Attend and report on one sporting event and one performance. The ‘live” nature of the event is important, and watching a TV version won’t suffice. I want you to experience the arena or stadium. If you are taking this course in a three-week or summer session and you are away from campus, you may wonder where you are going to find events to attend. There are a few seasonal events like a pageant, a concert, a ballet or even a high school basketball game that won’t cost you a lot. Be resourceful! We are surrounded with events during this season. Some students have tried to write from memory, but your memory often lacks the sense memories of experiencing the event live. You should focus on your personal experience: What did you see? Where did you sit? What were the sensations of sound, smell and sight? How did you react, What happened? How did the crowd respond? In what sense was it a performance? Was it worthwhile? Post your review to Canvas (300-400 words). In order to get between 90 and 100 on the assignment, you must meet the deadline and report on your attendance at two events and write a brief comment comparing the two. You must also review two of your peers’ posts and comment. These will be assigned to you automatically by Canvas. The peer reviews count for 10% of your grade. To earn between 80 and 90, you must attend and comment on one event and meet the deadline. If you don’t meet the deadline or review only one event, your grade will be less than 80%.

Assignment: Asthma

Complications of asthma can be sudden. Consider the case of Bradley Wilson, a young boy who had several medical conditions. He appeared in good health when he went to school, returned home, and ate dinner. However, when he later went outside to play, he came back inside wheezing. An ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead (Briscoe, 2012). In another case, 10-year-old Dynasty Reese, who had mild asthma, woke up in the middle of the night and ran to her grandfather’s bedroom to tell him she couldn’t breathe. By the time paramedics arrived, she had passed out and was pronounced dead at the hospital (Glissman, 2012). These situations continue to outline the importance of recognizing symptoms of asthma and providing immediate treatment, as well as distinguishing minor symptoms from serious, life-threatening symptoms. Since these symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, as an advanced practice nurse, you must be able to help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate treatment options. For this reason, you need to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation.

To Prepare

• Review “Asthma” in Chapter 27 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Consider how these disorders are similar and different.
• Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation.

To Complete

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation.
• Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

By Day 7

This Assignment is due.

Note: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center provides an example of those required elements (available at http://writingcenter.waldenu.edu/57.htm).

“Systems thinking essentially seeks to understand phenomena as a whole formed by the interaction of parts.” (Stacey, 2011). Critically appraise the above statement in relation to changing ideas of strategic thinking and explain how it exists within YOUR company’s approach to strategic management.

Assessment – Section A: Strategic Practice

The assessment for this element of the module is an essay-based piece of coursework worth 50% of the overall module grade.

Task: “Systems thinking essentially seeks to understand phenomena as a whole formed by the interaction of parts.” (Stacey, 2011)

Critically appraise the above statement in relation to changing ideas of strategic thinking and explain how it exists within YOUR company’s approach to strategic management.

A strong essay must use the key themes addressed in the first part of the module to develop the analysis, namely:

Approaches to Strategic Thinking

Systems Thinking

Complexity Perspective: New Ways of Thinking About Strategy?

Complex Adaptive Systems: Modelling Complexity

The Practice Perspective:

OOrganizationalexamples can be used to illustrate the themes covered in the essay. However, the essay is not a case study, it is a theoretical paper.

Remember that a critical study aims to provide a balanced analysis of differing perspectives, and points of view, before drawing the argument to a coherent conclusion

Required: A word processed essay with referencing to literature. The essay will be 3,000 (+/- 10%) words (inclusive of appendices, NOT inclusive of references).

In order to complete this activity you need to undertake three principal tasks:

(1) Utilize academic research using literature from journals, books, etc.

(2) Undertake a critical evaluation making effective use of evidence and sources

(3) Present findings in an appropriate format (ensure that Harvard referencing is used)

General Considerations

70+ A confident and well-written essay that answers the question and relates the ideas well. Good case studies are used and there is an awareness of key authors to illustrate points

60-69 A good essay that looks to answer the question and uses cases and authors to strengthen the discussion. The main themes are clearly addressed but there are some gaps in the answer and a little less comfort in the way that the themes are discussed

50-59 A solid essay that recognizes the question but does not use it as a thread all the way through. The main themes are covered clearly but in a more descriptive way and the links between ideas are less explored. There are examples and authors included expanding the points

40-49 The essay does not address the question directly but does provide the main aspects of the themes, but in a more ‘information dump’ manner; taking a more general approach to the topics. At the lower end of this band, there are likely to be essays that do not cover all of the main points but do look to explain the ideas covered to a degree; these are bare passes as there is an attempt to do more than just list a series of bullet points.

30-39 A weak essay that lists points related to the theme but there is no attempt at the question. Also, at the lower end, there may be essays that touch on general ideas of strategy and source them but do not provide an analysis that develops the relevant themes Less than

30 There is no clear understanding of the ideas covered in the essay and the questions are not considered at all. Examples at this level are likely to have written very general material that is very descriptive showing no sign of analysis.

Marking criteria:

(i) Introduction to the assignment describing scope, objectives, methods of investigation etc.

1. Clear structure to the essay providing the course of the analysis
2. The essay should display a coherent introduction; analysis & conclusion

(ii) Identification of key areas

1. The main themes Approach to Straetgy, Systems Thinking, Complexity, Adaptive systems, and Strategy as Practice principles need to be clearly addressed within the structure of the essay
2. Establishing the traditional ideas of strategy as a basis to work from can help structure the analysis. Impacts of systems thinking should be brought in to illustrate the themes covered, notably Adaptive Systems and The Practice Perspective
3. The links between the main themes must be explored and critically understood in the stronger pieces of work
4. The shift from thinking of individual actions to systems as a collective action must be addressed in order to answer the set question
5. Essays should avoid unnecessary description of the themes, particularly the activities covered in Soft Systems Methodology and Strategy as Practice thinking

(iii) Application of theory

1. Clear awareness of the relevant authors in developing the analysis of the main themes e.g. Checkland, Whittington, Jarzabkowski, Mintzberg, Wilson, etc.

(iv) Structured analysis

1. The essay needs to display a coherent analysis drawing the themes together in order to explore the question in a relevant way
2. The essay is not meant to be separate sections that should be left to the conclusion to link. Weaker essays will fall into this pattern

(v) Creativity of thought

1. The essay needs to display a clear analysis drawing on the main theory being explored to display the comfort with the ideas being covered
2. Examples from organizations can be effective in illustrating the thought of the analysis

(vi) Presentation of a document including clarity of expression and referencing.

1. The essay must be clearly set out and well written
2. Avoidance of confusing arguments and messy content e.g. overly long sentences
3. Consistent Harvard referencing is essential to support the analysis

Critically evaluate the application of leadership theories to a leader in an organizational context (e.g. a company of your choice) and management theories to a contemporary organization.

BS4S16 Leadership & Management Theories Assignment Brief

 

You are required to complete one assignment to test the following module learning outcomes:

1. Critically evaluate the development of leadership and management theories;
2. Critically appreciate the nature of leadership and management theories and their application in a range of leadership and management settings.

 

1. Assignment Question

Critically evaluate the application of leadership theories to a leader in an organisational context (e.g. a company of your choice) and management theories to a contemporary organisation.

2. Guidance

2.1 Structure

 

Students will decide on the appropriate structure and content but we would expect to see the following elements:

• Introduction (explaining the purpose and structure of the report):

o the terms of reference for the report in general, the theoretical area and focus of your report and approach taken (including method(s) used);

o setting the context (background to sector, organisation, organisational structure, culture etc.).

o Structure of the report.

 

• Main body of the assignment (with subheadings for easier navigation & professionalism):

o Contextual discussion of the broader development of leadership or management theory as appropriate to the chosen topic for critical evaluation;

o critical evaluation of leadership or management theories see http://studyskills.southwales.ac.uk/tabs1/analysing/;

o application of critiqued theory to evidenced practice within the selected contemporary organisation;

o evaluation and commentary on the fit (or lack of fit) between your critiqued theory and practice as evidenced.

 

• Conclusions:

o Your conclusions should relate to the terms of reference for the report (in other words you should be reaching conclusions about theory, practice and the fit between theory and practice).

2

 

2.2 Additional guidance

• This is an individual assessment, not a group task.
• You may use either a leader or an organisation depending on whether you are looking at leadership theory or management theory. If you are choosing an organisation, it is a good idea to choose one with which you are familiar. It is often advisable to use your own organisation where possible as you will often have better access to information. Remember you are required to present evidence not make assertions about practice.
• If you use your own organisation, then you may wish to seek a sponsor for your work who can help you to navigate access to documentation. If you are using confidential sources then clearly mark your work as confidential on the front cover.
• You must be ethical in your approach to your work at all times. Your document will be entered onto a global database (Turnitin) so bear this in mind. Your sponsor/boss may ask to read your work;
• If you are not currently working then ensure that you choose a leader or an organisation where there is good access to information in the public domain;
• Whether you are looking at a leader or an organisation, you need to identify relevant practice. In the case of a leader this may relate to their traits and behaviours. Things that they have said and done. In relation to your organisation you need to be looking at the policies and approaches of organisations. You need to provide suitable EVIDENCE (which is normally referenced). For example, classical and human relations approaches to management have different conceptions of motivation, incentives and rewards, ways of organising work and tasks etc. How are these reflected in company policies? Do not fall into the trap of making assertions. You should only be giving your personal opinion here in exceptional circumstances and if it is your opinion, make this clear to the reader.
• Remember to use a range of sources of information from both internal and external sources to build up the reliability of your evidence;
• In your introduction you should BRIEFLY state your methodology. This will normally involve secondary research only but in exceptional cases, depending on your chosen theoretical focus, you may hold interviews with relevant staff if considered appropriate. You are advised to discuss this with your tutor. You may also use your own observations i.e. reflective practice. Remember to reference this section of your report.
• Academic Literature should be sourced from a range of textbooks and peer reviewed journal articles. A limited range of readings are made available. Start off with the lectures provided, then consult text books, to give you a framework from which to build your understanding. Do not use literature from unreliable sources like Wikipedia, Businessballs, online study sources. It is essential that you are read peer reviewed journal articles to build your critical evaluation;
• Use the University’s Harvard referencing system as per University regulations (see http://studentlibrary.southwales.ac.uk/referencing/.

3

 

Further general guidance on approaching your assignment work in the module is provided in the Module Handbook and you are strongly advised to read this prior to commencing your assignment work.

2.3 Presentation

Your work should:

Be presented using 12 pt Arial font and double line spacing; Follow best practice in relation to report writing (see http://studyskills.southwales.ac.uk/tabs1/reports/);

Use different headings and sub-headings to provide clarity to your work with a supporting numbering system;

You are encouraged to provide different figures (tables, diagrams etc.) as appropriate. They should be clearly numbered and included on the contents page. They should be used to illustrate a point but NOT to make a point;

Do not include any appendices as they will NOT be read;

Be your own independent work and free from plagiarism by ensuring that work is clearly referenced;

Use Harvard style citation and referencing using the University’s published guidelines;

Be written in appropriate academic style. You are advised NOT to discuss the theory, then the practice and then the fit. An integrated approach whereby you critically evaluate a section of theory, apply it to practice and then discuss the fit works best as your reader will be able to follow your discussion more easily.

Be professionally presented. You may wish to consider writing out your practice elements in italics so it is easily identified and use an emboldening technique to link theory and practice; Have a good standard of written English and been spell checked and proof-read;

Have a clearly labelled front page detailing the module code and title, title of the assignment, tutors name, your name and enrolment number and the date of submission;

.

3 Submitting Your Work

• The assignment script must be submitted electronically via ‘Turnitin’ by the last day of week 8, Sunday 2300 hours, UCT. All scripts are automatically processed via Turn-it-in upon submissions in the VLE.
• Each submission is final and no further changes are allowed on the script’s content. There is no multiple submissions function and therefore students cannot check the originality score and make changes.
• Please note that tutors will not be able to pre-assess draft assessments.
• The maximum word for the assessment is 6,000 words, +/- 10%. This word count does not include any appendices (which you should not need to any extent as all salient points should be in the body of your report) but excludes the words in the reference list. This word count must be adhered to.
• The University’s late submission policy will be adhered to (see xxx for details).

4

 

 

• Late assignment submissions: a late submission (up to 5 days after the assessment deadline) is capped at a grade of 40 (passing Grade). Submitting an assignment after the 5 day limit, results to a grade of 0.
• If there are circumstances preventing you from submitting your assignment or you want to requests an extension you should email at extenuating.circumstances@unicaf.org to complete the extenuating circumstances form. Tutors are not responsible to grant extensions to students.

Assignment: Application: Planned Changein a Department or Unit

Health care organizations are continuously immersed in change from the emergence of new policies, to promote quality care and improve patient safety to keeping pace with the rapid growth in knowledge and best practices. Establishing a solid framework for planning and implementing change is a wise move, as it provides a foundation for the extensive coordination that will be needed to successfully facilitate the change.

 

For this Assignment, you propose a change at the department or unit level and develop a plan for guiding the change effort.

 

To prepare:

 

Review Chapter 8 in the course text. Focus on Kurt Lewin’s change theory, and contrast it with other classic change models and strategies.

Reflect on problems, inefficiencies, and critical issues within a specific department, unit, or area in your organization or one with which you are familiar. Select one issue as a focal point for this assignment, and consider a change that could be made to address the issue.

Think about how the change would align with the organization’s mission, vision, and values as well as relevant professional standards.

Using one of the change models or strategies discussed in Chapter 8, begin formulating a plan for implementing the change within the department/unit. Outline the steps that you and/or others should follow to facilitate the change effort. Align these steps to the change model or strategy you selected.

Determine who should be involved in initiating and managing the change. Consider the skills and characteristics that are necessary to facilitate this change effort.

To complete:

 

By Day 7

 

Write a 3- to 5-page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

 

Identify a problem, inefficiency, or issue within a specific department/unit.

Describe a specific, realistic change that could be made to address the issue.

Summarize how the change would align with the organization’s mission, vision, and values as well as relevant professional standards.

Identify a change model or strategy to guide your planning for implementing the change. Provide a rationale for your selection.

Outline the steps that you and/or others would follow to facilitate the change. Align these steps to your selected change model or strategy.

Explain who would be involved in initiating and managing this change. Describe the skills and characteristics that would be necessary to facilitate the change effort.

Assignment: Disorders of the Veins and Arteries

Advanced practice nurses often treat patients with vein and artery disorders such as chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT). While the symptoms of both disorders are noticeable, these symptoms are sometimes mistaken for signs of other conditions, making the disorders difficult to diagnose. Nurses must examine all symptoms and rule out other potential disorders before diagnosing and prescribing treatment for patients. In this Assignment, you explore the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation of CVI and DVT.

 

To Prepare

Review the section “Diseases of the Veins” (pp. 598-599) in Chapter 23 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Consider the similarities and differences between these disorders.

Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.

Review the “Mind Maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for venous thrombosis. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis.

To Complete

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

Compare the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. Describe how venous thrombosis is different from arterial thrombosis.

Explain how the patient factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of CVI and DVT. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.

Construct two mind maps—one for chronic venous insufficiency and one for deep venous thrombosis. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.
