Address a healthcare concern occurring within a community by providing macro level leadership needed to build a coalition.
REQUIREMENTS: must follow requirements!!!
Description of the Identified Healthcare Concern
You are the Vice-President of Nursing Services at a 500 bed facility that provides healthcare to a 6 county region that occurs in two different but adjoining states. Recently you attended a national conference regarding infectious diseases and the potential for their spread with our current global environment. Upon return from the conference, you have a conversation with a local public health official who identifies that there is no regional plan to combat an infectious disease outbreak. In addition, the official noted the presence of several barriers which will make the development of a plan more of a challenge. These include, but are not limited to:
Identification of a plan that would cover a large region and a diverse population of approximately one million people
Identification of a plan that could be coordinated from one facility, but interact successfully with 6 different counties and two different state governments
The presence of a regional airport which increases the opportunity for introducing an infectious disease to the region
From the conversation, you realize that a coalition will be needed and that macro leadership skills are required for the coalition to be successful. You now accept the challenge to build a coalition within the region to develop a plan that would resist a sudden outbreak of an infectious illness.

Describe an area in your own life that you believe requires certain virtues in order to do well.
D-1 5. Describe an area in your own life that you believe requires certain virtues in order to do well. This might be an occupation, an activity or hobby, a role you play (mother, friend, husband, mentor, etc.), and so on. Explain what this is, and what the “telos” of this kind of thing is; in other words, what is the purpose of this area of life, and would it mean to flourish and do well in it? Are there things people pursue in this area that are not part of the true telos? Finally, what are the virtues that one must have in order to flourish and do well in this area of life? What are some vices that get in the way? Your answers to these questions should include evidence from this week’s readings and media.
The role I play is as a care giver, I play this role as a mother, daughter and a nurse. Courage, patience, and honesty are certain virtues that are needed to fill this role that I play. Aristotle said that courage is “The man, then, who faces and who fears the right things and from the right motive, in the right way and at the right time, and who feels confidence under the corresponding conditions is brave.” (Day, Lisa 2007). This means that a brave or courageous person is someone who can show the right amount of fear and with confidence to overcome it, and respond appropriately. As a mother there is fear with raising your children. This fear may not be about some physical threat to you or your kids but of how you are raising them. Are you teaching them the proper manners, how to treat people, basically how to live a happy life or as Aristotle would say, Eudaimonia. The same goes for being a daughter, I ask myself if I am living an honest life with the courage to do what needs to be done for my family to flourish. As a nurse, and caregiver, I have to courageous enough to stand up to and for my patients. Through all of these roles I show patience and honesty as well as courage, to reach my “telos”, or the end which produces my happiness. These virtues are developed within a person and Aristotle takes for granted that human action is directed toward the good and that achievement of the good results in happiness. (Day, Lisa 2007).
These same virtues can sometimes be faults. Sometimes compassion might lead you to tell a lie to prevent hurting someone’s feelings, or courage can enable someone to do far more wicked things then they would have been able to if they were timid. Sometimes being honest, generous, courageous, and compassionate may not make you a morally good person, or morally good people may be led to act wrongly. (Hursthouse and Pettigrove 2016). Aristotle believes that the good of a human beign nust have something to do with being human; and what sets human beings from other species, giving us the potential to live better life, is our capacity to guide ourselves by using reason. (Kraut, 2017).

Aristotle claims that if you are suffering terrible misfortune, you cannot truly be considered happy or flourishing. However, there are many examples from current and past history, religious traditions, and fiction of people that might seem to contradict this claim (for example, in the Beatitudes (Matt. 5:3-12, Luke 6:20-23) Jesus describes people that seem to be suffering in various ways and calls them “blessed”; some translations say “happy”). Leaving aside any religious assumptions and considering this from a strictly philosophical perspective, do you think that it’s possible for people to be happy or flourishing even if they are suffering terrible misfortune? Provide at least one example to illustrate your answer, and refer to the readings and media to support your view.
I absolutely think that it is possible for people to be happy and/or flourish even though they are suffering great misfortune. I speak from experience. On August 4th, 2017, I got news that no child wants to hear about a parent, “Baby, Daddy has cancer.” Those four words completely turned my world upside down. I wanted to give up on all of my dreams and aspirations and focus completely on the fact that my father has cancer. When I thought more about it, I realized that if I did that he would be terribly disappointed in me because I let his diagnosis consume my life. Even though I am devastated, I have turned that heartbreak into my driving force to live my life to its fullest. I have found so much happiness the last two weeks that I didn’t even know existed. I have put my best efforts into my school work and continue to flourish in that aspect. Never in a million years did I expect that such a devastating blow could turn into something so beautiful.

5. Describe an area in your own life that you believe requires certain virtues in order to do well. This might be an occupation, an activity or hobby, a role you play (mother, friend, husband, mentor, etc.), and so on. Explain what this is, and what the telos of this kind of thing is; in other words, what is the purpose of this area of life, and would it mean to flourish and do well in it? Are there things people pursue in this area that are not part of the true telos? Finally, what are the virtues that one must have in order to flourish and do well in this area of life? What are some vices that get in the way? Your answers to these questions should include evidence from this week’s readings and media.
An area in my life I believe requires certain virtues in order to do well in would be being a wife. Being a wife is sharing your life with another person. The purpose of being a wife is having somebody to share everything with, being with a person and developing a special bond with that person. The idea is to flourish with your partner and build a certain trust that will keep the relationship good. Some things people might pursue while being a wife is expanding their family to help develop the relationship they have as a wife like having kids. Some of the virtues that one must have in order to flourish and do well in being a wife is being understanding. Wife’s at times need to be open minded to their partners. Becoming partners means to be equals in the relationship and with out being open to compromising could end the relationship. Some vices that could get in the way could be lack of communication, insecurities, not trusting your partner, not being opened to new things, and not being able to treat your partner as an equal (like always having to be right or take over everything)

dentify two or three psychological theories and principles that help to explain the reasons for the problem and point toward potential solutions for it.
Please follow specific guidelines-this is a VERY difficult instructor- do not offer if not able to create original ON TOPIC work- see below for case study chosen:
Preparation
Return to the case study that you considered in Assessments 1 and 2.
Identify two or three psychological theories and principles that help to explain the reasons for the problem and point toward potential solutions for it.
Use the Capella University Library to locate at least three scholarly research studies in an area of psychology relevant to the problem. If you have had the opportunity to conduct or assist formal research in an academic or professional context, you may be able use the study in this assessment. However, if you wish to do so, e-mail a copy of the study to your instructor and ask for confirmation that it is appropriate for the assessment.
Instructions
Complete the following:
Create a title page: Write a brief title that concisely conveys the purpose of this report. It is suggested that you use the APA Paper Template, linked in the Resources under the Suggested Resources heading, to format your paper to format your work according to the APA manual (sixth edition).
Write an introduction: For the introduction section of your paper, include the title at the top of the first page and begin your introduction two spaces beneath your title. (In APA format, the word Introduction is not used as a heading.) Briefly summarize:
The case you have chosen.
A high-level summary of ethical and cultural issues that you identified in the case.
How theories and research, in general terms, help explain the problems in the case and point toward solutions.
How the case relates to a larger societal problem or problems.
Create a heading titled Case Issues: Review the case issues, including the ethical and cultural issues, in more detail.
Create a heading titled Theoretical Framework: Analyze how two or three psychological theories help explain the problem and point toward potential solutions. In doing so, cite relevant principles or concepts derived from these theories. For example:
Let us say that we are assisting an adolescent from Germany who has moved to United States, and is having a rough time adjusting to her new high school. In addition to information gathered from her, her parents, and the school, we could consider Erikson’s psychosocial theory and the stage of identity and role confusion in which adolescents search to establish their own values, beliefs, and goals. During this important time of identity development, the teen has been immersed in an entirely different culture with values and beliefs different from the one with which she knows. We could consider to what extent she was mastering the stage prior to and then after the move. Based on sociocultural theory, we would enquire about the differences in culture that may be impinging on her success in interacting in her new environment. By integrating the two theories, we can get a better understanding of how her developmental stage is clashing with her sociocultural context. We might search for research on adolescent development and cross-cultural experiences to get a better understanding of what research demonstrates is effective in assisting teenagers in this position.
Create a heading titled Related Research: Summarize at least three research studies that pertain to the problem. A summary will provide your reader with a clear understanding of the purpose of the study, the methods, and the findings.
Describe the research designs and methods used in the studies.
Use principles of critical thinking to evaluate the quality of the research and analyze the relevance to the problem.
Evaluate how the research methods employed support the studies’ findings.
Analyze how the studies’ findings explain reasons for the problem and point toward potential solutions.
Analyze how the studies’ findings relate to the psychological theories you previously cited.
Compare findings of the studies and assess how they support or contradict each other.
See if any contradiction is apparent. If so, try to explain why the contradiction may have developed and which position is more credible and why.
Create a heading titled Action Plan: Based on your theoretical and research findings as well ethical and cultural considerations, provide an action plan with recommendations for how to resolve the problem you researched in a fair and just manner.
Make clear how the objectives of your plan are specific, measurable, achievable, and relevant to the problem, and the timeline for implementation should be.
Integrate information from your sources to support your recommendations.
Create a heading titled Conclusion: Briefly summarize the importance of the problem, how psychological theories, principles, and research may point to ways improve the problem, and the implications for a larger societal problem or problems.
Keep in mind throughout this assessment that while your writing must conform to APA standards, you must explain all information in a manner that can be easily understood by a nonacademic or nonscientific audience.
Additional Requirements
Your assessment should meet the following requirements:
Written communication: Written communication is well organized and free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA style: Comply with current APA style and formatting.
Number of resources: A minimum of three academic resources.
Length: 6–8 typed, double-spaced pages, excluding cover page and references.
Font and font size: Times New Roman, 12 point.
here is the case study:
Maria, a 70-year-old Hispanic woman, lives with her daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter in a spacious home on the lake. She enjoys reading on the patio, walking along the river’s edge, and taking her granddaughter to the park. She is fluent in Spanish, yet understands and speaks a little English.
Angel, Maria’s daughter, has noticed some behavioral changes in her mom that are troublesome. Her mom fell while walking to the car before they left for the restaurant and she had fallen the week before when walking into living room. Sara, Maria’s granddaughter, told her mom that she had to hold Grandma’s hand and bring her home from the park because she forgot how to get home.
Angel called the doctor and scheduled an appointment for her mom. Once Maria learned her daughter was planning to take her to the doctor Friday, she was very upset because she hadn’t been consulted first. Also, Maria didn’t have any bothersome symptoms and decided there was no reason a doctor needed to see her. All she needed was more sleep.
Maria and Angel arrived at the doctor’s office early Friday morning. The nurse brought them back to the examination room upon arrival as they were the first appointment of the day. Displeased, Maria allowed the nurse to take her weight, pulse, and blood pressure. Once the nurse was finished, she left the room and the doctor came in. While asking Maria some questions, the doctor spoke slowly and loudly as if she couldn’t hear. After the doctor learned that Maria’s understanding and speaking of English was minimal, he talked to Angel the entire time and then ordered additional tests without Maria’s consent. Maria was furious and wanted to go home.
Consider the individual, family, cultural beliefs and expectations, and ethical issues the individuals must think about as they interact with each other.
