Nursing Leadership Class

Week One Discussion: Change & Innovation in Nursing

Initial Post:  

1. Obtain a scholarly nursing journal on Innovation and Change in Clinical Nursing Practice or Nursing Education. Download the article (you will post it for your peers to review)

2. Write your Literature Review (almost like an abstract), summarizing the key concepts presented in the article (you do not need to report statistical findings or elaborate on the type of research conducted). Make sure to identify the problem/need for change/rationale for change, the setting (practice or education) identified, and how the results/findings could be implemented in the identified setting. Limit to 1-2 paragraphs- quality over quantity!

3. Attach the article to your discussion post

Respond to at least ONE peer, and include the following:

1. After reviewing the article, identify 3 salient (relevant) points presented in the article in terms of the change proposed and the setting for the change, include a rationale/evidence for each point. For example, if you review an article about the implementation of simulation in nursing education to simulate clinical preparedness, you might conclude that: According to __________ (year), 65% nursing students in the study reported that simulation helped them learn psychomotor tasks better than the classroom environment and they felt more prepared when performing those skills in the clinical setting. When the simulation has been included in the curriculum at Stratford, it helped me feel better prepared and more confident during the clinical for the course.

2. Develop a research question (not a PICOT question) based upon the findings/results of the article.  For example, if you review an article about the implementation of simulation in nursing education to stimulate clinical preparedness, your research question could focus on the implementation of simulation in new grad unit-based orientation programs.  Reference: Writing a Research Question (click the link to go to the web page).

Environmental science: agree on biodiversity metrics to track from space

Objective 1 Based on the qualitative nature of this study, both the general and specific objectives shall entail measurable qualitative variables. The first objective is: to establish the effects of leadership on externality regulation. In arriving at the appropriate action for this objective, several approaches can be incorporated. This involves getting collaborative efforts from both the government and the public. The government, however, should play a greater role in this. This is because of the huge volumes of financial resources involved. The outcome can be realized after six months with the proper supervision of relevant stakeholders. The appropriate scale for measuring this is the rate of output growth rate or decline if other factors are held constant.

Objective 2 Due to leadership and energy connectivity linkages, the second objective would be: to discover the effects of leadership on energy. The appropriate action in this regard is controlled on energy production and consumption. This is a mandate of the government. This is because the competitive nature of people cannot allow for willful energy regulations (Skidmore et al. 2015). Resources involved in completing this action are finances and natural resources such as minerals. Since energy raw materials take time to transform, the best time to measure the impacts of this action would be after one year. An indicator that can be used in measuring the effectiveness of this is the rate of growth of health hazards.

Objective 3 Given the magnitude of transport issues and leadership, the third objective for this study would be: to identify the effects of leadership on transport. Selective infrastructural development is the best action for this. The government can take full control of this. This is due to the volume of financial resources involved. Infrastructural projects take time. Therefore, a period not less than a year but not exceeding four years is appropriate before the impacts of this action can be measured. The measurement indicator on this is the rate of output growth in the selected areas.

You mention that your objective is "to identify the effects of leadership on transport." Knowing the effects of leadership on transport, how can this help you improve or lesson the impact from environmental aspects of your chosen organization?

impact on the health of our population and our communities is critical for health care and human service professionals in the field. To prepare for and complete this discussion forum: Find a peer reviewed journal article that addresses health disparities or disparities in health outcomes of a particular health condition/concern (i.e., obesity, breast cancer, high blood pressure, infant mortality, etc.). A quick search of the library databases using, for example, the keywords Health Disparities in Breast Cancer, will produce a wealth of information from which to choose your article. Second, in a post of a minimum of 150 words, give a brief overview of the article and discuss what you think the most important take home point is. Try to pinpoint the underlying causes of the disparity and how it is impacting the health of minority or vulnerable populations. Do NOT simply read and paste the abstract. Read the entire article as I may ask you specific questions about it in the forum. Please check to make sure that you are not duplicating another student’s article in the forum.

This question is about java program. Please show the output and the detail code and comment of the each question and each Class and interface.

And the output (the test mthod )must be all the true! Thank you!

Question1

Create a class Animal with the following UML specification:
+-----------------------+
| Animal |
+-----------------------+
| - name: String |
+-----------------------+
| + Animal(String name) |
| + getName(): String |
| + getLegs(): int |
| + canFly(): boolean |
| + testAnimal(): void |(this is the static method)
+-----------------------+
where the name instance variable stores a name for the animal, the getLegs method returns as result the animal's number of legs, and the canFly method returns as result a boolean indicating whether the animal can fly or not. The testAnimal method is static.
Should the getLegs method be abstract? Why or why not?
Should the canFly method be abstract? Why or why not?
Should the Animal class be abstract? Why or why not?
What kinds of tests can you write inside the testAnimal method?
Add the following code to your program to test the Animal class:
public class Start {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal.testAnimal();
}
}
Question 2
Add a class Dog to your program. Dogs are animals. The constructor for the Dog class takes the name of the dog as argument. Dogs have four legs and cannot fly.
Do not forget to change the main method of the Start class to run the unit tests of the new Dog class.
Question 3
Add a class Bird to your program. Birds are animals. The Bird class must have a private instance variable called
numOfEggs which is an integer indicating how many eggs the bird has. The constructor for Bird takes as arguments a
name and a number of eggs. The Bird class has a public method called getNumOfEggs that takes zero arguments
and returns as result the bird's number of eggs. All birds have two legs. Some birds can fly (for example magpies) and
some birds cannot fly (for example ostriches).
Do not forget to change the main method of the Start class to run the unit tests of the new Bird class.
Question 4
Add a class Magpie to your program. Magpies are birds. The constructor for Magpie takes as argument only a name.
Magpies always have 6 eggs. Magpies can fly.
Do not forget to change the main method of the Start class to run the unit tests of the new Magpie class.
Question 5
Add a class Ostrich to your program. Ostriches are birds. The constructor for Ostrich takes as argument only a
name. Ostriches always have 10 eggs. Ostriches cannot fly.
Do not forget to change the main method of the Start class to run the unit tests of the new Ostrich class.
Question 6
Add a class Pegasus to your program. Pegasi are birds (a pegasus has the wings of a bird so for this lab we will assume
that pegasi are birds). The constructor for Pegasus takes as argument only a name. Pegasi have four legs (not two legs
like other birds). Pegasi can fly.
Pegasi do not lay eggs so the getNumOfEggs method of the Pegasus class should just print a message "Pegasi do
not lay eggs!" and return zero as a result.
Do not forget to change the main method of the Start class to run the unit tests of the new Pegasus class.
Question 7
Add an interface Flyer with the following UML specification:
+-----------------------+
| <<interface>> |
| Flyer |
+-----------------------+
| + getName(): String |
| + canFly(): boolean |
+-----------------------+
The Bird class implements the Flyer interface.
Change the main method of the Start class to tests magpies, ostriches, and pegasi when viewed through the Flyer
interface.
Can you test objects from the Animal, Dog, or Bird classes through the Flyer interface? Why or why not?
Question 8
Add a class Airplane that implements the Flyer interface. The constructor for Airplane takes as argument only a
name. An airplane is not an animal.
Do not forget to change the main method of the Start class to run the unit tests of the new Airplane class. Also
make sure to test it when viewed through the Flyer interface.
Question 9
Add a method isDangerous to the Flyer interface. This method returns a boolean as result, indicating whether the
corresponding object is dangerous or not. Only ostriches are dangerous.
Which classes need to be changed? Which classes do not need to be changed?
Do not forget to add new tests for the isDangerous method.

A single mother with two young children comes into a doctor's office with a medical condition that can be treated in one of two ways. The first way requires a short hospital stay and a two week recovery. It is mostly covered by her insurance, but she has no one to take care of her children during the work week and cannot really afford to miss so much work. The second way is a relatively new out-patient method that has a three day recovery. She can even come in on Friday so that she misses minimal work. However, her insurance does not cover the procedure. She asks if the doctor can do this procedure but bill it to her insurance as the one involving the longer recovery. What would you recommend the doctor do? State which method you are using from the Making Ethical decision folder. Then apply it. While some of the articles mention the same methods; there are methods that are not in all of them One example is the newspaper test.
