Analyze salient ethical and legal issues in psychiatric-mental health practice
Ethical and Legal Foundations of PMHNP Care Across the Lifespan
In your role as a PMHNP, you will regularly encounter situations that require your ability to make sound judgments and practice decisions for the safety and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. There may not be a clear-cut answer of how to address the issue, but your ethical decision making must be based on evidence-based practice and what is good, right, and beneficial for patients. You will encounter patients who do not hold your values, but you must remain professional and unbiased in the care you provide to all patients regardless of their background or worldview. You must be prepared to critically analyze ethical situations and develop an appropriate plan of action.

· Analyze the impact of cultural considerations on ethical/legal decision making in advanced practice nursing
· Evaluate mastery of nurse practitioner knowledge in preparation for the nurse practitioner national certification examination*
Discussion: Ethical and Legal Foundations of PMHNP Care
Advanced practice nursing in all specialties is guided by codes of ethics that put the care, rights, duty, health, and safety of the patient first and foremost. PMHNP practice is also guided by ethical codes specifically for psychiatry. These ethical codes are frameworks to guide clinical decision making; they are generally not prescriptive. They also represent the aspirational ideals for the profession. Laws, on the other hand, dictate the requirements that must be followed. In this way, legal codes may be thought to represent the minimum standards of care, and ethics represent the highest goals for care.
Develop a linear regression model to explain the variation in the service rating.
Linear Regression Analysis
Terry Downes owns a commercial cleaning company. He has conducted a survey of customers to determine how satisfied they are with the work performed. He devised a 100-point rating scale—with 0 being poor and 100 being excellent service, selected a random sample of 14 customers, and asked them to rate the service. He also recorded the number of worker hours spent in the customer’s facility. These are in the file named Downes.
Use Excel to complete the following:
- Develop a scatter plot showing the variables, rate of service and worker hours, with the y variable on the vertical axis and the x variable on the horizontal axis, and indicating the type of relationship.
- Develop a linear regression model to explain the variation in the service rating.
- Use Word to complete the following:
- Describe the model, showing the results of the pertinent hypothesis tests, using a significance level of 0.10.
- Submit your work in a Word document and attach your Excel file.

COM 315 Technology Awareness Assessment Guidelines and Rubric
1. Select a day and record (create a log of) all of your communications involving technology. This includes telephone, text messaging, emails, online groups (Facebook, etc.) and any other form of communication using technology. Listening to the radio or watching television does not count. Be as complete as you can.
2. Select another day and refrain from all communication technology use. You can only communicate in person via non-technology means such as writing (limit phone use to making and receiving calls). Try not to read texts that come in or log on to social networking sites, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Try to avoid online gaming or gaming on mobile devices and anything that requires an Internet connection (computer, mobile device) other than your school classes. Listening to the radio or watching television does not count. Try to make it an entire day without using communication technology.
3. Describe, in one page, what you learned about yourself on the day where you monitored and logged all communication technology use. a) Which communication technology do you use the most? b) What is the primary reason you use it? c) What are your thoughts on your frequency of communication technology?
4. Describe, in one page, what you learned about yourself on the day where you did not use communication technology. a) What made this task difficult or easy? b) How did not using communication technology affect your relationships that day? If you never used communication technology in your relationships,
what might they be like? c) How did you feel during this daylong experience without communication technology? Calm, anxious, etc.? d) Did you see any differences or did you have to change your behavior without using communication technology? Specifically, what was different—
frequency of communication, message content, etc.?
5. Based on this exercise, analyze and describe, in two pages, how communication technology impacts your relationships. a) How does communication technology enhance your relationships? Use at least two specific examples. b) How does communication technology hinder your relationships?

Describe activities and strategies you will introduce to build a well-functioning team.
Scenario
You are a business development manager reporting to the vice president (VP) of business development at one of the largest life sciences organizations in the Midwest. Their latest venture is producing a new cancer drug. The recent clinical trials of the organization’s flagship product have shown great success and the owners are considering their options for the future. While the organization has shown constant growth and profitability since its inception in 1999, the owners have decided that it is time to sell. Given the current uncertainty in global markets, the board of directors is not convinced that this is the right approach.
While work is underway to find a potential buyer, the VP has called on you to join the strategic planning team to assess the organization’s exit strategy and make recommendations to its board of directors. As part of the strategic planning team, you have been asked to make some initial analyses and help plan for the sale of your organization.
Your first task is to build a guiding coalition; that is, identify the people in the organization who can shape, guide, and sustain the change effort of selling the organization. You will send your recommendations and rationale to the VP.
Identifying people who can effectively lead the change initiative is an important first step. These individuals have the leadership and social skills to ensure that the change effort is communicated throughout the organization; as well, they will report back to the team what employees are saying about the change.
Prompt
Use the organizational chart and the employee personas provided to guide your selection of the guiding coalition for the organization in the scenario. (A text-only version of the organizational chart is available: Text-Only Organizational Chart.)
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
- Recommendation: Use the organizational chart and the personas to identify people who should be part of the guiding coalition. Review the personas to identify the individuals who have the influence and commitment to make a positive impact while providing guidance for the change initiative.
- Rationale: Justify your choice of guiding coalition team members. Your responses should address the following for each individual you recommend for the coalition:
- What is the person’s title and how many people do they manage?
- How long has each person been with the organization?
- What area(s) of the organization does this person influence?
- What is your rationale for choosing the person? Consider the person’s characteristics for your rationale.
- What role will each person fulfill as a member of the guiding coalition?
- Team-building strategies: Describe activities and strategies you will introduce to build a well-functioning team. Your response should address the following:
- What strategies will help the members align with the change initiative of the organization in the scenario?
- What steps or actions will you take to establish a sense of urgency within the team?
- How do these activities and strategies help build trust?
