This discussion is designed to introduce key principles that nurse leaders must address in leading and managing diverse groups.

Use a scholarly source to define multiculturalism, cross-culturalism, and transculturalism.

Explain the definitions in your own words, and give an example of applying each term to a leadership situation. For example, think of a time in your practice when you, as a leader, or your leader used multiculturalism to promote inclusion among colleagues or patients.

IMPORTANT QUICK CLINICAL NOTE INFORMATION:

These Quick Clinical Notes (QCN) are for you to begin to put together common important primary care drugs that are ordered for primary care patients.

You will be developing brief important information in the attached QCN template boxes. This assignment is not to be written like a nursing care plan that explains every drug in detail.

Do not write a long list of drug and food interactions or a long list of potential side effects. We know that every drug has the potential to cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, etc. We are looking for a few important side effects that you can remember quickly when working with your patients.

For grading the Quick Clinical Notes assignment, faculty will take off points if you do not paraphrase, if there is nothing written in the boxes, if the wrong answers are listed in the boxes, if you cut and paste information in the boxes, and/or if you submit the Quick Clinical Notes assignment late.

Complete the N677 QCN. HEENT -1.V7.docx document.

Note: Use the template available. Do not cut and paste content in this template; instead, paraphrase the information.

Submit your Quick Clinical Notes.

• Case 2 (Bacterial vs. Viral URI)
• Case 3 (Type II vs. Type IV Hypersensitivity)

Select one of these cases, then use Bubbl.us(https://bubbl.us/) or mapping tool of your choice, to create a concept (mind) map in which you do the following:

• Compare and contrast the presenting symptoms of the conditions noted in one of the above selected cases. (ie. Case 2, bacterial vs viral)
• Describe, briefly, the differences and/or similarities in the pathophysiology of the condition in the selected case study.

DO NOT CUT AND PASTE YOUR ANSWERS. Paraphrase your answers and use citations for your resources. Here is a resource for paraphrasing properly: https://www.scribbr.com/citing-sources/how-to-paraphrase/

Researchers are continually bringing to light new, supporting, or changed information which shape the practices and beliefs within the health world. You are going to use the information from your textbook about the CAM movement to see if and how the information presented by the author of your textbook has changed — or not — in the past three-years.

• Choose a practice and application of that practice from the CAM movement described in your textbook. For example: The practice of yoga as applied to reducing anxiety and stress
• Next, find one quality research/scholarly reports from within the last 3-years that either supports or refutes what your textbook says about the CAM practice and application you chose. (You may wish to use the link to the TWU Health Studies Subject Guide)
• Citing specific references from your text, the supplementary videos, as well as, the resources from the additional articles and websites I provided in addition to just the textbook, describe why the materials you found/chose to use are quality materials, and come from valid and reliable sources.
• Described what you learned about the CAM practice in regards to the application you chose to focus on. Did you find what you expected to find? Why or why not?
• Did the information presented in your text about the CAM practice and application you chose prove to be still relevant, reliable, and accurate? Why or why not? Were there changes or updates?
• What are the two most important skills health educators need to teach consumers in order for consumers to be more discerning about choosing CAM-related health products and services? Be sure to support your belief and opinion with evidence.
