Reverse-engineering gene identification. In Molecular Systems Biology (Vol. 3, 2007), geneticists at the University of Naples (Italy) used reverse engineering to identify genes. They calculated P (G | D), where D is a gene expression data set of interest and G is a graphical identifier. Several graphical identifiers were investigated. Suppose that, for two different graphical identifiers G1 and G2, P (D | G1) = .5 and P (D | G2) = .3. Also, P (D) = .34, P (G1) = .2, and P (G2) = .8. a. Use Bayess rule to find P (G1 | D). b. Use Bayess rule to find P (G2 | D).

Topic: Process change Implementing SBAR in nursing handoff
Order Description
Use Berwick’s “description to prescription” model to describe how to change nursing practice and implement SBAR during nursing handoff of a hospital nursing unit. This model for change has seven steps it contains: (a) Find innovations, (b) find innovators, (c) support early adopters, (d) champion early adoption, (e) enable reinvention, (f) create slack for change, and (g) lead by change.
Introduction: Introduces the selected advanced nursing practice patient safety concern and includes pertinent background information regarding concern (who, what, where, when, and why)
Description: Identify and addresses each step of the selected change model; uses examples from current evidence that supports assertions and relevant examples from advanced nursing practice
Presentation of selected change model: Addresses expected outcomes and the role of the DNP-prepared nursing leader in outcomes evaluation and sustainability of the proposed change; uses examples from current evidence that supports assertions and relevant examples from advanced nursing practice.
Conclusion: Identifies the main ideas and major conclusions from the body of your report, with minor details left out; summarize the benefits of the proposed change to advanced nursing practice quality improvement and patient safety

The project for this class will involve creating a pamphlet on any disease or medical condition that you are interested in.

Follow these instructions:

1. Choose any disease or medical condition that interests you. Please pick a topic that you have not covered in a previous class.

2. Address the following subtopics in your pamphlet:

a. Description. A general overview.

b. Signs & symptoms. Typical objective & subjective features.

c. Etiology & disease mechanism. Causes (if known) and exactly HOW the body is affected.

d. Patient screening & diagnosis. How to determine/confirm the condition.

e. Treatment. How to remedy the condition once it has been diagnosed.

f. Prognosis. Information regarding recovery time, survival time, potential for relapse, etc. g. Prevention. How to avoid contracting the condition (if known), reducing risk factors, etc.

3. You do not have to construct your pamphlet about your disease or medical condition in the order listed in #2, as long as you cover all the subtopics listed.

Make sure your name is on your pamphlet. You must have a dedicated section with a clear title for each of the above bold-faced subtopic areas, AND adequate coverage of said areas. A key component of the pamphlet is to answer the following questions about your disease or medical condition:

HOW does it come about? What changes does it cause in the human body and HOW does it cause those changes? (see subtopic c)

4. Provide all references at the end of the pamphlet (must have at least 5) used to obtain your information (books, science journals, websites, etc.). Exact format is not important, but you must have enough information in the reference so that I am able to find the reference!

A website reference MUST be the exact URL where you obtained the information, not a general address like www.nih.gov or www.odu.edu, unless the info you used is exactly on that page. You should also credit any sources where you used graphics, images, or text that you did not create yourself. DO NOT reference opinions, tabloid articles, or similar disreputable sources.

Nursing Leadership
Order Description
Effective leaders have a high degree of self-awareness and know how to leverage their strengths in the workplace. Assessments are a valuable tool that professionals can use to learn more about themselves and consider how their temperament and preferences influence their interactions with others.
To further your self-knowledge, you are required to complete the Kiersey Temperament Sorter and the DiSC assessment, as indicated in this week’s Learning Resources. In addition, you are encouraged to take or review additional assessments (e.g., Myers-Briggs, a 360-degree evaluation) on your own.
As you engage in this learning process, it is important to remember that everyone—regardless of temperament type or related preferences—experiences some challenges with regard to leadership. The key to success is being able to recognize and leverage your own strengths while honoring differences among your colleagues.
To prepare:
• Review the results of your leadership style inventories. Save a copy of your results for future reference. In addition, you are encouraged to complete additional assessments.
• What aspects of your results surprised you? What aspects of your results were as you might have expected?
• Think about the leadership example(s) you identified in the Discussion, your assessment results, and the information presented in this week’s Learning Resources. Have they helped you to form a more comprehensive view of yourself as a leader? What insights have arisen with regard to:
o How you, personally, evaluate leadership effectiveness
o Your own leadership style, preferences, and strengths
o Potential challenges or areas in which you need to strengthen your leadership skills and competencies
• Begin to create a plan for maximizing your strengths as a leader and neutralizing your weaknesses.
To complete:
Write a 1- to 2-page paper that addresses the following:
• Summarize your leadership style, including your strengths for leading others. Refer to specific information from your inventory results, as well as insights gained from the Learning Resources and any research you completed on your own.
• Describe potential challenges that you have experienced in the past or could foresee related to your leadership style.
• Explain how you plan to improve your leadership competencies and effectiveness. Be specific in terms of your goals and plans related to your personal leadership development.
Reminder: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references.
Guardians (SJ’s) are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services–from supervision to maintenance and supply — and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.
Guardians can have a lot of fun with their friends, but they are quite serious about their duties and responsibilities. Guardians take pride in being dependable and trustworthy; if there’s a job to be done, they can be counted on to put their shoulder to the wheel. Guardians also believe in law and order, and sometimes worry that respect for authority, even a fundamental sense of right and wrong, is being lost. Perhaps this is why Guardians honor customs and traditions so strongly — they are familiar patterns that help bring stability to our modern, fast-paced world.
Practical and down-to-earth, Guardians believe in following the rules and cooperating with others. They are not very comfortable winging it or blazing new trails; working steadily within the system is the Guardian way, for in the long run loyalty, discipline, and teamwork get the job done right. Guardians are meticulous about schedules and have a sharp eye for proper procedures. They are cautious about change, even though they know that change can be healthy for an institution. Better to go slowly, they say, and look before you leap.
Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population, and a good thing, because they usually end up doing all the indispensable but thankless jobs everyone else takes for granted.
Establishing and following a familiar daily routine is critical to your well being. In your ideal job, you and your coworkers would all share information so that everyone could remain “on the same page” as projects move forward. Because you genuinely care about the people you work with, your colleagues and your customers appreciate your unassuming kindness.

WWHAT I WANT TO WORK ABOUT AND STRENGTHEN IS “The strategies I learned were those that are the most difficult to implement. When dealing with difficult people, it is important to keep in mind what might be of concern for them. In doing this, the servant leader puts other peoples interests before his own. This is a challenge for many human beings however as a servant leader it is essential. I witnessed this many times during my practicum and saw how much it contributes to the success of staff members, managers and the organization. Implementing this principle facilitates implementation of all the other characteristics of servant leadership. When we put ourselves in the shoes of another, we can lead through understanding and make decisions that are fair and consistent. Integrity facilitates informal authority that helps us influence those around us
