PurposeThis assignment is your opportunity to demonstrate the skills and techniques you have gained during this course.InstructionsThis final assignment is your chance to apply what you’ve learned so far to a project. You may develop this project from one of your previous assignments or you may start a new one. Whatever you decide, you must pick an option from one of the following three categories:ExperimentalNonfictionNarrative FictionYou can review examples of what each of these category types look like on the previous page, if you haven’t already.SOLO PROJECT OR GROUP WORKAdditionally, you have a choice between doing this final project alone or in a group. However, if you choose to do this with a group, you will accept that your grades will all be the same. Therefore, you need to communicate with your group members beforehand and throughout the project about expectations, workload. The process for each genre is a bit different, so please consider their process elements carefully when deciding on which option to pick and whether or not you want to work with a group. (You can see suggested group numbers in the descriptions below.)For example, the experimental and nonfiction prompts may not require as much pre-production activity but will require extensive time in the editing room. The narrative prompt has a heavier load of pre-production work, but will not take as much time in the editing room. Final projects must be submitted with titles and end credits. Whoever is submitting the group project must include a description of the prompt and names of all group members. If you are not submitting for your group, you still must make a text submission stating who has submitted for your group.Experimental (Solo Project)PRODUCTION PLANYou must submit a production plan (1-2 pages, single-spaced) that contains:Plan & Timeline (What will you do?

FIRST PERSON TO RESPOND TO:
by Elin Shearin – Sunday, June 6, 2021, 3:13 PMNumber of replies: 1
Babies cling to their caregivers because they have formed a strong attachment to them. If they do not, then they have not formed an attachment to them. Stranger anxiety is apprehension in the presence of unfamiliar people. Separation anxiety is apprehension when separated from their caregiver. Both of these usually peek in young toddlers. Babies perceive themselves as part of their caregivers and their surroundings.

Toddlers tend to flip back and forth between their emotions as well as testing their new independence while still being clingy. Awareness of cause and effect develops when they use their sense of curiosity. The example provided in our slide show is that a toddler presses a button. After they press the button they learn that a bell always rings when they touch it. Because of their curiosity, toddlers are constantly exploring. This tends to overshadow all of their other needs. It is important to remain vigilant with toddlers to make sure they remain safe while exploring.

Preschoolers can make plans and decisions. This is because preschoolers become more conscious of their own interests and intentions. Preschoolers learn to accept responsibility by doing challenging things. You can help them learn responsibility by never doing something for them that they can do themselves and by helping them learn the rules. Preschoolers develop a positive sense of self by developing their self-concept and self-esteem. These are directly affected by those around them. Our textbook says that as they become more adept at language they also become more susceptible to the opinions of others.
SECOND PERSON TO RESPOND TO:by Tasia Jones – Tuesday, June 1, 2021, 2:34 PMNumber of replies: 2
Characteristics of infant behavior- Infants display behavior reactions suggestive of emotional states as early as the three or four months of life. The four earliest emotional states they seem to experience are surprise, distress in response to discomfort, relaxation, and excitement.
Why do babies cling- This refers to a child needing lots of attention from a person. Just so they do not feel like they are being ignored by anyone. Also they might just want someone to play with instead of each other all of the time. Toddlers or older children may cry, cling or even have a full blown meltdown if their parent is leaving them. In most cases, these reactions are perfectly normal.
Separation and Stranger Anxiety- This is when a child is around someone they do not know. That is why it is important to have children around the right people, so he or she can feel secured. Now separation anxiety can be if their away from someone that they care about like, siblings, parents or friends. Then Stranger Anxiety the distress that young children experience when they are exposed to people who are unfamiliar to them.
Babies and their surroundings- A lot of babies know where they are when they are out. Surroundings is a big thing in children’s lives, it gives them a chance to be around people that they never knew existed.
Characteristics of toddler behavior- As they enter the toddler years, we watch their cognitive, social, and emotional development blossom as they explore their independence and place in the world. These stages are exciting, but they can also come with challenging behaviors like tantrums, aggression and lying.
1. Yes I think toddlers can control their feelings and actions, because even though they misbehave especially in public they are aware what they are doing around people. Feelings- Some toddlers will cry or try not to in front of people by stopping the tears from running down their face, I call that hiding their emotions from others. Actions- Some will have tantrum in places such as restaurants, stores and at school. They cause scenes like that to get attention from others. But they will most definitely keep it under control to keep themselves from being embarrassed.
2, Awareness cause and effect develop- It develops in the child’s brain. It can go to their system, to figure out how their mind works. Then work it’s way down to their body.
3. Needs for exploration- Kids need to explore new and exciting things, so they can be involved with the world. When they take a risk to explore things, it gives them the chance to do more things with their lives , and as they get older more of these out door and in door explorations will be more clear to them in time.
Characteristics of preschool behavior- What to expect preschoolers are curious, easily distracted, on independence and still developing self regulation. Preschool will help the child learn about getting along with others and following rules. Common preschooler behavior concerns are tantrums, bad habits and also lying.
1. Plans and decisions made by preschoolers- I do believe that many preschoolers can make their own plans and decisions without any assistance from parents. Their very capable of doing those things on their own it is really a life lesson they will carry with them forever, they can look back on what they have done and say I planned my own day and make a lifelong change in my day. Give them some credit kids are very smart to accomplish things that need to be done, with a little help from parents.
2. How do preschoolers develop a positive sense of self- They can develop this from how their mind works. A sense of self can also be said as a sense of mind which means he or she have a mind of their own and it can be used to make wise decisions. At ages 4 and 5 this a great way to learn how to mature a little bit, each and every child thinks differently, which is also okay, As long as he or she is thinking positively they can and will succeed no matter how old they are or how their mind works.
3. Accepting responsibility from preschoolers- Preschoolers will learn to accept being responsible in time. What that would mean is that he or she will become more independent by themselves. Also by learning right from wrong, now this is something that they can either learn to live with or try to adjust to. No child is perfect but if he or she is being taught the right thing, they can accept it depending on the child and the parent. They learn from their guardian to what to do right and what is the wrong thing to do I learn a lot of responsibility when I was their age. I am still learning and that is okay it is better that they learn this at a younger age then not to learn it at all. 

Write a 3-5 page paper in which you analyze why regulatory agencies began monitoring quality in health care, explain how regulatory agencies have impacted quality of care, and provide an evaluation of quality.
Introduction
Early attempts at quality efforts were limited to the resources, knowledge, and environment in which health care services and treatment were rendered. As medical education and research advanced so did the knowledge of and focus on quality improvement efforts. Basic functions including handwashing and sterile environments were two of the many simple advancements resulting in dramatic improvements in outcomes and overall quality.
Regulatory agencies have directly impacted health care organizations’ focus on, and attention to, quality improvement. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission offers accreditation to various health care organizations who demonstrate compliance with established regulatory standards. Combined with various government agencies, initiatives have been implemented that require health care organizations to report on quality measures, thereby making their quality performance transparent throughout the industry.
As a leader in the health care industry, understanding historical perspectives of quality, regulatory oversight, and medical malpractice will allow you to effectively lead your organization to meet or exceed its strategic goals related to improved outcomes, increased reimbursements, and reduced cost.

There are a lot of people already using APA 7 so this might be a helpful tool (even if you have not yet transitioned).  I keep a laminated copy right by my computer so I can check on anything that is confusing.  A few notes that are key points:1. APA 6 has the Running head: ALL CAPS on title page for header. APA 7 has only the page #.2. Neither version (ever) has the word Introduction as a heading. No matter what any directions may tell you, it is not correct APA in either version to use that word as a heading.3. For references of more than two authors, APA 7 uses only the first one and then et al., No period after et and no comma after the name of the first author.4.  APA 7 does not use the words Retrieved from or the Retrieved date in the references. Glance at the sample paper to see how this should look. Also, if it is a book, the place of publication is not needed.5.  Periods go on the outside of the parenthesis and not before them (Alles, 2021). 6. Don’t use first names or degrees in your references, and also don’t include any degrees such as PhD, MD, JD, MA, etc.
