After reading chapter 6 in the text “The Psychology of Groups,” locate an article which illustrates any of the topics in this chapter. Analyze the article in light of the chapter. Please include other elements into your analysis such as a team you’ve participated in or observed. You may discuss a team in terms of television show, movie, or work of fiction. In all cases, please remember to cite and remember, other readers may not be familiar with the additional elements so please set the stage for them to understand your point of view.
Link for chapter 6 is here:

The Psychology of Groups

For instance: think of an episode of, say, Seinfield (the relationships in Seinfield are a group and not a team but for now, let’s overlook this distinction) where social loafing is evident. Locate an article that explains social loafing (maybe in Psychology Today). Then link the chapter, article, and episode to illustrate the causes, how to identify, and how to correct social loafing in terms of social loafing.

When was the last time you read Meditation XVII of John Donne’s Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions?
Unless you are a student of seventeenth-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with this piece. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its well-known phrases: “No man is an island…”.
As you begin your journey toward achieving your academic and professional goals, you have a great opportunity to network with academics and professionals who can help ensure you do not travel alone. This network can help to clarify your own vision for success and can help guide you now and in the future. To paraphrase Donne, no one is an island.
Begin creating an academic and professional network by identifying which academic and professional connections and resources with which you need to collaborate to succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse
To Prepare:
Consider individuals, departments, teams, and/or resources within this University and within your profession that you believe can support your academic and professional success.
Identify at least two academic and at least two professional individuals, colleagues, or teams that might help you succeed in your MSN program and as a practicing nurse.

Quite often, nurse leaders are faced with ethical dilemmas, such as those associated with choices between competing needs and limited resources. Resources are finite, and competition for those resources occurs daily in all organizations.
For example, the use of 12-hour shifts has been a strategy to retain nurses. However, evidence suggests that as nurses work more hours in a shift, they commit more errors. How do effective leaders find a balance between the needs of the organization and the needs of ensuring quality, effective, and safe patient care?
In this Discussion, you will reflect on a national healthcare issue and examine how competing needs may impact the development of polices to address that issue.
To Prepare:
Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in Module 1.
Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined.

Presentation to a Quality Improvement Team (5 min)
How can you use research to develop evidence-based approaches to patient care? How can research findings be used to improve the quality of services provided at a healthcare facility?  
As healthcare continues to evolve, nurses play a critical role in applying clinical research to evidence-based practice and quality improvement in nursing. By leveraging clinical research, nurses can identify gaps in their practice, develop strategies to improve patient outcomes and enhance the overall quality of care. This involves critically evaluating existing research, identifying best practices, and developing proposals for improvement in quality and safety of patient care. 
For this Assignment, you apply clinical research to evidence-based practice and quality improvement in nursing and develop proposals for improvement in quality and safety of patient care in nursing practice. 
To prepare:
Review the Learning Resources for this Module and reflect on how the application of research findings contributes to evidence-based practice. 
Download PowerPoint Template Download PowerPoint Template.
Select one issue that pertains to quality or safety in nursing. The issue may be pertinent to your current place of employment or a hypothetical situation in a healthcare organization. 
Search the literature for information related to quality or safety issue you selected. Find at least two scholarly resources that relate to the issue you selected. 
The Assignment
Create a video PowerPoint presentation addressing the following points:  
Summarize the issues related to quality and safety that are identified in the articles. 
Explain the interventions and recommendations from the literature that could be implemented in practice. Be specific and provide examples. 
Describe any additional types of quantitative and/or qualitative data that might be needed to propose a recommendation for quality and/or safety improvements in your practice. Be specific. 
Based on the evidence in your review of the literature on the issue, explain what proposals you would make for improving quality or safety in your practice. Provide a rationale for your proposals with specific details and examples.  
You are required to use at least two sources, but you may use more than two. Cite all sources in APA format and include a reference page on the last slide. Record your PowerPoint presentation with Kaltura. 
Record your PowerPoint presentation with a voiceover. You may also use the camera option to add a talking head to your PowerPoint presentation. (Note: Kaltura also has basic editing capabilities, if you need to edit parts of your presentation before submitting the final version).
For guidance on posting a video into the Assignment, please refer to the Kaltura section of the Classroom Support Center, accessed via the Help button (the i icon) on the global navigation menu.
Submit a 5- to 8-minute video of your presentation. In addition, generate a PDF document with your slide notes and submit it as a separate file.
