The following post has two assignments namely;
1.Dysfunctional patterns of communication
Effective versus dysfunctional patterns of communication among members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team
Discuss effective versus dysfunctional patterns of communication among members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team, and provide two examples.
Consider the interaction between a nurse and a physician at 2:00 a.m. when a patient requires new pain management orders. Consider the interaction between a nurse and a member of dietary staff when
an incorrect meal tray is just about to be given to the patient: the nurse intercepts the tray before the patient receives the incorrect meal. You may provide your own two examples to discuss if
you wish to do so.
2.Monitoring Performance
You have just been promoted from front-line supervisor to be one of the firm’s senior managers. During your business education, you learned that the primary role of a manager is to make good
decisions. As a supervisor, you had frequently been making routine decisions, but you realize that decision making for the overall company can and will have far greater impact on the company and
its employees. Your boss, the chief executive officer (CEO), realizes that you do not have much practice in this higher level, decision-making process and has asked you to write a memo describing
your understanding of how to make important decisions. Your memo should address the following questions: Describe at least 3 criteria that would determine whether the manager is making good
decisions. What should be done to better assure that you are making a good decision? In the realm of decision making, what are assumptions? Rather than use a dictionary definition, cite several
specific assumptions that would go with any real-life decision you have made or have seen made at a company at which you have worked. Given the importance of proper assumptions, your boss asked you
to assess the accuracy of certain business assumptions and what could you do to test or confirm the credibility of them.
