    Touchstone 4: Art and Architecture: Uniting Culture, Innovation, and Religious Ideals

    Overview

    What You Will Learn: You will explore how art and architecture intersect with culture, innovation, and religious expression.

    Why It Matters: This paper will demonstrate your ability to put a work of art or piece of architecture in its historical context by

    a. explaining how earlier works of art bring about artistic innovation.

    b. how works reflect the religious culture that produced them.

    What You Will Hand In: A 4 – 5 page (1,000 – 1,200 word) paper saved as a Microsoft Word (.docx or .doc) file.

    Keys to Success:

    • Develop and submit original work.
    • Select four works of art or architecture described in the tutorials; two that exemplify innovation and two that exemplify religious expression.
    • Put the works in an appropriate historical context, two in the context of innovation and two in the context of religious significance.
    • Use only the Sophia tutorials as source material. No external sources are allowed.

    Helpful Links:

    Instructions

    Step 1: Review the Tutorials and Select Four Examples

    • Select two works of art from the list below that exemplify innovation; this innovation may be stylistic, technological, or both.
    • Select two works of art from the list below that exemplify religious expression.

    Step 2: Write the Touchstone

    • Write your paper about the four works, following this basic structure:
    1. Introduction (100-200 words): provide a broad overview of the paper, the claims you will defend, and the works of art you will describe.
    2. Innovation (300-500 words): give the historical and cultural context for each of the works of art you have selected and describe how these works both emerged from existing traditions and introduced new ideas in either style or technology. Compare and contrast the two works.
    3. Religious Expression (300-500 words): give the historical and cultural context for each of the works of art you have selected and describe how these works represent the religious ideals of the culture that produced them. Compare and contrast the two works.
    4. Conclusion (100-200 words): Summarize your analysis and provide closure to the paper.

    hint

    To build the skill of correctly citing your sources in academic writing, you should cite each tutorial with the four examples you describe in your paper. Because all of your sources will be Sophia tutorials, the in-text and reference page citations will look like this:

    • In-text citation: (Sophia Learning, n.d.)
    • Reference: Sophia Learning. (n.d.) Romanesque Architecture [Cathedral of Saint James]. Art History I.

    Adjust to identify the tutorial you are referencing. Visit the resource for more assistance.

    Step 3: Review and Submit Your Work

    • Review your work carefully and check the rubric to make sure you have met all the requirements. Submit as a Microsoft Word (.doc or .docx) file.

    We hope this assignment gives you a chance to reflect further on the works of art and architecture that struck a chord with you. Have fun, and good luck!

  • Implicit Bias Reflection

    Implicit bias (also called unconscious bias) refers to attitudes and beliefs that occur outside of our conscious awareness and control. In healthcare, it is important for nurses and all healthcare professionals to practice without bias to ensure excellent quality and equitable healthcare is being delivered to all. In healthcare, nurses (along with all healthcare professionals) need to be aware of their implicit biases so that they can acknowledge, reflect, and find ways to overcome the impact of their biases. This is one strategy to mitigate healthcare disparities. This assignment may seem familiar to you; however, two tests are new. Some of you are repeating the tests to determine if there is a difference in earlier findings. The assignment requires students to complete the Implicit Association Test by Harvard University. Link to the Implicit Association Test by Harvard University website: Select a Test (harvard.edu)

    The following tests should be completed in full (about 10 minutes each).

    1.

    Race

    2.

    Sexuality

    3.

    Weight

    4.

    Weapons

    5.

    Disability

    6.

    Transgender

    7.

    Arab

    Muslim

    Upon completion of the tests, students should review and save their findings and complete a reflection about insights into the findings, compare and contrast previous years findings for the same tests, and future steps that you personally will take to address what you discovered. Reflective papers should be written in first person and use of subheadings to follow APA. Assignment GenAI Guidelines: You must not use AI at any point during this assignment. You must demonstrate your core skills and knowledge (Perkins, et al., 2024). While working in a trusting and collegial atmosphere it is preferred, if, for any reason, your work appears to be driven by or assisted by GenAI tools, there will be consequences for that action. Consequences may include, among others, discussion with faculty, an opportunity to re-do the assignment, an automatic loss of points or failing grade on the assignment, and/or elevation to university-level consequences for academic dishonesty.

    I expect each component to be well written starting with an overall interpretation of your results, how they compare with prior results and your prespective as to what experiences or thoughts may have contributed to the results, who you are as an individal. Include a title page with APA format.

    Use these results below and reflect on all 7 of them with future strategies for growth:

  • Cultural Competence or Cultural Humility Topic

    Objective: To help students understand and communicate the importance of cultural competence, cultural humility, and embracing diverse perspectives in nursing practice, using Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s TED Talk as a foundation.

    In the previous assignment, you watched a

    where the speaker discussed stereotypes about individuals or groups based on limited information. She emphasizes the importance of understanding multiple perspectives and avoiding a single, one-sided narrative when it comes to cultures, people, and experiences. This talk highlights the significance of embracing diverse viewpoints and avoiding assumptions, both of which are essential in cultural competence and a global worldview in nursing.

    1. Take notes and reflect on the talk’s key messages and its relevance to nursing practice.
    2. Select a Cultural Competence or Cultural Humility Topic: Each student should choose a specific topic within cultural competence or cultural humility to focus on in their presentation. Topics may include the importance of cultural competence in healthcare, the role of empathy in nursing practice, addressing healthcare disparities, or strategies for promoting cultural humility.
    3. Develop a Presentation: Create a PowerPoint based on the following guidelines:
    • Introduction: Begin with a brief introduction to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s TED Talk and its relevance to nursing practice.
    • Chosen Topic: Present the selected cultural competence or cultural humility topic and its significance in nursing practice.
    • Key Messages: Highlight key messages or takeaways from Adichie’s talk that relate to the chosen topic.
    • Real-Life Examples: Include real-life examples or case studies from nursing practice that illustrate the importance of the chosen topic.
    • Strategies and Recommendations: Provide practical strategies and recommendations for nurses to apply the principles of cultural competence or cultural humility in their practice.
    • Conclusion: Summarize the main points and emphasize the call to action for nurses to embrace diversity and avoid single stories.
    1. Presentation Delivery: You may create a narrated PowerPoint with 7-10 slides (not including title or reference slides), or a recorded video presentation. Speaker notes should be included if you do not use a voiceover or narrated format. A recorded video presentation should not be more than 8-10 minutes (no less than 6-7 minutes).

    Assessment Criteria:

    Assessment of the presentations will be based on the following criteria:

    • Relevance to the TED Talk and Nursing Practice
    • Practical Strategies and Recommendations
    • Presentation Skills (speaker notes or voiceover).
    • Overall Presentation Quality (slide limit, no full sentences, creativity, grammar, spelling)

    Be creative… include color, pictures, and anything to grab the attention of your audience. Remember that PowerPoint presentations have minimal words on slides (only key points). However, you will use the speaker notes to expand on slides and explain the slides (you can do this with a voiceover or in speaker notes).

    PowerPoint Template may be used or you may create your own (remember, if you are creating a PPT, you must either do a voiceover or speaker notes). When submitting, please use the following job aid to submit with speaker notes. PPT must be submitted in pdf format if using speaker notes.

  • Draft of Project

    How to Complete Your Draft/Outline of Your PowerPoint Project

    This step involves planning your PowerPoint presentation before creating the actual slides. Think of it as your blueprint it shows what you will include and how your ideas will be organized.

    Heres what to do:

    1. Choose your topic (Drug of choice) Drug of choice is Sertraline (Zoloft).

    Decide what your presentation will be about (approved drug of choice), and start your research on the drug.

    2. Create a Basic Structure

    Outline your headings just the main ideas, not the full text. A simple structure looks like this:

    1. Title page/slide Your name, topic, and date.
    2. Introduction Briefly explain what your presentation will cover and why its important.
    3. Main Points (Bullet points or slides) The key ideas or sections of your topic.
    • For each main point, list the evidence, examples, or visuals you plan to include.
    1. Conclusion Summarize your main points.
    2. References Cite the source of your information using APA 7 format.

    3. You can create this in a PowerPoint slide or a Word document (Bullet Points)

    Write short bullet points about:

    • What you plan to say on that slide
    • What images, graphs, or visuals you might include

    4. Keep It Simple

    You dont need to design the actual PowerPoint yet this is just your draft plan. Those who submit their completed/finished PowerPoint presentation would have grades deducted because that is not the instructions given for this assignment.

    What I want to see:

    • Have a clear structure.
    • Bullet point information (brief summary with main ideas and not full texts).
    • Know what information youll include in your final Presentation.
    • Understand the flow of your presentation

    For this week you will present a voiceover Powerpoint presentation (with the video on) on your drug of choice. You are to be dressed in office attire. The purpose of the presentation is for you to educate your colleagues on the drug you have selected. The presentation must include information about the:

    • Drug pharmacology, pharmacokinetics
    • Brand name
    • Generic name
    • Dosing
    • Indications for use
    • Side effects
    • Contraindications
    • Pregnancy class
    • You must also perform a cost analysis of the drug.
    • Provide a patient case study on a patient in which you would utilize the drug you have selected and include at least two peer-reviewed evidence-based studies related to the drug.
    • Describe the appropriate patient education.
    • What is your role as a Nurse Practitioner for prescribing this medication to this patient on your case study presentation?
    • Describe the monitoring and follow-up.

    Submission Instructions:

    • Voiceover Presentation is original work and logically organized in current APA style including citation of references.
    • Incorporate a minimum of 4 current (published within last five years) scholarly journal articles within your work.
    • PowerPoint presentation with 10-15 slides, excluding the title slide and the reference slide.
  • excellent synthesis of a sustainable tourism plan

  • discussion

    Discussion 1-Staffing shortages in the Cath Lab don’t just make the day busier; they directly impact time-to-treatment and patient safety. When people are missing from the day, we have delays the entire time. In Cath Lab, you need enough people to handle each case. Even when the team is moving fast, staffing gaps create a coverage gap when there’s no buffer if something goes wrong. From a patient safety standpoint, short staffing increases risk across the board; errors in meds, monitoring, and responding in a timely manner, and procedural complications because the team is stretched. Team dynamic takes a hit because Cath lab depends on tight coordination between RN, tech, physicians, and ancillary staff. When short, tension rises fast. We tend to get into a survival mode, and communication can become short and clipped. It causes experienced staff to get burnt out and new staff to be overwhelmed, and can lead to turnover.

    A few things we can do, as nurse leaders, are to have protected call coverage. It makes sure we have enough staff members to make sure the same people aren’t always on call. It helps prevent call fatigue. Another thing that could be beneficial is training staff to be cross-trained in multiple areas. When a department needs help, you are able to send staff to help out.

    For front-line staff, they need to communicate effectively. Making sure time-outs are used to ensure the patients are safe, even when it is a busy and chaotic day. Effective handoffs with other departments will help with that as well. In the long term, it is important to track our care. We log for door-to-balloon times, room turnover times, and call schedules. That helps make sure the patient is getting the care they need, and staff aren’t getting burnt out.

    Discussion 2- In many settings, staffing shortages are an every day issue. Inadequate staffing can lead to poor patient outcomes such as medication errors, delay in care, higher infection rates, longer length of stay, and decreased patient satisfaction. Nurses may be forced to prioritize tasks rather and provide holistic care, which compromises both safety and quality. Higher nurse to patient ratios are associated with increased mortality and adverse events, which highlights the critical role and adequate staffing plays in patient care.

    Past experiences have shown me the risks of inadequate staffing. When I worked in med-surg, tele, stoke we often had nurses sent to our floor from other units or from an agency, and many times they were not well equipped to manage the patient load or complexity. Even with the help of the charge nurse many times the nurses were far behind on med passes or checking new MD orders. There were times when a patients status had changed but the nurse was not aware and the oncoming shift discovered the change and had to call for a rapid response. During my time in Oncology staffing shortages have meant push back from supervisors when time off is requested. This is especially frustrating for a full time nurse who works Monday-Friday from 8:30 – 5pm because they are not able to schedule doctors’ visits on days off. These situations result in burnout, frustration, decreased morale, higher turnover, and a perpetuation of staffing crises.

    Some evidence-based strategies that nurse leaders can implement to address staffing shortages include implementing acuity-based staffing models, development of internal float pools, flexible scheduling, and investing in retention initiatives such as mentorship programs, shared governance, and professional development opportunities.

    Frontline nurses can contribute to both short-term and long-term solutions by participating in shared governance councils, providing feedback on staffing needs, and advocating for safe staffing practices. In the short term, teamwork, effective communication, and peer support can help mitigate immediate challenges. Long term, involvement in quality improvement initiatives, policy advocacy, and leadership development allows bedside nurses to influence systemic changes that support safe staffing and sustainable work environments.
