Using Kaltura, record a video (5–10 minutes) where you reflect on an interprofessional collaboration experience, proposing recommendations for how to improve interprofessional collaboration that can be shared with leadership and colleagues. Support these recommendations with references to the literature.

The interprofessional project that you reflect on may be one that you collaborated on at your current or former place of practice, or you may choose to imagine you collaborated on the interprofessional project presented in the Assessment 01 Supplement: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video [PDF] Download Assessment 01 Supplement: Collaboration and Leadership Reflection Video [PDF]resource and reflect on that.

Welcome to Week 3. Ethical principles are integral to the foundational role of nurses. Knowledge and understanding of these terms will benefit you not only in this course but throughout the program and your nursing career. 

We’ll start this week by defining key ethical terms, and later this week, there will be a question or two where you can demonstrate how these terms influence nursing.

Define in your own words these key ethical terms. Keep your definitions simple. You should focus on the concept of these definitions because then it is easier to apply a concept to various situations. 

Justice

Nonmaleficence

Beneficence

Autonomy

Fidelity

Responsibility

Accountability

Confidentiality

Advocacy

Class, let’s discuss the categories that organisms can be grouped in based on their nutritional requirements. Find one microorganism, either a prokaryote or eukaryote, and describe the environment in which it lives. (Does it live underwater? On skin? In soil? Give as many details as possible!) To complete your initial post, you will then use the vocabulary we discussed to classify it based on its nutritional needs and environmental requirements. (Is it a halophile? A chemoheterotroph? Use as many terms as you can!)

 a.     Neo-Freudian Carl Jung created a set of personality types that have become popular for understanding oneself and others, including what jobs would be best for one and which people one would work best with in a relationship. Find out your type by taking the short test at http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/jungiantypestest.html. Once you know your four-letter type (e.g., INFP or ESTJ), conduct some research online to find out how this knowledge could help them pick careers, friends, and lovers.   Then write a two-page paper discussing what you have learned.
 

Cultural Relativity is the idea that behavior is different depending on culture. Choose two countries and, using articles from the internet (legitimate sources with authors – no Wikipedia or about.com or encyclopedia sources), discuss at least two behaviors common in adolescents in those two cultures. Look for resources from sites such as National Geographic or similar sources. Examples of typical adolescent behavior in our culture include dating, learning to drive, getting a first part time job. Choose two other cultures to look at what adolescents do. Are behaviors similar or different than typical teenagers in the United States?
