In this paper I would like you to address Black Boy, part I, specifically, in some way. The rest is up to you.

Consider: we see that Wright’s family is unable to make ends meet in the world because of the system of segregation in the post Civil War south. Can Richard Wright make his dream to become a respected writer and intellectual happen in such an environment?

Maybe you want to relate his situation to that of Alexandra, who is subject to some gender discrimination.

You might want to look at the articles we have read and comment on the fact that our dreams may sometimes be unattainable. Who does get to have it all, really? Sandler will tell us that even if you marry well, get the job you want, and have the two kids, the result might be really disappointing. How would Wright react to this truth?

Perhaps you can compare Richard Wright’s childhood with that of the orphan, Ragged Dick. What is the role of race in the efforts of each boy to secure his future?

Please use direct references from our course readings and credit the sources appropriately using APA documentation. Aim for about 750 words, or about 2 and 1/2 pages.

I am also pasting the pointers I cataloged after reading your first essays:

In your introduction, please note the texts you will be referring to in the paper.  The thesis or main point that you will be arguing should also appear in your introductory paragraph.
Please note the sources when you use quotations in your work.
For some of you who are rusty in writing academic papers, try reading your paper out loud.  Wherever you want to pause, you should consider a comma or a period.  It’s a cheat but it generally works.
Sandwich your quotes with your own writing so you can show why you selected each one and why it is important to your argument.  You can put in a great quote but if you don’t connect it to your argument, I guarantee your reader won’t do as good a job as you would!
This work should be no more than 750 words, typed, double-spaced.  You must use some or all of the course readings and reference them as such.

Why EBP is an essential component of the practice of a BSN-prepared RN

Essay: Why EBP is an essential component of the practice of a BSN-prepared RN

GIVE A POSITIVE COMMENT BASED ON THIS ARGUMENT

Discuss why EBP is an essential component of the practice of a BSN-prepared RN. Identify two ways in which you will continue to integrate evidence into your practice and encourage it within your work environment. What obstacles could challenge this plan, and what steps will you take to minimize their impact?

ORDER A PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPER NOW

The EBP is such an important part of the BSN-RN because it helps to show how important research is and it shows the other side of nursing and others ways we can stand up for our patients. Two ways that I will continue to use evidence in my practice are first I will continue to research ways to improve falls in the hospital. The second way I will use and encourage evidence into my practice is to try to educate the other nurses around me on the importance of evidence and research. If I can do this then it will continue to help the nursing field for years to come. The main obstacle that could stand in my way is the amount of work nurses already have on their shoulder. That being said the nurses will most likely resist the change because of the lack on time they have but if I continue to push the issue then I can get them to turn around little by little. It might take a while but as long as I’m persistent I can get them to change.

Example 4A: Contractual Allowances

Contractual allowances represent the difference between the full established rate and the agreed-upon contractual rate that will be paid. An example was given in the text of Chapter 4 by which the hospital’s full established rate for a certain procedure is $100, but Giant Health Plan has negotiated a managed care contract whereby the plan pays only $90 for that procedure. The contractual allowance is $10 ($100 less $90 = $10). Assume instead that Near-By Health Plan has negotiated its own managed care contract whereby this plan pays $95 for that procedure. In this case the contractual allowance is $5 ($100 less $95 = $5).

The Benefits of Nursing Leadership

Nurses as Leaders in Health Care Reform

As health care delivery in the United States continues to evolve, either through mandates,

improved technologies and training, or other drivers, nurses remain at the forefront in facilitating

the success of new initiatives. In 2010, the Institute of Medicine formed a committee of experts to

address the following question: “What roles can nursing assume to address the increasing demand

for safe, high-quality, and effective health care services” In the final report of the committee, The

Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health, the authors stated:

This report offers recommendations that collectively serve as a blueprint to (1) ensure that nurses

can practice to the full extent of their education and training, (2) improve nursing education, (3)

provide opportunities for nurses to assume leadership positions and to serve as full partners in

health care redesign and improvement efforts, and (4) improve data collection for workforce

planning and policy making. (p. 10)

For this Discussion, you will focus on the research recommendations presented by the committee concerning the role of nurses as leaders. The committee members believe that answers to these research questions are needed to advance the profession of nursing and to further expand their role in health care reform and improvement.

To prepare:

•Review Chapter 7 in The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health report provided in

the Learning Resources. Focus on the information in Box 7.3, “Research Priorities for Transforming

Nursing Leadership.”

•Select one of the research priorities listed in Box 7.3 that is of particular interest to you and applicable to your career interests. Consider the benefits and challenges of researching and addressing this priority in nursing.

•Using the Walden library, identify two to three current articles that address your selected research priority. Consider the current state of research efforts on this priority.

•Reflect on how the research findings for your area of priority impact nurses as leaders in organizations and health care reform. Why is research on this priority important

What is an ethical transgression?
Maintaining confidentiality

Ethical transgressions are dishonest actions. One of the most known ethical transgressions is maintaining confidentiality. This is a very clear ethical value in most jobs. For example, doctors are held to HIPPA laws that require they maintain confidentiality by not discussing their patients unless that patient has signed a release stating it is ok to share their information. Doctors may face dilemmas that challenge this law. An example could be if a doctor tells a patient’s diagnosis to someone who is visiting the patient. If the patient has not told the doctor it is ok to discuss their diagnosis then that doctor broke the law. Maybe a doctor would feel it was necessary to share the information so the patient could have some help but the doctor cannot share anything without permission. Students attend classes in graduate school to learn how to follow ethical guidelines so they are prepared for these situation (Koocher & Keith-Spiegel, 1998).

What ethical traits, concepts, and principles are presented in this article?
Ethical concepts in the article;
Confidentiality
Professional boundaries

Ethical traits guide people in their everyday life and in making decisions that are founded on ethical beliefs. Some situations highly test a person’s ethical and moral values. What someone decides makes up the kind of a person they are and how far they are willing to go to achieve a solution to a specific problem. Ethical traits are the guiding principles governing a certain code of behavior. Several ethical traits can be mentioned in regard to the article some of which are confidentiality, professional boundaries (Fly et al., 1997).Minor things can force people to compromise their basic principles. Education ethics should be able to emphasize on issues regarding confidentiality and professional boundaries. In this case, there was a failure to maintain the confidentiality of the other people. A good example is when a student transporting files that involved confidential information for fellow students left them in a public place and they were lost. Students should also not engage in conversations of a romantic or intimate manner with clients, supervisors or fellow students especially if the conversation is of harassing nature.
4How was the chosen ethical issue an example of poor ethical decision making?
The violation of confidentiality is detrimental to the wellbeing of the patient as it breaks the trust they have with their care providers. Without trust, a proper treatment plan cannot be implemented as the patient is less likely to tell the whole truth.

People trust psychologist not to talk about or share their information without informed consent. Not taking care of patient records and securing them is another example of breech of confidentiality. When people feel that their confidentiality has been breached, they will no longer trust psychologist. Without trust the patient will not divulge all of the information to the psychologist. Without the all of the information, the psychologist cannot recommend a proper treatment for the patient. Not to mention, breaches of confidentiality are violations of APA ethical standards, federal law, and some local laws.
