In one of the week’s readings, Davis (2015) argues that disability is often left out of discussions of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Why do you think this might be? There are a couple of reasons as to why they are often left out. Adams et al. (2015), mention that these people are often treated as passive and voiceless. Given this perception, it is hard for their voices to be heard and be included in the DEI discussions. Most of us know that some disabilities are less visible compared to other diversity aspects such as race and gender. With these disabilities not being immediately apparent, it leads to a lack of awareness and understanding. Therefore, it becomes hard to have discussions regarding them in the DEI discussions. Another reason could be the stigma of certain disabilities. A couple of years back, I was watching a documentary regarding parents who give birth to mentally and physically disabled children and tend to hide them because of community stigma. Such stigma leads to these people not being able to advocate for their inclusion in DEI efforts. We have been discussing a lot about stereotypes and it still applies to this scenario. Stereotypes about disability persist in society and they can lead to false beliefs that accommodating people with disabilities is unnecessary.

What does the term “TAB” (temporarily able-bodied) mean in the context of disability studies? What does this term add to your understanding of disability? Disability can happen to anyone at any time, making it be more fluid than other forms of identity (Adams et al., 2015). With this knowledge, the term TAB arises and refers to the nondisabled who might be disabled at some point. It refers to persons who are currently able-bodied but may become disabled in the future due to illness, injury, or age-related conditions. What “TAB” adds to the understanding of disability is the recognition of its potential universality. It emphasizes that disability is not something experienced only by a specific group; rather, it’s a continuum of experiences that individuals may move in and out of over the course of their lives.
·
How might the concepts of intersectionality and privilege relate to the experiences of people with disabilities? Please give at least two examples. Intersectionality recognizes that individuals have multiple identities that intersect and influence their experiences. For example, a person with a disability who is also a racial minority may face unique challenges related to both disability discrimination and racial discrimination. When it comes to privilege, people with disabilities have fewer privileges compared to those without. Ridgway (2013) gives a list of these privileges and how they relate to disability. For instance, without a disability, you do not face disability discrimination in the workplace and people do not make fun of you.

Assessment 2 Instructions: Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification
Top of Form
Bottom of Form
· PRINT
· For this assessment, you will create a 2-4 page report on an interview you have conducted with a health care professional. You will identify an issue from the interview that could be improved with an interdisciplinary approach, and review best practices and evidence to address the issue.
As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, your participation and leadership in interdisciplinary teams will be vital to the health outcomes for your patients and organization. One way to approach designing an improvement project is to use the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement describes it thus:
The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is shorthand for testing a change in the real work settingby planning it, trying it, observing the results, and acting on what is learned. This is the scientific method adapted for action-oriented learning
Essentially, the PDSA cycle helps you test out change ideas on a smaller scale before evaluating the results and making adjustments before potentially launching into a somewhat larger scale project (n.d.).
You might also recognize that the PDSA cycle resembles the nursing process. The benefit of gaining experience with this model of project design is that it provides nurses with an opportunity to ideate and lead improvements. For this assessment, you will not be implementing all of the PDSA cycle. Instead, you are being asked to interview a health care professional of your choice to determine what kind of interdisciplinary problem he or she is experiencing or has experienced in the workplace. This interview, in Assessment 2, will inform the research that you will conduct to propose a plan for interdisciplinary collaboration in Assessment 3.
It would be an excellent choice to complete the PDSA Cycle activity prior to developing the report. The activity consists of four questions that create the opportunity to check your understanding of best practices related to each stage of the PDSA cycle. The information gained from completing this formative will promote your success with the Interview and Interdisciplinary Issue Identification report. This will take just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.

Professional Context
This assessment will introduce the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Model to create change in an organization. By interviewing a colleague of your choice, you will begin gathering information about an interprofessional collaboration problem that your colleague is experiencing or has experienced. You will identify a change theory and leadership strategies to help solve this problem.
Scenario
This assessment is the first of three related assessments in which you will gather interview information (Assessment 2); design a proposal for interdisciplinary problem-solving, (Assessment 3); and report on how an interdisciplinary improvement plan could be implemented in a place of practice (Assessment 4). At the end of the course, your interviewee will have a proposal plan based on the PDSA cycle that he or she could present to stakeholders to address an interdisciplinary problem in the workplace.
For this assessment, you will need to interview a health care professional such as a fellow learner, nursing colleague, administrator, business partner, or another appropriate person who could provide you with sufficient information regarding an organizational problem that he or she is experiencing or has experienced, or an area where they are seeking improvements. Consult
the
Interview Guide [DOCX]
I post the example document with it. for an outline of how to prepare and the types of information you will need to complete this project successfully.
Remember: this is just the first in a series of three assessments.
Instructions
For this assessment, you will report on the information that you collected in your interview, analyzing the interview data and identifying a past or current issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently being used. You will discuss the interview strategy that you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be supported by citations from the literature. Additionally, you will start laying the foundation for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal (Assessment 3) by researching potential change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you have identified. Please be certain to review the scoring guide to confirm specific required elements of this assessment. Note that there are differences between basic, proficient and distinguished scores.
When submitting your plan, use
