Carefully read and answer the following questions. 1a. Outline your understanding of the concepts and definition of diversity in relation to health care Diversity means that health care professional recognise each person as individuals This means that we accept people from diverse background into our healthcare setting and we accept the choices they make in regards to their health and treatments even if we do not agree and we respect those choices. diversity means that health care professionals need an understanding of how social and cultural background can influence health beliefs and practices, including beliefs about dying, death and bereavement. For example, specific populations who can have unique social and cultural backgrounds that shape health responses include: includes gender, veteran status, race, disability, age, religion, sexual orientation and more. Ethnicity, socio economic, political beliefs, gender Nurses understanding patients culture, environment, food, customs, religious viewt etc, they can provide their patients with ultimate care. Emsuring diverse needs are met Recognising that people from differenct baclkgrounds often habe different ways of communicating Undersrtanding that people from different religious often have religiously based convictions about delivery od health care services. For example some religious prohibit blood transfusion or organ donation Respecting the health care choices of others, even if they are not choices you would recommend or select yourself It means undeestanding that each individual is unique, and reconising our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race Equal opportunity Differences in cultural understanding can lead to racism, prejudice and stereotyping. When communicating within your role, you will need to use your skills and knowledge appropriately in order to engage clients and colleagues in a way that shows respect and facilitates a healthy relationship. Showing respect for cultural diversity through communication shows sensitivity and awareness of both the messages we are sending and also receiving, if we do not share a common communication pattern. Valuing diversity means that we acknowledge and respect the culture, religious background and previous experiences of all people, irrespective of their gender, ethnicity or beliefs. Diversity comes in many forms.

In this assignment, students will pull together the change proposal project components they have been working on throughout the course to create a proposal inclusive of sections for each content focus area in the course. At the conclusion of this project, the student will be able to apply evidence-based research steps and processes required as the foundation to address a clinically oriented problem or issue in future practice.
Students will develop a 1,250-1,500 word paper that includes the following information as it applies to the problem, issue, suggestion, initiative, or educational need profiled in the capstone change proposal:
Background
Problem statement
Purpose of the change proposal
PICOT
Literature search strategy employed

Identification of potential barriers to plan implementation, and a discussion of how these could be overcome
Appendix section, if tables, graphs, surveys, educational materials, etc. are created

Does being “nice” in business matter? Can you be too nice? This case study explores the personality trait of “agreeableness” and how it fits into business. Research indicates that people high in this trait generally have a lower level of career success and earn less money. Even though agreeableness is a highly valued characteristic in hiring decisions, companies go out of their way to hire employees, even CEOs, who display a nice personality in job interviews. Yet in the long run, these individuals are not able to produce the performance levels that those low in agreeableness can. In general, organizations with “nice” CEOs led less successfully.
Do you think there is a contradiction between what employers want in employees (agreeableness) and what kinds of employees (those who are not agreeable) actually perform best? Why or why not?
Often, the effect of personality depends on the situation. Can you think of some job situations in which agreeableness is an important virtue? And in which it is harmful?
In research we conducted, we found that the negative effects of agreeableness on earnings is stronger for men than for women (that is, being agreeable hurt men’s earnings more than women’s). Why do you think this might be the case?
