Question

Post #1: 

For this post, briefly interview a parent to ask them: “Why?”

Why or why not did they choose to vaccinate?

When did they do it? Why then?

  • Was it easy or hard financially, logistically, emotionally?

What kind of parent?

Your own parent, a relative, a friend, or yourself if you’re a parent.

Post #2: 

  • Consider your own post and compare, contrast, comment on one post made by your peer. 
  • REPLY: For this discussion post, I asked my dad of why they choose to get vaccinated. He said he chose to get vaccinated for his own safety. Also, it was a work/travel requirement. For example, when coronavirus was going around, he wanted to get vaccinated in order to prevent himself from getting sick. It being a deadly disease, he believed that getting vaccinated would be beneficial to his health as well. Since Covid-19 was a global health crisis, he also wanted to opt for vaccination to contribute to efforts in controlling the spread of infectious diseases and mitigating their impact. He said it was easy for him to get the Covid-19 vaccines financially and logistically with everything going around on the news and also it being offered for free. However, he said that emotionally it was hard for him because he could not fully trust the source of the vaccines. Also, him hearing that people are getting sick from them made him worry a lot about getting vaccinated.

Question

Case Study: 

A 65-year-old woman was just been diagnosed with Stage 3 non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was informed of this diagnosis in her primary care physician’s office. She leaves her physician’s office and goes home to review all of her tests and lab results with her family. She goes home and logs into her PHR. She is only able to pull up a portion of her test results. She calls her physician’s office with this concern. The office staff discussed that she had part of her lab work completed at a lab not connected to the organization, part was completed at the emergency room, and part was completed in the lab that is part of the doctor’s office organization.

The above scenario might be a scenario that you have commonly worked with in clinical practice. For many reasons, patients often receive healthcare from multiple organizations that might have different systems.

As you review this scenario, reflect and answer these questions for this discussion.

What are the pros and cons of the situation in the case study?

What safeguards are included in patient portals and PHRs to help patients and healthcare professionals ensure safety?

Do you agree or disagree with the way that a patient obtains Personal Health Records (PHRs)?

  • What are challenges for patients that do not have access to all of the PHRs? Remember, only portions of the EHRs are typically included in the PHRs.

LEADERSHIP THEORIES IN PRACTICE (2)

/0 Comments/in /by

QUESTION

A walk through the Business section of any bookstore or a quick Internet search on the topic will reveal a seemingly endless supply of writings on leadership. Formal research literature is also teeming with volumes on the subject.

However, your own observation and experiences may suggest these theories are not always so easily found in practice. Not that the potential isn’t there; current evidence suggests that leadership factors such as emotional intelligence and transformational leadership behaviors, for example, can be highly effective for leading nurses and organizations.

Yet, how well are these theories put to practice? In this Discussion, you will examine formal leadership theories. You will compare these theories to behaviors you have observed firsthand and discuss their effectiveness in impacting your organization.

To Prepare:

Review the Resources and examine the leadership theories and behaviors introduced.

Identify two to three scholarly resources, in addition to this Module’s readings, that evaluate the impact of leadership behaviors in creating healthy work environments.

Reflect on the leadership behaviors presented in the three resources that you selected for review.

  • Post two key insights you had from the scholarly resources you selected. Describe a leader whom you have seen use such behaviors and skills, or a situation where you have seen these behaviors and skills used in practice. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain to what extent these skills were effective and how their practice impacted the workplace.

Question

Week 2 Discussion Board Assignment: Organizational Planning/Planned Change

Choose one of the following questions to answer for this week’s discussion board. Make sure to repost the question you selected at the top of your posting.

How do you typically respond to change? Do you embrace it? Seek it out? Accept it reluctantly? Avoid it at all cost? Is this behavior like that of your friends and that of your family? Has your behavior always fit this pattern, or has the pattern changed throughout your life? If so, what life events have altered how you view and respond to change?

Try to remember a situation in your own life that involved unnecessary change. Why do you think that the change was unnecessary? What types of turmoil did it cause? Were there things a change agent could have done that would have increased unfreezing in this situation?

A brief introductory paragraph introduces the topic of the discussion. One or more succinct paragraphs are needed to answer each of the discussion board questions. Use current literature (5 years old or less) to support your views. Be sparing in your use of quotes. Learn to paraphrase the information you are sharing from a source. A paragraph at the end gives a brief summary of the discussion. The initial posting for each topic should be a minimum of 500 words in length (not including the references).
