Every organization must be considered the sum of its parts: the people, problems, and tools within it. Together, these parts shape the face of the institution and make it unique. When coming into a new organization, one should not presume that anything is so just because “that’s the way it was done at my other institution.” Different organizations have varying structures and approaches to management, and newcomers may find the environment confusing at first. Consumers of health care expect predictable, safe, and quality care. Recall from the readings that organizational theory attempts to explain how organizations are structured and managed. Based on this week’s readings and what has been presented on organizational theory, respond to the following:   Do chaos theory and complexity theory have any place in health care systems? Why or why not?

Chaos and Complexity Theory in Health Care

Readings
 

Course Text: Effective Leadership and Management in Nursing (8th ed.)

Chapter 2, “Designing Organizations”
In Chapter 2, the authors discuss various forms of organizational theory and how to employ these theories in differing working environments. A leader should pay close attention to the needs of an institution, as well as to the culture of its workforce. This chapter gives several strategies for engaging the workforce so that they may feel like valued participants throughout the change process.
 
Chapter 5, “Initiating and Managing Change”
Chapter 5 examines the necessity for organizations to change to meet the needs of patients and to keep up with improvements in medicine. As the state of health care is always in rapid flux, nurses need to be leaders, bringing new ideas to their institutions. The chapter discusses change theories and connects them with the nursing process. Change strategies are also explored, as well as how to handle resistance.

Course Text: Nursing: Scope & Standards of Practice Retrieved from the Walden Library databases. 

“Standards of Nursing Practice”
This section provides an overview of the steps nurses take in patient care, from diagnoses to treatment. Emphasis is given to the nurse’s role as planner and strategist in devising a care program for the individual patient.
 

Course Text: Guide to the Code of Ethics for Nurses: Interpretation and Application Retrieved from the Walden Library databases. 

“Provision 2”
Provision 2 states that the patient is the central figure in all nursing theories. The author explores the historical underpinnings of this provision and explains that nurses must approach each case as an ethical dilemma. They must strive to learn about their patients in order to provide care that is best for the patient, even if this care isn’t a textbook solution.

Three years ago, you earned $2000 working as a lifeguard. You.depositsed the money in a bank that paidsimple interest of 4.75%. One of the other lifeguards with whom you work deposited the $2000 she earned in a different bank. Her bank only paid 4.70%, but it compounded the interest annually. How lessmuch money was in your account after the end of the first year? How much was in your friends account? How much did each of you have in the bank after the end of the second year? Why did your friend earn

Identify a problem about language and/or translation that the text seeks to address. (For example:“Why do people speak different languages?” or “How do we deal with a single word that has multiplemeanings”? This problem should provide the title to your response paper. Quote from the text to show how the author addresses that problem, making sure to explain whatthe quote means in your own words (paraphrase). Find a second example if you can, and do the same.

 
About two double-spaced pages, using 1” margins and a readable 12-point font such as Times New

Identify a problem about language and/or translation that the text seeks to address. (For example:“Why do people speak different languages?” or “How do we deal with a single word that has multiplemeanings”? This problem should provide the title to your response paper.
Quote from the text to show how the author addresses that problem, making sure to explain whatthe quote means in your own words (paraphrase). Find a second example if you can, and do the same.
Apply the author’s position to a present-day example. This should be your own idea.
Offer a counter-example, a challenge, or a counter-argument against the author’s position. Doesa later quote in the text undermine the position you identified in step 3? If so, your counter-argument can be found within the text, so give another quote and explain it in your own words, as above. The best papers will engage with at least two substantial quotes from the text (see assessment rubric).
End with a question that your discussion of this problem has left you with. “If so, then what?” Keep your questions open-ended: that is, not answerable with fact, or by direct and immediate reference to the text. You are not expected to answer this question. Just show that the process of thinking through an idea and its counter-arguments has brought you somewhere.

Most of Judge Lifland’s criticism of E&Y focused on the firm’s audit procedures for CBI’s accounts payable. Generally, what is the primary audit objective for accounts payable? Do you believe that E&Y’s two principal audit tests for CBI’s accounts payable would have accomplished that objective if those tests had been properly applied? Why or why not?

 
See the “CBI Holding Company, Inc.” case for this question.
1-Most of Judge Lifland’s criticism of E&Y focused on the firm’s audit procedures for CBI’s accounts payable. Generally, what is the primary audit objective for accounts payable? Do you believe that E&Y’s two principal audit tests for CBI’s accounts payable would have accomplished that objective if those tests had been properly applied? Why or why not?
2-Do you believe that the E&Y auditors should have used confirmations in auditing CBI’s year-end accounts payable? Defend your answer. Briefly explain the differing audit objectives related to accounts receivable and accounts payable confirmation procedures and the key differences in how these procedures are applied.
3-In early 1994, E&Y officials discovered that the CBI auditors had failed to determine the true nature of the “advances” they had uncovered during the 1992 and 1993 audits. In your view, did E&Y have an obligation to inform CBI management of this oversight prior to seeking the “reaudit” engagement? More generally, does an auditor have a responsibility to inform client management of mistakes or oversights made on earlier audits?
4-Under what circumstances, if any, should an audit engagement partner acquiesce to a client’s request to remove a member of the audit engagement team?
5- E&Y officials believed that the CBI audits were high-risk engagements. Under what general circumstances should an audit firm choose not to accept a high-risk engagement?

EssayBob, the landlord, refuses to fix a small gap in a windowsill in the basement window that was there prior to the current tenant.  Lucia, the current tenant, has just discovered the gap after a heavy rain. The consequence is that black mold has been forming in the basement for quite some time.  Lucia still has significant time remaining on her lease.  Lucia has notified Bob in writing by email of the mold and leak issue but has received no response.  She is concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live in. It has been 14 days since she emailed him her notification.  What are all of Lucia’s options if Bob declines to do the repairs?
