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.

Discuss the artifact in depth. Explain the stereotypes or biases that you see being perpetuated in the artifact.
Analyze: Artifact of Popular Culture
Evaluation Title: The Business of Pop Culture
We have seen throughout this course how popular culture influences our attitudes, both positively and negatively. In this final paper, you will examine an artifact in pop culture to determine its message and effect.
For this assignment, select an artifact that, in your opinion, unfairly creates a negative bias or promotes a negative stereotype about one population of society. The pop culture artifact can be a media source (song, movie, television program), a product or other tangible associated with pop culture. Provide a link to this artifact (or an image). Explain why you have selected this artifact, and why you feel that this creates a negative bias. Describe how you would re-design or re-write the script of this artifact to change the way others would view this population.
In your paper:
Provide a specific link to pop culture artifact used for this paper or an image of the artifact.
Discuss the artifact in depth. Explain the stereotypes or biases that you see being perpetuated in the artifact.
Discuss the role of popular culture in communicating harmful or incorrect stereotypes or biases. Using the concepts, terminology, and ideas within Units 1-7, recommendations for how people can identify and correct views that are incorrect or harmful.
Re-design or re-write this artifact to change the way others could view this population without the negative bias. Be sure to support this revised artifact with factual examples of the culture.
Specifications:

What causes people to make changes in their lives?
In this course, you will spend time reading and applying information regarding psychological theory. It is important to understand why theory is needed. As such, please discuss why counselors need theory. Be sure to detail at least three reasons why the use of theory in counseling is important.
The counseling process is designed to help people make positive changes in their lives. This might entail helping clients make changes in the way they think, feel, or behave. Before formally reviewing any of the theories reflect on the following questions and share your thoughts:
- What are your views about change?
- What causes people to make changes in their lives?
- What do you think leads people to be resistant to change?
- How open to change are you inclined to be?

The Prac Report is a scientific paper: it will have the following format:
Introduction: very brief, but include an aim (not the “educational” aim given – give one that you think most precisely addresses what was achieved)
Materials and Methods: you probably only need to just reference to the online Lab (Cakebread 2020) – check out how to reference websites.
Results: present only results – the main result is a couple of names. If you have a table, think about what you present in it. In general, you shouldn’t include data that is not directly required for explaining your results or brought up in the Discussion
Discussion: this is the section that will require your greatest focus.
A separate Conclusion is not required, but you should have at least a simple statement to indicate that you do / do not believe your aim has been achieved.
In the report you need to address two main questions:
How valid are your results what are the sources of error?
You need to analyse the procedures undertaken. The following questions may assist:
What factors could have led us undertaking the procedures with a bacteria other than the one you did?
What factors could have led to not culturing bacteria from the original sample?
What steps were crucial in the identification of the bacteria?
What factors could have altered the results you obtained?
What is the significance the significance of this finding? You need to discuss the implications of finding this species in the milk and suggest the likely specific management actions that should be taken. As part of your report, you should explore the nature and spread of specific form of mastitis, the incidence within the herd and suggested measures for control of the bacterial species you have identified. This information needs to be supported by good strong references.
References and referencing
Basically, every substantial statement you make must either be your original creation or be referenced. Original should be indicated as such – it doesn’t happen that often!
But what is a good reference? In general, a peer-reviewed primary source journal article is to be preferred. All reputable journals have peer-review. Primary source means this has been written by the people who actually did the original research – the article generally has a Results section.
Can I use review articles? Yes, but sparingly and in the right context. Good for overview and general statements, but not for specific facts.
Can I use other sources (web-sites/ trade newspapers/ newspaper report etc) – yes, very sparingly and only when scientific journal articles do not present that specific information.
How many references should I include? Depends on what you are saying and the quality of the references. As a very rough guide – 5 is a minimum – 50 is probably overboard.
