Your assigned stance may not be what you truly believe, but that is what makes us acknowledge other people’s viewpoints.
Write an answer based on this assignment. Use at least 2 references but not the same that appears here.
1. Describe a situation in which the nurse manager would use problem resolution in the workplace. Describe a situation in which the nurse manager would use negotiation to resolve a conflict (or potential conflict) in the workplace.
An exchange can be an option in contrast to settling struggle in the working environment particularly when the attendants differ on the methods for accomplishing the particular objective of the association. During the exchange cycle, nurture director asks the attendants to utilize a clear correspondence to alter their differences to eventually show up at an agreement.(Florida nurse. (n.d). Florida Nurses Association). Each attendant is permitted to share their objectives, needs, and the needs and afterward the whole nursing office is permitted to adjust to the requirements and needs so as to arrive at the shared objective of the association. The book clarifies that difficult goal is a cycle that inpatient care ought to be comfortable with. This critical thinking approach can be utilized at whatever point staff issues, for example, expanded outstanding task at hand, happen. The medical caretaker supervisor would utilize issue goal to initially distinguish the issue, create potential arrangements, actualize the picked arrangement lastly assess whether the issue has been understood.
2. Compare and contrast strategies for resolving a conflict, using first the informal negotiation method and then the formal negotiation method.
Assertion includes the cycle whereby the contested gatherings present their contradictions to one referee. It is more affordable and more available than a preliminary. It includes the utilization of the formal and semiformal system and bits of proof. Then again, intercession is the place the third who is viewed as nonpartisan go between encourages the discourse cycle. Intervention is intentionally and non-restricting cycle instead of mediation which is automatic. This is a cycle that requires a lot of reasoning however it can lead the gatherings required to determine their contention by the methods for bargaining or consenting to the terms while additionally staying away from questions, differences and contending. Casual exchange technique is utilized when a difference has gotten too enormous, complex, and warmed for the difficult goal to be fruitful
3. Explore the American Nurses Association website for information on collective bargaining for nurses. Which states have nursing unions? Debate the issue of joining a union with another group of students.
The states with nursing associations incorporate Minnesota, Massachusetts, Nevada, Texas, Maine, California, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Kentucky, and Columbia locale. As an attendant, I trust it is important to join a nursing association on the grounds that there are numerous advantages to its individuals, associations allude to units that ensure and shield the privileges of the patrons. Along these lines, joining nursing associations one would get the chance to appreciate rights and opportunities, for example, better wages, aggregate dealing, better advantages, and individual portrayal with workers. Subsequently, it is essential to join a nursing association since it gives a dependable voice to individuals.
4. PART 1: Log onto the website of your state nurses association and search for information on collective bargaining. Search for news articles, union websites, and other recent information on collective bargaining for nurses in your state. Is there a great deal of collective bargaining activity in your state? If not, why? If yes, what are the primary issues under discussion?
The Florida Nurses Association is an affiliation that speaks to all enlisted medical caretakers for aggregate bartering. A cycle exists that realizes the appointment of authorities and the arrangement of agreements. Florida State has not experienced a lot of aggregate haggling movement since the state has a law that involves all workers reserve no option to strike, accordingly guaranteeing request and interference of government exercises. Florida is an option to work state; thusly, the privilege of a person to work can’t be denied dependent on participation or non-enrollment in any worker’s guild or association(Tappen, R. M. (2009). To guarantee the precise and continuous activities and elements of government, Florida’s state workers don’t reserve the privilege to strike. At present, there are seven work associations speaking to State Personnel System representatives whose classes are relegated to one of 13 aggregate haggling units.
PART 2: Review the pros and cons of becoming part of a collective bargaining unit. If you were a full-time staff nurse, would you want to join a union? Why or why not?
I would join the union, I am in support of safeguarding the interests of people. Nursing isn’t a simple activity and it ought to be paid and celebrated all things considered. A master of joining an association would be the capacity to battle for what is correct, for example, compensation builds, extra advantages, downtime and advancement and continuation of expert practices. A con of joining an aggregate bartering is that it can make division from medical caretakers that don’t wish to join, for example, nurture directors or other staff individuals(Klug, M. (2018). This can make negative sentiments and can even advance a negative climate for all. It is important for the nursing professionals to consider the advantages and disadvantages resulting from unions, it opens doors for nurses to recognize whether the correct choice to make is to join or form a union.

Diabetes Mellitus is chosen as a selected problem for promoting a better patient outcome and improve the standard of care since this is a chronic condition and has long-term effects that cause an increase in mortality rate. Evidence is one of the keys to providing a vision on the ways to improve the quality of care and bridging the knowledge gap.
The first common barriers to evidence translation in addressing this practice problem is knowledge and awareness. Patients should get an education on keeping the blood sugar levels on target and be aware of the ways of keeping track of their blood glucose levels. On the other hand, it is also important for the health care professional to have adequate knowledge of providing diabetic education for the patient during discharge to prevent readmission. Skills are necessary for the patients who are discharged and need insulin administration and therefore if the patient is not practiced in skills it can lead to uncontrolled diabetes and patients often get readmitted with the complications associated with diabetes mellitus. Acceptance and beliefs could be one of the barriers which are in the patients as well as with the health care professionals. Patients with a multicultural background with certain beliefs often practice herbal medicines or any traditional methods to control blood sugar which causes a drug to drug interactions. To accept a new change is difficult for the patient and therefore will see fewer effects in controlling blood sugar levels. Health care professionals should collaborate with the diabetic educators and should bring new practices based on new evidence.
The strategies which we can apply in this practice problem could be first with an Inter-Professional Collaboration (IPC) with the stakeholders specifically with the diabetic educator. Interprofessional collaboration is the key to attain the goal specifically for chronic care conditions which includes diabetes mellitus. According to Van, D. G et al,. (2020), IPC between physicians, physicians’ trainees, nurses which includes senior staff nurses, and diabetic educators has provided a better training program that helps the patient to improve their diabetic health. Stakeholders can be well engaged for further exploration by sharing the information, gathering the research and evidence, consultation, participation, and collaboration (White, K. M et al,. 2016).
To determine which evidence to implement is the most challenging implementation, however, it is also important to get the evidence and follow the interventions based on the purpose and outcome of the interventions. The research data would provide the evidence on a practice which is followed and so the first vital source is finding out the research questions and the outcome. The two most important diabetic intervention includes diet and exercises in different forms such as aerobic, tai chi, yoga, swimming.
Change is not easy and if a change has happened, I believe the appropriate rational and a tentative outcome is essential to be informed for creating team effort and motivation. To determine continuity and sustainability of the change, the DNP scholar should assess the educational programs and should promote adequate resource to educational meetings, team huddle to assess the pros and cons, meetings and getting opinion with the nurse leaders, clinical audit and feedback is also needed and provide complete information on the new evidence provided (Dang, et al. 2018)

Create a PowerPoint presentation of 14-16 slides with speaking notes on the new regulations impacting the practice as a result of the Affordable Care Act.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or ACA) was signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2010. The ACA attempts to increase access to care, reduce cost, and improve quality. Nearly 50 different reform initiatives were implemented between 2010 and 2017. Although primary care is a major focus of the act, these additional initiatives are focused on 10 different areas, including public health, prevention of disease, community health, and increasing revenue provisions to pay for the reform (Niles, 2021). The law has been controversial due to the mandate that all Americans must purchase health insurance.
The U.S. government plays a significant role in the operation of the country’s health care system. Quality, access, funding, education, and preventative services are all influenced by the U.S. government (Niles, 2021), and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has further increased the role and involvement of the government in health care. All health care administrators must be knowledgeable on the role of the government.
Numerous governmental organizations exist, such as the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Office of the Surgeon General to name a few. Each organization exists for a specific purpose and has a specific mission. Your role as an administrator will be to understand the scope of these agencies and to help your organization meet or exceed the governmental mandates imposed by each.
