The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a common method of group decision making. The group members will meet to discuss their ideas and all parts of the problem and possible solutions and then the voting is done privately. How can the NGT be a valuable tool for group decision making? What possible outcomes will result from using the NGT method? How do these outcomes differ from those that could occur if the members voted while all together? How can technology be integrated into the NGT to allow multi-site groups to work together? Describe how the NGT can aid in the organizational change process. .

The nursing metaparadigm offers insights concerning the nature in which the nursing profession should be set up and properly functioning. From the nursing perspective, the concept of the metaparadigms consists of four attributes including the patient as an entity, the patient’s environment, the well-being and health of the patient, and the responsibilities of the nurse (Alimohammadi et al., 2014). These four metaparadigms have a direct impact on the implementation of culturally proficient nursing care. With the advancement in technology and ease of patient access to quality care, there is an increased number of nurse-patient relations. The nurse has to ensure the provision of patient-centered care while focusing on the nursing metaparadigms. The aspect of culturally proficient nursing care makes use of the attitudes, knowledge, and skills that are in support of the caring of patients that originate from various cultures and ethnic backgrounds. In this accord, culture is able to directly influence the nature of the health care practice and the manner in which the healthcare provider, as well as the patient, perceives the diseases or illness (Lee, & Fawcett, 2013). Based on the theoretical frameworks that the nursing metaparadigm offers together with the assumptions, conceptual models, and propositions, the nurses can be in a position to comprehend the cultural aspect of patient care and act accordingly. The Person Component The patient, as the receiver of the care, makes up the person component aspect of the nursing metaparadigm. Other connections with the person component include close friends, family, and other social groups that are important to the patients and their overall well-being (Bahramnezhad et al., 2015). In this metaparadigm, nurses are able to comprehend the patient as and individuals and how they relate with others in society. The nurses are also able to understand the cultural aspects of the patient through an inquiry from the patient and close relatives in the event of patients who are not in a position to speak for themselves or make sound decisions. The Environment Component This concept of the nursing metaparadigm is focused on the natural and physical surrounding that impacts the day to day life of the patient. in order to offer culturally proficient care, it is important for the nurses to have a deep understanding of the patient’s environment, climatic condition, cultures, and other societal elements (Bahramnezhad et al., 2015). Be that as it may, the environment constitutes both internal and external influences that depict the nature in which the patient directly interacts with the surrounding which may or may not affect their health and wellness. Health Component While there is easy access to quality health care with the Affordable Care Act, the health component still focuses on the aspect of health care wellness and ease of access. The health component also focuses on the genetic makeup of the patient, social o.

The nursing metaparadigm concept I intend to focus on is person (patient or client). Person refers to a human being composed of needs: physical, intellectual, biochemical, and psychosocial (McEwen & Wills, 2019, p. 42). The person is an open system and is "greater than the sum of his or her parts" (McEwen & Wills, 2019, p. 42). The concept of person is most often the center of the nurse's attention and is the recipient of care. Regarding my personal and professional experiences, I have two very different definitions of what constitutes a client. In my pediatric cardiac ICU background, the person, or patient, was generally an infant with a cardiac defect. Currently, in my practice at a medical spa, my clients range from adolescents to the elderly, focusing on physical appearance. My focus on the "person" differs significantly from my previous role to my current role. In 1972, B. Neuman's theory stated that stress reduction is the nursing practice system model's goal ( Nursing Theories - Overview , 2020). Her theory defines "person" as the combination of the interrelationships between physiologic, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual variables (McEwen & Wills, 2019, p. 43). Similarly, D. Johnson's 1968 nursing theory's goal is to reduce stress, as she focuses on how stressors affect illness adaptability ( Nursing Theories - Overview , 2020). Johnson's definition of "person" is a behavioral system with purposeful ways of behaving that connect them to their environments (McEwen & Wills, 2019, p. 43). Both Neuman and Johnson focus on decreasing stress as a way to care for patients. However, their definitions of person vary. Johnson implies that a patient's link to their environment is of most importance, and Neuman believes a person is a more integrated whole that can be singular or plural (as in a community, group, or entire social system) (McEwen & Wills, 2019, p. 43). Within my years of practice in nursing, my definition of person, client, or patient has altered. In my earlier career, I would have been more aligned with Neuman's theory. My patients, albeit more complex, needed more from me as their nurse from more than just an environmental standpoint; I correlated their needs as a holistic being. I was focusing on not just the patient but their support system as well. As a nurse in a med spa, my clients have patterned, repetitive concerns that influence their perceived environment in different ways, which coincide more with Johnson's theory .

The number of Americans ages 65 and older is projected to nearly double from 52 million in 2018 to 95 million by 2060, and the 65-and-older age group’s share of the total population will rise from 16 percent to 23 percent. [1] The older population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse . Between 2018 and 2060 the share of the older population that is non-Hispanic white is projected to drop from 77 percent to 55 percent. [2] Despite the increased diversity in the older adult population, the more rapidly changing racial/ethnic composition of the population under age 18 relative to those ages 65 and older has created a diversity gap between generations. Older adults are working longer. By 2018, 24 percent of men and about 16 percent of women ages 65 and older were in the labor force. These levels are projected to rise further by 2026, to 26 percent for men and 18 percent for women. What does this mean for our society? 52 million people are 65 and over. How are we treating the older population? What are the social implications of people living past 65? add a sociological reference .

The notion of solipsism suggests that one's own mind is the only entity whose existence is certain. That is, solipsism claims that the only thing that one can claim to know is that one's own mind exists. While most philosophers don't work on this issue in particular, almost all philosophers agree that solipsism accurately describes an inherent limitation to the human condition. What do you think?

The next step in the course project is to develop a script that you will use to record the narration for your presentation. Include headings for the slide number. Your final presentation should have 5-8 slides (not including title slide, conclusion slide, or references slide). Here are a few tips: Address all requirements for the content. Balance the amount of content for each slide. If there is too much content on one slide, try to break it up into two slides or consider where you can be more concise with your wording. Include citations where needed (e.g., quoted material and paraphrased/summarized ideas from a source that are not common knowledge). Note: When you get to the recording phase - you will need to read your in-text citations aloud, but you do not need to read your references slide. Looking Ahead Practice reading their script now so that you will be ready to record by Week 8. You may use PowerPoint or another method (mp4 file) approved by your instructor. Writing Requirements (APA format) Length: minimum of 3 pages (not including title page or references page) 1-inch margins Double spaced 12-point Times New Roman font Title page References page (minimum of 8 scholarly sources) BASED ON: Hillary Clinton was the only female candidate to governance next to her husband, Bill Clinton. As evident, she was the single lady who got to rule in the 20th and 21st centuries. She wanted to make the United States powerful in the economy, not just politically. She started working on the economy in the earlier days, and then she stepped towards the military gains of the states. This not only worked, but it also created havoc among the nation to have come under the light of a smart lady. The government and the people at first were not willing to believe, but she gained the trust of all. She worked on the affordable care act for the children and helped them dearly. She stood up for women's rights under the violence against women act. Meaning, she stood up for all acts and rights and made sure that they are implemented. As far as being a US senator is concerned, she stood between the war of Russia and the US and made them sign a treaty. She promoted peace, harmony, culture. She was the first lady who stood for the Copenhagen Climate change Accord. All of this not only helped in helping the children, with their lives, education, etc. it helped the country with better people, better economy, better military respondents, peace, and harmonious culture. She is greatly loved and supported by 74% of the world's stats. She has 487.2K followers just on Facebook . Although things are quite positive, there are a few people who won't agree with this. This is mostly because people have different opinions and mindsets, depending on their different personalities. Thus, there are always critiques and opposers available. Due to Hillary Clinton’s majority deeds that were good in their own way, she managed to accomplish the support of the majority.

The New Career Development Program That Ruins Careers Case The training department of AMEX Corporation was well respected for the quality of programs its staff developed and regularly presented to the over 10,000 AMEX employees. Department members were always ready for new challenges and prided themselves on developing the best training programs in the industry. Jane Johnson, director of the AMEX training department, was excited that her presentation to top management had been well received. She believed, along with her senior staff, that the AMEX career development program was out of date and needed new materials and a new training format. The changes she and her staff wanted to make would cost around $100,000, requiring management approval and agreement that the program was a top priority for the coming year. The new career development program would be the first such program to be made available to all 10,000 employees. During her first staff meeting following the management presentation, Jane became aware that although all four senior staff members agreed on the importance of the program, there was little agreement on who should have the lead responsibility and how other work responsibilities should be divided to provide time for program development. Although no open disagreement had been voiced, Jane came away from the meeting with the sense that she had considerable work to do to determine how project assignments might best meet the needs of the entire group. Jane believed that Denise Giles, her senior staff member in charge of management development programs, had the best experience for the job. Denise had been with AMEX for over seven years and had developed, staffed, and implemented seven new programs for managers at all levels in AMEX. Her program evaluations were consistently outstanding, and top management held her work in high regard. Yet Jane also knew that John Martin, senior staff member in charge of manufacturing training programs, wanted the assignment. John had less overall program experience than Denise, but the work he had done in quality training was truly outstanding. In fact, he had been asked to lead a workshop describing his program at the International Manufacturers Convention in London. Jane was proud of John and believed he had an outstanding future in training and development. The other two senior staff members, Jill and Roger, had not yet introduced their first programs. Although able trainers and good program managers, neither had the development and writing experience necessary for the career development project. Jane decided to devote her next staff meeting to a discussion of project allocations for the coming year. She was not prepared for the tenseness she felt as the meeting began. Jane: As you know, today’s agenda deals with our program planning for the next year. Obviously, if we are to undertake the career development project, we will have to evaluate workloads on all our projects. I.
