Interpersonal Communication Affect Health

I’m working on a Health & Medical question and need guidance to help me study.

 

Attached is the assignment. Please follow the prompt to the tee. and cite all sources

Post Part 1

How does interpersonal communication affect health? In your response, consider these components of effective interpersonal communication:

Recognizing we all communicate and do so via multiple channels

Using communication to express wants, needs, feelings

Effectively communicating to resolve or avoid conflict

Being an active and engaged listener

Support your opinion with personal experiences, a current news event, or facts/statistics. (If citing a current news event or facts/statistics, cite your source in APA format.)

Post Part 2

Why is it important to teach interpersonal skills to emerging adolescents? In what ways does their learning of interpersonal skills empower them? Read the article below and use direct quotes from it to support your responses. [

Why is it important to teach interpersonal skills to emerging adolescents? In what ways does their learning of interpersonal skills empower them? Read the article below and use direct quotes from it to support your responses. [Here is an example of an in-text citation (Hair, Jager, & Garrett, 2002). No reference list is needed.] Also, provide examples using one of this lesson’s focus, sexual health.

Also, provide examples using one of this lesson’s focus, sexual health.

Hair, E.C., Jager, J., & Garrett, S.B. (2002). Helping teens develop healthy social skills and relationships: What the research shows about navigating adolescence. (LINK)

Post Part 3

Consider the five steps for developing a skill: 1) Introduce the skill, 2) Present the steps of the skill, 3) Model the skill, 4) Practice and rehearse the skill, and 5) Provide feedback and reinforcement.

Imagine you are teaching a group of 5th or 7th graders about using interpersonal communications skills in the context of romantic/sexual relationships. Choose the grade-appropriate set of skill cues for NHES 4 (look for these in the content folder called Resources) and describe how you could implement Step 4 Practice and Rehearse the Skill using participatory methods. (Recall from the previous lecture video, participatory methods are interactive strategies that engage students in the material and provide opportunities to practice and apply the material. Examples include class discussions, role-plays, group work, student presentations, Socratic seminars, partner work, and inquiry-based learning.)

Leadership Legacy Self Assessment

I need help with a Health & Medical question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

 

a legacy is more than a link to a position or place in an organization. A legacy comes from the idea that everyone, regardless of position, can make a difference. Thinking about legacies requires moving beyond short-term definitions of success. Legacies encompass the past, present and future, and force us to consider where we have been, where we are now and where we’re going. A quest to leave a lasting legacy is a journey from success to significance. By asking ourselves how we want to be remembered, we plant the seeds for living our lives as if we matter. By living each day as if we matter, we offer up our own unique legacy. By offering up our own unique legacy, we make the world we inhabit a better place than we found it….(Kouzes & Posner, 2006, p. 1).

Think about it…what do you want your legacy to be?

In preparation for the assignment, read the book summary for A Leader’s Legacy (Kouzes & Posner, 2006) I have already uploaded for you. You might also want to do an internet search of leadership legacies. There is a lot out there!

Next, you will actually complete an online leadership legacy self-assessment. I have already uploaded my leadership legacy self-assessment results.

After you complete the self-assessment, you are to write a paper that addresses:

  • A summary of your leadership style assessment results (Slide 3 refers to what you will want to look at after you complete your self-assessment). Do not submit your actual numeric results but for this part of the assignment, you may want to consider what your characteristics indicate about the type of leader you are, what your strengths and weakness are, what your opportunities are, etc. You are to reflect and analyze what those results mean about your leadership style.
  • A discussion of the next steps (Slide 4 refers to what to look at after the self-assessment results). Complete those next steps. You will want to address the overarching points, but you don’t need to specifically respond to each question as these are included to help you think. What type of legacy are you building? What kind of leadership legacy do you want to leave?

Paper is to be 3-4 pages plus a cover page and reference page.

This is an APA paper (cover page, reference page, references and citations, double spacing, left justification, etc.) but an abstract is not necessary.

Turnitin is enabled for this assignment so please do not copy and paste.

Influencing Quality Within Healthcare Worksheet

I’m working on a Health & Medical exercise and need support.

 

NSG/468: Influencing Quality Within Healthcare

Multifactorial Medication Mishap Case Study:

The Case A previously healthy 50-year-old man was hospitalized while recovering from an uncomplicated spine surgery. Although he remained in moderate pain, clinicians planned to transition him from intravenous to oral opioids prior to discharge. The patient experienced nausea with pills but told the bedside nurse he had taken liquid opioids in the past without difficulty. The nurse informed the physician that the patient was having significant pain, and liquid opioids had been effective in the past. When the physician searched for liquid oxycodone in the computerized prescriber order entry (CPOE) system, multiple options appeared on the list —two formulations for tablets and two for liquid (the standard 5 mg per 5 mL concentration and a more concentrated 20 mg per mL formulation). At this hospital, the CPOE system listed each choice twice, one entry with the generic name and one entry with a brand name. In all, the physician saw eight different choices for oxycodone products. The physician chose the concentrated oxycodone liquid product, and ordered a 5-mg dose. All medication orders at the hospital had to be verified by a pharmacist. The pharmacist reviewing this order recognized that the higher concentration was atypical for inpatients but assumed it was chosen to limit the volume of fluid given to the patient. The pharmacist verified the order and, to minimize the risk of error, added a comment to both the electronic medication administration record (eMAR) and the patient-specific label that the volume to be given was 0.25 mL (5 mg). For added safety, the pharmacist personally retrieved, labeled, and delivered the drug and a calibrated syringe to the bedside nurse to clarify that this was a high concentration formulation for which the volume to administer was 0.25 mL (a smaller volume than would typically be delivered). Shortly thereafter, the nurse went to the bedside to administer the drug to the patient for his ongoing pain. She gave the patient 2.5 mL (50 mg) of liquid oxycodone, a volume that she was more used to giving, and then left for her break. A covering nurse checked on the patient and found him unconscious—a code blue was called. The patient was given naloxone (an agent that reverses the effect of opioids), and he responded well. He was transferred to the intensive care unit for ongoing monitoring and a continuous infusion of naloxone to block the effect of the oxycodone. By the following morning, the patient had returned to his baseline with no apparent adverse effects.

1. Complete the attached root cause analysis worksheet to analyze the case.

2. Write a 525 word-summary in APA format in which you:

  • Explain in depth why a root cause analysis was appropriate for this situation.
  • Analyze the impact of using tools like RCA, FMEA, and PDSA on the quality and safety of patient care.

Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed or evidence-based sources published within the last five years to support your summary in an APA-formatted reference page.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Appendectomy Case Study

I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

Identify 4-5 medical terms used in the Case Study or that could be associated with the story and then define the terms.
If you were a healthcare worker caring for the woman in the Case Study before her surgery what information from the story would you provide in report or a handoff to your colleague as you finish your shift. If you aren’t familiar with the process of a hand-off that’s ok just summarize the important information in any format you like. For example, in bullets, a paragraph, etc

REFLECTION QUESTION: Why do you think the woman in the Case Study decided not to have the surgery when her surgeon initially recommended it? Provide your answer in 1-2 well-written paragraphs.

Student has agreed that all tutoring, explanations, and answers provided by the tutor will be used to help in the learning process and in accordance with Studypool’s honor code & terms of service.
