  • Title: The Implications of Military Conflict between China and Taiwan in the Pacific Ocean Military conflict between China and Taiwan in the Pacific Ocean would be a major international event due to the potential consequences it would have on regional stability, global trade, and

    Extract A
    China has started two days of military exercises around Taiwan, with its military calling them “strong punishment” for the self-ruled island’s “separatist acts”. The drills come three days after the inauguration of President William Lai, who called on China to stop threatening the island and accept the existence of its democracy. China sees Taiwan as a breakaway province that will eventually be under Beijing’s control, but the island sees itself as distinct. Taiwan’s defence ministry condemned the Chinese drills as “irrational provocations”. Taipei dispatched naval, air, and ground forces to “defend the [island’s] sovereignty”, its defence ministry said. Thursday’s drills for the first time simulated a full-scale attack, Taiwanese military experts said, rather than an economic blockade. The exercises took place all around the main island, and for the first time also targeted the Taipei-controlled islands of Kinmen, Matsu, Wuqiu and Dongyin which lie close to the Chinese coast, according to maps released by China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

  • Title: The Importance of Understanding Multiple Intelligences in Mentoring Nurses for Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgment Skills

    Activity 6
    Multiple Intelligences
    You will find a discussion of Howard Gardner’s list of Multiple Intelligences (Rubenfeld & Scheffer, 2015, Box 3-2) in the textbook readings.  Review the different categories in the text and explain how an experienced nurse can use these categories to nurture critical thinking and clinical judgment skills in a novice nurse. Discuss:
    the importance of understanding multiple intelligences
    four of the types of intelligences from Gardner’s list. Describe how at least two intelligences relate to your way of thinking and give examples from your nursing practice.
    the positive or negative impact of using multiple intelligences when mentoring nurses (those with experience and/or novice nurses). Include specific examples from your nursing practice/experience.
    how to improve the mentoring/learning process using the concepts of multiple intelligences.

  • “Maximizing the Role of Subject Matter Experts in Training Implementation and Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Learning Environment”

    Topic #1 – Subject Matter Experts (SME)
    Your subject matter
    expert (SME) likely plays a role in the design and development of training.
    What role (if any) should the SME play in the implementation of the training?
    What factors might impact this role? Be sure to use at least two resources
    from the class.
    Topic #2 – Implementing a Positive Learning
    Environment  
    It is important to ensure that everyone receives
    equitable access to training opportunities and that everyone has a positive
    learning environment.  Think about your target population from the TNA
    Assignment 1.  Now think about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
    — Diversity, which is often perceived to be about
    perspective, representation, tough conversation, and supporting
    inclusion. Inclusion prompts answers about creating
    environments conducive to feedback, supporting diversity, and being
    open. Equity can be described as fairness, sameness, and
    valuing diversity and inclusion.  How is your
    training taking DEI into consideration? Be sure to use at least two resources
    from the class.
