Which among the learning theories provided you with new information?

Please answer the 3 questions below. Each answer should be at least 300 words. Please use proper in-text citations and add the references used for each answer right under the answer not in a separate reference page. I do not need a separate reference page. Use as many references as you need.
1. The influence of consequential ethics as an ethical framework (the greatest good for the greatest number) opposes the ethical principle of deontology (i.e., the rightness of an act itself determines what is right). Both of these impact the nursing profession. Modern social exchange theories are based on the principle of utility. Read the assumptions of social exchange theory and consider how these would affect the nurse-patient relationship, compared to how these impact the nurse within the health care environment. To what extent are all theories ethical? Is social exchange theory compatible with the values of the nursing profession?
2. Which among the learning theories provided you with new information? (Use Leininger’s theory on cultural care) How would you apply this in your practice?
3. Comment on the usefulness of Benner’s work in your present or future role. Provide several examples.

Question 2
Employee Training (Chapter 10)
Using the ADDIE model compare and discuss the training and orientation process used in a facility you have worked in (200 beds hospital). What are some components of the current training and orientation process in your facility that are effective? Why? What are some components that could be improved? How?
Question 3

Choose a regulatory or accrediting body of your facility and discuss the roles and responsibilities of the nurse leader to obtain and maintain accreditation. If your facility received a deficiency discuss how you would address the deficiency.
Question 4
Risk Management

How is risk management defined? How does this definition differ from what occurs in your organization? What is the role of the nurse administrator in risk management?
Question 5
Theoretical Models
Reference: (2)
Please provide (2) references
How do nursing theoretical models impact the future of evidence-based practice? List three theoretical models that would be conducive to your practice setting. Identify key components of the models and how they can be applied to your setting to yield positive client outcomes.
Question 6
Promoting Quality
Summarize this article. Provide an example How would you incorporate promoting quality in your workplace? How would you promote quality as a nurse administrater?

You should be actively working with your CLC group to choose a nursing problem from your current practice setting, and identify a possible solution to that problem. Remember, your group will receive a collective grade on the assignment; however, your individual contribution to the CLC project will be considered.
Conduct a search of the literature related to this problem. Remember you are not just identifying articles related to your chosen topic; you need to thoroughly and critically appraise key components of four-five evidence-based research articles that support a solution to nursing practice issue. A minimum of 5 articles must be identified. This may include guidelines from the National Guideline Clearinghouse, Joanna Briggs Institute, or a review from the Cochrane Database of Systematic Review.
Prepare a 10-minute (8-10 slides; no larger than 5 MB) PowerPoint presentation related to the problem, evidence appraisal, and practice implications.
Include the following components into the presentation:
1. Present the nursing practice problem with the PICO question.
2. Discuss your appraisal of the literature that addresses the problem.
Present the proposed practice changes from an integration of the findings.

Psychosocial Factors in Health
Although the United States spends more money per capita on health care delivery, statistics indicate it is not a particularly healthy country. Over 50% of all preventable deaths in the United States are a result of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors (AACN, 2006). As epidemiologists explore essential questions such as how stressful life events and behavioral choices may influence an individual’s health, society wrestles with the distinction of what is actually within the control of an individual, and therefore relates to a personal responsibility for promoting well being, versus how larger-scale efforts can modulate psychosocial risk factors that result in population health problems.
In this Discussion, you will consider the connection between psychosocial risk factors and health outcomes. As you review the research literature, consider how you have come across this issue in your professional practice. As a nurse leader, what opportunities do you have to apply the information presented this week to promote improvements in population health status?
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources, focusing on the influence of psychosocial factors on health and disease.
Locate at least two examples from the research literature of how these factors influence health. If necessary, conduct additional research using the Walden Library and credible websites.
Examine strategies currently being employed to address these factors, including health promotion and disease prevention efforts.
Ask yourself: How are these strategies designed to improve population health status?
By tomorrow 04/04/2018 3pm, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below”
Post a cohesive scholarly response that addresses the following:
1) Provide a brief summary of each example, including the influence of psychosocial factors on health and disease as discussed in the research literature. Cite your sources.
2) What strategies are currently being used to address these factors? Support your response with examples from the literature.
3) Knowing that there are psychosocial factors that influence acute and chronic diseases, what is the role of the nurse in probing for that information or in larger initiatives?

In 1965, Austin Bradford Hill worked on a paper that has become a standard in public health and epidemiologic study about how to make decisions based on epidemiologic evidence. Hill put forth strategies for inferring causation and stressed the need for considering costs and benefits when planning health-promoting interventions. Review this article, which examines how Hill’s strategies are often misused or misinterpreted.
