The three components of EBP include clinical expertise, best evidence, and patient preference. Often, patient preference and clinical expertise are at odds with each other. Describe a scenario where you might need to mediate this issue and what is the solution when this occurs. It can be a real-life example as well. Requires at least one professional nursing journal to use. No less that 400 words. Simple assignment.

For your formal writing, you will choose one of these three options. You will see that each of them is partly a revision of something you wrote for an informal writing and partly an extension of that initial writing. You are welcome to write on any of these three topics, but you need to make sure there is not a great deal of overlap between your formal writing choice and your Wiki Entry assignment. You likely scored well on your informal writing, and you also likely received written feedback on it (in fact, you may want to favor the informal writings that got more detailed feedback from me for revision into a formal writing). That written feedback, available in the Blackboard gradebook (and in the most useful form if you submitted a doc or pdf that I commented on directly) should guide you first to make sure you’ve done all you can with your initial informal writing. If something could have been better before, this is your chance to revise it. Formal writing differs from informal writing in that it conforms to all the standards of academic writing that you learned in English 101 and 102. That means following MLA format, developing ideas in stout paragraphs with meaningful breaks, and directing readers to follow your argument through meaningful transitions. It also means having a central thesis that responds to the prompt, then supporting that claim with a series of related claims about literary texts which you develop through analysis of literary evidence. Nuts and Bolts The initial draft of your formal writing is due Thursday, July 20. The final draft of your formal writing is due Thursday, July 27. Between the first draft and the final draft, you will receive written feedback from me intended to guide your revision process. Prompts You will choose one of these three to do. You will not do all three of these. 1. When an author lavishes attention on something seemingly unimportant, you should pay close attention. For instance, in “The Guest,” Camus pays more attention to the landscape than you might expect an author of a philosophical tale to do. Look at the paragraph that starts “For some time” on 183. What thematic resonance do you detect in this description of the landscape? If this is more than a beautiful description, what else is it? This informal writing is asking you to use the skills of close reading to connect the descriptive language applied to the landscape in this passage to the larger themes of Camus’s “The Guest.” You need to make a claim that responds to a common view of the story. You are writing for an audience that is not sure these details matter at all, so you’re writing back to a common view that would say something like “this story has lots of pointless details about landscape, and it would be better if Camus just deleted those parts.” You need to support your claim, which is a response to that common view, with observations of detail from Camus’s story. Formal transition To your close reading of Camus, which you will revise according to feedback you received from me on informal writing one, you will add Gogol’s “The Overcoat.” You are now writing about both stories for the same kind of skeptical audience you wrote for the first time around. You need to make a claim about the importance of descriptive language dedicated to setting, and that thesis needs to allow you to address the different ways in which Camus and Gogol use descriptions of settings in their stories to express their larger themes. Your paper needs to closely read descriptions of settings in both stories, and it needs to compare and/or contrast them in order to provide a synthesis that convinces your skeptical reader that setting imagery is important in both of these stories. 2. When you wrote about “Young Goodman Brown” in informal writing three, one element you addressed was the ambiguity the story explores as it opens gaps between Brown’s experience and what the narrator implies must actually be the case. One instance of that is when the narrator describes the fellow-traveler’s staff wriggling like a snake but then says, “This, of course, must have been an ocular deception, assisted by the uncertain light” (529). For your informal writing, you explained the effect of that instance of ambiguity and at least one other instance in the story. Formal transition In addition to revising your take on “Young Goodman Brown,” you will select one other story from our readings this semester in which the author put you in a position where you had to hesitate or question the accuracy of impressions or sensations reported by the characters. Now that you have two stories to work with, you will compare and contrast how they establish that ambiguity and what you think it ultimately means. Your paper will need a thesis statement that will prove something to readers that they didn’t know before about how and why ambiguity works in “Young Goodman Brown” and your second chosen story. 3. In informal writing five, you applied Frank O’Connor’s idea of the little man and the submerged community to Jones and Gogol. Formal transition Choose two stories other than those by Jones and Gogol in which the little man or the submerged population is present. Demonstrate that aspect of the story with reference to O’Connor’s concepts and show how it works there. Choose one more story in which the little man or the submerged population is NOT present. For that story, demonstrate how a more traditional hero is at its center. Your formal writing needs to have a thesis that synthesizes what you’ve found by considering these two stories that work with O’Connor’s ideas and one that works against it.

Sociology Essay : You are to observe (10 hours), record & interpret a social situation (the environment, material culture, people, what they do, say, feel, how it smells- use all of your senses!). Making Observations 1) Pick a scene new or unfamiliar to you. It should be a setting where you have a right to be there. Stay a few hours to observe what people do, see, feel, smell, what it sounds like. 2) If it is an event, plan to stay the entire event (begin, middle and end) 3) How people enter and exit scene may be important 4) Pay attention to the physical surroundings, environment, artifacts, 5) You might note the ethnic affiliation, gender and age of participants but make this a small part of it – you are there to observe what people do. 6) Note people’s responses to change, 7) If note taking is not possible, go to a place right afterwards and type up your observations. The sooner the better. You will forget the important details. 8) If possible, try and interview or talk with someone casually. 9) You might repeat visit if you have that opportunity – people notice more once they get the hang of it. 10) Do not get yourself in a situation you cannot easily handle. Act ethically to other people. Do not do this assignment in a vacuum. Rather, discuss it in class, talk about it with friends, come talk to me, test out your interpretation and get feedback. 11) Last…have fun! Paper Writing Directions: I. Introduce your topic: what are you going to write about and why did you choose it? You might provide some background to tell me about this. II. Record and describe a social situation to the fullest you can. Do not leave out details but describe it to the fullest you can, do not evaluate it yet. a) You might go to a Fair, celebration, demonstration, rally, active college social event, community co-op, church event b) Include what people do and at least one object (house, clothes, ceremonial object, food, and building) III. Analyze it: that is evaluate the social situation based on criteria you select This means you are going to evaluate the social situation in which you observed people doing something….according to criteria you find interesting. It can be social status, rank, economics, reciprocity, political situation, descent, kinship, status, as a form of religious practice, etc. Examples: a) You might consider looking at your social situation for evidence of status or political preference, ethnicity, community. b) You might analyze a celebration you attend in your community. How is this social event a representation of American culture? IV. Interpret: Finally, explain why your observations are important given the context of the situation Remember! Please do not do this in a vacuum – come talk to me and share it with friends. Someone else may have insight into that situation you had not considered, that helps you make sense of what you observed you are observing. *Hint 1 – use people’s behavior and the material remains (i.e., the artifacts they used and wore like clothing, personal objects, toys, homes, ceramics, agricultural tools etc) to help illustrate your points) *Hint 2- you might consider looking at the chapters in the text for terms and issues that are important to you! SUMMARY: Social Science Paper Format: I. Introduction – define the topic, what you are doing this on, and justify this (why did you choose this topic? Last provide some background information to the reader. Assume I know nothing about this topic at all. II. Human Observations all of your unbiased observations on what people are doing in this scene.

You are expected to include diagram(s) in your answers. You must draw them yourself.

The assignment must be a completed paper, with APA formatting, all sections complete (using Roman numerals of each section per the outline)
Scenario: you are working for a company that produces small and medium sized coolers. Typical application is for outdoor picnics. Currently all the production and distribution happens out of a facility on the East Coast. Your company has had challenges reaching the customers on the West Coast as a result of the high freight rates, due low density of the product. The marketing manager tried to mitigate this competitive disadvantage by freight equalization; so that end customers would pay the same amount of shipping costs as the West Coast competition charged, regardless of where they were located. This met with some insignificant success because timeliness of delivery was another important issue. However, this did affect the margins negatively since the company now is taking the hit for the less-than-truck-load shipments to West Coast customers.
CEO of the company asked you assess 3 options and to give your recommendation on the way the company should progress:
• Keep the current setup, continue shipping products from the East Coast facility and distribution center westward;
• Contract a distribution facility on the West Coast to ship full truck loads from the factory there, thus distributing to the final customers using less-than-truck-loads; or
• Establish both a production facility and the distribution facility on the West Coast. One complication with that is the fact that all the raw materials are still coming from the East Coast.
Deliverables:
Section I: Introduction (200 words)
State the problem at hand and alternatives. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of the distributing products from multiple locations based on your research?
Section II: Manufacturing operations flows (300 words)
Discuss the product flows in the manufacturing environment. What are the steps involved in producing the order and shipping it the customer. List the activities and rough timelines. What are some of the risks behind not completing certain activity on time (hint: think of the customer impact)
Section III: Metrics to Assess Success (250 words)
What are some of the reasons to measure the performance metrics (KPIs)? List 4 specific metrics to access success, be as specific as possible. How would the metrics be measured? Do you believe they should be shared with employees?
For this assignment, you will identify 2 subjective, qualitative factors and discuss 2 quantitative factors to consider. Once you have explained each select the one out of each, qualitative and quantitative listed that you recommend most. What factors may affect the demand for the product in the future? Provide citations and references to support your information.
Section IV: International Influences and considerations (500-700 words)
Describe the international influences on logistics and the considerations in regard to managing the supply chain that stretches internationally. What opportunities would going international afford your scenario? What are the risks involved with including international considerations in your scenario?
Section V: Quantitative Factors (Excel Spreadsheet)
Use this template to show your numeric calculations. Without calculations shown for how you reached your conclusion, section V will earn 0 points. Fill out the Excel template attached. Discuss your findings. You must attach the table to your paper in Appendix or as a separate file to get the credit for this part. Additional data for your recommendation is below:
1. The products are primarily medium- and large-size insulated coolers, like you might use for a picnic or trip to the beach. Each cooler occupies 2 cubic feet of trailer truck space; trailers are 10 x 10 x 40’ long and cost $1,000 to ship from the East Coast to the West Coast.
2. Based on this information, the added freight cost to get raw materials to a West Coast manufacturing location would be $0.20, $0.20, and $0.60 per finished-good unit, respectively.
3. The mass merchandiser location on the West Coast will be purchasing 10,000 units per week, but in lots of only 1,000 at a time because of their retail store space constraints.
4. The raw materials to make this product are bulky, and inbound shipping from the suppliers to the manufacturing plant represents 20% of total raw material costs. These raw materials are supplied in the United States from the East Coast; they are not available elsewhere.
5. In the past, to keep West Coast customers happy, the CEO agreed to freight equalize customer shipping charges to be competitive with West Coast competition. She says that they only charge those customers the local freight cost of shipping, which is $200 per delivery for anything up to half-truckload quantities.
Consider the Sourcing role, how could sourcing influence and/or enable the above considerations? Would sourcing be a viable option?
Section VI: Conclusion (200 words)
What is your conclusion based on what you have discussed in the paper. What option do you recommend the company to pursue? What are the most important points that you want the CEO to understand about this entire decision-making process?
