Essay Question: Reference intervals provide valuable information to doctors in their interpretation of laboratory test results, and are important in patient diagnosis and making key clinical decisions. The reference interval serves as a benchmark with which to compare a patient’s test result. Currently, many paediatric laboratory test results are inappropriately interpreted using reference intervals obtained from adult populations, hospitalized paediatric populations, or outdated and/or inaccurate technology. Thus, many paediatric reference intervals used in diagnostic laboratories are incomplete and may not be suitable for clinical use.   Discuss the pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical challenges that can affect the establishment of paediatric reference intervals. Propose how you would overcome those challenges and provide relevant examples. (Your essay should include the rationale for establishing a paediatric reference interval, factors that can affect it and any other considerations that are applicable.)

At least 300 words:  You are a parole officer whose caseload includes a single mother with three hyperactive, attention-deficit disordered young children. She receives no support from her ex-husband. Her own mother wants nothing to do with her or her children, believing that “God is punishing her.” The parolee works as a topless dancer but hates it. She continues dancing because it pays the bills so well. You know that she smokes marijuana on a fairly regular basis in an effort to deal with stress.  Obviously, this is a violation of probation. However, if you file a violation report on her, she will go back to prison. You know she is doing the best she can with her kids, she is heavily involved with their school, and they are strongly bonded to her. You worry about what will happen to the kids. What would you do? Apply at least four ethical systems to support your action one way or the other.  Ethical Systems: Utilitarianism, deontological, virtue ethics, ethics of care, egoism, religion, natural law, teleological

The primary purpose of a profile is to inform readers about a living person, a place visited, or an event attended. For this job, choose a place that you have visited. For example, your profile might describe a local business, restaurant, or landmark; your backyard garden; a foreign country; a recent duty station; a specific airport, train, or bus terminal, your child’s classroom, a museum, a sports arena, or field, etc. Please write about Shanghai China, My Parents are Chinese Citizens and I visit Shanghai every year. Keep it simple and write about downtown Shanghai. To receive full credit, you need to: Write a profile essay of 400 – 450 words in which you describe your selected place. Reminder: an essay should contain an introduction, body, and conclusion. Include a thesis statement at the end of the introduction that focuses on some aspect of the place that the reader will find intriguing or unusual. Rely on showing via sensory impressions (sights, sounds, tastes, smells, and tactile sensations) rather than telling. Hint: use action verbs (i.e., explode, roared, bloomed, ran, etc.) rather than passive verbs of being (i.e., is, was, were, are, etc.) Bring attention to the uniqueness of the place, showing what is remarkable about it. Present a portrait of the place through a specific angle of vision. That is, convey a dominant attitude toward the subject, an attitude (i.e., fascination, disgust, amusement, detachment, joy, etc.) that can be implied through details or stated explicitly.  You will need to conduct library research to gather additional information about the place. You must give credit to your sources. APA-Style Format. You must, name the source of your information in your paper and list the source at the end of your paper. You must also double-space your assignment. If you use your own experiences as support for your thesis, this is fine—and you may use first-person words (I, me, my, mine). This tone is appropriate since I do not want to refer to my self in the third person.

The introduction would introduce the topic of identity and narrow it down to the gender aspect of it. It will clearly state the thesis, and mention what the essay will cover. the main body will again talk about identity, the female gender, and how social pressure and the lack of it has formed and is still forming women around the world. I would like to narrow it down to UK and Chechnya (my birthplace) and compare those two. I would like to discuss how more traditional societies have more pressure on women in particular, and women from societies that don’t have any traditional values can also be easily influenced by the new trends (for ex. good housewife trend, the businesswoman trend, the independent woman, etc.). The conclusion should not have any new information to it, it should cover everything that has been discussed, answer the main question (thesis) and say something about it being a very big and important topic that requires further research.

The answers should be written using APA format, including citing your sources.

For this assessment, you will create a 2-4 page plan proposal for an interprofessional team to collaborate and work toward driving improvements in the organizational issue you identified in the second assessment. The health care industry is always striving to improve patient outcomes and attain organizational goals. Nurses can play a critical role in achieving these goals; one way to encourage nurse participation in larger organizational efforts is to create a culture of ownership and shared responsibility (Berkow et al., 2012). Participation in interdisciplinary teams can also offer nurses opportunities to share their expertise and leadership skills, fostering a sense of ownership and collegiality. You are encouraged to complete the Budgeting for Nurses activity before you develop the plan proposal. The activity consists of seven questions that will allow you the opportunity to check your knowledge of budgeting basics and as well as the value of financial resource management. The information gained from completing this formative will promote success with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal. Completing this activity also demonstrates your engagement in the course, requires just a few minutes of your time and is not graded. This assessment will allow you to describe a plan proposal that includes an analysis of best practices of interprofessional collaboration, change theory, leadership strategies, and organizational resources with a financial budget that can be used to solve the problem identified through the interview you conducted in the prior assessment. Scenario Having reviewed the information gleaned from your professional interview and identified the issue, you will determine and present an objective for an interdisciplinary intervention to address the issue. Note: You will not be expected to implement the plan during this course. However, the plan should be evidence-based and realistic within the context of the issue and your interviewee’s organization. Instructions For this assessment, use the context of the organization where you conducted your interview to develop a viable plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you identified. Define a specific patient or organizational outcome or objective based on the information gathered in your interview. The goal of this assessment is to clearly lay out the improvement objective for your planned interdisciplinary intervention of the issue you identified. Additionally, be sure to further build on the leadership, change, and collaboration research you completed in the previous assessment. Look for specific, real-world ways in which those strategies and best practices could be applied to encourage buy-in for the plan or facilitate the implementation of the plan for the best possible outcome. Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX] will help you stay organized and concise. As you complete each section of the template, make sure you apply APA format to in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that inform your plan, as well as the reference list at the end. Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score. Describe an objective and predictions for an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to achieve a specific goal related to improving patient or organizational outcomes. Explain a change theory and a leadership strategy, supported by relevant evidence, that is most likely to help an interdisciplinary team succeed in collaborating and implementing, or creating buy-in for, the project plan. Explain the collaboration needed by an interdisciplinary team to improve the likelihood of achieving the plan’s objective. Include best practices of interdisciplinary collaboration from the literature. Explain organizational resources, including a financial budget, needed for the plan to succeed, and the impacts on those resources if the improvements described in the plan are not made. Communicate the interdisciplinary plan, with writing that is clear, logically organized, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using the current APA style. Additional Requirements Length of submission: Use the provided template. Remember that part of this assessment is to make the plan easy to understand and use, so it is critical that you are clear and concise. Most submissions will be 2 to 4 pages in length. Be sure to include a reference page at the end of the plan. A number of references: Cite a minimum of 3 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that supports your central ideas. Resources should be no more than 5 years old.   APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations and reference lists follow the current APA style.
