Topic: Patient Safety in the Hospitalized Setting during a Pandemic
Clinical Problem: How does the shortage of PPE during the pandemic affect patient safety compared to before the pandemic.
· Ever since the February 2020, the US has been faced with a severe shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) necessary for healthcare workers battling the COVID-19 pandemic. Without proper PPE, there is an increased risk of become ill which can subsequently reduce the quality and quantity of care provided to hospitalized patients (Cohen & Rodgers, 2020).
· According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention there has been a total number of 27,737,875 COVID-19 cases in the United States and 491,455 deaths within the last 30 days. The shortage of PPE has had a major effect on the nursing practice. One of the workarounds has been the reuse of single-use disposable masks or N95 respirators. It is reported that 27% of nurses have been in contact with positive COVID-19 patients without wearing appropriate PPE (Cohen & Rodgers, 2020).
The Research Process
· For this assignment, it was important to have a clear and relevant clinical problem that tremendously impacts nursing.
· Once we discussed different ideas, we arrived at a mutual agreement regarding our clinical problem and PICOT question that we will focus the group RUA on.
· Since we all completed previous research on the same clinical problem but had different PICOT questions, we peer reviewed articles that were relevant to the decided group PICOT question.
· We approved articles as a group that were published within the last 5 years.
· We all had assigned parts of the RUA to focus on but helped our team members as needed.
The Research Process, Cont’d.
What went well?
The group communicated efficiently and in a timely manner. We used different means of communication such as group chat, email and google docs, that allowed us to proficiently execute this assignment.
Barriers Encountered
When compiling references, there were duplicated articles that had to be eliminated. There were a few misunderstandings as far as the clarity of the assignment however, it was quickly resolved.
What is still needed?
Since the shortage of PPE is such a current clinical problem, research is still developing as the issue becomes resolved. Therefore, further evaluation and analysis is required to fully understand the magnitude of this issue.
Correlation to Identified Clinical Issue
Overall, our research findings as a group correlates to our clinical iss ...

Owing to the increasing rates of hospital readmissions arising from poor transitional care it is essential to implement a program that will see to it that the current challenges facing transitional care are addressed and that there is an increase in specialized nursing to help foster the provision of transitional care. Currently, the health care committee has proposed a number of interventions that need to be implemented by the project manager to see the improvement of transition care, especially in relation to dealing with elderly patients (Morphet et. al., 2014). Some of these interventions that have been proven to result in the reduction of patient readmission rates among them patient needs assessment, patient education, medication reconciliation, timely outpatient appointment as well as the provision of telephone follow-up services (Morphet et. al., 2014).It is essential that once the patients are discharged from hospitals that they continue to receive enhanced communication, medication safety and that their caregivers receive advanced care planning and training on how to best manage the associated common medical conditions (Ortiz, 2019). As a result of the currently proposed interventions, the project aims to target the challenges on transition care by defining the role of home-based services, the significance of caregiver support, community partnerships and the importance of new transitional care personnel (Ortiz, 2019). The project manager has gone as far as proposing the time frame that it will take to see the realization of the effects of the project, a practical budget as well as the resources and tools that will be used in the project to see the successful realization of the transitional care program.

FEEDBACK FOR M7 Draft PPT Slides
Hello Dear Student,
The main feedback is that you might review the structure - so that the slides in your main body section align with the main points described on slide 7.
The main body section has many different headings so I'm not seeing those four definitive sections. Maybe, having figured out what you really are covering, you can work backwards and reword the main points on that the slide 7, using new main points based on what you actually covered and making sure the order you've put them in make logical sense.
After those corrections, you are ready for the Final Project Submission.

Staffing, What Does It Cost?
Nurses have a responsibility to their patients to deliver quality healthcare and to keep patients safe. According to a report conducted by the American Nurses Association (2015) there is a new emphasis placed on cost containment and the first group being affected by cost-cutting measures is staffing (p. 4). This is not a very good idea since the majority of patient care falls on nurses and “appropriate nurse staffing levels are essential to optimizing quality of care and patient outcomes in the era of value-based healthcare (American Nurses Association [ANA], 2015, p. 4). This writer would like to explore how staffing affects patient care in regards to quality, outcomes and level of satisfaction. In addition, this writer would also like to explore the affect short-staffing has on the nurse and how the organization benefits financially from cutting staff. In the end, this writer would like to seek creative, cost-effective solutions that would benefit the nurse, the patient and the organization.
Impact of Staffing
Organizations believe that by cutting staff they are saving money to help their bottom-line, which is not unreasonable because everyone has a responsibility to be cost-conscious in today’s world. However, the reality may differ from what the organization believes that they are gaining. Lower staffing can have detrimental effects on patient care and outcomes and increase the risk of patient harm. When staffing is not adequate to care for patients it increases the risk for hospital acquired infections, medication errors, falls, missed treatment, and even death.
When staff levels are low and nurses are expected to perform too many tasks with too little time in a twelve-hour shift, staff burnout is sure to happen which will lead to high staff turnover. With the push to have more registered nurses with their Bachelor’s degree on the belief that they can deliver better more efficient care, will more likely open the door for the nurse to seek employment elsewhere. In the end, the nurse does not like to put pa ...
Discussion 1How Competing Needs May Impact the Development of VinaOconner450
Discussion 1
How Competing Needs May Impact the Development of a Policy
For my previous discussion post, I discussed how staffing shortages can lead to burnout due to increased workloads and longer hours. Burnout has been shown to significantly increase medication errors, reduce patient outcomes, and reduce productivity which decreases the quality of patient care overall (Bakhamis et al., 2019). Nurses will also become overwhelmed working in stressful environments, creating lower job satisfaction scores and lower nurse retention (Bakhamis et al., 2019). Because of this need to prevent burnout in nurses, the policy would need to be developed to address having an adequate nurse-to-patient ratio while also balancing budget costs. Despite attempts to develop policies to help healthcare organizations, competing needs related to the workforce and lack of resources make it difficult to address the shortage.
Nursing leaders would need to develop a policy that can create a supportive environment for nurses to care for patients safely. The goal would be to improve patient outcomes and improve retention, decreasing burnout. For example, developing a policy to establish set nurse-to-patient ratios depending on the unit. Adequate staffed units have been shown to result in lower mortality rates, shorter hospital stays, and less risk for adverse risks like medication errors (Saville et al., 2019).
Specific Competing Needs that May Impact Nurse Shortages
For adequate staffing, there needs to be a balance between the funds available and the organization’s available budget so that it is sustainable while also providing the best patient outcomes. In other words, there needs to be staff and funding available for this to happen. Within my healthcare organization, we have used travelers to fill in shifts to help supplement staffing. There have been times when the number of travel nurses outnumbers staff nurses on a given shift. While these travelers provide much-needed help, they also have expensive contracts and will work a few months per their contracts. When discussing this dilemma with hospital leadership, we have been told this process is not sustainable in the long run. Instead, the hospital risks losing more money in paying travelers than losing staff nurses. According to Kelly and Porr (2018), this is an example of how the business model of healthcare can negatively impact nurses and their ability to provide safe, high-quality patient care. Over time this can increase nursing stress due to ethical dilemmas, increase burnout, and ultimately worsen staffing anyway (Kelly & Porr, 2018).
Nurses should recognize these issues as serious ethical dilemmas as patients risk subpar care due to increasing healthcare costs. Milliken (2018) suggests nurses develop ethical awareness, by challenging situations and understanding the outcomes of these actions. For example, in my healthcare organization, we have discussed how the lack of staffing can lead to increa ...

Re: Topic 6 DQ 1
Topic 6 DQ 1
Hospitals around the world were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Early during the pandemic is was not clear how health care utilization and spending would change. Most expected health cost to increase during the pandemic but surprisingly statistics show that health care use and spending decreased dramatically in 2020 due to cancellations of elective care to increase hospital capacity and social distancing to help reduce the spread of Covid-19. The drop in health spending in 2020 reflects a decrease in utilization for non-Covid medical care. (Cox et al., 2021)
As the health care industry maneuvered through the pandemic it became evident that the quality of nursing would be changed forever. Health care professionals had to make daily changes in the way they cared for Covid-19 patients. This in turned changed the quality of care. Health care professionals were forced to change their daily routines in how they cared for patients due to the limited supplies of personal protective equipment. Limiting bedside care to minimize possible nurse exposure to the virus.
Although burnout in the health care professional began long before the Covid-19 pandemic, health care leaders will learn from the past and work toward implementing change, so it does not continue. Challenges that nurses have faced during and after the Covid-19 pandemic are burnout, compassion fatigue, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. With the already acknowledged shortage of nurses across the nation the psychological issues if not addressed will lead to nurses finding new careers. The clinical aspect of the health care industry continues to be deeply affected by this.
My change project interventions will have a direct impact on the financial, quality, and clinical aspect of the health care industry.
The health care industry cannot function without nurses and their knowledge and specialties. Each department of the hospital requires nurses to have special knowledge for the department to run smoothly and care for patients. Elective surgeries generate millions of dollars to a hospital therefore nurses and other health care professionals are needed to provide care and generate this type on income.
As the health care industry makes strides to return to a “new normal” nurses will be able to conduct bedside care with less fear of being exposed to Covid-19.
With support from administration my change project will have an impact on the mental health of health care professionals that have treated Covid-19 patients. With mental health support, telemedicine evaluations, and Chaplains on call for counsel and prayer psychological issues will be reduced, reducing burnout, stress, depression, compassion fatigue, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
By offering health care professionals psychological support will indirectly affect overall hospital production, income, and patient satisfaction.

IV. Implementation Plan
Assess the factors that are likely to affect the implementation of your recommended activities
Many stroke patients require rehabilitation after their hospitalization and many patients get readmitted from post-acute care facilities, educating these facilities could decrease the readmission rate however rehabilitation facilities are often short-staffed and may not have money for education amongst the staff
Identify evidence-based rationales to propose how you will address them, incorporating your identified change theory. Your plan should encompass the following with evidence to support your rationale:
Technological challenges
Stroke patients require adequate follow-up care with their health provider team, tele-health is a great way to provide these follow-up appointments however stroke patients may not be able to navigate computers to be able to do these appointments as they frequently have deficits.
Stroke health care providers would have to learn how to use tele-health and there may be push back to using it due to health care providers typically using hands on assessment skills, they may not find assessing patients this way adequate. Finding a group of health care providers that are willing to start treating patients this way is the first step.
Institutional structures
Changes in hospitals do not happen overnight. At my state run hospital it seems to take forever to get any changes made. Implementing education regarding how to reduce stroke readmissions would require research and then approval from many different committees to even be approved for implementation. Once approved then it has to be sent all to all hospital staff involved. Examples of committees that a hospital will have and that any changes would have to go through are finance, safety and quality, strategic planning, and audit and compliance committee (Price, 2018).
Strategies for building buy-in-among different stakeholders, including nursing
Doctors, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, physical therapists, social workers, and case managers will need to be on board with the change process. Historically nurses have a hard time with change.
Financial trends and anticipation of the availability of human resource and project funding
Implementing tele-health and training to decrease stroke readmission, mostly education and new ways to check that everything a patient needs, will cost money which the institution will have to be prepared to put into their budget. Institutions get penalized financially for readmis ...

Assessment of the knowledge, practice, and the associated factors of Healthcare Acquired Infection Prevention
Healthcare acquired infection/nosocomial infection/hospital acquired infections are becoming a major international challenge in many healthcare facilities especially in the low or middle income nations. It is anticipated that around 10 percent of patients in the healthcare facilities from developing nations are developing healthcare acquired infections and this subsequently leads to negative impacts on healthcare outcomes. It also leads to increase hospital stay, economic burden, morbidity cases, and increase in the mortality incidences. Some of the common healthcare acquired infections include Hepatitis B and C virus, HIV infections, and even Tuberculosis which are often transmitted by healthcare workers who are not observing the practice related to the infection prevention measures.
According to the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 1.7 million patients who have been hospitalized as a result of acquiring infection within the facilities while undergoing treatment for other healthcare concerns. Many studies reveal that simple infection control procedures like cleaning of the hands using alcohol-based hand rub is helping in the prevention of the spread of the disease. The increase in the infection rate caused by the healthcare acquired infection is due to the poor practices of infection prevention and control, lack of knowledge or failure to implement knowledge related to the process of preventing and controlling nosocomial illnesses, and other associated f.

Introduction
The nursing profession is faced with many challenges like any other. The nurse is tasked with the duty to take care of patients by visitation and to have the ability to study the problems to satisfy their patient’s .to to give the nurses the ability to know their work well; they are taking with the work of identification of duties that they are supposed to handle. There have been many challenges facing the nurses in their fold of work .such has been due to the shortage in the workforces as compared to the patient workload. (Lu, et al. 2015). Thus comes the need for the nurse to work for long hours without getting time to rest. When the nurses are overworked, they end up being over-exhausted in which in turn will result in the nurses underperforming.
The problem is crucial because the nurse is needed to take care of the patients. Thus the lesser the nurse who is present the healthcare facilities, the lower the work output that the facilities will meet with. The understaffing of the nursing facilities results in the problem that there are also other factors then come to hand. The lack of the nurses will make the experts present within the facility lack time to do their research due to lack of time.
Time is need for analysis of the data that has been obtained for patients to be done, if the nurse is not enough within the facilities, then that ability of the health care facilitates to allocate the needed number of the nurse to get the analysis of the result will be in lack. Therefore the facility will fail to give the satisfaction required to the public and the patient who are in the facilities. Consequently, the number of nurses who are within many organization are concerned with healthcare needed to be checked. This will help in the elevation of the care with the patients and the wards. (Lu, et al. 2015). He challenges that nurses face in the line of duty need to be taken care of.
The government and the concerned partied need to recruit enough nurses to help in the allocation of the services and the care that is needs by the patients within the diverse and spread health care facilities. (Wang, et al. 2017).
Importance of the research
Researches have been done to try and know the problem that the nurses face when in line with their duty. The study is intended to see the question of the nurse’s face and help in the environment of the issues because then nurses play a care role in the society in the healthcare if the patient and the people in general. Also, the study will help many organizations to have a clear picture of the problems and the challenges that the nurses in the course of doing their work. Also, the best facilities will be improved do other nurses after knowin.

Introduction
The world today is faced with very dangerous infectious diseases due to antibiotic resistance and in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has named this escalating antibiotic resistance as one of the top five threats in the country (CDC, 2017). According to statistics from the CDC, drug-resistant bacteria cause more than 20, 000 deaths annually and result to 2 million cases of disease recurrence annually (Lagier et al., 2015). For this reason, there is an increased need to make changes to the clinical practice to encourage appropriate use of antibiotics. In late 2014, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) published a report on how to combat.

ewly appointed Police Chief Alexandra Delatorre of the Anytown Police Department (APD) has been attending several town and city council meetings whereby she has heard numerous complaints about the increase in armed robberies being committed by the local transients (homeless people) in and near the Anytown Gallery Shopping Mall. Chief Delatorre checked with the crime analysis unit of the department to obtain information on the crime statistics for robberies in the area of the shopping mall. The crime analysis unit determined that there was 75% increase in the number of robberies between 2009 and 2011. The chief attended a meeting with the shopping mall executives and learned that there had been a steady increase in the number of businesses leaving the mall, which served as major sources for employment and revenue for the city.
One week ago, Chief Delatorre drove to the shopping mall one evening at 9:30 p.m., before the mall was about to close, and discovered that several sections of the subterranean multilevel parking lot had poor lighting and no security gate that secured the parking area, and the guard shack was in an obscure portion of the first level and appeared to not have been used for quite some time. She also found what appeared to be small “camps” of blankets, trash, old and dirty clothes, and metal shopping carts that belonged to different local grocery stores in the far corners of the parking lot on the lower two levels. There was also a very strong odor of urine in the area of the “camps.”
Chief Delatorre has convened you and your team to make recommendations on addressing the problem of the robberies at the shopping mall. She wants to implement a program using the community-oriented policing (COP) philosophy. She has several specific areas that need to be considered for the COP program to reduce or even eliminate the robberies at the shopping mall. She would like to give the program a name. You are to compose a written memo that addresses the following::

FEEDBACK FOR M7 Draft PPT Slides
Hello Dear Student,
The main feedback is that you might review the structure - so that the slides in your main body section align with the main points described on slide 7.
The main body section has many different headings so I'm not seeing those four definitive sections. Maybe, having figured out what you really are covering, you can work backwards and reword the main points on that the slide 7, using new main points based on what you actually covered and making sure the order you've put them in make logical sense.
After those corrections, you are ready for the Final Project Submission.

Staffing, What Does It Cost?
Nurses have a responsibility to their patients to deliver quality healthcare and to keep patients safe. According to a report conducted by the American Nurses Association (2015) there is a new emphasis placed on cost containment and the first group being affected by cost-cutting measures is staffing (p. 4). This is not a very good idea since the majority of patient care falls on nurses and “appropriate nurse staffing levels are essential to optimizing quality of care and patient outcomes in the era of value-based healthcare (American Nurses Association [ANA], 2015, p. 4). This writer would like to explore how staffing affects patient care in regards to quality, outcomes and level of satisfaction. In addition, this writer would also like to explore the affect short-staffing has on the nurse and how the organization benefits financially from cutting staff. In the end, this writer would like to seek creative, cost-effective solutions that would benefit the nurse, the patient and the organization.
Impact of Staffing
Organizations believe that by cutting staff they are saving money to help their bottom-line, which is not unreasonable because everyone has a responsibility to be cost-conscious in today’s world. However, the reality may differ from what the organization believes that they are gaining. Lower staffing can have detrimental effects on patient care and outcomes and increase the risk of patient harm. When staffing is not adequate to care for patients it increases the risk for hospital acquired infections, medication errors, falls, missed treatment, and even death.
When staff levels are low and nurses are expected to perform too many tasks with too little time in a twelve-hour shift, staff burnout is sure to happen which will lead to high staff turnover. With the push to have more registered nurses with their Bachelor’s degree on the belief that they can deliver better more efficient care, will more likely open the door for the nurse to seek employment elsewhere. In the end, the nurse does not like to put pa ...
Discussion 1How Competing Needs May Impact the Development of VinaOconner450
Discussion 1
How Competing Needs May Impact the Development of a Policy
For my previous discussion post, I discussed how staffing shortages can lead to burnout due to increased workloads and longer hours. Burnout has been shown to significantly increase medication errors, reduce patient outcomes, and reduce productivity which decreases the quality of patient care overall (Bakhamis et al., 2019). Nurses will also become overwhelmed working in stressful environments, creating lower job satisfaction scores and lower nurse retention (Bakhamis et al., 2019). Because of this need to prevent burnout in nurses, the policy would need to be developed to address having an adequate nurse-to-patient ratio while also balancing budget costs. Despite attempts to develop policies to help healthcare organizations, competing needs related to the workforce and lack of resources make it difficult to address the shortage.
Nursing leaders would need to develop a policy that can create a supportive environment for nurses to care for patients safely. The goal would be to improve patient outcomes and improve retention, decreasing burnout. For example, developing a policy to establish set nurse-to-patient ratios depending on the unit. Adequate staffed units have been shown to result in lower mortality rates, shorter hospital stays, and less risk for adverse risks like medication errors (Saville et al., 2019).
Specific Competing Needs that May Impact Nurse Shortages
For adequate staffing, there needs to be a balance between the funds available and the organization’s available budget so that it is sustainable while also providing the best patient outcomes. In other words, there needs to be staff and funding available for this to happen. Within my healthcare organization, we have used travelers to fill in shifts to help supplement staffing. There have been times when the number of travel nurses outnumbers staff nurses on a given shift. While these travelers provide much-needed help, they also have expensive contracts and will work a few months per their contracts. When discussing this dilemma with hospital leadership, we have been told this process is not sustainable in the long run. Instead, the hospital risks losing more money in paying travelers than losing staff nurses. According to Kelly and Porr (2018), this is an example of how the business model of healthcare can negatively impact nurses and their ability to provide safe, high-quality patient care. Over time this can increase nursing stress due to ethical dilemmas, increase burnout, and ultimately worsen staffing anyway (Kelly & Porr, 2018).
Nurses should recognize these issues as serious ethical dilemmas as patients risk subpar care due to increasing healthcare costs. Milliken (2018) suggests nurses develop ethical awareness, by challenging situations and understanding the outcomes of these actions. For example, in my healthcare organization, we have discussed how the lack of staffing can lead to increa ...

Outline
-Defining the scope of the recruitment work plan, nursing residency enhancement, and career development projects.
-Allocation of responsibilities to stakeholders of the project departments.
-Estimate and create workable timelines and activities for each team.
-Note down the budget for the project.
The project involves an action plan to ensure quality improvement in the nursing profession. It is based on the fact that there is a significant shortage of nursing practitioners, which directly affects their quality of service. The action plan itself involves defining the nature of the recruitment work plan, which will be in connection to the newly graduated nurses with no experience and using their feedback on the job to determine if they will retain them. The work plan will involve questionnaire interviews, group sessions, and one-on-one interviews about the state of the job as the nurse continues.
The action plan will also include research on the state of nursing residency facilities at different medical institutions and later crafting proposals to the medical center and the government department involved in their nursing residency facilities with recommendations. Th ...

Re: Topic 6 DQ 1
Topic 6 DQ 1
Hospitals around the world were impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Early during the pandemic is was not clear how health care utilization and spending would change. Most expected health cost to increase during the pandemic but surprisingly statistics show that health care use and spending decreased dramatically in 2020 due to cancellations of elective care to increase hospital capacity and social distancing to help reduce the spread of Covid-19. The drop in health spending in 2020 reflects a decrease in utilization for non-Covid medical care. (Cox et al., 2021)
As the health care industry maneuvered through the pandemic it became evident that the quality of nursing would be changed forever. Health care professionals had to make daily changes in the way they cared for Covid-19 patients. This in turned changed the quality of care. Health care professionals were forced to change their daily routines in how they cared for patients due to the limited supplies of personal protective equipment. Limiting bedside care to minimize possible nurse exposure to the virus.
Although burnout in the health care professional began long before the Covid-19 pandemic, health care leaders will learn from the past and work toward implementing change, so it does not continue. Challenges that nurses have faced during and after the Covid-19 pandemic are burnout, compassion fatigue, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. With the already acknowledged shortage of nurses across the nation the psychological issues if not addressed will lead to nurses finding new careers. The clinical aspect of the health care industry continues to be deeply affected by this.
My change project interventions will have a direct impact on the financial, quality, and clinical aspect of the health care industry.
The health care industry cannot function without nurses and their knowledge and specialties. Each department of the hospital requires nurses to have special knowledge for the department to run smoothly and care for patients. Elective surgeries generate millions of dollars to a hospital therefore nurses and other health care professionals are needed to provide care and generate this type on income.
As the health care industry makes strides to return to a “new normal” nurses will be able to conduct bedside care with less fear of being exposed to Covid-19.
With support from administration my change project will have an impact on the mental health of health care professionals that have treated Covid-19 patients. With mental health support, telemedicine evaluations, and Chaplains on call for counsel and prayer psychological issues will be reduced, reducing burnout, stress, depression, compassion fatigue, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
By offering health care professionals psychological support will indirectly affect overall hospital production, income, and patient satisfaction.

Assessment of the knowledge, practice, and the associated factors of Healthcare Acquired Infection Prevention
Healthcare acquired infection/nosocomial infection/hospital acquired infections are becoming a major international challenge in many healthcare facilities especially in the low or middle income nations. It is anticipated that around 10 percent of patients in the healthcare facilities from developing nations are developing healthcare acquired infections and this subsequently leads to negative impacts on healthcare outcomes. It also leads to increase hospital stay, economic burden, morbidity cases, and increase in the mortality incidences. Some of the common healthcare acquired infections include Hepatitis B and C virus, HIV infections, and even Tuberculosis which are often transmitted by healthcare workers who are not observing the practice related to the infection prevention measures.
According to the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention, there are about 1.7 million patients who have been hospitalized as a result of acquiring infection within the facilities while undergoing treatment for other healthcare concerns. Many studies reveal that simple infection control procedures like cleaning of the hands using alcohol-based hand rub is helping in the prevention of the spread of the disease. The increase in the infection rate caused by the healthcare acquired infection is due to the poor practices of infection prevention and control, lack of knowledge or failure to implement knowledge related to the process of preventing and controlling nosocomial illnesses, and other associated f.

Introduction
The nursing profession is faced with many challenges like any other. The nurse is tasked with the duty to take care of patients by visitation and to have the ability to study the problems to satisfy their patient’s .to to give the nurses the ability to know their work well; they are taking with the work of identification of duties that they are supposed to handle. There have been many challenges facing the nurses in their fold of work .such has been due to the shortage in the workforces as compared to the patient workload. (Lu, et al. 2015). Thus comes the need for the nurse to work for long hours without getting time to rest. When the nurses are overworked, they end up being over-exhausted in which in turn will result in the nurses underperforming.
The problem is crucial because the nurse is needed to take care of the patients. Thus the lesser the nurse who is present the healthcare facilities, the lower the work output that the facilities will meet with. The understaffing of the nursing facilities results in the problem that there are also other factors then come to hand. The lack of the nurses will make the experts present within the facility lack time to do their research due to lack of time.
Time is need for analysis of the data that has been obtained for patients to be done, if the nurse is not enough within the facilities, then that ability of the health care facilitates to allocate the needed number of the nurse to get the analysis of the result will be in lack. Therefore the facility will fail to give the satisfaction required to the public and the patient who are in the facilities. Consequently, the number of nurses who are within many organization are concerned with healthcare needed to be checked. This will help in the elevation of the care with the patients and the wards. (Lu, et al. 2015). He challenges that nurses face in the line of duty need to be taken care of.
The government and the concerned partied need to recruit enough nurses to help in the allocation of the services and the care that is needs by the patients within the diverse and spread health care facilities. (Wang, et al. 2017).
Importance of the research
Researches have been done to try and know the problem that the nurses face when in line with their duty. The study is intended to see the question of the nurse’s face and help in the environment of the issues because then nurses play a care role in the society in the healthcare if the patient and the people in general. Also, the study will help many organizations to have a clear picture of the problems and the challenges that the nurses in the course of doing their work. Also, the best facilities will be improved do other nurses after knowin.

Introduction
The world today is faced with very dangerous infectious diseases due to antibiotic resistance and in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has named this escalating antibiotic resistance as one of the top five threats in the country (CDC, 2017). According to statistics from the CDC, drug-resistant bacteria cause more than 20, 000 deaths annually and result to 2 million cases of disease recurrence annually (Lagier et al., 2015). For this reason, there is an increased need to make changes to the clinical practice to encourage appropriate use of antibiotics. In late 2014, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) published a report on how to combat.

6 Pages
ewly appointed Police Chief Alexandra Delatorre of the Anytown Police Department (APD) has been attending several town and city council meetings whereby she has heard numerous complaints about the increase in armed robberies being committed by the local transients (homeless people) in and near the Anytown Gallery Shopping Mall. Chief Delatorre checked with the crime analysis unit of the department to obtain information on the crime statistics for robberies in the area of the shopping mall. The crime analysis unit determined that there was 75% increase in the number of robberies between 2009 and 2011. The chief attended a meeting with the shopping mall executives and learned that there had been a steady increase in the number of businesses leaving the mall, which served as major sources for employment and revenue for the city.
One week ago, Chief Delatorre drove to the shopping mall one evening at 9:30 p.m., before the mall was about to close, and discovered that several sections of the subterranean multilevel parking lot had poor lighting and no security gate that secured the parking area, and the guard shack was in an obscure portion of the first level and appeared to not have been used for quite some time. She also found what appeared to be small “camps” of blankets, trash, old and dirty clothes, and metal shopping carts that belonged to different local grocery stores in the far corners of the parking lot on the lower two levels. There was also a very strong odor of urine in the area of the “camps.”
Chief Delatorre has convened you and your team to make recommendations on addressing the problem of the robberies at the shopping mall. She wants to implement a program using the community-oriented policing (COP) philosophy. She has several specific areas that need to be considered for the COP program to reduce or even eliminate the robberies at the shopping mall. She would like to give the program a name. You are to compose a written memo that addresses the following::

Performing Effective Project Monitoring and Risk Management
Imagine that you are employed as an IT project manager by a prestigious coffeemaker organization. This organization operates many coffee shops within the region and would like to promote its brand by creating a mobile application that will provide its customers with the ability to view the nearest coffee shop location within their geographical area.
As a member of the software development team, you estimate a total project cost of $150,000. You have designated control points to measure project progress. At control point 2, the following data is available:
Budget Cost of Work Performed
$ 24,000
Actual Cost of Work Performed
$ 27,500
There are various stakeholders that are interested in the progress of the project. These stakeholders include the marketing management team (internal customers), software designers, programmers, testers, and upper management. The software development team has attempted to release a mobile application of this magnitude in the past; however, lack of sponsorship, mobile development expertise, and technical infrastructure has limited the team’s success.
Write a four to six (4-6) page paper in which you:
Identify at least four (4) attributes of the mobile application development project that can be measured and controlled and evaluate how each is a critical factor for the success of the project.
Generate a project plan summary of the various project milestones. Develop a WBS that details work packages required to complete project scope.
Develop a workflow model that can be used to inspect and detect defects during the acceptance of this mobile product through the use of graphical tools in Microsoft Word or Visio, or an open source alternative such as Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
Describe how the defects detected during the acceptance of the mobile application should be reported and explain the circumstances in which a defect may not require reporting.
Analyze the communication needs of the different project stakeholders. Explain the types of project status reports that would be useful to each.
Compute the cost variance, schedule variance, cost performance index, schedule performance index, and estimated actual cost using the information presented at control point 2. Interpret the project schedule and budget status from the calculations.
Explain how work package, binary tracking, and earned valued reporting can be used effectively during the maintenance phase of the software life cycle if various change requests may be assigned to individuals and processed on an individual basis.
Develop a risk register that will document all of the estimated risks. Assign one (1) risk management technique for each risk and explain the basis for your selection.
Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

50 words minimum
This week's audio is very informative but one point stuck out to me the most. I found it interesting that a big issue is the struggle to have communication between agencies, municipalities, and federally. It brought up that an example of this is communication through radio. Each individual has completely different equipment which makes communication with anyone outside of the agency via radio impossible. You would think with today's technology they would find away to maintain easy communication between all emergency related organizations. This would ensure that they all are on the same page and can have effective cooperation during big emergencies such as 9/11. What are the methods of communication that currently exist and how do they help different emergency related agencies stay connected?
The first Amendment is a so important to our way of life so when it is abused and people die should the media be held responsible? There are attempts to hold gunmakers liable for gun deaths so is it the same with media when they provide inaccurate information that may then cause violent protest?
Given the perpetual imbalance between funding and needs in emergency services and criminal justice, what are possible sources of funding for a emergency management training, equipment, and sustainability?
The Department of Homeland Security and FEMA as well as various state and federal grants can be requested to assist in funding the various state and local agencies in their Emergency Management related maintenance and training. The equipment and personnel are expensive to have and to keep current in training so any help with grants and donations is always appreciated. Could local fund drives help?
Do you support a national standard for communication equipment for emergency management? If not, why not? How would agencies pay for interoperability communications?

500 word discussion on the passage to answer question at the botto.docxGrazynaBroyles24
500 word discussion on the passage to answer question at the bottom
The authors of our text have suggested that there are no obvious or absolute "priority relations" among the six basic moral values. This means that in any conflicts posed by applying different values to cases, there are no general rules for deciding which values are more important. We have to take each case on its merits.
They might be right about this. It's a commonly held perspective on moral values.
In the Lecture I discussed the relation between Justice and Compassion.
We sometimes encounter conflicts between these two values, and I think the story of Robin Hood is the classic tale of such conflict. Robin Hood acted compassionately in robbing from the rich to give to the poor.
Now I'm assuming that the rich deserved their wealth, and did not acquire it unjustly. That is, I am supposing that Robin Hood was not moved by his sense of justice, on this count (but see below). This is a controversial assumption, for there are those who would argue that the rich (or at least, the inordinately rich) could not have become that rich without transgressing some moral principle. But I will make this assumption in order to simplify the discussion. So let us assume that the rich people Robin Hood took from had not made their fortune unjustly. But even this does not mean that Robin Hood was wrong to take from them. It could be, from the perspective of some sort of duty theory, that the rich had a duty to take care of the poor, and they had failed in this moral duty. So Robin Hood was correcting their immoral behavior (not in obtaining the wealth, but in not dispensing it as they ought to). He was moved by the suffering of the poor, and the immorality of the rich in not responding to this suffering, which makes him a compassionate and moral hero. (By the way, I am not committed to this view--I am mentioning it to show you that there is much more to be discussed here than might meet the eye of our 21st. century, prior to philosophical reflection.
The questions, therefore, are:
Is Robin Hood acting justly, or unjustly but because he is moved by compassion?
Could a compassionate Robin Hood ever be
right
to violate the rules of justice in order to alleviate suffering?
With regard to the second of these, I assume that the standard answer in our 21st. Century culture would be: No; justice should always win in conflicts with compassion. So there is at least one absolute priority relation between two of the basic moral values in the set.
Do you agree? Why or why not?

Scenario
You are a probation officer and have a client, Paul Rosen, who was recently released from prison and is a registered sex offender. One of the obligations of a probationer is to keep in close contact with his probation officer. This particular probationer failed to maintain contact with you for a period of 4 months. During your effort to find Paul Rosen, you find out that Paul was involved with a woman who has three children, ages 6, 9, and 14. You feel compelled to contact this woman and find out whether she knew that Paul was a registered sex offender who is out of prison on probation. During the conversation, she was appreciative that you had concerns but explained that Paul told her that he was involved with a 16-year-old, but that the girl had lied to him about her age. She said his conviction was the fault of the girl's parents, who convinced the daughter to press charges as a way to keep him away from her. She said it was not a big deal because the girl lied to Paul about her age. During your conversation with the woman, you feel compelled to tell her about John's past of molesting two girls, ages 4 and 7.
Analyze this scenario, and discuss the following:
Describe how you would handle this situation using normative ethics?
In applied ethics, you do not deal with the facts of individual cases. You focus on applying ethical rules to a class of cases. Describe the class or type of case represented here.
After determining the type of case, describe the professional code of ethics that may apply to this type of case?
Based on the rule you would apply to this type of case, what should you do as a probation officer in this type of case?

5-6 paragraphs
Interagency
is relatively recent as a term, yet as a concept, it has been in practice to varying degrees for as long as nations have had governments, fought wars, engaged in international commerce, or extended diplomacy. What is arguably a recent expansion of the interagency concept is the level of inclusiveness—that is, the broader scope of who is invited to participate in interagency activities. Also recent is the compulsion to use it, be it by leaders, for policies, or just from a plain "need" to employ an interagency approach to decision making and problem solving.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Abstract
The covid-19 pandemic is presenting a great issue to the
3. provision of quality healthcare services to the patients. The
process of dealing with the covid-19 pandemic requires well-
being of the nurses both physically and mentally. The mental
and physical issues caused by the nursing shortages affects the
delivery of quality healthcare services and improvement in the
safety of the patients during this pandemic. The shortages of
numbers increase the possibilities of medication errors and this
tampers with the quality healthcare services delivered to the
patients. It increases the risks of infections for both nurses and
patients thus extending the chain of covid-19 transmission.
Nursing shortages in the covid pandemic
The identified clinical issue is on how nursing shortages during
this covid pandemic is putting nurses and patient at risk within
the healthcare facilities. Nursing shortages are described as a
situation whereby the demand for the nursing professionals like
the registered nurses is exceeding the supply either locally,
nationally, or globally. COVID-19 has affected millions of
individuals in the entire world and this has overwhelmed the
healthcare systems of the nations. It has also affected healthcare
providers like the nurses who are considered to be on the
frontline in helping to protect the lives of every individual who
is affected. Nursing shortages are amongst the issue that affects
the performance of the nurses in the facilities. Due to the rise in
the number of patients who are visiting the facilities for chronic
illness, both nurses and patients are highly exposed to the risk
of covid infections (Arabi et al., 2020).
The need for change
The risk of nurses to covid infection is associated with the
shortages in nurses. The shortages of nurses imply that they are
working under a high level of pressure and this is affecting the
mechanisms of dealing with COVID-19. The severity of nurse
shortages affects the process of handling emergencies and
disasters. Many healthcare facilities were not prepared for this
pandemic hence are considered to be less resilient. The shortage
of nurses is considered to be a lower level of resilience and this
4. affects the sustainability of the healthcare services as well as
the well-being and health of the nurses. When nurses are
working under pressure, it is becoming hard to follow the strict
guidelines and adhere to the protocol that is set to help in
handling the patients (Arabi et al., 2020).
Nursing shortages not only affects the physical well-being of
the nurses but also their mental health. This exposes patients to
an increased rate of errors such as exposure to nosocomial
infections like COVID-19-associated hospital infections. These
infections are then passed from one patient to the other and then
to the families. The infection is also passed from one nurse to
another nurses. This problem makes it impossible to break the
chain of COVID-19 infections (Arabi et al., 2020).
The best practice to the issues
Several solutions can help in dealing with the issue of nurse
shortages during this covid pandemic. According to Legido-
Quiley et al (2020), it is important to recall the retired nurses
who are experienced in handling emergencies and pandemics. In
this case, the retired or the staff nurses who are well equipped
with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes are called upon to help
in the provision of holistic care for the patients who are
infected with covid-19. This solution is important since it
ensures that the healthcare facilities increase their abilities to
receive more patients (Legido-Quigley, et al., 2020).
Another solution is for the financial department along with the
CFO to work together and find a good enough pandemic salary
to offer current employees and new ones in order to keep them
from seeking employment elsewhere. Also, calling volunteers
like the nursing interns and student nurses who are in the final
semester of nursing school and ready to have an experience of
working in a clinical setting is also a good idea. In this case, it
is necessary to ensure that nurses are having clear plans for the
management and supervision of the volunteers when identifying
their roles and tasks that are supposed to be accomplished. The
nursing experts must be brought on board to help in dealing
with emergencies and dangerous situations. These nurse experts
5. can help in outlining the potential risks from the pandemic and
help in the creation of the long-term plan that is important in
the modification of the risks (Thobaity et al., 2019).

PART 2
Abstract
The study is meant to help in analyzing the strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that define the current
situation of nurses’ shortage during this pandemic to enable
and promote the provision of quality healthcare services and to
develop suggestions. The study herein is qualitative
research. During this covid-19 pandemic, it has been difficult to
handle the situation as the number of infections is greater than
the number of nurses available. A large number of infections is
more than the estimated nurse-patient ratio (Renato 2018).
Strengths of the nurse shortage solutions
In this case, the retired or the staff nurses who are well
equipped with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the
provision of holistic care for the patients who are infected with
6. covid-19. The retired nurses provide efficient knowledge and
skills in handling patients due to the experience and familiarity
in dealing with such matters. This is a positive impact that helps
in solving the problem of nurse shortage and provide the current
nurse with the overtime experience on how to handle difficult
situations without falling victim one same.
This solution is important since it ensures that the healthcare
facilities increase their abilities to receive more patients and
attend to a large number of sick people being brought in without
much strain as work will be subdivided because there are
enough personnel.
Another proposed solution is that the financial department along
with the CFO to work together and find a good enough
pandemic salary to offer current employees. This is because
nurses have a lot of work to do and therefore require a lot of
motivation not to give up (Butt 2015). Paying nurses, a fair
amount will encourage them to be more committed in their job
and promote service provision. Salary increment will also lead
to a rise in a student willing to venture into the nursing
field and this will help improve the healthcare
department by quality service provision while keeping them
from seeking employment elsewhere
Using student interns as volunteers during this intense moment
will also help in providing the nursing department with extra
personnel and the government will also be able to save money
of having to employ more nurses and use the funds in
providing medicines and other health equipment (Prosen2021).
Involving nursing experts to help in dealing with emergencies
and dangerous situations can help in outlining the potential
risks from the pandemic and help in the creation of the l ong-
term plan that is important in the modification of the risks
(MARTIN 2010).
Weaknesses of the proposed solutions
The weaknesses related to this suggestion is that the nurses
shall be required to work overtime due to the increased number
of patients leaving very little time for the nurses to rest and
7. attend to their activities or even spent time with their families.
Salary increment is a benefit to the nurses but has its weakness
in that it shall lead to inequality and wage distortion in various
medical and allied positions. Using student interns as volunteers
have its shortcomings in that the students are not working under
contract this in case they mess or commit a certain wrong to a
patient there shall be no recourse. The volunteers are not
expecting to be paid and thus they are not going to provide
efficient services to patients as they lack motivation and likely
not to assist the health sector
much (Khanlou and Orazietti 2020).
Opportunities that may arise from the suggested solutions
To avoid using retired nurses and the pressure of
nurse’s shortage, the society shall realize the need for nurses,
and this shall encourage more people to join the
nursing platform. The suggestions
shall present opportunities for research as they create a wide
research area. It shall also provide student volunteers or interns
with the ability to solve problems and be able to think
practically through the nursing profession and work under
expert guidance.
Implementation of these suggestions shall provide a very
large working field where patients can share
their situations with nurses easily. The experience shall provide
an opportunity for the nurses to perceive and serve as life
coaches to patients.
Threats against suggested solutions.
Using retired nurses to solve the shortage of nurses has got its
shortcomings too, retired nurses are often old. Old age is
associated with a low immune system as there is a reduction in
the production of the B and T cells by the bone marrow and
thymus making them vulnerable to the underlying pandemic. We
could thus lose important people in the society as the pandemic
would be a threat to their immune system. The suggestions also
pose a high risk for contracting occupational Illness or
contagious diseases for example COVID-19, the safety
8. equipment provided is not enough to be used by every nurse
(Rani 2020).
The nurses shall also face a high rate of exhaustion experience
as the high number of patients being brought in shall
require attention and this demands that the nurses be on their
feet most of the time working up and down to help the patients
this it’s so tiresome.
The nursing experience shall also sleep deprivation
and biological arrhythmia to personnel.
Conclusion and suggestions.
According to the qualitative research which was carried out
through the analysis of the SWOT to provide an actual plan
for quality improvement, the data helps to determine that there
are opportunities under the nursing profession and it is thus
important to deal with nurses shortage by trying out the use
of experts in the field and recalling retired nurses in times of
need to present their expertise in the field once again and the
strength in using student interns as volunteers shall encourage
students to get the urge to take the opportunity presented to
them and this shall settle the issue of nurse shortage especially
during pandemic when their services are most needed.
