Motivation and Behavior

You are in charge of developing a team-building activity to improve  collaboration and increased communication for your team members. You are  the newly promoted manager. Your department is closing for the day so  you have four hours together in a team environment.

Review the following details of team members:

  • Rosanna (46) and Mary (20) are two staff members who do not get  along. Rosanna is quiet and a loner. Mary is outspoken, and talks about  her personal life to friends.
  • Cindy, (35), and Lolita, (40), are part-time staff. They are  stressed due to economy. They interact with full time staff, but full  time staff think they complain too much and shouldn’t because they are  part time
  • Chip is a twenty-three-year-old maintenance worker who works  part-time job at night, in addition to full-time role. He is often  tired.
  • Samir is fifty-five, works full-time, and cannot wait until retirement.
  • Sarah (52) is a negative department manager who complains. She is a strong informal leader and has influence over the group.
  • Jerry is twenty-four and in graduate school. He has a positive  attitude and is not motivated because no one likes to work together.

You need to divide the team into three groups. Remember this is a team-building activity.

  • How will you make the determination which members to put together?
  • Should members, who have a negative attitude, be placed with members who are positive? Why or why not?
  • How will a negative manager affect the overall group dynamic as opposed to a positive leader who wants to see the team develop?
  • How influential can an informal leader be among team members?
  • What barriers to effective teamwork can you anticipate and how will it be addressed?

Submission Details:

  • Support your responses with examples.

How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and suffering? Is there a “why” to  his disease and suffering?

/in /by

Nursing homework help

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and acceptance of a diversity of faith expressions.

The purpose of this paper is to complete a comparative ethical analysis of George’s situation and decision from the perspective of two worldviews or religions: Christianity and a second religion of your choosing. For the second faith, choose a faith that is unfamiliar to you. Examples of faiths to choose from include Sikh, Baha’i, Buddhism, Shintoism, etc.

In your comparative analysis, address all of the worldview questions in detail for Christianity and your selected faith.  Once you have outlined the worldview of each religion, begin your ethical analysis from each perspective.

In a minimum of 2,000 words, provide an ethical analysis based upon the different belief systems, reinforcing major themes with insights gained from your research, and answering the following questions based on the research:

  1. How would each religion interpret the nature of George’s malady and suffering? Is there a “why” to  his disease and suffering? (i.e., is there a reason for why George is ill, beyond the reality of physical malady?)
  2. In George’s analysis of his own  life, how would each religion think about the value of his life as a person, and value of his life with ALS?
  3. What sorts of values and considerations would each religion focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?
  4. Given the above, what options  would be morally justified under each religion for George and why?
  5. Finally, present and defend  your own view.

Support your position by referencing from lectures, the Bible, and the textbooks for each religion. Each religion must have a primary source included. 

A total of six references are required according to the specifications listed above. Incorporate the research into your writing in an appropriate, scholarly manner.

Diagnosis of With Asthma

Nursing homework help

 

Asthma is a chronic lung disease caused by inflammation of the lower airways and episodes of airflow obstruction. Asthma episodes or attacks can vary from mild to life-threatening. In 2007, about 7% percent of the U.S. population was diagnosed with asthma and there have been a growing number of new cases since that time. There are several known risk factors identified as triggers of asthma symptoms and episodes, including inhalation of allergens or pollutants, infection, cold air, vigorous exercise, and emotional upsets. There is also growing evidence relating body-mass index to asthma in both children and adults. Design a study to investigate whether there is such an association.

Choose a study design and justify the reasons you chose the design over others.

Select a statistical measure you would use to describe the association (if there is one) between body mass index and asthma.

In addition, address:

  1. Subject selection
  2. Issues relating to the measurement of both the exposure and the outcome
  3. Potential biases that the study might be prone to, and how they might be handled
  4. Possible confounding factors and effect modifiers and how to overcome their effect

Present the information in a 750-1000-word report, using section headings where each requirement is described and justified under each of the following headings: Study Design, Statistical Measures, Subject Selection, and Measurement Issues.

Refer to the “Key Elements of a Research Proposal.”

You are required to use a minimum of three scholarly resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
