Discussion Forum Week 1

Discussion Forum Week 1Read The Cohesion Case (“Coca-Cola Company, 2018”) at the end of Chapter 1 and then do Exercise 1A: The primary purpose of this exercise is to show students how to obtain vital information for doing case analysis or preparing a strategic plan for any publicly held firm. The secondary purpose is to familiarize you with (1) strategy terms introduced in this chapter and (2) key sources of information for doing strategic planning. Generally in a strategic-management course, teams of students prepare a strategic plan (case analysis) for some assigned company, so this exercise can assist in learning how to get started in such a project.  This is a one-page, double-spaced assignment. Then go to the end of Chapter 2 and do Exercise 2A and 2B “Develop an Improved Vision and Mission Statement for the Coca-Cola Company.”  This is a minimum of one-page, double-spaced assignment.

The discussion is below and the questions you need to answer and use to guide your writing are there:

Goods and services of all kinds are advertised to potential customers to expand product usage and to make profits. Medications are advertised as well. If they were not, people would be unaware of the products available to them and sales may be so low that no money is made by the companies who have invested in the new medication.

When reading or hearing about drugs and medical treatments, especially new products, the source of the information is important. Also, all drugs and treatments have positives and negatives, so hearing a few positive (or negative) soundbites might not give a person the information they need to decide if the drug is right for their situation.

Statistics are often used when medications are advertised to the general public. Yet do most people understand what the risks and benefits are? How good is the statistical knowledge of the general population? Is it easy to think clearly and analytically when sick, weak, or in pain?

Take this example. Which drug would you rather take: One that reduces your risk of cancer by 50 percent or another drug that only eliminates cancer in one out of 100 people? Most people would choose the drug that reduces their risk of cancer by 50 percent, but the fact is, both of these numbers refer to the same drug. They’re just two different ways of looking at the same statistic. One way is called relative risk; the other way is an absolute risk.

Here’s how it works: Let’s say there is a trial involving 100 people. Two people would normally get breast cancer during the trial duration, but when all 100 people are put on the drug, only one person gets breast cancer. This means the reduction of breast cancer is one person out of 100. Yet the relative risk reduction is 50 percent because one is 50 percent of two. In other words, the risk is cut in half from a relative point of view.

Even though this drug may help one out of 100 people, its side effects create increased risks to all 100 people. Everyone suffers some harm from the potential side effects of the drug, even if that harm is not immediately evident. However, only one out of 100 people were actually helped by the drug.

Review the 10 Essential Services of Public Health:

  1. Discuss how 4 of the Essential Services of Public Health related to the issues of medication advertising and the role of biostatistics.
  2. How would you rate your statistical knowledge? The knowledge of an average U.S. resident?
  3. Do you think statistics should be used when advertising new medications? How can advertisers help ensure that the stats they are using do not oversimplify or give only a partial picture of the risks involved?
  4. Cite at least one scripture passage that pertains to this topic.
  5. Integrate at least two scholarly sources on each thread pertaining to this topic and cite in AMA format.
What ideas do you have for using a social justice approach within the context of social policymaking, social policy implementation, and social policy research/evaluation?

Prepare a 3-4 page memo outlining the key factors – business and legal — in favor of classifying drivers as employees and those in favor of classifying drivers as independent contractors.

Our company is in the business of package delivery. We deliver packages ordered online to customers at their homes. Our business is time-sensitive and is very competitive. Our customers want their orders as soon as soon as possible. For tax and liability reasons, we would like to explore the possibility of classifying delivery drivers as independent contractors, using drivers in the “gig economy” as a model.

Prepare a 3-4 page memo outlining the key factors – business and legal — in favor of classifying drivers as employees and those in favor of classifying drivers as independent contractors. While you are not required to do extensive research under federal and state law, I’m wondering what the trends are that have developed across the states and the Department of Labor as we make a decision of how to categorize these workers, and how that might fit our business model.

Describe strategies and resources you would use to implement a change based on these findings

This is part 4 of your evidence-based practice project (EBP). 
In this assignment, you will refer back to assignment you completed in previous weeks, as this assignment will build upon it. You’ll be providing a solution to a clinical problem using the EBP process.
For this assignment, you will create a 13-16 slide PowerPoint, excluding the title and reference slides, covering the items below. This should be a high-level overview of what you’ve already discussed in your papers. Be sure to summarize your information (do not simply copy and paste).
Describe the select EBP problem
List the created PICOT question
Provide a high-level overview of the articles you found, organizing them by design (i.e.; qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods)
Summarize the search strategy you used to locate the articles.
Discuss what changes could be made as a result of these findings
Describe strategies and resources you would use to implement a change based on these findings
Describe areas of opportunity for future research and EBP related to your topic
Provide a conclusion and discussion of next steps
This should be a high-level overview of what you’ve already discussed in your papers. Be sure to summarize your information (do not simply copy and paste from previous papers). Your PowerPoint slides should be bullet points and/or images and not paragraphs of text. Descriptions and explanations will be written in the “speaker notes” section of the PowerPoint slides. In other words, use the “notes” section to write out what you would say if you were presenting the slides to a live audience.
You will be graded on presentation and layout. Be sure to not overcrowd your slides (follow the 7×7 Rule- No more than 7 bullet points per slide and no more than 7 words per bullet point). Finally, your background should be consistent throughout, and ensure your slides are readable. Do not use too many graphics either.
In addition, you must follow APA guidelines, providing a title slide, reference slide, and in-text citations.
Please review the rubric to ensure that your assignment meets criteria.

Instructions
Ms. Julia Jones, a 68-year old African American woman, has just been diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma. Her ophthalmologist has explained the pathophysiology of the disease to her and is trying to select the best treatment option for her. You are the nurse working with the ophthalmologist, and Ms. Jones has asked you about the eye drops the doctor has recommended. Mrs. Jones’s physician has recommended Combigan, one drop in the right eye every 12 hours. Your client has never administered eye drops and she does not know anything about the medication her ophthalmologist has prescribed. She is interested in how the medication works, the side effects, how it is administered, and why it is so important in the treatment of her glaucoma.
Develop a nursing care plan using template directly after these instructions to address Ms. Julia Jones concerns.
For this assignment, include the following: assessment and data collection (including disease process, common labwork/diagnostics, subjective, objective, and health history data), three NANDA-I approved nursing diagnosis, one SMART goal for each nursing diagnosis, and two nursing interventions with rationale for each SMART goal for a client with a musculoskeletal disorder.
Use at least two scholarly sources to support your care map. Be sure to cite your sources in-text and on a reference page using APA format.
