Discussion 2: Your Leadership Profile

 

Do you believe you have the traits to be an effective leader? Perhaps you are already in a supervisory role. But as has been discussed previously, appointment does not guarantee leadership skills.

How can you evaluate your own leadership skills and behaviors? You can start by analyzing your performance in specific areas of leadership. In this Discussion, you will complete Gallup’s StrengthsFinder assessment. This assessment will identify your personal strengths. Which have been shown to improve motivation, engagement, and academic self-conference. Through this assessment, you will discover your top five themes—which you can reflect upon and use to leverage your talents for optimal success and examine how the results relate to your leadership traits.

To Prepare:

· Complete the StrengthsFinder assessment instrument, per the instructions found in this Module’s Learning Resources. ( See attachment)

· Once you have completed your assessment, you will receive your “Top 5 Signature Themes of Talent” on your screen.

· Reflect on the results of your Assessment, and consider how the results relate to your leadership traits.

 

 

Discussion Instructions

Social Change

As we near the end of the course, consider the topics we have covered these past eleven weeks. Why is the study of sociology important? Do you see any connections between changing social norms and the larger, global issues that face us today? We’ve learned about some of the complexities of social structures and interactions. Do you believe the current dynamics of our social reality has made for a better world for our children than that defined by our own parents and grandparents? If so, how? If not, what do you consider to be the most significant social changes to threaten our current way of life?

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood

POETRY: Symbolism

/in /by

After reading Chapters 15-17, respond to the prompt below:

Prompt: Consider the poems about roses (pages 887-889), and write a paragraph about each poem showing how it establishes specific symbolism for the rose. What generalizations can you draw about the rose’s traditional meanings in poetry? If you can, find other poems about roses outside of this textbook to determine if your generalizations still apply.

Your postings will be reviewed according to the following criteria:

Writing well-developed paragraphs relevant to the prompt(s) (minimum 300 words).
Be sure that your thesis is explicit and supported with one to two quotations from the literature.
Do not write in the first or second person.
Replying to two of your classmates with meaningful responses with a minimum of 30 words (do not simply write “I agree. I like what you’ve written.”)
Following the rules of Standard English. Please proofread your writing before clicking the ‘submit’ button!
When you include a quotation from the literature in your mini-essay, please place an in-text citation (also called a parenthetical citation) immediately after you close the quotation marks and before you place a period at the end of your sentence. That way, anyone in the class (including me!) can easily find the quotation in the literature if necessary. If you’re not sure what to place inside the parentheses, there is instruction in the textbook in Chapter 34- Quotation, Citation, and Documentation.
When you include in-text citations, there must be a Works Cited listing at the bottom of your post.
Be sure to follow the “Quote Sandwich” when you insert quotations.

Differential Diagnosis For Skin Conditions

/in /by

 Properly identifying the cause and type of a patient’s skin condition involves a process of elimination known as differential diagnosis. Using this process, a health professional can take a given set of physical abnormalities, vital signs, health assessment findings, and patient descriptions of symptoms, and incrementally narrow them down until one diagnosis is determined as the most likely cause.

In this Assignment, you will examine several visual representations of various skin conditions, describe your observations, and use the techniques of differential diagnosis to determine the most likely condition.

To Prepare

  • Review the      Skin Conditions document provided in this week’s Learning Resources, and      select one condition to closely examine for this Lab Assignment.
  • Consider the      abnormal physical characteristics you observe in the graphic you selected.      How would you describe the characteristics using clinical terminologies?
  • Explore      different conditions that could be the cause of the skin abnormalities in      the graphics you selected.
  • Consider      which of the conditions is most likely to be the correct diagnosis, and      why.
  • Search for      one evidence-based practice, peer-reviewed article based on the skin      condition you chose for this Lab Assignment.
  • Review the      Comprehensive SOAP Exemplar found in this week’s Learning Resources to      guide you as you prepare your SOAP note.
  • Download the      SOAP Template found in this week’s Learning Resources, and use this      template to complete this Lab Assignment.

The Lab Assignment

  • Choose one      skin condition graphic (identify by number in your Chief Complaint) to      document your assignment in the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment,      and Plan) note format rather than the traditional narrative style. Refer      to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Comprehensive SOAP Template in      this week’s Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that not all      comprehensive SOAP data are included in every patient case.
  • Use clinical      terminologies to explain the physical characteristics featured in the      graphic. Formulate a differential diagnosis of three to five possible conditions for the      skin graphic that you chose. Determine which is most likely to be the      correct diagnosis and explain your reasoning using at least three      different references, one reference from current evidence-based literature      from your search and two different references from this week’s Learning      Resources.
