Develop 5 ethical standards to implement
Develop 5 ethical standards to implement ON Develop 5 ethical standards to
implementComplete the following for your Key Assignment draft:In preparation for your
Key Assignment, you have discussed corrective action, resolved a management problem
with employees showing resistance to change, and developed an organizational chart.
Prepare a summary of these tasks.Research and develop a mission and values statement for
a facility.Describe what types of health care this facility will provide.Summarize their
purpose and services provided, such as the type of health care, number of staff, type of staff,
size, departments, and so forth.Submit a 3-5 page paper not including title page and
reference page using APA format.Part 2 Length 2-3 pagesAdd the following in 2-3 pages
(not including title page and reference page) of new information and content to your Unit 4
IP draft to your Key Assignment:Develop 5 ethical standards to implement at your chosen
facility.Research 2 companies with ethical standards, and develop standards in your own
words.2 APA references are required.How would you present this information to staff
during orientation or training?Describe this training.You must proofread your paper. But do
not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so
indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly.
Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read
over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as
necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious
errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Develop 5 ethical
standards to implementUse a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch)
typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are
hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than
to try to compress it into fewer pages.Likewise, large type, large margins, large
indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning
(space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of
a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.The paper must
be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of
each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark
ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.ADDITIONAL
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASSDiscussion Questions (DQ)Initial responses to the DQ
should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly
source, and be at least 250 words.Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something
new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at
least one scholarly source.One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement
or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive
responses should be at least 150 words.I encourage you to incorporate the readings from
the week (as applicable) into your responses.Weekly ParticipationYour initial responses to
the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.In addition
to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate
days, for a total of three replies.Participation posts do not require a scholarly
source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Develop 5 ethical standards to
implementPart of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement
and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you
understand everything that is due during the week.APA Format and Writing
QualityFamiliarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for
most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success
Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples,
tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if
required).Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also
requires a citation.I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.Use of
Direct QuotesI discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the
Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.As Masters’ level students, it is important that
you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other
resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding
of the content or critical analysis of the content.It is best to paraphrase content and cite
your source.LopesWrite PolicyFor assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite,
please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE
you do a “final submit” to me.Once you have received your report, please review it. This
report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed.
Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these
mistakes.Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase
well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?Visit
the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for
tips on improving your paper and SI score.Late PolicyThe university’s policy on late
assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.Please
communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to
be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on
extenuating circumstances.If you do not communicate with me before submitting an
assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.I do not accept assignments that are two
or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.As per policy, no assignments
are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last
day of class will not be accepted for grading.CommunicationCommunication is so very
important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:Questions to Instructor
Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a
question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for
the class.Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me
messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.Develop 5 ethical standards to
