These are great activities: in particular the podcast will be engaging and pull in good thinking about cultural humility.

"This American Life." there's no "is" in the title of the program.

an action's morality depends on the consequences of that action.

"deontological theory"

no need for the word "home' here. Living alone IS "living home alone."

with whom? with Mary? With the care team?

don't need the hyphen here.

integrative, not integrated. An integrative review is its own thang.

knowledge, comma

how about "based on the utilitarian view that"

"which address the ethics of medical research involving human subjects."

link to?

were created in response to legal controversies.

I've found that most of my students have never heard of the concept of a social contract, but they are intrigued. This may need to be defined, and maybe is already defined elsewhere? BTW, "a social contract with society' is redundant.

"include the application of" or "be based upon?"

which may

This is a very close rewording of the information herE: https://ethicsunwrapped.utexas.edu/glossary/consequentialism While there are only so many ways to define this, this would be flagged as possible plagiarism in turnitin!

splitting hairs here, but the theory itself doesn't judge.

the word "of" would work better there than "called"

need a comma after behavior

need a comma after 2001

I think the images used in this text are the weakest aspect of the book. This image doesn't depict values. Indeed, how could one really depict the abstract concept of values in an image? I think you would be better served with mages of people doing things which would seem to illustrate a value.

with which they were raised

Values plural serve as guides, plural

If we try to draw a line between morality and ethical behavior, which is a fuzzy but real line, the Code of Ethics is not a moral document, it's an ethical standard.

interested in performing? Achieving? Mastering?

This is splitting hairs, but ethics are not important, ie, the study of morality, but ethical behavior and the ability to reason through ethical dilemmas is important.

I find it interesting that this sentence is written in the past tense as though the pandemic is over and demand for telehealth has lessened,m which is isn't and has not. Is it an effort to not have the text become outdated?

or just "video conferencing?" (or even videoconferencing, which increasingly is one word in the literature.)

or could be better stated as "American Nurses Association (ANA) Standards of Professional Performance"

need some commas here!

top nurse researchers, thought leaders, and managers

End note again leads to the definition of capital budgeting.

The end note here is leading to the wrong cited source.

"to stay at work and complete work-related education or stay home?" Is there something missing at the end of that sentence, because it basically says the options are to stay home or stay home...

you can end that sentence after personnel. "personnel resources" means the same thing as "personnel!"

Nurses are experiencing them, or agencies are using them? Similarly, are they patterns or could they be considered models?

staffing, comma. Needs a comma there.

could "in an affordable manner using safe staffing models" be better stated as"affordably and safely?"

While this is technically true, I don't think it's over the heads of nursing students to provide a more precise definition, which would make it make more sense to them ultimately; a capital budget plans investments and upgrades to tangible assets that lose or grow their value over time (but usually lose it). My students respond well to the idea that capital is something that can be touched; equipment,computers, real estate, etc, whereas an operating budget includes funding for personnel, health insurance for staff, training expenses, etc.

"affect" is the wrong word here. That are used by Nursing? That include Nursing?

negative determinants

These examples are all negative SDOH, but there are determinants which also positively impact health: housing, neighborhood attributes, quality of public education, drinking water quality are all SDOH which could positively or negatively impact health. They exist on a continuum.

Does this mean ""their institution's effectiveness and efficiency?" As written it makes no sense.

think there's a word missing here. "as has?"

There are two models. Not types of models.

support. Means the same thing.

For example,....

No, Plans have different reimbursement models, but they don't "affect reimbursement."

No it doesn't. Health care insurance is a type of funding, yes, but the two phrases are not synonyms.

may pay

This isn't an image of a deductible. It's an image of a bill and some money. If you use images just to be attractive don't label them incorrectly!

Native Americans?

"whose family income"

how about "for an infographic illustrating what each part covers?"

can purchase... why? Why do they need it? What does it cover?

does it strike anyone as weird that C is listed after D? I know why, but it's an odd graphic.

or, to make it parallel with the rest of the series of phrases in the sentence, "skilled nursing facility care."

should read "making ACA tax credits permanent."

needs a comma between powers and because.

"in striking it down" is not necessary and ungrammatical.

? This is not an "image of the ACA." These are words on a background. what would an image of the ACA even look like?

or just website?

the cost of Symbicort increased. Simbicort itself did not increase.

technologies, plural.

a comma is needed here, or it says that younger populations have increased demands for care, which is not the case.

by 2030.

"lead to" or "result in" would be more accurate than "cause."

employers, plural. Plural people, plural employers.

I'm seeing a bit of a trend in the images in that many are just pretty pictures that do not add information for the reader. Is it necessary to include images just for the sake of color or variety?

commas are needed here, not semicolons, as the series does not include internal commas.

"staffing and budgeting issues at the institutional level" is more clearly and shorter just "institutional staffing and budgeting."

"impacting society" is not necessary there. You wouldn't be talking about models which are not currently having an impact.

Study.com is seen by many instructors as a cheat site, whether accurate or not. Thus, it would likely be a good idea to use a different source for citing info about economics.

do you really need the word economic before impact? what other kind of impact could it have on the economy?

"a" 64-year-old patient.

no need to capitalize "super" here.

the comma after timelines is not necessary.

known as the. add a "the" there.

theories are so... theoretical, that I think these discussions would benefit from at least a couple of examples of possible driving forces or restraining forces in the text. Otherwise, it's all really abstract for the student, and in practice it absolutely is not!

I don't know what your style sheet requires, but I'd love it if new vocabulary terms were in bold type the first time they are introduced.

I've always just heard it called unfreeze-change-refreeze, not "unfreezing"

addressed? Considered?

A resistor is part of an electrical circuit; a person who resists something is a “resister.”

or how about just the word "honestly?" Means the same thing, and is clearer.

This is a confusing sentence. Maybe "If you were Jamie, what what leadership style would you hope the trauma surgeon uses with the team?"

again, is this phrase necessary? If you cut it, the sentence makes just as much sense.

is this phrase necessary?

I don't think it expresses a "hope" nor does it only reflect what leaders want or hope for. A vision statement paints a picture of what the organization is striving to be or how the organization will change the world.

assist with? That promote? That support?

their parts.

rather than "with" you might want "resulting from"

it would be "and focusing" to keep the phrase parallel.

A clearer rewrite: Error reporting helps the agency manage risk and reduces potential liability

a client falls, according to agency policy

A comma s needed there, or it is saying the client fell in com-pliance with a fall policy!

between their parts, not its parts.

Couldn't that just say "A recent systematic review?"

"Represent no focus" doesn't make sense to me. Do you mean "Does not focus?"

with employees,

Need a comma there, or it means they are direct with employees who demonstrate self awareness. And I think they are direct with all employees, no matter their self awareness!

Unclear pronoun referent. Who tends to react: the leader, or the team members?

since the image is in the public domain, if you have time you should change the British spellings of incentivize and behavior.

all of these are not accurately defined as theories. Passive-avoidant leadership is a subset of lassez faire leadership and could more accurately be called a leadership style.

the comma after as is not necessary as it is not introducing a quotation.

ever obsessed with making it read more simply to better keep students' attention: "referred to as" is not necessary. It could simply read "identified three leadership styles: authoritarian, democratic, and laissez-faire.

" they significantly influence other individuals toward achieving" isn't grammatically correct. They could "influence individuals' achievement." or they could "encourage individuals to achieve their goals."

all nurses are leaders,. You need the comma.

constructive, assertive statements. Needs the comma.

value-driven. Needs the hyphen.

"unique and different" is repetitive. Pick one.

"The vision, mission, and value statements are expressed in a concise and clear manner" is itself not concise! This co7uld be better stated as "Concise, clear vision, mission, and value statements are easily understood..."

"a values statement is the organization's values " seems a little tautological. Since you used the verb defines in the previous sentence, does the value statement define the values? Establish them?

In best practice, while the leaders guide the development of these foundational documents, they don't own this process. It's not where the leaders want the organization to go, but where all stakeholders agree it is going, based on data, listening sessions, etc. This puts new nurses in a passive position, which blunts any ownership of the outcome.

"a sense of direction" is the same thing as "direction." Just "provides direction" makes more sense and is stronger, while using fewer unnecessary words.

"to implement" (rather than "for implementing") is the more common usage after "means to" (As in, for example, "means to an end.")

This is where the quote ends. The rest fo it, after the ellipses, is not a part of the cited article, so the quote needs to end and the ellipses are unnecessary.

The article has authors listed: Susan M. Dyess, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, NE-BC Rose O. Sherman, EdD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN Beth A. Pratt, MSN, RN Lenny Chiang-Hanisko, PhD, RN. Is the sentence saying the journal is published by the ANA, or that the ANA wrote the article? Unclear as written.

"done with some regularity" means "practiced regularly." Go shorter for clarity!

the word "in" is unnecessary in ."Promote hope in however the individual"

"past life" implies possible literal past lives, as in reincarnation. If that's not what's intended, maybe just use the phrase "their past?"

This is the first time in the chapter where the term "spiritual wellness" is used, so I don’t think it would be clear to the reader that the topic has been discussed. Easy fix: just use it in the intro, for example.

The word is never defined in the text. You probably should define it here, just a sentence.

"remain clothed" is a better way of saying " keep on her clothes "

I cannot imagine an instance when an associate’s level student would find the opportunities or information on this website germane to their experience or offering any professional development they could afford or attend. Better to do a deeper link to something you think they would find interesting.

Seems to be missing the one-sentence definition that should begin the glossary item. How about:

"A caregiver’s diminished caring and cynicism, Can be triggered by workplace demands, lack of resources to do work professionally and safely, interpersonal relationship stressors, or work policies policies that can lead to diminished caring and cynicism. It can be manifested physically and psychologically with as a loss of motivation.."

"some may experience times of reminiscence" means exactly the same thing as "Some may reminisce." Go shorter for clarity!

This is a well-known quote, but it does have a source and we should give credit. I believe it's from McCaffery, M., & Pasero, C. (1999). Pain: Clinical manual for nursing practice (2nd ed.). St. Louis: Mosby.

Do you want them to link to the main page at National Association for Home Care & Hospice (nahc.org), or the page you link to, Home Care & Hospice Basics?

While rare, men can get breast cancer too. Why use the female pronoun here when throughout the book you use the gender neutral “they?”

the title of the exact chapter you are citing is Death and Dying. Not sure if you are getting that granular?

I see no mention of earning a certificate on that page.

"grandparents""

Plural grandparents, plural placement of apostrophe!

I think you mean "assuring."

academic difficulties? Poor academic performance?

If the child is the person at end of life, child life specialists in many hospitals, as well as social workers, would be first line of defense. This isn’t a peds textbook, but that’s important to note.

I have no idea what this means. Wish filling?

Clearer rewrite:

"Symptoms of grief in younger children include nervousness, uncontrollable rages, frequent sickness or accidents, rebellious behavior, hyperactivity, nightmares, depression, compulsive behavior, memories fading in and out, excessive anger, overdependence on the remaining parent, denial, and/or disguised anger. Children may not understand that death is permanent until they are in preschool or older."

The citation given is to an image. If you make statement about increases in something, it really needs to have a citation, and some more detail. How big is the increase? In what time period?

This statue honors the culture of the Lakota and Dakota tribes who are indigenous to South Dakota. It's a lovely sculpture, but really is specific to native tribes in the Dakotas. Not sure it fits with the text.

shorter: "all their lives." It doesn't conjure up wedding vows!

Page cannot be found. How about this instead? https://www.nhpco.org/palliative-care-overview/explanation-of-palliative-care/

clearer: "Anger in the grief process masks pain and sadness."

Disenfranchised grief is grief over any loss that is not validated or recognized

Clearer: "There are five different categories of grief ."

Lability? Mood swings? Need a simpler word?

Include them with what? Better verb?

"in well-lit environments"

"minimize background noise"

"Position yourself 2-3 feet away from patient"

That doesn’t’ make sense. Are you saying “print out information from the web?” It sounds like you are saying use the web to make printouts--which is fine, but I wonder if it even needs to be said.

Clearer rewrite: "In addition to overcoming common communication, there are several nontherapeutic responses to avoid in therapeutic communication. These responses often block the patient’s communication of their feelings or ideas. See Table 2.3b for descriptions of nontherapeutic responses."

clearer rewrite of last sentence: "However, it is important to tailor humor to reflect the patient's own sense of humor.."

"Therapeutic communication techniques are specific methods used to provide " means the same thing as "Therapeutic communication techniques provide." Go shorter and keep their attention!

Unclear. suitable how? To whom? Do you mean vocabulary level appropriate for the patient?

They style themselves as SkillsYouNeed, all one word.

ResearchGate is a service for which you need to sign up, and although you can get a lot of good info, some of it is posted there in violation of copyright. I’d be very leery about citing from it. Besides, the whole article is not there as this citation seems to indicate. It’s only an image from the article.

Tell why they can have this effect, briefly. A simple explanation of the mechanism would be good for aspiring health care professionals!

Follows!

Do we address the pandemic and the need to do more written or virtual communication? What about telehealth? Zoom? It seems like telehealth is going to be a big part of care going forward, and that kind of rewrites these rules. Or anyway, they will need to be looked at differently.

Sharp, brusque, curt, gruff? I’ve known students who read “short tone” as a tone that lasts only a couple of seconds.

It would be great to get photos, rather than the diagram, which doesn’t give a good idea of what this would look like in real life, and since we're all pretty sensitized to distance from each other right now, we could get a photo of people in a line, or just position faculty in an empty spot on campus and take pics!.

I don’t think you mean to use the word standardized here; it doesn’t make sense in context. Do you mean traditional? Customary? Typical? Cultural?

it went off the air 15 years ago. Can we still refer to it as popular? I polled my summer students: only those over the age of 35 really remember it very well! Not a reason to not use the video, but it may need a different description.

rather than "based on," would it be more accurate to say "using one of three styles?"

Yes, but this pic doesn’t demonstrate that exactly, particularly the eye contact.

That's a common misunderstanding of the percentages that are often given, but it's not accurate. See https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/beyond-words/201109/is-nonverbal-communication-numbers-game

Oddly constructed sentence. Clearer:

Effective communication requires each interaction to include a sender of the message, a clear and concise message, and a receiver who can decode and interpret that message.

Odd sentence. Make it 2 for clarity:

Effective communication is one of the Standards of Professional Performance established by the American Nurses Association. The standard states, “The registered nurse communicates effectively in all areas of practice.”[1]

I don't think this makes a clear distinction for students. An example might help, or something brood, such as morality being inherent in the individual, with a code of conduct being external to the individual, developed for people in specific groups, such as nurses, journalists, teachers, etc.

I think the issue of social media needs to be given more space, with example lawsuits and examples of violations. I don't think we can hammer this home hard enough.

exceptions, not caveats. Caveats are warnings.

with unauthorized people, rather than to unauthorized people.

There are other types of info that could be identifying, not just patient name. Never take ANY records home, period.

That leads to a review of the book, not the book. The book is here: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/12956/the-future-of-nursing-leading-change-advancing-health

where in the title of the site does it say it's specifically the 2018 NCLEX?

I would write out Master of Science in Nursing and de-emphasize the two-year time period. It can be longer or shorter.

It is so hard to explain adaptive testing! Try this rewrite, which I ran past a student who seemed to get it!

The NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN are online, adaptive tests that are taken at a specialized testing center. The NCLEX tests knowledge, skills, and abilities essential to the safe and effective practice of nursing at the entry level. Both the NCLEX-RN and the NCLEX-PN are variable length tests that adapt as you answer the test items. The NCLEX-RN examination can be anywhere from 75 to 265 items, depending on how quickly you are able to demonstrate your proficiency. Of these items, 15 are unscored pretest items. The time limit for this examination is six hours. The NCLEX-PN examination can be anywhere from 85 to 205 items. Of these items, 25 are unscored pretest. The time limit for this examination is five hours

I think the use of the word bridge would be unclear for students (make sense to us, but not to them, I suspect).

I'd capitalize Life Flight. (proper noun!)
