Please answer the following questions:

Question 1:
“Theoretical Orientations and Integrated Perspectives”  Please respond to the following:

Of the five (5) theoretical orientations of learning, explore the one (1) that most closely aligns with your philosophical approach to teaching and learning. Next, construct an adult learning scenario where the blending of theoretical orientations would be most appropriate for the learner population therein. Justify your response.

Appraise the different approaches (e.g., biological, psychological, sociocultural, etc.) which may influence the myriad of methods by which adults construct learning. Suggest key instructional strategies that you might use that favor an integrated approach to teaching within a diverse learning context. Provide examples of such strategies in use in order to support your response.

Question 2:
“Adulthood, Cognitive Development, and Multiple Intelligence”  Please respond to the following:

Analyze one (1) of the Neo-Piagetians theories of cognitive development discussed within Chapter 13, and examine the primary ways in which the chosen theory falls short in addressing adult learners from a different class, ethnicity, gender, and / or social context. Suggest specific implications of applying the chosen conceptualization within a learning setting comprising adult learners. Justify your response.

From the e-Activities, defend or critique the results generated from your unique M.I. Snowflake. Next, examine at least one (1) criticism of the application of Gardners multiple intelligences theory within an adult learning setting, and give your opinion of the validity of the criticism in question.

Question 3:
“Memory, Cognition, and The Brain, as They Relate to Adult Learners”  Please respond to the following:

Recommend key instructional strategies geared toward facilitating the transfer of knowledge to long-term memory. Next, suggest approaches that instructors may use in order to compensate for the challenges of storage information storage and retrieval that occur with age.

From the e-Activity, compare the results of the two (2) quizzes / tests that you have taken. Distinguish the common thread(s)or lack thereofthat the results yielded.

Please respond to each post with at least a 100 words. You must cite and reference your response.

post 1:
In the 1980s, the personal computer (PC) emerged, and revolutionized the utilization of technology in various aspects (Nelson & Staggers, 2018, p.595). For instance, healthcare providers became direct users of computers, which promoted the use of technology to better patient outcomes (Nelson & Staggers, 2018, p.595). Patient medical history/data was gathered, interpreted, and organized into EMR/EHR systems, increasing the efficiency of healthcare institutions and better yet, patient safety. In addition, authorized healthcare providers may share patient information with more than one healthcare organization; thus, patient outcomes increase through coordination of care. In addition, patient participation increases with the use of an EHR and facilitates communication with a provider. Overall, Health information technology (HIT) has been shown to improve patient safety, especially with processes and applications that improve clinicians’ decision making, documentation, and communication (Helwig & Lomotan, 2016). Hand in hand with the use of an EHR, technological options vary readily available for patient care, such as wearable technology, interactive patient technology, and smart technologyleading towards fewer adverse events.

And yet, our healthcare system fails, as with the case of John Alexander James. Considerations for patient safety care begin at or even prior to admission and continue after discharge follow-up. There was a lack of consideration for patient safety in John Alexanders case. To begin, basic medical errors were made with regards to lab values. Per Dr. James, John Alexanders potassium level was consistently low and left untreated, resulting in his death (Patient Safety Movement, 2019). In addition, various EKGs depicted an arrhythmia, representative of a long QT intervalpossibly as a result of the untreated hypokalemia. At this point, healthcare providers should have responded to manage these symptoms. They had the data, information, and more than likely the knowledge to treat John Alexander, but failed on the wisdom of nursing (Nelson, 2018). Wisdom is demonstrated when the nursing data, information and knowledge are managed and used in making appropriate decisions that meet the health needs of individual (Nelson, 2018). Furthermore, John Alexander was deceived that a cardiac MRI was performed; however, the available technicians were not readily trained to utilize the equipment (Patient Safety Movement, 2019). This resulted in John Alexander pushed further into invasive procedures, a cardiac catherization and electrophysiology test (Patient Safety Movement, 2019). The use of technology can only be effective to better patient outcomes if proper training for equipment/procedures is done prior to implementation. In addition, there was a major lack of communication throughout his treatment, discharge instructions, and follow-up appointment. For example, an EHR system will alert if a lab value is out of range, coordinate appropriate follow-up care, and electronically provide detailed discharge instructions; however, basic, yet key communication among care providers lacked significantly. The accumulation of errors resulted in an adverse event for John Alexander James.

Post 2:
1) Mr.James has his Ph.D. which helps him with being a great advocate for health education and his son. He has knowledge of the healthcare system based on his education. Mr. James went through the parent role in losing his son seeing things from a different view. Having been on both sides gives him great knowledge to pass on to others by sharing his story.

2) Some lessons to learn would be to look into learning more about the diagnosis to be sure they are correct and that everything was done to get a correct diagnosis and treatment, there was miss diagnosis in Alexs case. Communication was another error as no one warned him not to run after the first collapse on the discharge papers. It took after Alex died for anyone to let his father know that an MRI was done wrong due to poor training (ihi).

3) Technology can promote better healthcare by having better communication between providers by email, messaging, and online video chats. It can also help by giving access to records and Dr. orders reducing medication errors thus providing patient-centered care to all (HIMSS).

The essay Eulogy for Clementa Pinckney references the bad parts of American history: slavery in the 19th century, and Jim Crow laws in the 20th century. When President Obama repeats Rev. Pinckneys words [a]cross the South, we have a deep appreciation of history – we havent always had a deep appreciation of each others history (p. 554) what does he mean? Decide if acknowledging the bad parts of Americas history (specifically racism) is equally important as celebrating the good parts of its history? Why? If citizens acknowledge the bad parts of Americas history do you think that this acknowledgement might help fight racism in America? Why or why not?
