Case
Study – Containing Operating Cost
Jim is a financial analyst
at his organization and his primary role is to ensure that the Cardiology
service line and the Transplant service line stay within its operational budget
for the fiscal year. Today, he is meeting with the operational leadership of
his organization’s cardiology service line. He let them know that they are
currently over budget for the year, mainly due to staffing and over utilization
of supplies.
In at least 750 words, write
an essay in APA format that critically evaluates the organizations operating
cost. Ensure that you answer all prompts thoroughly using at least two
resources as references to justify your response.
·
Educate operational leadership on why it is
important to the overall bottom line of the organization to contain these costs
and the challenges that come with doing so.
·
Explain the measures that operational
leadership can take to help manage these operational costs across its service
line. What best practices are out there that they can learn from and implement? PART D Describe the factors that have led to increased health care costs?Discuss the necessary skills that you possess or hope to possess in the potential role as a finance manager when making capital purchases and how this may impact the organization in which you are employed.

Discussion Boards
Discussion Boards (DB) are a key component of online learning. They foster active participation of learners and dialog with fellow learners and instructors. Graduate-level courses require learners to create original posts to course DBs and to engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the course. Original posts and responses should be substantive, and if references are made to the works of others, APA guidelines for in-text citations and references apply.
Minimum Weekly DB Expectations

Post an original and thoughtful Main Post to the DB prompt.
Respond to at least 2 other posts from learners and/or the instructor (Response Posts).
The first contribution (Main Post or Response Post) must be posted before midnight (Central time) on Friday of each week.
Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week.
For DB assignment prompts with a Part One and Part Two, Part One should be addressed in the first week of the unit with a Main Post and minimum of 2 Response Posts, and Part Two should be addressed in the second week of the unit with a Main Post and a minimum of 2 Response Posts.

More on DBs
At the end of each unit, DB participation is assessed based on level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion. DBs allow learners to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB are accepted after the end of the unit. Learners must demonstrate an appropriate depth of understanding of course content to receive credit for having submitted substantive posts. Typically, this is achieved with 3–4 strong paragraphs for Main Posts and 2–3 strong paragraphs for Response Posts.

How do you think that this idea relates to adult learning theory, as stated by Malcolm Knowles in the principles of andragogy?

Discussion 1(A): Focus on Identity DevelopmentMiddle childhood is marked by several changes leading to identity formation. During this period, children begin expanding views of themselves and their social world and are acquiring fundamental skills important to navigate their environments. Additionally, children are exposed to adults and peers outside the family. Key social events include entry into preschool and elementary school, and the introduction of school opens up an entirely new world of relationships with others. It is at school that friendships become increasingly important as children start to build relationships with other people outside of the family unit. Also, at this stage, children become selective about who they choose as friends and start making judgments about other children. For this Discussion, you explore the role peer and group acceptance has on identity development and successful adjustment among children in middle childhood.Post:Explain the role peer and group acceptance has on identity development among children in middle childhood.Determine whether peer and group acceptance is a predictor of successful adjustment in middle childhood.Choose one of the following psychosocial factors: gender, race, ethnicity, or social class. Explain how this factor may further affect identity development.Discussion 1(B): BullyingAdolescent bullying is a very real problem in schools. One in every four students report being bullied in schools (National Center for Educational Statistics, 2015). Of those bullied, a large number do not report it. Bullying includes behaviors that focus on making someone else feel inadequate or belittling the individual. Adolescent bullying may take many forms, such as physical harm, verbal threats, and relational or social condemnation including but not limited to harassment, repeated demeaning speech, and efforts to ostracize another person. Technological tools and applications such as computers and cell phones have also rapidly become popular for engaging in bullying behaviors. The effects that come with bullying can have a stunting impact on an individual’s development physically, emotionally, and/or socially.For this Discussion, you analyze a case study focused on bullying.To prepare for this Discussion, watch the Southside Community Services: Amy, Episode 1 video listed in the Learning Resources.Post:Explain how bullying may affect Amy’s biological, psychological, and social development.Explain how you would apply a theoretical approach and two practice skills when working with Amy.Describe an important message you would provide for Amy to help her at this point in her life span.Identify an additional theoretical approach and/or practice skill that would complement the one chosen by your colleague when working with Amy.

The nursing process is a tool that puts knowledge into practice. By utilizing this systematic problem-solving method, nurses can determine the health care needs of an individual and provide personalized care. Write a paper (1,750-2,000 words) on cancer and approach to care based on the utilization of the nursing process. Include the following in your paper: Describe the diagnosis and staging of cancer.Describe at least three complications of cancer, the side effects of treatment, and methods to lessen physical and psychological effects.Discuss what factors contribute to the yearly incidence and mortality rates of various cancers in Americans.Explain how the American Cancer Society (ACS) might provide education and support. What ACS services would you recommend and why?Explain how the nursing process is utilized to provide safe and effective care for cancer patients across the life span. Your explanation should include each of the five phases and demonstrate the delivery of holistic and patient-focused care.Discuss how undergraduate education in liberal arts and science studies contributes to the foundation of nursing knowledge and prepares nurses to work with patients utilizing the nursing process. Consider mathematics, social and physical sciences, and science studies as an interdisciplinary research area. You are required to cite to a minimum of four sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and relevant to nursing practice. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Advocacy Through Legislation Nurses often become motivated to change aspects within the larger health care system based on their real-world experience. As such, many nurses take on an advocacy role to influence a change in regulations, policies, and laws that govern the larger health care system. For this assignment, identify a problem or concern in your state, community, or organization that has the capacity for advocacy through legislation. Research the issue and use the “Advocacy Through Legislation” template to complete this assignment. You are required to cite to a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and relevant to nursing practice. While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

Damage to the parts of the brain that process visual information can lead to a variety of visual agnosias depending on which area is damaged. Some people with agnosia have difficulty recognizing familiar faces or objects, others cannot distinguish color, and still others may not perceive movement. A related phenomenon is neglect, which results in inattention to one side of the body (and visual field), so that objects on that side are not noticed. There are many interesting case histories of such individuals, and studying both the site of damage and the particular loss of function can tell us a great deal about how the brain allows us to “see” the world. Such disorders also illustrate the principle that visual perception is somewhat modular, meaning that particular functions are processed by different brain areas.In this Discussion, you will choose a visual perception disorder from those included in Chapter 10 of the text. You will research the symptoms of the disorder, and analyze the impact of it on the affected person including issues with work, relationships, and leisure time.To prepare for this Discussion:Review the information on vision in Chapter 10 of your textbook, particularly the discussion on disorders of visual perception.Select one of the conditions covered in the book (object agnosia, prosopagnosia, color agnosia, movement agnosia, neglect, or synesthesia) to research in more detail. Locate a peer-reviewed scientific article about this condition in the Walden Library. The article should address the underlying neurobiology of the condition (i.e., neurotransmitters, brain regions involved, or connections between different areas).For the condition you selected, think about the symptoms and problems commonly experienced by people with the condition and the impact of the condition on areas of life including work, relationships, and leisure time. Also note the areas of the brain responsible for the condition and specific behaviors the condition affects. Consider how your own life would be different if you had this condition.Post a summary of the condition you chose. Include the brain area(s) responsible for the condition. Discuss the symptoms of the condition or the common problems that people with this form of brain damage often experience. Briefly summarize the journal article that you selected, detailing the underlying neurobiology of the condition. Discuss how your article expanded on the textbook’s explanation of the condition.If you had this condition, explain what everyday life would be like including its impact on your occupation, relationships, and leisure time. Include how the condition might affect your behaviors and experiences in these settings. What are some adaptations that you could make that would ease the effects of this condition?
