Computer Technology

The advancement in technology has been taking place since time immemorial. It dates back from the invention of items such as knives and spears made out of rocks. In the recent past advancement in technology has been remarkably fast with the computer technology being produced and improved over time. Computer technology comprises of inventions related to computers with a dominant processing unit such as hardware and software of computers and the internet. Computer technology has a myriad of advantages such as helping individuals to interact and reconnect with their friends and relatives through platforms such as Twitter. Besides, platforms such as Google maps direct individuals from one place to another. However, computer technology has disadvantages such as minimizing socialization due to the urge of being on phone. Besides, computer technology exposes people’s personal lives.

The internet as a global network connecting many people has revolutionized the world significantly. Internet set the stage for the invention of products such as telephones, digital televisions, and radios. Through the internet, dissemination of information through interaction among individuals without considering geographical location has been made possible (Association for Career and Technical Education 6).          The internet allows individuals to acquire information, knowledge and learning. It contains an endless supply of knowledge that allows individuals to extract knowledge regarding any topic of interest.

Communication have been made effective by the internet. During medieval times, it would take a couple of days or months to deliver a message from one person. However, delivering a message nowadays is pretty fast which is attributed to the availability of the internet (UNITED NATIONS EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATION 72). For instance, sending a text message or an email to an individual in any part of the world is possible within a few minutes. Other related forms of communication such as WhatsApp and snap chat allow individuals to convey instant communication with anyone in the world.

The internet also allows individuals to carry out money transactions online without necessarily visiting the bank. As a result, individuals can view their balances and cater to their bills electronically. Also, people can do online shopping without necessarily visiting the market or stores (Yadav 857). Individuals are also able to compare different products and prices by getting oversight by checking what other people think about the products in question.

The internet has made it possible for people to work with other individuals all over the world in the comfort of their homes. Different online services have made it possible for people to have instant communication through which people can order and sell products wherever they are. Employers are also able to get employees online if in need and vice versa. Although the internet has a myriad of advantages, it also has some significant disadvantages. As a result of presence of personal information in the social media, some individuals have found themselves as victims of stalkers. This has led to the loss of lives of some of the victims (Yadav 856). Additionally, these platforms have been used to conduct illegal businesses such as money laundering and drug trafficking.

The internet has played a pivotal role in identity theft, hacking, and cheating. Due to the availability of many computers, people’s accounts are hacked and personal information stolen and used for identity theft (Yadav 856). Cases of exam cheating in institutions of learning have also been attributed to the presence of the internet. Students can access the internet and search for answers in search engines such as Google.

The internet has also played a substantial role in the escalation of depression, loneliness, and isolation. People are deeply engrossed in their gadgets such that they fail to relate with their fellow human beings face to face. They, therefore, fail to share issues affecting them hence the growth of depression and loneliness. Such situations finally lead to cases of suicide and death.

Staying a day without technology is humiliating. For instance, staying without the internet means there is no instant communication and many activities that require the internet will remain closed.  Business people and the society at large incurs great loses as a result. Lack of instant communication means people will have to use other modes of communication such as letters that are not effective. Individuals will, therefore, have to carry cash with them to pay the bills (Yadav 855). Besides, online shopping is affected by a lack of technology as people cannot order and pay for different goods. In a nutshell, going a day without technology is discriminating and retrogressive.

In conclusion, technology has played a significant role in revolutionizing the world. Individuals have been able to send and receive instant messages from their friends and relatives across the globe due to technology. People are also able to work in the comfort of their homes without necessarily going to the office. Although computer technology and especially the internet has many advantages, it also has disadvantages. As a result of the internet, people are not able to relate which leads to depression and isolation and also cases of cheating in learning institutions.

a. Provide information related to setting, patient, and topic

The setting is in the patient’s home, the patient isgeriatric,and the topic is related to patient’s disease process.

b. Discuss your rationale for choosing a technology tool

Formal one on oneinstructionis a plannedactivity.

One-to-one instruction,which may be given either formally or informally, involves face-to-face delivery of information specifically designed to meet the needs of an individual learner. Teaching methods such as one-to-one instruction have a positive effect on patient education and compliance (pg469)Such instruction offers an opportunity for both the educator and the learner to communicate knowledge, ideas, and feelings primarily through oral exchange, although nonverbal messages can be conveyed as well. Thus, this method of teaching is a process of mutual interchange between the patient and the health professional. It requires interpersonal skill and sensitivity on the part of the educator and the ability to establish rapport with the learner. (pg469) The pace and content of teaching can be tailored to meet individual needs. Ideal as an intervention for initial assessment and ongoing evaluation of the learner. Good for teaching behaviors in all three domains of learning. Especially suitable for teaching those who are learning disabled, low literate, or educationallydisadvantaged.(pg472)

C.Explain your lesson and how you would evaluate learning.

One-to-one teaching can be tailored to meet objectives in all three domains of learning. It begins with an assessment of the learner and the mutual setting of objectives to be accomplished (Burkhart, 2008). As part of the assessment process, it is very important to determine whether any problem behaviors exist, such as smoking, and at which stage of change the person is with respect to dealing with such behaviors. Once this information is determined, the educator can tailor educational interventions to that stage. (pg470)Return demonstration by the learner is carried out as an attempt to establish competence by performing a task with cues from the educator as needed. (pg473)

For this week’s discussion I choose to talk about technology. The tool that I have chosen is the iPad. We use the iPad for patient that need visual learning. The iPad is used bedside for admissions, educational purposes throughout the patients stay, discharging, educational videos, correctly identifying the patient’s histories and allergies and verifying the patient correct medication and dosage they are taking at home. When a patient is first admitted to the hospital, we have a questionnaire over education. This is how we assess what type of learner the patient is. We can successful help the patient learns through the iPad. The iPad helps patient who are hearing impaired, have language barriers and patients who are elderly and less educated. When using the iPad, we can assess the patient to see if the patient is interested in learning the information. We use educational videos that have been created and designed by the hospitals education coordinators with our healthcare system. “Rather than relying solely on verbal instructions, the iPad allows physicians the opportunity to visually communicate valuable educational information to the patient, including the course of treatment and follow-up care. Out of hospitals around the country who have implemented iPads as a means of improving discharge communication, 63% saw an improvement in survey responses regarding patient satisfaction (Kang, 2013). The ability to improve patient education ultimately leads to lower readmission rates and a higher ROI for hospitals and other medical facilities. This could save hospitals millions of dollars per year on patient reimbursement fees and Medicare penalties” (Engelhardt, D (n.d.).

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words.

Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source.

One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words.

I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately.

In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies.

Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work).

Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required).

Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation.

I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly.

As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content.

It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

Lopes Write Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me.

Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes.

Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own?

Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies.

Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances.

If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.

I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension.

As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me:

Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class.

Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.

HLT-490 Topic-1 DQ1

HLT 490 Topic 1 DQ 1

There are so many ways to find information. Technology has opened the doors such that one can read another’s dissertation from across the globe. There are experts who disagree with each other and yet have evidence to back up their arguments. How can a clinical practitioner distinguish between good research and bad research?

HLT 490 Topic 1 DQ 2

Patients surf the Web, watch TV, and are becoming better informed about health issues. Clinicians are so busy in the workplace, it is almost impossible to stop for in services and budgets are so tight it is hard to send them to seminars. How can clinicians stay current with the latest research? Why is staying current so important?

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print o
