Retirement
Retirement in the Unites States today forms a normal part of the life cycle. Most people will spend some time in retirement. Atchley and Barusch (2003) describe retirement as a series of stages. This five-stage model takes a life-course perspective on retirement. It shows the interplay between a person’s past, his or her current life, and external events.
The population of older adults in the United States has grown more than ten times in size from 1900 to 2003, from 3.1 million to 36 million people. Projections show that this population will more than double from the year 2000 to 2050, increasing from 35 million to 86.7 million (Novak, 2009).
Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on retirement specifically in the context of United States. Based on your research and understanding, respond to the following:
Explain the five stages of retirement. Which stage do you think is most important? Why?
Describe the factors that a person has to consider when contemplating retirement.
Describe different factors that can have an impact on retirement.
Explore your own retirement plan. Describe where you are on the planning process. What is the stage of retirement that you current are at?
Explain the factors that you would consider while planning your retirement.
Describe how increasing numbers of retirees will affect retirement patterns.
Compare retirement conditions in the United States to another country of your choice.
Explain the techniques that other countries are planning for the new retirees’ influx.

Assess the three families using the “Heritage Assessment Tool.” In 1,000-1,500 words discuss the usefulness of applying a heritage assessment to evaluate the needs of families and develop plans for health maintenance, health protection, and health restoration. Include the following:
Perform a heritage assessment on three families. One of these families should be from your own culture. See questionna of three family’s attached.
use this information. To compare evaluate and discuss.

Organizational Chart Assessment
Think about a particular healthcare organization. How would you depict the reporting structure in this organization? What is the flow of communication and decision making between various people? Does the image in your mind match with one (or more) of the organizational structures discussed in this week’s Learning Resources? Why or why not? For anyone working in a health care setting, looking at the organizational chart can provide useful information about the context that affects daily practice as well as the achievement of longer term goals. For managers, understanding the structure and dynamics portrayed in such a chart—as well as those that may be missing—is especially important. For this Discussion, you analyze an organizational chart from the point of view of nursing management.
To prepare: •Obtain a copy of an organizational chart which does not have a shared governance model. •Obtain a copy of an organizational chart from a magnet hospital. You can find a list of current magnet-recognized hospitals at http://www.nursecredentialing.org/Magnet/FindaMagnetFacility •Examine both organizational charts through the lens of management (i.e., think about the responsibilities and concerns that you, as a manager, may have). •Review Marquis and Huston (2015) page 279, Display 12.5 The 14 Forces of Magnetism for Magnet Hospital Status and Learning Exercise 12.4 •Think about how the organizational charts align? •Think about how communication actually occurs at your organization.
Post and Compare and contrast the organizational chart you identified to the shared governance model on Marquis and Huston (2015, p. 277). Consider major components of organizational structure and communication such as centrality and decentralization. Describe at least five of the “forces of magnetism” and compare how the magnet and non-magnet organizations meet them or need improvement in these areas (Marquis & Huston, 2015, p. 279, Display 12.5).

Provide a synopsis of how you would proceed in locating evidence, including research literature you would consult, which professional organization standards may be relevant, and with whom you would communicate or network to ascertain community standards.

Think about a problem in a specific unit or area of your organization or one with which you are familiar. What are the indications that there is a problem? What change may be needed? (Note: This problem should be different from the one you are addressing in the Week 2 Assignment.). A clinical problem works well; an example is that you note an increasing number of patients with deep vein thrombosis following orthopedic surgery.
Consider how you could locate evidence to examine the needed change. What literature would you review? Which professional organization standards or recommendations may be relevant? With whom would you communicate/network to ascertain community standards? Bear in mind that you may also look at evidence from fields other than nursing.
Review the information in the Learning Resources. Using your knowledge of contemporary theories of chaos and complexity, consider how you could adapt Lewin’s classic model for change and apply this to your selected problem.
By Day 3
Post a description of the problem, including relevant indicator(s). Provide a synopsis of how you would proceed in locating evidence, including research literature you would consult, which professional organization standards may be relevant, and with whom you would communicate or network to ascertain community standards. Then, identify how you would adapt Lewin’s classic model of change based on chaos and complexity theory to address this evidence–based change.
