Complete the following below for question 300-500 words:

 

England’s influence on colleges was strong in the colonial and early postcolonial period of the United States, but the colleges “were remarkable and complex, a hybrid of legacies, transplants, deliberate plans, and unintended aspirations” (Thelin, 2011, p. 11). Evolving and competing beliefs about what should be taught and how it should be taught are a central theme in the development of higher education. As Harada (1994) stated, “the curriculum history of American undergraduate education has largely been a reflection of the shifting perceived needs of society” (p. 1).

 

For this question, examine curriculum change as presented by Harada (1994) and determine what you believe are the key internal and external factors that have influenced curriculum change over time. Provide an example of each of the factors that you mention. Then, “Identify” factors evident today that you believe will lead to curriculum change in the near future. Explain why you consider each of these factors significant.

DISCUSSION 2

 

 

 

When is the last time you had a conversation about addiction? It probably was not recently, if ever. Face it: this is not the kind of thing most people choose to discuss.

 

Because people don’t talk much about this subject, there are many aspects of addiction that people do not understand. In fact, most of us probably have misconceptions about addictions.

 

Please research what some of these myths are. Find out, based on your research, whether or not these myths are true.

 

Some people think alcoholics can stop drinking on their own, without help, for good, if they were to just have will power. Do you think that is true? Is marijuana addictive? Are addictions simply bad habits?

Question is below answer within 300-600 words:

 

Debates have ensued over the past two centuries between advocates of vocational curriculum and those who support studying the classics. In particular, the Yale Report of 1828 “functioned as both a public target for critics of American colleges, and as a sword and shield for college defenders” (O’Hara, n.d., Introduction). Consider the tenets of the Yale Report (linked above) and complete the following:

  • Identify the aspects of the Yale Report (parts I and II) that you see as closely related to current practices in philosophy, teaching, and curriculum design.      
    • Which aspects seem unrelated?
  • Make the case for the Yale Report’s premises for future curricula regardless of your personal opinion.

In the Final Research Paper, you will

 

  • Describe an aspect of your own culture from an etic (outsider’s) perspective in Part I of the paper.
  • Describe an aspect of another culture from an emic (insider’s) perspective in Part II of the paper.
  • Apply cultural relativism in order to examine misconceptions about culture that may occur due to ethnocentrism.
    • Keep the distinction between cultural relativism and moral relativism in mind as you write your final paper.
    • Even if you do not personally agree with a cultural practice, explain how the practice makes sense in its cultural context.
    • Avoid opinionated or judgmental language in your paper.
  • Analyze your chosen aspect in terms of how it developed as part of a social system within both your culture and another culture.
  • Analyze your chosen aspect in terms of its purpose as part of a social system both within your own culture and another culture.

The Background and Significance of the CNIO

 

            Healthcare is a field that is constantly changing, facing new challenges, and overcoming problems with patient care; which is why technology is becoming one of the most important aspects of healthcare. Nurses are at the forefront of patient care as they spend the most time with the patient, chart, and care for patients over a twelve-hour period. The CNIO, short for the Chief Nursing Informatics Officer, is a role that was introduced to healthcare facilities directly to overlook the electronic medical record, and to better optimize its use and functionality (McCleerey, 2019). The role was meant to solely manage healthcare providers use of the EMR, but new research is showing the need for a paradigm shift from the CNIO’s focus on its own EMR, to working with developers and vendors to create better programs and change weak links in the current EMR. (McCleerey, 2019).

 

How the CNIO Relates to Healthcare Informatics

 

            The Chief Nursing Informatics Officer directly relates to healthcare as the forefront of health care is based off the development of new technology (McCleerey, 2019). Documentation, research, education, and evidence-based practice have all shifted to using software, computers and cloud data storage. The CNIO overlooks the technology adopted by facilities to better optimize patient care and time management in healthcare and will soon move on to helping developers create better software that focuses on patient care rather than time optimization (McCleerey, 2019). Because CNIO’s directly overlook hospital technology, they have a strong relationship with today’s healthcare system.

 

The Opportunities and Challenges CNIO’s Face

 

            CNIO’s, just like other nursing specialists, face many opportunities and challenges, but CNIO’s have a rapidly evolving job description, allowing for a variety of rewards and problems to come up. CNIO’s can change nursing for the better by implement systems that give patients better and safer care. The challenges that CNIO’s face directly relate to the new role that the must adopt: relaying information to developers and working with vendors to change and create better software and technology (McCleerey, 2019). Both the opportunities and challenges allow for a rewarding and exciting career as a nurse.

 

The Benefits of the Electronic Health Record on Quality and Safety in Patient Care

 

            The EHR help health care providers access patient’s medical history: which is an important aspect of treatment. From the EHR alone, nurses and doctors can see allergies, past procedures, scans and x-rays, and other important patient history and problems. By accessing this, providers can help to make the best decisions using evidence-based practice to give the highest quality care to patients (Sewell, 2019).
