Spiritual Needs Assessment and Reflection

/in /by

This assignment requires you to interview one person and requires an analysis of your interview experience.

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 found in topic materials, 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.

Your spiritual needs assessment survey must include a minimum of five questions that can be answered during the interview. During the interview, document the interviewee’s responses.

The transcript should include the questions asked and the answers provided. Be sure to record the responses during the interview by taking detailed notes. Omit specific names and other personal information through which the interviewee can be determined.

Part II: Analysis

Write a 500-750 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:

  1. What went well?
  2. 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?
  3. How can this tool assist you in providing appropriate interventions to meet the needs of your patient?
  4. 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. This should be submitted as one document. The interview transcript does not figure into the word count.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

/in /by

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

For your final paper, you will be required to have eight credible and scholarly sources. For this assignment, you must choose seven sources to create an annotated bibliography.

Research Topic 

Is telehealthcare a good option for nursing homes?

Thesis

The benefits of telehealthcare outweigh its shortcoming, and it is thus wise to adopt it in the delivery of care with advancement in technologies.

For this homework, annotated bibliography is required only.

For each source, you will first need to have an appropriately formatted APA reference citation, immediately followed with a citation entry.

The citation entry should address the following components:

A short summary of the articles

An evaluation of the author’s background or authority

A description of the intended audience

A comparison of this work with other sources you have selected

An explanation of how this source supports or opposes your topic

Remember that your entire annotated bibliography should be double-spaced with no extra spaces between entries.

Your bibliography needs to be correctly indented with the first line of each reference list citation flush left with the left-hand margin (no indentation), and the second and proceeding lines should have a one-half inch hanging indent from the left-hand margin.

Your annotation begins on the line following the end of the reference, and lines up with the indented portion of the reference.

Your citations should be listed in alphabetical order by author’s last name.

Rubrics:

Sources are highly relevant to the topic and add greatly to research potential. Few, if any, additional sources are needed. All sources are from credible, scholarly, peer-reviewed materials.

All main/critical points are included for each annotation. Annotations succinctly and comprehensively describe the source material.

Evaluation clearly explains why the sources were chosen and thoroughly identifies their degree of relevance to the topic.

The assignment consistently follows current APA format and is free from errors in formatting, citation, and references. No grammatical, spelling, or punctuation errors. All sources are cited and referenced correctly.

Using your course textbook locate three examples of illuminated manuscripts from the early Middle Ages. Read about each one in your textbook, course lectures, and through reliable internet resources

  1. Who commissioned the creation of the manuscript? Why?
  2. What was the purpose of the manuscript?
  3. How do the visual characteristics of each manuscript contribute to or enhance its message or meaning?

Be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them by discussing specific details about each manuscript.

Question 2: Romanesque and Gothic Cathedrals

Both Romanesque and Gothic architecture displayed distinctive characteristics and features. For this assignment, select one example of Romanesque church architecture and one example of Gothic church architecture from your course textbook. Read about each one in your textbook, course lectures, and through reliable internet resources.
