Select one of the risk assessment instruments presented in Chapter 1 or Chapter 5 of the Seidel’s Guide to Physical Examination text and develop at least five targeted questions you would ask an 85-year-old white female living alone with no family in declining health to assess her health risks and begin building a health history.

Do a summary of the interview and a description of the communication techniques you would use. Explain why you would use these techniques. Identify the risk assessment instrument you selected, and justify why it would be applicable to the selected patient. Provide at least five targeted questions you would ask the patient.

Overview

This is the second of three assignments. The project sponsor has approved the project schedule and communication matrix. It is now time to execute the project.

Instructions

Write a 2-3 page paper that addresses the following concerns from the project sponsor:

Step 1: The sponsor would like a summary of your project.

• Summarize your project to date, including a message regarding the completion and implementation of the Communication Plan & Project Schedule.
• Note: Do not repeat your introduction from the first assignment to avoid a high Safe Assign percentage.

Step 2: The sponsor is now asking for a report with not a lot of details.

• Explain to the sponsor why a milestone report might be a more useful report and discuss at least three milestones for the project.

Step 3: The sponsor is confused about the communication plan completed earlier and is questioning its effectiveness.

• Explain the format and content of the communication matrix and how it is being used to enhance communications among stakeholders.
• Note: Chapter 4 in the course textbook discusses communication plans.

Step 4: As the project moves further into the execution process, conflict among stakeholders becomes more evident, and the project manager needs to address it. A good project manager understands that there are two types of conflict to be on the lookout for  functional and dysfunctional.

• Explain the differences between functional conflict and dysfunctional conflict. Provide examples.

Step 5: Now, let us assume that the communications among team members continued to deteriorate to the point where some team members were authorized to work virtually from remote locations. Now that some team members are working virtually, new communication issues have surfaced.

• Discuss tips for alleviating communication problems and enhancing the performance of virtual teams, while reassuring the sponsor that the situation is under control.
• Note: Refer to Chapter 11 in the course textbook.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Be sure to include a cover page. Note: the cover page is not included in the 2-3 page count requirement. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Revise a project plan so that it addresses reporting, stakeholder communication, and conflict management.

Discussion:

Which do you prefer – individual incentive plans or group incentive plans?  Explain your answer using a real-world example or a personal experience that informs your opinion.

What can companies do to ensure that poor individual performers don’t benefit with a group/company-wide incentive plan?

Do you think companies should abandon traditional performance appraisal methods in favor of more frequent conversations about individual employee performance? Again, explain your position

Directions: 

Antibiotics have saved millions of lives since they were first observed by Pasteur and Koch and later named by Selman Waksman in 1942. Unfortunately, antibiotic-resistant microbial strains are becoming more prevalent and therefore making once easily treated infections more difficult to treat.

Incident Response Plan Presentation

Consider this scenario: A cyber-attack occurred in a healthcare organization resulting in significant data loss. You have been called as an information security management consultant to create recommend an incident response plan for this incident and will need to present it to the executive board of the healthcare organization.  

Develop a 10- to 12-slide multimedia-rich presentation of your recommended incident response plan to mitigate or reduce impact to the organization.  

• Define incident response plan      goal and scope for this cyber attack. 
• Analyze the impact and severity      of the cyber-attack by applying a business impact analysis (BIA) to the      organization including mission performance, regulatory requirements, and      compliance. 
• Identify the communication      requirements including criteria for escalation and relation to      organization reporting and regulatory requirements. 
• Explain the process for      responding to this incident. 
• Describe the relationship with      other organization processes and methods, such as disaster recovery      planning and business continuity planning (BIA). 
• Recommend prioritization,      resource requirements, and any opportunity created by the event. 

Use appropriate images and charts where applicable. Include a slide with APA-formatted references

Follow below suggestions for success in this assignment:

Submit a presentation that shares your recommended incident response plan for a cyber-attack that occurred at a healthcare organization. The audience of the presentation is the healthcare organizations executive board. The goal of the incident response plan is to mitigate or reduce the impact of the cyber-attack to the organization.

In your PowerPoint, ensure you address the assignment requirements and rubric. This will be accomplished with a mix of content on the slides and in the speaker Notes sections of PowerPoint. Remember: the slides are what the audience will see and read; the Notes section shows what youd be saying while they look at the slides. Slides and notes should go together, but not be strictly repetitive (i.e. you would not want to read slides to your audience).

Rubric requirement 7 states that the presentation must creatively incorporate appropriate images and charts to support the plan. So, as youre putting together your presentation and addressing all of the other content requirements, be sure there are appropriate and effective images, charts, SmartArt, or figures that illustrate the content requirements and help show the content that you are explaining.

Start the presentation with a title slide that includes words of introduction in the Notes section. Then, the presentation should address the following sections in the body of the presentation:

Goal and Scope

The rubric requires that the presentation clearly defines the goal and scope of the incident response plan. To do this, ensure you have a stated goal for the incident response plan, and then identify and describe the scope of that plan. This will set a sort of overview of the plan for the rest of the presentation.

Impact and Severity

The rubric requires that the presentation fully analyzes the impact and severity of the cyber-attack with a business impact analysis (BIA). To do this, include:

• Provide a Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
• Describe the impact of the cyber-attack on the      organization
• Explain how sever the cyber-attack was for the      organization

Communication Requirements

The rubric requires that the presentation accurately identifies the communication requirements including criteria for escalation and organization reporting and regulatory requirements. To do this, ensure that you:

• Identify who the organization must communicate with
• Explain how the organization must communicate with them
• Show and explain the criteria for how the information      about the cyber-attack must be escalated within the organization and      outside the organization
• Identify and explain what the organizations      requirements are for reporting to authorities
• Identify and explain what the organizations      requirements are for complying with regulatory requirements

Response Process

The rubric requires that the presentation thoroughly explains the process for responding to this incident. This means you need to illustrate and explain the process steps that the organization needs to follow to respond to the cyber-attack. Show the process and explain all the steps of the process.

Relationship with Other Organization Processes

The rubric requires that the presentation thoroughly describes the relationship with other organization processes. To accomplish this, you need to:

• Identify other organizational processes that are      related to and/or intersect with the cyber-attack response process
• Describe how those other processes intersect or have a      relationship with the cyber-attack process

Recommendations

The rubric requires that the presentation provides insightful recommendations for prioritization, resource requirements, and opportunities created by the incident. To accomplish this, you must:

• List and explain your recommendations about what the      organization must prioritize in their response to the cyber-attack
• List and explain your recommendations for what      resources will be required for the organization to respond to the      cyber-attack
• List and explain your recommendations for what      opportunities the cyber-attack creates for the organization

Conclusion

Have a slide that sums up the key points and asks the audience for questions.

References

Have a slide that lists the reference entries for any sources that you quoted, paraphrased, and cited in the presentation.

It is important to be able to convey your understanding of macroeconomic concepts by communicating them to others. In the workplace you might do this by writing papers or reports (as you did for the Week 5 assignment) or creating presentations for your team, manager, or clients. For this assignment, you will develop a final report.

• Use the to help you get started.

For this final report assignment, you can use the same industry you selected for the Week 3 assignment, or you can select another industry.

• Prepare a 23 page final report in which you examine one of the macroeconomic variables below: 
  • Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
  • The unemployment rate.
  • The inflation rate.

Instructions

Choose an industry that interests you. (Remember, an industry is not a company. An industry is a group of companies doing the same thing. Ford is a company. Automobile manufacturing is an industry.)

1. Do research on your industry. In a few short paragraphs, describe your selected industry. 
   • Be sure to write in your own words.
   • Identify the goods and/or services the industry provides.
   • Identify some of the major companies in this industry.
   • Add anything else about the industry that you think is interesting.

2. Select one of three macroeconomic variables (real GDP, the unemployment rate, or the inflation rate) that a businessperson in your chosen industry should monitor, and explain why that variable is important and how it might have an impact on your selected industry.
3. Describe in a sentence or two the important movements of the variable in the table and graph. 
   • Excel tables and graphs are attached for each of the three macroeconomic variables (real GDP, the unemployment rate, and the inflation rate).
   • Review the Excel table and graph for the macroeconomic variable that you chose.
4. Summarize how you think this industry will perform in the future. 
   • Be sure to provide support for your prediction of this future industry performance.
5. Your report should include a minimum of two references/citations in the text.
