    Assessment Description

    You are an RN working in the Community Outreach Department at Utopia Hospital. You have been asked to give a presentation at the local Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) Nutrition program for a group of 15 expectant mothers and interested partners/spouses/caregivers. The WIC Coordinator has asked you to provide a presentation that will cover relevant health and environmental safety topics the parents should know for the first year of life.

    In this assignment you will create a 10-12 slide PowerPoint for your presentation, with speaker notes. In developing your PowerPoint, take into consideration the health literacy level of your target audience, as well as the demographics of the expectant mothers and interested partners/spouses/caregivers (socioeconomic level, language, culture, and any other relevant characteristic of the caregiver) for which the presentation is tailored. Your presentation should be geared towards the community where you currently live taking into account local concerns that may be relevant to your presentation. Include the following in your presentation:

    1. Anticipated developmental milestones achieved in the first year of life.
    2. Safety in the home for an infant.
    3. Safety for the sleeping environment.
    4. Food and nutrition safety.
    5. When to call your pediatrician or doctor.

    Interventions and guidance should be supported by evidence-based sources. You are required to cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the past 5 years, appropriate for the assignment criteria, and relevant to nursing practice.

    Refer to the resource, “Creating Effective PowerPoint Presentations,” located in the Student Success Center, for additional guidance on completing this assignment in the appropriate style.

    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.

    This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

      1. Write a brief letter to the families describing the literacy activity. The letter should be written in a way that uses appropriate, grammatically correct language, and is easy to understand for all families.  Consider translating the letter for any non-native English speakers.  Incorporate a design and format which makes the letter engaging for families to read. (6c)

      In the letter, clearly state the purpose of the literacy activity. Families need to know that the activity is not just a way to have fun with their child. They are teaching or practicing a specific and valuable skill that is important to the child’s literacy development.  Remember to connect the home activity to the read-aloud book theme. (2b) 

      Create a reciprocal step in the literacy activity. You have given them a task to support their child’s literacy. Identify how families can return an artifact to contribute to the classroom community. This letter should be provided to families of early learning classroom for them to complete the activity at home. (2b)

              1. Which vision of the future was correct? The long-term fortunes of both Boeing and EADS depended on two contrasting strategic decisions, based on two very different assessments of the market. If EADS was correct, the market would continue to demand ever-larger airplanes.  If Boeing was correct, the current wave of jumbo jets had crested, and a new wave of fuel-saving midrange jets would soon replace them.

                Q1: (C Mitchell)

                Provide a substantive answer to the questions below.  Then respond to at least two post from your classmates.  Feel free to find, use, and cite other sources related to the Chapter topic that further support your answers.

                1. Thinking critically – does the author make any points or use specific terms throughout the Chapter that you disagree with?  If so, why?

                2. Based on your understanding of the reading…  Is a wall or fence a viable solution for securing the U.S. Southern Border?  

                3. What could a bad actor to avoid a border barrier?

                Q2:

                1.  Artifact: A recent (no older than 2020) link to a news story about an irregular operation or event at a U.S. prison (a riot, staff/inmate death, escape, etc.).

                2.  Think: Consider the criteria used to classify correctional clients, such as offense history, risk of future criminal behavior, and treatment needs. What potential challenges arise from focusing too heavily on one classification criterion over others?

                3.  Opinion: Based on your understanding, which type of correctional client (e.g., situational offenders, substance abusers, or the mentally ill) do you think presents the most significant challenge to the corrections system? Why? How could correctional facilities better address the needs of this client group ?

                Q7 (cooper)

                we discuss the use of crosstabulations (crosstabs) as a preliminary analysis to begin investigating the relationship between the IV and DV. A crosstab creates a “snapshot” of our data. Measures of association help to identify the strength and direction of the potential relationship.

                You are now going to create and post a crosstab of your variables and a measures of association table. 

                Complete the following steps:

                1. Post a brief explanation of your topic. Include your research question and a broad research hypothesis — that is, the relationship of IV to DV. (For example, educational attainment affects family income in US adults.)

                2. Run a crosstab on your variables.  Be sure to explain your findings, including a description of the table, a calculation of the epsilons, and a discussion of the 10% rule.

                3. Run the correct measure of association for your variables (Choose one – either Pearson R, Gamma, Phi, Cramer’s V or Lambda). Explain what the output means in terms of strength and direction of the relationship. Interpret Proportional Reduction of Error (PRE) using the following statement: Knowing the IV will reduce error in predicting the DV by *%.   

                Copy the crosstab and measure of association table into the discussion window or into a document (PDF, MS Word) and attach to discussion. If your table does not fit to the page, choose “copy special” and then “images” or take a screen shot of the table to copy/past into the window.

                Special note:

                When a variable is continuous (interval/ratio level of measurement), for example age of respondent, we do not run crosstabs directly because it will result in a really spread-out table with lots of zeros and low frequency cells. Such a crosstab does not help us understand the data. The correct way is to reduce the level of measurement to either ordinal level or nominal level (group the numbers into categories) by recoding and then run the crosstab. (Please refer to the Lesson Recoding in SPSS for further information.)

                As a reminder, here are the guidelines for choosing your measure of association:

                1. Both DV and IV are nominal variables: Lambda (when it is not a 2X2 table)

                2. Both DV and IV are nominal variables and it is a 2X2 table: Phi

                3. Both DV and IV are ordinal variables: Gamma

                4. One variable ordinal or interval/ratio AND the other variable dichotomous nominal (like Yes/No, male/female, etc.): Gamma

                5. One variable ordinal or interval/ratio AND the other variable nominal (not dichotomous, has more than 2 categories): Cramer’s V.

                6. Both DV and IV are I/R variables: Pearson’s r

                Q8

                Managing stress in a family today is important. Explain some of the reasons families experience stress and what are positive ways to reduce that stress?

                Are there any areas where you think parenting today, in general, is lacking? While this could be a long list, make sure you include one of these three topics in your reply-  nutrition, sleep, media availability. Please explain why?

                Support your writing with facts and outside information.  Your post cannot be solely opinion.

                Q9

                Explain why change control is considered a process.  Discuss how the critical chain method is used to control a project.  Discuss how cost control can be accomplished using contracts.  Discuss why updating project forecasts would be necessary.

                Q10

                Prisons and jails are both classified as correctional facilities, however, their missions and day-to-day operations can vary significantly. The types of offenders being held and the reasons for their incarceration are notably different. 

                Q11

                areas in which you submit police departments have been found to be defective or deficient concentrating on i.e., constitutional due process, civil rights, use of deadly force and police brutality, abuse of discretion, corruption and police-community relations. In doing so, generalize about any possible solutions to these problems and reforming the criminal justice system.

                Q12

                Q14

                 Compare and contrast these three roles. As part of your comparison, discuss the unique characteristics of each leadership style as it relates to law enforcement administration.

                 Conclude by explaining which of the three styles, in your opinion, is most effective for today’s police leaders and why you chose that particular style.

                Q15

                At University Hospital, the Database Management Systems (DBMS) administrator is responsible for creating and maintaining databases. Several departments have asked him to develop a process to keep track of all the data they document. In the past, they have had problems creating a system that modeled well and supported end-user access. The database administrator must create a way to track all the data in the organization.

                · What steps should the DBMS administrator take to ensure the information is organized and stored for easy access?

                · Explain your steps.

                Q16

                This week we will examine important health indicator rates of countries.  You will use the World Bank Data found here:   http://data.worldbank.org/indicator#topic-8.

                 

                Scroll down to the topic “Health” and choose one (1) of the following indicators:

                Adolescent fertility rate (births per 1,000 women ages 15-19)

                Maternal mortality ratio (modeled estimate, per 100,000 live births)

                Mortality rate, infant (per 1,000 live births)

                Mortality rate, under-5 (per 1,000 live births)

                Immunization, measles (% of children ages 12-23 months)

                 

                When you click on the health indicator of your choice, you will see a table with a list of 247 countries in the first column and dates in the top row.  Look at the most recent year data and choose one (1) country to compare to the U.S.

                 

                State the year, rates of the indicator you chose for both the U.S. and the country you chose, as well as the name of the country.  Include the units for the rates (ex. 6 deaths per 100,000 women) and discuss what it means and how they were calculated. Discuss the similarity/difference in these rates and why you believe the similarity/difference occurs?

                 

                Your post title should include the health indicator you chose and the country you chose to compare to the U.S. Try not to repeat indicator/country combinations as there are many to choose from; however, if you do post one that was already selected that is okay.
