Define the following four terms in your own words, citing at least one source: phenomena, concept, proposition, and assumptions. Review your definitions and think of an example from your day-to-day life or your practice experience that includes each of the four ideas. For example, falls in clinical practice is a phenomenon you encounter. The idea that dementia patients are at greater risk for falls is a related concept. The related proposition is that dementia is related to falling in some way. An underlying assumption is that patients with dementia do not intend to fall. Explain how all four aspects of your example work together to form the basis for a testable theory. Cite a minimum of 2 sources in-text and on an APA-formatted reference page or slide. Format your assignment as follows: 15- to 20-slide presentation with detailed speaker notes

INTERVENTION MAPPING… MUST USE ATTACHED TEMPLATE INTERVENTION MAPPING (LOGIC MODELS) RUBRICS AND DESCRIPTION Logic models are similar to concept or intervention mapping. Many visual learners physically draw and map out the model framework and theories and strategies along with the objectives and goals to help clarify and get an organized sequential map of how the program works. A sample logic model is below for an example. Concept intervention mapping and logic models are strategic ways to have a visual picture of how things work in a well planed and comprehensive program. Intervention Mapping (IM) provides a framework for effective decision making at each step for health educators planning health programs. The process includes intervention planning, implementation, and evaluation. A health promotion or communication intervention is a planned combination of theoretic methods delivered to target groups. Delivery occurs through a series of strategies planning steps keyed to the goals and objectives and organized into a program. Interventions are designed to change environmental or behavioral factors related to health. Well-defined antecedents or determinants of behavior and environmental conditions are the targets of an intervention. Specific tasks of each step and the organization of these tasks into a systematic, interrelated approach to intervention development can accommodate a wide variety of theoretical approaches.

Part 1: Discuss the background of the injury. This should be AT LEAST 1.5 pages, size 12 font, arial font, 1.5 spacing. Please do a PENDERS description of the pathology—Pathophysiology, Etiology, Natural History, Diagnosis, Epidemiology, Treatment (Rx), and Signs and Symptoms. • Pathology—what is the actual injury? What is happening to the body? • Etiology—what is the cause of the injury? Why did the injury occur? • Natural history—what is the natural progression of the injury (ex. Is it something that takes a certain amount of time to “heal”? What amount of time is that?) • Diagnosis—How is the injury medically diagnosed? (ex. Lab tests, MRI, etc.) • Epidemiology—What are the statistics? (ex. Do more men get it than women? Etc.) • Treatment (Rx.)—How is the injury treated or handled, medically or otherwise? (ex. Medically would include things such as medication, surgery, etc. Other techniques might include physical therapy, massage, etc.) • Signs and Symptoms—What are the signs and symptoms of the injury?

Jane has a reputation for being a “party animal.” She is known to begin partying after work on Friday night and close down the bars Saturday morning. During the last three months, Jane has called in sick five of the seven Saturday evenings that she was scheduled to work. The other employees have worked understaffed on what is generally the busiest night of the week, and they are becoming angry. They have asked you to talk to Jane or to staff an additional employee on those Saturday evenings when Jane is assigned to work. List at least two possible courses of action. Select one course of action and write a possible scenario to be used in the disciplinary conference. Scenario must include the following in relation to the steps of a disciplinary conference: The problem stated in behavioral terms An explanation to the employee of how the problem is related to organizational functioning A clear statement of the possible consequences of the unwanted behavior A request for input from the employee Employee participation in the problem-solving A plan for follow-up on the problem The body of this paper will be around 3 pages (750 words in length), not including the reference page. A reference page with corresponding in-text citations is required. Be sure to address all of the listed questions and criteria.

Data Mining as a Research Tool 23andMe Content Application Scenario 23andMe could be one of the largest genetic studies of our time. According to Molteni (2018), “Since the launch of its DNA testing service in 2007, genomics giant 23andMe has convinced more than 5 million people to fill a plastic tube with half a teaspoon of saliva” (para. 1). What do the customers receive? Molteni stated that “In return for all that spit (and some cash too), customers get insights into their biological inheritance, from the superficial—do you have dry earwax or wet?—to mutations associated with disease” (para. 1). “What 23andMe gets is an ever-expanding supply of valuable behavioral, health, and genetic information from the 80 percent of its customers who consent to having their data used for research” (Molteni, para. 1). Therefore, this company captures and gains access to big data that they can mine. They can also sell the mining rights; “the world’s biggest drugmakers, GlaxoSmithKline, is gaining exclusive rights to mine 23andMe’s customer data for drug targets” (Molteni, para. 1). They will have “four years of exclusive rights to run analyses to discover new drug targets” (Molteni, para. 2). 1. What ethical concerns stem from the use of this data? How is patient privacy and confidentiality protected? References Molteni, M. (2018). 23andMe’s Pharma Deals Have Been the Plan All Along. https://www.wired.com/story/23andme-glaxosmithkline-pharma-deal/

Prompt 1 Scenario You are the manager of an emergency department in a rural community-access hospital. The hospital has faced extreme budget cuts during the last two years as a result of decreased reimbursement. Your department used to be a place where nurses from around the area wanted to work, and you rarely had openings for long, even though it was necessary for the hospital to contain costs and shorten nursing care hours for use of unlicensed assistive personnel. A recent hiring freeze has accelerated worker dissatisfaction in your staff. In the last week, five of the unit nurses, all excellent long-time employees, have stopped by your office either in tears, anger, or frustration. Their various comments have included, “Working here is no longer fun,” “I used to love my job,” “I am sick and tired of working as the aide and clerk in addition to taking care of my patients,” “I am tired of having to call central supply every day to restock necessary supplies.” You know that funding will not increase in the near future, but you think that perhaps there are things you could do to make the situation better for your staff. Prompt 2: Performance Appraisals Reflect on your most recent performance appraisal and respond to the following prompts. Retrieve a copy of your current performance appraisal tool. Determine the type of tool. Describe the major components of the tool. Which component carried the most weight? Was this expected or did it surprise you? Explain. Reflect on your most recent performance appraisal interview. Describe what occurred before, during, and after the interview. How did you feel during the process? As a nurse manager, discuss how you could make the delivery of an employee’s performance appraisal a positive, rewarding experience for you and the employee. Discuss a minimum of 3 actions for each stage of the process: Before the interview, during the interview, and after the interview. Initial posts (2) should be at least 300 words each, and response posts (2) should be 150 to 200 words per post. Support your answers and peer responses with module readings. References should be formatted using correct APA style for both in-text and reference list citations. However, you do not need to worry about double-spacing or hanging indentations within the forum post, since the forum text box does not allow this type of formatting within Moodle
