The AACN essential I have chosen to elaborate on is Essential II. Essential II: Basic Organizational and system Leadership for Quality Care and Patient Safety. I consider this essential extremely important in my current and future nursing practice. “As a member of a healthcare team, baccalaureate graduates will understand and use quality improvement concepts, processes, and outcome measures. In addition, graduates will be able to assist or initiate basic quality and safety investigations; assist in the development of improvement action plans; and assist in monitoring the results of these action plans within the clinical microsystem, which is embedded within a larger system of care” (AACN, 2014 p 13). As a clinical nurse, it is of the utmost importance for me to maintain patient safety. When patient safety is not achieved, then it is imperative to improve and investigate ways in which patient safety can be enhanced.

Essential II is currently being used in my professional nursing career during our UBT (Union based team) meetings. During these meetings, we discuss ways in which we can improve different things in our unit; one of them being patient safety. By having a better understanding on quality care and patient safety, I believe I will be better qualified to improve safety to the patients in my unit.

I believe all the nine nursing essentials will have an impact on my nursing career because they are all crucial to our nursing practice. Nursing as we know it, would stop evolving without these nine essentials. “The demands of twenty-first-century health care services will continue to test the nursing profession’s ability to maintain high caliber care that meets contemporary societal needs. Historically, the nursing profession has consistently demonstrated its ability to adapt to changing and varied health care needs. There is little doubt that nursing will continue to maintain its status as an extremely important profession, serving the health needs of the nation” (University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing).

Instructions

Please choose one of the following questions to answer for this unit by Wednesday at 11:59pm (CST). You should also respond to two of your classmates’ postings by Sunday at 11:59pm (CST).

Before answering this unit’s questions, you should view the film Perfume: The Story of a Murderer directed by Tom Twyker and complete the novel of the same name written by Patrick Suskind.

Keep in mind, as you view the film and read the novel, a few of the questions posted below.

Rubric

Online discussions will be graded according to the following rubric.

Full-bodied entries—of at least ten sentences of writing from you (in addition to quotations from the text)—are more likely to receive full credit. Lesser credit will be assigned to work that is missing, brief, or clearly disengaged or sloppily produced such that miscues interfere with readability.

Your responses to other students’ work are also assessed. Students often resist commenting on each others’ work in substantial ways; instead choosing to post simply “good job” or “looks okay to me.” This kind of peer response doesn’t help your own—or your peers’—development as a writer and thinker.

Acceptable peer responses will, among other things:

• Explicitly identify what was learned from someone else’s work.
• Ask a follow-up question.
• Offer an alternative interpretation.
• Offer concrete strategies for improvement.

Questions (Film/Novel)

Choose one question to answer:

1. In the lecture in this unit, it can be noted that this novel/film utilizes familiar archetypes from other stories to help pull us towards supporting Grenouille’s quest. What archetypes did you see–and how did they operate? For example, Baldini could be seen as the wise, aged guide helping Grenouille on his heroic way. Where there other figures who played familiar roles or did they reverse their positions in new ways?
2. From Chapters 24-30 Grenouille removes himself from human society by living in a cave in the mountains. Why? What discoveries did he make about himself and humanity. Many people regard this novel as one of the strongest German novels of the early 21st century–do these observations about humanity help that reputation or hurt it?
3. The final moments of the novel showcase the fulfillment of Grenouille’s perfect “human effluvium.” How did the extreme reaction of the crowd at the execution affect your observations about the novel? Did we all secretly want the effluvium to succeed, or were we finally turned against Grenouille by his final murders?

Please view the instructions in the picture attached….PLEASE FOLLOW THEM CLOSELY.

HERE IS THE OUTLINE FOR THE PAPER:

Correctional officer and the person I chose to interview is my cousin Malala King; works at the Wilcox State Prison in Abbeville, GA

Title of Paper
Introduction
Begin introduction here. This section identifies the criminal justice field that the student has selected and includes a brief description of why this field is of interest (recommended length: no more than one page).

Name of First Competency (ex. Time Management)
Begin first competency information here. Tell what the competency is and provide the research about it. Remember that because you are including research, you must also include cites and references. You will later compare the competencies you identify in this section with those identified by the individual you are interviewing.
Name of Second Competency (ex. Communication)
Begin second competency information here. Tell what the competency is and provide the research about it. Remember that because you are including research, you must also include cites and references. You will later compare the competencies you identify in this section with those identified by the individual you are interviewing.
Name of Third Competency (Organization)

Some of the information you could cover were provided in the syllabus and include (1) why the individual decided to work in this field, (2) what are 3 key skills/competencies someone should possess to be successful in this field, (3) what steps should a person take to prepare for work in this field, (4) what types of substantive changes do you currently see occurring or foresee occurring within this field, and (5) what types of technology do you use on a regular basis within this field?
Evaluation
Begin evaluation here. In this section, you will evaluate the selected field of criminal justice by discussing the following questions and supporting the evaluation with cited resources- (1) How did the competencies you identified for this field of criminal justice align or differ from the information obtained during the interview with a criminal justice professional and (2) What learning goal would you like to set for yourself during this course, month, or year based on the skill sets and requirements discovered during your research and based upon the interview with a criminal justice professional? Feel free to go into detail about how you are going to achieve the goal. This section should be about 1-2 pages.

This week we’re focusing on states and the concepts of sovereignty, power and governance. There are vast differences between strong states like the US and weak states like Syria. This week, you have two options for your forum question. Answer just one of the questions below and be sure to address all the components for full credit.

Choice 1: After reviewing the following sites from the Council on Foreign Relations, explain why Syria is considered a weak or even failing state:

• https://www.cfr.org/interactives/syrias-civil-war-…
• https://www.cfr.org/interactive/womens-participati…
• https://www.cfr.org/middle-east-and-north-africa/s…

Define the terms you use, such as weak and failed state (use our Lessons or the reading by Wilkinson). Please be sure to support your thoughts with references to the course materials and please be sure to use Turabian style citations (author date).

Choice 2: As explained in the Week 4 lesson notes, IGOs are supranational organizations that are heavily connected to regional or international security and international law. A prime example is the UN. Today, the UN is involved in a number of peacekeeping missions around the world. For this option, please visit the UN peacekeeping homepage and choose one current or past mission to focus on. For that mission, address these specific questions for full credit:

• Why did the mission form?
• What states have been the main contributors to the mission? Why do you think they are contributing?
• Did the mission end? If so, why?
• Is the mission still going? If so, do you foresee any end date on the horizon?
• If there is one lesson to take from the UN mission, what is it?

Be sure to use more than one source and incorporate references to course material. Please be sure to paraphrase and credit the information rather than quoting it.
