Research Cultural Diversity in the workplace from at least 3 additional professional resources.  Write a 3-page paper (title page and reference page are not counted as part of the total) examining the positive impact it has on the workplace.  Conversely, identify any negative effects on organizations who have resisted implementation. Consider your response from the legal, liability, and ethical perspectives. 

Your paper must include: 

An introduction
Summarize the Ted Talk in your own words
Examine the importance of cultural diversity in the workplace
Cite specific research/evidence on the benefits of cultural diversity for the organization and employees
Recommend one solution (team-building exercise, training, etc.) to help an organization embrace cultural diversity. Your solution must be detailed and specific. 
A summary of your paper
Guidelines for Submission: Your paper should be a submitted as a Microsoft Word document, minimum of three pages with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and sources cited in APA 7th Edition format.

Science Documentary Review

There are free science documentaries that can be found on youtube or netflix, etc. Find a science documentary with at least 30 minute length or more. 

Write a 2 FULL page summary of the documentary, what you learned, and how it impacts your life.

Healthcare technology

In the course of study, you learned how current and emerging technologies have been transforming clinical practice, nursing administration, and nursing education. In your practice, you will search the WGU Library and the Internet for information on current and emerging technologies that have the potential to enhance nursing and/or healthcare. Create an annotated bibliography with at least five sources on this topic that you reviewed. (See Sample APA Annotation)  This can be used to educate your nursing colleagues on the impact that current and emerging technologies has on healthcare delivery.

From your review of relevant sources, and the interviews you conducted, select five technologies you believe have the potential to transform nursing and enhance health-related outcomes either directly or indirectly. Summarize the information for the five technologies you selected by completing the Technology Summary document.

For this phase, you will use descriptive statistics to analyze hypothetical survey data provided to you in the Barriers to Research Utilization in Nurses spreadsheet. Open the Barriers Data Analysis Instructions file for step-by-step instructions for this phase. Then, open the Barriers Codebook file in Excel and follow the instructions to analyze data and create the evidence for this phase.

Continuous Variable Analysis: Analyze data measures of central tendency (Mean, Median, Mode) and measures of dispersion (Standard Deviation, Minimum, Maximum, and Range) using the instructions. Create your own summary of the data using the Continuous Summary (Example) tab in the worksheet as an example of how to write your own analysis of RN and Tot_Scores. Save the Summary Yrs_RN and Summary Tot_Scores each as a screenshot.

Categorical-Nominal Variable Analysis: Analyze data with the COUNTIF Excel function using the instructions.Enter your results with a summary interpretation on the Summary_Demographics worksheet. Save the worksheet as a screenshot.

Categorical-Ordinal Variable Analysis: Analyze data using the Mode function using the instructions. Write an interpretation identifying high-scoring and low-scoring items on the survey. Save the Summary_Responses worksheet as a screenshot.

Count the Educational Level by Work Setting participants and for each Age Group by Race by using a Pivot Table by following the instructions.
Save the two Pivot Table worksheets each as a screenshot.

Policy Analysis Excercise

**********Please Provide a Paper and a Powerpoint Overview

*********Group Topic :    American Health Care Association

The purpose of the policy analysis exercise is to give you the opportunity to work with a specific health policy advocacy topic. This project will integrate the knowledge you have been learning in the course and apply it to a particular issue.

Each section of the paper should :

1. describe their interest group and the groups objectives/mission;

2. describe who the group represents (i.e., governance structure, target audience served, membership);

3. Identify one health care policy reform supported by the group; and

4.compare the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed reform.

Need case study on each topic min 300 words

Consider the following scenario: Your patient has suffered from schizophrenia for two decades and has received classic dopaminergic treatments since the onset of illness. The latest research supporting use of the glutamatergic model has not been tried on your patient, and there is an opportunity for your patient to enter clinical trials utilizing glutamate-based treatments. Your patient suffers significant executive function impairment and memory impairment. Do you recommend participation in the clinical trial? Why or why not?
