 Clinical Case Scenario
An 11-month-old girl, well-known to your clinic since birth, arrives for a well-child visit. The parents report that their baby drags her legs rather than crawling on both hands and legs.

You noted at her 6-month visit that she was not rolling over or sitting; previous visits were unremarkable as was the mother’s pregnancy and vaginal delivery. While examining the baby, you note that when she is held by the axillae her legs are extended and crossed (i.e. the “scissoring” posture).

Andrew Jackson is one of the most polarizing presidents in the history of the United States. People either believe he was a great president or an absolutely terrible president with few opinions in between. As a matter of fact there are a number of Indian reservations that refuse to take $20 bills because they have his picture on them. Considering the controversy, along with his contributions to the country, was Andrew Jackson a good president? Why or why not?

That said, there is NO right or wrong answer. What matters is how well your argument is. Along with that, given the nature of this topic, we need to show respect to EVERYONE in this discussion.
Directions
Create a thread in which you answer the prompt above. Your original post needs to be well thought out and written with a minimum length of 300 words. If you use outside sources, you MUST cite them using parenthetical citations.

ANNOTATION OF A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH ARTICLE
Submit: Annotation of a Qualitative Research Article
This week, you will submit the annotation of a qualitative research article on a topic of your interest. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research designs or approaches used in qualitative research.
An annotation consists of three separate paragraphs that cover three respective components: summary, analysis, and application. These three components convey the relevance and value of the source. As such, an annotation demonstrates your critical thinking about, and authority on, the source topic. This week’s annotation is a precursor to the annotated bibliography assignment due in Week 10.
An annotated bibliography is a document containing selected sources accompanied by a respective annotation of each source. In preparation for your own future research, an annotated bibliography provides a background for understanding a portion of the existing literature on a particular topic. It is also a useful first step in gathering sources in preparation for writing a subsequent literature review as part of a dissertation.
Please review the assignment instructions below and click on the underlined words for information about how to craft each component of an annotation.
Please use the document “Annotated Bibliography Template with Example” for additional guidance.
It is recommended that you use the grading rubric as a self-evaluation tool before submitting your assignment.

Describe how transformational leadership style may influence the process of investigating this professional nurse colleague that reports to one of your unit managers.

Leadership and Management Attributes
Competency
Evaluate leadership and management attributes that support critical decisions for nursing practice.
Scenario
You have recently started a position as a department director with five managers reporting to you. Earlier today, one of your managers reports that a client expired on her unit. She suspects that a factor that may have contributed to the client’s demise may be related to the actions of a nurse on her unit. This nurse has several notes in her personnel file that reflect potential client abuse. You and the nurse manager both have concerns that this sentinel event must be investigated.
Later in the day, the Chief Nursing Officer asks you to speak to new nurse managers to share attributes of leadership with the plan of enhancing their leadership skills. You see an opportunity to combine the situation of the client with a bad outcome, due to the alleged influence of one of the nurses, while building information to share this real-life situation with new nurse leaders.
Instructions
As a follow up to the investigation of the client’s unexpected death, generate an internal memo to your managers to reflect leadership and management attributes and include steps taken to investigate this unfortunate situation. As you create this memo, keep in mind that you should include:

At least five leadership and/or management attributes for nurse leaders, as well as how they can improve client outcomes.

Overview
For this assignment, you will work on creating a strategic plan aimed at boosting the performance of a company. The following case is based on a real company, Curtis & Associates, Inc. (The permission of Dean Curtis, President of the company, has been obtained for the use of his company.) While the case is based on a real company, many of the facts and events are fictional to facilitate the learning of management principles and concepts. Curtis & Associates was founded by Dean Curtis who had formerly taught Speech and Communications at the University of Nebraska at Kearney in Kearney, Nebraska.
Scenario
Dean Curtis formed Curtis & Associates when he was invited by an older student to bid on a contract for the Nebraska Department of Social Services. This student was the manager of the Kearney office of the Department of Social Services. Dean has now organized a company to conduct workshops to train welfare recipients in job search skills.
A year has passed, and thanks to your help, it has been a very successful year. Dean’s company has experienced a 70% placement rate for clients who have taken his workshops. This means that 7 out of 10 welfare recipients who have taken his company’s workshops have found jobs. Since this is now to be his line of work, Dean realizes he needs to think long-term about his goals for the business.
Instructions
Write a 3-4 page strategic plan in which you:

Develop at least three long-term strategic goals (3-5 years) for Curtis & Associates.

Make sure these goals meet the criteria for effective goals as outlined in the text.
Provide justification and your rationale for these goals.

Develop the tactical goals (or annual goals) for the company that support the long-term strategic goals.

Provide justification and your rationale for these goals.

Explain the importance of budgets in developing tactical goals, providing detailed support.
Develop operational goals (monthly, weekly, or daily) for reaching tactical goals.

Provide justification and your rationale for these goals.

Use at least three sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The library is your home for SWS assistance, including citations and formatting. Please refer to the Library site for all support. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
