ART CLASS  UNIT VI Photo Collage and Analysis This assignment measures your mastery of ULOs 1.1, 1.5, 2.1, 2.3, and 3.4.   Assignment objective: Your goal in this assignment is to create a photo collage and discuss the new meaning created by the collage.  Details: The photo collage may be created by hand (cut out pictures and glued together in one image) or created digitally, using PowerPoint or any application that you are comfortable using. For inspiration for your collage, please review the Unit V lesson, Unit V Discussion Board, and look at the Unit VI required reading in your textbook. Please incorporate at least three photographs into one collage. Take a photograph or save the digital work as a JPEG and upload it in the space below. Select three photographs that have distinct themes, subjects, or moods. Cut out elements from each photograph and combine them to create a new, cohesive image. Be creative with how you arrange the elements to form a new narrative or visual statement. Requirements: Use actual photographs only. Since this is our photography unit, your collage must be created from photographs (not illustrations, clipart, AI-generated images, or digitally rendered graphics). This assignment focuses on photographic images as discussed in our course materials. All layers must be visible in your final collage. Your work should clearly show the cut-and-paste or layered construction process; do not use blending, smoothing, or AI generation tools that hide the individual components. We should be able to see where one image ends and another begins. If you source photographs from the internet, you must provide complete references (including URLs) for each photograph used. Include these references at the end of your written analysis. Do not use AI image generation or AI blending tools to create your collage. This assignment requires you to design the collage by manually selecting, cutting, and layering photographs yourself. For the analysis, write a short paragraph (approximately 200 words) discussing the new meaning created by the collage. Consider the following points in your analysis: Original Context: Briefly describe the original context and meaning of each photograph before they were combined. New Interpretation: Explain how the new collage changes the meaning of the original photographs. Emotional and Conceptual Impact: Discuss any new emotions, concepts, or narratives that emerge from the combination of the two images. Visual Elements: Mention any notable visual elements (such as color, line, space, time) and design principles (such as unity, variety, balance) that contribute to the new meaning.  This assignment encourages creativity, critical thinking, and an appreciation of how art can transform and reinterpret visual elements to convey new meanings.  The original, unaltered images used to create your collage must also be included with your submission.  Example  Collage Description: Photograph 1: A serene landscape with a calm river and lush greenery. Photograph 2: A bustling city street with tall buildings and crowds of people.   Collage Creation:   The river from the landscape photo flows into the city street, blending natural and urban elements.   Paragraph Analysis:   “The original photograph of the peaceful landscape conveys calm tranquility and the beauty of nature, while the city street photo captures the energy and bustle of urban life. By combining the two, the new collage creates variety that highlights the contrast between the natural world and human development. The river flowing through the city street introduces a sense of peace amidst the chaos, suggesting harmony between nature and urbanization. This collage alters the individual meanings of the original photos and also invites viewers to reflect on the relationship between nature and modern cities.”   Image References:   Landscape photograph: [Photographer name]. (Year). [Title]. [URL] City street photograph: [Photographer name]. (Year). [Title]. [URL]       UNIT VII JOURNAL For this journal assignment, you will analyze graphic design examples from your daily life.   Documentation Required:   Take one photograph that shows you with three different examples of graphic design from your home, pantry, or local environment. Your examples should demonstrate multiple aspects of graphic design (typography, color, layout, imagery, symbols/logos working together). Examples include product packaging, advertisements, flyers, or menus. Avoid minimally designed items with only a simple logo or single design element.   Compare and analyze your three examples. Explain which design is most effective and why, using specific observations and vocabulary from the textbook. Discuss how each design is persuasive and visually captivating by pointing out specific visual information such as color, type, design, layout, etc., and describing how those components have been used. You can also identify unsuccessful designs and describe the ineffective qualities. You may refer to the Unit VII Lesson as an example of the level of detail your descriptions should include.   Your journal entry must be at least 450 words in length. Be sure to incorporate language, concepts, and vocabulary from the textbook in your response. At least one source must come from the CSU Online Library. The Art Appreciation LibGuide and the Developing Keywords for Library Searches tutorials are available to help you locate and select your required library source. All sources used must have citations and resources formatted in proper APA Style.         HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT CLASS   UNIT V1 POWERPOINT PRESENTATION   This 10-slide PowerPoint presentation measures your mastery of ULOs 1.6, 1.7, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, and 3.2.   In this assignment, you will research and present a leadership style of your choice and discuss how it influences team effectiveness within a health care setting in a recorded PowerPoint presentation.

Assessment 4 Instructions: Remote Collaboration and Evidence-Based Care ·        Create a 5-10 minute video of yourself, as a presenter, in which you will propose an evidence-based plan to improve the outcomes for the Vila Health patient and examine how remote collaboration provided benefits or challenges to designing and delivering the care. Introduction As technologies and the health care industry continue to evolve, remote care, diagnosis, and collaboration are becoming increasingly more regular methods by which nurses are expected to work. Learning the ways in which evidence-based models and care can help remote work produce better outcomes will become critical for success. Additionally, understanding how to leverage EBP principles in collaboration will be important in the success of institutions delivering quality, safe, and cost-effective care. It could also lead to better job satisfaction for those engaging in remote collaboration. Professional Context Remote care and diagnosis is a continuing and increasingly important method for nurses to help deliver care to patients to promote safety and enhance health outcomes. Understanding best EBPs and building competence in delivering nursing care to remote patients is a key competency for all nurses. Additionally, in some scenarios, while you may be delivering care in person you may be collaborating with a physician or other team members who are remote. Understanding the benefits and challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration is vital to developing effective communication strategies when coordinating care. So, being proficient at communicating and working with remote health care team members is also critical to delivering quality, evidence-base care. Scenario The Vila Health: Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care simulation provide the context for this assessment. Instructions Before beginning this assessment, make sure you have worked through the following media: ·        Vila Health: Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care. You may wish to review Selecting a model for evidence-based practice changes. [PDF] and Evidence-Based Practice Models, which help explain the various evidence-based nursing models. For this assessment, you are a presenter! You will create a 5-10-minute video using Kaltura or similar software. In the video: ·        Propose your evidence-based care plan that you believe will improve the safety and outcomes of the patient in the Vila Health Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Based Care media scenario. Add your thoughts on what more could be done for the client and what more information may have been needed. ·        Discuss the ways in which an EBP model and relevant evidence helped you to develop and make decisions about the plan you proposed ·        Wrap up your video by identifying the benefits of the remote collaboration in the scenario, as well as discuss strategies you found in the literature or best practices that could help mitigate or overcome one or more of the collaboration challenges you observed in the scenario. Be sure you mention any articles, authors, and other relevant sources of evidence that helped inform your video. Discuss why these sources of evidence are credible and relevant. Important: You are required to submit an APA-formatted reference list of the sources you cited specifically in your video or used to inform your presentation. You are required to submit a narrative of all your video content to this assessment and to SafeAssign. The following media is an example learner submission in which the speaker successfully addresses all competencies in the assessment. ·        Exemplar Kaltura Reflection. o   Please note that the scenario that the speaker discusses in the exemplar is different from the Vila Health scenario you should be addressing in your video. So, the type of communication expected is being model, but the details related to the scenario in your submission will be different. Make sure that your video addresses the following grading criteria: ·        Propose your own evidence-based care plan to improve the safety and outcomes for a patient based on the Vila Health Remote Collaboration on Evidence-Care media scenario. ·        Explain the ways in which you used an EBP model to help develop your plan of care for the client. ·        Reflect on which evidence you found in your search that was most relevant and useful when making decisions regarding your care plan. ·        Identify benefits and strategies to mitigate the challenges of interdisciplinary collaboration to plan care within the context of a remote team. ·        Communicate in a professional manner that is easily audible and uses proper grammar, including a reference list formatted in current APA style.

Assessment 3 Instructions: PICO(T) Questions and an Evidence-Based Approach ·        Create a 3-5 page submission in which you develop a PICO(T) question for a specific care issue and evaluate the evidence you locate, which could help to answer the question. Introduction PICO(T) is an acronym that helps researchers and practitioners define aspects of a potential study or investigation. It stands for: ·        P – Patient/population/problem. ·        I – Intervention. ·        C – Comparison (of potential interventions, typically). ·        O – Outcome(s). ·        T – Time frame (if time frame is relevant). The end goal of applying PICO(T) is to develop a question that can help guide the search for evidence (Boswell & Cannon, 2015). From this perspective, a PICO(T) question can be a valuable starting point for nurses who are starting to apply an evidence-based model or EBPs. By taking the time to precisely define the areas in which the nurse will be looking for evidence, searches become more efficient and effective. Essentially, by precisely defining the types of evidence within specific areas, the nurse will be more likely to discover relevant and useful evidence during their search. When applying the PICO(T) approach, the nurse can isolate the interventions of interest and compare to other existing interventions for the evidenced impact on the outcome of the concern. You are encouraged to complete the Vila Health PICO(T) Process activity before you develop the plan proposal. This activity offers an opportunity to practice working through creating a PICO(T) question within the context of an issue at a Vila Health facility. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 3 successfully. This is for your own practice and self-assessment and demonstrates your engagement in the course. Reference Boswell, C., & Cannon, S. (2015). Introduction to nursing research. Jones & Bartlett Learning. Professional Context As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted. PICO(T) is a framework that can help you structure your definition of the issue, potential approach that you are going to use, and your predictions related to the issue. Word choice is important in the PICO(T) process because different word choices for similar concepts will lead you toward different existing evidence and research studies that would help inform the development of your initial question. When writing a PICO(T)-formatted research question, you want to focus on the impact of the intervention and the comparison on the outcome you desire. Scenario For this assessment, please use a health care issue of interest from your current or past nursing practice. If you do not have an issue of interest from your personal nursing practice, then review the optional Case Studies presented in the resources and select one of those as the basis for your assessment. Instructions For this assessment, select a health care issue of interest and apply the PICO(T) process to develop the research question and research it. Your initial goal is to define the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome. In some cases, a time frame is relevant and you should include that as well, when writing a question you can research related to your issue of interest. After you define your question, research it, and organize your initial findings, select the two sources of evidence that seem the most relevant to your question and analyze them in more depth. Specifically, interpret each source’s specific findings and best practices related to your issues, as well explain how the evidence would help you plan and make decisions related to your question. If you need some structure to organize your initial thoughts and research, the PICOT Question and Research Template document (accessible from the “Create PICO(T) Questions” page in the Capella library’s Evidence Based Practice guide) might be helpful. In your submission, make sure you address the following grading criteria: ·        Define a practice issue to be explored via a PICO(T) approach. Create a PICO(T)-formatted research question ·        Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question (databases, journals, websites, etc.). ·        Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence as it relates to the identified health care issue. ·        Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question. ·        Communicate using writing that is clear, logical, and professional with correct grammar and spelling using the current APA style. Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like: ·        Assessment 3 Example [PDF]. Additional Requirements Your assessment should meet the following requirements: ·        Length of submission: Create a 3-5-page submission focused on defining a research question and interpreting evidence relevant to answering it. ·        Number of references: Cite a minimum of four sources of scholarly or professional evidence that support your findings and considerations. Resources should be no more than 5 years old. ·        APA formatting: Format references and citations according to the current APA style.

Competencies Measured By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the course competencies through the following assessment scoring guide criteria: ·        Competency 1: Interpret findings from scholarly quantitative, qualitative, and outcomes research articles and studies. o   Explain the findings from articles or other sources of evidence that are relevant to the health care issue. ·        Competency 2: Analyze the relevance and potential effectiveness of evidence when making a decision. o   Identify sources of evidence that could be potentially effective in answering a PICO(T) question. o   Explain the relevance of the findings from chosen sources of evidence to making decision related to a PICO(T) question. ·        Competency 3: Apply an

Assessment 1 Instructions: Locating Credible Databases and Research ·        Create a 2-4 page resource that will describe databases that are relevant to EBP around a diagnosis you chose and could be used to help a new hire nurse better engage in EBP. Introduction Evidence-based practice (EBP) integrates the best evidence available to guide optimal nursing care, with a goal to enhance safety and quality. EBP is crucial to nursing practice because it incorporates the best evidence from current literature, along with the expertise of the practicing nurse. The concern for quality care that flows from EBP generates a desired outcome. Without these factors, a nurse cannot be an effective leader. It is important to lead not only from this position but from knowledge and expertise. To gain the knowledge, you require a good understanding of how to search for scholarly resources, as well as identify which databases and websites are credible for the purposes of implementing evidence-based changes in practice. Your Online e-Portfolio Creating an ePortfolio is not required in the BSN program, but you may find it helpful to create one to attach to your professional resume while job hunting. Online ePortfolios serve two key purposes: 1) to support learning and reflection, and 2) to be used as a showcase tool. Your learning journey can be documented, and ePortfolios contribute to lifelong learning and growth through reflection and sharing. Online ePortfolios can also be shared with employers and peers to present artifacts that demonstrate your accomplishments at Capella. Professional Context As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for providing patient-centered, competent care based on current evidence-based best practices. You will be required to do research, analysis, and dissemination of best evidence to stay abreast of these best practices. Understanding where to go to find credible sources and locate evidence, as well as which search terms to use, is the foundation of incorporation of best practices. Scenario You are supervising three nurses working on the medical-surgical floor of a local teaching hospital. This hospital is nationally recognized as a leader in education and has a computer lab with an online library where staff has access to medical research databases (that is, CINAHL, PubMed, Medline, and Cochrane library) and online sources of all hospital policies, procedures, and guidelines, and computers at nurse workstations that also have access to these resources. (For this scenario, use the Capella University Library to simulate the hospital’s online library.) You have given the nurses their patient assignments and you have all participated in shift report. A new nurse who just completed orientation and training a week ago approaches you and tells you that one of the assigned patients has a diagnosis he or she is very unfamiliar with. Knowing that patient-centered care based on best practices is imperative to positive patient outcomes, you want to assist this nurse to find research that can be utilized to provide the best care for this patient. Describe how you would communicate with this nurse to encourage him or her to research the diagnosis. Assume you will assist in the quest to locate evidence, then describe where you would go within the facility and what resources you would look for. These resources may include websites, journals, facility policies or guidelines, or any other sources of online information. You may choose the diagnosis for the patient in this scenario or health care issue/diagnosis of your choice. Or you may choose something you would find interesting to research or that applies to a clinical problem/diagnosis you would be interested in addressing. Create a list of at least five sources that could be used to find evidence, with the best source listed first, and explain why the sources you chose are best to find evidence for the diagnosis you chose and the clinical scenario. You are only evaluating the sources of evidence (database, website, policy database or website, journal article, et cetera). You are not actually completing a search and selecting evidence. Consider the following examples: a nursing journal in CINAHL may not be the best source of evidence for information on how to administer medications through a central-venous catheter, whereas a hospital policy database found on a website may not be the best source of information on caring for a patient with a rare chromosomal abnormality. Preparation To help ensure you are prepared to complete this assessment, review the following resources related to the Capella library. These resources will provide you an overview of the types of tools, resources, and guides available in the library. This may be useful in forming a better understanding of the library to apply to the hypothetical situation laid out in the scenario of this assessment. ·        BSN Program Library Research Guide. ·        Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing & Health Sciences. ·        Databases A-Z: Nursing & Health Sciences. ·        Get Critical Search Skills. Remember, it is also appropriate to look toward databases and resources outside of the Capella library, such as organizational policies, professional organizations, and government health care resources. You are encouraged to complete the Evaluating the Credibility of Evidence activity. This activity offers an opportunity to practice evaluating the credibility of evidence. These skills will be necessary to complete Assessment 1 successfully and is for your own practice and self-assessment. Completing this activity is also a way to demonstrate course engagement. Instructions The purpose of this assessment is to understand where to find evidence that can be applied to clinical scenarios and to learn effective communication and collaboration with clinical staff during the process of evidence location. As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will not only use research for self-improvement in your clinical role, but you will also serve as a mentor to supervised nursing staff. Therefore, you will need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively to guide them toward resources to find research, as well as support them through the initial evidence location process. In doing so, nurses can gain access to evidence that can be analyzed and utilized to stay current on best
