Effective management encompasses four principal elements: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling the limited resources of an organization to achieve stated goals. This assessment focuses on the first of these elements: planning.
An important responsibility of managers is to communicate the organizational vision, mission, and goals, and develop and execute strategies for achieving them. For this assessment, you will take on the role of a manager in a case study scenario, to plan how you will communicate goals to your team and develop achievement strategies and criteria. Your job as the department manager is to convert the organizational goals you have been given into departmental activities that can be accomplished and measured, and to align the daily activities of your department with the overall company goals.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
•Competency 1: Evaluate the purpose and relevance of management roles. ◦Analyze factors that define and shape management in the human resources functional area.
◦Analyze factors that define and shape management in a declared functional area.
•Competency 2: Evaluate how planning and decision-making influence the roles of a manager. ◦Analyze the value of planning in strategic management.

Odessa College Lincoln and The Abolition of Slavery Reflection Essay
This is another of several 'reflections.' Remember, these are less formal, briefer writings. How I will grade these: The reflections earning A grades will be those which stay within the requested length (250 to 300 words), show a clear statement of opinion, and elaborate on that opinion while illustrating it by mentioning a few key details from the topic piece. These do not need to be perfectly proofed, but they will be free enough from errors to communicate clearly. To earn five extra points, respond very briefly to at least three of your classmates. Don't everyone respond to the same three, please, especially not the first three you come to, but mainly, just choose interesting postings to respond to.The topic for this week's reflection is a video from YouTube, but it is not a music video; this time, the video is a key scene from the movie entitled Lincoln, which played in movie theaters several years ago. If you have not seen the movie, I highly recommend it. In this scene, which is about three minutes long, Abraham Lincoln is played by Daniel Day-Lewis. The broad context of the scene is during the Civil War, and more specifically, Lincoln's determined effort to have Congress pass what was to become the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the amendment which abolishes slavery or involuntary servitude, except as punishment for proven crime.The more specific context of the scene is this: Lincoln is meeting with his Cabinet members and other key supporters. At issue is how to gain two more votes in Congress which are desperately needed for this amendment to pass. A complication is that the Confederate States have actually contacted Lincoln with an offer to end the war. Knowing that without the threat of continued war to spur the passing of the amendment abolishing slavery, Lincoln has concealed the Confederate offer. As the scene begins, his staff members have learned of the Confederate offer and are angrily confronting Lincoln about this. He listens without speaking, until, slamming his hand on the table for silence, he speaks--spelling out in no uncertain terms what is at stake, "for all coming time." When his staff still balk, he rises, and the ethos, the power of personality Day-Lewis projects in his portrayal of Lincoln in this crucial moment, is immense.The scene furnishes us with subtitles of all the dialogue, so the words are easy to follow. This is of course a partially fictionalized peek "behind the curtain" of what it took to pass such a monumental change to the law of our land. But Daniel Day-Lewis speaks with the eloquence that the actual man, Lincoln himself, was known for, and I am curious as to what each of you thinks of this scene. (Daniel Day-Lewis won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Lincoln in this film.)

NSU Health Promotion World Health Organization Essay
I Have to reply to 3 posts First Post Happy to be here. My name is L . A. M and I am currently enrolled here at Nova in the Family Nurse Practitioner program. Excited to continue this journey and excited as to what’s to come to get closer to our goal! I currently work for Mercy hospital as an Emergency Department Nurse. I love the ED, as I have been there over 4 years. I also work as a Firefighter/Paramedic for the City of Miami Department of Fire-Rescue, going on 7 years. I love what I do as I get to see both sides of the fence as both the pre-hospital and hospital setting. My background says Acute but I choose Family because I wanted more options and more opportunities. I have a few plans in the coming future. Working on having a baby with my wife as well as promotion to Lieutenant for my Fire Department. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and moving forward to achieve our goals in this field. We will get through this program as a unit and have fun along the way. Thank you all for reading this and the most success in this semester! Part 2:Health promotion is a behavioral social science that draws from the biological, environmental, psychological, physical and medical sciences to promote health and prevent disease, disability and premature death through education-driven voluntary behavior change activities. It is the development of individual, group, institutional, community and systemic strategies to improve health knowledge, attitudes, skills and behavior. The purpose of health promotion is to positively influence the health behavior of individuals and communities as well as the living and working conditions that influence their health.Nurses, particularly community and public health nurses, recognize that promoting wellness and healthy lifestyles are key to eliminating the unequal burden of disease experienced by poor and other underserved populations.Part 3:One theory relevant to health promotion practice is relapse prevention. Relapse Prevention is a skills-based, cognitive-behavioral approach that requires patients and their clinicians to identify situations that place the person at greater risk for relapse – both internal experiences such as positive thoughts related to substance use or negative thoughts related to sobriety that arise without effort, called “automatic thoughts” and external cues like people that the person associates with substance use. The patient and clinician work to develop strategies, including cognitive (related to thinking) and behavioral (related to action), to address those specific high-risk situations. With more effective coping, the patient develops increased confidence to handle challenging situations without alcohol and other drugs (increased self-efficacy). Second Post My name is C. B. and I am currently working in the emergency room as a charge nurse. Although I enjoy the fast pace and turn over of patients that the emergency department is known for, I am ready to transition to an advanced practice role in a primary care setting in hopes of getting to focus more on a proactive, as opposed to reactive, approach to care. The current course of NSG 5220 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention of the MSN Family Nurse Practitioner Program will help me to reach these goals and allow more of a focus on the community health, disease prevention and recognition, and promotion of health practices that contribute to the profession and constitute a well-rounded advanced practice nurse. Health promotion is defined as a holistic approach of encouraging healthy living and interventions by promoting positive health interventions such as physical activity, disease prevention, nutrition, and maintaining the highest level of health from those individuals that already suffer from chronic illnesses (Pati et al., 2017). Health promotion includes increasing patient control of their health to improve outcomes and the encouragement of healthy living practices. Disease prevention is motivated by a desire to prevent, detect, and manage illness. Health promotion is vital to nursing practice, especially the practice of the advanced practice nurse, in that these individuals are able to screen for risk factors for disease, provide early treatment, advice, counseling, and referral. Additionally, these providers can broaden their impact by becoming involved in organizational, community, and at the government level to be a change agent and community leader.A theory relevant to population health nursing and health promotion is Kolcaba’s Theory of Comfort. This theory provides a holistic comfort theory for nursing. Comfort of an individual is defined as meeting satisfaction of basic human needs such as rest, homeostasis, therapeutic communication, and treatment from stressful healthcare situations (Kolcaba, 1994). The relevance of this theory in population health nursing today cannot be overstated. Comfort is one of the most basic factors in nursing that is addressed almost without thought. Patients experience increased stress in a hospital setting, and implementation of interventions aimed at increasing comfort will help them holistically combat the stressors they are experiencing. This theory prioritizes a patient’s comfort, which is of upmost importance. With increased comfort, patients have better health outcomes and satisfaction with care. It is the goal of healthcare providers to increase patient comfort through outward approaches, or by subtler means. If the patients are under the care of a health provider, they are likely under increased stress due to the new environment and illness. An increased focus on comfort and well-being enables health promotion and disease prevention to occur by creating an environment where patients are better able to be advocates for their care while remaining comfortable and having autonomy (Pinto et al., 2017).ReferencesKolcaba, K. Y. (1994). A theory of holistic comfort for nursing. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 19(6), 1178–1184. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2648.1994.tb01202.xPati, S., Chauhan, A.

Porto Biomedical Journal, 2(1), 6–12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pbj.2016.11.003 (Links to an external site.) Third post My name is B. Z. I have been a registered nurse since 2013. I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Nova Southeastern University in December 2012 at the Davie campus. I was born and raised in New Jersey and moved down here thirteen years ago. I have been married to my husband for six years and we have three young children. I love to cook and I am always looking to try out new recipes. I really enjoy exercising and going for walks outside. I started my nursing career in the operating room as a circulating nurse at a busy surgical center. I learned a lot from that job position and worked with various surgeons in different specialties including plastics, orthopedics, podiatry, gynecology, and urology. I have also worked in the hospital on the postpartum floor and floated to pediatrics and neonatal intensive care unit. Although I enjoyed working with new mothers and newborns, I really like working in the outpatient setting versus the hospital setting. I currently work per diem at a plastic surgery center as both an operating room nurse and recovery room nurse. My future plan is to successfully graduate from Nova Southeastern University’s Advance Practical Nurse program and become a Family Nurse practitioner. I hope to continue working in the plastic surgery specialty as a family nurse practitioner.Iriarte et al. (2020) explains the term health promotion. Health promotion allows people to take responsibility for their health. There are different types of interventions that help guard people’s health and quality of life. A way to promote one’s health is to prevent diseases and causes of poor health. Health promotion is important to nursing practice because it can improve patient outcomes and patients’ overall health which is an imperative goal of nurses. Macêdo Magalhães et al. (2020) discusses how health promotion practices are important to nurses working in the intensive care unit. Research found that nurses rely on health promotion to avoid complications in their patients and the nurses find health promotion practices toward patients important.A theory that is relevant to health promotion practices is the health belief model. Moradi et al. (2020) states that the health belief model is a very effective in determining health behaviors. The theory is used to prevent unfitting health behaviors. This theory relates to health promotion practices because health promotion focuses on the actions people take regarding their health. Moradi et al. (2020) explains that the health belief model finds that people are more willing to change if they are scared of the consequences of not changing and if they know that changes will lead to better outcomes. This applies to health promotion because patients are more willing to participate in health promotion practices if they fear the diseases they are susceptible to and if they know that by participating they will have an overall better health.ReferencesIriarte, R.

Odessa College Lincoln and The Abolition of Slavery Reflection Essay
This is another of several 'reflections.' Remember, these are less formal, briefer writings. How I will grade these: The reflections earning A grades will be those which stay within the requested length (250 to 300 words), show a clear statement of opinion, and elaborate on that opinion while illustrating it by mentioning a few key details from the topic piece. These do not need to be perfectly proofed, but they will be free enough from errors to communicate clearly. To earn five extra points, respond very briefly to at least three of your classmates. Don't everyone respond to the same three, please, especially not the first three you come to, but mainly, just choose interesting postings to respond to.The topic for this week's reflection is a video from YouTube, but it is not a music video; this time, the video is a key scene from the movie entitled Lincoln, which played in movie theaters several years ago. If you have not seen the movie, I highly recommend it. In this scene, which is about three minutes long, Abraham Lincoln is played by Daniel Day-Lewis. The broad context of the scene is during the Civil War, and more specifically, Lincoln's determined effort to have Congress pass what was to become the Thirteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the amendment which abolishes slavery or involuntary servitude, except as punishment for proven crime.The more specific context of the scene is this: Lincoln is meeting with his Cabinet members and other key supporters. At issue is how to gain two more votes in Congress which are desperately needed for this amendment to pass. A complication is that the Confederate States have actually contacted Lincoln with an offer to end the war. Knowing that without the threat of continued war to spur the passing of the amendment abolishing slavery, Lincoln has concealed the Confederate offer. As the scene begins, his staff members have learned of the Confederate offer and are angrily confronting Lincoln about this. He listens without speaking, until, slamming his hand on the table for silence, he speaks--spelling out in no uncertain terms what is at stake, "for all coming time." When his staff still balk, he rises, and the ethos, the power of personality Day-Lewis projects in his portrayal of Lincoln in this crucial moment, is immense.The scene furnishes us with subtitles of all the dialogue, so the words are easy to follow. This is of course a partially fictionalized peek "behind the curtain" of what it took to pass such a monumental change to the law of our land. But Daniel Day-Lewis speaks with the eloquence that the actual man, Lincoln himself, was known for, and I am curious as to what each of you thinks of this scene. (Daniel Day-Lewis won an Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Lincoln in this film.)

NSU Health Promotion World Health Organization Essay
I Have to reply to 3 posts First Post Happy to be here. My name is L . A. M and I am currently enrolled here at Nova in the Family Nurse Practitioner program. Excited to continue this journey and excited as to what’s to come to get closer to our goal! I currently work for Mercy hospital as an Emergency Department Nurse. I love the ED, as I have been there over 4 years. I also work as a Firefighter/Paramedic for the City of Miami Department of Fire-Rescue, going on 7 years. I love what I do as I get to see both sides of the fence as both the pre-hospital and hospital setting. My background says Acute but I choose Family because I wanted more options and more opportunities. I have a few plans in the coming future. Working on having a baby with my wife as well as promotion to Lieutenant for my Fire Department. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and moving forward to achieve our goals in this field. We will get through this program as a unit and have fun along the way. Thank you all for reading this and the most success in this semester! Part 2:Health promotion is a behavioral social science that draws from the biological, environmental, psychological, physical and medical sciences to promote health and prevent disease, disability and premature death through education-driven voluntary behavior change activities. It is the development of individual, group, institutional, community and systemic strategies to improve health knowledge, attitudes, skills and behavior. The purpose of health promotion is to positively influence the health behavior of individuals and communities as well as the living and working conditions that influence their health.Nurses, particularly community and public health nurses, recognize that promoting wellness and healthy lifestyles are key to eliminating the unequal burden of disease experienced by poor and other underserved populations.Part 3:One theory relevant to health promotion practice is relapse prevention. Relapse Prevention is a skills-based, cognitive-behavioral approach that requires patients and their clinicians to identify situations that place the person at greater risk for relapse – both internal experiences such as positive thoughts related to substance use or negative thoughts related to sobriety that arise without effort, called “automatic thoughts” and external cues like people that the person associates with substance use. The patient and clinician work to develop strategies, including cognitive (related to thinking) and behavioral (related to action), to address those specific high-risk situations. With more effective coping, the patient develops increased confidence to handle challenging situations without alcohol and other drugs (increased self-efficacy). Second Post My name is C. B. and I am currently working in the emergency room as a charge nurse. Although I enjoy the fast pace and turn over of patients that the emergency department is known for, I am ready to transition to an advanced practice role in a primary care setting in hopes of getting to focus more on a proactive, as opposed to reactive, approach to care. The current course of NSG 5220 Health Promotion and Disease Prevention of the MSN Family Nurse Practitioner Program will help me to reach these goals and allow more of a focus on the community health, disease prevention and recognition, and promotion of health practices that contribute to the profession and constitute a well-rounded advanced practice nurse. Health promotion is defined as a holistic approach of encouraging healthy living and interventions by promoting positive health interventions such as physical activity, disease prevention, nutrition, and maintaining the highest level of health from those individuals that already suffer from chronic illnesses (Pati et al., 2017). Health promotion includes increasing patient control of their health to improve outcomes and the encouragement of healthy living practices. Disease prevention is motivated by a desire to prevent, detect, and manage illness. Health promotion is vital to nursing practice, especially the practice of the advanced practice nurse, in that these individuals are able to screen for risk factors for disease, provide early treatment, advice, counseling, and referral. Additionally, these providers can broaden their impact by becoming involved in organizational, community, and at the government level to be a change agent and community leader.A theory relevant to population health nursing and health promotion is Kolcaba’s Theory of Comfort. This theory provides a holistic comfort theory for nursing. Comfort of an individual is defined as meeting satisfaction of basic human needs such as rest, homeostasis, therapeutic communication, and treatment from stressful healthcare situations (Kolcaba, 1994). The relevance of this theory in population health nursing today cannot be overstated. Comfort is one of the most basic factors in nursing that is addressed almost without thought. Patients experience increased stress in a hospital setting, and implementation of interventions aimed at increasing comfort will help them holistically combat the stressors they are experiencing. This theory prioritizes a patient’s comfort, which is of upmost importance. With increased comfort, patients have better health outcomes and satisfaction with care. It is the goal of healthcare providers to increase patient comfort through outward approaches, or by subtler means. If the patients are under the care of a health provider, they are likely under increased stress due to the new environment and illness. An increased focus on comfort and well-being enables health promotion and disease prevention to occur by creating an environment where patients are better able to be advocates for their care while remaining comfortable and having autonomy (Pinto et al., 2017).ReferencesKolcaba, K. Y. (1994). A theory of holistic comfort for nursing. Journal of Advanced Nursing, 19(6), 1178–1184. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2648.1994.tb01202.xPati, S., Chauhan, A.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Nova Southeastern University in December 2012 at the Davie campus. I was born and raised in New Jersey and moved down here thirteen years ago. I have been married to my husband for six years and we have three young children. I love to cook and I am always looking to try out new recipes. I really enjoy exercising and going for walks outside. I started my nursing career in the operating room as a circulating nurse at a busy surgical center. I learned a lot from that job position and worked with various surgeons in different specialties including plastics, orthopedics, podiatry, gynecology, and urology. I have also worked in the hospital on the postpartum floor and floated to pediatrics and neonatal intensive care unit. Although I enjoyed working with new mothers and newborns, I really like working in the outpatient setting versus the hospital setting. I currently work per diem at a plastic surgery center as both an operating room nurse and recovery room nurse. My future plan is to successfully graduate from Nova Southeastern University’s Advance Practical Nurse program and become a Family Nurse practitioner. I hope to continue working in the plastic surgery specialty as a family nurse practitioner.Iriarte et al. (2020) explains the term health promotion. Health promotion allows people to take responsibility for their health. There are different types of interventions that help guard people’s health and quality of life. A way to promote one’s health is to prevent diseases and causes of poor health. Health promotion is important to nursing practice because it can improve patient outcomes and patients’ overall health which is an imperative goal of nurses. Macêdo Magalhães et al. (2020) discusses how health promotion practices are important to nurses working in the intensive care unit. Research found that nurses rely on health promotion to avoid complications in their patients and the nurses find health promotion practices toward patients important.A theory that is relevant to health promotion practices is the health belief model. Moradi et al. (2020) states that the health belief model is a very effective in determining health behaviors. The theory is used to prevent unfitting health behaviors. This theory relates to health promotion practices because health promotion focuses on the actions people take regarding their health. Moradi et al. (2020) explains that the health belief model finds that people are more willing to change if they are scared of the consequences of not changing and if they know that changes will lead to better outcomes. This applies to health promotion because patients are more willing to participate in health promotion practices if they fear the diseases they are susceptible to and if they know that by participating they will have an overall better health.ReferencesIriarte, R.
