Describe the Square of Opposition
What is categorical logic?
What is the purpose of the Square of Opposition?
Identify key features of the Square of Opposition.
Explain how the Square of Opposition is used to translate statements into standard-form claims and corresponding standard-form claims including description of the relationships that are depicted within the square.
Identify the components of the A, E, I and O standard-form claims (or propositions).
Using the diagram in your text as a guide, create one original example using an ordinary statement and translating it into standard-form claims (A, E, I and O statements) using the Square of Opposition. Identify the translation and claims in your example using the corresponding letter.
For each corresponding standard-form claim, explain how you identified the translation and corresponding claims and their relationship to one another based on the relationships depicted on the square.

: Quality Healthcare: Measuring NP Performance

Requirements: 
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) was formed to ensure quality of patient care and measurement of patient outcomes with set standards.
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) is a performance measurement tool used by millions of health insurance plans. There are 6 domains of care:
Effectiveness of Care.
Access/Availability of Care.
Experience of Care.
Utilization and Risk Adjusted Utilization.
Health Plan Descriptive Information.
Measures Collected Using Electronic Clinical Data Systems
You may access the 6 domains of care by clicking this link:
(NCQA, n.d. https://www.ncqa.org/hedis/
(Links to an external site.)
)
As an APN, productivity will be an important measurement for the practice to determine reimbursement and salary. Fee-for-service practices will require a set number of patients per day to maintain productivity. A capitated practice will require the APN to have a large panel of patients but also will focus on controlling costs. This can be accomplished through effective primary care that is accessible, convenient for the patients and has a method of measuring quality of care.
Write a formal paper in APA format with title page, introduction, the three required elements below, conclusion and reference page.
You are now employed as an FNP in primary care. Choose one performance measure from one of the six domains of care, i.e. Adult BMI Assessment, Prenatal and Postpartum care, etc.
Develop three different patient interventions for that one performance measure and how you would specifically implement the intervention and measure the outcomes for that particular performance measure in clinical practice.
How would these primary care interventions result in improved patient outcomes and cost savings for the practice?
How can these interventions result in improved NP patient ratings?

Identifying Truth or Fiction

https://www.americanscientist.org/blog/from-the-staff/stop-using-the-word-pseudoscience

1. Examine some key reasons why people might seem attracted to pseudoscience-type
    claims.
2. Describe at least two (2) such claims that you have heard people make and analyze
    the main reasons why such claims do or do not meet rigorous scientific methodology
    standards.
3. Determine at least two (2) ways in which the material discussed this week has
    changed your own thinking.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Step 1:  Read and Initial Post

Instructions: Select one scenario from the 3 choices below, answer the assigned questions and post an initial response on the discussion board. You must cite at least 2 resources (one can be your textbook and the other must be an Internet site or article).

When posting your initial post in Canvas, the heading should look like this:

Initial Post Scenario Selection #

Your initial posting is due by the initial post deadline (see calendar)

Scenario #1:

What is the organizational structure for your hospital facility? How does the role of a nurse manager fit into this organizational structure? What are the barriers, positive and negative within this organizational structure?

Scenario #2:

Compare and contrast the role of manager and leader. Give examples of both a manager and leader in your student nursing career. Please cite resources used to formulate your thoughts and opinions on this topic.

Scenario #3:

A nurse working on a busy PCU goes into a patients room to complete a quick focused patient assessment. The patient refuses care from this nurse and the nurse reports to the charge nurse that the patient stated “I don’t want you to care for me!” You don’t understand my lifestyle or my culture!” This nurse asks you, the charge nurse, what to do. As the charge nurse what leadership principles would best be utilized to deal with this patient situation?

Discussion: Atomic Structure

Option 1:
Your initial post in the discussion this week consists of two parts. First, choose a molecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss the importance of this molecule. Be sure to include at least one outside source and make sure to follow APA citation guidelines.

In the second part of your initial post, we will be practicing naming ionic and covalent compounds as well as polyatomic ions. To begin, give the chemical formula for each of the following: A covalent compound containing no more than two types of elements, an ionic compound no more than two types of elements, and an ionic compound containing a polyatomic. Be sure that these compounds are valid (for example, the charges balance out in the ionic compound) and that the subscripts do not exceed 10.

Option 2:
Your initial post in the discussion this week consists of two parts. First, choose a molecule used in healthcare, industry, or found in a natural source and discuss the importance of this molecule. Be sure to include at least one outside source and make sure to follow APA citation guidelines.

The electron configuration of an atom determines the number of electrons available to participate in bonding with another atom. One method of depicting the valence electrons that an atom has is through the Lewis structure. For the second part of your initial post, pick an element from the periodic table of elements. Identify the valence electrons and the orbitals in which they reside.

APA format for in-text citations and list of references.

(Word count: 700 – 800 words, excluding reference list).

2. Structure and Referencing (10 marks): Marks will be allocated for correct grammar and clear and
logical writing. Word limits are strictly enforced. Contents exceed the word limits will not be marked.

Design Thinking

Solve the following questions straight forward (question-answer, no intro needed)

Look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyM6rx69iqg and answer the following question:
1. Watch Tina Seelig’s TEDTalk about unlocking creativity. What do you think about her innovation engine? Pick one of its parts and share what do you think is important.

2. “If I had an hour to solve a problem I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and five minutes thinking about solutions.”

Do you connect this quote to Design Thinking? Would you do the same based on the experience you’re having in this elective?
