What is the purpose of a National Provider Identifier (NPI)?

Directions In your initial post, respond to the following questions. Include links to the information available online. These sources will be counted in place of evidence-based resources for this discussion. 1-What is the purpose of a National Provider Identifier (NPI)? How do you apply for one, including the application forms, process, cost, and length of time it takes for issuance? 2-How do you apply for an APRN license, including the application forms, educational requirements, cost, and time frame? 3-Do you plan to obtain a DEA license? Why or why not? How do you apply for a DEA license, including the application forms, educational requirements, cost, and time frame? How does the presence or absence of a DEA license affect your practice as an APRN? 4-Does the Nurse Practice Act of the state you plan to practice in have geographical, communication, and prescription restrictions? What implications does this have for your PMHNP practice? How is this tracked in the event of an audit?

The Leadership Analysis Paper

The Leadership Analysis Paper should be approximately 3–4 pages long, not counting the cover page or references list. nclude the following: Comprehension: Share the findings of the questionnaire. Application: Of the six dimensions in the questionnaire (trait, ability, skill, behavior, relationship, and process), which one is the most similar to your own perspective? Which one is least like your own perspective? Analysis/Synthesis: What do the scores you received on the questionnaire suggest about your perspective on leadership? Evaluation: What do your scores imply about your view of nurses as leaders versus managers? How are the results of this questionnaire beneficial to you as a leader? Please refer to the Grading Rubric for details on how this activity will be graded.

business ethics, Strategy, Strategic Plan and Business Model.

Introduction: Rather than a long intro paragraph, start your summary with an engaging statement that lures your audience to crave the advice information you will be providing in your report. Part I – Shift your approach from a summary essay to a more succinct professional advice/consultation that focuses on the 3-5 key actionable items or take-aways that can immediately be understood and used by a  manager.  Provide sufficient but concise detail for an outsider to understand and implement.  Part II – Connect with the class lecture, textbook content and learning objectives or  dive deep in the application on your team activities or personal experience, describing specific and detailed examples.

What is Nutrition?

What is Nutrition? A “new” science that borrows from other sciences (chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy and physiology) that looks at the relationship between the foods you eat and your health. Nutrients: substances found in food that help promote the growth and maintenance of the body, i.e. cell rebuilding and repair 6 Essential Nutrients “Essential” means the body can’t make on its own, must obtain via food/drink. 1. Carbohydrate 2. Lipids 3. Protein 4. Vitamins 5. Minerals 6. Water The top three are referred to as the Macronutrients (needed in larger amounts) while the bottom three are referred to as the Micronutrients (needed in smaller amounts). The top three are also referred to as the “energy yielding nutrients.” WHY? The top 3 contain “calories” which provide energy. Energy not in the sense of “Rah, Rah I have a lot of energy right now because I just drank a Red Bull” but energy in the sense of “the capacity or ability to do work” like go to class, go to work, do the things you need to do. In order to have adequate “energy” there are 4 key components: 1. Quality diet 2. Adequate rest 3. Stress/anxiety management 4. Exercise What is a calorie? Technically, a calorie approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 °C For our purposes, know that a calorie is the measurement of a food’s energy value. Know the following values: 1g carbohydrate = 4 calories 1g lipid = 9 calories 1g protein = 4 calories Gram for gram, lipids contain over twice as many calories as a comparable measurement of carbohydrate or protein. Lipids are energy dense! The Micronutrients are calorie free. As a result, they DO NOT provide you with energy. They’re essential and very important, but they, themselves, do not provide us with energy. They are more like spark plugs on a car’s engine. The engine (macronutrients) does the work while the spark plugs (micronutrients) help. 1g of alcohol contains 7 calories! But, is alcohol a nutrient? No. Why? Because it does not meet the definition of a nutrient: does not promote the growth and maintenance of the body! 3 Factors that Determine how many Calories a Person Needs Each Day: 1. Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): Calories needed to sustain the body in a state of rest Factors that affect BMR: Height (the taller you are, the higher the BMR generally. A tall body requires more fuel!), growth (children, adolescents, building muscle) pregnancy (~300 extra calories/day), lactation (~500 calories/day), physical activity, gender (Men from an evolutional perspective have more muscle tissue than women, women have more adipose – fat – tissue. The more muscle a person has, the higher the BMR. BUT, this does not mean every man has a higher BMR than every woman. Active women can have higher BMRs than men), body temperature (for every 1 degree F above normal, BMR increases by ~ 7%) 2. Thermic Effect of Food (TEF): The number of calories burned through the involuntary acts of digestion and absorption. ~5 calories for every 100 consumed will be burned through TEF. 3. Physical Activity: The more active a person is, especially through weight training, the higher the BMR generally. What does a Nutrition Diet Look Like? 4 Characteristics: 1. Adequate: An adequate diet is one that includes enough: dietary fiber, healthy fats, whole grains, fruits and veggies and lean protein sources. 2. Balanced: Unless a person has a disease state, all food groups should be consumed. 3. Varied: Including a wide selection of foods. If you normally eat a red apple, switch things up and eat a green one! Doing so only increases the nutrient profile of your diet. 4. Moderation: Probably the hardest concept. Moderation is about eating until you hit satiety which means you eat until you’re satisfied, not full. If you are able to do this, weight should fall to what’s “normal” for your body type and genetics. It takes practice though as many of us were raised to be members of the “clean plate club!)

Impact Analysis and Risk Treatments (In the City Las Vegas)

In this assignment, you will compile your previous assignments and what you have learned in the last two units into an impact analysis. You will also begin to define treatments to respond to identified risks. Complete the following: Describe sources of information you would use to perform an impact analysis. Note that you may not have access to all of these sources in your selected community. Identify perceived obstacles to an effective impact analysis. Identify a team of potential stakeholders with whom you would work to complete the impact analysis. Note that you are not required to meet with this team for this project. Create an impact analysis identifying all potential consequences and impacts of identified risks based on the information you gathered about your selected community. List potential risk treatments and costs in qualitative terms for each risk in order of impact:  Risk Avoidance. Risk Transference. Risk Mitigation. Risk Acceptance.
