    Revise this paper based on my professor’s and classmates’ comments. 
    The professor’s comment is:  Maybe this will help you identify the structural difference between an argumentative thesis and a causal analysis: In an argumentative thesis, there’s at least one opposite argument. In a causal analysts thesis, you’re arguing that there’s a relationship between two things (a cause/effect relationship) that is plausible. Whereas an argumentative essay presents an argument, the causal analysis essay uses argumentation techniques to prove causality.

  • “Suppressing Rights in Nursing: Ethical Implications and Solutions” “Addressing the Ethical Issue of Suppression of Rights in Nursing: Strategies for Securing the General Welfare of Nurses and Patients”

    Hello class, my name is Sarah Cummings and I will be presenting on the selected topic of suppressing rights such as freedom of speech and choice.0:01
    In the following slides, I will introduce and define organizational ethics.0:10
    Discuss the rights of nurses and present an ethical situation related to the topic.0:14
    Then I will support the ethical situation with ethical code and principles.0:20
    Finally, I will suggest methods for nurses to lessen the impact of this ethical situation on nursing practice.0:25
    Organizational ethics is a broad concept that refers to the organization’s character, culture, shared purpose, processes, and outcomes.0:32
    The ethical climate of an organization is formed by their response to ethical issues and challenges.0:41
    It is defined further as the shared perceptions of members values related to decision making on the topics of power, trust, and human interactions.0:47
    Well. The suppression of rights and freedoms can have consequences for patients, providers and all members of the health care team.0:57
    We will be focusing on the rights of nurses and the ethical implications of suppressing the rights of nurses.1:04
    Nursing rights can be broken down into four categories.1:11
    Human rights include the right of respect for one’s personal beliefs and to work in accordance with one’s own persuasions.1:14
    Civil rights involve basic legal rights such as political freedom and rights of equality.1:21
    Furthermore, healthcare legislation includes the right to practice the nursing profession,1:27
    rights pertaining to the nurse’s employment contract, and rights involving the safety of working conditions.1:32
    Finally, the professional rights of nurses are the right to practice their profession, to practice in a safe and ethical environment,1:38
    and to advocate for themselves and for their patients without fear of negative consequences.1:45
    Many nurses have their rights taken away or suppressed,1:52
    whether by discrete organizational culture or nursing leadership, or individual fear and lack of awareness.1:55
    A frequent result of this suppression of nursing rights is the ethical situation of unsafe nurse to patients staffing ratios.2:02
    In many cases, nurses are coerced to care for more patients than they can safely handle or to perform unsafe practices with patients.2:10
    When this happens, nurses may be unable to exercise safe and competent care, putting patients at risk for adverse events and even medication errors.2:18
    Furthermore, when nurses are not presented with a choice or penalized for speaking out about unsafe processes or practices,2:27
    this can lead to job dissatisfaction and distrust with nursing leadership,2:35
    which can both contribute to incidents of nursing burnout and frequent turnover.2:39
    This ethical situation of unsafe staffing and penalization for whistleblowing directly violates nursing rights,2:45
    and therefore gets no nurse’s way of practicing ethically in this ethical situation.2:51
    The nurse may be unable to work within their own persuasion or competence, violating their human rights.2:56
    They may be unable to practice in the same conditions as another nurse violating their civil rights,3:02
    or face unsafe working conditions, violating healthcare legislation.3:08
    Finally, they may be penalized for advocating for themselves in an ethical working environment which violates their professional rights.3:12
    Suppressing the rights of nurses directly violates the ethical code for the profession.3:21
    Specifically, this ethical situation relates to provision six of the American Nurses Association’s Code of Ethics for nurses.3:25
    Provision six states that the nurse, through individual and collective effort, establishes, maintains,3:34
    and improves the ethical environment of the work, setting and conditions of employment that are conducive to safe, quality health care.3:40
    This involves creating morally good environments, addressing concerns through speech,3:47
    promoting justice and beneficence, and securing the general welfare of nurses and patients.3:52
    According to butts and Rich, this ethical situation may often result in an infringement of one or more bioethical principles.3:59
    In this case,4:07
    autonomy or freedom of speech and choice may be jeopardized when nurses or organizations are unable to say no to expanded responsibilities,4:08
    making it harder for nurses to maintain quality standards of practice.4:17
    Secondly,4:21
    justice is also violated when the abilities of nurses to provide competent care are limited due to unfair workloads or other workplace conditions.4:22
    In order to lessen the impact of this ethical situation on the nurses practice, there are a few strategies the nurse may take.4:33
    First, understand legal, organizational and professional rights according to can does any at all.4:40
    Understanding nursing rights, not just nurse duties ensures quality, safety and effective patient care.4:48
    Understanding nursing rights is also connected to well-being at work.4:54
    Secondly, nurses should advocate for autonomy and justice at work cuts,4:58
    and Rich encouraged nurses to use what they refer to as moral courage and communication.5:03
    You should be honest and open about the situations they are dealing with.5:09
    Thirdly, nurses can get involved. You can join shared governance management rounds, meetings with nurse leaders or even a union.5:14
    Nurses should exercise the rights of free speech and free choice at work.5:22
    They should also make leadership aware of injustice and suppression of rights.5:26
    When in doubt, the nurse, confronted with the ethical situation of unsafe staffing and suppressed rights,5:32
    may refer to the written information and policies established by the American Nurses Association.5:38
    These exist to support and guide the nurse through complex ethical and human rights issues.5:44
    In summary, the suppression of rights is a major issue within organizational ethics.5:51
    Whether the suppression of speech or choice, nurses whose rights are suppressed may be unable to perform their duties ethically.5:56
    Specifically, nurses forced into unsafe working conditions,6:04
    such as unsafe staffing or at risk for adverse events, and workplace dissatisfaction or burnout.6:08
    Nursing codes and well understood ethical principles support the rights of nurses to practice ethically and to express their human,6:15
    civil, and professional rights. There are several ways for nurses to address the ethical issue of suppression of rights,6:22
    including voicing their concerns, advocating themselves, and being involved in and with nursing leadership.6:28
    Suppressing the rights of nurses puts both nurse and patient at harm for the sake of their patients and their profession.6:35
    Nurses must be aware of these situations and armed to address them as they arise.6:42
    Here are my references used in this presentation. Thank you so much for listening, and please let me know if you have any questions about the topic.6:49
    Thank you.6:56

  • Overview: Evaluating and Recommending Changes to Organizational Structure

    Overview
    In this assignment, you will evaluate a current organizational structure and recommend structural changes that can help address the concerns the organization identified regarding collaboration, communication, and autonomy.
    Scenario
    You work for an organization that has traditionally been very formalized, and managers have had a very broad span of control over direct reports from multiple departments and functions. This worked well in the past; managers were able to oversee a high number of direct reports because there were many rules and regulations dictating how their work should be performed. However, there were downsides. Employee talent was underused, and there wasn’t a strong team culture, as most work was done independently according to standard operating processes.
    Recently, the organization has been shifting to less formalized working structures to support more creative, innovative work and provide employees with more autonomy. While employees are happy with the purpose of these new changes, managers are feeling overwhelmed, and employees are feeling under supported. This has impacted function-specific work the most, because in the past, managers didn’t need to understand in-depth, function-specific tasks (such as the technical aspects of graphic design work or the intricacies of project management). Instead, they had the ability to rely on rules, regulations, and standard operating processes. Employees have also noticed a lack of communication around current projects, which has led to a lack of updated information and duplicated work across management teams.
    You have been asked to work with the human resources department to recommend a new organizational structure that addresses these identified management and communication concerns.
    Prompt
    Use the Module Six Assignment Template located in the Guidelines for Submission section to create an updated organizational structure chart for the organization. Then, in a separate Word document, write a brief explanation for your recommended changes and how they will impact both organizational communication and overall team dynamics.
    Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
    Updated Organizational Structure Chart: Create an updated organizational structure chart that addresses management and communication concerns.
    Explanation of Changes: Explain your reasoning for why you made the changes you did to the company’s organizational structure. Include how your changes differ from the original and why you believe they would benefit the organization.
    Impact on Organizational Communication: Describe the impact these changes will have on the company’s overall organizational communication.
    Impact on Team Communication: Describe the impact these changes will have on the company’s overall team communication and reporting structure.
    What to Submit
    Submit your completed Module Six Assignment Template PPT as a PPT file. Submit your separate, written submission as a 2- to 3-page Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font, double spacing, and one-inch margins.
