Hello everyone!

Based on the website of the National Head Start Association (NHSA) , I have learned that Head Start is the most important and educational investment in children, families , and communities that the U.S has ever undertaken as it has has helped more than 35 million low -income and other vulnerable children and their families across the U.S ( National Head Start Association, n.d.). The idea, like the NHSA mentions , is revolutionary as it provides comprehensive health, nutrition, and education services to children in poverty. Moreover, Head Start is continuously improving the services it provides to children and families and respond to the changing needs of local communities and has had a strong impact on communities and early childhood program across the U.S.

For more than 5 decades, Head Start according to research and evaluation has had a positive impact on school readiness, academic achievement, heath, family stability and long-term success. As a matter of fact, for more than 5 decades, Head Start has provided early learning opportunities for the country ‘s most vulnerable children and comprehensive supports to families which address long-term economic stability and better health prospects, ultimately mitigating the devastating impacts that poverty can have on the future success of young children ( National Head Start Association, n.d.).There is also the fact that positive cognitive and non-cognitive outcomes have been seen in children that participate in the Head Start program, an impact on their vocabulary, an involvement of their parents in their education showing the effectiveness of this program for young children and their families.

Hello Professor and Class,

Head start is an amazing program that was created in 1965 to give children that are currently in poverty a fair chance beginning their education journey. This program provides comprehensive health, nutrition, and education services to children. During the years our previous president served our country he created a budget that included a commitment to expand and strengthen childcare and early education programs, specifically increasing the duration of Head Start to a full school day and year (NHSA.org). The head start programs are created with four modules that includes; health, parental involvement, education and social services. This program allows children who care givers are going through a tough time a fair chance starting their education journey. I love that this program is beneficial to the entire family and not just the child. From the educator prospective, they also provide great training for their educators to ensure they are qualified to be successful. I think this is a great program and needed to help everyone have a chance at a bright future.

Working with teams is an excellent way to help clients receive quality services. Below are three short vignettes of teams that support service delivery. For each vignette, address the following two components:

1. Describe what you believe is the primary role of the team.
2. Explain how the client benefits from the team approach.

For each vignette, compose responses of two-three paragraphs. Your final submission must address both questions for all three vignettes and should be between two-three pages. Additionally, ensure you are citing from three scholarly sources throughout your paper. Ensure each source is cited properly in APA.

Vignette #1: Five professionals are gathered together to consider cases of four adolescents arrested for first-time possession of cocaine. The judge from juvenile court refers offenders to the case management team for assessment and services instead of incarceration. The professionals include a family specialist from the department of human services, a probation officer, a psychologist, a mental health counselor serving as the case manager, and a school liaison.

Vignette #2: Lakewood Hills, Inc. provides support services for Alzheimer’s patients and their families. Each patient and family is assigned a case manager who spearheads the service delivery. Each week the case manager chairs a discussion with other professionals who provide an array of services such as physical care, home health services, respite care, and educational services that foster positive psychological development for patients and caregivers.

Vignette #3: Family members participate in a group cooperative that they have formed themselves. Each family has at least one member with a persistent mental illness. As a result of the families’ cooperative, they are able to advocate for their family members. To date, they provide a group day care, organize outings to the mall and movies, dispense medications daily, and coordinate time for caretakers to take days off from care giving. The cooperative hired one case manager, who works two hours a day to advise and support these efforts of the families.

Help me study for my Nursing class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.

Complications of asthma can be sudden. Consider the case of Bradley Wilson, a young boy who had several medical conditions. He appeared in good health when he went to school, returned home, and ate dinner. However, when he later went outside to play, he came back inside wheezing. An ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead (Briscoe, 2012). In another case, 10-year-old Dynasty Reese, who had mild asthma, woke up in the middle of the night and ran to her grandfather’s bedroom to tell him she couldn’t breathe. By the time paramedics arrived, she had passed out and was pronounced dead at the hospital (Glissman, 2012). These situations continue to outline the importance of recognizing symptoms of asthma and providing immediate treatment, as well as distinguishing minor symptoms from serious, life-threatening symptoms. Since these symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, as an advanced practice nurse, you must be able to help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate treatment options. For this reason, you need to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation.

To Prepare

• Review “Asthma” in Chapter 27 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Consider how these disorders are similar and different.
• Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation.

To Complete

Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following:

• Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation.
• Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for a patient based on the factor you selected.
• Construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper.

1. Written Assignment

Sometime in the course of your education or your career you will probably be asked to lead or participate in a presentation. You’ll find it valuable to know the options available for presenting information to a group in a clear and engaging manner.

Read the lesson material as well as the articles by Cox and Ellis and and also by Spencer referenced in your study materials( https://www.thebalancecareers.com/sample-online-profiles-4061813, https://www.techradar.com/news/software/applications/the-best-presentation-software-for-businesses-1256592). (You may also do further research, if desired.) Then compose a brief document of between 500 and 850 words (approximately 2 to 3 pages long). Your document should do all of the following:

• Compare at least two of the tools, examining advantages and disadvantages of each type.
• Speculate about why a particular situation or setting might call for one type of software over another.
• Think about classroom, social, or workplace experience you have had as an audience member for a presentation. Critique one aspect (either positive or negative) of the presenter’s use of presentation software.

2: Informative Speech Outline

The primary objective of this assignment is to inform your audience about a topic of interest to you. Be sure to provide the following information when drafting your outline:

• General background information necessary for your audience to understand your topic
• Explanation of why this is an issue of public interest

Seek to improve your organizational and delivery skills; you should be objective and neutral. This is not a persuasive speech, so do not share your opinion. You are to share information clearly with your audience so that they receive the information, understand it, and retain it.

Instructions

1. Select a topic. Choose a topic that you have an interest in learning more about or a topic that you know quite a bit about already and you will be comfortable speaking about. The topic could be a sport, a hobby, a job, a disease, or any issue of public importance. The possibilities are endless.
2. Find supporting materials. Use your knowledge of the topic first. Then, find outside sources such as books, articles, websites, and interviews of experts on your topic. You must include a minimum of five outside sources for your speech; at least one must not be from the Internet. You will need to cite your sources orally during your speech.
3. Perform an audience analysis. Speaking effectively is greatly dependent on how well you analyze your audience and adapt your speech to them. Reflect on the demographic of the class and think about their interest and knowledge of your topic. The more audience-centered your speech is, the stronger your effects on your listeners, which will, of course, be reflected in your grade.
4. Write an outline of your informative speech using the template below as a guide. Create a document that includes details for main and sub points. Using the template below, you should also include the following:
   1. 1. Any key research or quotes (supporting material)
      2. At least five reputable sources for this speech (not blogs or unreliable websites)
      3. Connectives

Submit a document that reflects the information requested in the template. Be sure to include three main points with subpoint details. If you have questions about sources, be sure to ask your mentor. Use full sentences and include specific wording that you want to use in the speech.

3: Persuasive Speech Evaluation

After watching a persuasive speech from the Most Popular TED Talks of All Time, write a 300- to 500-word analysis (1½ to 2 pages). Be sure to reference (in a bibliography using APA format) the speech you watched and answer the following questions pertaining to the speech. [MO4.2, MO4.3]

• How does the speaker open the speech? What works well in his or her introduction?
• How is the speech organized? Does it flow smoothly?
• What are the main points and are they clear?
• What facts, quotes, stats, or stories does the speaker include?
• How does the speaker use emotion?
• How does the speech utilize vivid language? Provide an example.
• How does the speech end?
• Is the speech effective? Did it persuade you?

I’m working on a Business exercise and need support.

• Develop a 7-page process improvement plan for a provided scenario or a business and process of your choice, using data to support your recommendations.
  

  INTRODUCTION

  This portfolio work project, a process improvement plan, will help you demonstrate competencies in process documentation, process analysis, and process improvement.

• SCENARIO

  Wild Dog Coffee Company, a locally owned company with a single coffee shop location, serves a wide selection of espresso products, small breakfast and lunch menu items, and a limited evening menu. The company is planning to expand the business by adding an additional location. While different menu items may be tested at the new location, the espresso beverage preparation process will remain exactly the same. The company wants to ensure that the espresso beverage preparation process is documented and refined before the move.
  

YOUR ROLE

• You are one of three owners of Wild Dog Coffee Company. Your background is primarily in operations. Your business partners’ backgrounds are in marketing and sales. While they are working on the external aspects of the business that will bring customers in, you are focused on making the internal customer-facing processes as efficient as possible. You are preparing an analysis and recommendations that will help manage a core process improvement for the successful opening of a second location.

• REQUIREMENTS

  Include the following in your process improvement plan:

  • Assess the steps for a selected process.
    • Develop a flowchart showing the process’ steps. You may include as many steps as are relevant for your selected scenario.
    • If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, show the steps for preparing an espresso beverage (for example, latté, cappuccino); there are two steps that must be included: (1) order is submitted and (2) beverage is handed to the customer. Hint: You may want to visit a local coffee shop to observe the beverage preparation process.
  • Prepare a procedure documenting the selected process. At a minimum, the procedure must document the following for your selected process:
    • Metrics. Identify at least two metrics that will be useful in determining how well the new process is performing. Be sure to identify the target value of the metric and how you will measure it.
      • For Wild Dog Coffee Company, it could be how well the beverage preparation process is performing. A third metric is already identified for you: order delivery time. (This is the time between when the order is submitted and the time the beverage is handed to the customer.)
    • Procedure. This section describes each step of the process.
      • For Wild Dog Coffee Company, your procedure should be titled, “Espresso Beverage Preparation Process.” Be sure to include order submittal and handing the beverage to the customer as part of the procedure.
    • Purpose (of the procedure). This section describes what the procedure is intended to do.
  • Analyze data for process changes for a selected process. Respond to the following questions:
    • Is the process centered? Provide the results of your calculations and the rationale for your decision by thinking about the process capability.
    • Is the process capable at 3-sigma? Provide the results of your calculations and the rationale for your decision by thinking about the process capability index.
    • Is the process in statistical control? Provide the appropriate numbers and the rationale for your decision using a control chart for individuals.
    • For Wild Dog Coffee Company, analyze the Beverage Service Times [XLSX] data. This data is for 50 beverage preparation events and was collected using their order processing system. Each individual order gets a time-stamp when it is placed and again when the beverage is handed to the customer. The senior barista thinks the beverage delivery times should range between 2 and 3 minutes. The known process standard deviation, which has been calculated on an on-going basis, is 0.5903 minutes.
  • Analyze the cause and effect of process variances.
    • Brainstorm possible sources of variation to create a cause-and-effect diagram to help analyze potential sources of variation in the espresso beverage preparation process at Wild Dog Coffee Company or for your selected business’ process. Your diagram must include at least four of the “6 Ms” (that is, management, manpower, method, measurement, machine, materials).
  • Recommend quality and customer service improvements for a selected process.
    • Detail the results of your analysis for Wild Dog Coffee Company or your selected business’ process to substantiate your recommendations.

  DELIVERABLE FORMAT

  Requirements:

  • The process improvement plan is to be a minimum of 7 pages, not including the title, reference, and appendix pages.
  • Use a process improvement plan template of your choice.

  Related company standards:

  • The process improvement plan is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and Professional Document Guidelines (available in the MBA Program Resources), including single-spaced paragraphs.
  • In addition to the title and reference pages, include the following in the appendix:
    • Flowchart.
    • Procedure.
    • Detailed results of order delivery time analysis.
    • Cause-and-effect diagram.
  • Use American Society for Quality (ASQ) data analysis tools and 2–3 additional scholarly or academic sources where applicable.
  • Use APA formatting for citations and references.
