Describe the Lord of the Flies.

Choose ONE of the characters in LOTF and explain with textual evidence how the character develops through the course of the novel. Instead of citing specific page numbers, please just cite specific examples from the text. This essay should be three WELL-DEVELOPED paragraphs. In the opening paragraph, you should introduce the character you are talking about and some general information about him at the beginning of the novel. You may even want to talk about your initial thoughts about the character.The body of the essay should include at least FIVE specific examples of how the character changes/develops through the course of the novel. The body of the essay should be the longest paragraph, and you should add your own insight beyond the examples. For example, if you choose Ralph for your character, give a specific change in him, and then tell what you think about that change–whether it is emotional, physical, etc.The concluding paragraph should express what you think of the character at the end of the novel and also how the things he does in the novel affect him and the outcome of the novel. You can also cover how the changes in him affects or impacts others in the novel. A nice way to end this essay is with the impact the changes in this character has on the outcome of the novel.

Describe Electronic Health Records Benefits and Drawbacks.

As discussed in the lesson and assigned reading for this week, EHRs provide both benefits and drawbacks. Create a “Pros” versus “Cons” table and include at least 3 items for each list. Next to each item, provide a brief rationale as to why you selected to include it on the respective list.Refer to the Stage 3 objectives for Meaningful Use located in this week’s lesson under the heading Meaningful Use and the HITECH Act. Select two objectives to research further. In your own words, provide a brief discussion as to how the objective may impact your role as an APN in clinical practice. Meaningful Use and the HITECH ActMeeting the criteria for meaningful use (MU) of an EHR is one of the methods of Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement associated with the HITECH Act. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) serves as the primary regulator, with each individual state dictating the Medicaid operations within its jurisdiction (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, 2009). This statute identifies the eligible providers, including APNs, for the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement structure. Such prescriptive language does not recognize, embrace, or support the interprofessional team and the critical and collaborative work completed by such an entity to improve access, improve health care, and reduce costs.The third and final stage of MU is currently underway and entails a single set of criteria focused on the advanced use of EHR systems. CMS decided to move away from the staged approach and will require all providers (including first-time participants) to satisfy the objectives and measures of Stage 3 by 2018. Beginning in 2019, the MU program will transition into a new merit-based incentive payment system (MIPS) program established by the Medicare Access and CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) Reauthorization Act. The Stage 3 requirements and objectives will be maintained (Resnick, Meara, Peltzman, & Gilley, 2016).Stage 3 Meaningful Use objectives:To learn more, please review the Meaningful Use Stage 3 Recommendations (Links to an external site.)Throughout the MU phases, providers and hospitals that implement EHRs meeting federal standards outlined under the meaningful use regulatory requirements are financially incentivized with payments from CMS. The incentive program started in 2011 and extends over several years with the time table determined by whether a provider elects to access the Medicaid or Medicare incentive program. Hospitals can access both Medicaid and Medicare incentives, and in many cases these incentives equate to millions of dollars.-Additional information for the assignment What APNs Need to KnowAs noted, the role of the nurse is expanding to include information technology. This is also true of the advanced practice role and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) role (McBride, Tietze, & Fenton, 2013). McBride et al. (2013) developed a conceptual framework, which addresses the major roles that APNs play within the information technology environment. This framework is the Nursing Education for the Healthcare Informatics (NEHI) Model. The framework is targeted to advanced practice care delivery and is composed of three main content domains: (a) patient safety/quality, (b) data management and analytics, and (c) point-of-care technology (McBride et al., 2013).

Discuss the Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr.

Then focus on one particular work by that author. Is the work important because of its accurate portrayal of a particular time period? Is it important because of its relevance to modern times? Is it important because of its portrayal of love, death, crime, punishment, justice, power and responsibility, the journey in America? What argument is that author using to make commentary on our society? Is there a continuing theme that prevails throughout that authors works? Develop a research question that interests you. You should consider the various critical approaches to the work and how one or more might be utilized in answering your question. For example: Feminist, Psychoanalytic, Marxist, Postcolonial, New Historicism, New Criticism, Reader-response criticism, Deconstruction, Gender, and Critical Race theories.
