HEA 560 Milestone Three Guidelines and Rubric

5. Because the clear majority of higher education institutions are
not self-sustaining enterprises, many are dependent upon state
and federal forms of financial
assistance, whether those funds are indirectly obtained through
students’ federal or state financial aid awards, directly obtained
through state appropriations, or
whether the funds support other aspects of the enterprise,
including research and development. Given the expense of
higher education to state and federal
government, students, families, or other donors, these important
stakeholders increasingly hold higher education institutions
accountable for student outcomes.
In order to retain state and federal funding, higher education
institutions must achieve accreditation, which is most often
granted by regional accrediting
agencies. Each of the six regional accrediting bodies in the
United States has its own set of standards by which institutions
are judged in three dimensions:
assessment of student learning outcomes, assessment of overall
institutional effectiveness, and ongoing strategic planning
activities.
The wide variety of stakeholders in higher education have
demanded greater transparency in terms of institutional
accountability. Therefore, programs like the
Voluntary System of Accountability provide formal means for
institutions to share data regarding their undergraduate profiles,
undergraduate success and
graduation rates, financial aid awards to students, admissions
profiles, classroom environments (e.g., class sizes, student-to-
faculty ratios), and percentages of
full-time faculty. With these data elements more readily
available to the public than they were in the past,
stakeholders—including students, parents, and
legislators—are better able to discern whether institutional

6. investments are paying off and judge whether institutions are
performing as well as they should.
While external stakeholders, including governmental officials,
are increasingly holding institutions responsible for achieving
student success outcomes, it is
important not to neglect the internal stakeholders who are often
responsible for implementing policies. For instance, an
admission policy seeking to increase
students’ enrollment may mean that existing admission staff
need to review more admission applications, lead more students
on tours, or respond to more
inquiries. Increased headcounts affect the number of courses
offered by departments and programs, potentially impacting
faculty teaching workloads. Internal
stakeholders advocating for enrollment of students from diverse
backgrounds may point toward the lack of multicultural student
services as a potential problem
in recruiting new students. The capacity of internal stakeholders
to support—or stymie—the recommendations of policies should
be carefully considered at this
stage of policy development.
In Module Five, you will create a stakeholder map providing a
visual representation of the internal and external stakeholders
and narrative statements discussing
these stakeholder perspectives in more detail. Additionally, you
will consider the impact on internal stakeholders —those who
work in areas of institutional
operations—and develop an action plan for how you would work
in concert with these stakeholders to enact your proposed
policy.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

7. I. Internal and External Stakeholders
a. Recommend internal and external stakeholders to participate
in the crafting of the policy and what their roles will be in the
crafting of the
policy. You might also consider the possible impacts of the
policy: Which internal and external stakeholders should be
invited to attend? What
are the roles of the internal and external stakeholders?
b. Integrate the perspective of a higher education professional
as discussed in your one-to-one interview with a professional
regarding the state,
federal, and institutional policies believed to have the greatest
impact on students’ access and success.
c. Create a stakeholder map using a power interest grid of
internal and external stakeholders. Describe these stakeholder
populations in more
detail and rank those that you believe will have the most
influence on the decision to enact the policy, will be most
negatively affected by the
policy’s implementation, and will have the most to gain from
the policy’s implementation.
d. This critical element will require a minimum of one to two
pages following APA format.
II. Action Plan and Additional Resources
a. Design an action plan that will result in necessary responses
from internal and external stakeholders to the implementation of
the policy. Based

8. on possible consequences of the implementation of policy, you
might consider predicting potential responses from
stakeholders. In preparation
for these responses, what are some proactive strategies that
could impact future decision making regarding the
implementation of policy?
b. Describe additional resources, for and from internal and
external stakeholders, that the institution will need to provide
and identify based on
implementation of the policy. Consider comparing and
contrasting the original policy, as depicted within the mission
and vision, and the new
policy. What are some of the justifications for the additional
resources?
c. Describe how you might work with internal and external
stakeholders to implement the policy most effectively. Develop
specific steps that you
will take, including proactive strategies you may take to work
with stakeholders. Create an outline for a communications plan
to meet the needs
of these stakeholders.
d. This critical element will require a minimum of one to two
pages following APA format.
III. Institutional Impacts
a. Analyze the impact of institutional operations for increasing
enrollment, retention, and completion through implementation
of this policy.
b. Describe how institutional operations may need to adjust to
meet the policy requirements. Provide a minimum of three
examples of areas of

9. institutional operation that may be affected. Predict how your
proposed policy will impact internal institutional stakeholders
and consider how
these stakeholders will respond to the policy given their roles in
policy implementation. Compose two to three responses that
you may consider
using when discussing the policy outcomes with those
stakeholders.
c. This critical element will require a minimum of one to two
pages following APA format.
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper must be submitted as a
four- to five-page (plus a cover sheet and reference page)
Microsoft Word document with double
spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins,
and at least three sources cited in APA format (following the
APA Manual 6th Edition). Ensure that
the cover sheet and reference page as also in APA format.

Ethical Concerns
Assignment Question
As an advanced practice nurse, you will run into situations
where a patient’s wishes about his or her health conflict with
evidence, your own experience, or a family’s wishes. This may
create an ethical dilemma. What do you do when these
situations occur?

15. In this Lab Assignment, you will explore evidence-based
practice guidelines and ethical considerations for specific
scenarios.
To Prepare
Review the scenarios provided by your instructor for this
week’s Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements”
section of the classroom for your scenarios.
· Based on the scenarios provided:
· Select one scenario, and reflect on the material presented
throughout this course.
· What necessary information would need to be obtained about
the patient through health assessments and diagnostic tests?
· Consider how you would respond as an advanced practice
nurse. Review evidence-based practice guidelines and ethical
considerations applicable to the scenarios you sel ected.
The Lab Assignment
Write a detailed one-page narrative (not a formal paper)
explaining the health assessment information required for a
diagnosis of your selected patient (include the scenario
number). Explain how you would respond to the scenario as an
advanced practice nurse using evidence-based practice
guidelines and applying ethical considerations. Justify your
response using at least three different references from current
evidence-based literature.
The Ethics Behind Assessment – CASE STUDY
A single mother has accompanied her two daughters, aged 15
and 13, to a women’s health clinic and has requested that the
girls receive a pelvic examination and be put on birth control.
The girls have consented to the exam but seem unsettled.
· Be sure you are addressing each requirement on the
assignments. Read the rubric in order to meet the content
requirements.

16. · When writing, using headings to keep your paper on topic and
to be sure you are covering the main components is very
helpful.
· Be concise. While you have to address each component, they
are also parts of a whole. Do not write a dissertation for
everything or even any one piece.
