Many nurses are very concerned about what lies in the future of their careers. Each generation has their challenges, but this generation will probably always remember COVID-19. As nurses, we had to reflect on what happened during those days and we needed to soul search because of what we had to confront as nurses. Some of you are on the front lines of this pandemic taking care of patients that are affected.
Instructions:
Go to the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) website and read about moral distress.
Please share a couple of experiences that you may have had or that you may imagine that you would have caring for a patient with COVID-19

Example: It really disturbs me that a person that is dying cannot communicate with their family. As a proponent of palliative care and hospice and all the ideas connected to this I am adamantly against any person going through the dying process without family present. This has really disturbed me to the point that I am personally dealing with feelings of distress that I cannot come up with an answer.

Distinguish between moral distress, burnout and compassion fatigue. Classify the example that is given above.
Read the AACN Position Statement: Moral Distress in Times of Crisis. Comment on the AACN Position Statement. Do you believe the same things about moral distress. What do you believe?

How would you use your relationships with the student, family members, and professional colleagues to prevent this behavior from reoccurring?

ANSWER
**Scenario 1: A student is constantly disruptive in class, talking out of turn and making noises.**

**Interventions or actions:**

* **Talk to the student privately to understand the underlying cause of their behavior.** Are they bored? Are they struggling with the material? Are they feeling frustrated? Once I understand the cause of the behavior, I can develop a more targeted intervention.
* **Set clear expectations for behavior and provide regular feedback.** I would explain to the student what behaviors are acceptable and unacceptable in class, and I would provide them with feedback on their behavior on a regular basis.
* **Use positive reinforcement to encourage appropriate behavior.** When the student is behaving appropriately, I would praise them and let them know that I appreciate their effort.
* **Use logical consequences to discourage disruptive behavior.** For example, if the student is constantly talking out of turn, I might ask them to sit quietly for a few minutes.

**Logical consequences:**

* **Ask the student to sit quietly for a few minutes.** This will give them a chance to calm down and refocus.
* **Send the student to the hallway to cool off.** This will help them to remove themselves from the situation and avoid escalating the problem.
* **Give the student a detention.** This will send a message that their behavior is unacceptable and that there are consequences for their actions.

**Social-Emotional Learning domains:**

* **Self-awareness:** I would help the student to develop self-awareness by teaching them how to identify and manage their emotions. This would help them to understand why they are behaving disruptively and to develop more appropriate coping mechanisms.
* **Self-management:** I would help the student to develop self-management skills by teaching them how to set goals, manage their time, and stay focused. This would help them to be more successful in school and to avoid disruptive behaviors.
* **Relationship skills:** I would help the student to develop relationship skills by teaching them how to communicate effectively, resolve conflict peacefully, and build positive relationships with others. This would help them to interact with their classmates and teachers in a more positive way.

**How I would use my relationships with the student, family members, and professional colleagues to prevent this behavior from reoccurring:**

* **Talk to the student’s family members about the behavior.** I would work with the family to develop a plan to support the student in changing their behavior.
* **Meet with my professional colleagues to discuss the behavior.** I would get their feedback on the situation and brainstorm ideas for how to address the problem.
* **Continue to build a positive relationship with the student.** I would make sure that the student feels supported and respected in my classroom. I would also provide them with opportunities to succeed and to feel good about themselves.

**Scenario 2: A student is struggling academically and is starting to give up.**

**Interventions or actions:**

* **Meet with the student to assess their needs.** I would find out what subjects they are struggling with and why. I would also talk to them about their goals for school.
* **Develop a personalized learning plan for the student.** The plan would identify the student’s strengths and weaknesses, and it would outline specific goals and strategies for improvement.
* **Provide the student with extra support and resources.** I would offer the student extra tutoring, study time, and access to other resources.
* **Encourage the student to set realistic goals.** I would help the student to break down their goals into smaller, more manageable steps.
* **Celebrate the student’s successes.** It is important to recognize the student’s progress, even if it is small. This will help them to stay motivated and to continue working hard.

**Logical consequences:**

* **If the student is not completing their work, I might give them a warning.** If the behavior continues, I might give them a detention or require them to complete extra work.
* **If the student is not participating in class, I might ask them to stay after class to complete missed assignments or to answer questions.**

**Social-Emotional Learning domains:**

* **Self-efficacy:** I would help the student to develop self-efficacy by teaching them how to set goals, break down tasks into smaller steps, and celebrate their successes. This would help them to believe in their ability to succeed academically.
* **Resilience:** I would help the student to develop resilience by teaching them how to cope with setbacks and failures. This would help them to stay motivated and to continue working hard, even when things are tough.
* **Motivation:** I would help the student to develop motivation by helping them to identify their interests and strengths. I would also help them to set realistic goals and to develop a plan for achieving those goals.

1. Write two emails introducing yourself in a professional workplace setting to two different characters from the scenario below.
2. Demonstrate in a written analysis how each introductory message is adapted to the audience you are addressing.
3. Use the RRM3 D268 Task 1 Template located in the Supporting Documents section below the rubric as a guide to complete this task.
SCENARIO
You work for a corporation with multiple branches across the United States. You have been called to the East Coast headquarters to work on a training program that will be used nationwide. You will be meeting your team members—who come from various branches—for the first time and would like to communicate with them to introduce yourself before arriving. The following list has important information to know about each of their work cultures.
The team is as follows:
• Sarah: At Sarah’s branch at company headquarters, her team values time, efficiency, and direct communication. She typically plans out every minute of her day and expects meetings to have clear agendas with concise information about daily tasks. The culture is low context and values certainty and formality. Sarah has worked in the organization for nearly 20 years.

• Joe: At the company’s Southeast branch, Joe’s team values a relaxed and informal atmosphere. He and his colleagues focus a lot of energy on developing genuine relationships and trust. Joe and his coworkers use a high-context communication style. Joe is the newest hire out of this branch but has been working in the organization for 10 years.

• Blake: At Blake’s branch in the Southwest, his team values collaborating, sharing work, and equally contributing to ideas. The culture tends to focus on equal distribution of workload and people who desire to improve the success of the overall group. They generally communicate in a nonassertive manner. Blake has been working in the organization for 30 years.

• Talia: At Talia’s branch in the Midwest, the culture is friendly and warm. People are very supportive of each other and value kindness and expressions of appreciation. They, at times, have difficulty communicating criticism. They are largely assertive and uncomfortable with silence. Talia was recently promoted, and she has worked for the organization for 5 years.

• Mei: At Mei’s West Coast branch, employees can work in the office building, outside on patios, or on lawn spaces. Their workplace culture is individualistic, and people focus on direct communication. In Mei’s office, workers appreciate diverse and novel ideas. They value discussion and are comfortable with ambiguity. Mei is a recent graduate, and this is their first year at the organization.
