Introduction In the city center hospital case, the CEO is concerned about the risk of losing the team of qualified physicians due to the lack of leadership expertise of the unit managers. The latter, in turn, emphasizes the arrogant behavior of the doctors that causes an increased level of stress among nurse practitioners. Successful health outcomes in the medical organization can be best achieved by the coherent collaborative work of each member of the team, including healthcare providers and administration representatives. The CEO, Director of Nursing (DON), and the HR manager believe that there is a need to improve the morale of the nursing staff at the hospital. Therefore, they aim to change the entire organizational culture based on profitable and patient-centered imperatives. Organizational development (OD) intervention is the next step required for hospital employees to develop robust leadership qualities within the unit manager staffing to drive tangible improvement over the next twelve months. OD Intervention Strategy Establishing an Organization’s Identity Given that OD intervention is a well-planned system of organizational change, it is essential to set the step-by-step tactics that start with the identity of the organization and its mission. Nursing philosophy is based on mutual collaboration with patients and their families and other health team colleagues to achieve the most positive health outcomes for the patients (Hurst, 2017). Through the long-term approach, physicians are responsible for the life and safety of their patients in the same way nurses are. However, their mission is amplified by the in-depth medical science research, continuous education, and diagnosis and treatment of the patient. The leading root cause, in this case, is the question of nursing morale and moral distress among nurses, which must be addressed with the 4A’s tool designed by the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (Hurst, 2017):   * Ask: Are you and your colleagues feeling the signs of moral distress?   * Affirm: Confirm the issue and prepare to address it responsibly; decipher the scope of moral integrity.   * Assess: Define the source and severity of moral distress, its relation to physicians in the team, and be ready to act.   * Act: Design a plan for appropriate action and implement it into the nursing practice. Operational Procedures After confirming the need for OD intervention, it is crucial to conduct diagnostic activities of the organization. As a rule, the diagnostic process encompasses group and individual interviews, questionnaires and surveys, analysis of the current documentation, and observations of the existing work settings (Imroz, 2021). Such a process will allow the unit managers to gather all the relevant data that will help better understand the problem and develop the most efficient improvement strategy. The most critical task is to examine the relationships between nurses and physicians and develop new policies that regulate them.
Introduction Communicative competence is a multifaceted socio-psychological phenomenon with several components. According to tasks and complex communicative situations based on learned experience and abilities, the capability to coordinate speech practices is the principle of communicative proficiency. Communicative competence is referred to as the level of competence manifested in communicative action. Reading, dialogue, listening, and inscription are the four communication aids that make up communicative competency. Phonetic information and diction skills, receptive and dynamic verbal knowledge and abilities, and amenable and prolific grammatical knowledge and abilities are examples of language competency. The nature vs. nurture discussion aims to explain how one’s attitudes and traits are influenced by their environment, comprising their parents, peers, and community, as well as their inherent makeup and biotic influences. According to behaviorists, the most significant element in a kid’s primary language learning is the child’s surroundings. Whether a child can access rich language, healthy habit forming, and appropriate language improvement can transpire. This paper, therefore, unpacks language as a developmental mechanism by pointing to the overlapping involvement of genetic factors, learning processes, and environs as contributors to dialectal outcomes. Cognitive Development The LAD (Language acquisition device) term refers to an all
The article “Can Big Data Feed the World?” mentioned an array of technologies that can boost agricultural processes and provide the world with more food. Such technologies included data-driven planting, hyper-local weather forecasts, following food, and plant breeding through using Big Data. Data-driven planting is associated with providing farmers with detailed information on crops they plant, soil characteristics, data on territorial boundaries, and so on. Hyper-local weather forecasts use technologies to assess real-time atmospheric conditions for facilitating enhanced farming and avoid negative implications of climate fluctuations. Big Data plant breeding is a technology that modifies breeds of plants for achieving their desired traits; for example, hybrid farmers have used Big Data for improving strawberry plants through various breeding programs. The following food is another strategy that allows farmers to improve the quality of their crops; it implies tracking for illness prevention, profit increases, and waste reduction. Big Data is expected to feed the world in the future by analyzing large volumes of data associated with predicting the weather, finding appropriate regions for farming and agriculture, and eliminating possible adverse outcomes. To prevent widespread hunger, international organizations involve large corporations such as IBM in the development of technological solutions for data collection and management. Current solutions include cloud-based information systems that track weather from millions of locations each day. This means that farmers who use such solutions can make informed decisions about their next steps of effective crop management and upkeep. Apart from improving operations of farmers, Big Data is expected to reduce waste and thus increase the amount of food available for consumption Predictive weather farming has become an essential component for forecasting possible dangerous situations for crops and developing emergency strategies to address such dangers. “Can Big Data Feed the World?” mentioned that IBM, which is a large technological corporation, has entered the arena of agriculture for contributing to the generation of hyperlocal weather forecasts. Such technological solutions allow farmers to access data on the weather in their region every ten minutes for making accurate forecasts. Through predicting possible changes in weather, farmers will have opportunities to make reasonable decisions. These decisions can vary depending on the nature of crops and the processes involved in their control and management. Three different types of decisions that could be supported by predictive weather farming include the following:   * Quantities of water needed for the adequate maintenance of crops: knowing about upcoming rain or high humidity levels is likely to reduce the unnecessary watering of crops, which could subsequently reduce water waste;   * Making changes in crop varieties and sowing dates: a non-intensified strategy that
Development method As an employee, I would prefer the training and development motivational method in my place of work. The reason being that the training and development motivational method is a domain that is influencing all the other motivational methods, that is financial incentives, job flexibility among others. Training and development either in my area of specialty or in another area within the organization provide an avenue through which I would become better and more competent in what I do for the organization or gain more skills which will translate to job promotions with better pay. Through the acquisition of skills, I can manage to move from one area of specialization to another and therefore job flexibility (Deloitte Case Study). Financial incentive Financial incentives are always preferred by employees because they provide a direct motivation to them, that is, the employee(s) gets value for his/her work. However, in the absence of financial incentives, managers can also offer their employees non-financial incentives and still motivate them. In the case of Deloitte, the manager can offer employees flexible hours of work in times of recession so that the employee can either engage him/herself in a part-time job or spend more time with their families. To top it all, with the recession, Deloitte can introduce telecommuting to employees so that they would save on bus fare during times of financial hardships. This would prevent employees from moving to other organizations where they would be offered flexible hours at work. Deloitte being an international organization with a diverse workforce, employing job rotation tactics as a way of motivating employees would be excellent. This would couple well with recession times. To drive my point further home and taking an example of an employee(s) who is working as an auditor in the UK, the employee(s) can be allowed to move from the firm in the UK to a branch of Deloitte that is in a developing country as a financial advisor and where life would not be expensive as compared to the UK in times of recession. Deloitte can positively reinforce its employees through eustress by increasing their salaries when employees move up, down, or across the various careers in the organization. The organization can put more emphasis on the employees to perform better and at the same time reward them for their great efforts. Customer service During a customer service training program, employees are taught how to deal with questions and requests that a customer may have and therefore this requires dealing with different customers who have different needs. This can be closely associated with the learning theory that psychologists refer to as constructivism, where a holistic approach to dealing with different individuals varying needs, concern
The result of bidding war for top brokers The U.S households’ investments to Wall Street have increased steadily over the last few years as the country continues to recover from the financial crisis. The result is a scramble to hire the services of top brokers who are really good at their game to capture these investor dollars. The highly sort after financial advisors are the securities brokers, discount brokers and employees working for direct marketing and mutual fund groups. The bidding wars have added to the growing cynicism among investors about the practices of players in this industry. The bidding war for top brokers has made the recruitment upfront-pay packages and bounties of the top advisers to go higher than they have ever been in all history. Some firms recruit top producers and entice them with huge up-front bonuses of up-to 70 percent of a broker’s one year trailing revenue, and extra-high commissions that motivates the brokers to promote excess trading. And it seems none of the big securities companies are willing to retreat from these bidding war. Merrill Lynch (which already has 14,000 brokers) is among those making big offers. Regulators and Industry experts observe that such upfront-pay packages and bonuses can only encourage brokers to undertake transactions that aren’t to the best interests of their clients. High risk behaviors, as we learned from the 2008 financial crisis, endanger the welfare and stability of entire economy (Gordon 44). The competition to enlist top-producing brokers from other firms by offering huge bonuses, like they are rock-stars is a bad practice that doesn’t serve the best interest of investors. The more bonuses they get from commissions the more they are encouraged to churn excessive trading of customer accounts so they can gain and keep more commissions. Relationship between pay and performance for brokers Brokers earn the largest compensation from commissions made by selling stocks and other financial products. Commissions are the largest source of wages for brokers, with top traders earning six figures from commissions alone. In most cases, these commissions are rewarded in addition to upfront-payments, referral bonuses, broker fees and other benefits that they earn for their work. Unlike many other jobs, it is the selling activities of brokers that actually generate revenues for the brokerage firms. And for this reason firms provide incentives and hefty perks that encourage them to spend all their time trading. Commission based compensation policies has always been the way of doing business at Wall Street. Most brokers work almost entirely on commissions and this means that they put their interests ahead of their clients’. While commission based incentives have played an important role in generating the industry’s’ vibrant investor services, they have also undermined Wall Street’s competitiveness (Moody 98). While commissions still dominate, some big firms offer fee-based incentives. Brokers earn quarterly referral fees for referring customers to other products or brokers. Brokers are often given extra incentives to encourage them to
Introduction Patients who are anxious, depressed, or angry due to life-altering health conditions challenge receiving adequate care. This paper aims to establish effective therapeutic communication between the student nurse and their patients through the various therapeutic communication techniques for better patient care. Therefore, student nurses should be assisted in engaging with patients by cognitive and social strategies and specialized instructional knowledge on understanding patient obstacles to care. In developing the therapeutic communication, the conversation discussed later in the paper involves a 43 years old male client diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). ALL is a rare type of cancer that targets the bone marrow’s white blood cells (Senft & Jeremias, 2019). Because the condition commences with young cells and advances swiftly, the label includes the term acute. While there is no conclusive reason for abnormalities, documented risk factors include obesity, smoking, having a weakened immune system, and having previously received chemotherapy. Establishing Nurse-client Relationship In establishing an effective nurse-patient relationship, the paper explores the four phases of relationship development and how the student nurse facilitated each step for efficient nurse-client communication and satisfactory patient satisfaction and experience. Reynolds (2021) enumerates the following four phases of relationship development as essential in effective nurse-client therapeutic communication. First, the phase preceding contact is the only stage of the therapeutic nurse-client engagement in which the patient is not engaged directly. Throughout this phase, the physician organizes for the patient encounter by acquiring pertinent customer data and addressing client issues before the meeting. In ensuring that the communication was effective, I checked the patient’s past medical history to ascertain whether the condition was acquired or hereditary. Additionally, I was mindful of the possible client problems before contacting the patient. Second, the orientation phase describes the component’s objective, responsibilities, norms, and a methodology for identifying the client’s needs. As the physician attempts to build credibility with the patient, they provide the individual with background knowledge such as their name, professional position, and details about the relationship’s goal. Additionally, I provide my name and professional status to the patient. The nurse-client interaction protects each client’s integrity, freedom, and confidentiality (Reynolds, 2021). Therefore, as a nurse, I provided the client with the required information to set the framework for care. Third, the working stage is the relationship’s problem-solving phase compared to the nursing c
Modern researchers aim at improving an understanding of nursing and the role of this practice in society. Many models and theories have already been created, focusing on multiple perspectives. In 1976, Sister Callista Roy presented her Adaptation Model and explained nursing as a social service. Humans may be considered individuals or group members, introducing human adaptive systems to complete certain processes and maintain adaptation through the prism of specific modes. Roy’s model is based on four adaptive modes, namely physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence (Roy, 1999). In this paper, the analysis of the Roy Adaptation Model will be developed with respect to its background, essentials, and worldview. The incorporation of four nursing metaparadigm concepts and Carper’s ways of knowledge should help comprehend the model. The evaluation of the model on the basis of Parse’s criteria and Carper’s ways of knowledge will show the weak and strong aspects of Roy’s work. Roy Adaptation Model is one of the most commonly used models in nursing to evaluate patients, increase compliance, and improve care quality, making it efficient for registered nurses. Background Roy is an American nun and a nursing theorist, with several degrees in nursing and sociology. In the 1960s, she worked with Dorothy E. Johnson and contributed to creating a conceptual nursing model, but her interest was directed to adaptation resiliency among children (Phillips & Harris, 2018). In 1970, Roy introduced the model to apply a conceptual path to understanding human behaviors (Roy & Andrews, 1999). As soon as nurses started viewing human beings as adaptive systems, it became easier to assess behaviors and stimuli, make nursing diagnoses, set goals, or promote interventions and evaluations (Roy & Andrews, 1999). The environment always undergoes a number of significant changes, and people should be ready to recognize, accept, and develop appropriate reactions. According to Newman and Leininger (as cited in Roy & Andrews, 1999), health awareness must be grounded in personal experiences, and nursing care is determined by cultural accommodations and professional knowledge. Before Roy, no steps to combine the concepts of the environment and human adaptation abilities were made; therefore, this model is a necessary point in nursing development.

There is ample evidence suggesting that children have innate learning capabilities and biases when mastering a language.  1. Children possess native speaker intuition that allows them to devise correct grammatical forms without prior exposure to those. Each language has its grammatical principles, such as word order in a sentence, and children learning a language can deduce what it is even without grammar lessons  2. Children witness adults speaking with all sorts of mistakes and mispronunciations, but somehow learn the correct and universally understandable version of a language from these vastly different examples. It means that they somehow filter mistakes and individual speech patterns to single out what matters, suggesting the existence of built-in concepts of language  3. Even the youngest children can divide a very quickly spoken sentence in their native language into words, suggesting that the concept of the word is built-in and universally understandable  4. De Villiers’s experiment shows that children understand the implications of different grammatical forms even without lessons in grammar  5. Children’s novel utterances cannot be copied from anyone, since they do not appear in adults’ vocabulary. It means that children have the innate capacity to create new language constructs and utilize them actively  6. Temple University Experiment suggests that even the youngest children have an innate knowledge of a verb’s argument structure  7. Children acquire words in their vocabulary not based on their frequency in the adults’ use (determiners and prepositions) but based on their functionality (verbs and nouns), meaning they have a built-in understanding of how language works  8. “Whole object assumption” refers to the idea that a word designates the entire object rather than its part or property. Shared among numerous cultures, it is an example of a built-in language assumption shared by children and adults alike  9. “Mutual exclusivity principle” refers to the idea that there is only one word for any given object. It is another example of a universal built-in language assumption shared by children and adults alike 10. “Sammy’s error” refers to the children’s propensity to use grammatical constructs that are absent in their native language and, therefore, cannot be learned from it, but are correct in other languages. It suggests that children have an innate capacity for language that configures to a specific language as they develop their skills To summarize, a multitude of experiments and observations suggests that children have innate abilities and built-in concepts when it comes to studying the language.
A healthy family can be described as a family where all members are generally satisfied with the relationships they have with each other. There are many different factors that affect the relationships and the overall family climate. Sometimes even seemingly small things can have a great influence that should not be underestimated. One of the important characteristics of a healthy family is appreciation. When family members regularly show each other appreciation and support it adds greatly to a positive family atmosphere. As noted by Stinnett and DeFrain (2014), “The good feelings tend to flow back and forth among members” (p. 59). It does not mean that family members should never criticize each other, but they should do it in a constructive and positive manner. It is also important to thank other family members for small, everyday tasks they do and things they contribute to the family. In an unhealthy family, either a lack of communication or extremely and exclusively negative communication can be a serious problem. Conflict is a normal part of the family life, and it should not be avoided. However, a family also should not be in a constant state of tension. Most dysfunctional families tend to lean to one of the extremes, either always fighting or not communicating at all, because of the fear of conflict or just indifference (Stinnett & DeFrain, 2014). Some other families only discuss things out of necessity but do not have genuine conversations, which is also unhealthy and detrimental to a family climate. Communication just might be the key to help the family where the son is breaking curfew and is doing poorly in school. It is important to communicate in an open and positive manner and encourage good behavior by showing appreciation. Also, a conversation should not simply be a tool for resolving conflict, but should rather be a way for the family members to enjoy each other’s company. Reference Stinnett N., & DeFrain J. (2014).
