** This is only the outline, it's not a paper.
First page of the thesis paper. Make sure you have written a strong thesis statement and a purpose or focus statement in the introduction. In addition to this, you need to include an outline for your paper.
**** IMPORTANT ***** Please remember, you need an ethical theory and three ethical principals to support your thesis and one theory and two principals in opposition to your thesis and this needs to be reflected on the outline. You cannot use the same theory & principals for both.
APA format: Paper must be three pages in length (not including title page), double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman or Arial font; 1 margins.
Title page
3 page report
Reference page
Resources: A minimum of three approved sources must be used to support your information. Wikipedia is not a valid site and should not be used. These sources must be used within the text of the report and included in the Reference page at the end of the report. Do not plagiarize.
Discussion Question:
Please respond to ONE of the following prompts.
Provide an illustrative example of a negligence suit that meets all of the required elements (using a hypothetical situation)
OR
Which classifications of law are more commonly applied to professional nursing? From a current media source (e.g. Internet, newspaper article) describe a health-care related incident that depicts one of the classifications of law.
Describe the differences between hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and continuous renal replacement therapy. How do they work to clean the patients blood and/or remove excess fluids? How is it monitored to be sure it is working correctly? What are the worst side effects that can occur on the treatment?
List three benefits and three disadvantages to each type. List the type or types of access or accesses used to give each type of treatment. Discuss who is and who is not a candidate for each type of dialysis and why.
Engagement and Motivation
According to DeYoung (2015), it is important to maintain learner engagement and determine the appropriate motivation for learning. Review the third Vila Health challenge, Management and Motivation. Select one of the learning situations and determine how the faculty could support learning while maintaining an engaged and motivated audience.
Traditional Teaching
Lecturing can be an effective teaching strategy in learning situations in which you are introducing new content, stimulating interest, summarizing knowledge from several sources, clarifying difficult concepts, and updating the most recent knowledge lacking in a textbook (DeYoung, 2015). While lecture may be the most common traditional teaching method, there are other traditional strategies that have enjoyed prevalence in the classroom environment. For this discussion, imagine you are preparing a one-hour lesson plan for the educational topic and learner population you identified for your Unit 3 assignment.
Select a variety of traditional teaching strategies such as lecture, discussion, questioning, and audiovisuals.
Divide your lesson plan by changing your traditional teaching strategies approximately every 15 minutes using a maximum of four different strategies.
Use references from your unit readings and independent research to support your
Best Practices in Teaching
For this discussion, you will:
Provide a short summary of the current best practices in both a traditional environment and an online environment as identified in the nursing research literature.
Compare and contrast traditional and online teaching practices.
Select at least two teaching strategies that you feel exemplify best practices that could be used in the Vila Health: Teaching Strategies challenge. Provide evidence-based support for your choices.
Discuss how the teaching strategies you selected might facilitate critical thinking.

Teaching Strategies
For this assignment, write a paper in which you address the following:
Utilize your assigned reading from this week and your independent research to write three learning outcomes for your course project, which you began planning in Unit 1.
Explain how these outcomes are reflected in the course content and representative of what is expected of the learner at course completion.
Based on your course content, outcomes, objectives, and learner population, evaluate at least three learning strategies that could be used.
Defend why these are the most appropriate strategies for your course and audience.
Describe the advantages of using your selected strategies.
Use the literature to support the choices you are making.
What possible barriers to learning might you encounter?
What strategies would be most applicable in overcoming those barriers?
How will your strategies keep learners motivated?
This discussion will be based on two readings from this unit's Studies section:
Associations Between Characteristics of the Nurse Work Environment and Five Nurse-Sensitive Patient Outcomes in Hospitals: A Systematic Review of Literature.
The American Nurses Association Web site section, Nurse Staffing.
In both readings, the issue of staff-to-patient ratio is explored. Staffing is a problem that encompasses patient safety, cost effectiveness, and work-life quality. In this discussion, comment on the following.
Discuss the minimum nurse-to-patient ratio where you practice. How do you reconcile staffing levels and patient outcomes with the financial constraints of most health care facilities?
How do staffing patterns impact patient care beyond the issues mentioned here?
If you live in a state with nurse staffing laws, in what ways do these laws benefit nurses and patients?

Write a 1-2 page paper discussing how your topic (diabetes and chronic diseases) has been analyzed at the global level. You should find at least one additional article to support your writing. Make sure what your writing about has to do with the actual topic not just health.
