Interview and Reflection Project

/in /by

Instructions
What and Why

The overall goal of our course is to develop greater awareness of and proficiency in formal academic, professional writing. To that end, you will conduct interviews with at least 2 professionals (you are free to interview more if you wish), one of whom can be your professor for this course. The purpose of these interviews is to gain insight into the relevance of and need for effective professional written communication.

When

This is a course length project. Thus, you have until the last day of the class to submit your final submission. However, if you wish to interview your professor, it will be necessary to plan in advance so that you can get a time scheduled with your professor.

Who

You are to select at least 2 professionals. Ideally, these professionals would be in your field of interest. They do NOT have to be psychologists or mental health professionals, although they certainly can be.

When selecting professionals, it would be best if the individuals were in different organizations and/or professions, as well as have differing levels of responsibility. Having such diversity will give you a greater perspective. The only requirement is that the professional writes as part of their professional duties, and that can include many different types of fields/disciplines (e.g., professional authors, lawyers, scientists, psychologists, professors in all disciplines, etc…).

Guidelines for the interviews

Identify your professionals. Be sure to explain that you are a graduate student with APUS and are needing to arrange for an interview as partial requirement for a semester project.
Conduct your interviews. When possible, face-to-face interviews are always best. However, as we are in the online arena, phone interviews are also acceptable. Additionally, you may use Skype, FaceTime, and/or email technologies to conduct the interviews.  If you will be recording your interview, be certain to gain permission from the interviewee to record (this could be required by law depending upon your state/jurisdiction).  If you choose to interview your professor, it would be acceptable to participate in an online group interview with other students from the course or for your professor to provide written responses to your questions (to help your professor manage all students’ interview requests in a time-efficient manner).
Be sure to record the interview and/or take copious notes so that you can recall the details when you begin the writing phase.
Guidelines for interview questions

Demographic information (e.g., gender, education, occupation, years of experience in the field, etc…)
Interview questions
It is best to use open-ended question format, as this encourages individuals to share whatever they feel relevant in addressing your question.
Areas to explore (this is not a required or exhaustive list; feel free to create your own questions)
Level and type of daily written communication
Current challenges in written communication
Past challenges in written communication
Type of academic and professional writings
Positive experiences with regards to academic/professional writing communication
Negative experiences with regards to academic/professional writing communication
Writing journey
Final Submission

You have some freedom in how you submit your finalized project. That is, you can submit a written paper, a PowerPoint presentation (with Notes), a Prezi presentation, or some other creative, but pre-approved, format.

Keep in mind that the objective is to discover the relevance of and need for effective academic, professional writing. To that end, in your final submission, you will need the following:

Summarize each participant’s interview information
Discuss commonalities between interviewees’ experiences
Discuss differences between interviewees’ experiences
Reflect upon the relevance to you
What did you gain from this assignment?
Was anything surprising? What? Why
Was anything disheartening? What? Why?
How can you use the information in your current and future endeavors?

A 78-year old woman is admitted to a Medical unit directly from her physician’s office for evaluation and management of congestive heart failure. She has a history of systemic hypertension.

/in /by

Your written assignment for this module should be a 2-3 page paper (not including title page and reference page).

A 78-year old woman is admitted to a Medical unit directly from her physician’s office for evaluation and management of congestive heart failure. She has a history of systemic hypertension.

The initial assessment completed by the RN of the assigned patient reveals a pulse rate that is rapid and very irregular. The patient is restless, her skin is pale and cool, she states she is dizzy when she stands up and she is slightly short of breath and anxious. Her BP is 106/88. Her ECG monitor pattern shows uncontrolled atrial fibrillation with a heart rate ranging from 150 -170 beats/min. Her respirations are 20/min and her O2 saturation is 90%.

  1. Given the findings, what should be the first action of the practical nurse?
  2. What additional data would the practical nurse collect?
  3. Discuss the potential complications of cardioversion and patient preparation for an elective cardioversion. Because the length of time the patient has been in atrial fibrillation is unknown, what adverse reaction may occur?

Later that evening the patient calls the nurse because she feels “like something terrible is going to happen.” She reports chest pain, has increased shortness of breath, and has coughed up blood-tinged sputum.

  1. Based on these symptoms, what might you suspect is happening?
  2. What is the first thing the practical nurse should do and what further information would you expect to be collected?

You should include a minimum of 3 references. Include a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page in APA format.
