Work #1:

Actual work where 2 students given their post on this:

Discuss in 500 words or more the top 5 details that should be included in your cloud SLA.

Use at least three sources. Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library not Google.

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.  

Work #2:

1) Identify and describe one of the financial measures of profitability, liquidity, efficiency, and leverage.

chapter 2 question 13

I help with raising warranty close rates for my department at work. The goal is to teach the people in my department different strategies to close the sale on warranty. Schedule is one-hour meetings twice a week, until close rates go up, there is no cost. I am in the execution phase of project life cycle right now. This project does not have a baseline plan. Me and my director of the department oversee monitoring the progress of the project by keeping track of sales ratio and close rates. An unexpected circumstance could be that not enough people raise their close rates high enough and the project would fail in turn requiring us to hire new associates. Benefits of the project include higher close rates, more money on commission checks, and more profit for the company.

In 1,500 words, describe the teaching experience and discuss your observations. The written portion of this assignment should include:

1. Summary of teaching plan – Poster presentation online to improve health literacy in teenagers
2. Epidemiological rationale for topic –  

It is estimated that one in three adults in the US have reduced health literacy. Additionally, minority populations, such as African Americans, have even greater percentages of persons lacking in health literacy. I reside in Texas where 19% of the population has low health literacy. The inability to read and understand health information is significantly correlated with reduced abilities to read and write. Furthermore, low health literacy costs the US billions of dollars each year. 

Nursing Diagnosis: Ineffective self-health management related to low health-literacy as evidenced by inability to show an understanding of a nursing care plan. 

1. Evaluation of teaching experience
2. Community response to teaching
3. Areas of strengths and areas of improvement

Consider the discussion questions below. Please begin a discussion about the benefits of hydration through “tap” water versus bottled water. Your initial comments must be at least a full solid paragraph for each question (over 50 words).  As always, be certain to respond to at least three postings of your classmates!

In the world of sports, hydration is king or queen.  The sports industry is fueled (literally) by mega-companies who spend billions of dollars to sell us an amazing fuel that stains life, heightens performance, prevents, fatigue, and helps us regulate our own body temperatures.  That’s right:  we’re talking about water!  However, in the hands of a few nutritionists and some clever marketing people, we have been duped!  We buy more water in containers than ever and we demand that the water be infused with “extras” of all kinds so we can “be better.”  Is this truly necessary?  Is bottled water/sports beverages that much better for you or are we all just victims of our own vanity?  Please respond with your opinion on this topic.  Cheers!

read all items and follow grading scale

Using supporting documentation from at least one nursing publication, describe how evidence-based practice is different from research. How would you identify a research project as being an evidence-based intervention project versus the creation of knowledge in a nursing research project?

This case study documents an ongoing interaction between a wife and her husband who live in a spacious home in a gated community. Answer the questions posted below. 1 page. 

When Dan (now 80) and Jane (now 65) began dating more than 15 years ago, both were emotionally charged to begin their lives anew. Well-educated and financially secure, they had a lot in common. Dan was a protestant minister, and Jane’s deceased husband had been a protestant minister. Both had lost their spouses. Jane’s first husband had suffered a catastrophic cerebral aneurysm 2 years earlier. Dan had conducted the funeral service for Jane’s husband. Dan’s wife had died of terminal cancer a little over a year earlier. Dan’s first wife had been a school counselor; Jane was a school teacher. Both had children in college. They shared a love for travel. Dan was retired but continued part-time employment, and Jane planned to continue teaching to qualify for retirement. Both were in great health and had more than adequate health benefits. Within the year they were married. Summer vacations were spent snorkeling in Hawaii, mountain climbing in national parks, and boating with family. After 7 years, Dan experienced major health problems: a quadruple cardiac bypass surgery, followed by surgery for pancreatic cancer. Jane’s plans to continue working were dropped so she could assist Dan to recover and then continue to travel with him and enjoy their remaining time together. Dan did recover—only to begin to exhibit the early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. One of the early signs appeared the previous Christmas as they were hanging outdoor lights. To Jane’s dismay, she noted that Dan could not follow the sequential directions she gave him. As time passed, other signs appeared, such as some memory loss and confusion, frequent repeating of favorite phrases, sudden outbursts of anger, and decreased social involvement. Assessments resulted in the diagnosis of early Alzheimer’s disease. Dan was prescribed Aricept, and Jane began to prepare herself to face this new stage of their married life. She read literature about Alzheimer’s disease avidly and organized their home for physical and psychological safety. A kitchen blackboard displayed phone numbers and the daily schedule. Car keys were appropriately stowed. It was noted that she began to savor her time with Dan. Just sitting together with him on the sofa brought gentle expressions to her face. They continued to attend church services and functions but stopped their regular swims at their exercise facility when Dan left the dressing room naked one day. Within the year, Jane’s retired sister and brother-in-law relocated to a home a short walk from Jane’s. Their intent was to be on call to assist Jane in caring for Dan. Dan and Jane’s children did not live nearby so could only assist occasionally. As Dan’s symptoms intensified, a neighbor friend, Helen, began to relieve Jane for a few hours each week. At this time, Jane is still the primary dependent-care agent. She prides herself in mastering a dual shower; she showers Dan in his shower chair first, and then, while she showers, he sits on the nearby toilet seat drying himself. Her girlfriends suggested that this was material for an entertaining home video! Although Jane is cautious in her care for Dan, she often drives a short distance to her neighborhood tennis court for brief games with friends or spends time tending the lovely gardens she and Dan planted. During these times, she locks the house doors and leaves Dan seated in front of the television with a glass of juice. She watches the time and returns home midway through the hour to check on Dan. On one occasion when she forgot to lock the door while she was gardening, Dan made his way to the street, lost his balance, reclined face-first in the flower bed, and was discovered by a neighbor. Jane has given up evenings out and increased her favorite pastime of reading. Her days are filled with assisting Dan in all of his activities of daily living. And, often, her sleep is interrupted by Dan’s wandering throughout their home. At times, when the phone rings, Dan answers and tells callers Jane is not there. Jane, only in the next room, informs him “Dan, I am Jane.” Friends are saddened by Dan’s decline and concerned with the burdens and limitations Jane has assumed as a result of Dan’s dependency.

Critical thinking activities

1. Examine this case study through the dependency cycle model. The outer arrows show a progression through varying stages of dependency. The inner circle represents who can be involved in the dependency cycle. Where are Jane and Dan in this cycle?

2. Using the basic dependent-care system model, assess Dan and Jane. Identify the basic conditioning factors (BCFs) for each. What is the effect of Dan’s BCFs on his self-care agency? Is he able to meet his therapeutic self-care demands? Continue on to diagnose Dan’s self-care deficit and resulting dependent-care deficit. Now assess Jane’s self-care system.

3. Design a nursing system that addresses Jane’s self-care system as she increases her role as dependent-care agent for Dan.
