(Benchmark Assignment) Spiritual Needs Assessment

This assignment requires you to interview one person and requires an analysis of your interview experience. Must be written from the nursing point of view.

Part I: Interview

Select a patient, a family member, or a friend to interview. Be sure to focus on the interviewee’s experience as a patient, regardless of whom you choose to interview.

Review The Joint Commission resource which provides some guidelines for creating spiritual assessment tools for evaluating the spiritual needs of patients. Using this resource and any other guidelines/examples that you can find, create your own tool for assessing the spiritual needs of patients.

Create a survey to assess the subject’s spiritual need during the interview. The spiritual needs assessment survey needs a minimum of five questions that can be answered during the interview. During the interview, document the interviewee’s responses.

Submit the transcript of the interview. The transcript should include the questions asked and the answers provided. Be sure record the responses during the interview by taking detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information from the interview.

Part II: Analysis

Write a 250-500 word analysis of your interview experience. Be sure to exclude specific names and other personal information from the interview. Instead provide demographics such as sex, age, ethnicity, and religion. Include the following in your response (must answer all 5 questions):

1. What went well?

2. What would you do differently in the future?

3. Were there any barriers or challenges that inhibited your ability to complete the assessment tool? How would you address these in the future or change your assessment to better address these challenges?

4. Describe the spiritual experience you had with your patient, family member, or friend using this tool. How does this tool allow you to better meet the needs of your patient?

5. Did you discover that illness and stress amplified the spiritual concern and needs of your interviewee? Explain your answer with examples.

Submit both the transcript of the interview and the analysis of your results. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines.

WEEK 6——“Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better.”
– King Whitney, Jr.
Whenever change occurs in organizations, families, or individuals, people react in different ways. People have a full spectrum of capacity to change, from highly resistant to change to enthusiastically embracing change and this capacity within each of us changes day-to-day. What change has occurred in your organization recently and what kinds of behavior did you observe from the individuals involved with the change?

In Writing Assignment 2, your job is to address this question. In this writing assignment, you are looking at who the artist is, and one selected work of art produced by the artist that you have chosen. Then work to relate the work and the artist to your own story, interests, preferences, etc. as they now relate to visual art.

WHERE TO START:
1. Choose an artist that you admire. Research his/her life and work and find out as much as you can about this artist. In your paper, briefly explain who this artist is and compare this artist’s life with your own life. Focus less on this as a research-style paper *on* the artist, but rather a reflection piece that allows you to reference the history and life of the artist as you develop your paper. Any artist you can think of is an option, but make sure that the artist is established and broadly known.
-Explain why you are drawn to this artist
-Do you like how the artist responds to environment?
-Do you like how the artist addresses social issues?
-Do you like the attention to or experimentation with materials? -Do you find the work to be novel, humorous, etc?
-What do you admire about him/her? Is it the work? His/her story? His/her background? -Have you have any similar life experiences?
-What life experiences have you had that would influence the art you would create in the same way this artist was or is influenced?
2. Describe in detail the work you would create if you were like this artist. Do this by selecting one work from this artist to use as a comparison-base. Include an image of the work in your paper. Develop an analysis of the work, and use that analysis to develop an assessment of what your fictional work would be like.
-How would your work be similar?
– How would it be different?
– How would the work you would do relate to your own life experience?
In addition to a discussion-critique-style analysis of the artists’ work, your paper should include a detailed description of one “master piece” that you would create. Include a description of the materials you would use to make it as well as some of the elements and preferences you see yourself working with and why.
Recommended structure:
-Introduction
-About the artist you selected
-A comparison and/or relation between you and your selected artist
-Analysis of work produced by your selected artist (elements, principles, and your opinion regarding content)
-Description of work that you would create (this can be loose or specific, but in either approach, be specific with terms and intent)
-have an Introduction and a Conclusion
• The Introduction should brief and prepare the reader for what the paper will cover.
• The Conclusion should briefly review the paper’s points. It should suggest further questions raised by the paper and might make further claims.
