COMM 200 Week 3 Discussion(Speech)
I need support with this Communications question so I can learn better.
Explain communication apprehension?
One of the most frustrating challenges and barriers to effective interpersonal communication at work is communication apprehension. However, there are ways to overcome this challenge. In this discussion forum, you will be required to record a 2.5- to 3-minute
You will then discuss some strategies from Bevan (2020) and Abrahams (2018) that you can use to overcome your fear(s).
Before completing your video presentation, you will create an outline of what you will say in the video. The outline will be a bullet-pointed overview, not a narrative. The video will be the narrative and include deeper explanations. You will copy and paste your outline in the discussion forum, along with the video.
- Describe a time you experienced a specific type of communication apprehension identified in your textbook (dyadic, group or meeting, or public speaking) in the workplace.
- Explain two specific strategies you can use to overcome your communication apprehension based on advice from Chapter 5 and the Speaking Up Without Freaking Out | Matt Abrahams | TEDxPaloAlto (Links to an external site.)
- Explain what you will gain from making these improvements.
- Post both your outline and a video, using the Canvas video posting system.
- Remember, you will be required to mention your textbook and the Speaking Up Without Freaking Out | Matt Abrahams | TEDxPaloAlto (Links to an external site.) video in your presentation. Be sure to use their names in your presentation.
This is a video Presentation, I need the written portion of it to present on camera.
History of Healthcare and Nursing
I need help with a Nursing question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.
Each question must have at least 3 paragraphs and you must use at 3 least references included in your post. APA style.
1.After reading Chapter 1,do you think Florence Nightingale is relevant in the 21 st century to the nursing profession?Why or why not?
2.What do you think would be the response of historical nursing leaders such as Florence Nightingale, Lillian Wald, and Mary Breckenridge if they could see what the profession of nursing looks like today?
Opinion on nutrition video
I need help with a Nutrition question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.
Answer the questions that follow.
- Do you question any of the information in the video? Do you feel the information is current and up to date? Why or why not?
- What new information did you learn?
- What information provided in the video is supported by your text?
- What are the primary factors that affect heart disease?
Value of Physical Evidence
Can you help me understand this Law question?
Now that you have learned about some of the types of physical evidence that can be discovered at a crime scene, consider the value of this evidence. Should a prosecutor be able to gain a conviction based solely on physical evidence found at the crime scene? If you were a juror on a murder case that had no eyewitness, no video evidence, and no confession, is it conceivable that you could vote to convict based only on the evidence presented by crime scene and crime lab employees?
- If you could not convict based only on physical evidence, explain why.
- If you could convict, specify which types of physical evidence could be enough to secure your vote to convict and why.
make management plan
Im trying to learn for my Writing class and Im stuck. Can you help?
You need to develop a management plan for the board that describes the companys transition strategy.
To do this, download and fill out the Management Plan document, which you can find in the What to Submit section.
Before starting part one, read the Employee Personas document, which you can find in the Supporting Materials section. Review the characteristics of each person on the team and consider the makeup of the team. Then, complete part one by thinking about how the characteristics of individuals and team will impact group dynamics, behavior, and performance.
As you complete part two, consider how you will lead your new team. To provide useful guidance in your plan, ground your recommendations in theory and examples. Think about how each theory supports your leadership, cohesive team dynamics, and group behavior performance.
For part three, choose an appropriate technology to facilitate teamwork. First, evaluate two technologies, considering how they support your leadership of the team. Then, provide examples of how your chosen technology could be used to lead the team. Finish part three by explaining how the theory you chose supports your choice of technology.
When you have completed all three parts of the Management Plan document, you can submit it as your deliverable.
advocate for social change by producing a text that operates within a digital ecology,
Help me study for my Economics class. Im stuck and dont understand.
BRIEF
Weight: 40%
Length: 1500 words total, or equivalent
Due: 2nd Feb 2020
Submission:
- Social Change Text: www.medium.com
- Project Statement: Turnitin via vUWS
AIMS/OBJECTIVES
- Demonstrate your understanding of how writing can contribute to social change and the various approaches and styles that can be used to do this using networked digital media
- Demonstrate your understanding of how the affordances of networked digital media environments invite innovative ways of agitating for change both locally and globally and how the concept of community can be used to generate interest
- Support your academic research, reading and writing skills
- Support your ability to relate concepts, themes and case studies to your own emerging professional interests and demonstrate an understanding of the relevance of writing ecologies as a concept to these interests
THE TASK
The unit Writing Ecologies has explored a range of digital media texts and their relationship to people and society. We have seen how new technologies are changing how we read and write, with implications for who we are and how our society works. Now you are going to put what you have learned to action to advocate for change in your community. For your Major Project, you need to write a text for social change accompanied by a short critical reflection on the approach you took and the digital ecologies your text engages.
Part 1: Social Change Text
Your task is to advocate for social change by producing a text that operates within a digital ecology, the web platform www.medium.com. Medium is easy to use, but also has some advanced design features for the adventurous. You can embed video and images, but remember writing needs to be the core of your work. Whatever approach you take, you need to think carefully about the presentation of your Social Change Text.
As far as choosing an issue to advocate for, pick something you want to see change in your local community. This could be anything from building a new skate park to restoring bushland, from cutting down traffic to revitalising local business. The issue you choose is up to you, but in communicating it you need to put into practice some of the ideas and strategies you have encountered in Writing Ecologies.
Your Social Change Text needs to be 1,000 words. Images, drawings or diagrams can count for 50 words each if they make a substantive contribution to the text, but you must have a minimum of 750 words regardless of the number of visual elements you choose to include.
Your Social Change Text could be many things:
- A web article, whether largely text or with substantial multimodal elements
- Short fiction written with a strong social message
- A proposal for a podcast that takes account of multimodal dimensions and elements
- A political speech suited to the digital world
- The treatment for a short film
- The concept for a game, including info on characters, narrative, interaction and objectives
Or maybe you have your own idea for a Social Change Text. If you do, your tutor must approve your idea.
The art of storytelling and effective communication are important in this project. Below are some resources that may help you think about how youll use story in your major project. These arent academic sources, but they do have some good ideas about why stories are powerful and how to write them.
- Persuasion and the Power of Story (Video)
- Storytelling for Change (Slides)
- Horticulture Forms of Story (Infographic)
To succeed in this task you need to:
- Demonstrate you have understood the assignment brief and followed all instructions provided
- Write in a persuasive and creative manner
- Ensure your work is driven by narrative
- Ensure your work is attentive to the digital environment in which it is situated this is critical
Part 2: Project Statement
You need to write a 500 word Project Statement about how your project fits within a digital writing ecology.
This must contain FIVE ACADEMIC REFERENCES from the unit readings plus your own research. Your statement will need to contextualise your Social Change Text project within a definition of digital writing ecologies.
In crafting your essay you should also aim to show how your understanding of what a writing ecology is has developed across the semester. This will be submitted to Turnitin via vUWS.
Differentiating Costs
Im trying to study for my Writing course and I need some help to understand this question.

Differentiating Costs [WLOs: 1, 3] [CLOs: 3, 5] |
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read Chapters 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in your course textbook and the Hospitals Become Cost Centers in Managed Care Scenario article. Just like any industry, healthcare has its own language. Healthcare managers must be able to classify various costs associated with day-to-day operations. For this discussion, you will incorporate the course textbook readings to discuss the assigned costs listed below.
In your initial response, explain the cost assigned to you and give an example of that type of cost as it relates to a healthcare facility (i.e., physician practice, hospital, long-term care facility, urgent care, specialty group practice, or surgery center). Include in your response why it is important for the healthcare manager to know the differences between all the costs listed when determining financial status. Your initial post should be 250 to 300 words.

This activity consists of six questions that will create the opportunity to check your understanding of the fundamentals of evidence-based practice as well as ways to identify EBP in practice. The information gained from completing this formative will help promote success in the Stakeholder Presentation and demonstrate courseroom engagementit requires just a few minutes of your time and is not graded.
Demonstration of Proficiency
- Competency 1: Explain strategies for managing human and financial resources to promote organizational health.
- Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
- Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes.
- Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.
- Competency 3: Describe ways to incorporate evidence-based practice within an interdisciplinary team.
- Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.
- Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
- Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes.

Professional Context
This assessment will provide you with an opportunity to sharpen your ability to create a professional presentation to stakeholders. In this presentation, you will explain the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle and how it can be used to introduce the plan (P), implement the plan (D), study the effectiveness of the plan (S), and act on what is learned (A) to drive continuous improvement. By using this cycle, the stakeholders will have a tool and a proposal to expand on these ideas to drive workplace change and create improved processes to solve an interprofessional collaboration problem.
Scenario
In addition to summarizing the key points of Assessments 2 and 3, you will provide stakeholders and/or leadership with an overview of project specifics as well as how success would be evaluatedyou will essentially be presenting a discussion of the Plan, Do, and Study parts of the PDSA cycle. Again, you will not be expected to execute the project, so you will not have any results to study. However, by carefully examining the ways in which your plan could be carried out and evaluated, you will get some of the experience of the thinking required for PDSA. When creating your PowerPoint for this assessment, it is important to keep in mind the target audience: your interviewee’s organizational leadership. The overall goal of this assessment is to create a presentation that your interviewee could potentially give in his or her organization.
Instructions
Please follow the Capella Guidelines for Effective PowerPoint Presentations [PPTX]. If you need technical information on using PowerPoint, refer to Capella University Library: PowerPoint Presentations.Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide.

- Explain an organizational or patient issue for which a collaborative interdisciplinary team approach would help achieve a specific improvement goal.
- Summarize an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to address an organizational or patient issue.
- Explain how the interdisciplinary plan could be implemented and how the human and financial resources would be managed.
- Propose evidence-based criteria that could be used to evaluate the degree to which the project was successful in achieving the improvement goal.
- Communicate the PowerPoint presentation of the interdisciplinary improvement plan to stakeholders in a professional manner, with writing that is clear, logically organized, and respectful with correct grammar and spelling using current APA style.
There are various ways to structure your presentation; following is one example:
- Part 1: Organizational or Patient Issue.
- What is the issue that you are trying to solve or improve?
- Why should the audience care about solving it?
- Part 2: Relevance of an Interdisciplinary Team Approach.
- Why is using an interdisciplinary team relevant, or the best approach, to addressing the issue?
- How will it help to achieve improved outcomes or reach a goal?

- How could the plan be managed to ensure that resources were not wasted?
- How does the plan justify the resource expenditure?
- Part 5: Evaluation.
- What would a successful outcome of the project look like?
- What are the criteria that could be used to measure that success?
- How could this be used to show the degree of success?
Again, keep in mind that your audience for this presentation is a specific group (or groups) at your interviewee’s organization and tailor your language and messaging accordingly. Remember, also, that another person will ultimately be giving the presentation. Include thorough speakers notes that flesh out the bullet points on each slide.
