In a 5–7 page written assessment, assess the effect of the patient, family, or population problem you’ve previously defined on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend approximately 2 direct practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group you’ve chosen to work with and, if desired, consulting with subject matter and industry experts. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form. Report on your experiences during your first two practicum hours.
Organizational data, such as readmission rates, hospital-acquired infections, falls, medication errors, staff satisfaction, serious safety events, and patient experience can be used to prioritize time, resources, and finances. Health care organizations and government agencies use benchmark data to compare the quality of organizational services and report the status of patient safety. Professional nurses are key to comprehensive data collection, reporting, and monitoring of metrics to improve quality and patient safety. In this assessment, you’ll assess the effect of the health problem you’ve defined on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend at least 2 direct practicum hours working with the same patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also choose to consult with subject matter and industry experts. To prepare for the assessment: Review the assessment instructions and scoring guide to ensure that you understand the work you will be asked to complete and how it will be assessed. Conduct research of the scholarly and professional literature to inform your assessment and meet scholarly expectations for supporting evidence. Review the Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 2 [PDF] Download Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 2 [PDF], which provides guidance for conducting this portion of your practicum. Complete this assessment in two parts. Part 1 Assess the effect of the patient, family, or population problem you defined in the previous assessment on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Plan to spend at least 2 practicum hours exploring these aspects of the problem with the patient, family, or group. During this time, you may also consult with subject matter and industry experts of your choice. Document the time spent (your practicum hours) with these individuals or group in the Capella Academic Portal Volunteer Experience Form. Use the Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 2 [PDF] Download Practicum Focus Sheet: Assessment 2 [PDF]provided for this assessment to guide your work and interpersonal interactions. Part 2 Report on your experiences during your first 2 practicum hours, including how you presented your ideas about the health problem to the patient, family, or group. Whom did you meet with? What did you learn from them? Comment on the evidence-based practice (EBP) documents or websites you reviewed. What did you learn from that review? Share the process and experience of exploring the influence of leadership, collaboration, communication, change management, and policy on the problem. What barriers, if any, did you encounter when presenting the problem to the patient, family, or group? Did the patient, family, or group agree with you about the presence of the problem and its significance and relevance? What leadership, communication, collaboration, or change management skills did you employ during your interactions to overcome these barriers or change the patient’s, family’s, or group’s thinking about the problem (for example, creating a sense of urgency based on data or policy requirements)? What changes, if any, did you make to your definition of the problem, based on your discussions? What might you have done differently? The assessment requirements, outlined below, correspond to the scoring guide criteria, so be sure to address each main point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed. In addition, note the additional requirements for document format and length and for supporting evidence. Explain how the patient, family, or population problem impacts the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Cite evidence that supports the stated impact. Note whether the supporting evidence is consistent with what you see in your nursing practice. Explain how state board nursing practice standards and/or organizational or governmental policies can affect the problem’s impact on the quality of care, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual. Describe research that has tested the effectiveness of these standards and/or policies in addressing care quality, patient safety, and costs to the system and individual.

Design and mathematically simulate the operation of a quantum-powered spacecraft engine capable of interstellar travel. The engine should utilize theoretical quantum propulsion principles (e.g., quantum vacuum fluctuations or exotic matter) and be optimized for a multi-star system trajectory within 100 light-years. Part 1: Quantum Field Integration 1, Derive a system of differential equations describing the quantum fluctuations of the vacuum state around the spacecraft. Assume that spacetime curvature varies non-linearly within the interstellar medium. 2, Integrate these equations into a 12-dimensional tensor space accounting for: Relativistic effects Quantum decoherence over macroscopic distances Exotic matter generation efficiency Part 2: Energy Budget and Thermodynamics Calculate the total energy required to maintain quantum coherence in the engine’s core. Assume energy extraction from a hypothetical 10^12 Tesla magnetic monopole field. Solve for the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine while accounting for: Entropy fluctuations in a 4-dimensional spacetime manifold Multi-phase quantum energy loss at Planck-scale interactions Derive a feasible (or infeasible) energy budget for a 10-light-year journey using real-time quantum entanglement energy transfer. Part 3: Multi-Star System Navigation Using a generalized N-body problem solver, simulate a 3-star gravitational slingshot maneuver where: The stars are modeled as rapidly rotating neutron stars emitting bursts of gamma radiation. Gravitational anomalies near each star introduce unpredicted trajectory perturbations. Optimize the trajectory using Lagrangian mechanics extended to a 6-body system with quantum drag forces. Present the system of equations and solve numerically using at least fourth-order Runge-Kutta methods. Part 4: Engine Material Engineering Design a material capable of withstanding continuous interaction with exotic matter and extreme quantum effects. Utilize Schrödinger’s wave equations to define the electron density and resilience under quantum tunneling bombardments. Solve for a stable material composition using partial differential equations in 7-variable Hilbert space. Part 5: Unification with Hypothetical Physics Integrate your propulsion model with unsolved problems in physics, such as: Unifying General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics Validating a dynamic Alcubierre metric without the need for negative energy Propose modifications to the Standard Model to allow stable exotic matter production and mathematically prove your hypotheses. Deliverables: A 50 to 100-page mathematical dissertation detailing your findings. 3D visualizations and simulations of the quantum field effects and trajectory optimizations. Proof of computational feasibility, including source code for the simulations. Marks will be awarded based on: The novelty of your hypotheses. Accuracy in applying known physical and mathematical principles. Innovation in merging theoretical physics with practical engineering constraints. Hint: There are no complete solutions; strive to innovate beyond known science

Discussion: Environmental Protection and Change

Despite everything we know about the impacts to our environment by things like deforestation, toxic chemicals, and dumping, these issues persist around the globe. Why is there still so much left to be done in terms of protecting the environment and preventing illness from contaminated resources? In other words, what are the challenges to implementing sound, effective, and easily implementable international environmental policy? Be sure to cite the course materials (or outside, scholarly sources – be sure to cite them and/or provide the info) to make your argument.
