Purpose:    This assignment will enable you to discover a poet's use of poetic devices. You will conduct a close reading of a poem and discuss the poet's use of these devices in his or her structuring of the form and composing of the content. Applying a close reading and composing a literary analysis will prepare you for the many texts that you will read, summarize, and discuss in your future studies and even in the workplace. Task: You will closely read (and reread) your chosen poem, considering its structural elements, patterns of figurative language, and other literary elements.  Bear in mind that, much as we discovered about ads in the advertisement analysis forum, poems are carefully and purposefully crafted--consider that every choice in terms of structure, rhyme (or lack thereof), wording, and tone are deliberate and work to leave an intentional impression on the reader.  Include the following elements:  Introductory paragraph that ends with a sentence that explains what you want to say overall about the poem. Ideally, this thesis should focus on the "how" and "why" of the effect of some of these choices. Body paragraphs that focus on specific ideas and elements from the poem that provide evidence and support for your overall idea about the poem. Include relevant, brief quotations from the poem, integrate them logically and grammatically, and indicate the line numbers in parentheses. A concluding paragraph that sums up what these ideas all add up to. Carefully read the example pages that use Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken" as an example for explication (Close Reading, Sample Analysis and Key Elements). Be sure to maintain an appropriate academic tone (no slang, second-person ["you," "we"], contractions, etc

Changes in culture and technology have resulted in patient populations that are often well informed and educated, even before consulting or considering a healthcare need delivered by a health professional. Fueled by this, health professionals are increasingly involving patients in treatment decisions. However, this often comes with challenges, as illnesses and treatments can become complex.What has your experience been with patient involvement in treatment or healthcare decisions?In this Discussion, you will share your experiences and consider the impact of patient involvement (or lack of involvement). You will also consider the use of a patient decision aid to inform best practices for patient care and healthcare decision making.To Prepare:Review the Resources and reflect on a time when you experienced a patient being brought into (or not being brought into) a decision regarding their treatment plan.Review the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute's Decision Aids Inventory at https://decisionaid.ohri.ca/Choose "For Specific Conditions," then Browse an alphabetical listing of decision aids by health topic.After you have chosen a topic (or condition) and a decision aid, consider if social determinants of health were considered in the treatment plan Social determinants of health can affect a patient's decision as these are conditions in the patient's environment, such as economic stability, education access, health care access and quality, neighborhood, and social and community context.NOTE: To ensure compliance with HIPAA rules, please DO NOT use the patient's real name or any information that might identify the patient or organization/practice.Post a brief description of the situation you experienced and explain how incorporating or not incorporating patient preferences, social determinants of health and values impacted the outcome of their treatment plan. Be specific and provide examples. Then, explain how including patient preferences, social determinants of health, and values might impact the trajectory of the situation and how these were reflected in the treatment plan. Finally, explain the value of the patient decision aid you selected and how it might contribute to effective decision making, both in general and in the experience you described. Describe how you might use this decision aid inventory in your professional practice or personal life.(Please Note: The underlined "social determinants of health" in the above content is meant to hotlink to the following Walden webpage and content:Social Determinants of Health - Social Determinants of Health - Academic Guides at Walden University)Respond to at least two of your colleagues on two different days and offer alternative views on the impact of patient preferences on treatment plans or outcomes, or the potential impact of patient decision aids on situations like the one shared.
