Distinguishing Management and Leadership Competencies  Thriving organizations see the value of cultivating both management and leadership competencies. For this Discussion, you consider two distinct “buckets” of competencies—management and leadership—and think about how these can be leveraged to successfully introduce a new product or service in an organization.  To prepare:

 •Think about a new product or service in your organization that was recently implemented. ◦Identify five leadership strategies you might use to address the implementation of the new product or service. ◦Think about the management competencies that were needed in order for this project to be successful. Why are these competencies important? ◦Consider the leadership competencies required for success, and reflect on the value of these competencies.  

 Post a description of the new product or service and how it aligns with organizational goals and professional standards. Describe the distinct management and leadership competencies that facilitated successful implementation of this project. Provide your rationale.

You will need to think about multifaceted discharge planning for a 45-year-old, married African American male and an 85-year-old, widowed African American male who were admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA).

In your initial post, please answer the following:

1. What are the priority areas of concern for the individual in an advanced nursing role to consider in reviewing the expected diagnostic test results for an individual suffering from DKA, which may include changes to acid-balance, bicarbonate level, and electrolyte balances?
2. The usual treatment options for individuals suffering from DKA

Explain your rationale for your choices, citing resources from the literature.

Answer the following question as assigned by your role in the discussion:

• Write a succinct summary of the 45-year-old, married, African American male’s status and the 85-year-old, widowed, African American male’s status to present to the team as a plan of care. What would you expect to happen to these patients within the next 48 hours? Please be sure to identify any strengths and gaps in the plan of care.

Each of the 3 answers needs to be 2 paragraphs long (about 150-200 words per paragraph) answering the questions with references from:

Directions:

SPSS Output

Open SPSS and obtain an output (as in the tutorial videos) with the following results highlighted:

1. Determine the statistics for each gender as follows: Frequency Counts, Mean, Standard Deviation, Minimum, and Maximum.

2. Graphing and Descriptive Stats in SPSS: Create a bar graph with gender (axis X) and blood sugar (axis Y).

Data Set

Use the following data set for this assignment:

1. You have a group of patients observed with a diagnosis of Diabetes and their blood sugar levels are listed below based on gender. Men: 74, 71, 75, 248, 388, 505, 42, 21.

2. Female: 62, 68, 61, 71, 68, 80, 390, 148.

Summary
