Introduction
The health care industry is always striving to improve patient outcomes and attain organizational goals. Nurses can play a critical role in achieving these goals; one way to encourage nurse participation in larger organizational efforts is to create a shared vision and team goals (Mulvale et al., 2016). Participation in interdisciplinary teams can also offer nurses opportunities to share their expertise and leadership skills, fostering a sense of ownership and collegiality.
You are encouraged to complete the Budgeting for Nurses activity before you develop the plan proposal. The activity consists of seven questions that will allow you the opportunity to check your knowledge of budgeting basics and as well as the value of financial resource management. The information gained from completing this formative will promote success with the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal. Completing this activity also demonstrates your engagement in the course, 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 organizational resources, including a financial budget, needed for the plan to be a success and the impacts on those resources if nothing is done, related to the improvements sought by the plan.
Competency 2: Explain how interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to achieve desired patient and systems outcomes.
Describe an objective and predictions for an evidence-based interdisciplinary plan to achieve a specific objective related to improving patient or organizational outcomes.
Explain the collaboration needed by an interdisciplinary team to improve the likelihood of achieving the plan’s objective. Include best practices of interdisciplinary collaboration from the literature.
Competency 4: Explain how change management theories and leadership strategies can enable interdisciplinary teams to achieve specific organizational goals.
Explain a change theory and a leadership strategy, supported by relevant evidence, that are most likely to help an interdisciplinary team succeed in collaborating and implementing, or creating buy-in for, the project plan.
Competency 5: Apply professional, scholarly, evidence-based communication strategies to impact patient, interdisciplinary team, and systems outcomes.
Organize content so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions; contains few errors in grammar/punctuation, word choice, and spelling.

Professional Context
This assessment will allow you to describe a plan proposal that includes an analysis of best practices of interprofessional collaboration, change theory, leadership strategies, and organizational resources with a financial budget that can be used to solve the problem identified through the interview you conducted in the prior assessment.
Scenario
Having reviewed the information gleaned from your professional interview and identified the issue, you will determine and present an objective for an interdisciplinary intervention to address the issue.
Note: You will not be expected to implement the plan during this course. However, the plan should be evidence-based and realistic within the context of the issue and your interviewee’s organization.
Instructions
For this assessment, use the context of the organization where you conducted your interview to develop a viable plan for an interdisciplinary team to address the issue you identified. Define a specific patient or organizational outcome or objective based on the information gathered in your interview.
The goal of this assessment is to clearly lay out the improvement objective for your planned interdisciplinary intervention of the issue you identified. Additionally, be sure to further build on the leadership, change, and collaboration research you completed in the previous assessment. Look for specific, real-world ways in which those strategies and best practices could be applied to encourage buy-in for the plan or facilitate the implementation of the plan for the best possible outcome.
Using the Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX] Download Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal Template [DOCX]will help you stay organized and concise. As you complete each section of the template, make sure you apply APA format to in-text citations for the evidence and best practices that inform your plan, as well as the reference list at the end.
Additionally, 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.

Go into the UTA library page and find the CINAHL search engine. For guidance, view the video available under Module 1 Readings to navigate a CINAHL search. Use at least three keywords (one of them must be your topic) and see how many articles you get. Take a screenshot of your search that shows your keywords and how many articles you got. If you did not get at least ten articles, modify your keywords and try again. Paste the screenshot onto a word document and upload it. This assignment will help get you ready for next week when you will actually find a nursing research article related to your topic.

Research Paper:
A research paper is a piece of academic writing that provides analysis, interpretation, and
argument based on in-depth independent research,
Writing a research paper requires you to demonstrate a strong knowledge of your topic, engage
with a variety of sources, and make an original contribution to the debate.
There are many ways to generate an idea for a research paper:
Brainstorming.
You can try free writing, which involves taking a broad topic and writing continuously for
a few minutes to identify anything relevant that could be interesting.
You can also gain inspiration from another research. The discussion or
recommendations sections of research papers often include ideas for other specific
topics that require further examination.
Once you have a broad subject area, narrow it down to choose a topic that interests you, meets
the criteria of your assignment, and is possible to research.
Choose ideas that are both original and specific.
Introduction:
Set the context–Provide general information about the main idea, explaining the situation so the
reader can make sense of the topic and the claims you make and support.
State why the main idea is important–Tell the reader why he should keep reading.
The goal is to create a compelling, clear, and convincing essay people will want to read and act
upon.
State your thesis/claim.
Body of the Essay:
Find supporting arguments for each point you make, and present a strong point first, followed by
an even stronger one, finishing with your strongest point.
Show clearly how each point supports your thesis statement.
Conclusion:
The conclusion is designed to help your reader out of the paper’s argument, giving them a
sense of finality.
Trace the course of the paper, emphasizing how it all comes together to prove your thesis
statement. Give the paper a sense of finality by making sure the reader understands how you’ve
settled the issues raised in the introduction.
**Choose a piece of literature that you consider being the best one you’ve read by that
author. Make a thesis statement about this piece describing what makes it so good. Discuss
what elements make it so outstanding, i.e., plot, setting, conflict theme, etc. Compare and
contrast this piece with similar pieces written by others or this author. Discuss what other
commentators or critics have to say about this piece and comment on them. Discuss what
external elements, such as the author’s background may have influenced the writing of this
piece. Restate your thesis as a conclusion and briefly restate your supporting evidence.
Document all sources using the MLA format.

In this assignment you will collect examples from everyday
communication in which you participate to underscore the point that
language is about CULTURAL COMPETENCE (knowing what to say and when to
say it, and to whom to say it – with “say” being used here to include
both speech and Sign) as much as it is about LINGUISTIC COMPETENCE
(being able to construct an utterance that uses grammar flawlessly) 3 pages
The categories of communication you might pay particular attention to include:
Examples
of learning a new word or phrase, or a slang term. Is it enough to be
able to recreate it and insert it into a sentence in a grammatically
correct way? What cultural and social cues are important to know as
well?
Examples of people making mistakes in what they
communicate, not because they cannot be understood, but because their
intentions are misread, or because they don’t assess the situation well
enough to know what to say or how to say it (think of children, or
people unfamiliar with English – or any other language you choose to
discuss).
What about gesture and body language? What kinds of
social and cultural expectations attach themselves to visual and
kinesthetic components? What is acceptable and not acceptable (and in
what contexts) in terms of how one uses one’s hands, body or face in
speech communication? If the modality is Sign, what is acceptable and
not acceptable visually and kinesthetically there?
Finally, how
does tone of voice, or how fast or slowly one speaks factor into all
this? What meanings flow from how a person sounds when they talk?
Use at least two of the above suggestions for your study.
Make
your observations, taking careful notes. Then compose your examples
into a short essay (around 3 pages in length, double-spaced, 1 ” margins
etc. etc.) in which you argue for the anthropological view of language
as a socio-cultural as well as a cognitive/technical achievement.
A possible outline of a good essay is as follows:
Define
linguistic and cultural competence. Explain how they differ from one
another. (You can jump straight into this, there is no need for a
separate introduction).
What situations or events did you observe?
Briefly
describe how each situation illustrated the difference between
linguistic and cultural competence. (There is no real need for formal
conclusion either, so just finish up with your last example).
I
don’t use formal rubrics but the table below may be helpful to you in
setting out what I look for in a successful (versus an unsuccessful)
answer.

WHAT A SUCCESSFUL PAPER WOULD DO (THE RUBRIC/EVALUATIVE CRITERIA)
● Set up the writing assignment with background information and context that effectively
● Accurately and effectively represents what Bourdieu offers as empirical evidence to directly substantiate his main argument (as appropriate, given your audience and purpose).
● Identifies various ways Bourdieu indirectly attempts to advance his argument (include a minimum of three of his persuasive strategies) AND convincingly argues how and why each of those aspects of the text are working to increase the likelihood readers will accept his argument [*This is the most important aspect of your writing assignment].
● Demonstrates a clear understanding of the essential concepts related to argument analysis and rhetorical analysis.
● Effectively guides your readers from idea to idea, especially between your argument and rhetorical analysis, as well as between your rhetorical analysis body paragraphs.
● Includes a counter argument paragraph utilizing a source of your choice with secondary evidence from all of the “Place Block” readings. Further, bolster your analysis and evaluation of Bourdieu’s theories and the future of cultural capital for our society and how it serves our “Place” as humans integrating evidence from each and every reading within the “Place Block.”
● Adequately concludes the paper using standard conclusion formatting and with a final rhetorical conclusion. ENG120RhetConcl-2.pdf
Include a works cited page and in-text citations in MLA format, as well as proper header and paper in standard MLA format.

You have the option to define the meaning of one of the three concepts: • Success; • Friendship; • Evil. 
My chosen option will be Friendship. 

MY professor notes (This counterargument is on the right track: the point that social media can boost political engagement and activism works well as an argument regarding polarization, and Bernard Matisi’s article seems like it could be used effectively to explain that position. Similarly, the pew research article is promising as a source that may explain why people in many countries see social media as beneficial for politics.
Things to work on:
– The introduction needs to be reorganized: place the full restatement of your position first, then pivot to the counterclaim second.
– One big thing to work on is using the sources to develop the counterarguments more thoroughly: first, provide more details from the sources that show the evidence and reasoning that support the counterclaims: what examples and specific data do these sources base their conclusions on? You also need to use and explain direct quotes from sources: this is good practice in academic writing in general and a fundamental requirement for this course.
– The rebuttals similarly need to make more effective use of sources: use a quote from Allcott and Gentzkow to help show more engagement in politics also leaves people more vulnerable to misinformation. The second rebuttal (filter bubbles exist, based on Pariser) seems to circle back to the argument in paper one. The rebuttals to counterarguments should advance the argument rather than restating it.
– Both counterarguments and rebuttals need more elaboration: the paper is about a page short.
– Use author’s last name for in-text citations (so, Matisi, not Bernie).
– There are some examples of confusing wording marked in the paper.)

Background
Learning about the rhetorical modes will help you internalize methods of development and patterns of organization for your writing. Using one or more rhetorical modes in your writing will help you fully understand the modes. Instructions
For this assignment, write a single paragraph that consists of about 150-200 words and responds to one of the following prompts below. The paragraph should use the rhetorical modes of narration and description. Things to remember:
Narration/Description assignments (While these are two separate strategies, they are typically used together) require chronological order. Since the writing reflects on your own experience, use the past tense and the first-person point of view (I, me, we, us). The descriptive parts appeal to the senses and provide concrete and specific descriptions. Instead of writing that the air smelled good, write about the sweet smell of orange blossoms hanging in the air.
You may review the Rhetorical Strategies unit (Module 2 Learning Materials, Part 3) if needed.
The topic sentence should be the most general sentence. Remember that it serves two purposes: it states the main point of the paragraph, and it limits the paragraph to supporting that main point. Present your topic sentence first. It should be the first sentence that appears in your paragraph.
Prompts:
What is the most difficult thing you’ve had to learn?
When was the last time you were proud of yourself OR disappointed in yourself? (select only one)
What is your most vivid memory of childhood?
