The treating team or Patient advocate

Subjective: Information the patient tells the treating team or patient advocate. Symptoms, not signs. These are typically not measurable, such as pain, nausea, and tingling, hence the term “subjective” as opposed to “objective”. Normally, the practitioner is not aware of this information until the patient provides it.

Objective: Information gathered by the treating team or provider which is typically observable and measurable, hence “objective” as opposed to “subjective”. Normally, the patient is not aware of this information until the practitioner elicits it. This might include, for example, ranges of motion, body temperature, blood pressure, the presence of a skin rash or wound, comments about the patient’s posture or gait, and the results of examination procedures and testing.

Assessment: The diagnosis. This must be documented prior to the rendering or delivery of any treatment. Symptom code can be documented as assessment when pending final diagnosis such as Chest pain vs. MI.

Plan: Based on the assessment or diagnosis, the treatment or therapeutic plan must be outlined. This may include both short and long term plans. It is important to record not only passive therapy, such as an injection, a prescription, a spinal manipulation or a massage, but also active therapy such as home care advice, exercises or other recommendations. All treatment planned or delivered must be recorded.

How government policies have created Unfair advantages for whites in the past,

The film shows how government policies have created unfair advantages for whites in the past, resulting in a substantial wealth gap between whites and nonwhites. What examples of disparity exist in your community today? Will the wealth gap go away if we ignore race?

  1. In the early part of this century, Asian immigrants were not eligible for citizenship, no matter how long they lived in the U.S. What is the legacy of those laws in terms of how Asian Americans are viewed today? What role does race play in current U.S. policy on immigration and granting of citizenship? How is our idea of citizenship still tied to race?
  2. Commenting on the idea that the U.S. is a melting pot, sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva says, “That melting pot never included people of color. Blacks, Chinese, Puerto Ricans, etc. could not melt into the pot.” Think about the phrase “melting pot”—what does it imply? If this does not appropriately describe the U.S., what phrase would aptly describe the relationship between its various peoples?
  3. Central to the concept of the American Dream is the notion that anyone who works hard enough will be rewarded—that anyone can “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.” How has this been made more difficult for people not defined as white? What is the long-term impact of that denial? What difference does access to financial resources make in terms of your life opportunities?
  4. Cartoonist Bill Griffith comments on the all-white suburb where he grew up: “It certainly doesn’t promote a feeling of a wider world to live in a place where there are only people who look like you.” Do you agree? What does your neighborhood, workplace or school look like? Should geographical integration be a goal of public policy? Why or why not?
  5. Psychologist Beverly Daniel Tatum summarizes the impact of institutionalized racial policies like FHA loan practices: “To the child of that parent, it looks like, ‘My father worked hard, bought a house, passed his wealth on to me, made it possible for me to go to school….How come your father didn’t do that?’” How would you answer the child of that privileged parent? How would you explain the situation to the child of the parent who was disadvantaged by government policies?
  6. Supreme Court Justice Henry Blackmun said, “To get beyond racism we must first take account of race. There is no other way.” Do you agree? Contrast Blackmun’s statement with people who strive to be “colorblind” and judge people by the “content of their character rather than the color of their skin.” Who benefits if we adopt a colorblind approach to society? How is colorblindness different from equality?
  7. Given that race isn’t biological, should we get rid of racial categories? Why might racial classifications still be useful? If we stop tracking racial information, how will we tell if disparities still exist?
  8. How would you respond to Beverly Daniel Tatum’s closing questions in the film:
    • What can I influence?
    • How am I making this a more equitable environment?
    • Who is included in this picture and who isn’t; who has had opportunities in my environment and who hasn’t?
    • What can I do about that?

Opening a chain of bakeries in several cities within Ontario, Canada

You are opening a chain of bakeries in several cities within Ontario, Canada, with the intention of selling fresh baked bread and other baked products. You will also be serving simple, fast and fresh dishes such as sandwiches and soups. Your organization is planning to use only the freshest ingredients. Your chain of bakeries will only use locally sourced ingredients, and support the farmers of Ontario, resulting in a mutually beneficial relationship. You will offer customers all the baked goods and easily accessible menu items that are available to them in leading and contemporary bakeries and coffee shops etc. within Ontario. In addition, you intend to sell some creative items to set your business apart from the competition (for e.g. soups with interesting flavours and sandwiches designed creatively, with unique names). You will be opening 6 bakery locations at present, with a staff of 10 in each location. Thus, your total staff throughout Ontario at present will be 60 people altogether. Through voluntary self-disclosure, employees have shared that more than 50% of them have young children. About 30% are looking after their elderly parents. You are also aware that 70% of the staff will be commuting to work through driving their own automobiles, and you have become aware that some of them are worried about continuously rising parking costs and fuel costs.

To do for your video presentation:

  • Come up with a creative and interesting name for the bakery/business
  • Devise a mission statement for the business (keep in mind the 10 questions and evaluation criteria mentioned in the text, which help organizations rate their mission statements, and which also help them ascertain how effective their mission statement is.
  • You want to provide training to the wait staff  (especially waiters) to help set them apart, and help ensure that customers have a unique and great experience. Describe 3 ways in which your bakery’s wait staff would be different, in terms of their training, skills and approach towards the customers, from the staff of an average, non-specialized bakery. (For example, you can think about the differences in staff training when it comes to Tim Horton’s vs. Starbucks.) Another way to look at it: Think about what traits you would like to see in the wait staff at a bakery such as this.

 

  • As a savvy business owner, you are aware of the issues and concerns employees in Canada have regarding Work-Life Family Balance. You know some important facts such as:
  • Canadian workers are feeling more stress, caused by an insufficient salary, work overload, and a negative work environment.
  • About half of Canadian workers spend 22 hours a week on childcare, and about 25 percent spend 9 hours a week on elder care.
  • Work-life conflict negatively impacts performance, causing employees to be absent from work, reduce productivity, and increase use of benefits.

Using your analytical skills and the information shared earlier about your workforce/employees, list 5 ways in which the employer/business can help employees achieve Work-Family Balance, and address some of the challenges employees face in this regard.

The Compare and Contrast Assignment

 

Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment. The purpose of the Compare and Contrast Assignment is to take two topics of your own choice and write a 2 full page Compare and Contrast Essay using the organization techniques (Topic-by-Topic or Item-by-Item) presented in Unit 4.

 

 

 

Here are the details:

 

1. Choose two topics of your choice to compare and contrast. You are not required to do any research for this essay, so this assignment encourages you to pick topics you know about so that you can use your own knowledge to build the content of the essay. Below, there will be some examples of compare and contrast topics, but you may pick your own. Ask your instructor if you have difficulty in finding topics.

 

2. When you choose your topics, spend some time brainstorming to find three items you can compare between the two topics. The example here is how in the Unit 5 lecture notes we found the items of Cost, Size and Teachers for our Community College and University essay. Again, the items you choose will be your decision about what you would like your essay to focus on. Use your judgment of what you feel is most important to discuss between the two topics.

 

3. Decide whether to use the Topic-by-Topic pattern or the Item-by-Item pattern. Either pattern is valid, so use the one you are most comfortable with. When you decide on your pattern, create an Outline as we did in the Unit 5 notes for Community Colleges and Universities.

 

4. Be sure that your essay has an Introduction that has the four points listed in the lecture notes, not necessarily in the order given in the notes: Topic, Thesis, Attention Grabber, Signposting. (Note, if you decide to write the essay inductively by not having the thesis in the introduction but in the conclusion, that is acceptable, so in place of the thesis in the introduction, you may ask a question and/or explain the purpose of the essay).

 

5. With your outline, you will write the essay filling in all the details for each point in the outline.

 

6. Be sure to have a conclusion where you evaluate and analyze the topics. This conclusion could be more than one paragraph, and you will likely develop it after writing all the other points of the essay. Part 3 of the Unit 5 notes show how the essay evaluated and analyzed the two types of schools to question the saying “you get what you pay for.”

 

7. Include a title for the essay.

 

8. Read over the essay several times to see if you need to make any revisions. Also, proofread the essay to make corrections. It is a good idea to let at least one other person read your essay for revision and proofreading. Your reader could be a friend or family member, or it could even be someone you connect with in class. It is fine to get together with a classmate to e-mail essays back in forth for proofreading and revision.

 

 

 

The essay needs to be at least two full pages following the MLA formatting guidelines of 1-inch margins, double spacing between lines, Times New Roman 12 type.

 

 

 

Ideas for Compare and Contrast Essays: As the instructions above say, you may write your compare and contrast essay on any two topics you choose. However, here are some ideas. These are based on essays the instructor writing this page has seen over the years and ideas from when that same instructor was a student and had to write this type of essay:

 

Online Classes vs. On-Campus Classes

 

High School vs. College

 

Renting vs. Buying a House

 

After High School: Attending College vs. Going to Work Full-Time

 

Summer vs. Winter (or Fall vs. Spring)

 

Dogs vs. Cats

 

Movies vs. Books

 

Two Books compared against each other (or two t.v. shows or two movies compared against each other).

 

Standard Transmissions vs. Automatic Transmissions

 

Sons vs. Daughters

 

Two court cases (writer of this page had to compare two court cases in political science class)

 

Two different historical events (World War II vs. Civil War)

 

Playing Guitar vs Playing Bass

 

Two Restaurants compared against each other

 

Two Branches of Government (Legislative Branch vs. Judicial Branch)

 

Two Different Decades (1970’s vs. 2010’s)

 

Two Periods of Your Life (teenage years vs. young adult years)

 

You can see there are many different ideas for this essay. You may use any of these ideas or modify them in any way. It is okay to pick completely new topics. It is amazing some of the creative ideas students have come up with, and the evaluations and analysis to come out of the essays has been fascinating

Work in a limited, open-space environment

LEARN is a new (name type of business) business that has been operating for five years.  Beginning with ten employees initially, the company now has 20 full-time employees who work in a limited, open-space environment.  Many of the employees have complained that the open space working environment creates distractions, caused by excessive noise/chatter, crowding, clutter etc., that prevent them from being fully productive.  After lengthy discussion and trial runs, a work-from-home policy was developed and instituted on a pilot basis.  Six months later, it is clear to senior executives that the policy is working:  employee morale has improved and productivity levels have increased.

Responding to the scenario,

  • Write a 300 – 500-word interoffice memo addressed to all staff. Cover the following:
      1. Results of the pilot work-from-home policy;
      2. Decision made to continue with policy for the foreseeable future;
      3. Recognizes employee contribution to the success of the policy;
      4. Acknowledges benefits of the work from home policy;
      5. Reminder that work-from-home policy is an option only:
        • If it is temporary (no more one to five days away from the office);
        • If it is clear that working at home is the best way to accomplish work priorities;
        • if their job duties allow it, that is, collaboration with other team members and contact with clients are not affected;
        • The majority of their work is carried out on a computer;
        • Cybersecurity and data privacy are not concerns;
        • Direct supervisor has been given at least two days notice of request;
        • All work at home requests must be approved by employee’s direct supervisor.

Identify three Education-related issues

 

In the Looking Ahead Assignment you completed at the end of Module 3, you explored resources to identify three education-related issues. To be a change agent in the field of education, you have a responsibility to be aware of current issues and how those issues positively and negatively impact a diverse (gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.) group of key stakeholders.

For this Discussion, you will narrow the scope of each education-related issue you identified in Module 3, in order to formulate problems that merit further investigation. What are some of the problems associated with each of the issues and whose resolution might be informed by applying knowledge from existing research or conducting a new research study?

Why is it important to investigate one or more of these problems? Why is it important to consider a diverse group of stakeholders when formulating problems to explore? Identifying issues and problems early in your advanced graduate degree program allows you to build on your knowledge base related to them. Further, you will be prepared to analyze and evaluate scholarly inquiry with a critical eye.

When evaluating an issue and reflecting on ways to positively address the issue, the task, at first, might seem overwhelming. For this reason, it is important to critically examine the issue to determine the most important related problems. As you consider problems associated with an issue, you should be able to begin identifying potential research topics.

Before you can begin planning a research study for a topic, the topic must be quite narrow. When attempting to narrow a topic to a specific problem to study, you need to consider the following:

· What has already been studied in the literature?

· How much time will it take me to complete a study related to this problem?

· What stakeholder buy-in will I need to obtain to perform this study?

· What are the benefits of doing this study?

· What are the ethical considerations related to this study?

· Will I be able to recruit a diverse (gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc.) group of participants for this study?

Post how you would narrow a topic from each of the three issues by identifying a problem for each issue that can be researched. Identify one piece of key information you have discovered in a scholarly resource about each problem and use the SMRTguides instructions to create problem statements that concisely define the scope of how you will research each problem.

 

 

 

An Argumentative interpretation of an aspect

Essay 2 should be an argumentative interpretation of an aspect or aspects of one of the short stories below. These are to be read and analyzed in addition to your weekly class assignments. Each story is available as a .pdf file; perform a search for these using Google, Yahoo, or the like.

For best results, enter the story title, the author’s last name, and the abbreviation pdf.

• T. Coraghessan Boyle, “Greasy Lake” • Raymond Carver, “Cathedral” • Ralph Ellison, “Battle Royal” • Joyce Carol Oates, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” • Tillie Olsen, “I Stand Here Ironing” • Daniel Orozco, “Orientation” • George Saunders, “The 400-Pound CEO”

Limit the scope of your essay to one of these stories; each should provide plenty of potential approaches. Also read the biographical headnotes preceding the stories, which provide some insight and background. Some possible approaches are listed below. Note that these are broad approaches, only beginning points. It is your job to narrow and limit these in order to properly fit the scope of your essay. If you have another idea which isn’t listed, please check with me first.

• One or more of the literary terms we discuss as they apply to short stories (metaphor, symbol, setting, character, tone, etc.).

• Conflict(s) rooted in gender, race, age, culture, and/or economic class • Societal “norms”: how do characters function within and/or rebel against their communities? • Male/female relationships

• Manhood, womanhood: how do characters fit and not fit traditional gender roles?

• Parental roles • How male and/or female characters deal with trauma or misfortune • Family relationships • Coming of age/loss of innocence

• Narration/point of view: how does the telling style govern what story gets told? • Rituals/ceremonies and their significances: marriages, funerals, parties, etc. • A character analysis, in which you pick a character (or two) from a story that interests you and explore his/her motivations, desires, etc.

2 Discussion threads will also hopefully be a springboard for your writing; take a topic or angle we’ve broached and explore it further. But please don’t simply repeat things you’ve read in discussions; put your own stamp on them. Don’t forget you have additional sources for feedback on your work. GSU’s Learning and Tutoring Center offers online assistance with your writing at this link: https://success.students.gsu.edu/learning-tutoring-center/. Alternately, email me or post your question to the Q & A discussion in Start Here. Reminders: • The final draft of your paper should be a well-developed essay.

It should have a recognizable introduction, body, and conclusion and should have a minimum of five paragraphs, each with a topic sentence and supporting details from the work you are analyzing. The essay should also contain a thesis statement at the end of the introduction that sums up the main argument of your paper. I should be able to detect a flow and “path” to your analysis. Make sure all parts of your essay are working together.

• Specific details from your chosen story are essential to make your main points and thesis statement clear. When you write a paper of this kind, you become the teacher—you are illustrating some facet of a work of literature for an audience who doesn’t have the same insight you do. Keep your reader in mind. •

No plot summaries. The goal of this essay (as with the others) is interpretation—advancing a main point which asserts something debatable, and illustrating that main point with concrete and appropriate evidence. Rehash and summary is not interpretation.

It’s fine to explain the significance of a small portion of the story to advance the argument you are making, but plot summary will be penalized if done in excess. • As before, proper parenthetical documentation and a Works Cited page, both in MLA format, are required.

Five points will be deducted for failure to include both of these. When you quote, paraphrase, or summarize passages from a piece of prose, you need to parenthetically cite the page numbers they come from.

(And make sure you place quotation marks around exact quotes.) • Re-consult the document “Submitting Your Essays and Formatting Requirements” in the Start Here folder as you move through this process. Also re-consult the grading policy in the syllabus for details on late submissions.
