Any assignment with a final Copyleaks score above 20% will receive a grade of 0 points.
Please review the assignment’s “Grading Rubric” before you start working on it to make sure you understand all the requirements.
For this assessment, you will develop a Word document or an online resource repository of at least 12 annotated professional or scholarly resources that you consider critical for the audience of your safety improvement plan to understand or implement to ensure the success of the plan.
Using Google Sites, assemble an online resource tool kit containing at least 12 annotated resources that you consider critical to the success of your safety improvement initiative. These resources should enable nurses and others to implement and maintain the safety improvement you have developed.
It is recommended that you focus on the three or four most critical categories or themes with respect to your safety improvement initiative. For example, if your initiative concerns improving workplace safety for practitioners, you might choose broad themes such as general organizational safety and quality best practices; environmental safety and quality risks; individual strategies to improve personal and team safety; and process best practices for reporting and improving environmental safety issues.
Following the recommended scheme, you would collect at least three resources on average for each of the four categories. ;Each resource listing should include the following:
An APA-formatted citation of the resource with a working link.
A description of the information, skills, or tools provided by the resource.
A brief explanation of how the resource can help nurses better understand or implement the safety improvement initiative.
A description of how nurses can use this resource and when its use may be appropriate.
Remember that you must make your site public so that your faculty can access it. Check out the Google Sites resources in the Wiki Resources above for more information.
Here is an example entry:
Ko, S., Hsieh, M., & Huang, R. (2023). Human error analysis and modeling of medication-related adverse events in Taiwan using the human factors analysis and classification system regression. Healthcare, 11(14), 2063.
Nurses have a crucial responsibility in preventing medication errors. They should follow the “five rights of medication” to reduce the risk of such errors. These include the “right patient,” “right medication,” “right time,” “right dose,” and “right documentation.” By understanding these rights, nurses can manage medication administration effectively and ensure patient safety.
Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the rubric. Please study the rubric carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.

Reply from Ana Cotom
Fritz Lang, director of Metropolis (1927) depicts his two Maria characters quite differently from each other and the purpose of that could be his deterministic point of view in the film such as making one character good and the other one evil. For instance, Lang made Maria character gentle, caring for her community (the workers), peaceful, and gave her a maternal instinct which comes afloat when she hugs and cares for the workers children who are in danger due to water flooding the underground city (1:56:51 2:3:55). On the other hand, Lang creates Machine Maria (Machine Man) the femme fatale in the film who is heartless, cold, and chaotic as she seems happy when the men fight for her at the mens club (1:30:37 1:32:44). Also, the female essence in this film is that there are women who self-sacrifice themselves for others while others want to be independent which was hard at the time because women were under men authority.
This film gives a glimpse that women can be leaders such as Maria giving her discourses to the workers making them listening to her. However, her role as a female is to care for children which is the female essence at the time, 1927. On the other hand, Lang created Machine Maria who is to obey orders as women were under men’s authority.

Reply from Kenneth Jet Robinson
From the screening of Metropolis, I saw that Director Lang made an effort to depict both Maria and Machine Maria in two opposite ways. Put simply, Maria is depicted as a pure being and that of a caregiver or a mother of sorts. In this depiction It can also be seen that the “female essence” this film tries to represent is that of Purity, which is the complete opposite of the depiction of the character of Machine Maria. Machine maria sexualised and seductive in nature, practically cold and devoid of human emotion.
The film sends a confusing message to women; the most apparent takeaway that I could gather was that of keeping purity and avoiding impurity. This message, while simple, is extremely misogynistic as it tells women that they should submit themselves to one or the other and, depending on that choice, determines their “value and worth” to society.
Henry lawless is a 12 year old African American male who is in 7th grade and lives with his parents and seven year old sister. He was referred to outpatient child and adolescent and family center.
Chief Complaint:
According to the mother,” My son’s aggressive behavior is out of control.”
History of Chief Complaint:
The parents report that Henry has been a good student but in the last six months his mood has been irritable and angry at home, and he has been having physical shoving matches with his sister that end in her crying and the patient being disciplined. He has been easily annoyed by anything his parents say to him, causing arguments with his parents and blaming them for annoying him. His teachers report that he seems more argumentative and disruptive in class. He had one episode at school where he became verbally aggressive with a student in class.
Past Psychiatric History:
Henry’s mother reports that her son’s behavior was somewhat a problem during early kindergarten. He did not like going to school, would protest, and then become aggressive with the other children, taking their toys, shoving and hitting them if they did not respond to his request.
His mother also indicated that during this time he would be ” mean” to the small dog that they adopted and kicked the dog when he walked past him. He would sit in timeout for at least 15 minutes, which would work sometimes but other times he would go back and try to kick the dog. The pattern of behavior became so bad that the parents had to go for counseling to deal with their anger towards Henry. A child psychiatrist diagnosed Henry with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and recommended that he be started on a psychostimulant at age 7. His parents were worried that he would become addicted and since his report cards were good they did not start the medicine.
This is an unfolding case study which we will be utilizing for this discussion
Questions:
Based on your readings and in regards to Henry’s history what additional questions do you have? Provide rationale for each question.(Have at least 3)
Are there cultural considerations that a nurse needs to consider when anticipating the needs of the family? (Elaborate on at least 3)
Describe two of the five phases of aggression and an appropriate nursing intervention for each.
What would be a possible plan of care for Henry should he become aggressive?
Based on your knowledge of disruptive disorders what is the anticipated diagnosis and treatment for Henry?
Add a question: After you have analyzed the content from the discussion board, please add a question to the end of your initial post regarding the reading material for the week.
Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.
Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer-reviewed journal evidence to support the students position.
