HCA320 Discussion Mod 1

Overview

According to Nickitas, Middaugh, and Feeg (2019) in areas where there is a great need for primary care providers, advanced prepared nurses are in a key position to address these needs. As direct caregivers and nursing leaders, nurses possess a unique perspective on care needs of healthcare consumers. This week’s module examines advocacy in healthcare and the policy making process. Further you will explore the significance of collaboration between professional nurses, various allied health practitioners and other stakeholders, and how healthcare policies, regulations, and legislative actions influence healthcare in the United States. The focus throughout this course is how you participate, and develop competencies in health care advocacy and how you use your skills to create diverse policy solutions for healthcare consumers. You will also share how you will assume the role of a healthcare advocate committed to promoting policies that impact current healthcare issues.

Discussion Question:

An ongoing challenge for advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) has been changing state legislation that allow APRNs to practice to the fullest extent to which they were academically prepared. For this discussion question, contact the Board of Nursing (BON) in your state or access your BON online. Examine laws that govern APRNs in your state. Consider the following: do APRNs in your state have prescriptive authority; is there legislation in place that allows them to practice autonomously; and finally, if a bill has been passed and adopted, which legislator introduced the bill and who were the strongest advocates for the bill? Then post an initial response that addresses the following:

Explain how the lack of autonomy for APRNs impact patients in rural populations? As a health care professional in an advocacy role, what resources could you utilize to guide you in changing policies that impact APRNS in your state? Include in your discussion the type of stakeholders and collaborative partners you would seek to guide or assist you on this cause.

Critical Advertisement Analysis and PowerPoint Presentation

Various elements and characteristics of pop culture are often expressed in advertising. Advertising can serve numerous functions as ads often imply or produce meanings that may not have been the intentions of the advertisers and they operate on a symbolic level to affirm cultural values.

  1. Using themes and theories      covered in the course as a backdrop to critique a popular      advertisement. In your analysis,      be sure to refer to the denotative, connotative and myth meanings of the      text. 
  2. You should consider the      types of values being sold, and or the themes that emerge (i.e.      capitalism, misogyny, unity, love, hatred, oppression, patriarchy, white      supremacy, etc.) Ask yourself the      following: Is the text selling a particular vision (or stereotype) of what      it means to be male or female, young or old, in a romantic relationship,      queer, middle-class, or what it means to be a member of a particular      racial, ethnic, or otherwise marginalized group.
  3. Additionally, be sure to      discuss the details regarding the medium/outlet in which the ad was      featured and its target demographic. Remember, we are concerned with      meaning—how meanings are made, the role of communication in shaping      meaning, as well as the construction and maintenance of reality.
  4. Your paper should have a      central thesis, drawing on evidence from your text. Organize your paper around an argument      that is worth proving. For example,      pointing out that your ad, “sell its products in different ways” or that      it “depicts stereotypes” is not an argument. However, stating that your text sells      “the American dream as equal opportunity for all” is an argument worth      proving. (Continued on next page)

Assignment Details:

  1. You      must submit the actual advertisement. Copies will not be accepted nor Internet advertisements. Do not submit the entire magazine!
  2. Make      sure to type your paper in 12-point font (Times New Roman only)      double-spaced, one-inch margin top/bottom and left/right and include page      numbers. APA cover page must be      provided!
  3. This      paper should be a minimum of 5 pages in length if working alone and 7      pages if working with someone. You      must include a standard title page. (If you need to write more, please try      not to exceed 8 pages.)
  4. The      PowerPoint presentation should be 6-8 minutes.
  5. Your      grade will be based on your application of the material (adequately      demonstrating understanding course concepts), grammar, and your ability to      follow directions. Hefty reductions      will occur for grammatical errors and not following the instructions of      the assignment.
  6. You      will receive two grades for this assignment: 1) Paper and 2) Presentation.
  7. Please note, you are NOT allowed to      use anything outside of the course materials to complete this      assignment. Outside sources must be      preapproved by the instructor, use of nonapproved sources will result in a      ZERO on the assignment.

Paper Structure:

I. Introduction

A. Background Information (i.e. Role/function of advertising, medium/platform where ad was found and its target audience)

B. Overview of course concepts that are relevant to the discussion of the selected advertisement.

C. Thesis/Preview: Provide an overview of what will be discussed in the body of the paper. (Indicate the major themes that will be discussed/highlighted in the analysis).

II. Body

A. Thoroughly discuss each of the themes previewed in the introduction along with their meanings and support your ideas by citing course materials (i.e. videos, films, textbook, lecture notes and course readings).

B. Each theme/idea discussed should be at least one paragraph.

Please read carefully there are two parts one discussion spark and then actual discussion questions they need to be done separately.

Week 6: Social-Cognitive Theories

Tony grew up in an impoverished inner-city community. He was raised by a single mother and had to help with his four younger siblings. As he entered his teen years, the difficulties of living and growing up in his neighborhood began to take their toll. He was skipping school and routinely in trouble with the law. Yet a school guidance counselor recognized Tony’s innate intelligence, his talent as a leader, and his natural charisma, and intervened on his behalf.

Then what happened to Tony? As you might guess, there are many possible outcomes. Here are two extremes: By the time Tony was 20 …

… He had graduated with honors from high school and secured a scholarship to attend college. Since receiving his B.S. in Psychology, Tony has entered graduate school and is working toward an M.S. in Human Resource Management. Tony feels excited and hopeful about his future.

… He had been arrested and convicted of leading a car-theft operation, and went to prison. Since serving his time and being released, Tony has been unsuccessful in finding a job. He feels angry and hopeless about his future.

Consider the clues in Tony’s story about what you will explore as you examine social-cognitive theories of personality. What role has Tony played in how his life is turning out and how he thinks about his future? What are social influences on Tony, such as where he grew up and the guidance counselor who intervenes? How might a social-cognitive theorist explain these very different outcomes for Tony?

Your work in this final week of the course will offer answers. You will consider distinguishing features of social-cognitive theories of personality and how social origins of behavior and cognitive—or thought—processes can shape a person’s development.

Learning Objectives

Students will:
  • Analyze a personal experience from the perspective of reciprocal determinism
  • Evaluate reciprocal determinism applied to factors that influence personality
  • Apply the theory of behavior modeling to evaluate the impact of television/media viewing
  • Evaluate resources to support a position
  • Evaluate the usefulness and applicability of theories of personality for understanding human behavior
  • Demonstrate an understanding of social-cognitive theories

Discussion: Testing Reciprocal Determinism

Recall the story of Tony from the Week 6 introduction and consider the principle of reciprocal determinism, which was discussed in the reading. Your course text defines the term as “the mutual, back-and-forth effects of variables on one another; in social-cognitive theory, a fundamental causal principle in which personal, environmental, and behavioral factors are viewed as causally influencing one another” (Cervone & Pervin, 2019, p. 424). How might different personal, environmental, and behavioral factors have causally influenced both the positive and negative outcomes for Tony?

Naturally, it is difficult to answer that question about Tony because you have only so much information about him. However, someone that you know a great deal about is yourself and your own experiences. For this Discussion, you will explore the concept of reciprocal determinism by applying it to an experience in your own life.

To prepare:

  • Review the reading in the course text this week, paying particular attention to the explanation of reciprocal determinism on pp. 344 and 345.
  • Consider a personal experience you feel comfortable sharing with colleagues that you could analyze from the perspective of reciprocal determinism.
  • Think back to your response to the question of what causes personality in the Week 1 Discussion. Consider your answer from the perspective of reciprocal determinism and whether you would like to change or amend your response.
By Day 3

Post an explanation that includes the following:

  • Describe an experience in your life that demonstrates the principle of reciprocal determinism. Explain your experience in terms of the interactions of your behaviors, your personality characteristics, and the impact of your environment.
  • Based on your understanding of reciprocal determinism, explain whether your thinking has changed and, if so, how you would amend your Week 1 Discussion answer. Include your reasoning for keeping the original answer or changing it.
  • What are the most useful concepts that you will take away from this course? How have the concepts helped you in understanding human behavior and, specifically, your relationships with family and friends? How can the concepts contribute to success in your future career?

Note: Be sure to support the responses within your initial Discussion post (and in your colleague reply) with information obtained from the assigned Learning Resources, including in-text citations and a reference list for sources used. For information regarding how your Discussion will be evaluated, please review the grading rubric located in the Course Information area of the course.

By Day 5

Respond to at least one of your colleagues in one or more of the following ways:

  • Ask a probing question and provide insight into how you would answer your question and why.
  • Ask a probing question and provide the foundation, or rationale, for the question.
  • Expand on your colleague’s posting by offering a new perspective or insight.
  • Agree with a colleague and offer additional (new) supporting information for consideration.
  • Disagree with a colleague by respectfully discussing and supporting a different perspective.

Support your reply to a colleague’s post with at least one reference (textbook or other scholarly, empirical resources). You may state your opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also back up your assertions with evidence (including in-text citations) from the source and provide a reference.

Question 1

Case Study 6.1: Columbus Instruments

This case is based on a true story of a once-successful organization that had allowed its project management practices to degenerate to the point where assignment to a project team was often a mark of disfavor and a sign of pending termination.  The case involves issues of motivation, structural effects on projects, and project team staffing.  It offers students an opportunity to see how, if left unchecked, certain behaviors by department heads and others in the organization can work counter to the desires to use project teams to improve organizational profitability and instead make them a dumping ground for malcontents and poor performers.

Questions

1. What are the implications of CIC’s approach to staffing project teams?  Is the company using project teams as training grounds for talented fast-trackers, or as dumping grounds for poor performers?

2. How would you advise the CEO to correct the problem?  Where would you start?

3. Discuss how issues of organizational structure and power played a role in the manner in which project management declined in effectiveness at CIC.

Need a 1.5 pages APA format paper. No Plagiarism.

Group Observation

The purpose of this assignment is to provide you with the opportunity to observe a community meeting or any organizational group in action to determine effective structure and dynamics, as well as make noteworthy recommendations. If you are unable to attend a meeting in person, feel free to watch a meeting online.

Discuss any meeting “sins” that you may have noticed as you observed. Note any other areas you may have observed.  For example, was there a goal to the meeting? Was an agenda presented? How was the meeting managed? Was the leader effective or ineffective? Explain. Was participation among the members equalized or one-sided? Were there quiet or dominating members in the group? Was conflict managed appropriately (if conflict was present)? Any distracting nonverbal communication? Was creative or critical thinking encouraged? Recommendations at the end of the paper are required.
