Week 9 DQ

The Institute of Medicine has set a goal to have 90% of practice decisions to be based on Evidence by 2020 with the goal to improve care.

The intent of the dissemination of EBP results is that the information and intervention is aimed at a specific clinical practice audience. The main objective of dissemination is to increase and advance knowledge regarding evidence-based interventions for greater application and patient outcomes.

In determining the best mode of EBP dissemination you must answer these questions:

Who will benefit from receipt of this evidence?

Where will this evidence have the greatest impact?

What resources are needed?

Who is the most appropriate audience?

What are the benefits of this evidence to your selected audience?

What are the potential risks of failing to disseminate this evidence?

What are the barriers to dissemination of evidence?

Choose one of the following modes of dissemination and discuss why it was chosen. Assure you have attended to questions 1-7 above.

There are 3 different approaches to the development of a Covid -19 vaccine but each approach targets the spike protein on the virus. Biotech/Pfizer is the first to develop a vaccine with a 90% effective rate. What do you believe are some of the risks and benefits associated with vaccines?

Covid 19

In the past, you have studied enzymes and proteins which are essential to maintaining homeostasis in all living organisms. In this discussion, we will be examining the development of three different vaccines for Covid-19, all of which block spike proteins , also known as antigens, on the surface of the virus. These vaccines also stimulate our body’s immune system to develop a protein called an antibody, to provide long-lasting protection from the virus. The immune system is one of the many different body systems that will have been exploring. It is important that we examine the difference between vaccine-induced herd immunity and natural herd immunity. Finally, we will question and challenge Sweden’s controversial attempt to establish Covid -19 natural herd immunity.

product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.

Watch this video about herd immunity and how it works to attempt to minimize the spread of infectious disease.

Watch this video about Sweden’s attempt to create natural herd immunity without vaccination.

Watch this video about the three different approaches to the development of a Covid- 19 vaccine.

What are your thoughts about Sweden’s approach to using natural herd immunity prior to the use of an approved vaccine? Why did the WHO (World Health Organization) disapprove of Sweden’s approach? How can such a high death rate be ethically justified?
There are 3 different approaches to the development of a Covid -19 vaccine but each approach targets the spike protein on the virus. Biotech/Pfizer is the first to develop a vaccine with a 90% effective rate. What do you believe are some of the risks and benefits associated with vaccines? Also, discuss some of the logistic difficulties of immunization.
Once the Pfizer vaccine receives emergency approval from the CDC (Note: approved summer 2021), there will be a huge disparity between supply and demand. Which groups of individuals should receive priority vaccine administration and why?
Now that the vaccine is available, will you get the vaccine or not? Explain the justification behind your decision. This discussion is not about the mandate or politics. Keep to the biology and scientific facts presented as a basis for your discussion.
After reading over the “Cliff Notes” from the VRBPAC committee, what are the three facts that were presented/discussed that surprised or stood out to you that you didn’t know? Share your detailed thoughts along with any questions you would ask the committee if you were present. Would any of this information sway your decision one way another in seeking a vaccine for your child? Again, this discussion is not about the mandate or politics. Keep to the biology and scientific facts presented as a basis for your discussion.

Concepts from the book: Buchanan D and Huczynski A (2019) Organizational Behaviour. 10th ed. Harlow, Pearson
The aim is to apply the concepts presented to identify, analyse and propose recommendations for action, for a management problem in a health care organisation. Objectives The objectives are, to:
• Identify an organisational problem
• Analyse the problem situation using concepts and theories of organisational behaviour; and
• Develop credible and feasible recommendations for change.
Task instructions
WRITE UP A CASE STUDY OF AN ORGANISATIONAL PROBLEM IN HEALTH SERVICES or remotely health-related organisation based on your experience.
Your case study should address the following four areas:
1 The problem situation: A concrete description of the problem in the particular organisational setting.
2 The diagnosis: What the organisational management literature contributes to an understanding of the core problem, drawing on the relevant concepts and theories presented in the module.
3 The wider organisational context: An analysis, which describes how other features of the organisation and its environment relate to the problem situation.
4 Recommendations for management intervention: A clear statement of feasible recommendations, including an analysis of why these policies may work and others not

Why is Ophelia so upset when she enters at II.i? What has happened to her? Does Hamlet’s appearance (in her telling) as a madman (a distracted lover) come as a surprise after what we last heard him say? Why would he appear in this sort of madness to her?

1. What is Polonius telling Reynaldo to do in II.i? What does this tell us about Polonius and his way of thinking and acting?
2. Why is Ophelia so upset when she enters at II.i? What has happened to her? Does Hamlet’s appearance (in her telling) as a madman (a distracted lover) come as a surprise after what we last heard him say? Why would he appear in this sort of madness to her? Is there any possibility he really is a distracted lover responding to Ophelia’s apparent rejection of him? How well has she obeyed her father’s orders in I.iii?
2. Read Hamlet’s third soliloquy carefully (II.ii). How does he use the player’s response to show how different his own position is? Is the comparison justified by what we have seen happen in the play? He complains that he hasn’t acted on his vengeance. Why hasn’t he? Why does he need the play? What will he learn from it?
