Assignment: Application: Planned Change
in a Department or Unit

Health care organizations are continuously immersed in change from the emergence of new policies, to promote quality care and improve patient safety to keeping pace with the rapid growth in knowledge and best practices. Establishing a solid framework for planning and implementing change is a wise move, as it provides a foundation for the extensive coordination that will be needed to successfully facilitate the change.

For this Assignment, you propose a change at the department or unit level and develop a plan for guiding the change effort.

To prepare:

* Review Chapter 8 in the course text. Focus on Kurt Lewin’s change theory, and contrast it with other classic change models and strategies.
* Reflect on problems, inefficiencies, and critical issues within a specific department, unit, or area in your organization or one with which you are familiar. Select one issue as a focal point for this assignment, and consider a change that could be made to address the issue.
* Think about how the change would align with the organization’s mission, vision, and values as well as relevant professional standards.
* Using one of the change models or strategies discussed in Chapter 8, begin formulating a plan for implementing the change within the department/unit. Outline the steps that you and/or others should follow to facilitate the change effort. Align these steps to the change model or strategy you selected.
* Determine who should be involved in initiating and managing the change. Consider the skills and characteristics that are necessary to facilitate this change effort.

To complete:

Write a 3- to 5-page paper (page count does not include title and reference page) that addresses the following:

* Identify a problem, inefficiency, or issue within a specific department/unit.
* Describe a specific, realistic change that could be made to address the issue.
* Summarize how the change would align with the organization’s mission, vision, and values as well as relevant professional standards.
* Identify a change model or strategy to guide your planning for implementing the change. Provide a rationale for your selection.
* Outline the steps that you and/or others would follow to facilitate the change. Align these steps to your selected change model or strategy.
* Explain who would be involved in initiating and managing this change. Describe the skills and characteristics that would be necessary to facilitate the change effort.

Reminder: The School of Nursing requires that all papers submitted include a title page, introduction, summary, and references. The Sample Paper provided at the Walden Writing Center<http://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/templates> provides an example of those required elements. All papers submitted must use this formatting.

Please give me these 15 questions’ answers within 1 hour. Please make sure the quality.

D	albedo decreases (more solar radiation is absorbed)

6. The pika is a small mammal (related to rabbits) that lives at high elevation (above treeline) on rocky mountain slopes.

In a recent lecture, I explained that a number of pika populations have experienced local extinctions, and that these extirpations appear to be linked to climate change.

Which of the following statements about the “plight of the pikas” are TRUE? (Select any and all that are TRUE.)

FYI: If you can’t view the image below, NO WORRIES. You don’t need to see it to answer the question — it’s just a super-adorable photo of a pika.

A. The pika has a large (wide) range of tolerance for temperature

B	The pika has experienced range constriction

C	The pikas are particularly vulnerable to climate change because they are carnivores

D	The recently extirpated pika populations were at lower elevation than the surviving pika populations

8. In a recent lecture-video, I mentioned ‘living shorelines’ (e.g., using vegetation and oysters to increase the resiliency shorelines). Living shorelines are an alternative to the traditional strategy of hardening coastlines (i.e., building seawalls and dikes) in an attempt to protect shorelines and coastal communities.

All of these ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ shoreline strategies fall under which category of Climate Change Response?

FYI: If you can’t view the image below, NO WORRIES. It is a gratuitous photo of some volunteers revegetating a coastal area to restore a ‘living shoreline.’ You do not need to see this photo to answer the question.

C	Climate Complacency

D	Climate Adaptation

9. In his TED talk, David Keith mentioned some downsides to exploring geoengineering as a response to climate change.

According to Keith’s talk (and my recent lecture), what is this phenomenon called?

A. Catch 22

B	Moral Hazard

C	Goldilocks Principle

D	Double Bind

10. The Golden Toad lived in the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica, but it hasn’t been seen in the wild since 1987, and was later declared extinct.

Below is a gratuitous photo of golden toads — not at all necessary to answer the question, so no worries if you’re unable to see the image.

A. an increase in air temperature, and a related increase in mist/precipitation in the cloud forest

B	an increase in sea level, and a series of severe floods in the cloud forest

C	an increase in sea surface temperature, and a related decrease in mist/precipitation in the cloud forest
