How should an agency create a policy, while taking into account so many sociocultural factors, and not offend or bias a specific group?

Based upon your readings and any ancillary resources you research regarding decision-making, discuss the development and implementation of a policy in the criminal justice system that has been, or should be, introduced which is driven or impacted by social demographics and diversity in society. For example, a policy on dealing with gangs in a police department. Consider the following: Does evidence support paying special attention to Latinos, Blacks, Asians, Motorcycle gangs, etc.? If so, how would that influence the policy, the community, or stakeholders? How should an agency create a policy, while taking into account so many sociocultural factors, and not offend or bias a specific group? Address the issue, use supporting information, and conclude with your recommendations.

Discuss some possible hazard control measures that could be used to reduce risk.

Injury/Illness Prevention Case StudyAs the new Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) manager for the CSU Widget Factory, you recently completed a study of the injuries entered on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 300 form over the past 12 months. Your findings revealed the following:Eight employees were treated for various levels of heat strain during the summer months. Six were working indoors in the warehouse, and two were working outdoors doing grounds maintenance. All were first aid injuries.There were six forklift accidents that resulted in injuries:Three dropped loads struck nearby workers. All received first aid.One forklift flipped over going around a corner, ejecting the operator. The operator lost 10 days of work and was on restricted duty for 30 days.Two employees working in the warehouse aisles were struck by forklifts. Both were medical treatment injuries. Five electrical shocks were reported in the machine shop. All occurred during routine equipment maintenance. All were medical treatment injuries, but none resulted in days away from work.There were nine eye injuries in the machine shop. Five were foreign particles in the eye and four were machine oil splashes. All were reported as first aid injuries.Six employees in the plating shop were treated for inhalation of solvent vapors. Two resulted in lost workdays, and the others were medical treatment injuries. To reduce workplace injuries, select three program areas from the analysis above that should receive immediate attention. Select three OSH programs from the following:Heat Stress, Powered Industrial Vehicles, Material Handling and Storage, Hazardous Energy Control (Lockout / Tagout), Personal Protect Equipment (PPE), Respiratory Protection ProgramDiscuss why the specific OSH program area was selected.Explain how you would identify and assess the hazards related to this program area.Discuss some possible hazard control measures that could be used to reduce risk.Identify training requirements for the program area.Propose methods for ensuring employees comply with safety procedures.

Identify a theoretical framework/nursing theory that will guide your EBP project.

PurposeThis assignment provides the opportunity for the student to work on an identified area or phenomenon of interest and nursing concern/problem related to their MSN specialty track.NR505 Week 2 PICOT Worksheet Assignment. ( Uploaded).RequirementsDescription of the AssignmentThis assignment will allow the student to identify a nursing practice concern or problem within their chosen MSN specialty track. For this course, the selected practice concern or problem and nursing theory then serve as a foundation to the identification of PICOT question. Identification of the literature search terms will prepare you for your Week 7 assignment. The purpose of the assignments in this course is to translate evidence currently found in the literature into practice within the chosen MSN specialty track.Criteria for Content 1. Answer ALL the questions in the first section of the PICOT worksheet ( Uploaded).Identify your MSN Specialty Track ( Nurse Executive track)Describe the practice concern/problem.Why is this concern/problem important to nursing and healthcare?What is the scope of the concern?What evidence is there for the need for change?Include a minimum of two scholarly sources.NOTE: Do not rewrite/include the above questions in your template information.2. Define each element of your PICOT question in one or two sentences.P-Population and problem – What is the nursing practice concern or problem and whom does it affect?I-Intervention – What evidence-based solution for the problem would you like to apply?C-Comparison – what is another solution for the problem? Note that this is typically the current practice, no intervention at all, or an alternative solutions.O-Outcome – Very specifically, how will you know that the intervention worked? Think about how you will measure the outcome.T-Time frame – For the purpose of the EBP project, keep the timeframe within 6-8 weeks.NOTE: Do not rewrite/include the above questions in your template information.3.

Write a scientific topic that interests you, and then you will go beyond what is reported in the article by discussing the long range history ofCurrent Scientific Event.

In it you will look in the daily news for a scientific topic that interests you, and then you will go beyond what is reported in the article by discussing the long range history of this topic. There are many sources in which you can go to find a current events science story. Good examples of websites where you can find an article include:http://www.nytimes.com/pages/science/index.htmlhttp://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/http://www.sciencenews.org/http://news.sciencemag.org/http://www.scientificamerican.com/sciammag/The article must have an author and a publication date. Avoid selecting a topic which has very little history associated with it. Discuss at least a 50-year history.http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/thesis-statements/Technical and Formatting Requirements: With this assignment, you will learn how to do proper and adequate research and write a short paper with a central thesis statement. This paper is at least TWO complete double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12), not including bibliography or title page, and you must cite a minimum of THREE sources, in addition to the selected current events article. These sources are as follows:a. ONE primary source from the era in which you are writing about. As a reminder, a primary source “is a document or physical object which was written or created during the time under study. These sources were present during an experience or time period and offer an inside view of a particular event.” Click here to learn the difference between primary and secondary sources: https://apus.libanswers.com/faq/2299. Click here for how you find primary sources: https://apus.libanswers.com/faq/2319b. TWO scholarly secondary sources from peer reviewed journals or books. These must be from reputable publishers (such as university presses for books or databases like JSTOR) as found in the APUS library. What is a secondary source? “A secondary source interprets and analyzes primary sources. These sources are one or more steps removed from the event.” Web sites are not approved research for this assignment. Exceptions are scholarly websites and documents available through the APUS Online Library (Wikipedia and other sources like it are not considered a valid academic source).
