Week 3: EHRs Benefits and Drawbacks66 unread replies.66 replies.PurposeThe ideas and beliefs underpinning the discussions guide students through engaging dialogues as they achieve the desired learning outcomes/competencies associated with their course in a manner that empowers them to organize, integrate, apply and critically appraise their knowledge to their selected field of practice. The ebb and flow of a discussion is based upon the composition of student and faculty interaction in the quest for relevant scholarship.Activity Learning OutcomesThrough this discussion, the student will demonstrate the ability to:Contribute level-appropriate knowledge and experience to the topic in a discussion environment that models professional and social interaction (CO4)Actively engage in the written ideas of others by carefully reading, researching, reflecting, and responding to the contributions of their peers and course faculty (CO5)Due Date:Students must post a minimum of two times in each graded discussion. The two posts in each individual discussion must be on separate days. Posting twice on two different days meets the minimum requirement however for full credit, the student must post at least three substantive posts on three different days. The student must provide an initial post to each graded discussion topic posted by the course instructor, by Wednesday, 11:59 p.m. MT of Week 3. Subsequent posts, including essential responses to peers, must occur no later than the Sunday, 11:59 p.m. MT at the end of Week 3. Students are expected to submit assignments by the time they are due. Threaded discussions are not considered assignments and are not part of the late assignment policy.A 10% late penalty will be imposed for discussions posted after the deadline on Wednesday regardless of the number of days late. NOTHING will be accepted after 11:59pm MT on Sunday (i.e. student will receive an automatic 0).Total Points Possible: 150 PointsRequirements:Post a written response in the discussion forum to EACH threaded discussion topic:As discussed in the lesson and assigned reading for this week, EHRs provide both benefits and drawbacks. Create a “Pros” versus “Cons” table and include at least 3 items for each list. Next to each item, provide a brief rationale as to why you selected to include it on the respective list.Refer to the Stage 3 objectives for Meaningful Use located in this week’s lesson under the heading Meaningful Use and the HITECH Act. Select two objectives to research further. In your own words, provide a brief discussion as to how the objective may impact your role as an APN in clinical practice. Adhere to the following guidelines regarding quality for the threaded discussions in Canvas:Application of Course Knowledge: Demonstrate the ability to analyze, synthesize, and/or apply principles and concepts learned in the course lesson and outside readings.Scholarliness and Scholarly Sources: Demonstrates achievement of scholarly inquiry for professional and academic decisions using valid, relevant, and reliable outside scholarly source to contribute to the discussion thread. Writing Mechanics: Grammar, spelling, syntax, and punctuation are accurate. In-text and reference citations should be formatted using correct APA guidelines.Direct Quotes: Good writing calls for the limited use of direct quotes. Direct quotes in discussions are to be limited to one short quotation (not to exceed 15 words). The quote must add substantively to the discussion. Points will be deducted under the grammar, syntax, APA category. For each threaded discussion per week, the student will select no less than TWO scholarly sources to support the initial discussion post.Scholarly Sources: Only scholarly sources are acceptable for citation and reference in this course. These include peer-reviewed publications, government reports, or sources written by a professional or scholar in the field. The textbooks and lessons are NOT considered to be outside scholarly sources. For the threaded discussions and reflection posts, reputable internet sources such as websites by government agencies (URL ends in .gov) and respected organizations (often ends in .org) can be counted as scholarly sources. The best outside scholarly source to use is a peer-reviewed nursing journal. You are encouraged to use the Chamberlain library and search one of the available databases for a peer-reviewed journal article. The following sources should not be used: Wikipedia, Wikis, or blogs. These websites are not considered scholarly as anyone can add to these. Please be aware that .com websites can vary in scholarship and quality. For example, the American Heart Association is a .com site with scholarship and quality. It is the responsibility of the student to determine the scholarship and quality of any .com site. Ask your instructor before using any site if you are unsure. Points will be deducted from the rubric if the site does not demonstrate scholarship or quality. Current outside scholarly sources must be published with the last 5 years. Instructor permission must be obtained BEFORE the assignment is due if using a source that is older than 5 years.

In this project you will create two simple firewall rules in Windows Advanced Firewall. This may be the first time you have made a modification to the firewall on your computer. The first rule will block all ICMP traffic. This will effectively prevent you from using the ping command to send ICMP packets to other computers. You will use a command prompt to verify the rule was effective.The second rule will block all outgoing Port 80 traffic. Port 80 is traditionally associated with Web traffic (HTTP). Once you create and enable the rule, all outgoing Port 80 traffic will be blocked. You will use a Web browser to verify the rule was effective, however, secure Web traffic (HTTPS) running over Port 443 will still be accessible. Both of the rules in this project will apply to outgoing traffic only. It is important to remember to disable the rules at the end of the project so your ICMP and Port 80 traffic will not be blocked. Directions:Click Start. In the search box, type cmd Press Enter. Type ping www.google.com Press Enter. (This will ping www.Google.com) Type time Press Enter twice. Take a screenshot. Click Start, Control Panel, System and Security, and Windows Firewall. Click Advanced settings. Click Outbound Rules. Click New Rule (right-hand pane). Click Custom, Next, and Next. Change the dropdown box to ICMPv4. Click Next, Next, Next, and Next. Name the rule YourName_Block_ICMP. (Replace YourName with your first and last names. In this case, it was RandyBoyle_Block_ICMP.) Click Finish. Return to your command prompt. Type ping www.google.com Press Enter. (This will ping www.google.com. You should get a “General failure” error.) Type time Press Enter twice. Take a screenshot. Open a Web browser. Browse to www.Google.com. (This will verify that you do have Internet access.) Return to the Windows Advanced Firewall window. Click Outbound Rules. Click New Rule (right-hand pane). Click Port, and Next. Type “80” into the text box for Specific remote ports. (This will effectively block all outgoing Web traffic from your computer. You will disable/delete this rule later.) Click Next, Next, and Next. Name the rule YourName_Block_Port_80. (Replace YourName with your first and last names. In this case, the rule was named RandyBoyle_Block_Port_80.) Click Finish. Return to your Web browser. Browse to any non-secure (not HTTPS) website of your choosing. You can browse to any website as long as it does not make an HTTPS connection (Port 443). The rule you made only blocks Port 80 Web traffic. Take a screenshot of the blocked website. (In this case, it was www.Microsoft.com.) Return to the Windows Advanced Firewall window. Select both of the rules you created. Right-click the selected rules. Click Disable Rule. (If you don’t disable the rules, your ICMP and Web traffic will still be blocked.) Take a screenshot of your disabled rules. Submit your Screenshots and answer the following questions:How could blocking all ICMP traffic protect you? Could you still access some websites with your Port 80 rule enabled? Why? Why would you want to allow incoming (not outgoing) Port 443, but block incoming Port 80? Could malware rename itself in order to get through a firewall? Why would this work? Your well-written paper should meet the following requirements:Be two to four pages in length Contain an illustrative table or a diagram created from properly cited external references Include two credible external references Formatted according to APA writing guidelines.
