Public Speaking Question 1 In my opinion, good organization is the most crucial of the 11 public speaking competencies outlined in chapter 1. The ability of an individual to organize his/her speech in a way that makes it easier for the audience to capture the main points is an essential public speaking skill. Good organization also involves the ability of a speaker to transition from one main idea to the other in a way that ensures a smooth flow of the speech. An organized speech is also crucial as it helps in the delivery of information and also avoids confusion. An organized speaker whose speech starts with main points which are well structured uses transition tools, and follows a logical pattern is provides information to the audience better than an unorganized public speaker. For instance, clear organization of a speech is an essential competence for lecturers and tutors. Question 2 There are three barriers to active listening.

Policy Regulatory and Measuring Outcomes task Policy/Regulatory: Adoption of m-Health to all households Does this quality and safety project have an impact on policy within the chosen setting? If so, who might be involved in considering the policy change? (i.e., individuals, departments, committees). Yes, it has. M-health presents multiple advantages in healthcare. However, not all that glitters is gold. It has a diverse effect on various divisions within healthcare, and these include financial issues, changes in workflow, temporary loss of productivity associated with m-health adoption, privacy and security concerns, among others (MINGUEL & NIEZEN, 2016). To put this in perspective, healthcare financial departments will have to do mega budgets to ensure that the m-health systems see the light. Being that the system increases the reliance on technology, many physicians and nurses might experience some incompetency due to overreliance in technology. Identify a regulatory body that may have oversight (direct or indirect) to the proposed change (i.e., TJC, CMS, ANA). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has been mandate through the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH)…

When financial institutions are evaluating the risk levels that are associated with the issuance of the bonds, they will look at the credit firms from various credit rating agencies. Many investors tend to look for a tradeoff between risk and return on their investments, which means that they would typically go for a higher coupon rate for the bonds that have a poor credit rating.
