 “Elevator Pitch”

For this week’s discussion, please respond to the following: 

  1. Develop an elevator pitch for your NAB business using the tips provided below. Use quotation marks for the elevator speech. Explain the rationale for its components.

Review this article (includes example) about the 3 steps to include in your elevator pitch.

Please consider the following as your prepare your speech: 

  • The tone of your speech should be upbeat and confident, but not arrogant
  • Make sure you use positive and compelling words
  • The speech should be short in duration (about 30 seconds)

While the elevator pitch is a tool known to be used in business, to pitch ideas and products or services, you can also use them when introducing your organization to potential customers or clients, when you are interviewing for a job or explaining people what you do. Same principles will apply.

For this discussion, we are pitching our business. Such a fun exercise!

Discussion: Factors That Influence Disease

Discussion: Factors That Influence Disease

In clinical settings, some of the most common questions that patients ask are Why do I have this? What caused this disorder? Will it ever go away? These emotional questions can be difficult to ask and to answer. However, for patients to come to terms with their diagnoses and adhere to treatment plans, they must have an understanding of factors that might have caused, or continue to impact, their disorders. As an advanced practice nurse, it is important that you are able to explain disorders, associated alterations and symptoms, and changes that might occur within your patients’ bodies.

To Prepare

· Review this week’s media presentation with Dr. Terry Buttaro. Reflect on the importance of developing an in-depth understanding of pathophysiology.

· Select a disorder from the following list:

o Adrenal insufficiency (Addison’s disease)

o Atherosclerosis

o Cholelithiasis (gallstones)

o Colon cancer

o Cystic fibrosis

o Hemophilia

o Nephrolithiasis (kidney stones)

o Osteoporosis

o Parkinson’s disease

o Tuberculosis

· Select one of the following patient factors: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Reflect on how that factor might impact your selected disorder, as well as potential associated alterations and symptoms.

· Identify the pathophysiology of the associated alterations, including the normal and altered cellular function. Consider both intra- and extra-cellular changes that occur.

ASSIGNMENT: 

Post a brief description of a patient scenario involving the disorder and the factor you selected. Explain how the factor might impact your selected disorder, as well as potential associated alterations and symptoms. Finally, explain the pathophysiology of the associated alterations, including changes in cellular function.

Homeland security threat analysis

Part 2

Free societies are at risk for terrorist acts for several reasons: a) loose control of public information; b) weapons, communications equipment, and explosives are easy to obtain; c) the ease of creating and operating functional networks and financial systems in free societies.

English Hw

This assignment requires you to ponder N. T. Wright’s talk                           ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukyNU51OcnA ) about developing Christian character and to revisit Lunde’s practical suggestions for “remembering, receiving and responding” as part of the “how” answer for the demands of discipleship.

Assignment: 

Lunde, Jonathan. Following Jesus, the Servant King: A Biblical Theology of Covenantal Discipleship. Zondervan, 2010. 

Coupling Wright’s emphasis on intentional effort in developing Christian character with Lunde’s biblical “how” insights in chapters 12 through 15, design a retreat for a weekend of Christian discipleship set aside to practice the kind of remembering, receiving and responding that will help attendees to become or grow into their “future selves.

Keep in mind what we’ve been learning regarding Jesus as King and the Christian life as participation in the Kingdom of God. Find ways to incorporate into your retreat plan evidence of careful reflection on how the good news of the kingdom and our resurrection hope in Messiah Jesus should shape our understanding of sanctification and spiritual formation.

Instructions:

  1. Plan the retreat schedule beginning on Friday evening at 6pm and ending at 3pm on Sunday afternoon.
  2. Include lights-out, wake-up, and mealtimes; menu is unnecessary unless you plan a particular significance related to something to be eaten.
  3. All activities you schedule, including any free time (other than short breaks), must be designed and identified as either Remembering, Receiving, or Responding.
  4. Include a brief description of each activity along with
    1. A notation as to the page number in the Lunde textbook that stimulated your thinking of it, and
    2. The references to any biblical passages specifically involved
  5. Creativity is desirable but faithfulness to the grace and demand of the New Covenant in Christ Jesus is essential.
