You must first post your answer(s) before you can see the other students’ posts. Submit your initial post(s) early in the module.

Instructions: In this discussion, you will need to post your response (no fewer than 200 words and including citation and research) before you can see a classmate's response. You are required to respond to three different classmates. (No fewer than 100 words). Please remember this post and your replies to classmates are due Thursday by 11:59 pm. You are required to cite material from your reading in your post. You may cite material from the lecture or other sources. Please do not include my Discussion in your response.

The organizational chart or the structure of the company and the relationships among its jobs and responsibilities is set up as follows: CEO, Vice President, Director, Manager—each performing separate and critical functions, thereby enabling the organization to function, meet its obligations, and to turn a profit (Reh, 2018).

You will read the Eastman Kodak Company case study later in this course. You are not required to read it for this Discussion. In 1974, Eastman Kodak controlled 90 percent of the film market. By the late 1970s, Eastman Kodak controlled 85 percent of the camera market, and it employed over 60,000 people. Its dominance in the paper film industry led to government action. What many people do not know is that one of Eastman Kodak's engineers invented the first digital camera. Eastman Kodak invested in the development of the camera, but leaders in the company delayed the release of the camera in fear that it would impact the paper film business.

As a manager for Eastman Kodak, how would you have acted in 1974? Would you have delayed the release of the first digital camera? Would you have sided with the leaders and delayed the release? Provide reasons for your decision.

Cultural Respect & Competency—Caring for a Vulnerable Population in My Own Community

Effective health communication is as important to healthcare as clinical skill. To improve individual health and build healthy communities, providers need to recognize and address the unique culture, language, and health literacy of diverse consumers and communities. As advanced practice nurses, we must be knowledgeable but also culturally savvy and understand the nuances of the populations that we serve.

Paraphrase concepts/theories specific to healthcare disparities as related to vulnerability; provide at least three applications of concepts/theories that could be implemented within your community.
As an APRN, how can you advocate for this identified vulnerable population within your community? Discuss at least three ways in which you can advocate.
How does what you learned about your own cultural competency affect how you might approach your role as an advocate? Did you find that you had bias? Were you aware of your bias prior to this exercise?
As an APRN, how will you strive to be culturally competent and respectful to those you serve? List and discuss at least three behaviors/characteristics of a culturally competent and respectful APRN.

Note: Evaluate your APA proficiency and make sure you address each of the required elements for this discussion. Utilizing headings for each aspect of the question is a great way to know that you covered the elements of the question.

Don’t forget to provide a clear purpose statement in your initial post.

In your reply posts, compare and contrast your vulnerable community’s characteristics or conditions, or even your own bias, with those of your peers in relationship to the question your peer answered.
