I’m studying and need help with a Economics question to help me learn.

The board of directors at AutoEdge is actively discussing several options to address flagging revenue. One option continues to surface during each board meeting; that is, relocating the manufacturing operation back to the United States. Longtime Chief Financial Officer, Ingrid Adams, leads the group that is in favor of this option.

Ingrid Adams approaches you in the company break room.

“Hello,” she says. “I’m glad I saw you.”

“Hi,” you say. “What can I do for you?”

“I have a question about economics,” she says. “I think you can help me explain something to some shareholders on the board.”

“Economics! My favorite subject,” you say. “What’s your question?”

“If AutoEdge decided to increase its prices and return to the United States,” she says, “how would this action affect consumer demand? I want to know your opinion about elasticity.”

“Sure,” you say. “So you want to know if the elasticity for auto parts is considered to be relatively inelastic, relatively elastic, unitary elastic, perfectly elastic, or perfectly inelastic. Right?”

“Exactly,” she says.

“I have an opinion,” you say. “Do you want to talk about it now, or do you want something in writing?”

“Something in writing would be best,” she says. “Would you explain your opinion so that I can respond to questions from other members of the board, too?”

“I’d be glad to,” you say. “I’ll put something together this afternoon and get it to you before I leave today. Is that soon enough?”

“Perfect,” she says. “Thanks for your help.”

I’m studying and need help with a Writing question to help me learn.

Response one: One of the main issues in adopting evidence-based nursing practice in my organization is the cost factor. I am currently employed for a smaller, for profit organization, so finances are always a big concern. When looking to implement evidence-based practice, an organization must consider the cost of research training, equipment, and the number of hours that will be spent educating staff on the evidence-based intervention. They must figure in the cost of rolling out the evidence-based intervention. This can become costly for organizations which are struggling to remain profitable.

Once the issue of concern is identified, the issue can then be brought to the attention of those who are responsible for the decision-making process to implement change. As for the financial aspect, when looking to gain support for an evidence-based proposal, organizations should be encouraged to use the Institute for Healthcare Improvement framework to calculate the return of investment for a particular proposed evidence-based intervention (Tucker, 2014). The use of this framework takes into consideration the financial reimbursements related to quality control measures. For example, in 2011, the cost of initiating an evidence-based fall prevention bundle was estimated at approximately $15,694. In 2012, an inpatient fall cost a facility an estimated $34,294 per incident (John Hopkins Medicine, 2015). When looking at return of investment data, it would be easy for an organization to see how financially feasible it would be to implement an evidence-based protocol for fall prevention. In the long run, the organization will be more profitable by implementing the proposal.

With all the data surrounding evidence-based nursing practice, most organizations will not have a choice but to adopt it. It should be considered the gold standard to improve patient safety and outcomes. When we improve patient safety and outcomes, healthcare costs will be reduced. This benefits the patient and the organization. While many organizations may remain hesitant to adopt it, in the end, if they don’t, it will only harm their organization.

Response two: One of the main issues in my organization that prevents the full utilization of evidenced-based practice in nursing would be lack of mentors and short staffing. There seems to be barely enough nurses to cover patient care, let alone having nurses at the bachelor’s level or higher to educate nurses on evidenced-based practice nursing is rare. I feel the hospital must improve upon outside factors before this practice can be used at the utmost potential.

Nursing is a core service in all healthcare. Safe nurse staffing means that an appropriate number of nurses is available at all times across the continuum of care, with a suitable mix of education, skills and experience to ensure that patient care needs are met and that the working environment and conditions support staff to deliver quality care. Safe nurse staffing is a critical issue for patient safety and the quality of care in hospitals, community and all settings in which care is provided. Inadequate or insufficient nurse staffing levels increase the risk of care being compromised, adverse events for patients, inferior clinical outcomes, in-patient death inhospitals and poorer patient experience of care. Having insufficient or inappropriate nursing staff to meet patient needs also results in unsustainable workloads and has a negative impact on the health and wellbeing of staff. Research suggests that investing in safe, effective and needs-based nurse staffing levels can be cost effective, promoting improvement of and preventing deterioration in patients’ health thereby reducing the duration and intensity of healthcare interventions. Ongoing evidence continues to highlight the importance of safe nurse staffing in relation to patient safety in all healthcare sectors (Marteau, 2009).

Response three: Nursing implementation of evidence-based practice (EBP) is a crucial factor in delivering high-quality patient care. Institutional leadership, such as nurse managers, plays an integral role in implementing EBP in nursing units. EBP allows nurses to make complex health care decisions based on research reports, clinical expertise and patient perspectives.

I believe that our organization is currently going through ineffective leadership and management issue, which are directly affecting the implementation process of evidence-based practice (EBP) in nursing. We are having high turnover of management, where it takes time to adjust for the new ones. In the research study of Sandstorm, Borglin, Nilsson & William, (2011) leadership role is vital for the process of implementing EBP, also the importance of the culture in the organization where the leaders operate. It would be challenging for the leader to make EBP a norm in an organization. Our organization has high staff turnover issues due to many reasons, where ineffective leadership is also the one, which is holding the organization behind maintaining its culture, especially regarding the maintenance of EBP in practice. Leaders should be able to bring some strategic plans including planning, organizing and implementing to yield staff turnover issues and also maintaining the culture of practicing EBP.

There are many ways how the leader could address the issue, in which the first step towards resolving is to inspire and induce, devote time and share knowledge (Stetler, Ritchie, Raycroft & Charns, 2014). Inspiration and inducing consists of activating, motivating, acknowledging encouraging and engaging regarding the implementation of EBP. Other steps on resolving this issue are educating and to be a role model to other staff, by guiding, mentoring and coaching. Role modeling behavior demonstrates the expected norm and enabled others to learn norms and values by watching, repeatedly hearing and discussing EBP with leaders (Stetler et al, 2014). For example- when I was a new grad, I once got encountered the director of nursing on our floor in the facility where I worked, while she was making her round. The floor was busy, so she helped with one of my patient’s PICC line dressing change. I saw her maintaining an aseptic and sterile technique as needed. She even explained the rationale behind doing every step in the procedure. Myself being the new grad staff, that activity of DON was very encouraging, impressive, motivating to do things right, maintaining and implementing EBP all the time. To learn persistence, perseverance, and willingness, we should have strong leadership and management.

I’m working on a Law question and need guidance to help me study.

In this assignment, you will identify issues confronting modern law enforcement, corrections, and the court system; reflect on policies that currently impact those components of the criminal justice system; and point out problems that exist in today’s criminal justice system.

Consider situations in the criminal justice system that have developed in the past 10 years. These situations will have surfaced in public media pertaining to issues, problems, and policies of law enforcement, corrections, and the court system.

Tip: Finding these concerns is easily accomplished using media search engines of major news publication archives. The hardest issue will be to decide which ones to read. You can search for death penalty, juvenile boot camps, or plea bargaining, for example.

Think of a topic and then evaluate whether or not it is a public concern. If you begin to research a topic and can only find 4 or less articles on it, then do not select it for a research concern. You will need to select a topic for this assignment where sufficient information exists to research. There are a number of large newspapers and online news archives. Also, the major news agencies will have online archives for issues they have reported on. These are just a few suggestions. The limitations on this project are determined by your own creativity.

Assignment Guidelines

• Address the following in 2–3 pages:
  • Identify at least 2 issues, problems, or policies in criminal justice for each of the following 3 components:
    • Law Enforcement
    • Corrections
    • Court System
  • This should result in the identification of a minimum total of 6 issues, problems, or policies.
    • Relate whether the areas identified are an issue, problem, or policy, and explain why.
    • Keep in mind they can be a combination.
    • The amount of attention paid by the media to the topics you selected may be an indicator of the level of concern the public holds regarding these topics.
      • However, it could also be an indicator of the agenda of that particular media outlet. Be careful, because the media outlet can be the driving force behind the issue, trying to make it a public concern.
  • Select 2 (out of the 6 or more you identified from the media search) of the issues, policies, or problems you found in terms of current public interest.
    • Select 2 topics that actually interest you, just to make the assignment more fun. There is nothing wrong with enjoying your research. You will find your end product is enhanced when you like what you are doing.
  • Create an annotated bibliography for the 2 research topics.
    • Find 8–10 peer-reviewed scholarly references (total) that pertain to your 2 topics.
    • Following each one of the individual references, prepare 2–3 sentences that describe what each reference is expected to contribute to your research.
    • It is not expected that you will read every word, but the abstracts should give you an idea of the content, and skimming through the document might also be helpful.
      • You may find other references later that better support and define your logic, but this is a start.
• Be sure to reference all sources using APA style.
