Standard cost is considered a predetermined unit cost of an item. For example, a company will predetermine how much labor or direct material cost is needed to produce one piece. (Kimmel & Weygandt, 2017, p. 637) The organizational budget develops from the standards determined. Companies can improve product costing, control costs, and improve the decision-making process. For example, the furniture company Lovesac has been in the market for two decades. The standard costing system helps the company set costs for materials and labors. Without determining standard costs, the company would not be able to quote a price to customers who custom design their couches of different modules. Kimmel, P. D., & Weygandt, J. J. (2017).

This week you are preparing to present at an important meeting where healthcare policy is going to be discussed and decided. Your role is to represent the perspective of nurses about this particular issue and to provide a presentation to the group. First, choose a policy or agenda item related to nurses that is proposed by the American Nurses Association, state or federal government agencies or legislative bodies, a state nursing board, state nursing association, or professional nursing specialty organization (such as Oncology Nurse Association, Wound Care Nurse Association, Advanced Practice Nurse Association, or Clinical Nurse Leader Association). Next, using professional and government websites and scholarly articles, analyze the issue thoroughly so that you have data and information to include in your presentation. What is the history of this issue? Who is affected by this issue? How will policy related to this issue affect nurses or your particular nurses association? Clearly outline the policy or issue with key points highlighted that demonstrate your understanding. Third, research the key stakeholders who might be attending the meeting and identify them as specifically as possible. You may select one stakeholder or one group of stakeholders (decision makers) as your audience for the presentation. Main Body of Presentation: Include an overview of the issue, including brief history and importance of the issue or policy. From there, select two to four key points related to the issue or policy supported by research, data, facts, and figures. Provide details and examples that help the audience understand the specifics of the policy or issue. Finally, include information about the potential implications for the issue or policy as it affects the nursing perspective you are representing. Conclusion: End with a strong conclusion that reviews your main points and makes a clear recommendation for the action that needs to take place during the meeting or in subsequent meetings. Remember that you need to be convincing as well as professional demonstrating your thorough knowledge of the subject and of the perspective of the group you are representing. PLEASE NOTE I WORK FOR A HOSPITAL IN MAIMI, JUST PLAY WITH THE SCENARIO. THANK YOU.
