In this assignment you will research and reflect on a topic from this week’s readings.  This allows you the opportunity to explore topics and ideas that you are especially interested in.  Create a PowerPoint presentation consisting of at least 8 slides (excluding the title and reference pages) on the role of your topic and the impact it has on learning. Please do not use Erikson or Piaget as your focus.  I want you to look at something new that is specific to adults.

Create the presentation for an audience of nursing educators.  Include some theory, but be sure to discuss applications to teaching and learning. 

Narrate the PowerPoint with what you would say to your audience.  You can use the PowerPoint voice over feature or use a screencast tool.Canvas does not allow me to open all add-on applications, so make sure that the one you select works with Canvas.

Be creative and make the presentation visually interesting with things like graphics, video, etc.

In addition to the Merriam and Baumgartner text, find at least three additional professional sources to support your information.  Two of these must be from peer reviewed nursing journals. Cite any sources in APA format.

Cite any sources in APA format.

Welcome to our reflection discussion at the end of the semester. 

1. INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY
2. Please reflect briefly on the healthcare policy and political topics that most impact you from those covered over the last 15 weeks.

Rationale must be provided

400 words in your post by 04/20/23 at 23:59 pm

Minimum of two scholarly references in APA format within the last five years published

 Using the University Database:
1)
Rank order all students by total credit (DESC)

2)
Create a view tot_credits_dept
(columns: year, dept_name,
num_credits)
with the total
number of credits taken
by all students in each year for courses offered by each department

3)
Compute average
number of credits over three
preceding years
per department using the view you created

4)
Compute maximum
number of credits over for the window
of 2 years before and 2 years after the
current year per department
5)
Using the view you just created, get the average
total credits by each department over all prior years. 

Very often, the invasion of hosts by pathogenic microbes leads to infections.

Discuss the different means microorganisms use to enter and colonize a host. 

Use APA guidelines for proper citations.

• minimum words: 300
• Please include citations from different sources and the book Gerard J. Tortora, Berdell R. Funke, Christine L. Case – Microbiology_ an introduction-Pearson (2019).

example on how to in text cite (Tortora, pg 200, 2019)

Since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928, we have been fighting off bacterial infections with chemicals that kill bacteria by inhibiting their cell structure or metabolism. Bacteria are experts at adapting to their environment and it is no surprise that some superbugs have developed resistance to all known antibiotics. This has forced scientists to find newer strategies to thwart bacterial invasion. One strategy being considered is based on turning bacteria against other bacteria. Microbial predation and cannibalism are areas of intense research.

For this discussion assignment, you are encouraged to review scientific literature and share your insights on what you have learned about “How bacteria compete with other bacteria in order to survive.”

1. should be 400- 600 words.
2. In your answer, discuss at least 3 different methods used by 3 different bacteria (include the full scientific name of bacteria).
3. List your references.
