The learning resources in the unit provided an overview of the impact of nurses’ practice environment on patient outcomes, as well as, professional autonomy and role satisfaction.

The resource articles provide illustrations of how a practice environment analysis has been applied in tertiary and ambulatory care settings.

Using the 7 domains of analysis noted in Figure 2 of the Pursio et al. (2024) article and the TOP10 items (Extracted of PES-NWI) from the right-hand side of Table 5 of the Martinez-Riera et al. (2020) article develop a professional presentation that aligns with the requirements noted below.

Include the following in your presentation:

1. A title slide
2. A minimum of four slides for each of the 7 domains of analysis from the Pursio et al. (2024) article (total of 28 slides for this element of the presentation)
   • first slide for each domain of analysis – Title of the Domain (from the Pursio et al. article)
   • second slide – correlate that domain with what you perceive to be the appropriate PES-NWI item(s) noted in the right-hand side of Table 5 of the Martinez-Riera et al. (2020) article
   • third slide for each domain of analysis – provide a discussion of your observations and thoughts about the strengths and opportunities in your current practice environment with the PES-NWI items you have correlated with this domain; this discussion may require more than a single slide
   • fourth slide for each domain of analysis – identify one nursing leadership strategy you would deploy to either bolster the strength OR address the opportunity you identified on the preceding slide; be sure to include a resource/reference to support your selected strategy
3. Summary slide – discuss how the practice environment analysis framework aligns with contemporary leadership theories in nursing
4. References slide

In Week 5, you were assigned by Faculty to argue either the pro (for) or con (against) for a particular medication. You were also provided information for a patient case study scenario. Week 5 was your opportunity to conduct research for this debate.

This week, you will present and defend your assigned stance (pro or con) and specific medication for your patient case study scenario with your peers. Within the debate, you will also share your perspective on why the alternative medication class would not be appropriate for the patient case scenario.

Support your answers with evidence-based, peer-reviewed scholarly literature.

Note: APA style format with citations and references will apply.

As a reminder, these were the assigned medications:

To prepare:

• Review the Required Learning Resources.
• Review your research regarding your position and medication.
• Consider how you will apply your specific position and medication to the presented patient case.

BY DAY 3 OF WEEK 6

Post your response detailing your argument for the following:

• What is the proposed mechanism of action of the medication(s)? Why might this be appropriate for the patients?
• What are the advantages or disadvantages to your class of medication (options for different administration, length of duration, etc.)?
• What are the advantages or disadvantages to the other medication options?
• What possible side effects or considerations need to be evaluated?
• Provide one example for each considerationlegal, ethical, and social implicationsfor prescribing the medication category.

Note: Your response needs to be supported by three 3 scholarly peer-reviewed resources located outside of your course learning resources.

Create a 12-15 page complete teaching plan, synthesizing previous work with an assessment plan for the course to create a cohesive whole.

INTRO:

Assessment is a key to teaching and learning. In this assessment, you will select meaningful ways to assess the teaching and learning in the course you have been designing, and will tie together each of the parts of your course design

PREPARE:

For this assessment, you will build an assessment plan of your own that fits with your course plan. Your assessment plan should blend seamlessly into the course components that you have already designed (ATTACHED ARE ASSESSMENTS 1-3). To that end, you will consolidate the work you have already completed in earlier assessments with the assessment plan here in order to create a clear, concise, focused teaching plan that meets the needs of the content, learner population, and environment.

Take time to reflect on the following questions as you craft your assessment plan for your course, conducting additional research as necessary.

What types of assessment do you believe are most appropriate for your educational topic and intended audience?

• How will you evaluate whether or not learning outcomes were accomplished?
• Do the assessments you selected support cultural competence?
• How will the assessments demonstrate that learning has occurred?
• As you select the assessments that you will use, what is your rationale for the type of assessments you will use? Explain how these assessments support differences in learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic)?

Also, before completing your final, complete course plan, be sure to make any necessary changes or improvements based on what you have learned over the course overall.

(Optional) Practice implementing these considerations in the Vila Health challenge provided in the Resources before beginning your work here.

As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Create a complete teaching plan for your course that fuses together all previous course components and includes the addition of a detailed assessment plan.

Your complete teaching plan should provide:

• An overview of the course topic, environment, and learner population.
• An explanation of the learner outcomes for the course as well as the learning theory or theories that are the foundation of the course.
• An incorporation of evidence-based best practices to enhance learner motivation in your selected learning environment and format.
• An integration of appropriate teaching strategies, techniques, and learner outcomes for nursing and healthcare education for use in specific situations and populations and of evidence-based best practices for classroom and learner management.
• A consideration of barriers to learning when designing and developing educational programs and an integration of cultural competence in nursing and healthcare educational offerings.
• A logical, well-designed assessment plan that addresses these points:
  • A selection of assessment types that are most appropriate for the content, environment, and learner population.
  • An explanation of how you will evaluate whether or not learning outcomes were accomplished in the course, and how assessments will demonstrate that learners have learned as intended.
  • An analysis of how your selected assessment types support cultural competence as well as fit for learners with varied learning styles.

Organize your plan as follows:

• Title page.
• Table of Contents.
• An overview of your course (topic, setting audience, and so on).
• Learning Theories and Diversity (Assessment 1).
• Teaching Strategies (Assessment 2).
• Management and Motivation (Assessment 3).
• Assessment Strategies (designed in this Assessment).
• Summary.
• References.
• Appendices.

Your completed plan should be clear and flow together well. It should show cohesion, understanding, and the application of best practices, and all writing should be professional and free of errors.

• Format: 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font, double-spaced in Microsoft Word.
• Length: 1215 pages, plus a title page and a references page.
• Use correct APA format, including running head, page numbers, and a title page.
• Use and cite at least 10 references, and at least five of them from peer-reviewed journals that are not required for this course.
• Writing should be free of grammar and spelling errors that distract from content.
