After reading the Orsmond and Cohn (2015) article, please engage in the following writing activity:
PART 1:
Review each objective of feasibility studies written by Orsmond and Cohn. In your own words, reflect on what they found/concluded for each criteria as it relates to the Videos of Important People (VIP) intervention:
Objective 1: Evaluation of Recruitment Capability and Resulting Sample Characteristics
Objective 2: Evaluation and Refinement of Data Collection Procedures and Outcome Measures
Objective 3: Evaluation of Acceptability and Suitability of Intervention and Study Procedures
Objective 4: Evaluation of Resources and Ability to Manage and Implement the Study and Intervention
Objective 5: Preliminary Evaluation of Participant Responses to Intervention
PART 2:
Next, review the concise list of focused questions that can be found in the appendix (of the article). These questions are specific to the feasibility phase of the intervention/program planning process. Reflect on which five questions you think will be the most important to focus on this semester, given the majority of students will be working on a project related to food insecurity/nutrition or sanitation/homelessness.

Assignment Content
Individual assignment . one per student .Assignment #3 Individual PowerPoint Presentations covering the following case study:Aims and Objectives: To identify structure, process, and outcomes associated with the implementation of transitional community-based management of hospital readmission rates.Background: Population health-based projects have previously been described (Chapters 10 and 13). Using a transitional community-based readmissions plan for patients with heart failure, categorize quality metrics into structure, process, and outcomes.Questions/comments to be considered are as follows:What are your data input, output, and measures of success?
Suggested response: The data input would be community health workers and patients with heart failure, the output would be readmission plans, and the measure of success would be surveying patient responses. 2, Explain how your devised model incorporates social context.The community-based management program will ensure that social contexts such as social or familial support, income, or cultural norms are incorporated.
Patients will be treated within their social context and communities.

THE PERSONAL QUALITIES FOR EFFECTIVE FOLLOWING AND LEADING
There are a number of different tools and resources a person can use to gain insight into aspects of their personality. One such type of tool is a personality inventory or “test.” You may have seen examples of these tests online, or perhaps you have even taken one or more of them in the past. In this Discussion, you will use the results of one such online personality test to consider what qualities you already possess and which you would like to cultivate to be a more effective leader and follower. “The Big Five Project Personality TestLinks to an external site.” (https://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/). (Note: There are a number of optional demographic questions following the required items. You may choose to complete these, but you are not required to do so in order to get your results.)
Consider what the results say about your personality, the challenges you may have in working with others, and the challenges others might have when working with you. For example, perhaps you are respectful and kind to others, but you are disorganized. While you may be pleasant to work with, you have difficulty meeting deadlines and need to remember appointments.
Note: If you disagree with the results of the test, consider asking a trusted friend to review the results and see if they agree or not.
BY DAY 3
Post a summary of your personality test results, as well as how you might use these results to become a more effective leader and follower. In your summary, address the following:
Summarize your results on “The Big Five Project Personality Test” and state whether you agree with these results. Provide a rationale to support your conclusion.
Analyze how your personality might influence how you lead and how you follow. Draw on your professional and personal experience to provide examples.
Identify one personal quality you would like to improve as you work to become a more effective leader and follower. Propose why this improvement would be a benefit to you and an organization.

Mrs. Sullivan, a 62-year old patient, was admitted to the acute care setting for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. The admitting note and history did not mention that Mrs. Sullivan had come into contact with infectious pulmonary tuberculosis in her job as a supervisor at a social services halfway house or that she had a history of testing positive for tuberculosis on the PPD tuberculin. The nurse’s admitting notes included the patient history of arthritis, stomach problems (GERD), and gastric ulcers, but did not mention her history of diabetes, kidney disease and exposure to tuberculosis. The patient exhibited no signs of tuberculosis when she was admitted. Admitting orders included medications for the arthritis and tests including PPD.
Four days after her admission, the nurse noted that the ordered tests, including the PPD, had not been done. The nurse verified this with Mrs. Sullivan, and the patient told this nurse that she always tested positive for tuberculosis on a PPD. She further stated that a chest x-ray was always ordered to determine the current activity of a dormant tuberculosis condition from her past occupational exposure.
The nurse charted on Sunday that the tests had not been done and also charted what the patient had said about her positive reactions to the PPD tests. Over the next ten days Mrs. Sullivan’s physician and two infectious disease specialists ran a variety of tests and treated Mrs. Sullivan with various antibiotics. The patient’s condition continually deteriorated, and a spinal tap was ordered, which revealed spinal meningitis. Mrs. Sullivan died 3 days later. Her family filed a lawsuit for negligence for not coming up with a timely diagnosis and her ultimate death.
Questions to answer:
Did the lack of documentation in the admitting nurse’s assessment and notes affect the ultimate outcome of this case?
Was there negligence on the part of the nursing staff in the care of this patient?
Should the nurse who noted the failure to perform the ordered tests have done more than merely note that these orders were not completed? Does the fact that this was a Sunday impact your answer?
How would you decide this case from your knowledge of legal implications and negligence?

CASE STUDY:
PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY AND CONSENT
Seven-year-old Megan was on a school trip to the Isle of Wight when she slipped on the edge of the swimming pool and landed awkwardly on her wrist. She is taken to the local Accident and Emergency department by her teacher. X-rays revealed she has a nasty contaminated radius fracture, and the orthopedic team believes it will need manipulation under anesthesia to achieve satisfactory realignment. Your surgical ST6 has asked you to complete the necessary pre-theatre checklists and to complete the consent form. You try to explain to him that the parents are absent, but he reassures you that the teacher can sign instead since she is the accompanying adult.
