Describe and analyze a human resource/organizational problem(s) and recommend an organizational development strategy (ies).

You have been hired as a consultant (to your current organization, previous organization, or a fictional organization). Describe and analyze a human resource/organizational problem(s) and recommend an organizational development strategy (ies). Provide a rationale as to why you think this approach will help. This will require a practitioner analysis of the organizational problem of interest and an academic literature review of similar organizational problems and organizational development strategy (ies) that you believe will be most beneficial in solving the problem. Also, provide an evaluation plan for the proposed intervention(s). The plan should have the following headings: Problem Identification Description of the organization Context of the problem: How do you know it’s a problem? Specifically what is the problem (select from list below)? Turnover Job Satisfaction Diversity Performance Appraisals Downsizing Training & Development Needs Assessment and Diagnosis Data collection Data analysis Proposed Organization Development Interventions/Strategy(ies) Required resources Timeline Anticipated resistance Potential benefit(s), i.e. cost savings Suggested Evaluation Approach

Describe the value the new product or service will provide to customers and describe the need it will meet.

In Phase 2, your team will work together to develop a detailed description and implementation plan for the innovation you selected to pursue in Module 3. Each team member must research and describe a product development or management process, methodology, or model that could be utilized to implement the innovation. The group should select and use one of these models for developing its own implementation plan. For this assignment, write a paper of 2,000-3,000 words that addresses the following: 1. Finalize the name and include a one- or two-sentence description of the innovation. 2. Describe the value the new product or service will provide to customers and describe the need it will meet. 3.

Describe strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence.

The unapproved use of approved drugs, also called off-label use, with children is quite common. This is because pediatric dosage guidelines are typically unavailable, since very few drugs have been specifically researched and tested with children.

When treating children, prescribers often adjust dosages approved for adults to accommodate a child’s weight. However, children are not just “smaller” adults. Adults and children process and respond to drugs differently in their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

 

Children even respond differently during stages from infancy to adolescence. This poses potential safety concerns when prescribing drugs to pediatric patients. As an advanced practice nurse, you have to be aware of safety implications of the off-label use of drugs with this patient group.

  • Review the interactive media piece in this week’s Resources and reflect on the types of drugs used to treat pediatric patients with mood disorders.
  • Reflect on situations in which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use.
  • Think about strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence. Consider specific off-label drugs that you think require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.
  • Explain the circumstances under which children should be prescribed drugs for off-label use. Be specific and provide examples.
  • Describe strategies to make the off-label use and dosage of drugs safer for children from infancy to adolescence.
  • Include descriptions and names of off-label drugs that require extra care and attention when used in pediatrics.
  • Please use the rubric to formulate your assignment.
