The best way to learn anything is from those with deep experience in their respective fields. Leaders learn from each other the practices that have worked for them in their experiences of success as well as failure. Consider what you learned from your interview with an organizational leader about complexity leadership for teams and share it in a presentation. Create a 10-minute, 7- to 9-slide voice-over presentation using either Microsoft® PowerPoint® or websites such as Google Slides™, Adobe® Slate, or Prezi. This presentation will cover the interview you conducted with a leader of a volunteer organization or your own organization.
Consider the following as you create your presentation: Who did you interview? What organization do they work for? What questions did you ask? Did they know about the concepts of finding your true north, complexity leadership, and leadership purpose? If not, what do they think about it? What did you learn in your interview? What can you use immediately, and what complexity leadership strategies will you have to work on? Be sure to address what you learned in your interview about the following: Traits of authentic leaders Systems thinking, organizational dynamics, and governance in times of change Qualities of innovative, engaging, and effective leaders Communication and relationship management The importance of self-awareness, empathy, accountability, and ethical behavior Understanding health systems and organizations Note: Protect your interviewee’s privacy, and only mention their name and position if you have permission to do so. Cite any sources to support your assignment. Format your citations according to APA guidelines.

The National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculties (NONPF) has determined core competencies that apply to all nurse practitioners, regardless of specialty or patient population focus. NONPF has represented them within nine broad areas of core competence. NONPF created the first set of Nurse Practitioner Competencies in 1990; the most recent updates were incorporated in 2017. This synthesis course has had the overarching objective of preparing you to be able to synthesize knowledge gained throughout the program and be prepared to apply each of the nine core competencies within your selected areas of practice and your representative communities.
For each of the nine NONPF competencies, write one paragraph explaining how the program has prepared you to meet it (for a total of at least nine paragraphs). Then, propose and explain how you plan to engage in social change in your community as a nurse practitioner. Be specific and provide examples.The nine broad areas of competency are:
Scientific Foundations
Leadership
Quality
Practice Inquiry
Technology and Information Literacy
Policy
Health Delivery System
Ethics
Independent Practice

2017 Las Vegas Mass-Shooting
The Investigative Assistance for Violent Crimes Act of 2012, signed into law in January 2013, defines a mass killing as one resulting in at least 3 victims, excluding the perpetrator. On the evening of October 1, 2017, Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old man from Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire upon the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. Between 10:05 and 10:15 p.m. PDT, he fired more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition from his 32nd-floor suites in the Mandalay Bay Hotel, killing 60 people and wounding 411, with the ensuing panic bringing the injury total to 867. About an hour later, Paddock was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. This incident was the deadliest mass shooting committed by an individual in modern United States history.

THE ANSWER

**Memorandum**

**To:** [Recipient’s Name]
**From:** [Your Name]
**Date:** [Date]
**Subject:** 2017 Las Vegas Mass Shooting Disaster Response Evaluation and Enhancements

I would like to address the response to the 2017 Las Vegas Mass Shooting, a tragic event that presented immense challenges and required rapid and effective disaster response. In this memorandum, we will assess what went well with the response, identify significant challenges, suggest improvements, and discuss strategies to enhance our healthcare facility’s disaster preparedness, with a focus on Fayol’s Third Function of Management—coordinating.

**What Went Well with the Response?**

1. **Immediate Medical Attention:** The response involved the rapid deployment of medical personnel to the scene and the transport of victims to nearby healthcare facilities. This swift medical attention contributed to saving lives and providing critical care.

2. **Communication and Coordination:** Despite the chaotic situation, various agencies, including law enforcement, first responders, and healthcare facilities, coordinated their efforts effectively. This collaborative approach enabled a more efficient response.

3. **Community Support:** The response also saw a tremendous outpouring of support from the local community, including volunteers, blood donors, and mental health professionals, which provided essential assistance to the victims and their families.

4. **Media Communication:** Timely and transparent communication with the media helped disseminate crucial information to the public, minimizing panic and confusion.

**Significant Challenges with the Response:**

1. **Resource Overwhelm:** The mass casualty incident overwhelmed healthcare facilities, leading to a shortage of medical supplies, personnel, and available beds. This challenge highlighted the need for better resource management.

2. **Psychological Trauma:** The event caused significant psychological trauma to survivors, witnesses, and first responders. Managing the mental health needs of the affected individuals became a critical challenge.

3. **Victim Identification:** Identifying victims and notifying their families in a timely and sensitive manner was complicated due to the sheer number of casualties.

4. **Transportation:** Coordinating the transportation of victims to appropriate healthcare facilities was difficult, leading to delays in treatment.

**Ways to Improve the Response:**

1. **Resource Allocation:** Establish a clear protocol for resource allocation during mass casualty incidents, ensuring a more equitable distribution of supplies and personnel.

2. **Psychological Support:** Integrate mental health professionals into disaster response teams to address the psychological trauma experienced by survivors, witnesses, and first responders.

3. **Victim Identification:** Develop a system that streamlines the process of victim identification and family notification to minimize delays and emotional distress.

4. **Transportation Coordination:** Enhance transportation coordination, possibly through regional agreements, to expedite the transfer of victims to appropriate healthcare facilities.

**Augmenting Healthcare Facility’s Disaster Preparedness:**

As the Chief Operating Officer, I propose the following actions to augment our healthcare facility’s disaster preparedness:

1. **Training and Drills:** Conduct regular disaster response training and drills involving all staff to ensure they are familiar with their roles and responsibilities during a mass casualty incident.

2. **Resource Stockpiling:** Maintain a stockpile of essential medical supplies, medications, and equipment that can be rapidly deployed in emergencies.

3. **Community Engagement:** Strengthen partnerships with local law enforcement, emergency services, and other healthcare facilities to enhance coordination during disaster responses.

4. **Mental Health Resources:** Develop a comprehensive mental health support plan that includes access to counseling services for both victims and healthcare staff.

**Exercising Fayol’s Third Function of Management—Coordinating:**

To exercise Fayol’s Third Function of Management, coordinating, in enhancing our facility’s mass casualty preparedness, we will establish a dedicated disaster response team. This team will include representatives from various departments, such as medical, nursing, logistics, security, and communications. Their role will be to ensure seamless coordination of resources, communication, and actions during a mass casualty incident. Regular training and simulation exercises will be conducted to refine and improve the coordination process.

In conclusion, effective disaster response requires coordination, resource management, and preparedness. By identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the response to the 2017 Las Vegas Mass Shooting and implementing the suggested improvements, we can better prepare our healthcare facility for future challenges.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
Chief Operating Officer
[Your Healthcare Facility]

Topic: The reflective equilibrium is an ethical decision-making model. List three (3) ways that this model can assist you in making ethics-based decisions in health care settings. Do you find any of the other models mentioned useful?
Remember, an initial post (100-150 words) is required, as well as two (2) reply posts (>50 words), to reflect on fellow classmates’ interpretations and observations. Support one another by posting your initial comments earlier in the week, affording your fellow classmates the opportunity to reply in a timely manner.

The annotated bibliography requires that you annotate 10 references (or more if you prefer) according to the attached format. The purpose of this assignment is to keep you on track for completing your final paper, to get you to think through literature you are reading, and to help you organize your thoughts on the articles you read to help you hone your arguments and descriptions for your final paper. Two key recommendations:
1. NUMBER YOUR REFERENCES. Occasionally, students have lost count and have failed to turn in a set of at least 10 references.
2. Use literature from the last 10 years (from 2013 on). This is to ensure you are focused on timely and up-to-date evidence on any topic. Using literature older than this could result in a loss of points if it is referring to obsolete concepts or out-of-date scientific opinion.
Please see the attached document for the format for this assignment. You may simply create a similar table in Word, then copy and paste the table. Complete your annotations, add your name, save and submit. It is worth 40 points.
