What would an Ethical Egoist say about euthanasia topic? What side would the Ethical Egoist take? What would the Ethical Egoist say to justify their moral position? Is there a conflict between loyalty to self and to community relevant to your topic?

This assignment is the first step in a three part project. You only need to focus on part one at this point. Each step will build on earlier steps. However, it is not a matter of providing a rough draft of all or even part of the entire project here in week three. That is, further steps might require completely new and original text.  At the same time, completing each step will aid you in completing a future step or future steps. And, you should use the same topic in all steps.
First, select a topic of moral controversy, debate, disagreement, and dispute, Examples of such topics are euthanasia, the death penalty, abortion, cloning, etc. You can pick any such topic. It need not be listed here.
Next, detail the positions of each side of the ethical debate. Note at least two moral reasons each side presents to show their view on the topic is correct.
Now, we want to evaluate these positions using the moral theories we studied this week:

What would an Ethical Egoist say about euthanasia topic? What side would the Ethical Egoist take? What would the Ethical Egoist say to justify their moral position? Is there a conflict between loyalty to self and to community relevant to your topic? If so, how so? Note what you feel is the best course of action.
What would a Social Contract Ethicist say about this topic? What side would the Social Contract Ethicist take? What would the Social Contract Ethicist say to justify their moral position? Does your topic involve a collision between personal obligations and national ones? If so, how so? Note what you feel is the best course of action.

Finally, reference and discuss any professional code of ethics relevant to your topic such as the AMA code for doctors, the ANA code for nurses, or any other pertinent professional code. State whether and how your chosen topic involves any conflicts between professional and familial duties.
Cite the textbook and incorporate outside sources, including citations.

The data gained from surveys can help organizations to address the strengths and weaknesses of diversity. Surveys can also help to identify areas where improvements can be made.Discuss 2 examples how organizations can use employees engagement surveys to create an inclusive culture

Working with teams in a diverse workplace requires commitment from managers and employees. In this way, a culture can be created where everyone has a sense of belonging. Employers use diversity and inclusion surveys to gain an understanding about how employees with varying backgrounds feel about their value in the workplace. The data gained from surveys can help organizations to address the strengths and weaknesses of diversity. Surveys can also help to identify areas where improvements can be made.Discuss 2 examples how organizations can use employees engagement surveys to create an inclusive culture.”Inclusive workplace culture can have a higher job satisfaction and return. “www.checkbox.comAn inclusive culture is where employees can share their ideas without fear of any type of repercussions.1.

Without being interrupted during the spiritual time.Each person must use restrooms. And some are definitely not comfortable having a stranger of the opposite sex in with them. Hello, Professor and class.Diversity and inclusion survey questions are used as prompts to determine how inclusive and fair your company is. These inquiries provide information on the progress your company has made in establishing a safe environment for all employees, regardless of race, gender, or other protected characteristics. With the help of these questionnaires, you may learn how your workers feel about inclusion and equality as well as what adjustments are required. Employee engagement is described as the strength of an employee’s both intellectual and emotional involvement in their work, team, and business. One way organizations use employee engagement surveys is by including demographic questions on ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and/or any other information that may be relevant to the study in order to gain these types of insights. This might involve hiring a third-party service to analyze data and restricting data divides with the goal of avoiding becoming too detailed (e.g., pairing gender and ethnicity) Another way organizations use employee engagement surveys is to measure performance time. Measuring employee engagement allows you to track the progress of new projects, enhance your ROI, and keep your staff satisfied. Companies may establish a better culture and lower the risk of employee overload by developing surveys that assess both engagement and performance.”Applying the sociological perspective benefits people in the following ways:IThank you for allowing me to share my discussion, and I hope everyone has a great week.

Select and describe an issue in nursing that impacts nurses at all levels from bedside to advanced practice. Make sure to provide an adequate background and its significance to all levels of nursing using a strong review of the literature

TOPIC : NURSING SHORTAGE
Decision-Making Process 
Instructions
In this assignment, you will be writing a 6-pages identifying, comparing and contrasting at least 3 DIFFERENT DECISION MAKING APPROACHES SOF CARE from a multidisciplinary perspective using a pertinent and significant topic ( NURSING SHORTAGE).
You are required to use APA 7th edition format and the page count does not include title page or reference page. Reflect on your own decision-making practices and the implications this will have regarding differing approaches taken of nursing leaders and staff nurses/clinical practitioners in decision making within to issues in practice. To complete this assignment, do the following:

Select and describe an issue in nursing that impacts nurses at all levels from bedside to advanced practice. Make sure to provide an adequate background and its significance to all levels of nursing using a strong review of the literature. Additionally, this should include a thorough literature review that provides a good understanding of what the cause of this problem is; what is suggested to address this problem. Essentially, this review must support your choices of the decision-making models and this needs to include how all levels of nursing practice (the bedside nurse to the APN are impacted by the problem).
Identify how you would expect a nurse leader/manager, a bedside/staff nurse and an Advanced practice nurse (CNO or NP) to address your selected issue using at least 3different decision-making approaches which are clearly supported by the literature review. This must first include aa detailed analysis/overview of the selected decision making models and how they are used in practice. Then a detailed analysis of how these decision-making approaches/models would address the problem/along with a detailed analysis of how each of the three selected models would be applied to address the selected issue/problem making sure to incorporate this at all levels of practice. One of the decision-making models may be more applicable to the bedside nurse; whereas the other more applicable to the APN; however, all levels of nursing practice need to be addressed with at least one of the chosen 3 decision-making models. However, this does not mean that each decision-making model will apply to all levels of practice only that in this discussion needs to include how each level of nursing practice would utilize the decision-making model to address the problem. For instance,one decision making model may apply to the bedside nurse; the second decision making model may be more applicable at the level of APN (CNO, NP, etc) and the other decision-making model may be best applied to the nurse manager. This section should be detailed; meaning specific, well thought out, realistic solutions of how the nurse (at the level identified; this may include more than one level for the same decision-making model or not) would address the problem using the decision-making model is provided and well supported by the literature. of the benefits and limitations of various decision-making approaches that are applied appropriately to the level of nursing practice to address the selected issue/problem. This is informed from course readings,literature, clinical scenarios and other evidence-based and scholarly sources.
Prioritize the best decision-making approach/model to address the selected problem that is grounded in best practice. This should provide a well-supported rationale for this choice that includes a good comparison and contrasting of the 3 chosen decision-making models that clearly illustrates why the choice was made, that is consistent with the decision making model and how it would address the chosen topic or problem.
Identify a possible funding source that would addresses your approach to solving the problem. For instance, if the best approach to solving the nurse-to-patient ratio problem is through the use of SDM and shared governance, perhaps you may seek a local funding source to provide you with funding to implement a small EBP or research project that would be funded by a local nursing organization such as Sigma Theta Tau or perhaps if it was geared more towards assessing the value of this model towards NP in practice than seeking a local organization that supports funding for projects being implemented by practicing NP? If seeking money for research this would need to be overseen by a nurse with a DNP or a PhD or someone with the credentials to do so that are part of their scope of practice. Consider looking at federal, state,or local organizations. For example: There are many grants available through the CDC,HRSA, etc. Again, this need to be specifically applied with sufficient details
Use at least 10 references other than your main text.Uses APA 7th edition formatting. At least 5 of these need to be within the past five years.
