Description OPTION A: The concept of Filial Piety was first introduced by Confucius in his writing entitled, The Classic of Filial Piety, and has been prominent teaching in China since its publication around 400 BCE. Analyze the concept of Filial Piety and demonstrate the relationship that exists between it and "Ren" as it pertains to the teachings and beliefs that are demonstrated by the actual practices that are found in ancestral worship.  OPTION B: Some of the major issues impacting the quality of life in China today include the social and environmental damage that has come as a result of China's rapid industrialized economic success. Focus on just one of these issues (Either Social or Environmental) and then research specific examples or situations where you have discovered Taoists are actively involved in implementing their principles in China for addressing this issue.  In your response you will need to specifically identify your issue (ex: Environmental - Water Pollution), the principles of Taoism that are being implemented, whether or not you believe they are effective measures for addressing your issue, and why or why not?  

Description As quoted in our text, "The concept of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is widely accepted as a requisite in healthcare. EBP is based on the premise that health professionals should not center practice on tradition and belief but on sound information grounded in research findings and scientific development." (McEwen & Wills, 2023, p. 262). This quote perfectly encapsulates the importance of EBP in healthcare, and even as a nursing student, I recognize its immense value. While my patient interactions during clinical care are still limited, there are still ways I can integrate EBP into my learning and contribute to a culture of EBP in healthcare facilities. One approach is to actively seek out research during placements. This involves asking preceptors about the rationale behind specific protocols and medications, particularly inquiring about recent studies supporting their use. By familiarizing myself with the evidence behind current practices through actively researching common patient conditions and interventions on reputable medical databases, I can ask insightful questions and contribute meaningfully to discussions on patient care. Furthermore, participation in quality improvement initiatives is another avenue for EBP involvement. Many healthcare facilities have ongoing projects dedicated to improving patient outcomes.  An example, recent research explores the expansion of primary health nurse roles. Flinter et al. (2017) discuss the underutilization of nurses in primary health clinics and propose standardized approaches for independent nurse visits, standing orders, and reliable outcome measures for chronic illness control, hospital admissions, and patient/family satisfaction. They also highlight the need for a roadmap for billing and revenue generation for RNs in primary care, considering current financial requirements and future payment system changes. Finally, advocating for EBP within the nursing community is crucial. Discussions with instructors and experienced nurses can elevate the importance of research-based practices.  Even as a student, my voice can contribute to a culture that values continuous learning and improvement through EBP. By actively engaging with research, participating in quality improvement, and fostering communication based on evidence, I can begin applying EBP principles as a nursing student. These initial steps will prepare me to become a valuable asset to healthcare teams, ultimately contributing to better patient care and improved healthcare outcomes.

Description As you come to the end of your program, you are being asked to display the skills you have gained through your coursework through an Evidence-Based Practice Project (EBP Project). Please review the "Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal Format" document, located in Class Resources, for guideline on how you will be setting up your completed proposal at the end of the course. Pay special attention to the required appendices. Use the Picot attachment to pick a topic and then write a short message as to why you picked it. Do not include it this summary your paper.  This week, you will write a paper of 500-750 words (not including the title page and reference page) on your proposed problem description for your EBP Project. The paper should address the following Identify the problem and specify the significance and background of the problem for the organization. Identify the stakeholders/change agents. Who or what organizations are concerned about, may benefit from, or are affected by this proposal? List the interested parties, patients, learners, agencies, the Joint Commission, etc. Provide the PICOT question/statement. (Use the provided "PICOT Template.") State the purpose and project objectives in specific, realistic, and measurable terms. The objectives should address what is to be gained. This is a restatement of the question, providing focus. Measurements need to be taken before and after the evidence-based practice is introduced to identify the expected changes. Provide supportive rationale that the problem or issue is an important one in health care to resolve using relevant professional literature sources. Develop an initial reference list of at least five scholarly sources to ensure that there is adequate literature to support your EBP Project. Follow the "Steps to an Efficient Search to Answer a Clinical Question" box in Chapter 3 of the textbook. Include the completed "PICOT Template" as an appendix. The majority of references should be research articles. However, national sources, such as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), Department of Health and Human Resources (HHS), or the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and others, may be used when you are gathering statistics to provide the rationale for the problem. Once you get into the literature, you may find there is very little research to support your topic and you will have to start all over again. Remember, in order for this to be an evidence-based project, you must have enough evidence to introduce this as a practice change. If you find that you do not have enough supporting evidence to change a practice, then further research would need to be conducted. Once you receive your graded assignment, use the instructor feedback to make any necessary revisions to this section as you prepare for your final Benchmark - Evidence-Based Project Practice Proposal - Final Paper assignment, due in Topic 8. Refer to "Evidence-Based Practice Project Proposal Format," located in Class Resources, for more information.

Description Introduction For this assignment, you will have the opportunity to engage in a mock professional interview for a new job or a promotion and discuss your experiences, as well as share the presentation skills needed to be effective. Mock interviews provide candidates with an opportunity to test out their job interview skills with someone who isn't evaluating them for an actual job. Whether you are in the professional world or know others who are that might help, a mock job interview could be done with a trusted colleague, professional connection, or friend. One recommendation is to avoid conducting mock interviews with family members due to the potential of not receiving candid feedback. Activity Instructions To begin this assignment, review the How to Prepare for a Mock Interview resource and then answer the following questions in a well-written paper. Describe who you chose to conduct your mock interview with and explain why you chose this person. Explain what type of job role you chose to interview for and discuss how you prepared for your mock interview. After the mock interview, discuss your experiences with the following: Explain how you performed in your mock interview. Discuss some of your strengths and areas of opportunity gained from conducting the interview. Share whether you enjoyed the mock interview experience and if you found it beneficial to your development and explain why you feel this way. Based on your experience and from the information read to prepare for the curriculum addressed this week, what types of presentation skills do you think are essential when engaging in an interview and explain why. Discuss areas of your interviewing abilities (e.g., presentation skills, style, etc.) you would like to develop further and explain some strategies you might implement to help improve in these areas. At the end of your submission, include a brief Design Statement explaining the process and tools you used to develop your work. Your statement should be about a paragraph or so, in your own words (rather than formally written), and unique to this assignment. Why are we asking for this? Find out more about Design Statements. Tips for Success Be sure to review the required resources this week, as they will help to create the knowledge needed to effectively address the assignment. Ask your instructor any questions for clarity. Remember to include an introduction, body, and conclusion to your paper and follow proper APA formatting. See the Understanding APA and Academic Writing website for guidance.

Description Medicare is federally based health insurance for people 65 and older or under 65 with specific disabilities. Medicaid is federally-based health insurance for people in lower-income areas who cannot afford private health insurance. Medicaid assists people with limited income and resources in having access to healthcare. (D.C.D., 2022). A significant gap in Medicare is that it does not cover routine dental, vision, and hearing services. This means that people with Medicare may need to pay into secondary insurance to cover those costs. Especially for people over 65, vision and hearing change as we age, and that part of the population arguably needs the most hearing and vision coverage so they can still participate in daily life. Medicaid has a large gap that does not cover disposable items such as bandaids and adult diapers. For lower-income families and patients with disabilities, these items can be very costly. For a disabled person, families spend around $1,800 a year to buy diapers (Howe, 2018). While this may seem like a small price to pay, these families are on this insurance due to low income and have many other costly items such as physical therapy, speech therapy, and care to still pay for.  Social Security is a source of income after retirement or after an injury stopping you from working. In its original plan, Social Security benefited U.S. citizens as they had money to rely on as they retired. Still, nowadays, more and more of the public depend on Social Security to pay their bills when they don't work. While Social Security rose 28.9 million people from the poverty line in 2022, it was noted that around 35% of those people were solely supported financially by Social Security (Matsui & Anderson, 2023). While the Social Security benefits are helpful, they should be more widely supervised and don't need to be drastically modified. However, allowing them to be watched would enable fewer people to use only social security as income. It would encourage more people to attempt other income sources, such as working from home or getting a part-time job.

Description I am seeking help to revise my research project, particularly in Chapters 1 and 2. In Chapter 1, I would like to make the connection between the objectives and research questions more clear. It is important for the reader to understand how these elements are interconnected. This connection should also be addressed and emphasized in Chapter 5. Specifically, on page 66, in the second paragraph, I would like assistance in rephrasing the sentence containing "This study" to avoid any confusion or ambiguity. Moving on to Chapter 4, I would appreciate clearer and more descriptive titles for the tables used in this chapter. It is essential that readers can easily understand what each table represents. In Chapter 5, I would like to expand and include more information. This chapter holds significant importance as it provides an opportunity for me to express my thoughts, explain the significance of my findings, and discuss their implications. It is crucial to link the findings and discussion to the existing literature presented in Chapter 2. Instead of using generic subheadings like "Conclusions 1, 2, 3," I would prefer to use more specific subheadings that reflect the target audience. For example, using subheadings like "Policy Makers," "Researchers," and "Practitioners" would be more appropriate.
