Critical reflection of your growth and development during your practicum experience in a clinical setting has the benefit of helping you to identify opportunities for improvement in your clinical skills, while also recognizing your clinical strengths and successes.
This week, you will write a Journal Entry, reflecting on your clinical strengths and opportunities for improvement. To prepare:
Refer to the “Advanced Nursing Practice Competencies and Guidelines” found in Week 1’s Learning Resources and consider the quality measures or indicators advanced nursing practice nurses must possess in your specialty of interest.
Refer to your “Clinical Skills and Procedures Self-Assessment Form” you submitted in Week 1 and consider your strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Refer to your Patient Log in Meditrek and consider the patient activities you have experienced in your practicum experience and reflect on your observations and experiences.
Journal Entry (450–500 words):
Learning from Experiences
Reflect on the three most challenging patients. What was most challenging for each? What did you learn from this experience? What resources did you have available?
What evidence-based practice did you use for this patient?
What new skills are you learning?
What would you do differently? How are you managing patient flow and volume? Communicating and Feedback
Reflect on how to improve on your skills and knowledge and how to communicate that back to your Preceptor.
How are you doing? What is missing? What type of feedback are you receiving from your Preceptor?

Ethics in Business: A Real-Life Example Title: The Wells Fargo Scandal: A Case of Unethical Business Practices
While our discussions of ethics in business can sometimes seem esoteric and removed from our day-to-day management responsibilities, the various media are filled with real-life examples of unethical business behavior that harms the businesses involved, as well as their shareholders, customers, employees, and other stakeholders.
For this discussion, identify a news story that has been published within the 30 days preceding the due date of this discussion that describes such a breach of business ethics. You may find these through a web search, library research, professional journals, professional association websites, newspapers, etc.
In your initial post:
Briefly explain the situation and the parties involved.
Identify your ethical standard and the ethical issue(s) that violates that standard.
Explain how you would have prevented this situation and would now respond, including support from a second source.
The student will first post a thread of at least 600 words (content, not including references) by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday of the assigned Module. For each thread analysis must be supported with a minimum of 2 scholarly sources other than the course textbook and provided materials. Each source must be cited in current APA format. Each thread and each reply must include both full citations in a reference list at the end of each post, and short-form in-text citations.
Acceptable sources include books, legal and business journals, legal cases, the law (cases,
statutes, regulations, etc.), the Bible, biblical commentary, etc. Dictionaries and other web
sources that lack scholarly support are not acceptable sources. Any sources cited must be current
to the issue (e.g., Bible commentaries may by applicable from any age, but articles discussing
current legal practices may no longer be relevant after 2 or 5 years). A well-developed, complete worldview analysis of the situation requires more than simply adding a Bible verse at the end of the post. Each thread must include at least 1
verse from Scripture, quoted and applied as an integral part of the discussion of the applicable
issues in the context of a Biblical worldview. -

“Getting to Know You: Introduction Collage and Group Activity”
Introduction Activity
Required Attendance
Completion of this introduction discussion is required in order to verify your attendance in this course. Learning Outcomes
Introduce yourself to your peers and instructor. Identify three business sectors of interest. Use Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to identify possible areas.
Look for common ground between students.
Instructions
First create a collage of pictures that represents yourself. Create one power point slide to do this. You can choose anything, hopefully things that are important to you … your interests, where you live now or in the past, favorite foods, pets, favorite sports teams, favorite websites, your major, etc. similar to the one I developed in my own introduction.
Within the collage insert a text box and write at least three (3) business sectors that you have interest in: say automotive, construction, or retail for example. If you are interested in technology, be specific as to the application you are interested in: such as energy technology, gaming technology, technology and agriculture etc. Upload your ppt slide as Part 1 due by Sunday January 28.
Monday January 29 in class we will team up in small groups of 3. You will use 1 minute to explain your collage to your classmates and they in turn will do the same. Afterwards you all will look for similarities between the collages within your small group. Try to find as many similarities as possible. You will have to be present in class with your collage (on your phone or laptop) to get full credit for this assignment. See Power Point attachment for Assignment details and website references

Assessment of Fall Risk in Older Adults: A Comparative Analysis and Reflection
I have included and labelled the PDFs of both the assignment and my groupmate’s work. It would be really appreciated if, while working on the project and answering the questions, you could also look at the work of my groupmate for ideas and examples. Following the framework that my group partner and the directions provided in the assignment pdf, please construct a page that is comparable to the one that my partner made by responding to the questions in the assignment PDF. The solution must be one whole page in length, and the assignment PDF should include contain formatting instructions. Next, write a two-page answer that integrates both her example and the one you just wrote, following the criteria in the assignment PDF. In addition, please complete the self assessment and screening tasks included in the assignment PDF titled “Assignment 1- KINE..” Instructions: (please check pdfs as well)
Week 1 – Assignment
Each person in the group should complete the following assessment (A and B attached). Ideally, you complete the assessment on an older adult. I am aware that not everyone knows or has access to interact with an older adult. As a result, you can enlist another person, but it will be important to provide information about your participant in your write-up. Who the participant is may even be noteworthy when critically interpreting results.
Although each group member is responsible for completing one set of assessments, you will only provide one assignment – working together to include your assessments, critical thoughts, perspectives, etc. The document should flow together – try to avoid the document being choppy.
When you have completed the assessments, the pages themselves should be submitted as your appendix for the weekly assignment, or Assignment 1 (you can provide a scan or picture of the rough copies, no need to retype).
You are to write two (2) pages max, single spaced about:
The purpose of conducting a risk of falling assessment
Why may a “self-assessment” (A) or a “quick screen” (B) be beneficial? How did the two compare?
Reflection on conducting the assessment (e.g., ease of administering the assessment, perceptions of the individual being assessed, things you would keep, things you may change).
Note: a title page for the individual weekly assignment is not necessary.
Text/Format Specifics: Single spaced typed, Calibri 12-point font, 1 inch margins, page numbers as the bottom centred.
References within text should be numerical in order of appearance, with square [1] brackets. Formatting for references:
