Questions and answers 1. Based on your own employment experiences, give an example of how the job requirements differed from the official job description. Relate the problems or benefits of the situation. 2. Discuss the impact of unions in the arts. Make a case for the positive or negative impact of a unionized workforce. 3. Write a job description for a position in an arts organization using the outline provided in the box titled Sample Job Posting. 4. What does an Internet search return when you enter the phrase diversity in the arts? Discuss some of the sites you found and relate them to how to better address workplace diversity among arts staffs and board. 5. Have you ever gone through a formal job orientation? Was it an effective tool for bringing you into the work environment? 6. Based on your local community, what examples can you find of effective or struggling boards? What recommendations would you make to organizations with struggling boards to strengthen their impact?

Differentiate between randomized and nonrandomized approaches to sampling populations. Discuss the importance of the role of sampling when conducting research. Snowball sampling is a form of sampling where participants recommend people they know as research participants. Explain one pro and one con to this approach. Discuss the usefulness of pretesting, pilot testing, or field-testing a survey or interview questionnaire. In some large-scale research projects the researcher is not always the one collecting data but is more heavily involved in the analysis and interpretation of the data. Would this create a challenge in a quantitative study where a survey was used for data collection? Would this scenario create a challenge in a qualitative study where a one-to one interview or focus group data collection method was used? Explain why or why not for both scenarios. As you experienced in the Week 3 assignment, qualitative methods research can encompass some interesting forms of research approach to help us understand the human experience in society, such as ethnography. In the resources this week we asked you to review three other forms of approach that help us understand in unique ways: visual, documentary, and oral history. After reviewing the resources provided, describe each form of approach. Explain their unique differences and similarities. What is gained by conveying human experience via visual or audio as opposed to a written interpretation? Which form of approach did you find the most compelling in sharing the experience of humans in society? Explain why. Do you think that these forms of visual and audio data evidence could be more powerful for influencing social change and public policy than written or statistical data? Explain your response. Your initial post should be at least 800 words in length.

Clinical topic/Credible resources brochure Patients today use the internet prolifically to locate health information. However, credible resources are not always accessed. Consider how you, as the nurse, can better guide patients in the use of credible health information. Choose a clinical topic of interest to you. Example: Diabetes. Apply concepts learned in Chapter 16 to: Include a 1-2 page paper (academic paper format) highlighting who your target audience is, explain how you would teach a patient to locate credible health sources. The paper should have an introduction, purpose statement, and a conclusion. Follow APA formatting. Create a patient teaching brochure on the clinical topic of choice. Include a minimum of three (3) credible sources (with url) patients can access for more information Please find the attached student example for review. Please do not use any part of this as it has been through the turnitin software An example paper/brochure is attached below.

You will evaluate the effectiveness of your leadership style when applied to problem-solving or a change opportunity. Bear in mind that this may have been your initial attempt to lead a team in a problem-solving scenario, or a change opportunity mode. Do not be hard on yourself! Even with all that you have learned, and what you know, it is not an easy task to lead a team of individuals with best intentions into uncharted waters. Give yourself credit for the courage it takes to try. Black belts take years to develop their skill-set, and the intuition to know where to lead. You have only had 6 weeks! As stated earlier, the truth is that very few CIP teams will actually solve a problem or address a change opportunity in their initial efforts. This is also true with your leadership efforts. It is not easy to lead, much less to know how or what direction will lead to success. There is a direct correlation between leading and knowing that to lead is often to know (Latin, educeo – educere and scio – scioere). There are correlations between these actions; and embraced together, these actions become the foundation of education and science. Often the most important lessons learned are the effects of decisions made in error or what actions simply did not work. The best intentions alone will not yield positive results. This is also true of your own leadership style. Your style is emerging, morphing as your skillset is built and your opportunities to situationally lead present themselves. You are better for the experienceand take heart, in your next opportunity to lead for a change, you will be wiser. Complete your Personal Leadership Profile matrix, and then write a brief summary of your findings. As you prepare your analysis, consider the following elements in your documentation: 1-Analyze the effectiveness of your leadership approach used in your role as change agent or consultant to lead your team. 2-Analyze the effectiveness of your leadership style in the process improvement setting concerning an organizations overall health. 3-Critique at least two measures of organizational effectiveness that do not seem to be positively correlated with the approach of your leadership style. references 1- Breevaart, K., Bakker, A., Hetland, J., Demerouti, E., Olsen, O.
