Selecting a Policy Analysis FrameworkThe goal of policy analysis is to provide in-depth, relevant, and evaluative information about a policy. Using a framework as a guideline for the analysis provides scaffolding for logically and carefully considering the policy issue. To select a framework, one should consider the focus of the policy being analyzed and whether the policy is intended to be predictive or prescriptive. For this Discussion, you will choose a policy issue that is important to you and after evaluating the frameworks described in the Learning Resources, select the framework most appropriate for analyzing the issue.To prepare:Reflect      on your understanding of the policy process: how policy is formulated,      adopted, implemented, and evaluated.Review      the various frameworks presented in this week’s Learning Resources and      consider how they are applied to nursing and health policies. How do they      assist you in understanding and shaping policy?Brainstorm      a list of the issues that are most important to your practice (these can be      issues at the institutional, local, state, national, or international      level). Then identify a specific nursing or health care policy related to      one key issue and consider which of the frameworks you would use to      examine the issue.Note: You may not select the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for this analysis.By tomorrow 03//2018, write a minimum of 550 words in APA format with at least 3 scholarly references from the list of required readings below. Include the level one headings as numbered below”Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:1) Identify the policy you have selected.2) Describe the framework that you would use for this particular issue and provide your rationale.3) At what other stages in the policy process might an analysis framework provide guidance?Required ReadingsBlackman, V.

Prepare a 3–4-page report on nurse-patient communication in which you  address types of communication, factors that influence the  communication experience, and how the patient experience affects health  outcomes. Recommend evidence-based strategies to improve nurse-patient  communication and explain how the strategies consider patient  demographics.Nursing professionals do not only communicate with others within  their organizations—often, they are also the first point of contact with  patients. Thus, nursing professionals need superior communication  skills to explain procedures and medication instructions, as well as to  listen to what patients need to say.Clark and Paraska (2014) suggest that understanding how people  communicate is the first step in learning how to teach patients more  effective methods of listening, self-awareness, and self-expression—and  also in identifying barriers in communication. The process of  communication can be difficult, as we can interpret meaning based on a  variety of hidden messages—some conscious and intentional—some not.ReferenceClark, C. C., & Paraska, K. K. (2014).  Health promotion for nurses: A practical guide. Burlington, MA: Jones & Bartlett.Imagine that, in an effort to reduce the number of patient complaints  about nursing staff, organizational leadership has asked your  department to prepare some preliminary research on a number of different  topics. Your topic is patient communication, such as the following:The types of communication that take place between nurses and patients.The factors that can influence both positive and negative experiences.How the experience can impact health care outcomes.Strategies that can improve the communication between nurses and patients.PreparationSearch the Capella library and the Internet for peer-reviewed  journal articles or other professional resources on the topic of  effective communication with patients. You will need at least 3  resources to support your work in this assessment.DirectionsPrepare a report on patient-nurse communication in which you include the following:Describe the types of communication that take place between  nurses and clients/patients. Do not forget to consider types of  communication beyond verbal and written on paper.Explain the factors that influence positive and negative  experiences during the communication process. (Hint: Consider the  experiences of both the client/patient and the nurse. Also, consider  things such as age, gender, culture, and so on, of both the  client/patient and the nurse.)Explain how the client/patient experience can impact health care outcomes.Recommend evidence-based strategies for improving communication between client/patients and nurses.Explain how the strategies consider different client/patient demographics.Format this assessment as a report that you would give to your  supervisor. It may be helpful for you to review how your organization  formats internal reports and incorporate your findings. You are still  required to adhere to APA guidelines for in-text citations and  references, as well as for formatting your reference page.Additional RequirementsInclude a title page and a reference page.Ensure your assessment is 3–4 pages in length.Use double-spaced, 12-pt., Times New Roman font.

In this scenario, hackers launch cyber attacks that affect several parts of the nation’s financial infrastructure over the course of several weeks. Specifically, sensitive credit card processing facilities are hacked and numbers are released to the Internet, causing 120 million cards to be cancelled; automated teller machines (ATMs) fail nearly simultaneously across the nation; major companies report payroll checks are not being received by workers; and several large pension and mutual fund companies have computer malfunctions so severe that they are unable to operate for more than a week. Identify the countermeasures that need to be implemented to prevent these cyber attacks from occurring in the future.Start a discussion thread and discuss what type(s) of countermeasures need to be implemented to prevent the cyber attack described above from occurring in the future. Be specific in recommending countermeasures for this scenario.discuss what type(s) of countermeasures need to be implemented to prevent the cyber attack described above from occurring in the future.
