RESPONSE:
Picking one or two is becoming more and more difficult. The strongest point I connected with in this reading was from lead across principle four. The quote “say what you mean, and mean what you say” (Maxwell, p.187) struck out at me. Family and partner relationships are a perfect example of this. I have always been told to be careful what I say and in most cases I bite my tongue. If you do not mean what you say, it should not be said, even in the heat of the moment. I have witnessed my family fall apart over something that was said. The unfortunate part was that the member who said it, did mean it. He lost the respect of those who heard the truth. Another thing relating to is if you say it and don’t mean it, it could be so easy for an accident to happen and for you to lose the one that you said whatever it is you said to. If you didn’t mean it and they thought you did, you would live in guilt. A movie character that represents this could be Thumper from Bambi; “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say nothing at all”. Thumper’s quote can also tie into my next point; “People always move toward someone who increases them and away from anyone who decreases them” (Maxwell, p.162). When you constantly have someone being negative and bringing you down, you tend to stray away. However, when you find someone who you vibe with, you continue to grow and they have a positive impact on your life. For example, my best friend from middle school and I drifted apart due to her negative attitude and outlook on life. As I started focusing on being more positive and ignoring her side of everything, I found my current best friend of 7 years. We help each other with everything, and we always are up to try something new and to adventure. We have a positive impact on one another and seem to become more knowledgeable and gain more experiences around one another. The final point that I would like to discuss is that “Winning at all costs will cost you when it comes to your peers” (Maxwell, p.170). No one likes someone that constantly has to one up them. These people are not involving themselves in healthy competition and are creating an environment where one may feel as if they are never good enough. For example, my mother used to be hardcore about my sports life. She was so focused on winning that I had lost the ability to have fun and in return it made me lose my motivation to want to do it. I didn’t care to win because I did not care about winning in the sport after the fun had been taken out of it. If you attempt to be a perfectionist on everything, you will lose become disappointed and lose people when you get angry it is not done in the perfect fashion. These three different points have caused me to have different perspectives and to think before you speak, which is a great quality of a leader. By allowing for positivity and honesty characteristics, you allow for more room for growth and respect. In return, exceptional leaders are developed.

Carleton is diagnosed with hypertensive heart disease with heart failure. How should you determine which code or codes to assign in this case? [Tips: Think about the code for the hypertensive heart disease, what code would you choose and why? Secondly, would we want to include an appropriate heart failure code, if so, what code would you choose and why?]
What is the difference between the selection of the principal diagnosis for inpatients vs. outpatients? [Tips: Inpatient, selection of the principal diagnosis is based on the reason (fill in the blanks ___ _____). For an outpatient, selection of the principal diagnosis (the primary diagnosis) is based on the reason (fill in the blanks___ ___ ______).
HOW TO ANSWER
Determining the appropriate ICD-10 codes for Carleton’s diagnosis of hypertensive heart disease with heart failure involves understanding the coding guidelines and principles. Here’s how you should approach it:
Hypertensive Heart Disease (ICD-10 Code Selection): First, you would assign a code for hypertensive heart disease. The appropriate code for hypertensive heart disease is typically found in the ICD-10-CM coding manual under the category I11. This category includes codes for hypertensive heart disease with heart failure and without heart failure, depending on the specific diagnosis.
If Carleton’s condition includes heart failure, you would choose a code from the I11 category. The specific code will depend on the type and severity of heart failure, which should be documented by the healthcare provider. For example, if Carleton has congestive heart failure, you might choose I11.0 for hypertensive heart disease with heart failure and congestive heart failure.
If Carleton’s condition does not involve heart failure, you would choose a code from the I11 category that corresponds to hypertensive heart disease without heart failure. For example, I11.9 is a general code for hypertensive heart disease without heart failure.
Heart Failure Code (ICD-10 Code Selection): If Carleton’s condition includes heart failure, you should also assign a separate code for heart failure. Heart failure codes are typically found in the I50 category. The specific code chosen would depend on the type and severity of heart failure, as documented by the healthcare provider.
For example, if Carleton has congestive heart failure, you might choose a code from the I50 category that corresponds to congestive heart failure (e.g., I50.9 for congestive heart failure, unspecified).
Now, regarding the difference between selecting the principal diagnosis for inpatients vs. outpatients:
Inpatient Setting: In the inpatient setting, the principal diagnosis is based on the condition chiefly responsible for the patient’s admission to the hospital. It is the condition that requires the most resources and healthcare services during the hospital stay. The principal diagnosis is used for billing and reimbursement purposes and should be documented in the patient’s medical record by the attending physician.
Outpatient Setting: In the outpatient setting, the principal diagnosis (also known as the primary diagnosis) is based on the reason for the outpatient encounter or visit. It is the condition that is the primary focus of the visit, examination, or treatment on that specific day. The principal diagnosis in the outpatient setting is used for coding and billing purposes.
In both settings, accurate coding is crucial for proper healthcare reimbursement and for maintaining accurate medical records. However, the criteria for determining the principal diagnosis differ, as outlined above, based on the setting and purpose of the encounter.

Case Scenario:
The nurse manager of a medical–surgical unit has a budgeted ADC of 20. A new vascular surgeon has been admitting patients to the unit, which is requiring an increase in nursing care to treat these additional patients. The current budgeted HPPD is 7.59. You have been monitoring the number of patients with the higher acuity in anticipation of budget planning.
You have been reviewing reports, and over the past 6 months since the surgeon came on board you notice an unfavorable salary variance. You also have been tracking the actual census, and the ADC on average remains at 20; however, six of the patients have higher acuity. You are proposing the configuration of the unit is changing to a blended model with an overall ADC of 20. The blend is 70% medical–surgical (ADC and 30% stepdown (6 ADC).
Answer the following Questions below along with 2 peer responses.
You need to discuss the issues with the nurse leader you report to.
1. What discussion points should you plan to cover? Will there be a need for additional FTE caregivers to care for the change in acuity? If so, how many FTEs? Have you been staffing above the staffing guideline using OT?
2. The assumption is you are using OT to cover the additional clinical requirements. Financial reports indicate for the 6-month period OT expense is $125,000, which is unfavorable to the budget. What are your recommendations? Compare the cost of OT used over the past 6 months with the cost of hiring the additional RNs.
3. Develop a revised staffing grid. (very basic does not need to be complex)

Introduction
“Addiction is the only prison where the locks are on the inside”(Unknown ). Addiction completely controls people as if they are chained and they are free. Addiction is a habit routine to a particular substance thing, or a habit routine to a particular alternate thing, or activity. It is important to know what is an addiction because we learn through it so don’t make the same mistake. Any addicted person affects himself and his family addiction. Treatment includes a combination of psychological behavioral therapy, social support, and medication. Three very important topics for understanding this addiction are general addiction effect addiction and treatment of addiction.
Body 1
To begin, there are a big number of different addictions be general a lot of them are in bad form. First of all, Maureen a researcher experience addiction , gave the example, “addiction is a biopsy Chosocial disorder .it s a combination of your genetics,your newrobislogy and how that interacts with psychological and social factors “(Maureen).Maureen says ,this quote refers to the mufti dimensional nature of addiction and provides a comprehensive Boyle states that addiction is a two dimensional disorder that is biologically,psychological and social. Second, addiction is increase the chemical in our brain as sheikh. Explain and give the example.”what’s common across all substance and behavioral addictions is their stunning ability to increase levels of an important chemical in the brain called dopamine “Boyle said, this quote reflects the importance of dopamine in understanding the reward system in the brain, which explains the feeling of reward and the constant desire to consume addiction substances or engage in addictive behaviors. Finally, addiction to drugs is more important than actual pleasure as the sheik states.” the desire for the drug becomes more important than the actual pleasure it provides. And because dopamine plays a key role in learning and memory, it harms the need for additional substance or experience into the brain”(Morikawa). Morikawa says, here the quote indicates that dopamine plays a critical role in forming memories of addiction and linking the need for the addictive substance or addictive experience in the brain.
Body 2
Also, there are many effects of cellphone addiction. First of all, she said she had been affected by the phone since.” She answered her iPhone since she was 11 sounding as if she had just worked up”(Jean M) this quote shows, this girl was addicted to a phone to listen to songs and also to tv programs and for this reason, it affects her childhood, because of her addiction to the phone. Seconds, Athena had effects on the phone. Athena said, because she’s a minor, I’m not using her real name. She told me she spent most of the summer hanging out alone in her room with her phone. This quote means Athena said because Snapchat and her phone were affecting her life isolated herself in the room all the time optical explant about student college.” with growing capabilities, cellphones are a constant source of class distraction”. This quote shows that the use of many mobile phones affects the study of undergraduate students.
Body 3
There are many types of cell phone addiction, but also there are methods to help on cell phone addiction for example, in an article (Trying to detox from cell phone addiction) by Sohn Emely “every year husband And I take our kids on a tour for a week, that trip differs from our other vacations in on significant way, we completely unplug from the internet”. This means that it is a good way to rest our brains from social media and screens every now and then. Secondly, in an article Secondly in an article named are cell phones addiction, Argentine, Cindy states, “our stress levels are constantly higher, our language is changing at rapid place, and even our social interactions are very different”. The quote is inspiring because we have become worse people, therefore we need to change our habits to words with each other. Third, in this quote about cell phones, Michelle reasoned that if people are addicted to cell phones, then without them would cause withdrawal symptoms”. To help with withdrawal symptoms, people can use coping mechanisms which means getting distracted by doing activities such as reading a book or taking a walk.finally This would be about “change habits are so powerful they create neurological cravings.” This quote means we need to change our habits by using other effective methods such as getting together with family members and having a conversation without the use of cell phones.

analyze U.S. healthcare systems, create a plan for lowering costs, while at the same time improving quality and access.
the outcome of this assignment will be your plan to lower healthcare costs, while at the same time increasing quality and access. The plan will include specific suggestions for how this could be done and your explanation for why you think each suggestion would help. .
Here are some issues to consider when thinking through your plan:
Why does healthcare cost more in the U.S. compared to every other country? Consider things such as: the structure of our system, for-profit organizations, amount of healthcare we use, salaries of healthcare workers, drug costs, long-term care costs, administrative overhead, costs for tests, multi-level payment systems, etc.
What can we learn from other countries that have lower costs and good quality and access?
How are recent healthcare trends affecting costs, quality and access? Which trends will we need to counteract? Which ones can we take advantage of? And, how could we do this?
Additional Guidelines and Advice
Most of the paper will be written in paragraph form, but you can include bulleted lists or tables if you find it useful for explaining certain parts.
Students always ask: how many pages? It will not be graded by length. However, I doubt you could do a thorough job addressing these big issues in less than two pages.
You are encouraged to do some additional reading to expand your thinking. You MUST reference any outside reading from which you got ideas. (NONE OF THE PAPER SHOULD BE COPIED FROM ELSEWHERE. ALL OF THE WRITING MUST BE YOUR OWN WORDS. NO QUOTING OF OTHER’S WORK. ANY COPYING WILL SEVERELY HURT YOUR GRADE).
Saying that “the government will pay for XYZ” is not a solution. Remember we are already “paying” too much–just switching from having individuals or employers or government pay a different percentage of the cost is not a solution.
I am looking for “real life” solutions–not wishful thinking. For example, we can’t simply tell hospitals to be more efficient and magically, expect big cost savings (most hospitals are already trying to be efficient). It’s OK if your suggestions will take a long time to show an effect–sometimes lasting improvements do. It’s also OK to change laws or policies to have improvement–again, sometimes these sort of changes are necessary. Just must sure it is realistic–voters will resist if you try too hard to force them or take too much of their free will away.
Please support your ideas with logically reasoning as to why you think they will help and/or examples illustrating how it would work.
A useful way to organize your thinking is to group your ideas in steps. For instance:
First, XYZ is a problem… I think one possible solution would be… This should work because… An example of this would be…
Second, ABC is also a concern…
etc.
