**COVID-19 Testing Mandate: POST MUST BE A MIN OF 250-300 WORDS AND USE TWO SOURCES (will be page one)
Instructions
Consider the following scenario:
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, state Governors took significant steps to protect residents, including the most vulnerable populations, nursing home residents. In Oklahoma, Governor Kevin Stitt issued a policy that required any “staffer” entering a nursing home to produce a negative COVID-19 test result.
Place yourself in the role of a nursing home administrator in this situation, and respond to the following:
What are the gaps in this policy? (Policy is italicized above).
Does scientific evidence support this approach? Why or why not?
Because this is mandated by the state, your facility must comply. Briefly explain how you will ensure compliance while maintaining the integrity of evidence-based practice.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format
**Advancing Community Health: POST MUST BE A MIN OF 250-300 WORDS AND USE TWO SOURCES (will be page two)
Instructions
Policies are put into place with the objective of improving quality of life and civic engagement. But is that always the outcome?
Reflect on the community in which you live.
Identify three issues impacting the health of your community (ex: diabetes, depression, teen pregnancy).
For each issue, briefly summarize the level of government involvement.
Could these issues be improved with more, or less, government involvement?
Propose solutions to address the three issues.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Be sure to cite sources! (in text as well)

Assignment 3: Developing and Simulating a Learner-Centered Teaching Plan (35%)
Suggested Due Date – Week 14
Health teaching is not an optional practice component for any health care professional. This assignment, Developing and Simulating a Learner-Centered Teaching Plan, will allow you to gain knowledge that is foundational to the teaching learning process and provide you with the opportunity to achieve the course learning outcome: apply the teaching learning process to a health-related situation in a systematic manner that reflects the principles of teaching and learning presented in this course. Supporting information to assist you in assignment 3 is addressed in Units 6-8.
Assignments must be submitted via the appropriate dropbox on the course home page.
NOTE – Assignment 2 and 3 are progressive assignments; you will not be able to submit assignment 3 until you have completed assignment 2 and received your mark. Refer back to the case study you utilized to complete assignment 2, as this same case study should be used to complete assignment 3. Also be certain to consider your tutor’s feedback on assignment 2 when completing assignment 3. Please contact your tutor if you require further clarification of expectations for this assignment
Assignment 3 consists of two parts: Use the same learning objective for Part A and Part B 
Part A: Complete the following table (possible 10 marks) 
Learning Objective 
Teaching Strategies
Rationale For Selection of Teaching Strategy
Domain: state cognitive, psychomotor or affective. 
List strategies you have chosen to utilize
Provide rationale to support your choice of each strategy. If you used Internet resources as teaching materials, please include the links so that your tutor can access and review these. If you used other materials, such as audiovisual aids, posters, print-based pamphlets, or handouts, please send as an appendix.
Part B: Complete a simulation of your implementation of your teaching plan. Note this is a simulation and is not to be implemented with a human subject.  Think of this simulation as your rehearsal prior to actually implementing with a client. You need to submit a video of your simulation. Your video simulation should be 3 minutes in length. You do not need to submit a copy of your narrative but you do need to plan carefully what you will include in your simulation. You can record your video using Adobe Connect, You Tube, Vimeo, or a platform of your choice.

Change in an Organization
This chapter involves change and the response to change in an organization. If you feel uncomfortable already you probably are in the majority. Let’s read the scenario below and try to understand why change is so difficult. 
Scenario: Imagine the days before COVID when we were all in a classroom. Do you remember back then? Well, think about where you decided to sit in a classroom. Did you find that you usually chose the same seat in most of the classrooms that you were in? If not, then what usually made you choose the seat that you decided to sit in? Now if you were to sit in a seat in the first class, how likely were you to sit in the same seat after that? Have I made a point? So change is hard, and we all have gone through some kind of change, small or large, in our lives at school, at our workplace, and at home.
Instructions: ***ANSWER QUESTIONS RELATED TO ICU SETTING *** <--IMPORTANT!! Read the information above and then answer the following questions: Describe what the circumstances were at your workplace when you had to change something How did you adjust to the change? Were there colleagues that could not adjust to the change? Why do you think, in terms of change theory, that there were colleagues that could not adjust? Your paper should be: One (1) page Typed according to APA Writing StyleLinks to an external site. for margins, formatting and spacing standards.

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 evaluated—you 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
Be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.
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?
Part 3: Interdisciplinary Plan Summary.
What is the objective?
How likely is it to work?
What will the interdisciplinary team do?
Part 4: Implementation and Resource Management.
How could the plan be implemented to ensure effective use of resources?
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 speaker’s notes that flesh out the bullet points on each slide.
Additional Requirements
Number of slides: Plan on using one or two slides for each part of your presentation as needed, so the content of your presentation will be 8–12 slides in length. Remember that slides should contain concise talking points, and you will use presenter’s notes to go into detail. Be sure to include a reference slide as the last slide of your presentation.
Number of references: Cite a minimum of 3 sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your central ideas. Resources should be no more than five years old.
APA formatting: Make sure that in-text citations on your slides and in your notes pages and reference slide reflect current APA Style and Format.
Portfolio Prompt: Remember to save the final assessment to your ePortfolio so that you may refer to it as you complete the final Capstone course.
