Modern World Literature m2A
Write a 2-page literary analysis of one of the short stories from the assigned readings for Module 02, explaining how the author used characteristics of modernist literature or dystopian elements to create the dominant theme of the short story. You should include two of the terms used in your Module 02 literary terms exercise, and highlight the unique elements utilized in either modernist or dystopian fiction from your reading this week. Consider the following:
What was the main theme of your chosen story? (This is the main idea or message of the story). Examples of theme might be man vs. technology, man vs. nature, love, death, coming of age, freedom, the hero or heroine’s quest, etc.
If you chose a dystopian story, what vision of the future did the reading reflect?
Which of the literary terms or characteristics of modernist fiction did you find in your chosen story? (See your lesson content and literary terms in Module 02 for more on these).
Focus as much as you can on how this short story exemplified the genre you have selected. You will also find it helpful to research the selected work online and in our library. You may use more than one article for your paper. Research includes at least one outside library article on the work selected.
Your paper must be written in APA format. Use the APA template from the Course Guide to complete this assignment. You should have an APA cover page; two full pages of essay text with in-text citations, quotes, and lines from the readings; and a reference page.

QSEN Competency
In 2012, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) convened a panel of experts in the field of quality and safety education and graduate-level practice and representatives of key stakeholder organizations to review the existing Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) graduate competencies and AACN’s recently revised Essentials of Master’s Education in Nursing (2011).
Their goal was to determine the competencies that graduate-prepared nurses must possess to meet contemporary care standards.
All MSN-prepared nurses should be competent in the following OSEN areas.
• Quality improvement
• Safety
• Teamwork and collaboration
• Patient-centered care
• Evidence-based practice
• Informatics
For this discussion, please choose a QSEN competency that impacts your role (nursing administration).
Please discuss the following:
:
• Describe the graduate-level QSEN competency and how this competency specifically impacts your role.
• Specifically describe how you, a graduate-prepared nurse, will address this competency compared to how an undergraduate nurse would.
Note :This is my very last Capstone class, they are looking for me to write very high quality papers…

440 Discussion 8 # 1
Module 8 Overview
Done: View
Introduction
BSN440 was designed to give students a very brief overview of the case management role in healthcare. During the course there was discussion on quality outcomes, technology, care delivery and community needs.
Patient Advocacy is another option for many professionals who want to help patients navigate the healthcare system. These individuals act on the behalf of patients and/or their families in communicating with doctors and hospitals, clarifying options for diagnostic tests or treatment choices, and assuring that patient wishes are carried out when they may not be able to do so themselves. The patient advocate can be a spokesperson for the family.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Reflect on course content and describe knowledge gained.
Discuss the role of the professional nurse in case management models.
Describe differing case management models based on acuity.
Reading & Resources

440 DISCUSSION 5 # 2
Module 5 Overview
Done: View
Introduction
Quality drives excellence. How does nursing play a role in quality outcomes? The profession does this daily by providing excellent care to patients. The quality outcomes are also heavily dependent on the nursing case management team. This is becoming more prevalent with the demands to treat patients in an outpatient setting. So that lends the question; how soon is too soon for discharge? It also creates the need for strong care teams that can manage patients aggressively in an outpatient setting. This week will challenge us to look at our organization’s quality outcomes and programs and determine if they are effective or not. We will also begin to evaluate quality from a community aspect and discuss the impact of that on patient outcomes.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this module, you will be able to:
Identify the concept of patient centered healthcare goals
Describe the role of quality programs on a community
Explain the difference between differing quality outcomes.
Reading & Resources
Review the National Committee for Quality Assurance certification criteria.

A) For “ARTifact” Report:
1. Please go to the website, e.g., of the British Museum, a link named – History of the World in 100 Objects. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/5KB52gmS1Hpsbv7DXn45QQN/a-history-of-the-world-in-100-objects-by-theme
(Note: some modules will have another museum instead, but the principle will be the same for all).
2. Choose an object (from anywhere in the world) from the period covered in this module (or about 30 years before or after the specific period covered in class in the current week), and present a report about the chosen artifact, with the explanation of the immediate context of the artifact seen in a wider historical context, in about 200 words (if over the word count that is fine need a detailed and eneging response).
Make sure that you pick 1 (one) of the 100 (one hundred) objects listed in the link – not any object that the British Museum has in its collection (which is about 8 million!). Do double-check – the list has literally 100 objects – and only about 1 or 2 will fit the bill for each module (see instructions for this assignment in the module itself).
3. Name the artifact at the top of your report, and present to the reader the artifact and its provenance, including the historical context from which it hails.
4. Your essay-style report is to contain 1 in-text references to the info from the British Museum website (make 1 reference), and at least 1 reference from the relevant information on the period and the artifact from the corresponding era found in your textbook. This textbook reference is to provide wider context or a compare/contrast moment, and cite your source (in-text and later include in the work cited section too).
5. Include the image of the chosen artifact under that.
6. Provide a Work Cited section at the end of the ARTifact Report (for all the cited information you used in the report and the source of your image. See examples for this in Originality, Citation, and Format. (Citation sources are provided)
Based on the assigned readings, class lectures, and attached article below. Please discuss and answer the following questions in your group PowerPoint presentation/slides:
1. Define and discuss four biases in healthcare.
2. Identify processes to recognize and mitigate each of the four identified biases.
3. Each group member please prepare to do a 3-5 minute presentation.
4. 5 slides excluding title page and references
You will identify and research a pressing problem in American Government about which you feel strongly, and come up with a solution. You will then write a letter to one member of the Executive or Legislative Branch who you identify as being able to implement the solution; his/her email or mailing address must be included in the letter. Your letter should explain the problem, provide evidence of the existence and scope of the problem, and propose a real solution. The letter should be approximately 1-2 pages single-spaced (12 point font with 1” margins).
Your paper must include:
• Evidence: You will identify a problem, and provide evidence of the existence and extent of the problem.
• Solution: No magic bullets! When you identify the problem, you need to come up with a real solution- how will it be implemented? What path through the federal government will it take?
• Sources: You need at least 3 sources (and more are certainly encouraged).
They should be high-quality sources- peer-reviewed journals, scholarly books, newspapers of record, reliable websites, and not Wikipedia! All of your sources must be cited via in-text citations- you may use parenthetical, footnote, or endnote format, but you must cite every piece of information you quote or paraphrase.
