Discuss how you would set up an investigation that promotes the problem-solving stages. Make sure to include what topic you choose and how the students will meet each of the problem-solving stages.

The Importance of the Cell in Human Health
this is discussion 1-The cell is the basic unit of life. It is a highly organized structure composed of numerous organelles, cytoplasm, skeletal structures and surrounded by a plasma membrane. Each of these structures has their own specific functions that allow the cell to survive. In addition, cells need to communicate with each other. In multi cellular organisms, cell to cell communication is necessary for development and function of organs and organ systems. Dysfunction of cellular components and/or cellular communication may not only affect the individual cell but may affect the entire organism resulting in a clinical disorder.

Respond to the two topics below for this unit’s Discussion. Then, throughout the week, review your classmates’ posts and comment as appropriate on at least two other posts per the Discussion Guidelines.

1. The cell consists of numerous organelles and structures surrounded by the plasma membrane (e.g., lysosomes, mitochondria, etc.).

Select one of the following human disorders that are a result of cellular dysfunction.
Parthenogenesis type 1A
Barde-Biddle Syndrome
Emery-Dreyfus muscular astrophysics
Gaucher Disease
Hutchinson-Gifford Progenitor Syndrome (HIPS)
Lebesgue hereditary optic osteopathy
Leigh’s Disease
Riemann-Pick type C
Primary Cilia Duskiness
Pope Disease
Bellwether Syndrome
Then include the following for each disorder:

Describe the symptoms/outcomes of the disorder.
Identify the organelle that is affected.
Discuss the normal function of this organelle and how its function is disrupted.
What conclusions can you draw about the importance of this organelle in the cell?
Based on what you have learned about cell structure, predict how a cell from this disorder would look like under the microscope.
Based on the cell biology, what options do you have to treat the disorder?
2. Cells need to communicate with each other in order for organs and organ systems to develop and function. There are multiple mechanisms by which cells communicate with each other. Circulating hormones (endocrine system) allows communication over long distances between multiple cell types. Paraclete signaling offers local communication between cells. Finally, gap junctions allow communication between adjacent cells.

Select one of the following human disorders:
Crushing Syndrome
Localized Cancers
Depression
Then include the following for each disorder:

Describe how cellular communication is disrupted.
Hypothesize how you would correct the communication error.
What conclusions can you draw on the importance of cell communication in the human body?
reference please 200 250 words for each one and thanks again

The Problem Solving Cycle
this is discussion 2-You have learned about the problem-solving cycle throughout Unit 3. For this Discussion, choose science content such as rocks, seeds, clouds, leaves, or water, and then complete the following:

Discuss how you would set up an investigation that promotes the problem-solving stages. Make sure to include what topic you choose and how the students will meet each of the problem-solving stages.
Explain how children problem solve and how this investigation in particular helps them to develop their problem-solving skills.
What is your problem solving style? Explain how this will affect your student experiences and your classroom practices?
Create an Early Childhood game that relates to math and/or science that will enhance problem solving skills. Make sure to share the materials, directions, and other important components.

Write 4-5 pages that compare and contrast the healthcare reform policies of the state where you reside and another state of your choice.
Healthcare Reform in Two States

Description

Part I: The world is becoming smaller and smaller and when companies look to expand they often look outside their original footprint. Rasmussen Healthcare Systems is looking to expand their system to another state. To help advise Rasmussen on this decision, you will write 4-5 pages that compare and contrast the healthcare reform policies of the state where you reside and another state of your choice. Please keep in mind the position and facility you selected. Make sure to include the following:

Discuss the purpose of each state’s reform.
Describe a minimum of three specific examples of similarities and differences in healthcare reform policies in the two states.
Discuss in detail some of the ethical issues and moral disputes in each state’s reform.
Discuss your recommendation on whether Rasmussen Healthcare Systems should expand to the second state.
This portion of your assignment will require you to research and examine information from various sources. Use a minimum of five credible sources for your paper, with three being an academic source from the Rasmussen College Online Library (don’t forget to include in-text citations throughout your paper with paraphrasing or quoting).
Make sure to include your APA formatted reference page.

Part II: PowerPoint is typically the application of choice when conducting a meeting. There are many philosophies on how to create an effective PowerPoint, so do some research on the dos and don’ts. Then create a professional PowerPoint that you would present to the management team at your location that highlights your research. SkillSurfer in the online tutoring platform offers beginner, intermediate, and advanced tutorials on Microsoft Office products. Make sure to include the following in your PowerPoint:

Length of PowerPoint is up to the student.
Highlight specific policy changes in each state’s reform.
Highlight each similarity and difference.
Highlight your final recommendation on whether Rasmussen Healthcare Systems should expand to the other state.
Use the Notes area on each slide as needed to expand on the key points.
You may use a free screen capture site such as Screencast-O-Matic to record a video of your presentation. Screencast-O-Matic is a site and program that can perform screen desk and audio capture up to 15 minutes for free, and can be utilized on a Windows or Mac computer. (Note: You can use a similar program if you prefer. Screencast-O-Matic is just one suggestion). Make sure that both your voice and the PowerPoint slides are captured on the video. Your presentation should be 10 minutes or less.
If you are utilizing the Screencast-O-Matic option, please watch this short instructional video on how to record, upload, and provide your instructor with the web link to your recorded presentation. If you would like to present your PowerPoint document within a live session, please reach out to your instructor for more details.
Your presentation should include an introduction, a concise discussion of each slide, and a conclusion. Make sure to use audience specific language and tone in your PowerPoint. Remember, you would be presenting this to the management team at your location. The presentation will be assessed on your overall knowledge of the content, clarity of your voice, pronunciation of words, organization of your presentation, proper recording of your presentation, overall aesthetics and professionalism, and general clarity to your presentation.

Your presentation should be 10 minutes or less. Make sure to address the following:

Include a link to the location of your live video on the last slide of your PowerPoint presentation.

Throughout this degree program,you have been exposed to many great leaders in nursing and healthcare. Reflect on the leadership demonstrated by individuals such as Dr. Maggi McClure, Dr. Diane Mancino, Dr. Karen Drenkard, Ms. Joan Marren, Dr. Leslie Mancuso, Maria Manna, and Dr.Kenneth Rempher. Great leaders share common characteristics. As you have heard in this week’s media presentation, leadership skills can be learned and developed. The first step in developing leadership skills is increasing yourself-awareness of your leadership qualities and abilities. This can help you evolve and develop your leadership abilities. In order to be an effective leader,you must find a style, or styles, that meet both your needs and those of the institution. Complete at least one of the following assessment inventories.
• Gallup Strength Finders
• Myers-Briggs
• DiSC
Reviewyourassessment results, and determineyourleadershipstyle,strengths, and growing edges. Consider howyourleadershipstrengthsaredemonstratedinyournursingpractice. Then, review the list of leaders presented below.
• Winston Churchill
• Margaret Thatcher
• Eleanor Roosevelt
• John F. Kennedy
• Martin Luther King, Jr.
• Mahatma Ghandi
• Rudy Guiliani
• Abraham Lincoln

WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF PRACTICE THAT HAVE GIVEN THE FIELD OF NURSING A UNIFYING FOCUS OVER TIME?

What are the dimensions of practice that have given the field of nursing a unifying focus over time?
Imogene King dedicated her life to the profession of nursing, and aimed to create “a conceptual frame of reference for nursing”. In the end, her Theory of Goal Attainment was conceived and she helped to identify several complex interactions that exist in the nurse-client relationship. Similarly, the Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing reflect the various responsibilities and competencies nurses who are masters-prepared are expected to complete and do so safely. As such, students must work towards becoming familiar with the essentials and begin to utilize them as a source of reference for guiding learning and practice. Review the Essentials of Master’s Education document that can be found under the Class Resources tab above Lectures and please examine, Essential IV:Translating and Integrating Scholarship Into Practice, as you reflect and address the following questions:
How would you answer the questions below that were posed by King based on what you know about current nursing practice?
What is the scope of practice of nurse practitioners, nurse educators and nurse leaders, and in what kind of settings do these nursing professionals perform their functions? Are the current goals of nursing similar to those of the past half century? What are the dimensions of practice that have given the field of nursing a unifying focus over time? How important will it be for master’s prepared nurses to be knowledgeable in translating research into practice as our healthcare system stands to undergo significant policy changes in the near future that may leave millions of Americans uninsured and without proper medical care?

Consider the ethical responsibility of nurses in ensuring patient autonomy, beneficence, non-malfeasance, and justice.

As emphasized in this weeks media presentation, all nurses need to be familiar with the laws and regulations that govern their practice: their states Nurse Practice Act, ANAs Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, specialty group standards of practice, etc. In addition, basic ethical principles guide nurses decision-making process every day. ANAs Code of Ethics and ANAs Social Policy Statement are two important documents that outline nurses ethical responsibilities to their patients, themselves, and their profession. This said, there is a dilemma: The laws are not always compatible with the ethical positions nurses sometimes take. This weeks Discussion focuses on such a dilemma.
To prepare:
Review this weeks Learning Resources, focusing on the information in the media presentation about the relationship between the law and ethics.
Consider the ethical responsibility of nurses in ensuring patient autonomy, beneficence, non-malfeasance, and justice.
Read the following scenario:

Lena is a community health care nurse who works exclusively with HIV-positive and AIDS patients. As a part of her job, she evaluates new cases and reviews confidential information about these patients. In the course of one of these reviews, Lena learns that her sisters boyfriend has tested HIV positive. Lena would like to protect her sister from harm and begins to consider how her sister can find out about her boyfriends health status.
Consult at least two resources to help you establish Lenas legal and ethical position. These resources might include your states Nurse Practice Act, the ANAs Code of Ethics, ANAs Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice, and internal or external standards of care.
Consider what action you would take if you were Lena and why.
Determine whether the law and the ANAs standards support or conflict with that action.
By Day 3
Post a description of the actions you would take in this situation, and why. Justify these actions by referencing appropriate laws, ethical standards, and professional guidelines.
