Emotional intelligence (EI) is increasingly being seen as an important competency within nursing, which helps the professional to cope better with the emotional complexities involved in patient care. EI is the ability to understand and manage one’s emotions while also being able to recognize and respond to the emotional states of others. Such a skill among the nurses, who are in frequent contact with patients and their families while they are in distress, ensures compassionate and patient-centered care. Research has, therefore, proved that nurses with a high EI can manage stressful situations and easily gain their patient’s trust, improving their outcomes. In nursing practice, EI enhances communication, reduces misunderstandings, and boosts the quality of care.
Nurses deal with patients and their families, who are at times distressed emotionally, and such interactions must be managed both with empathy and professionalism. Emotional intelligence allows the nurse to acknowledge and support the feelings of the patients, which in turn makes the patients feel seen, heard, and understood. This emotional awareness is important for the well-being of the nurses themselves, as nurses who tend to their emotional state are less likely to suffer from burnout and compassion fatigue (Morrow et al., 2023). EI further enhances a supportive and cohesive healthcare team through understanding and cooperation among colleagues, which is important for ensuring safety and quality in patient care.
Although interrelated, clinical judgment, critical thinking, and decision-making remain delineated skills. Clinical judgment is conceptualized as the interpretation of patient data to identify appropriate action based on prior experience and knowledge, whereas critical thinking represents a multifaceted, broader process in which information is analyzed and synthesized; decision-making represents the nexus between these processes, where choices deliberate the best course of action (Calcagni et al., 2023). While the bedside nurse might make rapid decisions based on urgent patient needs, the advanced practice nurse may make more complex, diagnosis-related decisions, developing long-term care plans.
The roles of the bedside nurse and the APN are reflective of the differences in decision-making. For instance, the bedside nurse may have to make immediate comfort intervention decisions, such as adjustment of position or modification of pain management strategy to eliminate distress. In contrast, an APN would make either diagnostic or therapeutic decisions based on greater knowledge of the patient’s health history and would have to balance clinical reasoning against empathy. It allows the bedside nurse and the APN to respond compassionately and appropriately when patients or family members become anxious or fearful (Lampreia-Raposo et al., 2022). Emotional intelligence, therefore, optimizes compassionate and efficient care in complex nursing interactions.
Emotional intelligence can be described as the competence to perceive, use, understand, and manage emotions in oneself and others. In perspective, to an individual who has never heard of this concept, it means being emotionally self-aware, empathic, and competent in regulating emotions according to the amount of stress. The implication of EI in a clinical setting would be the ability to notice the fear of a patient undergoing a diagnostic procedure and, therefore, be able to respond with empathy and patience through supportive communication. A level of sensitivity like that not only reassures the patients but also leads to a collaborative partnership since the patients are usually respected and valued (Raeissi et al., 2019). Thus, EI facilitates compassionate, patient-centered, and effective nursing care.

Final Project Assignment 2 Writing Assignment

Fact Sheet
Write a Fact Sheet on Ever & Ever, the product, NOT ON THE COMPANY.
Fact Sheets are important because they give the reader a quick review of the most important facts they need to know about a product, person, service.
In your Fact Sheet, you will need to include the most important facts about the product,
for example:
· What materials it is made from,
· How it will help to sustain the environment
· Where available, when it will be available in the New York market
· Who manufacturers it
· Benefits of the product
· Recycling statistics
You should go to Google and research various styles of Fact Sheets to get a better vision of what this needs to look like.
This should be a one-page document. Be succinct . It is not about the event — do not include information about the event — only the product. Make sure to include your company and your contact information at top.

 Often, employers miss the mark on having insight regarding an employee’s well-being or how wellness factors affect job performance and overall work productivity.
Describe the following factors: well-being, wellness, workplace well-being, and financial well-being. Why should these factors become an integral part of total rewards?
Identify one of the factors described that you place the most emphasis on and discuss how and why the identified factor may play a role in an employee’s job performance and productivity.
Share your experiences in your narrative.

Part 1: Case Study Proposal
The purpose of this project is to link theoretical/scholarly material about media effects and content to a “real world” case. You will select a case of interest to you that recently  (the last year)  played out via some type of media channel. This could include traditional news outlets, the blogosphere, various social media outlets, or some combination of these channels.
You will then critique and analyze the case from the theoretical frameworks and perspectives in the scholarly literature you have chosen.  You can choose theoretical frameworks: situational crisis communication theory.
Your case study should conclude with a summary of lessons learned from the case and/or any communications recommendations you have for how the individuals and/or organizations involved could have used media more strategically to realize more favorable outcomes.
However, beforehand, you will write a proposal for your case study paper. This proposal should be a minimum of 4 pages, double-spaced, and a maximum of 6 pages, double spaced (excluding cover sheet and references). For your proposal, you will begin working on several sections of your case study paper (Introduction,  a portion of the Literature Review, the Methodology, and a portion of the Media Review section). Your proposal should include the following: Proposal Components: 1. Introduction and Overview: Describes overall purpose of paper (includes description of case for background/context; briefly previews type of media content that will be analyzed and theoretical/scholarly literature that will be used; makes argument for why that area of scholarly literature is best suited to understanding the case). 2. Literature Review: Summary of theoretical/scholarly literature reviewed for the case (at least 5 sources cited – the full paper will require 10, but the proposal should have 5 at a minimum). Make sure to explain the theory you are using so its application to the case is clear.
3. Methodology: Identifies media content analyzed, provides rationale for media content selected, describes how media content was collected.
4. Media Review: Provides analysis of the chosen media that derives from insights related to the theoretical framework outlined in the literature review. Findings from analyzed media texts are written in a narrative/thematic/descriptive format with example quotes interspersed to serve as evidence. In other words, describe the media sources (videos, text, images, etc.) and themes, using quotes to illustrate, enough so that the reader can understand how these examples are related to the prior sections of the paper. For the proposal assignment, you should have at least two media sources. Remember, media sources are different than your literature review. 
5. References: Provide your references in APA style. You should also use APA style for in-text citations. You do not need to include other elements of APA formatting such as a running header or abstract. 
Scoring: You can receive up to 20 points by submitting a Case Study proposal that adheres to the guidelines described above by the due date.
