Understanding of systems theory and complexity science

In what ways could an understanding of systems theory and complexity science impact the role of the NP?

Take a few minutes to reflect on the NP practice model that is most predominant in advanced practice environments you have observed. Are you satisfied with the demonstrated level of interprofessional collaboration?

Briefly consider what appears to be the driving practice model for advanced practice nursing in the state of Nebraska. If your state lags behind in its practice model language, what might you do to facilitate change?

Medical Treatment for severe bruising

Susan works as a Home Care Services Team Member at Lotus Care.  Harry hurt his arm and received medical treatment for severe bruising. During one visit, Harry fell and Maria had to help him back into his chair.
Her client Harry is an 83-year-old gentleman. He is in good health, but just lately has been unsteady on his feet. He is determined to look after himself and insists he can go to the bathroom on his own.
Susan conducted a risk assessment and decided Harry must use a mobility aid around the house. She updated his Care Plan accordingly.
Whilst Susan was on leave, Maria took over Harry’s care. Harry advised Maria that he didn’t want to use the walker as he was perfectly capable of looking after himself. Maria wanted to make sure Harry was involved in deciding about his own care and allowed Harry to walk unaided to the bathroom.

Paraphrasing and Citing Sources using APA style (7th edition)

Instructions: The American Psychological Association (APA) uses a particular style to cite sources. This is different from the style of the Modern Language Association (MLA). Many social science courses will use the APA style for writing papers and citing sources. Complete the following activities to practice your paraphrasing and citation skills. Compare your answers with those of your classmates.

Activity 1: Paraphrasing One Sentence

  1. Read the following published sentence and then paraphrase it—that is, rewrite it in your own words. You do not need to repeat every element. Instead, try changing the focus of the sentence while preserving the meaning of the original.
  2. Write an APA Style reference list entry for the published work using the source information provided. Look up the document type here (Links to an external site.)
  3.  or in Chapter 10 of the Publication Manual and follow the appropriate reference example.
  4. Figure out the in-text citation that corresponds to the reference list entry. Then add a parenthetical citation to your paraphrased sentence. Use the standard citation formats shown in Table 8.1 of the Publication Manual. Go here to learn more about parenthetical and narrative in-text citations (Links to an external site.)
  5. .

Published Sentence:

Leaders who lack emotional and social competence undoubtedly can become a liability to organizations, directly leading to employee disengagement, absenteeism, stress-disability claims, hostile-workplace lawsuits, and increased healthcare expenses.

Published Sentences:

Research suggests that people exercise less when demands in their job or studies increase (Englert & Rummel, 2016; Oaten & Cheng, 2005; Sonnentag & Jelden, 2009). Building upon these findings, the present study investigated the relationship between university students’ implicit theories about willpower and the amount they exercise during their final examination period. We hypothesized and found that students with a limited theory about willpower— those who believed that their self-control resembles a limited resource—exercised significantly less than students with a nonlimited theory during this stressful period (about 220 min less over the course of 2 weeks).

By Sunday at 11:59 pm:

Compare your answers to those posted by the instructor and by your classmates. In a reply to your original post answer the following questions:

  1. Did you paraphrase effectively? Or did you patch write (change only a few words, substitute synonyms on a one-to-one basis) rather than paraphrase (restate in your own words, reframe ideas for your paper context)?
  2. How are your sentences different from the sentences from your instructor? From those of your classmates or colleagues? How are they the same?
  3. What other ways are there to paraphrase? How could you emphasize different ideas?
  4. Look over your reference and parenthetical citation. Make note of any errors.
