The Dietary Analysis Project is an assignment where you will keep track of your dietary intake and exercise over one week. This is not the time to start a diet or exercise program; I want to see your habits. Keep a food and exercise diary indicating when you eat (time), what you eat, and the estimated or exact portion size (use cups, ounces, teaspoons, tablespoons… consistent portions, not “a handful,” bag, etc.), plus any exercise or activities that increase your metabolism or fitness level. The reports generated from using the website are for you to help figure out how your diet measured up to health recommendations. After the program analyzes your intake, you will take the results and summarize them in your own words.

Turn in 2 documents: 1-Your typed food/exercise log and 2- A professionally written paper outlining the composition of your diet and improvements to make. Please use the following order to discuss the nutritional components of your diet. Each of the numbered items below should have its paragraph:

1. Calories. Start by explaining what Calories are and then what your average daily calorie intake was compared to what the program or other reputable resource says will meet your needs.

2. Carbohydrates. Start by explaining what Carbohydrates are, why they are needed, and then what your average daily carbohydrate intake was compared to what the program recommends for you. Discuss in terms of grams and comment on what percentage of your total calories come from Carbohydrates.

3. Protein. Start by explaining what Protein is, why it is needed, and what your average daily protein intake was compared to what the program recommends. Discuss in terms of grams and comment on what percentage of your total calories is made up of Protein.

4. Fat. Start by explaining what Fat is, why it is needed, and your average daily fat intake compared to what the program recommends for you. Discuss your fat information in terms of grams and comment on what percentage of your total calories is made up of Fat.

5. List the Important Vitamins & Minerals that you are consuming in your diet and your values compared to the recommendations for these nutrients (be specific about those analyzed on Fitday). The program will give you discounts for your Sodium, Potassium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Calcium, and Iron, so you will need to discuss them briefly.

6. Fiber (also analyzed in Fitday, link provided: https://www.fitday.com). Discuss the roles of fiber and what your consumption is compared to health recommendations.

7. How can you improve your diet and exercise level and come closer to meeting the recommendations? List several things you could do and different foods you could eat regularly to help you do this, and please be realistic. It is essential to consider whether you would swap certain foods, add them or delete them from your usual dietary patterns.

The written summary should be 3-5 pages in length, and you will also need to submit a copy of your food diary with all details (this could be a separate word document or at the beginning of your summary.

The purpose of this assessment is to demonstrate your understanding of and ability to analyze a root cause of a specific safety concern in a health care
setting. You will create a plan to improve the safety of patients related to the concern of medication administration safety based on the results of your analysis, using the literature and professional best practices as well as the existing resources at your chosen health care setting to provide a rationale for your plan.
Use the Root-Cause Analysis and Improvement Plan [DOCX] template to help you to stay organized and concise. This will guide you step-by-step through the root cause analysis process.
Additionally, be sure that your plan addresses the following, which corresponds to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Please study the scoring guide carefully so you understand what is needed for a distinguished score.
Analyze the root cause of a patient safety issue or a specific sentinel event pertaining to medication administration in an organization.
Apply evidence-based and best-practice strategies to address the safety issue or sentinel event pertaining to medication administration.
Create a feasible, evidence-based safety improvement plan for safe medication administration.
Identify organizational resources that could be leveraged to improve your plan for safe medication administration.
Communicate in writing that is clear, logical, and professional, with correct grammar and spelling, using current APA style.
Example Assessment: You may use the following to give you an idea of what a Proficient or higher rating on the scoring guide would look like but keep in mind that your Assessment 2 will focus on safe medication administration.

One way informatics can be especially valuable is in capturing data to inspire improvements and quality change in practice. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) collects data related to adverse events and safety concerns. If you are working within a practice setting to implement a new electronic health record (EHR) system, this is just one of the many considerations your team would need to plan for during the rollout process.
In a paper of 1,500-1,750 words, discuss the following:
Consider an opportunity for tracking care improvement. What key information would be needed in the database? Example: Time lapse from medication order documented in the EHR to delivery of medication to the patient for the cardiology service.

Describe the role informatics plays in the ability to capture this data. What type of project management strategies and methodologies can be implemented to support informatics initiatives to help improve quality within the clinical practice?

Discuss which systems and staff members would need to be involved in the design and implementation process. What is the role of the advanced registered nurse in promoting evidence-based practice and leading quality and performance improvement initiatives within this setting?

Outline strategies for implementing the new EHR proposal. Consider communication changes, transitioning to the new EHR, and managing resources (human, fiscal, and health care resources).

Discuss what professional, ethical, and regulatory standards must be incorporated into the design and implementation of the system.

Describe the measures and steps you would take to evaluate the success of the EHR implementation from a staff, setting, and patient perspective to measure effectiveness and ensure continuous quality improvement in practice?

Explain what leadership skills and theories would be needed to facilitate collaboration with the interprofessional team and provide evidence-based, patient-centered care?
You are required to cite five to 10 sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and nursing content.

Persuasive Research Essay.

Overview and Inspiration: “In the face of deep divides—inequity and injustice; ignorance about US and global cultural traditions; and indifference, polarization, and incivility that block a sense of mutuality—students must acquire a set of critical democratic capacities that allow them to navigate the complexity of differences in their own and people’s lives and forge a sense of shared humanity.” -from the 2013 Bridging Cultures to Form a Nation: Difference, Community, and Democratic Thinking Faculty Workgroup

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to challenge students to consider questions of difference, community, and democratic thinking—through this careful consideration and research, students will develop a persuasive essay of exemplary quality that highlights the composition and research skills they have honed over the semester.
