An important step in changing your attitudes is understanding them. To practice the skill of monitoring your current thought patterns, add four or five different endings to each of the following incomplete sentences. Work as rapidly as possible and don’t worry about whether the ending is reasonable or significant; the object is to build awareness of your attitudes toward your life. I am very thankful for… I am glad I’m not… When I wake up in the morning, my first thoughts are… My most common reaction to an annoying situation is… Personal happiness to me means… I often compare myself to… After you have created different endings to these sentences, share at least six of your sentences with your classmates. Discuss that which this exercise has helped you become aware. .

Annotated Bibliography Althaus, F. “U.S. Maternal Mortality Has Continued Its Decline, but Risk Remains Higher among Minority Women.” Family Planning Perspective, vol. 23, no. 3, May 1991, pp. 140–141. EBSCOhost, doi: 10.2307/2135829. According to the article by F. Althaus, the development in the American health system has continuously transformed the health sector and the delivery environment among expectant mothers. When compared to the previous era, expectant White-American mothers are delivering safely, specifically those who live in states where the quality of health infrastructure and services are high. Unfortunately, though, the population of people of color’s maternal mortality rate is increasingly reporting the highest in minority communities due to the low quality of health infrastructure and services in their living environments. Althaus presents that both maternal and child mortality rates among Black mothers are three times that of Whites. This author stretches the discussion to address the long history of birth oppression among Black mothers and the strategies that have been applied to suppress these oppressions. The author outlines that the Black, marginalized, population contributes significantly to the American ecosystem. Therefore, providing quality service, especially for the expectant mothers of color, should be something the federal government sees as a must do instead of coming up with illegal family planning approaches with a hidden agendas. It is imperative that equity prevails for all races during maternity and childbirth. El Sayed, Abdulrahman M., et al.: Social Environment, Genetics, and Black-White Disparities in Infant Mortality."Paediatric & Perinatal Epidemiology, Vol.29. no.6. November.2015.pp.546-551.EBSCOhost.doi:10.1111/ppe.12227 The above article presents information on genetics and one’s surroundings as the factors that interplay and produce the wellness of the population within a given place. The article discusses parental race differences and vulnerabilities of infant mortality rates through studying how genes and a person’s environment could shape these perinatal vulnerabilities. El Sayed found that the dynamic of child deaths continue to increase among the black community with said improvement in the health sector impacting only the white population. Instead of genetics being the main impact on child deaths, it is shown that race-driven prejudice and structural socio-economic opportunities of social surroundings is a great explanation of why there are racial differences in infant mortality rates. Despite these factors being proven to be contributing to the number of deaths among infants, the government does little to address the associated risk factors. The author recommends that the federal government could mitigate the social factors and introduce more diverse healthcare providers to promote wellness among Black-American expectant mothers. .

Ann, a community nurse, made an afternoon home visit with Susan and her father. After the death of her mother, Susan had growing concerns about her father living alone. "I worry about my father all the time. He is becoming more forgetful and he has trouble seeing. Mom used to take care of him. I am not sleeping and I am irritable around him. Yesterday I shouted at him because he wouldn't let me help him with his laundry. I felt terrible! I am at my wits' end! My brothers and sisters do not want to put dad in a nursing home but they are not willing to help out. As usual, they have left me with all the responsibility. I work part time and have two small children to care for.” Susan's father, Sam, sat quietly with tears filling his eyes. He was well nourished and well-groomed but would not make eye contact. Nurse Ann noticed that the house was clean and orderly. A tray in front of the TV had the remains of a ham sandwich and glass of ice tea. Mail was piled up, unopened on a small table near the front door. There was only one car in the driveway and the yard was in need of attention. .

Andrea Walters' Week 2 Main Post: The key functional area of nursing informatics relevant to me is education and consultant. Education is relevant as newly hired nurses need education to be competent with the electronic health records (EHR) used in the specialty. I precept nurses new to oncology and educate them on how informatics is used in oncology, how data is placed into the EHRs and how then used by informaticists. Consultant is relevant when there has been an issue, I have been used as a consultant and a liaison between nursing science and computer science. I have given my knowledge to the EHR developers on how they may better serve other oncology practices. Although I have been used as a consultant, oncology is constantly changing. Technology informatics guiding education reform (TIGER) has core competencies for specific areas. One core competency area under direct patient care is enhance information and knowledge management (Hubner et al., 2018). This competency will aid me to become more proficient in oncology and using a database by engaging in researching upcoming and new evidence-based practice. This competency is necessary to help identify problems and become part of the solution instead of waiting on the organization to develop solutions. The plan for developing this competency is to subscribe to an oncology journal, such as The Oncology Nurse to further my education outside of work, and research evidence-based practice through the organization’s research database, CINHAL. I will set aside 30 minutes twice weekly to research and read to develop this competency. Developing this competency will help refine and improve my skills and move from being a good to an expert nurse consultant and educator. Continuing education concentrating on informatics is necessary for all nurses in order to productively participate with content and dialogue that correlates to the informatics realm as nursing informatics is a rapidly changing field (Yen, Kennedy, Phillips & Collin, 2017).

Analytical Research Project Instructions INFA 630 – Intrusion Detection and Intrusion Prevention Summary This is a paper describing the results of an analytical research project, worth 25% of your total grade. Your paper should be 10-12 pages, double-spaced, exclusive of cover, title page, table of contents, endnotes and bibliography. Your paper must use APA formatting with the exception that tables and figures can be inserted at the appropriate location rather than added at the end. Following UMUC policy, all students must upload their papers to Turnitin.com (following instructions provided by your instructor), produce and review an originality report, and submit the final version of the paper to your Assignment Folder prior to the submission deadline. Paper Topic Selection Prior to writing your paper, you must submit a short, ungraded, topic proposal. You should submit your intended research paper topic by the end of Session 3. The purpose of this preliminary milestone is to provide your instructor the opportunity to confirm the appropriateness of your proposed topic, sufficiently early in the course to allow for topic revision if necessary. It will be helpful if you include, with your proposed paper topic, the sort of research you intend to do and any specific sources you may have already found or plan to use in researching your topic. Your instructor will provide feedback on the suitability of the proposed topic by the start of Session 5. Students who do not provide a proposed topic will be preparing their research papers "at risk;" i.e. , they will run the risk of delivering a paper reflecting research that is not suitable for this course. Analytical Research Project The purpose of the Research Project is to develop an in-depth understanding of the intrusion detection and/or prevention technology and the way in which such technology is used to protect specific computing environments against specific threats. To arrive at this understanding, your project may choose to follow either one of two analytical approaches: 1. Analysis of a tool or technique including functional applicability and limitations 2. Analysis of environmental security requirements and technologies to meet those requirements Tool-centric Research : Projects of the first type will focus on a specific tool, technique, or method used in intrusion detection or intrusion prevention. Choosing a topic for this type of project will mean selecting the tool you want to research and analyze and developing a research question or thesis statement that your research is intended to answer. The analysis for a tool-centric research project should emphasize the use and application of the tool, technique, or method rather than a simple explanation of its features. If you choose a product or tool with a broad set of capabilities, you may choose to provide an analysis of one or more aspects of the tool. The paper distills fundamental issues, focuses on one available solution, a.

Analyze Communication in a Movie You will choose a communication concept on which you will focus in the movie. See text chapters for topics As you prepare to analyze communication in the movie, you might imagine that, as experts about the topic chosen, you have been asked to create an educational presentation for people outside the class. The presentation you design should be: • Attention-getting • Memorable • Impactful • Smart and well informed (use terms, theories, and examples from the book and from published research) • Deep and insightful. (Go beyond common sense or what the average person who watches the movie would notice. Overall Tips and Guidelines • Treat the action in the movie as if it really happened. This means you needn’t mention who played which role or anything like that. Instead, focus on the characters as if they are real people. • Go deep. Look and listen so closely that you notice communication phenomena that other people miss or take for granted. • Don’t summarize the entire plot. Instead, zero in specific aspects that are relevant to your topic. contribute fully. Graded Components The project involves a combination of individual work and team work, as reflected in the following outline. You will complete the project in stages so that you can stay on track and receive feedback throughout the semester. Brainstorm and then Watch the Movie Before Watching the Movie: Make notes in advance about concept-relevant terms, ideas, and tips from the book so you can focus on them in the movie. During the Movie: Have your notes on hand for quick reference. • Keep an eye out for anything in the movie relevant to your topic. • Jot down notes throughout the movie. • After the movie, Push yourself beyond common sense and obvious evidence. Go deep. Your goal is to teach the audience something they don’t already know. Develop a Thesis Statement and Planning Outline After reviewing the guidelines and standards of excellence that follow, create a planning outline that presents a clear and interesting thesis statement, three main points that support your thesis statement, and examples from the movie that support each main point. (This outline doesn’t yet incorporate published research reports. That will come later.) Drafting a Thesis Statement Your thesis should be a provocative, interesting, and supportable argument you make about the significance or impact of your communication topic in the movie. It’s important to focus on a particular aspect of the communication topic chosen. Bad Thesis Statement: Characters in the movie display nonverbal communication. Good Thesis Statement: In the movie While You Were Sleeping, as Lucy becomes less lonely and isolated, her clothing gradually changes to symbolically reflect her brighter outlook. Identifying Main Points: Your presentation should have three main points, each one supporting the argument you make in your thesis statement in a specific way. Depending on what you are trying to prove, your.
