint, the plaintiff, or your organization’s relationship with the plaintiff, before you make the call to your attorney.My response: To effectively prepare for the case, The complaints must be throughly read through. The complaint is the document that the judge will have. It will influence the direction that the persecution will take. Understanding the items in the document will give an idea of what is being held against the organization and can be essential in forming the basis of my defense. Getting the background information may be vital in determining whether the case can be solved by negotiation. Negotiation can either be done between the parties or through some intermediaries such as advocates. Solving issues by negotiation can allow the parties to save time and money and come to a solution that favors all the parties. Getting the background information will also inform us about the evidence we have and how it can be used to support our claim. The information will allow us to understand our witnesses and the number of documents we may need to win the case. It will also allow us to prepare psychologically and fetch all associated records. Understanding the organization’s relationship with the plaintiff can enable us to understand where the issue arose from and what can be done to prevent similar issues from happening in the future.RESPOND IN DETAIL AND DO NOT SOUND REPETITIVE. ALSO ENGAGE BY ASKING QUESTIONS related to the chapter. 150 words per discussion response Za response #1If I were the leader of an organization that was named a defendant in a lawsuit, I would definitely want to know a few things prior to speaking with an attorney. One thing would be the jurisdiction because there are many levels to the system. If the defendant is not a resident, this could cause constitutional problems regarding the Fourteenth Amendment. The pleadings are also important to look over since these are the initial documents that are filed when beginning a lawsuit. It is also important to know whether there may be the option of removal to allow the defendant to make the case a federal case rather than state. With this, one should also be aware of the different rules that each court have based on the level the case is being tried. Each of these things are important to know before speaking with an attorney so that you can put your best foot forward in the attempt to get the best result for the organization. It is always best to come prepared in any situation like this one.Ma response #2 If I had become involved in a lawsuit within my organization I would try my best to gather as much information as I could before contacting the lawyer because they are pricey and I want to make sure I have some background knowledge to give. I would like to know what the grounds for the suit are and who is involved. Then, I want to ensure the complaint is within the statute, if not the case could be dismissed. I want to know what type of case this is going to be, is it criminal, property, personal injury, workmans comp, this way I can ensure that we have the correct lawyer for the job and do not waste our time contacting someone who is not fit for the case. Finding out where the plaintiff has filed the case, to understand where the jurisdiction for the case lies. This will determine what court has the power to hear and decide the case. It will be important to note if it was filed in a state or federally. I would want to be aware of what discoveries had been made, in other words be aware of what evidence may exist so I can inform my attorney. After a considerable discovery it may come to light that there are triable issues of law or fact for the court to consider and may file a motion with the court for a summary judgement. Lastly Is there a way to possibly privately negotiate the case and avoid going to trial. It could take a long time to go to trial, and be costly for both parties involved. Maybe my organization may be in a position to privately settle this which could be a better route to explore.Step response #3 Where a case is held will be a large factor in determining the outcome. In a case such as the one described jurisdiction is likely to be a large factor along with the fact that the lawsuit is for $1,000. “Since the amount is equivalent to $1,000 it can be tried in the local county court†(Mayer, 2012). One of the first things that I would need to know is what jurisdiction will be handling the case. This is also important because it will serve as the basis for jury selection. I would also want to know the statute of limitations for such a suit. Many times, at least from the legal action I have been exposed to, a settlement can sometimes be reached. I would want to consult with my attorney to see if that would be a possibility to keep it from going to trial and adding extra costs. As mentioned, this company is on a tight budget and extra litigation costs may not be worth the dispute. If there is evidence that I have regarding the relationship I would present that. This may include if the person was a former employee or if they had a history of causing trouble at the firm. The way that I relate this to my professional life is through Workman’s Compensation claims. It is not always that claims are denied but when that happens employees will try to sue for lost wages. In situations such as these the judge who is presiding over the case may also be an important discussion topic, as all judges are different. If we are able to keep such things out of court, we usually will settle. This helps to save both time and money, but as mentioned in the case court fees can be very costly. This cost can also be absorbed if someone counter-sues. Sometimes the other parties’ court fees can be put on the person who was originally suing due to misinformation presented. It doesn’t happen often but it certainly could happen.Lisa response #4 Before calling an attorney, I would want to know the five following items. First, who is the plaintiff, and do they have a relationship with the organization? Is there a connection that can be examined further, or is this lawsuit for an unknown reason? Determining the legitimacy of the relationship helps to verify if the suit is worth taking seriously. If the plaintiff has a relationship with the organization, I would know that the complaint could be genuine.Second, I would do some research and determine what the state statute of limitations is for the complaint. If the statute of limitations has passed, I will ignore the complaint, and no further investigation would be necessary. If the statute of limitations hadn’t passed, I would proceed.Third, I would want to know what the cause of the complaint and summons is. I will need to determine if the reason makes sense for the organization. In this example, it is not provided what the type of organization is, but I would need to make sure the complaint could be possible for the organization. For example, if I were a flooring retailer and installer, and someone was suing me for improper install of countertops that voided a warranty, the complaint wouldn’t make sense. However, if the plaintiff were suing me for poor installation, billing issues, etc., related to flooring, then I would know that the complaint is legitimate for my organization.Fourth, I would discuss with any applicable team members pertinent information around the plaintiff to better understand if the organization has a responsibility to their complaint or not. Did the reason they are suing happen? Or is there an issue that we were aware of and didn’t communicate? Knowing the exact level of responsibility that the organization has will determine if we believe the organization is responsible. For example, back to the flooring retailer and installer, if the plaintiff was suing because a carpet we installed was not “performing†as it should or was not living up to the warranty, and the installers did the install correctly, the issue is with the carpet manufacturer, and not the installer. If we know that we installed the correct product and did the installation correctly, we can determine that the problem exists with the product.Finally, if the organization is responsible and does have a legal obligation to the plaintiff, I would want to know if we could use arbitration instead of litigation to settle the issue. If the plaintiff is willing to work through other means to reach a reasonable settlement for the complaint outside of the court system, the matter could be handled for less cost and through a speedier process.In summary, I would want to know the following information: the relationship between the plaintiff and the organization, the status of the statute of limitations for the complaint, the cause of the complaint, the responsibility to the plaintiff, and if the issue can be settled via arbitration before calling an attorney.Mayer, D., Warner, D., Seidel, G., & Lieberman, J.

Why or why not?Preparations for bioterrorism are on a higher level, and the World Health Organization has designated two centers meant for planning and responding to the anthrax attack. Since 2001, the World Health Organization has been on high alert of combating anthrax if it gets outbreak and the is a center in the United States and Russia. There is already a smallpox response plan which dictates what should be done in case there is a smallpox outbreak in the world (Grundmann, 2014). There are mitigations set in place, and if such an outbreak occurs, the countries are already prepared to deal with such an outbreak.There are already prepared protective gear and respirators against biological agents which might be used to cause diseases. There is the consideration for anthrax vaccine and vaccine for other conditions that might be on the outbreak (Aschenbrenner, 2018). There are public health response guides that stipulate how public health should be handled in an epidemic. There is also guidance for protective buildings and environments that should hide places for people in case of a disease outbreak. Center for Disease Control also has guidelines on the funding of local governments and states if there is an outbreak, and there are protocols well stipulated on what should be done. In the light of the above, one can conclusively say that we have taken the right approach to prepare for bioterrorism. Bioterrorism is an act of war that produces virus-causing diseases in the laboratory and can be used to attack a country by releasing those viruses to the people. They cause diseases, some of which are incurable. Countries have developed measures to take in case of an outbreak, and they are prepared in terms of personnel and medical equipment. There are secure communication channels between the CDC and the local governments and states. These communication channels are crucial, and in case of an attack, information flows smoothly among the countries, and proper stoppage measures are taken. These and more measures have been put in place, and therefore it is my take that there have been the proper preparations for bioterrorism put in place.PedroReferencesAschenbrenner, D.

Information for Public Health Departments and Healthcare Facilities. Retrieved from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Bioterrorism Response Planning: https://www.cdc.gov/smallpox/bioterrorism-response…RESPONSE 1:Professor and Classmates, I remember the October 2001 anthrax attacks quite well. In 2001, I was a 21-year-old Airman, stationed at Ramstein Air Base Germany, and my job at the time was a Military Postal Specialist at the Department of Defense’s largest overseas post office, servicing 40,000 customers daily. Within a day of the events that were unfolding at the Brentwood postal processing facility, we were told to sort through our mail to see if we had anything postmarked from the Brentwood facility. Sure enough, we had some mail that had been processed through Brentwood, and so a handful of Airmen, including myself, were tested for Anthrax. Both the mail and those that touched it wound up being negative for exposure to anthrax. Nevertheless, it was very stressful time for me, between the September 11th attacks, and the anthrax scare. Advancements in scientific research have enabled us to determine the genetic origin of an anthrax spore. In the case of the 2001 attack, scientists were eventually able to determine the spores came from a very specific batch, known as RMR-1029 (History of Anthrax, 2020). Eventually, the spores were linked back to a Dr. Bruce Ivins who took his life before he could be brought to justice in 2008 (Amerithrax or Anthrax Investigation, 2021). This leads me to believe that if this were to happen again, scientists would be able to determine the origin of the spores once again. The United States produces the vaccine Biothrax, which is produced by the pharmaceutical company Emergent BioDefense Operations Lansing LLC (Biothrax, 2018). Because the threat of anthrax is low, typically people the handle animal products, those that work in laboratories around anthrax, and members of the military that are deploying to areas where the threat of anthrax is high are the only segments within society that receive the anthrax vaccine (Anthrax Vaccination: What Everyone Should Know, 2016). I received it on my deployment in 2015. For those that may have been potentially exposed but are not showing symptoms, the antibiotics, Ciprofloxacin, and Doxycycline are effective in killing the spore (Antibiotics to Prevent Anthrax After Exposure, 2020). Also, the CDC’s website contains a wealth of information on the threat of anthrax being used as a bioterror weapon along with the CDC providing funding, guidance, and training to health departments to protect communities against it as well as responding to a potential attack (What CDC is Doing to Prepare for an Anthrax Attack, November). Lastly, one of the agencies tasked with potentially responding to a bio-terror attack, such as anthrax, is the United States Marine Corps Chemical Biological Incident Response Force (CBIRF). This 500-person unit, just outside of the National Capitol Region, is trained and equipped to respond to any incident within the area that involves chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or high yield explosives (Chemical Biological Incident Response Force, 2021). With all these resources, I believe our government takes the threat of anthrax seriously and is prepared to respond if ever called upon. AndrewReferencesAmerithrax or Anthrax Investigation.

1- In Chapter 8, social media is considered a communication tool instead of a catalyst for change, and I would both agree and disagree. I agree with this statement because for the most part, social media is used for interaction between people. The main way I use social media is to be connected with my friends and family. I would disagree with this statement though because social media has been found very addicting, and people are glued to their phones these days. The reason I can see this as a catalyst for change would be companies, organizations, or people of power could take advantage of that addiction and use it to push a narrative that they want to be pushed to a large audience in attempt to change people. That may sound extreme but I believe that this could happen to many overtime.
If I moved to another country temporarily, I would definitely hold on to my cultural values and beliefs, but this wouldn’t stop me from slightly picking up a piece of the new culture I moved in to. I feel like it is almost impossible to completely assimilate right away into a new culture, unless you strongly disliked your previous culture.
——————————————————————————————–
2- I personally think that social media can be used as a catalyst for change .With as much time as I have spent on Instagram and Snapchat alone since the pandemic began is insane because there was absolutely nothing else to do .So naturally it was the way I have distantly communicated with my friends for about a year .It is also how I was getting the news about current events and the strange political climate .I believe that social media can be a very powerful tool when used for good things such as activist groups and people speaking up for change in the country . I also believe it can do a lot of harm with things such as cyberbullying and the spreading of false information. To fully use it as a catalyst, you must do your own research before believing everything you see on the internet at face value. All in all ,I believe it can be used to make people aware of issues going on within our country and others and with its use to push us and inspire us to be better people from the newfound knowledge gained .
I would personally want to dive into what the new culture of my country has to offer in some degree .For example the use of a different language .Personally I have been wanting to learn a new language for a long time .Although I cannot completely ditch English because that’s my first language ,I would learn a different one so I could better communicate with my neighbors and thrive within my new society . I would also want to learn what hand gestures to use because I’ve heard in some cultures the hand signals we use are deemed “friendly†,but there they are deemed “offensiveâ€. I think it would be really fun to visit a new country anyways since I have never been outside the US!
3- I agree 100% that if everyone spoke the same language that there would be more unity and communication between nations. However if this were the case we would lose so much about our world. Heritage languages offer many things such as understanding of its people and their lifestyles, generations of stories, unique skill sets, and understanding of different parts of the world. Another major thing we lose when a language becomes extinct is a different point of view on history. When one greater opposing force takes over and establishes their language as the primary language the smaller language dies out, and with it goes another crucial piece of history. Typically our history comes from the winning side of a 2 or more sided story. The loss of a language means we might not get to ever learn about what the other forces experienced within that conflict. We are not only losing a heritage language, but rather another important piece of our world’s history.
In Chapter 8, social media is classified as a communication tool, not a catalyst for change. Social media has only been around for a short period of time; however it’s impact on our world is tremendous. I would agree that social media is mainly a communication tool, yet that fact it’s a communication tool also allows for it to act as a catalyst for change. One of the examples given was about how women in Egypt would post videos on YouTube sharing their sexual assault and harassment experiences on YouTube. These women would also use Harassmap to expose authorities and bring light to the submerged topics. The videos and images posted on these social media platforms caused other news media’s to report about these stories which to this day are continuing to push against the mistreatment of women in Egypt and other surrounding countries. Social media has many growing platforms. Many of these platforms allow not only communication, but for the ability to bring light and change to inhumane events happening around the world, as well as political change.

4- If I moved to another country I would try and hold on to my practices and core values, but I would also adopt my new country’s culture and embrace it. I would never want to forget where I came from which is one reason why I would hold on to my beliefs. I would also want my children to understand my culture as well. I don’t think it is complete possible to give up a native culture unless you move at a very small age. In Chapter 8 I agree that social media is a communication tool simply because that is a very effective way that things happen for people. Social media is how some people make a living just by communicating there. I do feel as if it has too much an effect on some of our younger people such as the trends they come up with. I don’t let social media control my world views on political situations. People will have their own opinions which is one reason I don’t voice my political views on social media, but there are quite a few social media platforms that does so.

I disagree with this assessment. I feel that it is a communication tool, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a catalyst for change. It’s within the fact that it’s a communication tool that it could be a catalyst for change by letting people let others know how they feel and to find people who are like-minded to them, especially when it comes to political opinions. It is a platform for discussion and there are new trends every day that explode in popularity. Social media has the influence on my world view and knowledge of political situations around the world of letting me know what’s going on as it is happening or soon after and letting me make an informed decision for myself.
If you moved to another country temporarily (and some of you have!), would you try to hold on to your cultural practices and values, or would you adopt (assimilate to) your new country’s culture? Do you think it is possible to completely give up a native culture and immerse yourself in a new country? Why or why not?
I think I would try to adopt the new country’s culture. I don’t think it is possible to completely give up your native culture. It would be extremely difficult because your culture is so engrained in your behaviors and the way you think. There would be at least a few of these behaviors and ways of thinking that you wouldn’t quite be able to completely get rid of especially if you’re only going somewhere temporarily. Your culture affects how you do every aspect of your life.

/in /by adminAssessment 1 Instructions: Family and Medical Leave Act and Core HR FunctionsPrepare a 5-6 page white paper designed to educate HR staff on how to use employee-centered approaches to mitigate the negative effects of FMLA that have affected both teamwork and a core function of the HR department.IntroductionFMLA impacts both teamwork and many of the core functions of HR. A key to both positive and negative consequences of the FMLA is inevitably dependent upon a positively involved staff whose values are reflected in the implementation of the practices and policies of an organization.FMLA provides legal and regulatory guidance for the administration of a specific area of employee benefits. The act essentially entitles eligible employees of covered employers to take unpaid, job-protected leave for specified family and medical reasons.The Need for TeamworkThe act allows 12 work weeks of leave in a 12-month period. Job responsibilities and duties of an employee taking leave under provisions of the FMLA remain, and must be absorbed by others. This requires teamwork and sacrifice on the part of coworkers.Employee-Centered Health Care OrganizationAn employee-centered health care organization will explore ways and means of accomplishing necessary changes to achieve the following:Meet legal requirements.Align with the organization’s mission, vision, and values.Be sensitive to the need for a safe and secure work environment.Promote employee morale.Support fairness in the workplace.As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint.

solved Question 1 Some students think that they do not have
/in /by adminQuestion 1
Some students think that they do not have much of a culture at their organization. The truth is that every organization has a culture! Your organizational culture can be related to the way that employees dress, the way that they communicate, or even how they decorate their work environment.
An organizational culture is often formed through the many different people that make up the company. These diverse traits may be your race, ethnicity, gender, age, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, ability, etc. Take some time to think about your own cultural background and how this can add to your work culture. Share these cultural pieces with us in this Discussion. Try to not focus on just one aspect of yourself, but try to utilize as many cultural elements as possible. Also, address why culture is important in communication. How does your culture affect your communication with others in the workplace?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.

Hello Professor and class,
I have been blessed to experience an upbringing that fostered a model of “do unto others as you want done to you”. This thought process granted me the understanding of compassion. The ability to put myself in someone else’s shoes. By doing this, I am providing them the same courtesies I desire, such as being heard and understood. A few traits of my cultural background include possessing a melanin rich exterior. Growing up in Los Angeles, I was told that due to my melanin rich exterior, my interior became somehow inferior by purely being born this way. I was told that no one would want to marry me due to my complexion. I was told that I was not pretty due to my complexion and other undesirable unsolicited faulderal. This, was at times, disheartening to hear as a young child. However, it strengthened my sensitivity to the biases targeted at others for reasons they could not control. By being two cents richer every time I heard bias projections from others, I became closer to God. I began to realize I am whole and made wonderful just being who I am. This enhanced my confidence and overall unshakeable joy. This joy contributed to fearless approach to trying new things, believing in myself and encouraging others to follow their visions. This fearless broach to inclusivity regardless of the situation catapulted my career with my organization. The culture of my  organization is one of vast diversity and inclusion. My experiences enhanced my ability to embrace and identify with my organization’s culture.Â
My father, in whom I inherited my rich melanin complexion, is a director for a prominent hospital. He holds no degree. What he does have is this incredible ability to keep moving forward. He sees every opportunity, seizes it and executes with jubilence and humor! I follow him. He taught me how to see the bright side and remain positive. My mother taught me how to fight and maintain composure in the midst of adversity. God teaches me how to be still, love, and feel for the sensitivity of those around me. I give the credit of my professional success to all of these teachings, cultural experiences and my obedience to follow them.Â
I have been promoted three times in my organization in under four years with no degree. I have utilized the virtues of my cultural experience to open doors for me that my academic background could never do. I’m blessed to work for a company that appreciates my energy, voice and abilities. Â Kreps (2019) states, “Strong culture organizations exert a great deal of influence over their members’ personal identities and behavior”, (p. 6.1). The organization I work for has not only embraced me, but I have wholeheartedly embraced the culture. They put their members and people first in all their decisions. The CEO visits all of the campuses to not just listen to everyone (all way to the janitorial service that is hired by contract), but they also incorporate new ideas that don’t just come from the higher ups. I’m thankful to be apart of such an organizational culture!

Hello Professor and Class,Â
Tim Scudder (2011) stated, “Conflict is about a threat to self worth”, (4:09). I experienced a conflict with a co-workers who originally presented herself as a friend. We worked in different departments. She was a supervisor and I was in a position one step lower than her when we first met. I always seek to find the good in a person. I didn’t see bad in her, but I felt something was off. Whenever we would speak after, she would look me over from my feet up. As if she was mentally dragging me down through judgement before she ever looked me in the eyes. I noticed it, but never addressed it. After a few meetings like this, I told my husband. My husband is a marine who can see through any and everyone. He told me she was jealous of me. I didn’t want to believe him. However, I could not shake the feeling that there was something about her I didn’t trust. A few months after, I was promoted to her department. Less than three months after that, I was offered a rotational supervisor position. I accepted. Which meant her and I were now working on the same team as equal peers. She began privately advising me not to talk to the other supervisors at other campuses. She would say they are messy and to always let her know what assignments I am working on. I did not follow her advice. I ended up befriended everyone at the other campuses as well as a few international peers. The teams I supervised loved me and began coming to me for he.Â
After a while, I noticed she changed towards me. Then our manager (who is located in another state) began telling me that she was hearing things about me. In that virtual meeting with my manager, I was able to show her all of my work, provide data of my results and encouraged her to ask every manager on the floor who’s team I worked with about my presence. Come to find out, the young woman was spreading rumors about me to my manager and to the professionals I was coaching/supervising. This did upset me, but I did not get mad at her. Instead I invited her for coffee during lunch. During this coffee luncheon, I began asking her questions about herself. I approached her with a “let’s get to know each other better” vibe. I honestly do not remember much else about this conversation except for her statement that floored me. I was sharing some hypothetical story. In the story I was saying something about ” a new girl”. Even though the story was not about the “new girl”, while staring in the distance she abruptly shouted, “BUT YOU HAVE TO GET THE NEW GIRL! YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE NEW GIRL!”…. I maintained a calm contenance, but on the inside I said, “Oh. My. Gosh…I’m the new girl”. After that statement, I began to dig deeper. I found out that her childhood was not pleasant. She now carries this chip on her shoulder to where she always has to be the smartest one, the prettiest one, the best one. If she isn’t, she does what is required to get rid of the competition. After understanding that her ill intentions that I was picking up on were true, the fact is that were unconscious. She wired herself this way. I was the “threat to her self worth”. She went to what she knows. After that, I kept her close at arms length. However, I kept my distance when it came to the desires of my career goals.Â
Next time I pick up on ill intentions, I will address them right then and there. By addressing them upfront, I can save a relationship and a reputation.Â

solved I need replies to my peers discussion posts, one reference
/in /by adminI need replies to my peers discussion posts, one reference each, only within the last 5 years 100 to 200 words each should be enough. I’ve included their discussions questions. DQ Question 1:Sister Mary is a patient in Level 2 Emergency Department. She must have a neural examination, physical assessment, radiographs of her facial bones, and a computed tomography scan of the head. Taking into consideration that she is a Roman Catholic nun, what would be the ideal course of patient education as this woman progresses from department to department?DQ Question 2:What possible reservations could a health care professional have in working with Sister Mary? (Discuss the psychosocial responses the professional might have.) Peer discussion questions: 1) Kamarie ( DQ2) One of the biggest reservations that a healthcare professional may have working with Sister Mary is that their religious beliefs may not align with the roman catholic values. They also may be worried about offending them in some way. As healthcare professionals, we know that religion is so important to our patients and want to incorporate it as much as we can into their stay. Involving religion can improve patients outcomes and this may be why the health care worker has reservations about working with Sister Mary because they do not want to offend her and decrease her positive outcomes (Muelle et al., 2001). Healthcare professionals may be worried that Sister Mary will refuse everything due to her religion or that she may not want treatment because she wants to leave it in God’s hands. When it comes to psychosocial responses the healthcare professional may be worried that other healthcare members do not have any information on the religion. It would also be an opportunity to expand their knowledge so that they can provide other members of the healthcare team with information on the religion.ReferencesMueller, P., Plevak, D., & Rummans, T. (2001). Religious involvement, spirituality, and medicine: implications for clinical practice. Mayo Clinic. 2) Jessica (DQ2) The difference in culture, origin, and worldviews significantly affects how healthcare professionals handle various patients. Consequently, while working with Sister Mary, a healthcare professional’s possible reservations could have include spirituality, social beliefs, and religious beliefs. Spirituality is the connection between human beings and supernatural being, essential in patients’ lives. Nonetheless, most health providers do not talk about religious beliefs and spirituality during patient education due to various reasons, such as poor communication, psychosocial factors, and time limits (Henderson et al., 2018). A health professional should remain respectful and culturally competent; thus, a health professional should desist from discrimination and judging a patient by appearance, dialect, spiritual inclination, degree of illness, and behavior. Cultural competence is essential in providing quality and patient-centered care; therefore, while working with Sister Mary, a health provider should make reservations that do not contravene her social beliefs. In a clinical setting, health providers come across patients, such as Sister Mary, who have varied beliefs and cultures; thus, a health professional should reserve their ideas to learn and understand Mary’s religious and cultural beliefs (Lin et al., 2017). Moreover, other reservations a health professional could make include offering compassion and love to Sister Mary, irrespective of the differences in their cultural and social beliefs. Reservations in health care allow healthcare professionals to tailor-make the treatment process to suit every patient; thus, it requires critical thinking, justice, beneficence, and nonmaleficence. ReferencesHenderson, S., Horne, M., Hills, R., & Kendall, E. (2018). Cultural competence in healthcare in the community: a concept analysis.

Journal of Nursing Research, 25(3), 174-186. 3) Cendrille (DQ2) Health professionals may have some difficulties dealing with the psychosocial factors; however, some might not be aware of signs that could warn them of these factors with an impact on the usefulness of patient teaching (Falvo, 2011, pg.82). While caring for Sister Mary, healthcare professionals might struggle with her religious beliefs and factors simply because the health care professionals might not be familiar with the practice and might not be sure what sister Mary will accept or not. Giving patients information about their condition or treatment without considering factors that may facilitate or hinder their following recommendations is not only an inefï¬cient use of time but also leads to poor patient teaching outcomes (Falvo, 2011, pg. 82). It is important for healthcare professionals to have an effective connection with his/her patients and understand the psychosocial factors of the patient so that the patient can be assisted with health care education. Personally, I will be worried about making her comfortable because I have a shallow understanding of her religious needs to provide care specific to her in a way that she would accept. However, when any health care professionals spend time with patient communicating the needs, it helps in the overall patient care outcome and also make the health care professional a better health educator.ReferenceFalvo, Donna. 2011. Effective Patient Education A Guide to Increased Adherence. Fourth Edition. Retrieved from https://viewer.gcu.edu/RQBKXW 4) Kamarie (DQ1) In order to have proper patient education, we would first need to make sure that she is comfortable, being a nun there will be things that she isn’t comfortable with and it would be important to ask her what she is comfortable with or if she has any requests. By making her comfortable there is a higher chance of a positive patient outcome and improves their satisfaction (Beaulieu-Volk, 2015). If she had any religious restrictions those should be passed along so that everyone providing care is aware. Roman Catholics have very specific beliefs and some of those include modesty so explaining to Sister Mary what the physical exam entails and even seeing if she wants a certain gender for a provider. We have to remember as health care workers that we have to respect everyone’s religion and if we don’t understand it we can look it up or even ask the patient questions about their religion so that we can better serve them. For Sister Mary, it would be important to educate her prior to each department for instance just explaining what the neuro exam is for and what kind of questions that we will be asking. It would also be important to encourage Sister Mary to ask questions throughout the process.ReferencesBeaulieu-Volk, D. (2015, February 26). 3 reasons to make patient comfort a priority. FierceHealthcare. https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/healthcare/3-reasons-to-make-patient-comfort-a-priority.5) Jessica (DQ1) As health care providers it is important to remain aware and understanding of the patient’s beliefs. Part of effective teaching would be to ask questions to prevent any barriers to patient teaching (Falvo, 2011). Considerations that a health care provider should take into account for a Roman Catholic nun is that if she is going to be NPO, she may request Communion. She may also wish to keep her crucifix or rosary beads with her. This would be especially important during radiographs. Additionally, nuns wear a “habit†over their hair to symbolize purity, chastity, and shows that she is married to God. It would be important to communicate this to other health care providers as Sister Mary travels between departments, so that all members of her health care team can understand and respect her beliefs (Arritt, ND).References:Arritt, T.

Effective Patient Education: A Guide to Increased Adherence. Sudbury, MA: Jones & Bartlett Publishers.6) Isatu (DQ1) Patient education is very important and incorporating patient belief and culture is essential in their care. The nurse goals are to broadening their knowledge about cultural and religious diversity prior to assessing Sister Mary (Arritt, 2014). The nurse must also research religious practices specific to the patient to enhance their healthcare experience (Arritt, 2014). Teaching for this patient needs to be patient and faith centered. Patient should be cared for and respected for their belief and culture. Getting a thorough assessment and learning about Sister Mary beliefs will be the first place to start. The nurse can also ask about religious preference rather than assuming (Arritt, 2014). Her religious belief must be included in every step of the visit and education. Roman Catholic nuns like to always keep a rosery by their side during procedures, the nurse must be aware of it and try to incorporate it in the patient care as the patient progress from department to department (Arritt, 2014).ReferencesArritt, T.

/in /by adminPart 1, 100–200-word responses for part a and b.1(a)How does human capital provide a basis for competitive advantage?Human capital is the sum of the skills, knowledge, and general attributes of the people in an organization. (Hitt, Miller, Colella & del Carmen Triana, n.d., pg.9, 2017) A competitive advantage exists when a company can deliver the same benefits as competitors but at a lower cost or deliver benefits that exceed those of competing products. Human Capital is the force that will provide the strategy for developing the wealth of a business. Human Capital is an intangible asset because it includes all the assets or abilities of employees within an organization. These competencies differ between the skills, experience, education, and potential of each employee. What are the five characteristics of high-involvement management, and what evidence exists to support the effectiveness of this approach?The five characteristics of high involvement management are selective hiring, extensive training, decision power, information sharing, and incentive compensation. Evidence such as technology and staff support this approach. The right, ambitious career-minded people will gravitate to a company that invests in their human capital. Today’s workforce seeks jobs that offer career progression, and a company that invests in its people does just that. To reap the most benefits from employees, your business needs to actively invest in them. This may be done in various ways, by offering training, clear career progression, and offering engagement processes by knowing your employee’s strengths and helping them develop those. Your business has to spend money on developing its workers to maximize the return on your human capital investment. (Farrugia, 2017)References:Hitt, M. A., Miller, C.

Retrieved from https://www.castilleresources.com/blog/2017/09/competitive-advantage-through-human-capitalPart 1(B)Many people consider human capital to be the greatest asset of a company. In fact, this is the philosophy adopted by so many of the most successful and innovative companies in the world, such as Google and Apple. Many studies indicate that there is a link between great human capital and high-performing companies. So, what is a competitive advantage? Competitive advantage is when a company achieves a certain kind of superiority over other companies and is always one step ahead of the competition. “There are many strategies that contribute to achieving a competitive advantage, but maximizing your human capital is a major contributor to achieving a competitive edge in the marketplace” (Bubenik). By attracting and hiring the best employees with the best knowledge, skills, education, work ethics, and personal values, a company can achieve a highly significant advantage. Human capital is an intangible asset and like any other investment, it must be analyzed and chosen carefully. After all, finding the right candidate is not an easy task, and retaining the right employee might prove to be an even more challenging task. However, if done right and efficiently, the return on the investment is extraordinary for the company as well as the workforce. That is when high-involving management comes into play. “High-involving management involves carefully selecting and training associates in order to provide them with significant decision-making power, information, and incentive compensation” (Hitt, Miller, Colella, 2017). The five categories for high-involvement management are selective hiring, incentive compensation, info sharing, decision power, and extensive training. The studies on the topic suggest that the implementation of High Involvement Management Practices (HIMP) are linked to organizational commitment. In other words, the implementation of these practices reduce considerably employee turnover. In addition, there are more positive effects that are linked to the implementation HIMPs, such as increase in employees’ productivity, wages, career progression within an organization, and job satisfaction (What Works Centre for Local Economic Growth). Besides, as mentioned, HIMPs attract the best employees. “At the end of the day, your people are your competitive edge” (Bubenik, 2019). References Bubenik, S. (2019, February 19).

We started with Hot Shot trucking which was pretty simple. Our first step was to obtain our L.L.C. by registering with Florida Sunbiz, next we got a lease from Enterprise corporate fleet. Once we found a driver, we got our Ram 3500 on the road and began making passive income. During the summer of 2020 we decided to transition into tractor trailers that allowed for larger and heavier loads. We financed a semi truck and continued business as usual on a larger scale. Our fixed costs after purchasing the truck is our overhead, this included the semi’s monthly payment, our insurance and the price of my drivers company issued cell phone. Our variable costs is the weekly salary paid to my driver, fuel/ifta costs, tolls and of course D.O.T. infractions. Our total fixed overhead is $1,600/mo and my average weekly earnings is $2,000. After paying my driver the 33% we agreed upon my break even point to remain afloat was $5240. As long as we received payments equaling this amount monthly we could maintain our obligations. Part 2(BBreak-even analysis is an extremely valuable method because it will assist you in identifying the benefit streams in your market. The break-even point of a business is the volume of earnings or profits required to cover its expenditures. In other words, that is the stage where the corporation is neither profitable nor incurring a loss. Computing the break-even point will provide executives with a straightforward yet useful quantitative method. In its simplest type, break-even analysis determines if the profits raised by a service or product is sufficient to offset the related manufacturing costs of the service or product (Hayes, 2021). Management teams may use this data to make a variety of strategic choices, like pricing, planning fair deals, and obtaining loans. With regard to my life, I also use break-even point analysis sometimes. For instance, when shopping, I have to determine which goods are the most cost effective and worthwhile by evaluating their quality, price, and quantities to obtain a better deal. As such, it is a method for determining whether an enterprise can be profitable by contrasting its total profits to its aggregate costs. There are many specific applications for the situation, but all of them include administrative accounting and cost management. The key difference to grasp of administrative accounting is one of sales and rewards. Not all earnings accrue to the company. Multiple products cost more to manufacture than they generate in sales. Due to the fact that expenses outweigh sales, these goods are a disadvantage — not a gain.ReferenceHayes, A. (2021, March 30). Break-even analysis.
