Choose one Ted talk. I will upload the template and textbook as one of the references.

Instructions:

The Signature Assignment for this course combines all the concepts you have explored in this term. In this assignment, you will choose one of the TED Talks below and form a response based on the provided guidance using the provided template

. As you respond to the questions, you will be expected to connect the concepts covered in this course to the information in your chosen video.

As you develop your Signature Assignment, it is a mandatory requirement to support your logic with in-text citations from our textbook. These citations are essential for substantiating your claims and demonstrating your understanding of the course concepts.

Please ensure that you use the template and follow APA format for your paper, including a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page. Incorrect or missing citations may impact your grade, so be diligent in citing the textbook appropriately.

Please choose ONE of the following TED Talks to respond to.

• TED. (2019, October). Ethics: Yes, Even When Nobody is Watching / Dawne Ware
• [Video].
• TED. (2017, October). Money and Morals: The Art of Philosophic Investing / Henrik Syse [Video].
• TED. (2021, August). AI Isn’t as Smart as You Think–But It Could Be / Jeff Dean [Video].

For each number below, complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the subject matter of the class.

1. The Argument and Syllogism: Complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts indicated.
2. Summarize the overall argument of the video in your own words. Be sure to include details and the main points the speaker used to make the argument.
3. Identify the three parts of the syllogism the speaker uses to make the overall argument:

• Major Premise
• Minor Premise
• Conclusion

1. Testing the Syllogism: Complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts indicated.
2. Based upon the syllogism (your answer to Part 1. B), does this argument demonstrate inductive or deductive reasoning? Provide support for your choice. Be sure to only choose deductive OR inductive; you cannot choose both or neither.
3. If the argument is deductive, test your syllogism (your answers to Part 1. B) in terms of logical validity and soundness. Be sure to not only tell if the syllogism is valid and sound but also show how/how not or why/why not. If the argument is inductive, test your syllogism (your answers from Part 1. B) in terms of being a stronger or weaker inductive argument. Be sure to not only tell if the syllogism is stronger or weaker but also show how or why.
4. Rhetorical Appeals: Complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts indicated.
5. Identify examples of all three rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, and logos) that you noticed in this video and what information from the video has led you to your choices. Be sure to select specific words, phrases, or ideas and explain their connections to each type of appeal. Also, indicate what effect the use of these appeals has on the persuasiveness of the argument.
6. Rhetorical Devices and Logical Fallacies: Complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts indicated.
7. Identify at least one specific rhetorical device and one specific logical fallacy in the way this topic is presented. Be sure to define the rhetorical device and fallacy and demonstrate how or why the source employs them. Also, discuss whether you think the use of each device and fallacy was deliberate or not and assess the effect that each one has on the argument.
8. NOTE: Remember, ethos, pathos, and logos are rhetorical appeals, NOT devices, so they are not what is being asked here. This is asking about rhetorical devices.
9. Moral Reasoning: Complete a thoughtful and thorough paragraph long enough to demonstrate your understanding of the course concepts indicated.
10. A. Which specific kind of moral reasoning is demonstrated in your topic? Briefly elaborate on why you chose the one you did. Be sure to define the specific kind of moral reasoning you chose and demonstrate how or why the source employs them. Also, discuss whether the use of this kind of moral reasoning was deliberate and what effect it has on the persuasiveness of the argument.
11. Reaction and Reflection: Offer your position on the argument presented in the video you selected. Using your critical thinking skills, explain whether the speaker’s argument was effective or ineffective, and why.
12. Conclusion: What are the positive implications and negative consequences for the critical reasoning concepts that were used throughout your paper and in the video?

Instructions

Over the course of the semester you will choose 10 patient encounters to document an extended SOAP note for.

It is expected that you vary the primary focus of each note to ensure you are receiving quality feedback for several types of patient encounters to include acute, chronic and wellness encounters. You are not to utilize the same type of encounter, acute/chronic health condition or wellness exam, more than once unless you have received approval to do so from your clinical faculty person.

Each SOAP note carries a 15-point value.

SOAP notes will be evaluated using a standardized rubric. Please review the evaluation criterion to ensure that your SOAP notes are constructed to address the required elements and desired level of achievement.

For planned weekly clinical experiences submission of the 10 SOAP notes would be accomplished by submitting one SOAP note weekly for weeks 4 through week 13.

For planned and approved condensed, compressed or alternate clinical experiences, submission of the 10 SOAP note would be dependent on the approved clinical schedule. This may mean that more than 1 SOAP note would need to be submitted on a weekly basis. If you are not in clinical for weeks where a SOAP note is due a 0 will be input into the Grade Center as a place holder until you have submitted the required assignment.

Your organization has created an initiative to improve one of the pervasive and chronic health concerns in the community. Some examples of possibilities for health improvement initiatives include type 2 diabetes, HIV, obesity, and communicable diseases. You will need to do your own research to gather and evaluate the relevant data for your chosen issue.

Once you have created a presentation for the initiative, you have been asked to present to a group of community stakeholders. The purpose of your presentation is to inform and enlist support for the initiative from your audience.

The suggested headings for your presentation are:

• Community Data Evaluation.
• Meeting Community Needs.
• Measuring Outcomes.
• Communication Plan.
• Evidence.

In your presentation, you will:

• Evaluate the environmental and epidemiological data about your community to determine a population-focused priority for care.
• Identify the relevant data. This can be communicated in a table or chart.
• Describe the major population health issue suggested by the data within your community.
• Explain how environmental factors affect the health of community residents.
• Identify the level of evidence, validity, and reliability for each source.
• Explain what evidence in the current literature (published within the last five years) supports your evaluation of the data and the population focused priority of care you have selected.
• Develop an ethical health improvement plan with outcome criteria that addresses the population health priority that you identified in your evaluation.
• Consider the environmental realities and challenges existing in the community.
• Include interventions that will meet community needs.
• Address potential barriers or misunderstandings related to various cultures prevalent in the community.
• Propose criteria that can be used to evaluate the achievement of the plan’s outcomes for your population health improvement.
• Explain why your proposed criteria are appropriate and useful measures of success.
• Explain a plan to collaborate with a specific community organization to support the implementation of the population health improvement in an ethical, culturally sensitive, and inclusive way.
• Identify the community stakeholders that are relevant to your Population Health Improvement Plan.
• Develop a clear communication strategy that is mindful of the cultural and ethical expectations of colleagues and community members regarding data privacy.
• Ensure that your strategy enables you to make complex medical terms and concepts understandable to members of the community regardless of disabilities, language, or level of education.
• Explain the value and relevance of the evidence and technology resources used as the basis of a population health improvement plan.
• Explain why the evidence is valuable and relevant to the community health concern you are addressing.
• Explain why each piece of evidence is appropriate and informs the goal of improving the health of the community.
• Communicate the Evidence-Based Population Health Improvement Plan in a professional, effective manner that engages the community organization stakeholders and the community-at-large to implement and sustain change.
• What specific actions can the community stakeholders take themselves to build a feeling of community ownership in your plan?
• Integrate relevant sources to support assertions, correctly formatting citations and references using APA style.

Before starting to record your presentation make sure you have:

• Set up and tested your microphone and headset using the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer. You only need to use the headset if your audio is not clear or high quality when captured by the microphone.
• Practice using the equipment to ensure the audio quality is sufficient.
• Consult for guidance on how to record your presentation and upload it in the courseroom.
• Microsoft PowerPoint also allows you to record your narration with your slides. If you choose this option, simply submit your presentation to the appropriate area of the courseroom. Your narration will be included with your slides.
• Remember to practice delivering and recording your presentation multiple times to ensure effective delivery.

The purpose of assignments Part 1 – Part 3 is to gradually guide the student in developing the signature assignment. The idea is for the student to take a stepwise approach to completing the signature assignment. The signature assignment will be broken up into three steps: STEP 1 – Introduction and Overview of the Problem; STEP 2 Project Purpose Statement, Background & Significance and PICOt Formatted Clinical Project Question; and STEP 3 Literature Review and Critical Appraisal of the Literature. The three steps, when completed, will be combined in the final Signature Assignment formal paper in Week 8.

This weeks assignment is STEP 1 Introduction and Problem Statement.

First, the student will select a clinical question from the or seek approval for a question from the course professor only for Nurse Educator and Health Care Leadership MSN majors who wish to tailor their research question to their specialized major. The student will select an approved topic from the list (or with faculty approval as previously stated) and will customize the question to meet his or her interest.

Next, the student will use the outline below and submit via a Word doc to the assignment link.

1. Provide a title that conveys or describes the assignment.
2. Introduction Provide an introduction to your topic or project. The introduction gives the reader an accurate, concrete understanding what the project will cover and what can be gained from implementation of this project.
3. Overview of the Problem Provide a synopsis of the problem and some indication of why the problem is worth exploring or what contribution the proposed project is apt to make to practice.
4. Conclusion/Evaluation
5. References Cite references using APA 7th ed. Manual.
